There's some real idiots on there. So idiotic that I'm convinced they're either club plants or Burnley fans.

Beetlejuice another let thicky. Him and reg rover make a good pair 

There's an annoyingly patronising note of faux-grandiosity about the posts from Reg and Beetlejuice over there.

Another day passes by with the immune Mowbray leading us into another game. The silence from the clubs board and CEO is astonishing. The only person we ever hear is from Mowbray himself....talking up what a good job hes doing. 

Cant believe the club is paying Waggot a wage. Literally does nothing.

[Roverall]

Today would seem to be Mercer's day of reckoning.

He's been on that long walk since 3 pm yesterday, pounding the moors like Heathcliff, head buzzing from all that 'noise' and 1988 Monticello...

He tries to sell the training ground, to be fair. So he's keeping busy. Useless at sacking managers though. A key function of being CEO. Dysfunctional.

I agree. They actually think they are clever and those who oppose them are thick.

What I find interesting about this article is that two Nobbers spoke up for Neil decrying the notion he had lost the players and yet I've seen nothing (although I don't do the trendy social media sites) from any Rovers player speaking up for Mowbray. One of the Lancashire Live articles mentions an unsubstantiated bust up with Travis.

[Dreams of 1995]

No change until the end of the season imo. We are stuck with him. 

Hopefully we go on a winning spell soon but my fear is that if that happens it gives a clean slate in the summer. You have to wonder how many losses it will take for him to be potted or, perhaps more importantly, how many more losses we can stomach before entering a relegation battle. 

[Bigdoggsteel]

I reckon 4 points will do it. Surely we can manage that 

Surely....

Pretty sure Travis is fit and well.

His missus liking anti Rovers tweets about how it's going downhill.

Someone tweeted that his cousin said he was fit (I haven't found the tweet though)

Hes not going anywhere.

Relegation mission will be full on next season.

As sure as night follows day,the self preservation society of Footballers and Managers close ranks even in the face of complete shitness.

What next...the Soccer Saturday Muppets putting the boot into the evil Rovers fans again?

Wouldn't be surprised i mean how dare we get angry and worried at a run like that. We are only Blackburn Rovers the smallest backwater club in England with the budget of Bamber Bridge Fc.

Should be so grateful to still have the God of midtable football wasting that budget on his mates. 

[lraC]

I can't help thinking back to one of the very few times the owners came out of the woodwork and advised that they were confused.

So am I 

[Bigdoggsteel]

He was pretty sharp when asked why Travis wasn't playing 

He rushed him back lauding he would "kick his granny" to win. Travis came back a shadow of himself. 

I wouldn't be surprised if there was some clash

If there's any ounce of truth in it, Mowbray needs sacking just for that. I'm not having our better players getting sidelined/hounded out of the club due to his piss poor management.

[windymiller7]

Anyone else had a call from the club today?

Just picked up a voicemail from "Les" asking if I'd be back next season & to call him back if I'd any concerns.

That's going to be an interesting discussion when I call him back!

Quote from Mowbray:

When asked about Travis' absence, Mowbray replied: “Not fit, not picked, not selected, not ready yet.”

I can see us getting draws but atm i genuinely can't see us getting a win. 

If we potted him now I think you would get a reaction from the players

God of Midtable? We wish! God of Two Relegations to League One is starting to look more like it.

Raya, Nyambe - He has form on this.

Raya deserved it and I think the Nyambe thing has grown a life of his won. JRC starting ahead of them isn't that controversial. Some of his comments about Nyambe are strange, but by and large he does start him.

How Woodgate and others can say that after one win in 15 ,just shows you can't take them seriously. They are just covering for their mate. Simple as. 

Good description of Mowbray actually, detached, delusionaly detached. 

In football everyone looks after themselves.

It’s entirely possible that Woodgate could be reporting to Mowbray at some point in the future (at least in his). Either assistant manager and manager or manager and DoF.

They never badmouth anyone, and will always keep up appearances.

Even Warnock signed El Hadji Diouf not long after calling him a ‘sewer rat’!

[Richard Oakley]

@Bigdoggsteel You know it's all your fault, don't you? If only you'd agreed with my suggestion of Damien Johnson as caretaker, Mowbray and co would be gone. 

Not really. That would assume someone in Pune read this message board and took note of what is being said. Yeah, I know, fat chance.

We're such a well run club, Woodgate, that we're under a transfer embargo, again.

Speaking of LET, a poster Mumbai Rover got called a "troll". That particular response was to a post that was saying rumour in India has it that Venkys want to sell the club at the end of next season and are just looking to extract what value they can.

It's a mite difficult to sell a club that has negative market value as per the Rovers Trust analysis. Liquidation is a more likely outcome and given the size of Trading creditors, sooner than than later. Only the advance payment of Sky TV revenue staved off administration in 2012 (I think that was the year) and unsubstantiated rumours that the HMRC has come after the club chasing tax payments.

Blackburn Rovers Football and Athletic Limited is not being run as a 'going concern'.

Well its going to happen with Nyambe?

EDIT----Sorry Rover Inverness---just seen your post above. Great minds and all that!

Kevin Gallagher is a prime example, he’s become increasingly critical on Radio Lancs, but when asked outright if TM should go, he, of course, ducked the question.

Why? Because he has links with the club through his soccer schools and the Former Players Association and doesn’t want to rock the boat. Now, he gets potted tomorrow and he’ll be on t’wireless on Saturday saying how it ‘was the right decision by the club because of x, y and z ’.

It rivals public schools for the old boys network.

Nixon just tweeted "Half term cleansing incoming ..."

Is it Mowbray?
