Yeh, and who floats Nixons boat and fecking wallet. Do you think ten years ago he did 'eleven o'clockers' for fuck all?

Everyone, and I mean EVERY last ROVER, needs to wake the fuck up, smell the coffee and be absolutely determined to see these bastards (not Venkys) off, once and for all!

WE ARE The Rovers!!!

I did with Mark Sumner. After he'd repeatedly tried to ridicule me by calling me a 'bellend' he eventually conceded and agreed to disagree.

I've seen you fighting the good fight Pete, good on you.

To be fair, their insistence on deflecting any blame from Mowbray is bordering on some kind of illness.

I certainly won't.

Season ticket won't be getting renewed if he's here in August. Parents say the same too.

How has this man still got a job

From being a kid that 'stood' on The Blackburn End when confronted by leather trench coated Boltonians and Chelsea clambering out of The Nuttall Street Stand, I'm calling on you all to fight these bastards!!

WATR!!!

He’s quickly changed his tune, from that article...

‘I've always been a 'glass half full' character, which in many cases has blinded me and my immaturity but I'd like to think I have the intelligence to assess a business model that's stalled in a period of stagnation and is teetering on the lubricious slope of decline.’

 

Yet he was waxing lyrical about the structure and stability of the club - in his view largely in place due to the Venky/Mowbray relationship, literally this week in the Sheffield local rag, for example -  through Mowbray there has been a bridge. He has advised Venky’s on things, where investment is needed, and they’ve been happy to take it...a structure was brought in. ”  

 

Article just read like a collection of views from here to be honest put into a single article

[AllRoverAsia]

''It wasn't until a baby fox emerged on the bridge connecting Hillsborough to Parkside Road over the River Don that I suddenly recaptured some sense of feeling, the adorable facial features a welcomed distraction before it scampered off into the darkness of the night.''

And they grow up to be Chicken Chokers so not all bad

Got to say I'm finding it difficult to support a club where the fans happiness is so unimportant. This week showed just how important fans are to the game but at Rovers we haven't been listened to since 2010. It's difficult to take and continue to support financially and with enthusiasm.

Neville's comments about certain owners being imposters is exactly right.

“You never hear from the owners of these clubs” he said - that part really resonated with me and I'm sure it does with many others.

Venky's should be ashamed at how they've estranged so many fans from this great and historical football club.

I realise, and couldn't care less that they've supported us financially, many others could do the same but loyal, hardworking fans take greater joy from much smaller gestures than that. The fans want to be listened to and feel a part of this club.

A manager losing the fans should mean something, it has to. Someone somewhere is not getting that message across and the fans have been failed yet again.

The guy changes with how the wind is blowing. Hes all over SM so knows there's a Wind of Change coming so like Sharpe wants to be seen to be ahead of the curve.

Problem is that as the Vs like to feck our grey matter the WoC is likely to be a contract extension for Total Mess.

So chelsea fans did a protest other day...is it time we had a social distanced one? Will deffo put the fear in the stooges?

Was it ever in doubt? The ONLY club where results don’t matter. The last week has shown that this is now the ONLY club in England where the views of supporters do not matter one iota either - their prerogative, I suppose, but a complete collapse in ST sales and revenues will be the result with a return to the third division most likely.

A shameful spectacle.

I certainly won't be watching while that leach is in charge.

They don't seem to realize they aren't though they are just supporting a manager. A paid employee who's making a mess of his job which is, by normal clubs standards, to get results.

I doubt many of them have been around football more than a decade.

An utter shambles.

As if we want Mowbray in charge of a summer overhaul. His transfer dealings are generally poor and always signs some Boro reject.

There will be no point in allowing fans back in at this rate, no one will want to turn up!

Just noticed this tweet from Bennett.

Laughable how anyone currently connected with Rovers can complain about a lack of consequences to losing!

Right at the bottom, hidden behind this

Was this...

 

Respectful, not a single swear word, and even garnered an equal response (fair play Bennett) but presumably censored because someone with clueless individual (probably an LT commenter) took offence.

Twitter is utterly toxic and the sooner governments and big companies stop treating the poisonous swamp as though it represents public opinion the better.

I see Warnock has just binned a couple, told they are out even before the season ends so he can give youth a go.

Total Mess is on the phone ......

It is just as I feared if Rich's article is correct.  

Venky's are very loyal to people that they trust and they trust Mowbray.  I can see Waggott and Mowbray selling them the utter cobblers narrative that this shambles of a season is due to the Pandemic and them buying it.

I really hope that I am wrong on this and they remove him at the end off the seaon.  If Mowbray is incharge next season then barring some miracle over the summner and complete change in his approach/attitude then  we will be in a relegation battle.

[tomphil]

It's very dangerous letting a manager who knows he's on borrowed time, or is leaving when his contract is up, loose in a summer transfer window.

No telling what damage he might do whilst looking after people and serving other agendas. Typical of this lot though can't even see this is the perfect opportunity for real change.

Besides the first sales pitch to Venkys for this will be 'i need a new contract to convince others to stay'. I doubt one of them outside of the likes of Bennett & Evans really gives a toss if he stays or not. If they've any ambition they certainly shouldn't but if they like their comfort zone i suppose it might appeal.

We've had Mowbrays hamster wheel going round in circles for the past 3 seasons. Now it seems the Venky cycle is set to come around again. The peak of those cycles being a couple of seasons championship stability before the inevitable flip backwards and slide away.

Great, get your tickets bought for the Moggadon relegation show. Possession is 9/10ths of the law, results are just a sideshow.

Are Venkys really so thick? Every other club has had the COVID related issues, in fact the likes of Rotherham have suffered far more.

I think relegation “battle” is being optimistic.

[broadsword]

It really is unbelievable. What an absolute mess. Anyone going to be buying this season's highlights DVD? Because next season will make this one look like 99/2000.

At this point you have to say relegation is nailed on. 

[Blue blood]

Ignoring results for a moment - which very much seems the way things are done at Rovers - it's still stupid he is here. We need TM to do a rebuild because of TM's previous rebuild job. 

I mean on every level that is illogical. You wouldn't go to a mechanic to fix your car, which needs fixing because of what the mechanic did before, you wouldn't use the same builder whose last repairs lasted such a short period of time. The fact we need a rebuild after four years of TM speaks volumes of why he shouldn't be given the rebuild job and what an utterly crap job he has done all round.
