Utterly bizarre. For a start, there is zero suggestion that a bad result would in any way change Mowbray's future, but I just don't get why anyone would come onto a thread like this and say that they "hope we get spanked tonight," and that isn't me trying in anyway to play the super fan card or anything like that.

But it wouldn't have been down to Venkys assuming that any proceeds were available for reinvestment. The owners shouldn't be making those decisions, we can speculate over what happens at other clubs and I don't really care but I do care that we know it happened here and it was piss poor on behalf of Venkys. Loans and frees are obviously the cheapest way of signing players, again we don't know if any loan fee is paid and how much wage contribution is made by us, this season Mowbray said he didn't want loans and that we had to wait until the end of the window because we had to sell the parent clubs a vision of how we would use them as if it was based on finance we wouldn't be given the players. Filling the squad with loans isn't some sort of costly luxury.

And you are like Venkys spokesperson defending their honour, assuming even when they stop spending that it is only regulations preventing them for some reason. We have nothing to be thankful for to Venkys. You say it was a no win situation for Venkys, it was not a situation that fell under their remit. Had they given the manager autonomy to choose what he did, then it would be him who is judged based on the success or failure of any replacements. I want Mowbray sacked just like you, but when something illogical is done which includes owners overruling a manager in place to make footballing decisions, then surely the criticism goes towards the owners for doing that rather than the manager for mentioning that to the press.

And Vydra is Czech.

The problem is owner interference, what is said afterwards is not important in comparison.

I have a feeling that he will go to India and come back with a new deal due to our negligent owners.

A lot of understandable frustration towards Mowbray but for me todays quotes are frustrating in relation again to how the club is run. A total vacuum of leadership and clarity from the top. He said that Markanday has only been able to do one full training session, I doubt Mowbray's future is affecting Markanday's lack of involvement.

The issue was not with Mowbray not keeping it in house, there is no way whatsoever that the owners should be overruling the manager and interfering over decisions relating to the playing squad.

Is it professional? May well be the case but im sure I read that when he came over he would have to adjust to full time. Doesnt explain the Johnson inclusion either.

Brown and Johnson 😂 Brown has never played professional football and Johnson is ready for the scrap yard.

Point is that the owners do have to take some blame as that is not a sufficient budget considering where we were and the money received earlier in the season.

Aside from Markanday, he spent 200k.

I thought he meant Rothwell.

Would Everton be able to afford him assuming they go down?

But would his previous spell at Burnley affect you if he did join?

We wont get any money for him and I cant see much if any money being available to replace him in the summer. He should have been sold in January and would have been was it not for our terrible, interfering owners. He clearly has not wanted to be here since. Plus he seemingly is attracting randomers claiming to be family members telling our fans on public transport fake rumours!

Did he? He has always been very technically limited and has never really been one to pick a pass, never much more than a spoiler. Whether he has really improved is a fair question and I would suggest probably not much really, but I don't think hes lost anything to his game.

You've said before that you don't want Dyche because he is "a dingle." To me thats beyond petty but each to their own. Would you welcome Pope, Tarkowski or Cornet out of interest?

Very true, he certainly isn't a player that you'd want in the trenches with you and not one that I am particularly bothered about leaving, albeit we won't replace him properly. Should have been sold in January and would have been if it wasn't for meddling owners.

There's no way that it can be argued that Mowbray hasn't noticeably improved Brereton. He also brought through Travis and he certainly hasn't got worse. Rothwell has also had his best season this season.

Based on?

But £300 would likely increase the quantity, so it is a fine balance. Might be in a different thread but we are one of the very highest in the league in regards to cheapest available season ticket, considering that Blackburn is not the most affluent area, that isn't acceptable nor is it constructive.

£399 is definitely too much, £300 seems more realistic.

Lenihan at right back? Dolan as a number 10? No thanks. Hedges has to start for me, deserves a shot.

Horrendous pricing, out of touch.
