That’s the saddest thing? Wow. All this is the fans fault? We were getting 5k fans in the 80s If you build it, they will come…

You don’t know that. It may be your opinion, but don’t state it as fact.

Correct me if I'm wrong, but weren't we about 7th in the prem when they sacked Sam. What growth was expected after that? I was rather enjoying beating the "big clubs" every now and again and remaining in the prem.

I’ve felt this to be the case for at least 3/4 years.

It was a lovely pass for their goal as well

This deserved more likes

Is there something in bookies T & C’s that says they can void a bet if they messed up the original odds? Even if there is, I doubt they would ever do it, the PR would be terrible for them.

Good post. not a mystery to me. He’s a crap manager well out of his depth in the modern game. Sussed him about 4 years ago.

Ryder cup or Ewood this afternoon? Never thought I’d even remotely consider that. Hard to buy into Rovers these days.

The best piece I’ve seen written on him - thanks. It’s worth downloading the “theathletic” app and signing up for free for a week just to read it. Lots of new stuff I’d not heard before. This bit struck a chord with me personally… The way people talk about Tugay reminds you of how people talked about players such as Garrincha, describing a lesser-seen, mercurial talent they almost feel duty-bound to try to make everyone understand how good they were. Nobody who ever coached “Toogs”, or played with him, or even watched him, has anything even remotely negative to say, about either his talent or his character. They’re Tugay proselytisers, keen to convert the remaining disbelievers to the cause.

Our physios will make sure he is fit to sign. We do have some physios don’t we? 🥺

They will be once the inevitable injury crisis kicks in.

I hope Carter has improved since I saw him play last season. Admittedly only once. He was terrible.

I’ve just had an advert on here for an ad blocker. Seriously. My brain has just collapsed into a singularity just thinking about that one.

Up front it is then.

Which could well be why he hasn't succeeded here due to terrible management by his manager. I'm wondering who we can afford that are better.

This has potential as a drinking game.

It really was obvious to some of us. I went to the PNE away game that season and what I saw that day convinced me Mowbray wasn’t up to it. From team selection, to what went on on the pitch to his comments afterwards. A Shameful display of football management. Nothing has happened since that has convinced me otherwise.

I think tomphil is saying that in the event of an Armstrong sale, it’s likely that the proceeds would be used to pay off the highest priority Creditors (as Venkys should do) and not used as re-investment in the team. ie Armstrong proceeds will get swallowed up.

Somebody should stick that under Mowbray's nose and ask what comment he has to make in the context of Rovers lamentable showing last season. Particulary Swansea and Barnsley's figures.

What question or point are you really trying to make?

All 5000 of us.

To be honest, I think everyone’s broadly in agreement. we’re fucked.

I don't think he is doing his best judging by his demeanor on the touchline during games. But that is just my interpretation/opinion. I also don't think he is the brightest either, which puts him way out of his depth. Ditto the CEO.

Get them printed…if he bangs in 15/20 goals this season you could be on to a winner!
