It's all just meaningless words. There won't be enough money spent to replace the high number of out going players with enough quality to do anything, let alone switch the style of play to a possession based approach. A big summer ahead but one that will likely leave us incredibly short on quality but asking players of lesser ability to play beyond their capability. It's going to be a scrap at the bottom next season.

Keep up the good work

Is this guy on here?

Not spending any money, promoting the youth, projects etc. etc.

Still only has 605 signatures, mental

Agreed. Venky's will deffo be covering their own backs more than anything else.

We're getting towards the business end of the season, which is usually a depressing time for us, watching other clubs have success whilst we plod along as the least ambitious club in England. Made worse this season by the self inflicted, mortal wound we gave ourselves.

Probably one of the worst weeks of football I've had for a long time. Just fuck off football.

Never been able to get my head around that argument from some of our fans. Even taking off the Rovers tinted glasses.

We should care, as it shows that we are an absolute mess of a club.

After waves of negativity towards Rovers, Venkys, Waggott, suhail & Gestede over the last couple of days, a couple of people now leaping to the defence of Venkys "No one else will buy us" "Who else can afford to fund us with £20m per year?" "We're not an attractive purchase for anyone" Etc, etc. Like banging your head against a brick wall.

Dingles have already started calling him "agent Ismael" Just 4 games to be endeared by our biggest Rivals. We couldn't have asked for a worse start to this "New era"

Scarves, copying what Man Utd fans did but it's cheap, visible and can easily be brought to every game home and away.

Mental how we have such a fractured fanbase. The hierarchy have done a great job with a divide and conquer strategy over the last 15 years. I don't think an empty Ewood achieves anything, they'll just sell players to cover the costs. Banners, chants, tennis balls on the pitch is probably the next step. I don't think it would result in getting us to our end game but it would be highlighted in the media in the UK. It would be a start. It's highly unlikely, unless we're relegated to league one, that there would be enough fans willing to do much more. Personally, I think the only way we get rid of them is getting a game abandoned and then the threat of doing it again gets the wheels turning, as it involves outside parties (the other clubs, the football league etc.) But that comes at potential great cost to the general fan.

Fair play you even gave it a go, I gave up with his bullshit after the last game.

I wonder (more hope i guess), if there is a break clause for this summer. Giving him a 3 year deal was ludicrous and considering the short term nature of how they operate, it goes well against their current trend. Not a cat in hells chance they sack him and pay him up for 3 years. It's all about cost savings, so there must be something that's weighted heavily in the clubs favour.

3 losses to 3 of the worst teams in the league. Terrible appointment.

Correct decision but we're losing so it's annoying

The ref has reversed a penalty decision due to pressure from Cardiff players. FUCK OFF!

Derby 3-2 up now.

Got into a few good attacking positions but his final ball has let him down. He's not been too great defensively either.

Desperate stuff, clearing one off the line, at home, against Cardiff.

ACD is absolutely wank.

7 point gap to 6th now. It's done. Ismael has destroyed this season in 4 games.

1-2 Cardiff.
