It was in the past too, little boy

Invading the pitch in those was days was not a legal right, it was considered disorderly conduct and those doing so could still face charges such as breach of the peace or obstruction. Many Rovers fans were arrested but the majority were not, mainly because of the numbers involved. The same thing would happen now. If fans want to bring down a rotten regime, a revolution is required, and it worked in the past. Quiet "protest" won't cut it I'm afraid. Have you got what it takes? It doesn't look like it.

See reply above. More effective than a boycott IMO

Possibly not, but pitch invasion, maybe stopping the game, the international media would sit up and take notice

Yes, in the 1970s. Your turn now

Still the only way IMO.

Why would it? They'll just shrug their shoulders - even assuming they know about it

Can I ask what the protesters are hoping to achieve by staying away from the Watford game?

He looks like a man who wants to be sacked. The body language, the demeanour, shows a man who does not want to be in the job. His position is unsustainable and he knows it. In days gone by a manager in that situation would have resigned by now - no question - but the payoffs are so lucrative these days they hang on. The club should put him out his - and our - misery

This is getting silly now, we cannot carry on like this. There is no reason not to sack him

We have a set piece coach apparently, clearly a genius

So what does Adam Owen actually do? What is the function of a "technical director"? This appears to be a non-job to me, but one for which I'm sure he's well paid Clubs used to be a simple. There was a manager, who managed the team (obviously), a trainer, and a secretary. They had one of two assistants, but that was about it. Now I'm told (usually by Chaddy) the game has changed and the we have to have "directors of coaching", "technical directors", "heads of recruitment", specialist coaches for forwards, defenders, goalkeepers, free kicks, corners and throw-ins, a huge number of people at great expense who, it seems to me, add no value whatsoever

The Walkers sold out at exactly wrong time. Money coming into the Premier League was about to explode, and we were one of the clubs riding the gravy train. They prided themselves on being business people but they got it badly wrong

Abso bloomin ‘ lutely Really irks me more than anything when small minded Rovers fans see clubs like them (and Brentford etc) as “above our level” and say we can’t compete with them. They’re not and we can What they are though are well managed clubs with good owners and executives with ambition, confidence and drive and nous. Burnley have shown what is possible. Has to be said but Rovers need to be run on the Burnley model.

Sources in Ireland say Damien is a bit of a volatile character; he made a sudden departure from Shelbourne shortly after winning the title citing various frustrations with how the club was run. I don't think he'd last 5 minutes at Ewood
