Rovers have got today's match day prices all wrong again. 

Its should 15 pounds all areas for adults and get fans back today. Its a bank holiday and good day to attract fans in today with the correct pricing policy but charging 25 pounds plus is wrong again. 

Today should be ideal time to get people interested in coming to Ewood Park again. 

TBH Chris I wouldn't go if it was free admission!

I know a number of people who feel exactly the same way.

Personally, I've had enough of Mowbray and, IMO, his managerial shenanigans and I wont be at Ewood again until he's gone.

Neil has had an impact there but they have top 6 squad for surely. 

You were pushing Neil for over 12 months to become Rovers manager but it never happened. Just like when you were telling us all that its 90% cert that Mowbray was going to WBA and you backed it at £50. Another one of your tip that never happened. 

Where on the forum did you tell us all about the Bruce WBA contract break clause? 

Get things right Chris!

Firstly, I did not push for Neil - I merely stated that folk I knew with good PNE connections believed he would become Rovers' manager which I think he nearly did!  Others on here have posted Neil was interviewed by Rovers back in April last year with some saying he turned us down!

As for Bruce and WBA if you have nothing better to do then troll through all the stuff on the subject at the time!

It angers me when people suggest those that still go to Ewood are 'apathetic'.

There's no 'putting the man under pressure'. We've lost 10k off the gates and have protested previous managers (and the owners themselves). 

The owners don't even know we've got a game tomorrow - they literally couldn't give a toss about the club. We're in purgatory. 

Managers and directors get an easy ride at Ewood these days. 

Think you've been around long enough to remember when the crowd knew a manager's time was up and feelings were well and truly vented both in the ground and in Nuttall Street and more often that not, it brought action.  These days I think most supporters just shrug their shoulders in Mowbrayesque fashion.

The supporters get the management team they generally deserve.

We still have an outside chance of a playoff place, we have fans flying in from the other side of the world.

Let this post sink in…,

Don't be such a bloody drama queen.

I think we need a change of manager, and have done so since Mowbray oversaw our relegation to League One, and keep carrying on with Mowbray is akin to continually taking paracetamol for a headache that wont go away and a refusal to go to the doctors only to discover when it's too late that you have a terminal brain tumour.

another one of your prediction that way wide of the mark. Just let your Alex Neil story who still hasn't joining, Allardyce and Rooney going to Burnley despite Rooney committing to Derby. 

The break clause in Bruce was reported last week in the media so no credit for posting that. 

 

Think Neil will do a great job for Sunderland.  Read somewhere he's taken 22 points from his first 11 games in charge.  Would take him any day of the week over Mowbray.  Others have posted on here that Rovers spoke with Neil last April about taking over.......Think You'll find in the fullness of time he came close to taking over from Mowbray.

As for Bruce and break clause, I think you'll find I posted at the time of his appointment he'd be gone if WBA not promoted this season!

I never want Rovers to get beat, and even if I did agree with the above it won't change anything. TM will still have that "oh well" look about him. The owners won't give a toss. Nothing will change.

Things will change when the fans vent their feelings about Mowbray and vote with their feet and cash.

Think the supporters get the club they deserve.  For goodness sake, put the man under pressure.

You also said repeatedly that Alex Neil was imminently about to be appointed. Your track record is laughable.

The number of changes needed isnt comparable to Liverpool because we went into this season only able to bring in a series of loan deals despite bringing in a substantial 8 figure fee for a Mowbray signing, so there would always be 4 holes regardless of manager. You then throw in replacing Brereton which will bring in 8 figures, and the 3 out of contract players, one of whom would have generated a fee and filled 2 of those gaps in January had it not been for Venkys. Venkys will also presumably give little if any of that major sale for reinvestment. So it is unfair to put the upcoming necessary overhaul solely down to the manager. 

Think you live in a fantasy world.

Think Rovers are fecked which is due in no small part, IMO, to the gross mismanagement of Mowbray, Venus and Waggott.

I hope we get spanked - anything to finish, IMO, the turgid tenure of Mowbray and Venus.

Sadly, I expect Rovers to win to raise false hope and prolong the agony.

Book your holidays because I think our season will end on Sat 7 May at Brum if not before.

I’d be surprised if they took him back to be honest Merc. Especially with Dyche available.

Dyche v Mowbray is a no brainer.

Sadly, I think football boardrooms are littered with moronic and vacuous non entities not even capable of running a bath let alone a football club.

What a load of tosh you talk. Mowbray is nowhere near leaving this club in the mess that Coyle and Kean left this club. 

The playing squad will need 8 to 10 signings but I think a freshen up of the playing squad and the management team is exactly what the club after the past 2 years of not achieving at least playoff place. Last season we should have got top 6 given the financial backing Mowbray has and this season we should have got top 6 given we were second in the league after beating Boro at home. Missing out on the top 6 this season is utter and completely unacceptable. 

We need a new manager who will put the fight and passion back into the players and the club for next season. Cos currently I see very little of this from the current squad in recent games. 

Didn't you say Mowbray was joining WBA to replace Ismael in February? 

Tosh!?

IMO, next season will be a success if we stay out of the bottom three - I think that will be Mowbray's legacy.

8 to 10 signings is not evolution or strategic planning, it's either revolution or sheer desperation because you've fecked up so much!

We stand to lose Nyambe, Lenihan, Hecke, Rothwell, Brereton.  Imagine if Liverpool lost Alexander-Arnold, Van Dijk, Konate, Henderson and Salah.  If that's a 'freshen up' then God knows what you are smoking.

I think it will emerge in time how close Mowbray came to joining WBA in Feb.; I think the timing was all wrong and there were too many complications otherwise he wouldn't be here now.  Many said at the time, Bruce had signed an 18 month contract - I think it will become clear there are break clauses and the only way Bruce would stay at WBA is if he got them up this season.  I stand by that and would bet a small fortune on Mowbray rocking up at WBA in only a few weeks' time.

This ‘Wee Coyley mess’? Is that the same Coyley you spent years promoting on here for the managers job?

Your man left us right in the shit, he did a number on the club and it’s fans almost as bad as king rat. Mowbray actually pulled the club out of that shit your mate left us in and put us back on a even keel. 

You may fool some, but you don’t me.

You don't half spout some shite.

Not once did I promote Coyle for the manager's job at Rovers.

Get your facts right before you have a pop at anyone.

Maybe but it's the same for both sides!!!

Think we get our fair rub of the green - Mowbray only vociferous on the ones we lose out on, never says we were a tad lucky there!

Told Big Sam taking on Burnley job to end of season (and will be in stands at West Ham on Sunday) and then Rooney manager next season.

Wouldn't Big Sam just love to rub Venky's face in it by keeping Burnley up!

Rothwell is “ill”

and I'm flying to the moon tonight!

Today we are playing bottom of the league.

There is not a feckin excuse available should we not win.

Dack MUST start and pull him off when we are winning and have the upper hand.

Rovers to win and comfortably to offer us all some hope - sadly, may well be false hope which will just prolong the agony.

Amazed by sacking of Dyche at this stage in season.

Arguably, he'd run his course - 10 years at one club is a long, long time and the place probably needs a new freshness, buzz etc.

Venky's should break the bank to bring in Dyche.

Fact he managed Burnley irrelevant.  Only thing that matters is results.  Just where the feck has Mowbray's 5year+ journey taken us and boy his tactics and football have been utterly turgid at times. 

Sharpe reporting Mowbray's involvement on the Poveda deal:

Mowbray said he wasn’t involved in the deal for Poveda, who scored once in four starts and four substitute appearances in the first half of the season, but the specifics of it were likely agreed to get it over the line.

He added: “I don’t do the deals, the deal was done and the deal is what it is.

“It’s probably frustrating for the football club that we’ve been paying his salary for so long without having the player available.

“That’s a resource, but that’s football and you take those chances.

“You probably wouldn’t have been able to do the deal unless certain clauses were in it and you have to make those calls sometimes.”

IMO, an abdication of responsibility - don't blame me!!!!!!!!!!!!!

Just wtf is Mowbray there for as football manager.  Surely, it's to advise those who do the deals (or seemingly have their pants taken down by other clubs) in terms of a half season's loan, a full season's loan, what the lad will bring to the club and therefore his value to the club and parameters as to remuneration, break clauses etc.  IMO, another example that our football manager is not fit for purpose.

My wife just goes off names as well. We were out in Spain about 10 years ago and she was on the phone to her son back in England who was reading out the National runners. She was looking out of the window at a really dull grey sky. When he got to one called “ Cloudy Sky “ or “ Cloudy day “ she said “ That’ll do, put me a fiver each way on that “.  Of course the bugger won. She only has a bet once a year, on the National.

Women's intuition!

Interestingly though, I think many more women now have a bit more than a passing interest in horse racing due to the charismatic Rachael Blackmore who is, with Grand National / Cheltenham Gold Cup wins and six wins at Cheltenham last year, one remarkable woman.

Indeed.

Think Lenihan is the bigger risk - if that groin hasn't healed properly it's season finished for him.  Think Mowbray has gambled here a bit as he knows our record without Lenihan.

I’m not sure what the point you’re making is but Ayala was one of the first to arrive and has been on the pitch with the squad 

Point I'm trying to make is it should be about togetherness.

Without exception, every single member of the 1st team squad should be at Ewood on match day.

Please Ayala is there.
