Every single fan base would die under this amount of crushing despair. I'd get new friends if I was you if they're using that against you.

So a Premier League CB (who they paid £12m for by the way) 'sussed' Kargbo out after a few runs? Was that before or after he gave away a penalty? Obviously it was before he was subbed off at half time. Kargbo won't be playing against £12m players every week - and I remain baffled that people never learn about their snap judgements on players. Tronstad was deemed as awful after his first few games. Brereton-Diaz a write off after 2 years.

But he knew Eustace's win percentage...

Alex Crook comes across well in that segment.

Jordan talking shite, as per. He talks like this is a functional football club - as Alex Crook pointed out this is our third manager in just over three years that has walked out the door. We have 13 senior players under contract when the summer transfer window opens. We've banked over £30m and spent less than £2.5m. Also why's he dressed like Brains from Thunderbirds?

It's bonkers, isn't it? Imagine being loathed by tens of thousands of people AND it's costing you tens of millions of pounds a year for the privilege. Just sell.

Derby County literally wouldn't exist after 15 years of Venky rule. The fact we get 14k+ fans at every home game and are sitting in mid-table in the Championship after their years of mismanagement and neglect clearly demonstrates that we're a far bigger club than they could ever dream to be.

We did, we just made them too late in the window to make a difference.

He blatantly doesn't want to go. If it was WBA / Coventry etc he'd have said goodbye to the players this morning. He's using this as a bargaining chip - which will ultimately see him unveiled as the Derby boss by Wednesday.

There's nothing to comment on until he officially leaves.

My protest will be an empty seat in the Jack Walker Stand if we really lose Eustace to Derby. I won't be going again whilst they own the club.

That lad is going to get himself barred from Brockhall.

If that was the case you wouldn't be letting Dolan go to Tribunal in the summer, you'd have sold him in January. Same with Brittain, Travis and Tronstad.

He's 85 and hasn't worked in football since 2018 so I suspect he's retired. He also quickly walked away from Ewood when he got the measure of these owners.

As I said yesterday, I think that comment was his last plea for the actual owners to speak to him - circumventing the two clowns at Ewood. They won't so he'll be off to Derby.

If I had to guess I'd suggest we have a mid-table L1 budget right now. Which is why the mythical "lose £20m a year" comment doesn't sit right with me. We've done nothing but downsize and downgrade for about least 5 years yet that figure remains a constant.

None of those were for 15 years (and counting, which no sign of ending) though.

The only thing that would get to them is someone like Rohit Sharma going on tv during a Test match and calling out the Rao family for bringing the country into disrepute with their treatment of an English institution. Obviously that's not going to happen.

Or get found to have done something wrong at the conclusion of this court case - which suggests they know they have.

Don't need a Chief Football Scout if you don't sign any players.

No. When Eustace arrived in February last year the Duncan McGuire transfer from Orlando Pirates had just fallen through - it was a £1m loan fee and a mandatory future fee of £3.5m in the summer. Allegedly Eustace was promised this £4.5m was sat in the bank to spend if he kept us up. Obviously it wasn't.

He'll want better than Dolan, even in L1.

I certainly wouldn't bother following that.

Plans in place. How about having plans in place to retain the manager that has them sat in the playoffs in February? Beggars belief.

*£96m in losses claimed by a family currently being investigated for fraud. I'd take those numbers with a pinch of salt.
