    Tahh AR, but lets not get carried away eh lol
    We just wanted to stay up this season and I think we're all delighted at whats happened in the first 23 games. By our standards the year 2016 has been absolutely amazing, we've gone from bottom two last christmas to promotion and our first ever two wins at Wembley.

    As a neutral I couldnt understand the sacking of Gary Bowyer (but then again, what do I know eh!!).
    I understand the dislike at Coyle's appointment, seeing as hes a former Burnsley manager. We'd be the same I suppose if it came down to us appointing a former Leeds or Sheff Wensday or Sheff United manager.

    Ive never been a regular poster on this board but I do remember it was a lot busier than this a few years ago. Back in the days when we had the awful Keith Hill as our manager (was Hill ever a favourite for you lot at Blackburn ?)

    I like to have a giggle with some Burnsley fans on footymad, and we're both called the Dingles by the way

    Actually, in all the years I've been a supporter, the number of "popular" managers (in a long-term sense) could probably be counted on one hand!
    In our current situation, the bloke we need is Howard Kendall (who died far too young).

    Ahh Howard Kendall eh, a former Blunt manager (Sheff United!!).
    Everytime I watch match of the day and Alan Shearer is on, I think back to when your lot won the Prem that year ahead of Manure. What on earth happened eh ?

    And I forget his name, but there was one fan on here who gave me my first 'welcome' message on here a few seasons ago. Hes not a regular poster anymore.

    Well, to be honest, with Jack Walker gone, "what...happened" was probably the inevitable.
    What couldn't be predicted, though, was how we would get tied up with a set of owners who were completely clueless about football! It still amazes me that people who have been so professionally successful in one sphere could be so amateurish in another. I'm not even one of those who think it has all been part of some asset-stripping conspiracy. To me, it just looks like total incompetence!
    As for the poster who welcomed you, we've lost so many regulars, it's anyone's guess. Bigmoon?

    Howdy Acido an Aucks!
    Just back from trip and seen recent result, am I surprised - not really.
    My name reflects my thoughts all things BRFC (since Venkys arrived).
    I am pretty much total opposite to Aucks in that I have had very little optimism since Nov 2011. That's a awful long time to endure 'the circus'.
    For me and all stayaways (I am not one by the way) the writing was on the wall very soon into their tenure.
    Yes we are positioned where we prob should be in sizing / pecking order of things, but it's the financial millstone around our neck that's really killing us.
    Self inflicted? No, not directly IMO. We were coasting somewhat with a reasonably tightly run ship before.
    But that was stupidly ripped asunder by the above.
    Given their 'none appearance' we could easily have eventually fallen, but at least with a manageable financial condition.
    It is now at a critical mass situation ie stick or twist.
    There is no telling what will transpire, but I can guarantee that that majority of our support will greet it with a 'well what's new' shrug of the shoulders.
    Ask half / most of BRFC support: 'who are BRFC' and you will be told Venkys. And that's the basic prob. It hasn't felt like 'our club' since they arrived.
    HNY !

    Acido - Moony was always friendly and welcoming. This site is poorer for his absence.
