Tony gets confused and thinks he has to make a change too

https://www.bbc.co.uk/sport/football/22305776

Has Mercer predicted an easy win? Hopefully not, in which case I'm optimistic. Come on Rovers

and Jonathan Miller

Lewandowski 4 goals for Bayern so far tonight......Sam had him lined up for Rovers before he was potted

Yeah, great decision that one. It's played out pretty well since then

..... and England. He relunctantly attended a press conference after his departure saying to the waiting media"I don't know why I'm here". ....um, because you were a failure as manager and trousered millions of quid in compensation and need to explain yourself Roy? Don't like him

.......... and double or triple FFS, stop the soft as butter defence conceding 2 goals every game.

Burnley now in 6th place makes you weep

Watford 0 Burnley 3 that is what you do to bottom teams what i ‘d give for Dyche at Ewood

Club is adrift and lifeless. Passion and desire gone. Apathy rules. And no one at Ewood can or will do anything about it

18 goals conceded in 9 matches keeping up Tony’s long term average. At least he’s consistent. Get rid.

Changes nothing. Rovers have to score 3 to beat the bottom team. So what?

This is an absolute joke we concede goals so easily. Nothing ever changes. I’m sick of Mowbray

Mowbray is hopeless, he really is. Stealing a living at Ewood

Just placed 28-1 on Rovers to lose 4-1. Quids in

Saw him make his debut, aged !8?? Anyway, at least 40 years ago. Makes me feel old. Happy birthday Simon.

I enjoy the odd tease but these constant wind-ups are getting tiresome. This Rovers side are entirely capable of losing to Barnsley - and you know it.

........and he's also a brilliant footballer who gets better every season. England are lucky to have him Wouldn't be surprised to see him at Barcelona or Real Madrid eventually. The race comment is silly, Rev

........... and his "holiday" when the club were looking to make a critical appointment. Smacks of the Roy Keane transfer farce. The club might as well put a closed for business sign on the front door.

Would you blame him? Another great decision by our "owners".

Warnock gone. Get him. Absolute no-brainer

The Times piece also said Peter Ridsdale of Leeds infamy is involved with PNE as an adviser to the Preston owner - which I didn't know. Now he's a contentious figure but he knows football inside out and and certainly knows more than the "advisers" at Ewood

Good piece on PNE and their manager Neil in the Times today. Preston's starting XI on Saturday cost less than £1.5m in total. The playing budget, £15m, is among the bottom 5 in the division. The £2m fee paid for Tom Bayliss from Coventry in August was a club record. Over to you Tony, for an explanation on why you've underperformed despite spending tens of millions

Leicester paid £12m for Harry Maguire and sold him for £80m. No sell-on value there then.
