I say it exactly as I see it….And yet, it only ever seems to upset the same group of you. Weird that hey? Like a pack of hyenas rushing to ‘like’ each other’s posts. Always angry, always bitter….relax lads 👍🏼.
-
You think that’s the only negativity he’s had? Wow… like I said, I just hope Ben has had a positive enough experience overall and we can get a few quid for him when the time is right.
-
If you feel that grown men booing teenagers is not shameful then we’re on a different page. Watch the video, he’s just a kid really who ‘we’ made cry because he wasn’t playing well!?
-
I still think we need a change of direction and voice in the dressing room in spite of any potential success that the manager might have upto January. On a separate topic, I watched the Brereton Diaz short film about his rise and I have to say it is amazing. There’s also a sense of shame as a Rovers fan as to how he was judged. The booing of him a year or two ago is probably an all time low for us as a fan base. I hope he’s had a positive enough time with the club to sign an extension and that he continues to develop. The fee we eventually receive from his sale is important to us.

Why are we all getting our knickers in a twist about how ‘unprofessional’ it may or may not have been? It’s of no consequence to us. Surely the information is more important to us as fans to discuss? Ie - who might we replace Lenihan with? What will be the consequence of potentially losing 2 or 3 of the players mentioned this Christmas? How close is Mowbray to leaving?
-
To be clear, he didn’t give any personal information about anyone (numbers etc). He did provide his take on things. No I wouldn’t divulge information about my employees to strangers. But technically supporters of a football club are stakeholders, not strangers. Would I divulge some information as an update to stakeholders, yes I would.
-
Yes, that was me….Yesterday I took a friend (Sheff U fan) as a thank you. To be fair he just came across really straight. I asked some pretty probing questions and he answered them. I wish you had grabbed him too…I wanted to ask more about our plans for next season. As for the unprofessional vs refreshing argument….for me (as a fan) it was refreshing. I’ve found them both really honest when I’ve spoken to them. Waggot yesterday shared his opinions on several of our players and what they could and couldn’t do. Was it unprofessional on his side? I don’t know really….I suppose it’s a matter for him but if he’s saying the same thing to everyone (including those players) then maybe that’s just his way?
-
God knows if what was being said was true. But after the Mowbray bit I specifically asked about the contract situ and that was his answer…as you say, I was just passing it on 👍🏼
-
His words were “Tony was really brave with that team selection and his job on the line”. If I’m honest, I have now spoken to both Mowbray and Waggot on separate occasions and been surprised each time with how open they have been about players and the club etc. It’s actually refreshing. Rev, if I was bothered what anyone on here thought I’d be long gone. I was surprised at his openness as I have been when I’ve spoken to Mowbray in similar situations.
-
I’ve always found him very amenable, knowledgeable and honest in the two or three times I’ve briefly spoken to him. I can see there’s a few getting their knickers in a twist about one of my posts. As I’ve said before, when a set of FACTS irk you so much it’s usually telling you something about yourself more than anyone else….in any case I am surprised so many are bitter about my age? Maybe they all wanna look this youthful 😉🤣🤣🤣✌🏽
-
They were just a set of facts that were relevant, in context of the allegation Gav. If it created an emotion in you then that says more about you than it does about me. 👍🏼
-
Yeah, I’ll hold my hands up, I’m 40yrs old, married, 2 nearly 3 kids, own and run a business which employs 700 people and I made all that up, because I’ve nothing better to do with my time 👍🏼
-
Was raving about Buckley but then everyone in there was raving about him…he outshone every other midfielder on the park today, including Fleck and Norwood!
-
I don’t think SW is either!! 🙈…..though he said the offer to him was “very good”. Said no one would be leaving on a free and we’d be selling any who hadn’t signed.
-
SW said he’d told Lenihan the same. Asked all three if they felt they’d get into Fulham’s team…intimated that none of them would before pointing out that as good as Fulham are in the championship they’ll get hammered in the Prem….says the players (Rothwell & Nyambe) want to sign but the agents are deluded.
-
Had we been beaten, I’m sure of it!
-
No, but I believe he’d have been gone if we’d been hammered today….it’s coming!
-
They’re expecting Rothwell and Nyambe to sign but Lenihan has turned down a BIG offer and thinks he’ll get a Prem club…SW said anyone who hasn’t signed before Xmas will be sold and replacements are lined up plus pre contracts abroad and in Scotland.
-
I spoke with Steve Waggot today after the game. It’s true that TM hasn’t taken any training since the defeat. He’s been in meetings. But he did pick the team - SW said that he was surprised with how attacking it was because “his (TM) job was on the line” Wouldnt be drawn on it any further. But did provide an update on the soon to be out of contract lot….Interesting.
-
It’s horrific what he’s done since the the match. No apologies and bouncing all the criticism off onto others. I just feel that the end is close. Just a gut feeling
-
I think he’s very close to walking…having conversations with staff about it as per the article. Also interesting that he’s not claiming the club to be his….”the players need to show X for their club” etc Dead man walking. No one is telling me anything different. Just a matter of time imo.

I’ve never cared for Venkys. Absent owners don’t work whatever the money spent. They don’t care enough. What I do know is that our absent owners have spent £150m of their own money propping the club up whilst large numbers of supposed ‘supporters’ - people who self proclaim to love the club wont find £20 to buy a ticket for the match. They hide behind the Venky narrative. The job of supporters is to get down to the ground and support the team in good and bad times. Football for fans is like religion or devotion to your kids. It’s endless and enduring in spite of hardship. The saddest thing about Venkys reign is that they’ve shown just how fickle our supporters are. The 9k gates are pitiful and show the world how much we care. As custodians of the club we are the generation who are responsible for taking it forward by going to the game with our children to grow the next wave of Rovers suppprters. Heres a thought…has anyone sat back and thought that some of the lads out of contract don’t want to sign because in reality there’s no soul in the club? Absent owners AND an absent fan base? Who cares at the club? Absolute carnage.

Waggott's interview with media
Paul Mani replied to chaddyrovers's topic in Blackburn Rovers Fans Messageboard
Come on @K-Hod you can’t stop people writing what they know to be true just because they can’t divulge the full information (yet). You’re basically pandering to the whim of several fully grown men acting like children and stamping their feet!
