You don't need to try and create an argument about everything! Why don't you Join a debating society? . Today's topic : Owen Coyle is a better manager than Neil Warnock - Discuss. Bit harsh, seemed to me he was saying Warnock was the smarter manager, the facts at the end of the season proved he wasn’t. Quote

I watched him play a couple of weeks before lockdown. Absolute garbage! You'd never have thought he was a premier League footballer not too many moons ago. Quote

In my opinion he’s under-rated Evans Whoa, someone needs to set the record straight on Evan's, he's absolute garbage and been stealing a living at the Club during his time here. Yet he has a half decent game every few months or so and some people think he's a decent player. He only looks passable when being carried by a proper player such as Travis and like Bennett he epitomises everything that's wrong about the Club - consistently one of our highest earners yet worst performers. And like Lowe before him we'll never do anything with him in the side. Apart from that he's all right........ 16 Quote

Probably our best player this season,till he got the horrendous injury, still think O’Neil will try to sign him for Stoke. 1 Quote
Butty Posted August 16, 2020 Posted August 16, 2020 Lyle Taylor and Tyler Blackett two decent signings for Forest. May as well just discuss everyone else’s business in here because we aren’t doing f**k all and don’t have a pot to piss in. ? 5 Quote

I've rated Taylor since his wimbledon days, saw him live at Accy one evening. Looked a class apart then and won the game with a classy finish. 2 Quote

bluebruce Posted August 17, 2020 Posted August 17, 2020 (edited) Christ, I was just reading that article about what next for our sponsorship options and a series of thoughts occurred to me. The pre-season match schedule starts on Saturday and we have... No sponsor No shirt No season tickets No signings No senior goalkeeper No budget yet (it appears) It makes you want to add 'no hope' at the end, but it's early for that call. Has to be said though that even by the standards of the last few seasons, and even with the shadow of covid over us, this is particularly precarious. It's been a long time since we had this sort of shambles when the pre-season was getting underway, even under Venkys. Things need to start happening. Edited August 17, 2020 by bluebruce 7 Quote

I doubt he would have won 59 caps for Northern Ireland in an era when they are doing pretty well if he really was "absolute garbage". 6 Quote

I don't think Blackett is decent, he got destroyed by Ben Brereton at Ewood whilst he scored his only goal of the season.. Quote

IoBet decided we were noBet Is the reason that Lancashire Telegraph his the story behind a firewall that someone is too embarrassed to have the story 'out there'? Strange how the local reporters don't ever ask the now ex-sponsors, kit manufacturers, corporate sponsors or any other supplier to Blackburn Rovers how they look upon our club.There's hardly a story about what the Community Trust is doing out in the community.Yes, very strange for owners that make so much of their community outreach.

I keep going on about this but assuming we're not going out of business imminently, I can't for the life of me understand why no effort whatsoever has been made to get supporters on board for next season. Get people signed up on DD for a nominal amount and adjust the figures upwards accordingly when it becomes clear what we can and can't do. As things stand the Government are probably going to make a last minute decision on fans in stadiums and we're going to be left completely high and dry with zero season ticket holders or members and faced with the impossible task of having to sign ST holders up from scratch within a matter of days. It's incompetence of the highest order from Waggott and his team imo. 3 Quote

Not only has Chinese betting industry taken a huge hit, but government there is desperate for their own businesses to invest in the CSL league, and probably imposes strict regulations, taxes and pressures on companies that don't "comply".

Backroom Tom Posted August 17, 2020 Backroom Posted August 17, 2020 Joe Hart signing for Spurs. Not as a player mind you, more of a English box ticking exercise to fill a quota Quote
