It was always staring you in the face

If Eustace was in 2 minds about moving I think that statement would make him pack his bags now

I don’t attend matches to “financially back the regime”. It doesn’t even cross my mind. I attend matches to support the team in blue and white halves, like I have for 60 years. Staying away as a “protest” against the owners achieves little except long term damage to the club. Crowds could dwindle to zero but that still does not mean they’d relinquish ownership.

Makes you feel better no doubt but doesn’t solve anything I’m afraid

That's staggering but not surprising as it's consistent with a club that is run by people who have no connection or affinity with the area whatsoever. Has he ever been to Ewood, or actually watched Rovers play? It's ridiculous. It goes without saying this is not how a football club that has strong ties to the local community should be run. It's all such a mess

LT article citing “family” too. Really? Living in a hotel obviously isn’t sustainable. Why don’t these people don’t buy a home in the area? They’re multimillionaires, they can afford it. If they truly believe in the “project” they should move house and commit to it. The club should insist on it too - but with a CEO who lives down south that’s not going to happen.

‘Family reasons’ is nonsense and just a party line and smokescreen for the real problems he’s having at the club, which everyone knows. They must think fans are daft if they expect us to believe it and no one except Chaddy would take it as the truth

Can we include Dolan in the deal? Two conkers and a dead frog would be a fair swap

........... because the offer is on the table now, not at the end of the season, and he wants it.

Too many ifs and buts Wolves were in 2nd gear most of the time Two wins in 11 or 12 (?) matches speaks for our "mentality"

Come off it - there's loads of posts on social media of Liverpool fans going berserk at today's result "Happy to be out of the cup" Eddie.

And we've no chance of getting in the play-offs - we're in a false position, we're not good enough, it's not going to happen. There is an argument too that winning today would have given the players a huge confidence boost for the last 15 games of the season. Excitement! As is stands, they're probably down in the dumps again after another loss. Of course getting to the final is unlikely but that's not the point. These are one-off games and anything can happen and a cup run creates a wonderful feel-good factor and excitement - that word again. Plymouth fans will be in delirium now. I wonder how Liverpool fans are feeling now and will be "happy to be out of the cup"? "Happy to be out of the cup". No true football fans would want their team to lose any game It will be your epitaph

I loved the excitement of Cardiff under Souness and the great cup runs under Hughes. Fantastic days. "Happy to be out of the cup". Idiotic

Maybe, maybe not. He might have come here hoping it would change, but in reality it was unworkable and far worse than he ever imagined it to be. The worst part is the message it sends out round the game to other prospective (decent) managers - that the club does not function properly and should be avoided

Plymouth 1 Liverpool 0 That's the way to do it

Maybe he was told the lies you're accusing him of

Other jobs will come up obviously but he fancies Derby for a number of reasons and the offer is on the table now - not the end of the season

Bottom club Plymouth 13 minutes away from beating Liverpool. Shows what's possible when you put the effort in.

More garbage on a par with "happy to out of the cup" You clearly don't understand how football works - there is no loyalty and any player or manager will move if a better opportunity presents itself. Eustace is ambitious but in 12 months has clearly worked out the club is dysfunctional and lacking ambition A better opportunity has come up. Why wouldn't he go? I'll be sorry to see him go but it hasn't all been milk and honey with him. The team has been hard to watch this season and he's leaving us in freefall in the league

Is it too much to ask a manager being paid £1 million a year or thereabouts to buy a home and live in the area? Families move around all the time in other walks of life so why should football be any different? It's on record that Eustace put his name in the hat for the Coventry and West Brom jobs. This time Derby are offering him a job. He wants to go. Today was his last game it seems to me

It doesn't work like that unfortunately Derby are offering him the job now - not at the end of the season If he fancies it (for whatever reason) he'll go

To be fair I thought Buckley had a good game and JRC made mistakes but got better as the game went on. Still a very decent player at this level when he's in form and playing with confidence

We're not making the play-offs - it's not going to happen. The cup offers the chance of making the last 8 or going further and sight of Wembley, and it makes the season exciting for players and fans Ask the Rovers players if they're "happy to be out of the cup". It's a ridiculous thing to say

Why would anyone be "happy to be out of the cup" A ridiculous statement

Routine for Wolves, at a canter. They didn't need to try very hard, and would have won by more except for poor finishing Rovers scored a decent early goal that should have stood but apart from that what did we offer? Very little. A few crosses that were easily dealt with, a couple of decent shots, but none that troubled the keeper. Where was the desire and pressure and momentum in the second half to try to get back into that game? A depressingly low (and depressed) home support made it all so predictable and familiar.
