Cards on the table: I'm a wanderer.

When we sacked Coyle I did wonder where our respective fortunes would end up. You were riding high in the league and we were struggling and we looked dire. Then we got Friedman on board and the fans were, generally speaking, fairly unimpressed.

Steadily though he has managed to turn things around and it's not out of the question that we might make the play offs.

Why do I say this? Well there are similarities between Appleton and Friedman. Both young/fairly inexperienced for one thing. But the difference is that Friedman wasn't fighting battles to keep the club together in the boardroom and in the dressing room.
In effect Friedman has had the time to develop a style of play and get everyone playing in a decent system - it took time and there were casualties along the way - but gradually things got better.

Appleton didn't have that luxury. His interviews to me were more about the conflict in the boardroom than on the pitch. How can he be expected to unite the dressing room with so much conflict on show from his employers. It must have been impossible for him to get the team all pulling in the same direction - so I feel for Appleton right now.

But the biggest issue in all this is the club itself. Many fans are talking about Adkins or Hughes. Are you serious? Do you really think a talented up and coming manager would touch BRFC right now. Taking that job might earn you a few bob in the short term - but longer term it would be the biggest career limiting move imaginable.

No-one in their right mind will be sending their CV off to Blackburn in the hope of landing the manager job. That's a crisis for BRFC - I don't see good things for you guys in the immediate future. I'm 53 and have hated BRFC for nearly all those years - but right now I just feel a bit sad for you.

Appelton talked a good game and seemed a sensible bloke, but the performances and results were a disaster. Can't have been an easy decision, but there was every chance we would have got relegated under Appelton. Whatever people think about the Venkys they have been continually let down by so-called knowledgeable people, they have been too easily influenced by Anderson, Shebby and Shaw. when you don't know much about something that's what happens. If they already have Adkins lined up then it is a good decision.

Dead right Tom. You know what I reckon?

I think the problems at Blackburn started with Jack Walker

Jack Walker lived in Jersey and he no doubt paid less tax there then he would have had he lived on the mainland.

He blew this extra cash funding his favourite football club. And after a little bit of glory what happened?

THIS!

You see, what he's accidentally done is give you lot ideas above your station.

Now you all seem think you DESERVE to have a good side. You don't. You deserve exactly what you've got. A succession of bald headed, clueless managers whose only skill is to tell lies and talk absolute sh*it.

You can't just BUY success long term. You have to earn it. Where do you lot get off thinking you deserve to be in the big League with the PROPER football clubs? You don't. You need to get real.

You're just a **** pot Northern barnacle of a town. And you're a set of MUGS.

It's the descent from glory to the current sh*it pot status that hurts you the most. And don't try to give it the big one about "34 years" because I can tell you're well gutted.

You see - none of this misery would have happened if Jack had paid his tax. In a way, the reason you are suffering today is because of Jack Walker.

But I can see WHY he went to Jersey I suppose. Who'd want to stay anywhere near Blackburn?

BRFC need an experience manager and clear out some dead woods in the club.There are players just not good enough to wear Blackbrn Rovers shirt.
Clear out th following players
Pederson out of form and too old
Etuhu a rubbish buy not fit to wear a Rover's shirt
Goodwillie young fooballers who is only good for SPL league
Murphy should hang up his boots
loan players get rid of all those donkeys like Bentley,DJ Campbell Jones Stewarts
Nuno Gomes too old
Leon Best a rubbish buy
Gael Givet a player just inconsistant and want to leave, boot him out.
We need to start building a squad with Rhodes Hanley Kean Henley King Lowe Olsson twins Scot Dann Kazim Richards Fabio Nunes
young players of the future and we need to add four or five qulity players
one quality central defender
one striker
two midfielders
Venkys must spend or sell up cause Blackburn Rovers is now a laughing stock of English football.Bring back John Williams who can guide Rovers back to PL .This once proud club is now sinking like Titanic.

Now that you've got your wish, what will you do if Bowyer fails to win three or four games from his first five matches? Will you demand that he gets sacked too before he gets us relegated?

bowyer is just the next fall guy in line for the owners....and he comes cheap. No Team GB heroics from him this time, the players must be so dizzy and disillusioned from the last three or four months that I don`t expect them to be able to raise their game to help Team GB or the club move forward now.. I always found some hope in most things blue and white but there is nothing left now but to turn the anger into action and the ONLY hope is to go after the Venkys with whatever it takes to get then out the club. Blockade their offices in London and Switzerland - find some Rovers fans willing to do the same over in India at Venky shops and businesses. We have to take the fight to them or give up all hope for our club which they have almost killed off.

You should look at BFC mate.

Unofficially Howe left cos of sexual harassment from male fans.

Turf Moor has been turned down by Lidl as a potential site because it's built on landfill.

Bob Lord's last request was that the ground should be flattened and a rehabillitaion centre be erected for the kids in Burnley.

BFC can't afford to rennovate Turf Moor for the faithful.....so I don't blame you for aspiring to what BRFC have done.

You could try rehab yourself if you can get away from Burnley.

Beats servicing your own sister though!!! Another poor little Dingle still so bitter about the fact that his team still, after 34 years, couldn't beat our 'toxic sorry little club'. And we were in the old division 2 (championship) when Jack put his money into the club, or 'found' us as you put it. And that's 2 divisions above division 4....ring any bells???

If I were you I'd be worried about your own club rather than obsessing about ours and here's why:

1. Austin will leave at summer and because he's not on a long contract you won't get his full value.
2. Rumour has it that Trippier is on his way.
3. You only have one parachute payment left.
4. Kilby is no longer bankrolling you.
5. Half of your squad is set to leave as the contracts that they signed when you were in the prem are due to expire and Burnley are only offering them half of what they were on.

34 years and counting

Sacking Appleton is a good move because he should never have been hired in the first place (and subsequently he failed to match up to Mrs Desai's philosophy of passing football.) Nonetheless, it does make Rovers an even bigger laughing stock, if such a thing is possible, but that is because the people who really, really should be sacked are still there: Singh, Coar, Agnew, Shaw, and above all the Venkys. As for Applleton he should seek a carer in a sport where the long ball is properly appreciated, like shot put, for example.
By the way I don't see Blue Skies on here lamenting MAs departure.

Why are you avoiding the question Dave? When will you start calling for Bowyer's removal? After one loss? Two or three losses maybe? If you actually attended matches instead of forming your opinion based on what you read in match reports or hear other people say on the radio then you'd know that what I said isn't tripe. When teams aren't winning the negative aspects of the game always get exaggerated. Until you've formed an opinion based on what you've seen with your own eyes I'm afraid nobody is going to take you seriously.

I'm a long standing rovers fan and not as affected by the situation at my club. I laughed when Funny equalized on Sundays but didn't carry on laughing. There's surely only so long a mentally mature person can be amused by another football club - isn't there?

That senile old Fat Tax-dodger Jack Walker's millions gave you inbreds a superiority complex - it has now all gone and all you have to look back on are the memories.
Unlucky - You are all calling for Venkys to leave, but have any of you actually rubbed your two brain cells together and thought about what would actually happen if they did leave?
Who would fund your £40 million wage bill?
Who would subsidise your scrubber-priced season tickets?
Who would allow you to buy players for £8 million?
Basically, I will put it simply for you, as I know most of you are brain-dead - if they left NO-ONE would want to buy you, particularly after your so-called fans have given those Claret-Heros Venkys so much grief.

In short, you are royally **** long-term and I can't wait until you go bust.

It is funny merlinrabbit because I am old enough to remember Burnley in the 1980's and how the Blackburn fans were laughing at our demise and praying for us to get relegated out of the league and go bust.

Enjoy your massive slice of karma pie.

How bitter can an individual be?

Burnley have never achieved anything and never will because you are a small club with crap facilities a sheep shed of a ground and no ambition.

At least we have had our time in the sun and that is something you will never appreciate - hence the fact that you are pickling in your own bile.

You can call Jack Walker but his legacy has left the club with a state of the art stadium and world class academy and training facilities - what have you got?

Oh and finally we have won the premier league title one of only 4 teams who have something that will never happen at Burnley even in your best alcohol infused dreams.

Sorry should not mock as clearly there is a lot for you to be bitter about. Don't bother responding because that is my last word on the issue, as the barrister said "I rest my case your honour'

BRKFC - THE PANTOMIME THAT'S NOT JUST CHRISTMAS

If I were you I'd be worried about your own club rather than obsessing about ours and here's why:

1. Austin will leave at summer and because he's not on a long contract you won't get his full value.
2. Rumour has it that Trippier is on his way.
3. You only have one parachute payment left.
4. Kilby is no longer bankrolling you.
5. Half of your squad is set to leave as the contracts that they signed when you were in the prem are due to expire and Burnley are only offering them half of what they were on.

34 years and counting

Dont worry about us you should take stock of the firesale at Deadwood at the end of the season. Rhodes, Best, Dann, Hanley, Lowe, Givet, all off to pastures new you will just be left with a pub team that would struggle to beat Accy Stanley.
Burnley Football Club in the Championship, Rovers relegated, absolutely priceless.

Dingles have had 34 years to build a team to beat Rovers.Just how long do you Dingles need? We'll give you another 34 years to try again. I predict Rovers will finish above Burnley THIS season,and will do in the future. We gave you every opportunity this season to end your dismal record,and still you couldn't take it. With most of your senior players having pay cuts at the end of season and the bricklayer wanting away, they will be looking for bigger & better clubs in the old third division just like Howe. P.S. can we have our loo back,no good to you as you will need running water for it to work. Desperate people do desperate things. Sad set of Dingle fans.

And pray tell where has the 'state of the art stadium, world class academy and training facilities' got you?

Below us in the table and heading for financial oblivion - that's where.

Oh and well done on winning the Premier League, and being undefeated against us for 30 odd years - I am sure those wonderful memories will keep you warm as you and a few thousand hardy souls shiver on Ewood when Gillingham et al rock up into town next season.

Why are dingles so obsessed by us?
I've never understood it. I started following Rovers in 1974 and apart from the times we've played them I've never given them a 2nd thought although I have mates and a father in law who support them. In that near 40 years we've been in a higher division and a lower division but still they don't concern me. Their standing as a football club has always been tainted by their lack of achievement and their fans hooligan reputation during the time I've followed football. Has that affected them so badly, that their desperation and own frustrations has lead to this unhealthy obsession.
I didn't care they survived league status in 87' because they're not my club.
Without a tirade of braindead insults, can any of them explain this obsession and the fact that they post more on here than their own pages?
Look at the comments figures on their articles , they rarely reach 25, all ours are 100+.

Why are you Burnley fans constantly obsessing on here then if you say your club is well run? Makes no sense. Fans from well run successful clubs aren't obsessively posting desperately bitter messages to fans from another club unless they are borne from deep seated envy. Simply, you are a bunch of simpletons who contradict your own points. You only have to look at the interest in your own clubs news. Zilch. Even bad news about our club is more interesting than your own club and you know it. You prove it on here every day. Burnley is a boring football club. Same season after season and you know it. Your one PL season was just that. You face seasons of the sameness. Yawn yawn. Nobody wants to talk about Burnley, not the nationals, not even if you were under venkys ownership, nobody would be interested, not even the fans are interested. No, you are only interested in the most important club in East Lancashire and still will be if rovers are in the conference. Every message on here from a Burnley fan proves it

Oh yes because a couple of seasons like the ones you have just had is much more preferable than 'sameness' isn't it?

So in your own words you would prefer to be 'talked about' in the 'nationals' than slip by under the radar. And you have the cheek to call us deluded.

It is the general arrogance and the deluded nature of most of you and your fellow posters on here that enhance the happy experience for most of us Burnley fans - no Burnley fan posts on the Lancashire Telegraph site as every Burnley fan knows it is a Local paper for Blackburn 'locals', we prefer to post on ClaretsMad or elsewhere - although thanks for your concern.

Bless - I almost feel sorry for you, I can tell how much the situation is eating up at your insides.Never mind, soon be the cricket season.

It doesn't matter how bitter you are and how sick you are about Sunday, the 'fact' is the tin pot club called Burnley have, and never will be as big and as successful a club as Blackburn Rovers have been. That is a FACT.
You can call us all the names you want but it won't make any difference that you have always supported an inferior team...Suck it.

Oh dear gammon flap (Nice name sure you have sampled a few over the years).

You are as usual missing the point the whole point of illustrating those issues was to highlight how sad and bitter many of you have become.

Yes we may be heading for harder times and we may have to swallow some pride but you see that is the difference between us. You guys have never in your history had anything to be proud of or reflect back on. As I said before time in the sun!

These things are why you feel such bitterness and resentment and why you are motivated to spend so much time on our message boards where as we do not give a toss about you. As my Granny used to say' never stoop where there is nothing to pick' and there is certainly nothing to pick at Turf Moor.

I said I would not respond last time but this is the last comment I will make to you

It astonishes me how many Rovers fans fail to see the underlying problem. The problem was never Appleton,Berg or even Kean-yes he was an odious person but of the three he had a better managerial record-. As I stated last week your problems started with the Venkys and end with the Venkys. It is irrelevant who you have as manager because the structure of BRFC is all wrong and with the owners not at the club on a daily basis then the whole structure cannot possibly be stable. Even worse,you have the utterly incompetent Derek Shaw steering the ship to oblivion this end so you have incompetence both here and in India. The players must not know whether they are coming when you add Eric Black and Bowyer into the mix as caretakers this season and I am certain Jordan Rhodes will hand in a transfer request at the end of the season as he deserves better. The fans need to do two things: 1, Demonstrate and force the Venkys to sell and 2, Get the FA and Football League to deem the Venkys to be in breach of the "Fit and proper" ownership requirement. Some of the naive fans think a new manager will turn this around but even Mourinho or Guadiola couldn't fix this. The new manager will be a puppet and will fail just like the last three managers as they are working under owners-The Venkys-who are so out of their depth they are now vandalising-unintent

ionally-a great traditional football club.

Finally, Shebby Singh has done something useful and put the woeful Appleton out of his misery. A caring vet would have shot him weeks ago.. It could also have the added bonus of getting rid of the chinless wonders who hired him, or perhaps they have already gone: would anyone have noticed?
Take your time now Venky's. Let Gary Bowyer steer us to safety whilst the headhunters quietly get on with the job of assembling a new board of directors and appoint an experienced manager in time for the July transfer window. In the meantime lets all get behing Gary and help him to turn Appleton's Assylum Seekers into a semblance of a team to keep us up.

Why are you avoiding the question Dave? When will you start calling for Bowyer's removal? After one loss? Two or three losses maybe?

I dont want loads of abuse just sensible answers. He got rid of Kean (that everyone wanted) and he has got rid of Appleton. Whilst I supported Appleton while he was here his record particularly in the last 8 games is beyond abysmal.
Hopefully this time Shebby will employ an experienced manager and until it is time to disclose who the new manager will be he keeps his mouth shut.

Didn't we have "an impressive list of candidates" on the shortlist. What happened to them? I think it was the quality of manager that Singh was putting forward, Sherwood, Billy McKinly etc then we ended up with Berg who's record in Norway was less than impressive. Then he wanted Judan Ali at the club as assistant manager, wasn't it ?... Judan ******* who?
I don't think , apart from sacking Kean, Singh has done himself any favours with the fans.

Shebby Singh did not get rid of Kean. Singh's ridiculous comments and absurd behaviour served only to give Steve Kean an 'out' where he could walk away and still get a huge pay out. Kean would never have walked if he wasn't going to gain from it. Hell, the guy even delayed making his announcement until after he'd cadged a lift home to London with the team. Whilst Appleton may not have been the answer after Berg's firing at least Shaw and Agnew were looking at actual managers who could run the team themselves. Singh spent goodness knows how long fighting them, both after Kean's resignation and Berg's sacking, because he wanted to appoint a coach, thus enabling him to have a say in first team matters. Lo-and-behold, Singh's involvement in Appleton's sacking has now led to Sherwood being linked to the club once again.

Just when we thought we'd seen the back of him, you know, he rears his idiotic head again, you know, and now we'll have another few months of infighting, you know, before we appoint they appoint the wrong man, again, you know.

Yes, you are entitled to form an opinion but it's not going to be one based on first-hand knowledge and, therefore, not one worth listening to. As I've already said, when teams aren't playing well the bad things are always exaggerated. You probably believe that we played the long ball all game, every game but that wasn't the case. You're right about one thing though, the league table doesn't lie: points wise we are closer to the top half of the table than we are the relegation zone. As for our demise, it's not going to be halted by boo boys staying away and not supporting the team. I doubt the players can hear you cheering them on from your armchair. I don't believe that you've been following Rovers for 61 years because somebody old enough to be in that position wouldn't spend all day, every day sat in front of a computer screen acting like the proverbial baby spitting its dummy out.

Hi svrp. Would Steve Kean not have got a paid up contract if he had been sacked and therefore Shebby speeding his removal/resignation up was surely a good thing.I am not a massive Shebby fan but he has done nothing different to Shaw and Agnew as far as employing a failed manager. All he does seem to do is react to the bad results and therefore get involved in some way with the dismissal of the manager. How long would we have waited for Appleton to go if it was down to his mate Shaw to get rid of him. Once we were relegated? I just hope this time around Shebby keeps his mouth shut and gets an experienced man in. Lets see

BRKFC - THE PANTOMIME THAT'S NOT JUST CHRISTMAS

If I were you I'd be worried about your own club rather than obsessing about ours and here's why:

1. Austin will leave at summer and because he's not on a long contract you won't get his full value.
2. Rumour has it that Trippier is on his way.
3. You only have one parachute payment left.
4. Kilby is no longer bankrolling you.
5. Half of your squad is set to leave as the contracts that they signed when you were in the prem are due to expire and Burnley are only offering them half of what they were on.

34 years and counting

Dont worry about us you should take stock of the firesale at Deadwood at the end of the season. Rhodes, Best, Dann, Hanley, Lowe, Givet, all off to pastures new you will just be left with a pub team that would struggle to beat Accy Stanley.
Burnley Football Club in the Championship, Rovers relegated, absolutely priceless.

Dingles have had 34 years to build a team to beat Rovers.Just how long do you Dingles need? We'll give you another 34 years to try again. I predict Rovers will finish above Burnley THIS season,and will do in the future. We gave you every opportunity this season to end your dismal record,and still you couldn't take it. With most of your senior players having pay cuts at the end of season and the bricklayer wanting away, they will be looking for bigger & better clubs in the old third division just like Howe. P.S. can we have our loo back,no good to you as you will need running water for it to work. Desperate people do desperate things. Sad set of Dingle fans.

Why are dingles so obsessed by us?
I've never understood it. I started following Rovers in 1974 and apart from the times we've played them I've never given them a 2nd thought although I have mates and a father in law who support them. In that near 40 years we've been in a higher division and a lower division but still they don't concern me. Their standing as a football club has always been tainted by their lack of achievement and their fans hooligan reputation during the time I've followed football. Has that affected them so badly, that their desperation and own frustrations has lead to this unhealthy obsession.
I didn't care they survived league status in 87' because they're not my club.
Without a tirade of braindead insults, can any of them explain this obsession and the fact that they post more on here than their own pages?
Look at the comments figures on their articles , they rarely reach 25, all ours are 100+.
If no sensible answers come back , then as another of our replies states, stop answering them and they might go away

40 years in a higher division?!

Go back to school

As for judging club support by the number of comments there are in the local Blackburn rag.

8500 to watch a potential Wembley prize......

He said for 40 years we have been in a higher division AND a lower division in that time.

It's clear to all that your brain is more active than most, unfortunately it isn't working in your favour. You just spew continuous vitriol, yet even the most downhearted (real) fan would occasionally find something to be positive about.
