When are people going to realise that these horrible men have taken our club to horrible levels ? 

They have constantly displayed utter contempt for our club, our history ..and they leave us ( some in shock, but not me ) with this embarrassing collection of bodies about to pull on our shirt…

Surely the time has come for supporter action. I marched against Venkys, I challenged Singh, I hammered Kean from the terraces , I withdrew my season ticket after 35 years ….surely the time has come to completely boycott all things Rovers …the exit of these charlatans has to be hastened…they have no integrity, no concern for our dying club….for God’s sake can we done together AND ACT 

 

i agree with you but it`s pointless protesting  because there are an awful lot of sheep who think mowbray is doing a fine job and a lot of fans who`ve also had the ambition sucked out of them,they think this is the new normal,terribly sad

The lack of a centre forward signing, coupled with all these loans has drained my early season enthusiasm already. Edun aside, I wish we hadn’t bothered with any of the signings we have.

My summary too. Not sure our only cash buy should be another left back but it was a position we needed coved in, he covers a number of positions and seems highly rated so all in all a good addition on paper. 

The rest? They add numbers but don't seem to offer anything our youngsters don't. It doesn't seem a massive upgrade in experience or quality so I struggle to get excited by any of them. If anything they learn at our expense - the team's and our young players.

Then of course we have kicked the can of problems even further down the line. Smart move that as it's not like we won't have issues next year either. Also we can only have 5 loans so eventually we are going to have (if we haven't already) more wounds than sticking plasters.

Bayes and Sharpe need to earn their corn tomorrow and not just print Tony’s blatant ‘we tried, some of the figures quoted were unbelievable’ bull sh*t.

four minutes to go. Assombalonga anyone ?

[blue_n_white99]

Didn't Mowbray say he had a list of six forwards to replace Armstrong that they were actively pursuing. What a lying fekking turd.

13 players out, 2 x L1 full backs and a few inexperienced loans, after last season's death spiral this sums up the lack of aspiration, ambition and care, absolute shite.

Please someone explain what TM's plan is because it looks like he hasn't got one.

Our transfer strategy seems to be fielding calls from other clubs/agents touting unwanted players around the division.

I can’t believe there wasn’t a current or ex Boro striker that Mowbray couldn’t sort out for a few quid. That’s when you know we’ve got problems signing any bugger.

Whatever happened to Jerimie Aliadiere? Ex Boro…..striker that doesn’t score goals and can play on the wing! 😂

TM should be all over him!

Its not fake news. There were comments from Rovers fans saying they are doing a good job and to trust them. People were also saying top 10 is a good season, may aswell finish 19th, makes no difference what so ever. Its like the ambition of Rovers fans has been sucked out of them.

The meek acceptance of a total lack of ambition is one of the reasons why I can no longer relate to the club.

Been said many a time before, but even in the 80s, when we didn’t have a pot to p*ss in, we still had ambition.

That guy couldn't even score on football manager...

[Hi Mack]

TM and Waggot are simply incompetent. We have a “European scouting network” that is quite frankly pointless. 
 

Every single transfer window is poor and we are usually worse off at the end of it.

We are relying on Gallagher and BBD to score the required goals! WOW

This is working out perfectly to say: "We tried everything we could" - Blackburn Rovers, September 1, 2021

 

Hate to say I told you so. My opinions on this club are strong, pessimistic and entirely accurate. It is all too predictable.

Today we've spent money for the first time all summer, on a left back. Let that sink in.

How does this club put a strategy together for promotion out of this league and execute it? Is it a 15 year plan? 

The board and manager have to go.

[JHRover]

The only things to surprise me today are the number of people who expected us to go and bring in a permanent striker today, and the curveball of then spending a fee on another LB, low down our list of priorities.

I've always believed they were having us on and once again for all the talk there's little action to back it up.

In my opinion, it was always an extremely unrealistic prospect and the people at Rovers knew this from the outset. Mowbray said as much for weeks on end until suddenly performing an about turn and claiming, bizarrely, that there might be some cash but that it would only be available for a CF. More nonsensical comments given we have now spent for the second window running on a LB but nowhere else in the team.  Laughable when you look at the number of outgoings and cash brought in.

All in all a complete failure of a transfer window, overseen by charlatans in Mowbray and Waggott. The sum total of their efforts is to bring in a LB from League 1 and 4 kids on loan. That is an absolute shambles both from a squad strength and business perspective, combined with failure on new contracts leaves us staring down the barrel. Even if we survive in the Championship this season we will reach next summer with no squad, few assets and an impossible task. A disgrace and a dereliction of duty from those running the club in allowing this situation to develop.

All hail the Venkys though, at least they haven't left us like Bolton and Wigan (both of whom have spent more than us this summer). 

The icing on the cake now will be the sneaking out of Mowbray's contract extension. It is bound to happen. Anything other than a relegation battle this season will be portayed as a managerial masterpiece on Mowbray's part, next summer will require another huge rebuild and he will be painted as the best and only man deserving of that opportunity.

He's the perfect manager for these wretched owners. Covers for them, praises them, never moans, gets on with it grateful for a job, will work with whatever rubbish they decide, play the 'leasing players' game and even hoodwink people into believing they are trying to spend but unable to.

Window shuts, curtain comes down once again in what is an underwhelming shit show on the part of Mowbray, maggot and the owners,

One thing about them all, they constantly and consistently let the fans of our club down treating us all without a shred of respect whilst shitting all over the legacy of Jack Walker🤬

[G Somerset Rover]

Ojo’s gone to Millwall on loan.

Mowbray will be fuming he’s missed out on another winger.

So let me get this straight - we had money for a ST to replace Armstrong, didn't replace him and instead signed a LB.

We didn't send any of our youngsters out on loan to actually develop and instead signed other youngsters to block there development?

Whilst they sit in the reserves stagnating in there development.

Am I getting this right? 

Mowbray Waggott and Venus genuinely don't give a shit about this club.

People in that Rovers chat live saying Mowbray and Waggot have done a good job, I could cry. People saying if we finish top 10 give him a new contract WOW.

I said he would *get* a new contract because Venky’s would be happy with that…

[pick32]

Wickam, Sturridge or Carol anyone?

Judged and found seriously wanting and lacking in effort, pride, common sense as well as lying to the fan base!

[booth]

So 30 goal striker out, nothing in.

We all know what usually happens next, when a club doesn’t replace quality players.

Thats fine, I agree with this. Incompetent owners will make bad decisions.
