Sure stick to your conspiracy theories and put it on anyone but the manager. He is taking us down to league one and leaving in the summer regardless.

I agree it was also mainly shite last season but we had a lot more luck. JDT dropped Kaminski for Pears for the 2nd half of the season after his injury. JDT didn’t rate Buckley or Travis and sent them away on loan. The squad fundamentally aren’t suited to this style and what’s more it isn’t effective in the championship.

However nice a guy JDT is and we enjoy his exposing of the shit show the club is, he is taking us down. As much as I’d like new owners and execs the only lever we have to try and stop the slump is a change in manager. The longer we leave it the more likely it will be we go down just like with the Coyle situation. He leaves in the summer anyway whether we go down or not. At that point the damage is done.

The same squad finished 7th last year with the only regular difference being Brereton. People need to stop making excuses for the manager, some of you on here are in complete denial about where this ends if they don’t change him.

Aside from the post match circus that was yet another dreadful home performance. Whether McGuire signs or not it won’t matter as we create nothing for him. It’s a team of kids shoe horned into positions and a way of playing they are complete unsuited. I can only guess that the JDT fan boys don’t actually go to Ewood because it’s been complete shite all season. Don’t let the door hit you on the way out Jon.

I don’t care how we go about it today but please just get a win and get us moving up the table. Launch it forward, put the corners in, blacken some eyes, pick up some cards, make QPR know they are in a football match and not a training session. Rovers 3 -1 QPR Gallagher hat trick 😂 (in his dreams)

I wouldn't cry if he was to leave as been unimpressed with the results and performances on the pitch at home all season. We don't have the players for his system and his approach is far too naive and open for the championship. It is a shame that the club won't let him come out and speak the truth about the utter shambolic way its run though. He's gone up in my estimation if that was his plan.

Sorry should have been clearer I’m talking over the last few seasons. Dack, Brereton, Ayala, Rothwell, Lenihan, Kaminski basically anyone with experience and a high wage. We would be lucky to name a first eleven and bench with players we actually own when all these loans and short term deals end.

I know they wont but Waggot or Broughton need to come out and explain exactly what the f is going on. They cant hide from the fact with Raya and Wharton being sold that it’s roughly £25m coming into the club. They can’t hide from the fact we have butchered the squad of experience and saleable assets meaning the wage bill must be massively lower than it was in the last few seasons. What is the plan for £25m and will some or any of it be reinvested? Until that becomes clear they can stick my season ticket up their ass for next year.

Just watched that Wharton interview and it’s clear he didn’t want to go. He even says he wasn’t expecting to go so soon. This is all a fall out from the court case and Venky dodgy dealings catching up with them. The ‘model’ now is letting them own the club without putting their hands in their pocket. The chickens will come home to roost, there is only Szmodic left they can realistically flog for worthwhile money so he will go in the summer. Then all that’s left is bum dossers who we can get £1-2m for if we are lucky.

It’s insane to me that Travis and Wharton have left and we haven’t got anyone in to replace them. People are in denial saying x or y can fill in there as if that’s good enough to get us through the season. The squad is being completely stripped of any quality and replaced by crap loans that are nowhere near good enough and won’t be here in 6 months.

What a shower of shit the club is these days, can we not recall Travis now that Wharton has gone?

Judgment Day - do we want to stay up or go down to league 1

I said we would regret letting Travis go and it’s already looking likely. We are now left with a central midfield of Tronstad and Garrett with anyone else filling in out of their natural position. Also neither have had injuries yet this season which means it’s probably due. Unless Broughton has the most spectacular 24 hours of his career we are totally screwed for the rest of the season.

Watched on tv and enjoyed it, the best we have played for a while. The team look so much better for having Dolan,Gally, JRC and Pears back in. Let’s hope we carry it forward to QpR on Saturday as we are desperate for a home win.

If Wharton does go it feels like we won’t have time to really spend any of it either way. hopefully if it happens he stays on loan till summer. I don’t have much faith that anyone at rovers has deals lined up ready to go for players that cost money. More likely they spent all January lining up potential cheap loans if we got a few quid in.

Every time they do these statements it just raises more questions than gives answers. We were told the funding covered the period up to December last time out. So presumably we can’t pay January or February bills until this court case in March? Yet they seem to make out like they have the money?!?

Hopefully we get news that the India court money has been approved as that at least gives some slim hope of reinvestment. If its been denied then its nothing other than a way to keep us out of admin and I imagine our negotiating position becomes a lot weaker.

So it’s likely the court said no then?

I vaguely remember from the summer that at Preston 1 Adult season ticket entitled them to 2-3 free child/junior tickets so not sure how much that number is inflated and how often the free ones actually attend. Either way its securing future fans of the club so would be all for something similar at rovers.

I think the club are looking at the lowest season ticket sales in a long time this summer. Most around me and the few lads I go on with have been talking about just walking on next season to games we want to see rather than commiting to a season ticket. A combination of price and the poor performance on the pitch this season. Most of us are also irritated by the club rowing back on the ambitions over summer and waggots interview post us all buying our season tickets. £400 to watch what is fast becoming a football academy side is far too much. I've been here before though and if there was to be a big reduction in price plus a home winning streak for the rest of the season (however unlikley) I would probably change my tune.

If they have 7k tickets it will be pretty close as to who has the bigger crowd on the night. Ewood was low on Saturday in terms of actual people and with this being on a Monday night combined with our home form I doubt many will go. Me included.

I think we will go down if they don’t change the manager. He’s out his depth at this level and other managers have us completely worked out. His defensive approach to football is a joke and our record this season is an embarrassment. All of our defensive players have gone backwards in their development under his management. I am utterly bored of watching us. I have never understood the hype around his style and 95% of the time it’s akin to watching a training match. If Szmodic hadn’t worked miracles this season we would probably be bottom 3 already. Ewood has become so quiet on match days I reckon I could have slept through the second half yesterday.

Terrible performance and result, should have lost if they hadn’t fluffed 2 one on ones. I don’t think I have ever been as bored at Ewood in the last 30 years as I have under JDT. The ground is like a morgue and it feels like the club is dying slowly.
