  1. 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.
  2. 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 🤣
  3. Shaun Maloney has left Hibs! What odds on Steve K***?
  4. That's not what he's saying Chad's, he's being sarcastic. IE: This rumour this week, that rumour last week.
  5. Does not compute. If accountability is an issue, so is the ownership.
  6. Yeah, I've been using it wrong for years then 😂 FML.
  7. 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.
  8. Does tasty mean something different than 'thing I like' and I'm using it wrong?
  9. Always liked those games, myself. The more relatively local away games, the better.
  10. 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...
  11. DeeCee, change it yourself. Click 'Theme' at the bottom of the page.
  12. 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.
  13. 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.
  14. 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.
  15. I know you think that. But why? He has no record of ever doing well as a coach at ANY level. Why, suddenly, do you think he's fit to coach us? Because he's mates with Johnson? I've had enough 'jobs for my mates' from Mowbray.
  16. Why? There's no basis for that. He has no positive record at any level, even as a coach. Added to the fact: He doesn't want to coach.
  17. From the horse's mouth's assistant and best mate, Dunn doesn't want such a hands on role at any club anymore. His aim is to move into a 'Director of Football' type role, however (and I told him myself) I'm not sure he's earned his stripes for that yet either. Needs to get back in work lower down the pyramid and prove himself.
  18. There's a Clough quote for everything: 'Some think I'm confident, some say arrogant. What's the difference? Cassius Clay is arrogant but we love him because he's bloody good at what he does.'
  19. Complete conjecture, but I wonder if he's been told he's no budget to replace the out of contract players and.kicked off at 'same old same old'? Or possibly he's been asked to take a wage cut?
  20. Hey, Tony. Fuck off. And when you get there, fuck off from there too. Then fuck off some more. Keep fucking off until you get back here. Then fuck off again.
  21. I love that one of the fans most up Mowbray's arse is that bloke who tried to set up FC Rovers of Blackburn in 2012. Hypocrites.
  22. Summerslam coming to Cardiff! What a shame that it's when I'm as uninterested in WWE as I have been in years. They have all the component parts, just no creative to tie it all together. For me, the beauty of 2000-2007 (ish) was that stars were booked up and down the card as if they COULD be main eventers.
  23. Completely disagree. Bask in his glory.
