With a bit of minimum wage work the Riverside will become home to a minimum of 100 million chicks.

They will be allowed onto the pitch on non match days as free fertilizers...Cheston likes this.

It may get a bit smelly in the Upper JW, depends on which way the wind in blowing.

Ah you guys and your crazy ideas.

*Note to self: Steal his idea*

I don't think he did believe it. Just playing with us really. Made him rich, what did he care?

Fair point really, he was just flicking that forked tongue as long as he could in order to keep getting paid.

Another great write up DE.

The last one was a painful trip down memory lane, this time, I was nearly laughing. What an absolute BS merchant K**n is. Looking back at the quotes in here just shows how delusional he really was.

Mental to think he believed so much of his own bullplop.

Funny to see that Desai also used the phrase "Outstanding Candidate" to describe the next manager, which turned out to be Steve K**n.

Incredible work there DE.

It was a difficult read, so I imagine it was twice as difficult to write.

Just pay it. You know for certain that they'll go the following day, and you'll have to pay another £8 to change it back to what it was before. 

I'll take one for the team and pay £16 to get rid of the V's.

I was going to change my xbox gamer tag to something venkys out related but Microsoft wanted to charge me £8!!

Scandalous!

http://www.lancashiretelegraph.co.uk/sport/15270535.Rovers_boss_Tony_Mowbray_plans_Venky__39_s_meeting_to_discuss_his_future_following_relegation/

“I will have some talks in the next week or two with the people who matter at this football club,” Mowbray said.

“Whether the journey for me continues or not. Let’s see. If it does, I can only see if being really strong if we can keep the right players.

“We will see how the summer goes.”

When asked if he would walk away from Ewood Park should he not receive the right assurances from Venky's Mowbray added: “That’s headline I don’t want to see or talk about.

“What’s important is that I sit down and have discussions in the next week or two with them and hopefully they’re positive."

Basically, we'll need a new manager for next season's relegation battle.

If Mowbray doesn't walk this week he will do when he see's how he has to "rebuild" the squad for next season with no money and a few loans.

That Karma may well come next weekend with a Rovers win and a Brum Draw. How sweet would that be?

If there was any justice in football (there isn't) Birmingham would get relegated, with us and forest surviving.

It's my sons second birthday on Saturday, Rovers better not ruin it

Is my daughter's 4th birthday on Saturday too.

Could be a day for brave faces.

Happy birthday to your lad as well.

Huddersfield have cemented their place alongside Newcastle as one of my most hated teams.

Cheers for nothing Udders.

Sadly I think that it us a real and justified fear that we will go for youth and a few older loans or cheap final pay days and tumble on down.

The youth supply line will at best downgrade as the Acadmeny status is reduced or worse.

An old saying:

How do you go Bankrupt?.. . It starts off slowly.....then goes very very quickly.

The same will apply to our fall from grace and downward spiral.

I am at an age where I will imo never see Rovers again play in the PL and maybe not even in the Chanpionship.

Just what did happen in the Pune area during the Raj that we are made the scapegoats by the crunts in Pune.

Same.....

...And I'm only 33.

I have heard today from two unconnected people that Mowbray is experiencing problems with a small but significant number of senior players who quite simply have no interest in playing. His comments lately to the Telegraph seem to support that, when reading between the lines.

Emnes is the one name mentioned to me but it appears there are others. I don't suppose I should be suprised that a bunch of overpaid journeymen with no affiliation to the club, nor any intention of staying beyond the end of the season seemingly couldn't care less, but it still hurts to hear. 

My Brentford trip is officially cancelled!

Mowbray should be calling these players out.

People on here are already saying he's not good enough, so alot of the blame for relegation is likely to end up at his feet.

Emnes surprises me to be honest, Mowbray spoke very highly of him in one of his first interviews having worked with him in the past. 

I'd Chuck Bennett in the good guy camp also, he has improved under Mowbray but has also stood in with the fans to watch the game when injured.

We will fill it (we have just about every away end this season), we will be in fancy dress and likely cheering you on. Oh and I have a Venky banner already....

You sir, are a gentleman

Just read an interesting  stat there. We haven't opened the scoring at Ewood since October. What the hell is going on there? 

Relegation

5 minutes ago, Gavlar Somerset Rover! said:

I don't know about everyone else but I'm looking forward to having a break from football this summer. It's been nothing but relentless pain and heartache for 7 seasons now and it's taken its toll on me. We all know that unless they bugger off then it's going to get worse come August, whatever division we're in.

Yep i'm the same. Just about enough left to get through these next 3 games and then hopefully the break will do me some good.

Although, even though I've accepted relegation its going to be painful when it happens, that will last a while. Then, i'll end up getting drawn in on the summer business and seeing what total dross we bring in and which dross leaves.

Then the league one season will be upon is no time, where all expectations of coming straight back up will be blown away when we get stuffed 0-3 away at Oxford on the opening day.

And the cycle of nightmares continues.

It would be fantastic if one of the early aims of the Trust was to draw on the talent pool offered by the FF, the Ewood WMC group and the Action Group.

One central organisation, or at least a coalition reinvigorating the KGH opportunity, ready for when the time comes and we need to all be pulling in the same direction.

What about WAR? Did that even exist anymore?

I think he meant for us!

Ah, good point, well made
