In the Lancashire Blackburnegraph certain Woe-vers Trolls referred to it as the "Fizzy Pop" League when they were in the PL ....

Re: Blackburn Rovers. Is it too early
What thrills me, more than just the results, is that as we watch the last rotten remains of Bolton Wanderers trickling down the bog, we can see an identical scenario panning out at Ewood Park.
We have the same hordes of half-witted grotbags baying for big time spending of money their grubby little club will never earn...and nobody wanting to consider that their pride and joy exists now purely on the whim of a bunch of third-world chancers, who, at any time they're in the mood could flush them down the crapper in an instant.

Re: Blackburn Rovers. Is it too early
A defeat against Oldham and a couple more poor results could herald the end for Mowbray.
I do hope so, He's far too decent a guy to be there, and if he does go I think they might disintegrate.

I agree. Mowbray was a far too sensible appointment and there has been far too much stability of late. They need to pot him and hire some nuggets again.nil_desperandum wrote:A defeat against Oldham and a couple more poor results could herald the end for Mowbray.

Re: Blackburn Rovers. Is it too early
Interesting times at Deadwood.
The sale of their "main man" Mulgrew to Wigan, would indicate to me that they have to reduce their salary costs again.
Could be a long season with a bit of luck

Re: Blackburn Rovers. Is it too early
Outside of the carabao, they have
Home vs. Boro
At Hull
Home vs. Cardiff
At West Brom.....
Could easily only have 1 point from their first 6 games. I believe they have 2 shots total on goal in their first 2 weeks.

Their owners seem to be completely uninterested in the day to day activities and seem content to just keep writing a check to cover their costs.

I heard an interview with him recently and he came across pretty well, which must be difficult if he's that thick.
He's got a clear idea of what he wants to do etc.

Initially it was clearly a "status" aquisition, with potential tax benefits no doubt.
Mismanagment, ignorance and disinterest turned it into a white elephant.
Venkys are clearly no longer interested in Blackburn, but know that they aint getting their money back and that the amount of wonga needed for a genuine Prem push is getting astronomic, with no assurance of success.
It's not a saleable asset...pulling the plug risks damage to the Venky brand.
So they will stick with it for now..getting by on as little investment as is needed to keep them in the championship, until they either give it away to cut their losses, or if times are harder they assett-strip the whole shebang, and we can then all go shop at the new Ewood branch of Waitrose or the big Riverside Chicken Shack.

Boro' off to a very poor start - not a 'must win' game for either at this stage but might just fall into the 'must not lose' category

Re: Blackburn Rovers. Is it too early
Rodwell only played for the 18/19 season.
A bit of an interesting case if Rodwell. Seemingly a good player, left for Man City and has been unheard of since. Only 28.

Re: Blackburn Rovers. Is it too early
Looks like the Venkys are now running a tight ship and it could be sink or swim. They have brought in Gallagher for 5 million, obviously think his value will rise. They have made a few free transfer and loan signings, but notably reduced their wage bill, by getting rid of Mulgrew on a season long loan.
Rovers are looking like they have not got the backing of the Venkys any more to compete at championship level, it will only be time before they drop back to league 1 and the Venkys finally pull the plug

They once said something similar when they were above us. Don't stoop to their level, it was and always will be ******* rovers our rivals. Enjoy it though, however people really do need to realise that the lyrics to no nay never is now 'will we play' instead of 'til we play' .
