John Eustace - our head coach
Mercer replied to chaddyrovers's topic in Blackburn Rovers Fans Messageboard
Think Rovers will be saved by the ineptitude of other teams rather than no win in 9 or 10 (lost count now) Eusless. My relegated 3 - Rotherham (now gone), Huddersfield (strange managerial appointment, Breiten... seems lost and little impact) and Brum (now in freefall with Venus clueless). Think next season we will go down - next few months going to be torrid with, IMO, the club riddled with uncertainty, poor managers from top to bottom and too many 'snout in the troughers'. -
v Middlesbrough (a) - 16/3/24
Mercer replied to chaddyrovers's topic in Blackburn Rovers Fans Messageboard
A good and unexpected point today - not sure it will be enough to compensate for those squandered in recent winnable games. There will be twists and turns to come. Ipswich next up on Good Friday and they are in cracking form, scoring goals for fun. Let's see how the purported Eustace defensive solidarity holds up then! -
Venky’s, HMRC…The Plot Thickens ?

Notwithstanding the court's decision/ruling in August, there will probably be enough available money from Wharton's sale, Raya's move to Arsenal (and our cut of that) and the sale of SS, and Carter, Travis etc, if need be, to get Rovers through the next 16 months. Sadly, I think our owners and CEO will be unchanged 12 months down the line from now. IMO, we are a club hopelessly drifting along in a sea of shyte, and, at some point, the contamination will become too severe and that will be the end of Rovers. -

Does keep Brum below us but after Rotherham it's still 2 from 7 - a win for Brum tonight would have made Boro easier opponents on Saturday but tonight's win for Boro gives them a realistic play-off chance and they will therefore be all fired-up against us; it was never about catching Boro. -

Mercer replied to chaddyrovers's topic in Blackburn Rovers Fans Messageboard
Worst possible result for Rovers tonight. Boro on a bit of a roll and in striking distance of play-offs. Always a team that comes from nowhere. Confidence and momentum everything in this league - we are polar opposites and spiralling downwards. Boro by 3 or 4 goals to 1. -
Sam Szmodics-Your thoughts?
Mercer replied to BRFC4EVA's topic in Blackburn Rovers Fans Messageboard
If we manage to say up, it will almost be entirely down to SS - without him, we'd be done for already. He'll turn 29 this year and if he is to have a crack at the PL it's going to be this summer or never. The lad deserves a far better stage than we can offer. Sadly, our owners will see his fee as another 6 to 12 months where they don't need to input any money. With the Wharton money, the Raya money and the SS fee, we'll be saddled with these, IMO, imbecilic and moronic owners for at least another 2 seasons after this. -

The wisdom of the prudent is to give thought to their ways, but the folly of fools is their deception. -

Even Kean and Coyle won games!!! Atm, after 8 games in charge, Eusless has a win % of ZERO - let that sink in. I am struggling to think of any newly appointed Rovers' manager who after 8 games had yet to record a win. I think we've appointed a dud and the mood music ain't good. Think you need to wake up and smell the coffee. -

The only embarrassment atm is Eusless. Think it's quite clear why Brum got rid of him - IMO, a man without tactical nous and zero charisma who creates a holiday camp atmosphere for the players (far too pally, pally). I've seen enough already and think he will turn out to be one of our worse managers of the last 60 years or so ranking alongside Iley, Kean, Ince and Coyle (worse 4 managers I can recall off the top of my head). Don't mention Rooney - an absolute disaster at Brum. My prediction - we wont get to 50 points and will get relegated. What's your prediction - how many points will we get and will we stay up? If we are relegated would you keep Eusless? -

No, no, no. The record of Eusless is 7 very, very winnable games, NO WINS and a measly 5 points. Think he's a man out of his depth. Speaks in cliches allied to copious amounts of bullsh1t. Today showed, IMO, he's tactically useless. Carry on like this and we'll think Coyle was Pep. We are in the deepest shyte possible. Bold action needed - sack him and let Johnson continue with the work he started against Stoke!!! Harris has 3 wins and 1 draw in 4 matches since returning to Millwall. That's a new manager bounce - a guy who can motivate and organise his players. Eusless is too pally, pally - you can see this in interviews the way he refers to players. I bet the players love him!!! Like a feckin holiday camp IMO. -

Football is a funny old game! Stuck £10 in play on Rovers' win at 9/1. Not over until the fat lady sings. -

We all have different views! Yep 'Beamo' missed a lot but he never went 'missing in action', continuing to get in the right areas. Hickman wasn't a great footballer, we know that, but my goodness, he had the heart of a lion, an aggression, a physicality and a presence that the opposition didn't like - a Travis on steroids!!!!!!!!!!!!! Gally is a pussycat in comparison and as a minimum needs to put himself about a lot more. As for comparing Gally to the Don - you have to be joking. Don Martin was one of the classiest footballers Rovers had in that era. Looked equally at home as a c/h, c/f or midfielder. Convinced he would have played in Div 1 but for that horrible ankle break which took its toll. -

They would all get in!!!: Jones - goalie supreme Heaton - tenacious, terrier like and led by example - would give Brittain the shits one on one Hawkins - Mr dependable, great organiser Faz - very, very good at level of old Divisions 2 & 3 but not quite there for old Div 1 (now PL) Burgin - cool and classy Metcalfe - very good on his day, skillful and tenacious Oates - great athlete who was strong and got around the pitch and weighed in with goals Parkes - you only realised how good he was when he wasn't playing! Beamish - got goals and missed a lot, however, never shirked or hid and got in the right positions to threaten, worth 10 of Gallagher Hickman - tenacity, workrate personified, a physical threat and weighed in with goals Martin - 'the Don', superb classy footballer. Could have played in Division 1 but for that horrible ankle break and was never quite the same That team would get me to Ewood for every home match and many away games. Sadly, IMO, today's bunch is just spineless and mainly 'Eusless' who should be made to watch a video of that epic 1975 encounter against Argyle . -
A couple of friends of mine are the same. Intelligent, and usually sensible, folk who just seem either blinded by all the shenanigans or opt to bury their heads in the sand. We have some humdinging discussions especially when the red has been flowing. Just adds to the despair.

Can you imagine Klopp or Pep ever coming out with a statement like that!? Understand what you mean by trying to take the pressure off the players but in my book, it's just another excuse for the players if they don't win - 'relax, it's okay, the gaffer said it was not a must win'. This, IMO, shower of shyte group of players masquerading as footballers need a huge rude awakening Fergie / Souey style.
