Never thought I'd see the day!

Got Everton at home in a friendly today. As annoying as it is that what was an average Premiership fixture a couple of years ago is now some sort of 'prestigious' friendly, I'm going.

yeah its a shame really we were prem for ages. In brief Venkys our new owners came in hired kean and didn't sack him, then last season in the championship we had 5 managers last season at various points and finished 17th really hoping for better this season !

I do like the soap opera caused by your owners so this thread should be good.

ha ha you may like the soap opera I wish I liked it as much I cant believe some of their decisions and even the people they have hired don't know what their doing. The fact they hardly ever turn up in England either dosent exactly help. Not to mention the fact they wouldn't sack Kean all season and then 5 managers in one season ..

Roque went to the same school as me and was a member here about 2008, iirc. A bit controversial at times.

We were poor today. We couldn't get near Everton and they were only playing at about 70%, 80% imo. Shows how far we've fallen. A comfortable Premiership club destroyed by clueless Indians and one drunken Scotsman. Makes me sick.

Nope don't think so haha, will watch Derby on TV and then I don't fancy a midweek trek up to Carlisle haha. Fair play to you though that's a good effort!

I really really want Blackburn back in Premier League. I don't know if they've got chances this season.
Oh and your manager is the former player Lee Bowyer?

Yeah I do I really hope we can at least give a good challenge this season. As we finished 17th last season even though the table was very close.

No its Gary Bowyer he was the manger of our youth team and was caretaker manger twice last season and did very well, only been given a 12 month contract though.

Quick wiki check says Lee Bowyer is still a player but hasn't played after being released by Ipswich last summer.

He was quite decent at times for NUFC, even if his main memory will be of fighting Kieron Dyer in the middle of a game.

Do you consider guys Blackburn as a fallen giant/big club going through cycles? I'm asking this because a mate of mine is a huge Blackburn fan and we had an argument at the end of which I came to the conclusion that he's deluded.

Well we've been pretty successful since the start of the Premiership in 92, title win, couple of top 4 finishes, couple of other top 6 and a League Cup win. So it's pretty annoying how all the hard work to keep us as a solid, mid-table Premiership club was just thrown away in the space of two years.

BUT we're a town club, and many would say that bottom half Championship or something is a natural level for a town club without a huge fanbase - which is around the level we were on average before Jack Walker.

Like I said though it's just annoying what's happened given how comfortable we were in the Premiership. It's gonna be very hard to return there too - city clubs with a much bigger fanbase like Leeds and Notts Forest have found it impossible for years upon years now.

He got released at the start of summer. He barely played after about October last season, I liked him but he'd have been on a fair hefty wage.
