  1. A Mike Ferguson or an El Hadji Diouf would have destroyed Brittain for good - metaphorically eaten him, chewed him and then spat out the remains. Our, IMO, big mouth and coward of a full back must consider himself most fortunate not to have encountered a Fergie or a Dioufy!
  2. Would be no surprise to me if correct - said for years that Ewood is a nous free zone. The calibre of club employee from top to bottom has, IMO, been dumbed down alarmingly over the years and the results are plain to see. This is operational bollocks. If it was anything to do with me, it would be a basic requirement that all key employees lived permanently within a one hour commute of Ewood Park and if it was not acceptable to that individual then tough and you move on. Over the years, I've done my share of travel and living out of hotels, short term rentals etc whilst working on assignments etc and it's feckin hard work even in the short term but to do it for years (Mowbray, Waggott etc), in my experience, it's bound to impact adversely on job effectiveness.
  3. Jury is out for me. Only had one previous football league managerial appointment (Birmingham) where he was in charge for some 60 games - steady/solid rather than spectacular. For a 44 year old football manager his experience is limited. Hope he proves to be a good appointment but the niggle in mind is that this seems to be a Waggott appointment and my faith in that guy is zero.
  4. Not a chance. Preston have a tough match tonight and barring any injuries or suspensions they incur, I will be lumping big time on Preston at 6/4.
  5. Wishful thinking! IMO, Broughton's recruitment stinks bar the odd exception. Speaking of Broughton, where the feck is our DOF hiding. IMO, Broughton is that bad Rovers may as well make you DOF Chaddy.
  6. My goodness, we could have conceded 5 or 6!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!
  7. If you look at our league form across Dec/Jan/Feb, the last 13 matches have yielded just 8 points! Given we have 15 matches to go and probably need another 15 points to be safe, then I would say the alarm bells are well and truly ringing.
  8. Dire and hopeless. If that is a new manager bounce then we do have major feckin problems. I think relegation this season is now inevitable and PNE on Saturday will rip us apart to win by 3 or 4. When you have, IMO, imbeciles like Brittain in your team then you are doomed. IMO, too many feckin spineless cowards who don't give a sh1t.
  9. Good luck John, think you'll feckin need it. Solid job at Brum but jury out. Hope he doesn't turn out to be a John 'Eusless'.
  10. God help us. IMO, we have the 'three tossers' with Lowe, Benson and Johnson and they need feckin firing. So do I. I think Broughton is weak, inefficient and way out off his depth. IMO, just another with his snout stuck in the gravy trough
  11. Indeed! Rovers now focusing their scouting efforts on Blacksnape and Pleasington.
  12. Chaddy my friend, ultimate responsibility for ALL football matters resides with Broughton. He is DOF and therefore responsible for all football operations including transfers / transactions. If there are breakages in the chain of actions required to complete a transaction then it's his feckin responsibility to fix them. If he doesn't or can't then he should feck off. Simple as. Consecutive January windows where we seem to have fecked up.
  13. GB is DOF and responsible for all football matters. If we can't complete deals responsibility rests with him. It's his feckin job to ensure all the cogs in the wheel are well oiled. It's that simple. IMO, a bullsh1tter well and truly out of his depth.
  14. Watching and listening on holiday far away. Desperate shenanigans and very, very sad. Think we are well and truly fecked. Think last rites soon to be administered.
  15. Away from home with limited WiFi. Can someone please summarise the ins and outs without me having to trawl through 100+ pages.
  16. So it it seems Palace have had encouragement from the Wharton family / agent to make a play for Adam and Gallagher is 'frustrated' with Rovers turning down Ipswich bids. Suggests to me all is far from well in the Ewood dressing room and 'key' players recognise we are going nowhere and want away. When this happens with a Blackburn born and bred lad like Wharton then alarm bells should be ringing.
  17. It's not unusual with big transfer deals for the pursuing club to first sound out a player through his agent to see if a move to them might be of interest otherwise the whole offer / negotiating process is a waste of time should the player not be interested. If this has happened here, and I'd be surprised if it hasn't, the Whartons have seemingly not discouraged which is worrying. As for a Carter move, any news yet when he, or Pickering, will be fit?
  18. I think there will be better opportunities for Wharton. I'd turn round and say 'I've a new long term contract and going nowhere unless it suits me'. What a feckin state we are in when seemingly we are hawking our prize asset(s). No doubt in my mind, the mess we are in is all down to 14 years of gross mismanagement. We need putting out of our misery.
  19. Think Jackson reads this MB and the post embarrassed him into publishing - think a reactive journo with no nose for any type of 'scoop'. I wonder if he's sat down with Waggott yet!?
  20. Not confirmed by 'finger NOT on the pulse' LT's Elliott Jackson, though no surprise there. Where the feck are the experienced signings JDT wants? Scores on the doors, in 3 inexperienced youngsters, out our experienced captain. You couldn't make it up. Danger of building for tomorrow is tomorrow never arrives!
  21. Think Caley is yet another Rovers' employee way out of his depth - IMO, a 'yes' man and a 'jobsworth'. From top to bottom we need forward thinking folk with a 'can do' attitude and not 3rd or 4th raters who are afraid of their own shadows.
  22. Pathetic!?!? Feck me - I hate Venky's which should be as plain as day to any regular member of this MB. All I was trying to point out was getting a new owner, should Venky's decide to walk away and write-off their losses (giving the club away and not an insolvency), might not be as easy as some think as £100millionish would be required to have a real go at it. Sorry if the financials and implications are over your head.
  23. Would beg to differ. Any business without proper funding is likely to fail. 40ish years as an accountant have only served to underline that.
  24. Didn't Broughton say he was out in Manchester ensuring O'Brien got some nosh inside him! Incredible - Broughton should have been at Ewood or Brockhall ensuring all tickety boo as the transfer window rapidly closed in. Feck me, it's not as though there is a shortage of eateries within a 3 mile radius of Brockhall. With Waggott at Brum for the match it was clearly amateur hour all round on a huge scale. This thread is feckin depressing - so we are now after a Belgian nondescript who will probably rival Ennis and Semir in the useless stakes. Broughton and our recruitment team have much, much to answer for. Sack the feckin lot of them.
