So another manager leaves,its no use appointing another for 6-8 weeks costing even more money in compensation!G Bowyer will have to steady the ship and ride the storm.We as Rovers fans should give our support and hope that we avoid relegation, as this would be a disaster.The whole Venky circus at Ewood needs to change ,also we have very few players left who are up to the mark.We have had 3 seasons of Mayhem and I hope next season changes for the better.8 and a half thousand for a 6th round replay(I know it was bitterly cold that evening)should have been packed to the rafters,Dingle game ditto!We have almost hit rock bottom ,I still care about the club I have followed for almost 50 years.

Sad times that football clubs supported by thousands can get taken over by any old numpties and run into the ground.

Who would have thought that two of the teams relegated last season would be battling the drop come March.
Two very different clubs ruined by a common factor – pathetic mismanagement at the top.
Are Blackburn the first team ever where Manager of the Month has stopped being an award and become a job title?

I would not wish these owners with their hangers on(Shebby,Shaw,Agnew and Hendry) any other club Burnley included.These people are a disgrace to the hard working Rovers fans who churn cash into their beloved club season after season,I will not go as far as to say they are thieves and rogues but maybe just plain stupidor misguided.one way or another they have totally ruined a decent stable club in less then 3 seasons Bravo well done Venkys!

Star and fellow Rovers stalwarts: what a disaster our beloved club now is. We are a laughing stock for all the shallow people on here but a worrying touch of reality to true fans everywhere who say, "Could this happen to us?"
I think of happier days, not just of the 1960's or 1990's glory days but even the dismal 70-80s; at least we knew that, even as incompetent as the owners/board/managers were, they at least were honest, trying hard and had a love of football themselves.
I don't think today's clowns can claim even one of those three qualities.
The net result (pardon the pun) might be NO Rovers at all, given the financial situation of the area, the fans and the banks.
Too depressing to think about, I am not sure which will give in first; my liver or BRFC!

The most worrying thing is that this madness keeps going on and on!Like Duggy stated we had in the 70s and eightys little cash and had to make do,but we had hard working players and always did our best no matter what the result or outcome.This bunch of clowns are a complete disgrace to the name of football and the sooner theyve gone the better ,good riddance!

How about a REAL boycott of all remaining home games. Then maybe these owners will get the hint that THEY are no longer welcome?

I think 8and a half thousand for a 6th round fa cup replay speaks volumes about our club at this present moment in time! I honestly believe if this trend keeps up the terraces will be empty.
