JDT leaving is no surprise whatsoever. I have little faith that anyone at the club will get the next appointment correct. JDT has been looking for the sack for a long time now. He knew his comments in the media wouldn't be tolerated forever. Results have been absolutely wank as well for far too long.

Obviously he wasn't ever joining, the club is a fucking shambles. Also, why would he even want to join us next season, when we are likely going to be in League one?

Agreed. They can't allow it or it sets the precedent for the future/all clubs.

Hahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahaha If anything sums up the sheer incompetence of the ownership and hierarchy of this football club, this is it. 🤡🤡🤡🤡🤡

As @goozburger says above, the decision didn't come until March, so yeah not much time left.

They aren't getting that money back, ever. There is no realistic way they can claw it all back. Surely, the "best" solution is for them to draw a line under it, write it off and sell up, rather than continuing to stack more and more on top?

Pretty sure GB said no one had ever won the appeal before (following the O'Brien fiasco) so it would seem totally pointless appealing this when it inevitably gets rejected. Although the situations are slightly different, an appeal just pointlessly drags it out in some horrifically cringe inducing manner.

It is

Just to be clear, it was more of a joke post. I could see Ennis scoring (because that's just our luck) but I doubt he'd do anything daft.

Back in the day, there were always rumours of Venky/club plants on this messageboard. This still a thing? (if it ever was?) Just wondering if any of the cretins in charge will have been made aware of the growing unrest (to the point where protests are being discussed)?

0-2 defeat. Ennis to score and sush the crowd in his celebration. Ewood erupts and "We want Venkys out" is shouted loud and clear from the stands.

Yep, seems to be gaining some traction.

Looks like the time to strike with regards to any protest is now. The Rovers Twitter page has posted this morning just the standard "Up next" usual post, which normally isn't really commented on. There are 50(ish) comments (not a lot, granted) and 95% are just #VenkysOut or have that hashtag in the comments.

Yep, we need a manager who can grind out results, even Warnock till the end of the season. Abandon all plans for playing Barcelona-esq football and get some points on the board by hook or crook. We don't need Solskjaer either, I think we'd be in a similar situation as we are now with JDT. We need a manager who can come in and get some points on the board, we haven't won a league game for nearly 2 months. A loss to Stoke and we are all but down.

For everyone's sake, JDT needs to leave. In his own words, this isn't what he signed up for. His heart isn't in it, hasn't been all season. For a while now, his continued employment has been detrimental to both the club and him. He will relegate us, no doubts. Our defensive record this season has been truly embarrassing, some of the goals we concede are the stuff of amateur football. That said, I do think JDT will go on somewhere and be a good manager, he's already won league titles elsewhere. He just isn't what we need. Cap in hand to John Eustace and pray to God he wasn't just a flash in the pan, like Beale is proving to be. Edit: additionally, JDT said in his last interview, after offering to quit for free, the club said they didn't want him to go. He ended up moving his family over here. That is likely the only reason he's still here going through the motions.

Just to add to that, QPR's second goal, their lad ran into acres of space. Moran, Tronstad and Sigurdsson were all just casually jogging back. None of them were busting a gut to get back.

Hedges on the right, Chrisene on the left and JRC in the middle.

Looks like we screwed up, again

Not really a team of kids today though: Pears - 25 JRC - 24 Hyam - 28 Wharton - 26 Chrisene - 20 Tronstad - 28 Moran - 20 Dolan - 22 Gallagher - 28 Szmodics - 28 Sigurdsson - 24 Even more concerning we put in such a poor performance with those players.

We're not getting sucked into a relegation battle, we've been in one for weeks.

JDT sticking the boot in on Waggott, Suhail and The Cretins. Good man 👏 Just gone back up in my estimations.

And there it is. As we all knew it was to begin with. The REAL problem with this football club. VenkysOut

Irrespective of how much you rate/don't rate JDT, these latest revelations have made it impossible for us to continue as we are. He must be released from his contract, he's not wanted to be here all season. Staying as we are, takes us into league one.

JDT's hearts not been in it for the whole season.

We're not getting an equaliser, are we? Basically we've got like 1 minute left to give ourselves a fighting chance of staying up.
