That might be 100% bonus with no basic,though. Contingent upon bringing the glory days back. If he don't turn around, he gets nothing

We're more likely to have a manager named by tombola. Even then yer man maggott would get stuck trying to get a card from the bottom of the barrel

"It's impossible that happiness and yearning for what is not present should ever be united" If venkys have taught us anything (and brutal teachers they would be) it would be the folly of becoming emotionally invested in something over which we have no control. We all want our club back, ie owned by people that care and know what they're doing. That's all I ask. It's all about having hope, something to bond over. "when love and skill work together, expect a masterpiece" i like to think I know a bit about football. If I owned the club after the walker Trust, I like to think I would've kept it in the the prem. Possibly that's the durning kruger speaking, maybe not. But certainly what we have now in these owners ain't love and it's definitely not skill, and fuck me, it ain't no masterpiece. I think there's an unspoken covenant at all football clubs that keeps them functional. The fans will turn up and support, the manager and team will prepare thoroughly and do their best on matchday, and the owners will do their best to appoint the right people and back them. Well blow me, we've never had all three at venkys, and at times we've just had the one. They've thrown our covenant on the bonfire

Your last sentence is a fair point. Difficult not to be angry about what venkys have done, but that doesn't get me anywhere

If they're in a mess, it's one entirely of their own making. They've persisted with Mowbray when any other club would've binned him. They've known for ages that he's leaving. This isn't a case of, take our time, get it right. This is a case of, rovers is bottom of the list of priorities. Look at the fucking state the ground is at. I'm not going to chill , they've ruined my club, and no doubt we'll get another clueless arse in time serve in due course. Can't wait

That made me laugh 🤣 Good work colt 👍 Edit: and Alan has inoperable cancer sadly

By the way, as part of my googling today, I found that sadly Chris Thompson passed away in 2012. Seems that he was a troubled soul

What was it that he did other that go awol?

Yeah I reckon colt had it right with Sean curry

Until they go then

Didn't he have Toby jug lugs though?

Yeah, I definitely remember seeing mckinnon in the perspex shirt. Could well be curry couldn't it? Signed by tp from Liverpool for five grand I think it was. Suddenly did a runner, I don't remember ever finding out what happened to him

Andy scored a fair few. I seem to remember him signing for £70k from Birmingham, maybe Jack signed that cheque. He signed in '88 and I thought this pic was before his time. Also seem to remember having a mullet, but maybe I'm wrong.

Living as I do in the past when it comes to Rovers (so much better than living in the present), I googled Alan Ainscow to see what he's up to now. And I found this photo. I'm not sure who the number 9 is. I could only think of Chris Thompson or Jimmy Quinn, but I don't think it's either of them. Anyone know? Wonder what the game was?

He's a bit old now, but wouldn't be any worse than say, Corry Evans.

As far as I'm concerned there's only two thin ha wet can be sure of. A) the new manager will be just as crap as all the previous venkys appointees they'll be appoin after weeks and weeks of buggering about

Venkys put the club up for sale?

... with yer man Dyche organising the cones

We could do with sticking Waggott in his locker.

I think what in particular made the film Member's Cup won special sas that we weren't expected to win, it was little old blackburn rovers, playing first division Charlton. I remember we beat Chelsea and Oxford along the way, with tp as caretaker. I missed that one as I was on a school trip. But we hadn't done anything for ages, totally in the doldrums. Then the play off win. We'd finished sixth in the division after making it look like a cakewalk we'd fallen to pieces. After getting done in every previous play off we'd been in, I just had this feeling we wouldn't do it. The lady ten minutes or so I can still feel the nerves now. Another l low I remember was the football league centenary at Wembley. We'd gotten there when we had that amazing unbeaten run. I was there and it was when Wembley was still standing, we were fenced off from wolves fans, I seem to remember thinking it was a it animalistic. Travelling up to Wembley, it was a mini tournament and we got knocked out in the first round on penalties, I think Hendry skied one. Totally deflating. But nothing, ever, will ever come close to the nadir of being owned by venkys.

I think idiot may well be a medical term as well. Mindless vandalism every weekend is, however, bloody well bang on

Did he jump or was he pushed?

Well I hope you've had your tetanus. I agree, there's no pleasure in it at all. I don't need wins every week. But I do need a reason to hope. That's gone completely. I have to sympathise. What's the point of it, it's bloody agony, would we be better off walking away? Does that mean we're not fans
