[Archived] Ffp Embargo

[blueboy3333]

When interviewing for jobs, you always look for someone with a bit of spark, a bit of edge and a 'can do' attitude.

After listening to these two frequently and having personally met them, they would fail my tests miserably.

IMV, both are way out of their depth.

Spot on.

Look how Sam transformed Ince's shambles.

Just get bemused how the Bowyerettes fail to see this.

and how Bowyer transformed Appletons, Bergs and Keans shambles. Different league, same end result. You've just agreed with the points a few of us have made in supporting Bowyer. You are now officially a 'Bowyerette'. Welcome to the club

[Amo]

What about "ye who have never been near Ewood" ?

I don't discriminate.

[thenodrog]

In the first instance re the ACV it was me who wrote and made the entire application.

Well done that man.

We need a quality manager more than ever next season as whoever is in charge will be working with a bottom third squad imo. Bowyer has done OK ish up to now in that we've finished just about where our squad quality deserved but I'm not sure he can provide the attitude needed within the squad to dig deep and grit next season out.

well we sell cairney before june 30th for twice the amount he,s worth and kamys escalator comes to a juddering halt.gestede is worth 10 million,i know it,shaw knows it,venkys know it,rudy knows it.if we sold him yesterday or on the eve of the season it matters not one bit,because FFP is finished,as soon as SHAW shows some balls and takes the football league to court it will be proved that its the worst law passed since jimmy hill pay plan.

i thought kamy was some sort of journo,well he should take over from nixon as the pied piper you lot follow,SHEEP

[K-Hod]

No need to be rude, he's been a good source of information for a long time, and he posts coherently as well....

[yoda]

What if the current incumbents at Ewood have no intetion/no idea how to get the embargo lifted, what is the end game, does it just stay in place for ever ?

If we are sheep, you must be the sheherd on the spec savers advert

[mhead]

Shelfie and the English Court system do not compute -he gets a severe allergy.

On FFP do we want it lifted? The fools have decided to dis-invest.....at least with FFP we have a good excuse to have to slim down.

Even if they were looking to get money out of the club - an embargo seems daft. A club like rovers has, for a long time (before the recent madness) sold it's top players - bought a couple of prospects and put the difference towards subsidising our low attendances.

I think FFP makes it harder for the club to justify moving on Rhodes and Gestede because fans know we can't replace them. I think if Bowyer could trade with some of the return - Gestede would be long gone by now.

Don't recollect Kamy saying that Rudy would be sold prior to the FFP deadline.

Ahahaha. This is a joke post, right? You spent all of last season belittling anyone who dared to suggest we needed better than Bowyer whilst promotion was still a possibility.

Amarillo you seem to have difficulty in accepting opinions that don't fall into line with your own perhaps it's something that will come with age. My point about the manager - any manager - has not altered. Unless you are faced with relegation - as under Iley and Ince - then a manager should be given time to implement changes rather than chopping and changing. Whether you like it or not we are very much back to the pre-Walker era - second tier football and a mountain of debt. Whilst the debt in the 70s was smaller the fact remains that the club in those days was in a perilous position and there was a real possibility of it going under. After relegation in 1966 we spent a quarter of a century outside of the top flight - not through lack of ambition but because of economic circumstances - low income and mounting debt. When, and if, Venkys decide to leave any new owner is going to need very deep pockets to simply maintain the club in its present position never mind trying to return to the heights Jack Walker took us to. The reality of our position is that the coming years are going to be tough - irrespective of who the owners are, irrespective of who the manager is and irrespective of who sits in the boardroom. The mistakes that have been made over the past few years aren't going to be waved away with some magical wand. It's a long hard road ahead and there are no guarantees that we won't fall further at some point but, with respect, I suggest you are deluding yourself if you think that a new manager is suddenly going to solve all our problems at this point.

No it won't solve all of the problems but Bowyer is incapable of solving any of the on the pitch problems due to having no clue about tactics.

[Al]

Oh so we judge people on how they look now do we?

I'd love to hear you attempt an intelligent chat about physics with this guy ...

On the unprovoked attack again zee? Never change do you? For your information provided he was nice to me and didn't want to progress past A level Physics I could hold my own. How about you smart arse?

What chance do I have of not being involved in arguments when I am stalked by a clown like Roverzee

[JBiz]

Al- the consistency is the issue, but how can the manager have no clue about tactics if we have actually performed well at times and won some games?

It's like the comments from elsewhere about style- rewatch Taylor's goal against Swansea, the complete antithesis of hoof ball.

[Parsonblue]

Clearly he had a better grasp of tactics than those managing the 15 clubs that finished beneath us. Room for improvement no question but obviously not as clueless as some would have us believe or there wouldn't be 15 clubs below us!

Come on. How many times have we been one or two up and lost or drawn because of Bowyers negative/wrong tactics.

Nothing clear about it. Probably had more talented players. See above.

So by that logic how did we get 2-0 up? By having good players? Yet conceding is the managers fault? Hardly fair

As parson says, plenty of room for improvement but calling him clueless is too far.

[tomphil]

Despite being a critic I don't think he's a disaster tactically at all as he's proved when under pressure and certain other times he can actually come up with the goods. That's why he's so frustrating but what he does have is a preferred safe and cautious basic style of play which he always reverts back to. It's enough to get us enough points for safety but not enough to get the best out of the players he's had and kick us on, he just isn't bold enough.

His main achiles heal for me is him not putting out the best 11 in the right positions for the job and sticking to it, oh and the subs

You know the answer to that without me spelling it out. We had decent players who attacked and scored. Then mystifyingly they are switched to deep defence. When you do that only one team are going to score, but you knew that didn't you?

Did I say "clueless"? OK let's say "could do better".

did we find out his previous ?

[Baz]

What kind of logic is that?

If Man U had finished 10th and Burnley 11th last season who do you think would be more in line for the sack?

[onlyonejackwalker]

Reality is starting to hit home and more now fully understand our predicament. We have had squads that should and could have done better. There was simply no time to waste when relegated and we have done everything in our power to avoid going up ever since. Plodding along with over promoted coaches nearly ended with a second relegation and has achieved mid-table mediocrity ever since. Despite massive expenditure, squad size and losses. I'm don't claim to be an expert. I personally find it bizarre.

[tomphil]

The thieves tied up all the parachute money in dud signings again to line their pockets and find homes for has beens and never would be's on their agent mates books. They persisted with the biggest dud & crook of the lot in the dugout and the pillocks in Pune got hoodwinked second time around after failing to accept what was obvious first time around. The club is run/coached on all levels by people who's abilities are better suited at this time to be cutting their teeth managing a small league 2 club.

The only bright spark as it stands is actually the playing squad. Sadly they always seem destined to underachieve given the circumstances, even if they don't get ripped apart.

Apart from that bring on the season COYB

There's no law that says I have to accept your opinion, nor you with mine.

Accept is perhaps the wrong word. I would, however, hope that people can respect different opinions without throwing insults around.
