Mowbray & Waggot out? YAA or NAA
Mike E replied to Armchair supporter supremo's topic in Blackburn Rovers Fans Messageboard
Lasarte et Labore! -
I wish I could find it, but I remember reading stats on this and there was a significant drop at 25-35, then marginally less of a drop for younger fans.

Attendances: A cause for concern
Mike E replied to SIMON GARNERS 194's topic in Blackburn Rovers Fans Messageboard
For reference 23 home games X £20 = £460. So cost compared to STs certainly isn't justified. Better yet, if we identified ourselves as THE Twenty's Plenty team, with the odd cheaper game and sensible ST pricing (£250 max), I bet we'd be back to 20k+ crowds in no time. -

Yes. Apparently means 'as far as I know'. I.e: 'As far as I know, he has a back issue'. Blue Blood put it better than me but you blocked him long ago for talking sense. -

Do ST holders really care? I never did, would rather have a full Ewood. As long as it isn't cheaper than a ST, I'd see no issue -

Yes I know. That's why I said it. -
Premier League season 21/22

Chaddy stop pretending everything Is some sort of moral crusade. I respect everyone's right to have an opinion. That does not mean I have to respect the opinion itself. I respect any opinion that holds up to scrutiny. An opinion that Dyche wouldn't be a suitable manager for us is not one of those opinions. -
Might finally get round to playing FM20...

Josh Maja, formerly of Sunderland, currently Bordeaux I think. About 23/24, looks like a decent gamble to make albeit apparently has a back issue. -

Yes, because it's a stupid thing to not want a manager who (on a shoestring) got his club promoted (twice) and has since kept them up. He has a record that stands up with the likes of Allardyce for staying up. -

I'm sure there was something about Armstrong's sale contributing to THIS season's FFP (training ground sale to LAST season's FFP). If I understand correctly, that means that next summer we'll be able to spend the full £20m or whatever on transfers? -

If it's untrue, then our fanbase are idiots. -
Feeling far too nostalgic, but Hughes, Bowen, Niedzwiecki, Mimms, Fevre are all available...

Summer transfer window 2021.
Mike E replied to chaddyrovers's topic in Blackburn Rovers Fans Messageboard
Worst thing he could've done is join Utd, when Liverpool and Arsenal not only wanted him but actually needed centre backs! Fergie ruined him by continuing the Keanesque practice of shifting him here there and everywhere. -
Not the first time the club have failed Marketing 101, eh?

I'm going to be blindly optimistic and say any targets we acquire, while initially Mowbray targets) have been okayed by the next manager. I mean, it's not logical, but since when has that stopped Venkys doing anything. -
Ultimately my suspicion too, but makes it even more baffling that they don't seek the PL (or even just well-run-club) profits that would make it so much easier.

Maybe we can convince Villa to give us some money for him -

Cough Rovers Trust Cough 😉 -
The confidence boost from the Chilean dream has made his personality shine through on the pitch. And you can tell he's just enjoying his football more, probably motivated by the fact he can play for Chile rather than demoralised by the fact he was never going to be 'England material'. He's so likeable that I can't help but wish him every success wherever it is and I'll follow his career long after he leaves us.

I have the same issue and I'm the Secretary 😅 I think it's something to do with notification settings but I'm not enough of a Twatter to help in that regard!

If Waggott is there, please learn everything you can from Kenny about what Blackburn Rovers means to fans.

Yes, but at the point Busby stepped back from his Directorship in 1989 (heavily influenced by the death of wife in 1988), they had won nothing. Then came the FA Cup in 1990. That was 4 trophyless seasons with Fergie on the verge of the sack once or twice until Busby's shadow stopped lurking, then suddenly the wheels started turning. I'm certainly not suggesting Fergie needs to die before Utd can succeed properly (a bizarre idea), just to stop exerting influence over the club. -

Remember how Fergie got nowhere until Busby stopped overshadowing him? Same thing applies imo. -
