Fleck over Garrett and we have ourselves a serious relegation battling side 

How about playing 11 lads from the fox and hounds, they can't do much worse under jdt at the moment.

I just can’t believe with the money crisis we have, the way waggott operates picking low hanging fruit and tv companies making documentaries left right and centre these two worlds haven’t combined yet

If he hangs around much longer we will be playing league 1 football. His tactics and formations don't work with this Blackburn Rovers team, and he's to stubborn to change them. The facts are plain to see, we started off beating the likes of W.B.A. and Watford and lying in 7th place just outside the top 6, were now 5pts off the drop zone losing to the likes of q.p.r. and company.

Wow! Yeah that's the problem. 

The 'club' doesn't stop at the touchline you know?

[SIMON GARNERS 194]

Anyone else getting repeat e-mails from Rovers about getting your tickets for Stoke?

Looks like sales are well down but after the Circus of the last fortnight 13 years no bloody wonder.

[Mattyblue]

When you have a pitiful 9k ST holders you need a good number of walk ons to make any kind of respectable gate - and how many are buying a match day ticket at £25-£30 for a fourth Ewood game in a row when we haven’t won a Saturday home game since October?

[arbitro]

With no official word yet that Tomasson has gone I wonder what today's training will consist of. The day before a game is when the starting eleven works on shape and tactics for the following days match. This is usually decided upon by the manager having watched clips of the opponents and read scouting reports. It is seen as the most important session of the week and given the magnitude of tomorrow's game it certainly is for us. I really fear that we will be under prepared and Stoke will look to take advantage of the absolute disarray of this week. 

It's staggering how Tomasson has still not officially been relieved of his duties and another manager in situ to prepare the team. With another but game on Tuesday this delay could really cost us.

Have always thought this, how have Netflix not looked into it?! Would be fascinating/shocking viewing and seriously good publicity for our plight and a future sale...

[JHRover]

It just sums up the contempt the owners have for the club and its fortunes. 

A blind man could see Tomasson was going last Saturday, yet here we are almost a week on and nothing.

I can only assume that they either can't be arsed giving it their approval or they are squabbling over compensation.

Meanwhile this sorry state of affairs the day before a crucial game.

Another finger up at the club and its league status.

If correct that Eustace or another waiting to take over it isn't helping their job to keep them waiting all week until too late to prepare for the Stoke game.

Fly people over from America and muck them around before sinking their transfer, can't even get rid of a manager in a timely manner.

Just a despicable club.

 

[Mattyblue]

*Despicable people running/owning the club, Blackburn Rovers is the victim of all this.

[JHRover]

Indeed, but unfortunately whilst owned and managed by such people it is the club that obtains the reputation and the damage that comes with it.

[Mattyblue]

It does, but this is not a despicable football club. 

Steve Waggott and these owners are despicable but they are just temporary administrators of it, just like Oyston, like your man at Reading, Anderson at Bolton and so on and so on. We are the club and we will prevail (just fuck knows when)

Exactly. It's our club, not theirs.

Gallagher out tomorrow ..allegedly picked up an earache injury at the end of the QPR game due to incessant crowd booing ..

[tomphil]

We'll lose this tomorrow whoever is in the dugout too many players are hiding and not stepping up to the mess they have got us into.

Some of the words at the non secret meeting confirm this the captain is flailing around for excuses and looking to blame the atmosphere.

I'm sort of expecting a managerial out and in today plus a reinforcement of the "atmosphere" line by a senior player, the loanees did their task yesterday.

Waggott was due to sign JDT exit terms but pushed shred instead?

Wouldn’t it be revolutionary if the players came out smelling blood and won 4-0. Then all pull up their shirts at the end and underneath it says “This was for the fans. “

Own it lads. You are the badge on the park.

new manager bounce, we might just win

[Ghost7]

I think we're the only club around where "new manager bounce" doesn't apply. I'm not sure many new managers come about the way ours do...

Some match preparation this.

I highly suspect we won't have one in time to take charge. My prediction is Eustace will finally be announced but it'll be Lowe/Johnson.

We're losing. No two ways about it.

The captain is soft. He's not a leader.

[arbitro]

I have just heard it's Johnson and Lowe in charge tomorrow and that the were called in yesterday to inform them of this. Oh yes and Tomasson is still technically the manager because he has neither resigned or been sacked.

The circus rolls on and on.

Edit: Sky have just confirmed Tomasson has now gone.
