southgate is going to get absolutely pillored by the press for this,don`t particularly care for his management(he`s a gold plated mowbray imo) but he seems a decent bloke,does`nt deserve whats coming to him tommorow morning though

tired players who have been forced to extend their season for a pointless competition that nobody wants,no wonder it`s a **** game

surely it`s up to jdt to tell broughton about any players he wants,then it`s up to him to bring them in,disfunctional in the extreme for broughton to start buying players without consulting the manager🤔

yes,getting mine this weekend,first season ticket since i threw the last one on the pitch at the wigan relegation game🙂,im`e genuinely optimistic about this season,mind you,i think it`s mostly because mowbray has gone,as a supporter he dragged me down mood wise,it must have been worse for the players,imagine turning up for work only to be greeted by his depressing tones

if jdt can get him to play his size he certainly can be a handfull,the second half of the derby game at home he was giving their defence a monstering,it`s what you expected of a 6"4 centre forward,sadly we hav`nt seen it enough

potter is`nt daft enough to let van hecke go anywhere,he`s pretty clued up and iv`e no doubt van hecke will be in their first team very soon

welcome to ewood park mr tommason,for the first time in years,im`e genuinely looking forward to the start of the season,hopefully nyambe signs on and jdt has some serious contacts in scandanavia and holland,sure he`ll have a decent budget as well on the issue of kompany,he made a mess of the anderlecht job,the biggest club in belgium by far and barely made 3rd place,he`s going to fail at turd morgue,especially when they barely have a squad and no money

i wouldn`t worry to much about losing lenihan,he`s a two bob stopper with a bad disciplinary record i`ll admit losing rothwell and possibly nyambe is a blow,i think both of them will flourish under a manager who plays them to their strengths

im`e going to get mine on friday,feel really positive about this new season,probably because mowbray is`nt here

i wonder if jdt will have the same cultish appeal that mowbray had,the happy clappers adored him,he could do no wrong,will the danish guardiola get the same appreciation

we all had a bad feeling about last season tbh😁

come on fellow roverites,lets get positive and give jdt our support,time for fatalism is if we are in the bottom 3 by november

on the positive side,jdt will no doubt have some contacts in scandanavia and holland,more important for me is the fact he can`t possibly be as moribund as mowbray on the tactics side,iv`e always found former attacking players make better managers

i was never one his biggest fans,jumped into tackles to much because his reading of the game is poor,look how easy van hecke and ayala make the game seem,because they can read the game very well

there is`nt any money in swedish football,compared to malmo rovers are absolutely minted,all the clubs in sweden have to rely on players coming through the system,jdt should be used to having to work with that

providing venkys don`t offer him a pittance,welcome to ewood park mr tommason

one of the best things about sam`s reign was the big clubs hated coming to ewood,wenger in particular detested us with unbridled hatred,remember the game when sam put samba up front and every free kick the arsenal defence was at panic stations😄

it would uninspiring yes,hardly an appointment to make you hurry down the roverstore for a season ticket i admit,however it`s still an improvement on moggadon

i would`nt want him anywhere near the club,he could`nt do it at bournemouth,who throw money around like confetti

i bet loads of us get a 24 hr ban when the appointment is announced😇

whoever our new manager is,it`s going to be announced early this week,the lads are back tommorow for fitness evalutions and tests,i would absolutely wet my boxers if they announced johnson as boss🤣,it would be so venkys to **** about with interviews,get turned down by everyone so have to promote from within,i would get behind him in all honesty he`s still a better choice than woodgate,adkins etc

remember the game well,despite us winning by a mile,i thought benito carboni was an absolute monster ability wise,great player

venkys bought the club as an advertising aid to go with their planned fried chicken outlet plan,when they actually found out that the fast food business in this country is ferociously competetive they stopped the project and where left with a football club they neither wanted or needed,they can`t however get rid of it for a profit and not making a profit on it would damage their reputation in indian business circles,they are very keen on face and reputation in india,if they cut their losses they will be subject to loss of status in india and after damaging the product for 12 years,there is no way they are making a profit

keep off those funny smelling cigarettes

you must have been watching far away from ewood 🤣
