Not just that, he's Kean-level arrogant and there's a reason why he's been fishing around random European leagues and not being employed in the UK (because he's shit). Newcastle fans despised him and couldn't wait to get shut of his Cockney wide-boy ways. He's just not a Rovers manager and I can't see anything but disaster if he lands here. If Farke is definitely off the table, which if the staffing position is anything to go by, he most likely is, I'd much rather go for younger and 'on the up' candidates like Ainsworth.

This. Honestly think a Pardew appointment would be the final straw for a LOT of fans.

From the sound of things, I suspect League 2 teams will be run a lot more efficiently than we are. Embarrassing.

Highly doubt this, but in any event we will be looking to move Brereton on this summer. Although the new manager won't get the majority to play with (real life isn't FM), it will certainly bolster the budget for summer recruitment.

Pardew would be a huge disaster. Arrogance is bad enough, but combined with incompetence is unforgivable. Would honestly take pretty much anyone over him. Let’s hope Glen is proven right after all and Monday brings us good news 🇩🇪

Despite some quarters claiming that he was about to take over. Just goes to show that none of us know what's actually going on...

I'm holding onto the hope that Glen's input is the correct one and the rest is paper and/or agent talk. Only way to find out is to hold tight and wait to see what happens next week...

Brereton will be playing in the Prem within a few years. Possibly even internationally (with Chile). Chapman will be nowhere near that. A few stepovers and goals in League 1 won’t change that.

Hopefully so - and I’m assuming it’s the case. Just strange to see from a player of Trav’s ilk.

I think this summer is the minimum term, dependant on how the season pans out. We know that Venky’s will never pot him, but I think he’ll walk if we don’t finish top 6 this season. And I’m very much TM in, he’s done a massive job here. Don’t lose sight of the state of the club when he joined, compared to where we are now (not just league positions).

Good 3 points, however poor the game was. Every good team has to win ugly sometimes, it’s actually the sign of a good side. On Trav, I like him and I like what he brings. But my complaint since his return from injury, is that when he loses possession, he stands gesturing and complaining rather than biting ankles to get it back. Hopefully fitness related, but it’s not what you expect to see from him.

Hardly. Nothing to do with 'the game', it's about one club's financial mismanagement.

The problem you get at Ewood is that, for anything other than the 2/3 standard chants, only half a dozen people join in - so it sounds awful. If you had 3 stands (or even just the Blackburn End) singing the Rhodes one, for example, it'd sound great. Creativity has never been our fans' strong point, in fairness.

I never knew him, but my thoughts are with his family. In John and Warren, the Rovers family have lost two big personalities in the last week.

Rest in peace mate. Top, top bloke.

I like the look of it. Not keen on shirts without sponsors. Just looks incomplete and amateurish.

A nice write up in today's Telegraph and lots of action pics at www.kipax.com

Finished 6 vs 1 to the home side, a great night of footy and hopefully lots of money raised for a worthy cause. Should have been 6-0, but a rare mistake from Big Col gifted them a goal and took away my clean sheet

I'll be there, such a worthy and worthwhile cause. Let's hope a good crowd turn up and raise plenty of money for BLESMA.

Completely agree. Last chance saloon for Venky's now. Make or break.

Great result in the circumstances. We know that Venky's aren't going anywhere, so let's hope that they make some wholesale changes in the summer.

Good 3 points, made it closer than it needed to be in truth. Probably sends Huddersfield down, looking at remaining fixtures.

As I said, Jordan 100% cert to score, Rovers to win against a poor Hudds team. Only halfway but I can see it ending 2 or 3 to nil, with Rhodes scoring again.

Apparently the film makers wanted the moors of Darwen, but found the people of Darwen too scary Comfortable win for me tonight against a poor Huddersfield team. Jordan is an absolute 100%, stonecaster to score tonight. At least 1 goal.

I know the man was certainly connected. I once posted a snippet of 'insider' information, back when I had a decent information source at the club and Kelbo PM'd me to both confirm what I'd been told and who had told him (which linked in with who told me). I had a good few PM conversations with him about various things. Top man.
