There's no point talking about it, Farke's not coming here.

Not Grayson. Please not fucking Grayson.

Personally I'd go with (all areas). £299 Adults £199 Seniors/18-23/Adults in full-time education. £149 Juniors (includes free replica shirt).

Farke won't be coming here. End of.

Overrated quality. The only person we've ever hired with previous football CEO experience is Waggott. Our best CEO this century had no experience at all in football.

I'd play the pair of them in midfield, a la Savage and Tugay.

Hope Buckley was taking notes on Thiago's performance last night.

Agreed. For all the hopeful noises, they're ONLY hopeful. Venkys' record speaks for itself and cannot inspire confidence.

One thing I can say with some confidence, although I probably need to put 'allegedly': Venus is apparently already actively looking for work elsewhere AND without Mowbray. With another (albeit not confirmable) tidbit from the same source, I'm more confident than ever that none of Mowbray, Venus, Park, Lowe (possibly Benson) will be at Ewood next season. This source is under the impression that 'reset' similar to Lambert's appointment is on the cards, albeit he won't say any names. He HAS touted Ainsworth repeatedly in the past so I'm personally choosing to put 2+2 together on that. Edit: rigger's post above is one to keep an eye on.

1. Definitely, if only to try and keep it affordable. 2. There was a clause involved because of the contract length that some of it be guaranteed (wasn't it a seven year contract or something daft?) 3. Because it's not THAT unrealistic. Weirder things have happened in football, and weirder things have happened to Rovers. It's Dyche not bloody Mourinho.

It's not up to them when they pay it, it's up to Dyche. Pardew was still being paid by Newcastle after he was sacked at Palace. And I know he's not coming. We all do. No need to keep reminding us every time just because someone hypothetically suggested it.

On the Dyche rumours (which I don't believe), money is irrelevant tbh. He has 3.5yrs of pay coming his way, up to £15m. We could pay him £1m/year and promise him PL bonuses and he'd effectively be topped up by Dingle pay for 3 years. It's almost worth hiring him for that alone 🤣

Shaun Maloney has left Hibs! What odds on Steve K***?

That's not what he's saying Chad's, he's being sarcastic. IE: This rumour this week, that rumour last week.

Does not compute. If accountability is an issue, so is the ownership.

Yeah, I've been using it wrong for years then 😂 FML.

Mowbray had a dream He changed the football team We have tall strikers but he played them on the wing And at his expense Stuck Dack on the bench We’re Blackburn rovers We’re finishing tenth.

Does tasty mean something different than 'thing I like' and I'm using it wrong?

Always liked those games, myself. The more relatively local away games, the better.

For fun, I'm going to throw some names of ex-managers at big clubs who we might be able to get in. Googling lists of these, rather than through knowledge: Ex-Utd: Solksjaer Ex-City: Pellegrini (he's Chilean), Hughesy, Pearce, Sven. Ex-Liverpool: Benitez, Souness, Hodgson, King Kenny. Ex-Chelsea: Benitez, DiMatteo, Villas-Boas, Scolari, Grant. Ex-Spurs: Ramos, Jol, Santo, Mason, Sherwood, Villas-Boas. Ex-Barca: Koeman, Setien, Valverde. Ex-Real: Benitez, Pellegrini, Ramos, Schuster. Ex-Juve: None Ex-Milan: Giampaolo, Gattuso, Montella, Brocchi, Inzaghi, Mihajlovic, Seedorf. Ex-Inter: Spaletti, Vecchi. I thought it'd be therapeutic but no...

DeeCee, change it yourself. Click 'Theme' at the bottom of the page.

Starting to genuinely look forward to more tasty games next season: Burnley, Preston, Blackpool, Wigan, Stoke. Not that it would ever happen, but fate could even add Bolton, Accy, Morecambe, Fleetwood, or Crewe to that the following year. My favourite season (can't remember exactly) was in the PL when there were 9 NorthWest teams: Mancs x2, Liverpool x2, Rovers, Bolton, Burnley, Wigan, Stoke.

Only when London Bridge is down.

I can cope with losing. I can cope with blowing a chance at promotion. I can cope with going from 2nd to 8th in 10 weeks. I can cope with 2 wins in the last 15. I can't cope with the manager and players not giving a shit about any of it, and by extension any of us. That halved shirt with a red rose on it means something to all of us and it deserves better than that spineless crap.

It worked well for us with Allardyce and MacDonald too, with Sam only coming down to the touchline when he needed to put a rocket up someone.
