Have to agree with this! don't think Luque was Sounesse's choice nor Owen they were Shepherd's trophy signings. Yep agreed.

Its all history now, we just need to survive this season and I am sure we will be at least a mid table side next year. I think i said that this year as well. Oh well heres to hoping.

howay man, even i can tell you the answer to that robson had (allegedly/truly) lost the players, dyer refusing to play etc...etc... and souness was seen as a disciplinarian with a decent record (to shepherd, this is all from his perspective) blackburn being bottom 3 could be seen as a blip in his time there to an outsider like shepherd as he'd got them promoted and won a cup, back into europe and so on surely you can see that? time changes perceptions but i clearly remember the feeling during that period that the players needed "sorting out" there are your reasons, some sound some not so sound in my opinion...it's more a testament to the short-termism of shepherd that he did what he did shepherd is obviously not an idiot is he? the only multi-millionaire idoits are lottery winners...he just wasn't suited to running a football club - he was obsessed with winning a trophy (presumably to be the local hero) and i don't think you can underestimate the fact souness had previously won a trophy at EVERY other club he'd been to in the mans thinking the fact the blackburn fans were dancing about when we took souness tells it's own story but if ANYONE can tell me or show me that when we signed him they could have predicted just how badly he managed things then i'd be very, very surprised...i basically thought we'd end up mid table but sort out the little turds at the club like dyer, and maybe sneak a cup along the way you asked for freddies intelligent reasoning, not mine i might add I knew right from the off that that cockend would dragg us down the table. My pals will tell you how much i bitched on about the scotch slag. He was a plumb, his methods were old and outdated. You dont command respect from people by going around acting the hardman. i think what gets me more than anything about the appointment of souness was how much he was backed - to call his previous transfer record patchy would be doing the bloke a favour, yet he was afforded SO much money to piss away...this made less sense that appointing him! that's what galls me now...everyone can appoint a bad manager, and most generally do, but most don't leave clubs in the mess he did due to the money spent and wages agreed (what was the story recently, pre souness the wages were between 50-60% of turnover and OK, after he went mental it shot up to 72%!!) if he'd come in and been backed a bit, done his "disciplinarian" s***, then pissed off without us having been tarnished by the luque/owen/bounsoung deals i think the vitriol reserved for him would have been somewhat lower The board and chairman should also shoulder the blame for the Souness mess. They allowed the wages to escalate unchecked. And didn't Souness say recently that freddy was intfearing in his plans for team rebuilding.

Its always a number of things that we do to shoot ourselves in the foot. Not backing Robson in the transfer market when we finished 3rd Miss timing of Robsons sacking The following Appointment of Souness Souness taking the hump with players Souness being given a vast amount of money and not addressing problem areas of the team (defence) The appointment of Roeder as manager Roeder not addressing the problem positions in the first team (defence) I could go on

We really are due a win at some point, even the shitest teams in history always geta result from somewhere.

If any mongs at the match were having a go at Mike Ashley they can fuck right off. Their support is not wanted.

Bolton Fulham Derby Tho i wouldn't be surpised to see us 3rd bottom. We've just got zero luck at the minute.

The lads that started taking the piss ion the boozer before the match, one had a mask on, they were singing that,and giving abuse to the barmaid. They were very lucky they only took a slap, and had the window smashed on there mini bus. I stepped in and a few others, but there was some very unsavory people in the upstairs of that bar, who come down to see what the fuss was and were persuaded not to get involved. And while the atmosphere was shocking i was at St James for the Liverpool, and Man city match this season, and that Manchester city match was the worse support from an home crowd ive seen in years (obviously apart from Boro and fulham) The atmosphere is terrible at Anfield but theres a few hundred of us at the top of the Kop who are trying to do somthing about it, at the minute the stewarts are trying to crack down on us and stop us standing etc. We sing non sop all match, but i know a few hundred travelling doesnt travel much, as me mate sits in the main stand and said he hardly hears us. At the moment we are in negotiations with the club to get more lads moved to our area of the ground, and taking up the issue about the over the top stewarts. This season is an improvement on last season, and hopefully next season will be better, but yes like most clubs we are defintly a better away crowd. Anyway im off to milan in a few hours, are you lads going wish us luck? HA! Fck off. I hope you boring bastards get rapped....................on the football pitch at football.

Oh FFS

There is between those who go to the match and those who don't. The worst of the latter being the incredibly stupid c***s who think you get a better idea of the game from watching on tv, or that by listening to some s**** radio commentary, you are qualified to comment on the game. Some season ticket holders barely watch the match, come in late, leave for a pint before half time early. Come back late and fuck off 5 mins before the end. Why? Let someone else have it

Fat freds nob squad f***** up. End of. Why does this topic keep reappearing?

Oh dear me.

amen Spot on mate

Selfish comments considering we are in the middle of a relegation battle.

I felt sick after the match on Sat. Never felt that disappointed for a while.

HOWAY THE LADS!

you been to the training ground?

This lad might just be what we need, freeing up Faye to play DM.

I really hate saying this but we need a luck break
