I’m afraid the message they would get is, time to pull the plug and cut their losses. 

We aren’t dealing with people who have any emotional attachment whatsoever to the club. It’s simply a business to them, and a business losing millions, at that. 

When they turn out the lights, I’m sure they will say something like, “we regret to end our relationship with this fine old club, but in light of dwindling attendance and lack of community interest, we had no choice…” 

 

Mission accomplished

Jack was allegedly very upset having to pot Woy as he liked the guy. He'd made a big effort to get him there and he'd backed him to the hilt.

However according to Roy himself Jack said sorry son but i have to do what i feel is right for the club.

That mantra left Ewood permanently about 11 years ago.

Such a shame how far from this level of decision making we are now.

Yep. Who will interview any potential new managers? Waggott and Cheston? The fat Venky?  Do me a favour. The last ten years have been awful but I really feel there is worse to come.

I'm afraid, very afraid, you're right.

This club is on a road to oblivion and nobody is willing or able to do anything about it.

I'll say it. This club disgusts me in its present form. Owners, directors, management - I hold in contempt. The matchday experience and visiting Ewood Park is appalling. There is only one way to turn this around and it starts in India.

THIS.   I agree entirely

11 years of neglect have culminated in the worst result EVER at Ewood.

It's time for action. Venky's out. Let them know what we think.

 

 

Venkys couldn't care less about supporters and what we think. It's a living hell and I cannot see an end to it.

I got 2 minutes in before I got too annoyed to go on. This team doesn't have a soft underbelly? They collapse under pressure with alarming regularity 🤬

Seems to have forgotten this could easily have been the score line against West Brom. If it wasn’t for the fact most of the league is shite we’d be fighting for relegation (and we still might).  3/4 nil move on…7 nil you have to ask yourself if you belong. 

[perthblue02]

Got up angry with myself that I slept through the alarm and missed the game, after reading through 20 odd pages following the match in real BRFCS time, quite happy with my sleepy self although slighty dissapointed i didnt witness a piece of Venky's history making.

Congratulations Madam, Balaji, and Venkatash the overseers of the biggest home defeat in Blackburn Rovers history, you must be so proud. maybe a good time to get one of your minions to write another letter to supporters.

Hang your heads in shame, players, manager, coaching staff, leeches and owners of Blackburn Rovers. Hang your heads in shame.

Southampton or Coventry ...You are right though ...

Southampton.  Remember the game. We were utter shite not as bad as this though 

[Ossydave]

Nothing to really add about that shambles last night. The game was already lost before the red card so the tosser blaming that won't wash with anyone. It was blatantly obvious he didn't even have a plan to try and stay in the game or even one of damage limitation though, the players had no frigging idea what he wanted them to do as he just stood there bemused on the touchline!

Anyone with an ounce of pride would walk after that, of course we know he won't though.

Well Waggott, when you see the (very good imo) offer on Saturday fall flat on its face all thanks to the twat in charge, will you still think he's the man for the job? He's making YOUR job literally impossible. Aside from season ticket holders I doubt a single person in the ground last night will bother again this season now. I was struggling to make it on Saturday as the missus is working, I probably COULD have blagged a babysitter but theres absolutely no chance now, I'll go somewhere enjoyable with the kids, not sit watching the club I love die further in front of me.

Then post match I noticed he went onto blame the players and say they'll have this result on THEIR CV, it was all down to THEM. Well in my role at work I see many CV's and carry out many interviews. One thing I'll always ask is why the candidate wants to leave their current role. It's kinda like asking Rothwell, Nyambe etc why they don't want to sign a new contract, is it any wonder???

I honestly never thought I'd dislike a manager as much as Kean, we're getting very VERY close to that now though.......

[cesus]

Why should I care, by the end of this morning Mowbray will still have a job. Venkys will have been bamboozled by Waggott that Fulham are some footballing version of the Harlem Globetrotters. A smaller but very concerning fact for the club after  that performance is only freebies for schools and guests kept the attendance above 8k. 

Nothing will change as nobody at the club in power cares.

Some in the BBE are as embarrassing as the manager, they deserve each other.

Trying to get TM blue and white army chants going, ripping the piss out of their own team when getting beat, Then chanting Mowbray time to go at the end !

WFT has happened to our fans ?

The fact they've actually called for the manager to go is a significant change at least. Hopefully this convinces some of the happy clappers

One draw and they’ll be back.

This type of comment on the let really winds me up

 

'bit of realism needed tonight I think.
Yes it was a capitulation, yes it was embarrassing, but it was just one game and 3 points.
I've said it before and I'll say it again, sacking the manager now would be more likely to end in tears than glory.
Any new manager would likely want his own backroom staff, meaning the very people who know the youngsters the best will be gone.
This new man would be expected to get this paper thin squad full of academy players,who he doesn't know, better placed than 2 points behind 5th, with no money to spend and probably losing his best forward in January.
So, let's have the conversation, who is going to come in, and will you come on here and hold your hand up if it goes belly up?
Or will you laughingly blame Waggott for appointing the wrong man after hounding out the bloke who has us within 2 points of the play offs?
It's just my opinion, but now isn't the time to sack Mowbray in the hope that superman is going to come in and take Rovers academy into the Premier league.'

[Bad Boy]

Rothwell and Nyambe were a disgrace last night, clearly trying not to get injured for their big moves away.  I would drop them both now as they do not deserve to wear the shirt.

I just saw this elsewhere-

Facebook is awash with plants making comments like that, I say plants because I'm refusing to believe they're real people now such is the delusion. Someone tried passing off last nights result as acceptable because we once got stuffed off Man Utd 7-1 when we were in the prem (I kid you not).

and what happened to the manager after that? Even Venky's acted on that!

Yes, to get ‘their’ own man in… TM already is.

How is he still in charge? Needs to be gone by the time ive had my weetabix.

[arbitro]

Two relegations, shipping seven goals three times, a lost 10000, our lowest ever league position, made dozens of people rich, sold part of Jack's legacy, ground in disrepair and many, many other serious failings.

A promotion from the old Third Division. 

I put this because someone described the last decade as a rollercoaster ride. I have never seen a rollercoaster that just plummets. And the really sad part is that some are still grateful to them.

Not to sound numb but where did you watch the interview?

Sky, after the game. Not sure if they’re showing again on SSN or not, but worth looking at Twitter as well.

[arbitro]

I wasn't really going to criticise the players but that was shocking defending from Van Hecke. His positioning and body shape in the incident are like something you would see at Pleasington on Sunday mornings. A clear red card and three game ban. And Mowbray had the temerity to bemoan the potential lack of defenders for Saturday. 

[Ulrich]

Well that was embarrassing.

[Bigdoggsteel]

Mowbrays interview after the game 

Ya, no threat of him leaving. He was making comments directed to the owners

He didn't apologise to the fans anyway, but he wouldn't even think of that, would he? 

Dovetails with his smart comment before the game that he will be told about it on social media if not having a plan for Mitrovic doesn't work 

That was embarassing stuff. On sky. My mates are texting me since the game ended and we made it onto the Paddy power social media as a joke meme. 

7-0, at home.

Indeed and Carthorse was worse when he came on. He's in the Magloire category. The 2 of them way out of their depth. Ayala is 10 times better that both combined. Lenihan was shite last night too. All wrong from the start

In Mowbrays post match interview the crazy bastard said we started well and were in the game up to the sending off. Obviously no one questioned this. Downing was a bit critical. Look if we were near releagtion and this happened he still wouldn't be fired, let alone if we are close to the play offs

I think he’s talking bollocks too, but had that handball from Johnson’s header been given, at 2-0, with BBD in the form of his life that’s almost a given at 2-1. Could’ve changed the game. We were by no means ‘still in the game’ at that point though, it would’ve got us back in it.

 

I am totally baffled that there’s still people absolving him of any blame & not agreeing that he needs to go. A very long season to come…

I was more highlighting what a bizarre and talentless division this is, when we can be so abject and still be challenging. 

No-one believes we will be anything but mid-table fodder, and although I provocatively dared to suggest we may win on Saturday (in front of 20000 screaming kids), it will take a real exercise in man-management to get us in a position to even compete....

Our points total certainly backs up your argument with regards to the standard of the Championship.

However, you did say we would "dare to dream", if we won on Saturday, which I interpreted as thoughts of promotion.

We will not get promoted to the Premier League under Mowbray, no matter how poor the Division is.
