The horse thing is so lame, trying desperately to get something to stick like the ‘Dingle’ tag instantly did.

Valérien Ismaël: Blackburn Rovers Head Coach
Mattyblue replied to DE.'s topic in Blackburn Rovers Fans Messageboard
Clubs at all levels have comms teams churning out this stuff, always have to an extent - think of ‘manager programme notes’ of yore that was the same collection of platitudes every week. Nowt to get in a tiz about. -

Poor do it wasn’t on the egg letter headed paper. -
So it was a terrible sale whichever way you slice it, but hey ho, we had a gas bill to pay that the billionaires wouldn’t.

Venky’s & Waggott Out Protest Ideas

End of the day there’s a new manager and we are sitting in the play off places with 12 games to go, so nothing is going to get much traction at the moment. It has to be the long game (which is fine as we are never too far from the next shambles). -
Bristol City got £25million for Scott, who’s not in the same stratosphere as Adam Wharton… but they weren’t distressed sellers.

Not a chance Swahail get grief at Derby. They’ll be lording it up in the posh seats as Eustace gets both barrels for being a 🐍

A Championship merry go round manager, is what it is, could have stumbled upon worse… I.e if we’d have picked up a result on Saturday, Lowey on a three year deal.

A few weeks ago the Chadster was saying how much of a mess the club was, now it’s all hunky dory again and if you say otherwise he’s restored back to the tiresome ‘negative’ barb. It’s how he always is and always will be, so I wouldn’t get in a day long back and forth with him about it (I’ve learned from bitter experience).

I imagine Lowe would take it, sizeable pay increase (imagine how crap his present cone and bib wage is if we only pay c600k for a manager when in a PL play off place), get sacked, get a pay out and then put the cones out somewhere else if he fanci… oh shit, wait a minute, we don’t sack managers. Lowey with a job for life then - would fit well with operation managed decline though.

Hedges is a prime example of the nonsense of modern football. A wide player picked more for ‘what he does off the ball’ then what he actually can produce on it, you know, that passé stuff like, taking on a man, crossing, passing, shooting.

Two, Bowyer in 2015. But point still stands, one sacking in a decade, we don’t pot managers here, a great place to get your feet under the table… but then you do have to operate in VenkyWorld.

Who thinks they are lucky to be up there? They are up there because they have a load of good players for this level due to parachute payments allowing them to spend far more than equivalent sized clubs (only ten sides out of 24 with a lower average crowd). Until and unless they have a monumental feck up and somehow mess up the parachute seasons this is how it will be.

Load of games against relegation rivals, doesn't look unsurmountable to me, I certainly wouldn't be taking them at odds on.

He’s 23 with 200 games under his belt, for a side that’s spent the majority of it far closer to the top 6 than the bottom one. He’s a Championship player (now if he falls down the leagues due to making wrong career moves/greedy agents that’s a different issue and he won’t be the last on that score).
