I'm kind of 45/55 about their survival or not. Part of me wants them to because a local club in the top flight is good and them being there pees quite a few off, like a certain Liverpool supporter on here.
On the other hand I'm a former Blackburn fan as in fan that goes, but I still follow them as in listening to their games on the radio and looking for their results etc. Yesterday 'The Dingles' sang one song constantly throughout the match. I won't repeat the whole song but it has "Till we play bastard Rovers" in. I once asked a Burnley fan what he'd rather have, a Burnley win or a Rovers loss. He replied "a b..t.rds loss".
He even showed me a tattoo he has which says 'Ewood '85', in reference to Burnley fans part wrecking the away end at a Rovers v Burnley game in 1985. Football fans normally have tattoos celebrating their teams achievements, not their fans wrecking away ends, but that sadly seems to be the mentality of many Burnley fans.
Well they've saved a few bob on managers wages of late.
That makes Sam Allardyce's payouts for being sacked long before completion of contract look quite paltry!
I usually go to Deepdale when we play PNE. Last night I decided not to. PNE 1 Rovers 4!
So, say the deal was half way between those figures which is £15.75m and he was in charge for 22 games, I've worked it out that the cost to Everton for each of those 22 games was roughly 'a mere' £681,000!
