Considering they have the biggest budget in League 1, and bigger than many championship clubs it is really.

Anything other than a promotion (which should be easy enough with that kind of money), would be an absolute disaster.

It will be interesting if they do go downhill the second half of the season, then they really would be some merit in that suggestion.

My exact point is that, he usually crashes after Christmas. With the money behind his squad this year there is literally no excuse.

I play and run my own football team, so you'd be miles wide of the mark if you think I'm new to it. Your comments about me not posting in a year prove that you're just being silly anyway.

Exactly. His two big calls were to bring Mowbray in and get us back to Cov. Both successes by the time he left but things went south when he left. Good lyck Steve.

Mowbray - yes, although his good period lasted from March to December 2015. Don’t get me wrong, that was a great period, but in football terms it lasted 6 months if a season. Downhill after that and ended up getting sacked.

Return to the Ricoh? The club had no choice - let’s not put that all down to him, he was the acceptable cheek of the same backside in terms or negotiations with the various parties.

In shit owners top trumps I think the Oystons win because one of them is a convicted rapist. As bad as sisu are that's pretty fucking despicable.

He makes it very difficult for me to put aside my philosophy that you shouldn't make things personal, it's fair to say.

Anyway, comparing shit owners is like deciding whether you want to have rat or squirrel droppings in your plum pudding this Christmas.

Hmmm, bumpity bump bump.

Fair-play to Waggott and dare I say it, Mowbray too, but as Earsldon said, they were backed by their owners this season it seems.

It doesn't really prove anything really I think. We know he fucked up here twice over, but getting Blackburn promoted from League 1 with that budget isn't really a measurable achievement in comparison. The money covers any flaws.

My gran with that budget and squad could have probably got promotion.

I think it proves, as Waggott said on SSNews today, that "Mowbray was backed in January to bring in some quality (also backed last summer too) and his budget was increased" unlike when he was at City, that his budget was spent and no/tiny increase in Jan, therefore he was scraping the barrel with "experienced" signings such as Henderson, Hunt and Ramage who were all dreadful!

What about the other five he brought in for us?

In January?
I seem to remember Cole being signed, but who else?

Gadzhev (later than Jan) and Rose, I think were the others? None of the above pulled up any trees.

I doubt he was backed at all. I really can’t be bothered to trawl the ins and outs in January but Blackburn were relegated with a wage bill that was the equivalent of 24 Accrington Stanley’s. Did he manage to get rid of players and then bring some in? The club is all but bust.

They apparently offloaded 16 senior players before the season started I read in one article today. Plus who is it that keeps insisting budgets are irrelevant?

Yes it’s totally irrelevant as wolves have proved.

He was backed, if you actually look at Blackburn's January transfer activity 2017–18 Blackburn Rovers F.C. season - Wikipedia
I'll throw in the Summer's activity too: 2017–18 Blackburn Rovers F.C. season - Wikipedia

As I wrote earlier, Waggott was on Sky Sports News being interviewed live and said the owners had backed Mowbray in the Summer and then again in Jan.
