Great goal that one.

Funny how the club pressers omit any word of him leaving or being his last game. Are they written by TASS ?

This pre match pearl from Tony made me laugh. He still doesn't look at the table apparently so how does he know we aren't second? Or are we? “Birmingham City, I don’t know where they are in the league table, but it feels as if they should be higher than they are for the quality of players they have."

I was just looking at the sky bet list. There are no foreign managers in there. Not one. Yes a few foreigners who are already established managers in England e.g. Farke. But no foreign upcoming managers as Farke once was. Nobody from that unimaginative list.

Until that changes or we become one.

If this question was posed in the 80s not a single person would say Rovers could win the league title. We are Rovers. Biggest town club there is. Proudest history there is. Long list of potential buyers when we become available. We will win the league title again. 100%

The commentators last night were salivating over Vokes' headed goal. I was like... seriously? Haggis scored at least one like that every single game.

I think this is much warmer than Farke but colder than Mowbray.

Akinfenwa in a Rovers shirt for 10 minutes every week has got to be better entertainment than watching Sam Gallagher try to trap a football. But seriously.... we are Rovers. Our aims should be much higher. But they aren't due to our very poor owners and all of the really cheap people they employee. And I am very interested to know if the new pitch and undersoil drainage & heating system is booked in for the summer ?

He seemed pretty immersed in it last night. Hard to call. If they fail, can see him wanting to finish the job next season. If they go up I really can't see him leaving them.

That is probably exactly what is needed.

Farke out and one of your credible sources. Ainsworth out and another of your credible sources. So how is your 6 candidate shortlist looking Chris ? Told you it was nonsense and way too early. Meanwhile privately Waggott has confirmed that nobody has been spoken to yet except Tony Mowbray.

Doubt it. Although the twist to the twist would be Nyambe signs.... then so does Mowbray.

Oh sorry, you only named Nixon and a Rovers fan (like me & you). As you were.

For clarity, do you know what Alan Nixon's job is / what he gets paid for ?

They are like the Yoda of fucking up potential. If I recall Waggott said it was too costly a gamble to explore the Chilean market. Although the difference there is the commodity is BBD rather than Rovers and will follow him to his new club in a few weeks.

Don't think so. You are confusing pure speculation from people trying to sell bets and papers, etc. I guarantee nobody on here has a clue.

There is more to it from the club's pov. See Manures worldwide fanbase as an example. If there are fans in other countries who may never come to Blackburn, they can still provide valuable income. Even if Rovers become their second team. Yes I know the concept of having a second team should be illegal 🤣. Buying shirts, subscribing to Rovers TV, spreading the word, etc. I think it was yourself not long ago talking about some new virtual thing I am too old to understand. Is it buying teams or skins on computer games or something? Yes the team ultimately needs to perform on the pitch to maintain interest. The Diaz situation is another example of worldwide fandom. Maybe generating income from these things are the future for the club and us old gits sitting in the cold moaning about pies & pints are the past for them. Pay the price to come down or don't.

100% If you wait by the river long enough, the bodies of your enemies will float by. And here we wait.

It has been said that gambling is a mugs game and that there is only ever one winner...the bookies. It would never be more true if Tony gets on the plane to India coming back with a nice new contract. I don't really see much about this season that the owners won't have been happy with, given pre season expectations.

Do we ? How do we know this ?

I am in this group. Stopped my ST after Lambert. Won't go back until they leave. Was hard at first. Angry on matchdays. Now its made easier by this magic stick from South America which means I don't have to pay to suffer.

Except Rovers Chat don't have a clue who the candidates are.

How dare you question the integrity of The Gospel of Tony.
