I have rarely ready such nonsense in my life. Are you related to @chaddyrovers?

and don't forget to net off the £20million+ in fees and wages, IMO spunked up the wall on Brerton and Gallagher, or the ridiculous contract extension handed to Mulgrew which must have cost us £1million+ all in otr the totally unnecessary contract extensions for Smallwood and Hart at the end of last season or the cost of Ayala who looks in danger of becoming permanently rooted in the treatment room. I could go on and on and on......................................................

Where do I say that?

So why are we losing on average almost £20million per year?

Sorry but I think you are wrong. I think you could put Mowbray in charge of Man City and he would still make a dog's breakfast of it. IMO, we have a crap CEO and a crap manager. Get those two roles wrong and you are well and truly bollocksed.

I think Mowbray has destroyed Nyambe's confidence. IMO, the lad has been treated with contempt and always seems the target when things go wrong for Mowbray. If Lenihan had not been out of position forcing Nyambe to cover for him and Gallagher understood the role of a wide man (would have dropped back to cover for Nyambe), Cunningham would not have found himself in a different post code to the Rovers' defence. If I was Nyambe's agent, I would be advising him to get as far away from Mowbray as possible. I think Mowbray has form for hanging the younger, easier targets out to dry and also for ruining the confidence of younger players by playing them out of position - Reed, Gallagher, Brereton etc all spring to mind. Please Mowbray, feck off back to Teeside and your beloved drizzle cake. I've had more than enough of what I think is a sh1t show Mowbray's delivered.

FFS, my sh1t day Monday has now got even worse! Beyond belief. IMO, will never make it whilst he's a hole in his arse.

There's a feeling with some fans that after almost four years there, maybe both Neil and PNE need a change and that Neil would jump at an opportunity with Rovers. Surely, Friday's sh1t show and Mowbray's attitude has convinced even you that it's time for a change. FFS, Gallagher at right back has to be a defining moment. See my comments to RoversClitheroe re Neil. At 39, he's still young and hungry and he's proven in recent times he's got what it takes to get a team into the PL. You would think it would be very appealing to the Raos. Wouldn't be my choice but, IMO, would be a HUGE improvement on Mowbray as Neil has shown he can VERY QUICKLY organise a team. For what it's worth, I think Mowbray will be gone soon and even by the end of the month.

It's quite amusing. Relative of mine who told me he thought Neil would be appointed Rovers' manager before end of Jan. is even more convinced that it will happen sooner rather than later - PNE's win on Friday demonstrating Neil can get results quickly (no slow build or evolution for him) despite wholesale changes. He does have good PNE connections and is employed in what is deemed to be a profession of sobriety! He doesn't bullsh1t and when he speaks I tend to listen! Whilst Neil wouldn't be my choice, I think he's miles ahead of Mowbray.

Generally, curries and wine don't match. However, based on your starter and fish based curry (with garlic and chilli), I'd go for an off-dry Riesling which is very slightly sweet. Ask them to recommend a bottle and you should be able to get something decent for ten or twelve quid.

Not as simple. It was chaotic - so many Rovers' players in or around the six yard box. Starting positions were all wrong and I honestly don't think the players knew what they were doing - school boy stuff.

Don't think the players had a clue what they were doing at the corner - disorganised chaos. When defending set pieces, every one of your 11 players should know what their responsibility is. That is basic organisation and coaching. Think Evans / Neil said post match they though Rovers were vulnerable at set pieces.

Thought Whiteman was quietly efficient and, in the main, helped to snuff out Rovers. Was very disciplined and didn't get forward anywhere near as much as he did at Donny - presumably, Neil has mapped out his role, at least when PNE away from home.

and who signs the players, coaches, organises and selects them? The buck stops with the manager - after four years, these are Mowbray's players and it is Mowbray's team.

Think you are right. You get a serious injury like that and have barely kicked a competitive ball on your return and someone offers you a new lucrative two and a half year extension with a one year option then, IMO, it would be utter madness not to sign it. Rovers got stung with the Mulgrew extension and, IMO, the new Dack deal looks ominously premature and expensive.

Never bought this man of integrity stuff about Mowbray. IMO, he's an opportunist and it's all about himself. Never to blame. Think he's shown form for hanging out to dry who he thinks are the easier targets. Personally, I don't trust Mowbray.

It's a funny old game. We could come out and blow PNE away. Waiting for curry to arrive - another wine uncorked. Need some solace.

Shite, shite and more shite. However, Rovers having inordinate amount of luck as seen with penalty again. Rovers' win at 5/1 is ridiculously generous. Given our luck, just stuck £25 on.

Think it's all spin and bullsh1t for India in case we lose!

It is. Think it's symptomatic of an acute lack of nous at Ewood - we saw it with the Mulgrew deal and extended end of season contracts for Hart and Smallwood. IMO, Mowbray and Waggott's financial stewardship leaves much to be desired and if you look at the money, IMO, wasted on Mulgew, Hart, Smallwood etc, we could have had the Ewood pitch replaced with the finest state of art playing surface. IMO, it's just shambolic.

None will be missed!

Echoes what I posted earlier regarding family and friends of mine who follow PNE. They are bricking it. FL should just cancel the fixture and award us the points.................!!!

Oh deary me - you didn't go to the same school as Waggott did you...............!!!

Absolute home banker this one - even 'Tinkerman Tony' couldn't screw this one up. PNE in poor form (and transition) having just one point from their last three games and just one win in their last five games. Know a good few folk who follow PNE (family and friends) and they are bricking it, fearing a real thumping. They look at the likes of Armstrong, Elliott, Dack and even Dolan (with a big point to prove) and can see four or five goals flying in. I'd put every bit of money you could afford to lose on a Rovers' win at evens or slightly better. Fill yer boots.

Hopefully, a bit of clarity. Firstly, the relationship between Venky's London Limited (parent company) and The Blackburn Rovers Football and Athletic Limited (football club) needs to be understood. Venky's London Limited (parent company) issue shares and then make loans to The Blackburn Rovers Football and Athletic Limited. The last accounts for the football club (y.e. June 2019) showed these loans (£127million) under creditors falling due within one year. The accounts also stated the loans were interest free with no fixed date for repayment, however, these loans are repayable. The bottom line is if VLL call in these loans then we are well and truly fecked. Since the football club's last filed accounts (y.e. June 2019), VLL have issued something in the region of a further £35million shares - to provide further loans to the football club. I think it is inevitable there will be a 'tipping point'. The Raos have an asset, which under present circumstances, is worth only a tiny fraction of their almost £200million investment. I feel sure the Raos' realise their only hope of making a substantial recovery on their investment would be if we got promoted to the PL. IMO, this looks an increasingly forlorn hope and as each season goes by without us even threatening to get promoted, I feel their perception will change and we will be getting closer to them deciding enough is enough. Make no mistake, there is no magic money tree. As a finance professional, I think we are up financial sh1t creek without a paddle and our ongoing existence hangs by, what I would consider to be, an increasingly tenuous thread. As Bolton found with Eddie Davis, there comes a time...........................
