Hard times are coming? They've been here for over a decade.

It's interesting how opinions differ - I think Saka and Mount are very good players. I think Grealish is a duffer.

It is when England are just using it as a series of friendlies. This is the third different starting XI Southgate has picked.

Rivalry aside, I'd rather live in Burnley. Lancashire is a beautiful place.

Nobody called our DOF. I wouldn't be surprised if we've not mentioned the new manager in this thread.

Durham v Lancashire, streamed live from the Durham changing room. Jesus Christ, lads, show a little impartiality, eh? Unprofessional twonks.

Romo is a class above every other 'colour' commentator in the NFL. Very harsh to lump him in with that lot.

People betting on the Rovers managerial race clearly don't like money.

Also admitted that he needs a minder. No thanks.

Then, y'know, bloody sell the club you bastards.

The social media team lap up whatever he does too, it's nauseating. He literally barely plays for us - I think basically QF / SF/ F of the T20 Blast most years, if it lines up with his calendar. Really can't stand the bloke, especially because he's a crap Test cricketer.

I mean they weren't far wrong - we finished 2nd bottom of the form table (losing to bottom in the process) after January.

Of which year?

How are we possibly starting pre-season without a manager when the powers that be knew Mowbray was leaving in January?! It's been a month with no-one at the helm. I swear the Venky's are Burnley fans.

Give over. A manager worth his salt will be able to find an upgrade on a free transfer. Lenihan was ok, but he was incredibly clumsy and got caught out often. Coupled with the fact he thought he was Beckenbauer and he's not great loss. If he's not replaced them we're in trouble, but Van Hecke and Wharton were leagues above him last year. We're not losing a star.

It says that the bloke who took us on a journey for 5 years horribly mismanaged the squad.

To be fair, Boro are a massive club. Just ask Tony.

Captain Fantastic.

I've run into too many bullshitters in my time to buy into an interview. I'll reserve judgement based on what he actually achieves - there's many people that can talk a good game, but don't have the ability to deliver.

Again that's entirely unfair lumping Ainsworth and Warne in with Ferguson. They're experienced, successful managers. Ferguson is a no mark.

England just look knackered.

He's at New York City FC - they're not short of a few bob.

These owners have done nothing to cultivate loyalty. It's a business decision for me now these days - is what's on offer every other Saturday worth my time (the money is less of an issue tbh)? Will I be entertained? The days of blindly following Rovers died with Steve Kean.

They're never going to get their money back - albeit they only bought us for £25m before running us into the ground.

It's disappointing, but it's pretty clear we were a backup plan for Farke. He got the offer he wanted.
