As much as Venky's ownership has shown us that actions speak louder than words, this bit highlighted in bold is exactly why people get frustrated when Mowbray makes some of the comments he does.

I must admit, I'm a bit concerned by some of the soundbites from that interview. We conceded far too many goals last season, so logic tells us that we need better defenders. As long as we sign those players, I'll be okay with it. But, if we start the season with the same defence that finished last season, anyone that supports Rovers should be worried!

Management wise, Keane and O’Neill are yesterday’s men.

I'd like to see Lampard succeed, in many ways. But Chelsea is a very hard club to get it right at. Some superb managers have been canned for very little there.

There isn't one, it's just that I (and I imagine I'm not alone) are remarking that he's considerably less experienced than most of his predecessors....

Just catching up on the last few pages and I thought I'd give my tuppence worth: Some people think others are hysterical vs. some people think they have legitimate concerns Some people are too harsh on Mowbray vs. some people won't accept any criticism whatsoever of him. Some people think we overpaid for Brereton vs. some people that think he's an investment for the future. Some people think Mowbray is too loyal to a lot of players vs. some people don't. Some people eat meat vs some people don't. (Okay, the last one was a bit silly, but you get the idea). Point is, people have different opinions, if we all accepted people thought differently and didn't make the point they were right and they couldn't understand why others didn't think everyone else didn't think exactly like them, we'd get on a lot better on here.

You know, you could always not be obsessed with hating everyone that's ever been associated with Manchester United?

Just a reminder lads, insults aren't cool and neither is winding each other up.

I never said or suggested anything of the sort. I tried to be as neutral as possible and said people have different opinions.

Not sure how you arrived at that from what I said, but fair enough....

I’m sure it does. People have different opinion, such is life.

People remark on what they see, what’s surprising about that? Some players come good, some don’t reach their potential, such is football.

No, but I suspect you can probably take a wild guess.

Way too harsh IMO. Was fine in league one, not good enough for the Championship, but he's gone now, so not our problem any more.

I’m not really for or against this signing to be honest. There’s been a player in there in the past, hopefully we can see some of those qualities again.

My favourite of the comments in that thread: 'Why are they putting bill boards up in city's that have bigger football clubs than them. I would of thought they would be better in places like Great Harwood or Haslington or Accrington oh sorry Accrington are a bigger club than Rovers' A barely literate and delusional whopper that presumably refers to people as 'cha'.

Got rid of it as people were using it to troll each other...

Salford City vs Leeds, I bet everyone at sky got a raging boner when that was drawn...

It’s not just about budgets, it’s about what you do with them. As we well know with our young striker! Being real though, bargains are there, it’s just a matter of finding them. They don’t have to cost the earth, though granted, as with most things in life, you tend to get what you pay for...

Right lads/lasses- this positive vs negative stuff stops now. Any further comment will be classed as trolling and be dealt with accordingly. We are all individual posters with our own minds and opinions that comment on what they see.

Do you not think it's a bit embarrassing that we have failed to sign a player we've clearly been after for a year? Only for PNE to steal a march and sign him? Remember, there's been no announcement from us that we were 'pulling out of the race to sign him' for example.

Yet the other day you said that PNE were a better option than us......

It doesn't, but it's a little confusing that this lad has been linked to us for about a year, then PNE swoop in out of nowhere and sign him.

Why do you keep calling them Northchoke? Did you choke on their taster menu or something?
