With this seemingly imminent, what are thoughts on who or what's happening? Pearce has been mooted as has Steve Walsh (who seems a sensible appointment to me).

Good job we are all married parents with 2 kids too. #wholesomerovers

@darrenrover was this a wind-up or were you being serious?

Agreed. If the ticket was £299 instead of £399 it is actually and also sounds more palatable. I hadn't had a season ticket for 6 years before last season as I deemed my son now old enough to attend regularly. I absolutely loved it even the games I ended up attending alone, but the price with all of life's other increases and trimming back going on feels like a lot to fork out now. I'm on the fence so I really hope what @darrenrover said above comes to fruition...and pronto!

He has added under his other, more high profile pseudonym.

I'm sure Critchley would have a buy-out clause in his contract; I would be certain all but the very top managers would have the same. Would we be willing to pay a fee? Probably not.

Done an amazing job at the lashers. I would happily renew my season ticket based on this appointment.

The notion that the Rao's never refuse to sign things off sounds a little fanciful to me. Why would anyone, including Waggott, not ask for more money if they're ever so happy to do sign cheques? Surely that would mean that there would be no problem in asking? There are HUGE issues at the ground that need addressing and wouldn't fall under FFP. Waggott et al. will be aware of all of these issues and I would assume that the Rao's man on the ground Suhail will be too. You'd have to literally be blind to not see them. I don't doubt at all what you think you know @glen9mullan and I know you aren't one to pass on information or rumours without it coming from a credible source, but it makes zero sense.

Sorry @Mercer this wasn't directed at you or anyone else in particular. I actually enjoy the speculation its just a little reminder that we should all take hearsay with a pinch-of-salt and in reality we all know absolutely zero about what's occurin'.

To summarise the last 10 posts; Nobody knows anything, other than those in the know who know something but won't knowingly say what they know about knowing something.

Hopefully out the door with Waggot then and some extra incentives to get a ST. New manager, new ideas. Slash £100 off a season ticket to get Ewood feeling like it has at points this season. It has been great to see crowds of 18k+ on a few occasions and that should be our target now for every home game. In Glen I trust. Don't let me down, sunshine 😉

If it's Micky Mellon I will literally gouge my eyeballs out

What?

Its an incredible story that they were saved in 1997, and huge kudos to the small number of fans that they survived and retained their club. It still isn't a fairy-tale that they ended up in the PL. A fairy-tale is Leicester winning the PL in 2015 - a team tipped to be relegated defying literally all odds to win a title, or to a lesser extent us winning it in 1995 - fulfilling the dream of a fan who put his own wealth in to bank-rolling success. Would you agree then that Man City becoming European powerhouses and dominating English football is a fairy-tale? After all billionaire owners don't guarantee success...

Not if he costs £3.5m!

I don't think this changes the fact that the club has been bank rolled by some oligarch that has no prior connections to the club, in order to reach the PL.

The 'Bournemouth fairy-tale' is a HUGE misnomer. Money talks.

Bristol City was a disaster too. They were basically baying to be beaten and Dack's penalty miss was another kick in the bollocks. Always amazes me that our main set piece taker (Rothwell) never takes pens...

Don't reckon this will pass. It'll kill club attendances even further

Uninspiring and unimaginative as usual. As others have said I'll be getting one depending on the manager situation. I'd sooner pay £30 more knowing my investment was sound rather than pissing it against the wall if that miserable prick is still manager.

This was excellent. Linz hit so many nails on heads and really summed up a lot of feelings around how we have performed and how the season has somewhat disgracefully petered out.

Glad I read this as the flicking between colour and B&W on here whilst working was in some way hurting my aging eyes 😆

Glen I note here you used the word diagnosis. We don't know each other (and I wouldnt expect you to divulge any information so please don't think this is me fishing) but I wanted to wish you good health and say I do hope it's nothing too serious... and somewhat enviously also praise you for following a dream! Nothing in life is an extravagance if it makes you and others very happy and I'm very guilty of hesitating when it comes to spending money, so it's nice to see something positive on here which is real life rather than the miserable shite we are all discussing at the moment about sport. Peace and love

I posted the above on another thread. I think it still stacks up and is relevant here. The squad as a whole is improved since Mowbray took over (currently; not at seasons end when some are likely to walk for nothing), and getting the squad in to the top 6 would be an achievement that would rightly, IMHO, be lauded. However; top 6 isn't going to happen now. Despite being a season ticket holder I swerved going yesterday and instead spent the day painting my new kitchen and some time with the kids. The current death spiral is nothing short of an absolute disgrace. Last seasons was horrific enough but the current one is nothing short of criminal. We should EASILY be in the playoffs now. I make it an easy 21 points we should be better off then we currently are after the last 2 defeats. If we had a competent board in place, Anthony would be out the door this morning and should have been out the door this time last year in reality. I'm also not even angry now. I'm just genuinely sad. The first time in over a decade it felt something could genuinely be achieved. It was palpable, in our grasp and it felt like everyone was pulling in the same direction. Now its just the same shite again. I certainly won't be investing in a season ticket next year if Mowbray is the manager and I hope the club are reading these comments as a great deal others have said exactly the same.

At least I don't need to go Monday now and can get some painting done. Pricks.
