What? Are you actually suggesting that Wagner, Bilic or even Ismael wouldn’t be as exciting as what we have? We pulled Tony Mowbray out from League 1 Coventry!!!

Or go out and get a manager worthy of our club that could actually progress us? I’m firmly in the Mowbray out camp and have been for a while now, but suggestions of Sherwood and Lennon are the exact reason people would rather stick as we are. No imagination, big salaries and regression.

Have you been asleep for the last 25 years?

Corry Evans is going to get a full 90mins here

The defence is just frustratingly bad. Mowbray needs potting for that alone. Everyone could see that the defence needed strengthening for this season, and CB in particular. He can cry about injuries all he wants but he had January to fix it too, and now we have two teenage loanees looking lost at the back.

Hilarious isn’t it. Would bet most of my balance that the clown hasn’t seen him play once.

I thought facilities weren’t a factor in FFP? Sure that’s been stated before when talking about the Riverside.

Still hard to get my head around the fact we were sold for £23m (£45m or so with debt) all things considered. We sold Phil Jones for £16m a year or so later didn’t we. (Albeit finances from 10 years ago)

That Mowbray comment (and countless others) really got on my goat. What exactly do we do in training that requires the farm at ewood over our current (superb) facilities? The man is a lunatic, or is he (disclaimer: speculation) involved in this whole shitshow and therefore getting a point across to owners/fans that our facilities ‘aren’t good enough’ and the answer is clear and obvious...we have to sell half of it for a housing estate and half our total land/facilities/pitches and potentially lose our catA academy, that is surely the only answer to avoid training on the ewood bog, you know we don’t have state of the art indoor facilities ALREADY! Somehow fans are lapping this up as “shrewd”. Absolute boot lickers. Almost split my sides laughing at the ‘everyone on the same site’ justification. You could throw a bloody stone between the two. We are literally cost cutting here. Losing half our land and half of our facilities. Best laugh I had on here since a few months ago when someone argued to me that £300k was a justified salary for our CEO EDIT: laugh isn’t the right word actually as this whole situation actually angers and upsets me.

First game in a long time I’ve not watched. Went for a walk and came back at HT. Did keep an eye on this board for updates in the 2nd half and it sounded bleak. After the news last night / this morning I just didn’t have the stomach to watch it. Looking over our shoulders now. 4 losses to PNE, QPR, Forest and Barnsley. All were below is in the table at the time. We have 4 of the top 6 in the next 6 games.

It’s started.... There’s also a “we wouldn’t have a club without them” in there

I’m a bit ashamed myself I didn’t know this background on Venus. That absolutely stinks to the high heavens. Mirror image of Coventry and links to property developers. The Coventry article from earlier is so bizarre, he was caretaker manager but was pitching the business decision to develop houses himself. What the F? Manager hires his own boss (CEO), unsackable, win over the trust of owners, go about whatever business the hell you want. This has all hit me a bit this morning, reminiscent of Kean writing his own contract, or back when Williams, Finn etc all left. So much care went into the development of this club and now we see everyone still have their noses in the troughs.

I went over to Facebook to take a look....I’m really regretting it

Agree - the best option in my opinion.

Tony Mowbray: ”We are the team we are, with total respect to Blackburn Rovers, we haven’t been tearing it up in the Premier League for a long time." Quoted following consecutive defeats to Barnsley, QPR and PNE. It’s essentially Mowbray admitting he’s failing. Yes, we haven’t been tearing it up in the premier league for a long time, every fan knows that, but we’ve just lost 3 on the bounce in the Championship and we’re sat mid-table so he isn’t exactly ‘tearing it up’ in the Championship either. (we’ve spent all but 6 seasons in our history in the top 2 tiers so where exactly does he think we should be tearing it up?). You can count the number of seasons we’ve spent in the 3rd tier on one dingle hand.

What are you talking about? My point is Mowbray is saying we’re not premier league quality as if to justify these results but we’ve just lost to 3 teams who are mid-table Championship plodders at best.

The thing the irks me the most about that “we’ve not been premier league for a long time” comment is we’ve just lost to QPR, PNE and Barnsley....when was the last time the 3 of them were premier league? We don’t even look like a decent Championship side despite having 3 alleged future prem stars and a £12m strike force!

Should have been the exact follow up comment/question from the reporter!

They’re only 6 points behind us 😂

The 2 managers are worlds apart. What even is Mowbrays motivation now. Where is he actually taking us. Ismael is screaming at his players all the way through. Played for big clubs, good managerial record and a progressive appointment by Barnsley. All credit to them. Not a chance we see anything like that with Waggot overseeing orders here. Imagine your pal from previous jobs is your manager with nobody to answer to. Mental. So many fans lap it up because of ‘stability’ ‘Kean’ etc.

I think the City lad looks lost out there. Maybe I’m being a harsh judge but looks worlds apart from when we had Tosin.

Go 1-0 down and turn to Correy Evans. Confirmed troll.

Bloody right back (Tony doesn’t name them anymore) letting us down again there. He’s lost the players, which was probably one of the only things going his way...oh and that he’s not Kean/Coyle etc.

When we spanked Wycombe and Derby 5-0 and 4-0 back to back in September I really didn’t think I’d see us line up with Downing and Bennett playing a 352 this season! Wont believe Gallagher is playing as a central striker until I see it.

He’s just trolling us now isn’t he?
