I would take winning a trophy and poor league campaign. Plus also got Champions league football cos of that trophy. How many Wigan fans would swapped their FA cup trophy for staying up in the Premier League? Bet not many. Plenty of Spurs fans wanted him to stay. Plenty of complementary videos on Ange bring a trophy to Spurs. Some fans want a change of course As I would expect. Q

Royal mail service is shocking poor. We are lucky if we get mail once a week. Got letters last week from middle of May. Rovers fans would be willing to deliver some leaflets in their local area for free if the club has.

Yes both PNE and Bolton in recent years hammered the Chorley area with stuff when they did their respective big early bird discounts. Doubt Rovers even bother in Accrington never mind Chorley !

Yet they're so far ahead of the teams in the division below.

Swiss Ramble posted a review today of our 2023-24 accounts in his usual highly-digestable way: https://swissramble.substack.com/p/blackburn-rovers-finances-202324 Most of it is behind a paywall, but can do a 7-day free trial to access it. I haven't read it yet myself, but perhaps can share some highlights later (although I doubt it'll say anything we don't already know!)

doubt we will see anyone coming in for a few weeks yet cant see them wanting to pay somebody just to be training.

Not anymore as you don’t need anywhere near 40 points due to the promoted three increasingly being a mile off PL quality.

Oh dear... The club should be doing promotional leaflets around Blackburn and local areas - delivered by the Royal Mail promoting them. (Include sponsors in the mailing and that will cover the costs). I have seen a few clubs really push the season tickets like this with good returns. (I have fed this idea into the club a few times).

Yes - one of best signings - good times!

Yes - 22 league defeats, which in every other season of the PL would have seen them relegated.

Not saying that, just basing the 11 of the players we currently have in the squad, plus Batth who they said they want to keep (not that I think we will at this stage)

Did he promise to have the lowest points per game ratio of any of the last 5 Spurs managers, despite being the 3rd highest net spenders in the league for the last 2 seasons? Or that they'd be a defensive shambles, conceding the 2nd highest amount of goals for any team outside the bottom 3? Ultimately, Spurs have been dismal in the league all season, his excuse of giving up on the league doesn't wash because they were poor from the off. It's just a weak excuse to cover his failings in the League. Most of the season Spurs fans have been calling for his head. If all he wants is to win trophies in tournament football, he'd probably be better suited to International management. He's a poor Premier League manager, obviously the Spurs board/chairman are looking at the bigger picture and not just focusing on the trophy win as a reason to keep him on again. Their Premier League campaign was embarrassing. Like Ten Hag at Utd, the Trophy win just papers over the cracks.

We have been a team lacking pace and physicality since we got relegated from the premier league. I think bigger stronger and fitter teams are far better to watch.

We sold 9,100 last summer, this time we were ‘over 8,000’ at the end of phase 1 and I doubt we’ve sold many since. I imagine we’ll probably have limped to 8 thousand and something by KO… another sterling effort all round, bonuses well earned 👏

Whatever it looks like just send Brittain and Travis (presuming they are still here) to pose in front of John Lewis’ grave, job done.

Christ, Matty- that involves some effort, they won't go for that!

Anyone know how the season tickets are going compared to last year?

Beck will be the toughest of acts to follow. This guys on a hiding to nothing if he signs on as a LB. He has no reputation as a defensive back and if it's left sided pace Gestedes after then what's the point when you have Kargbo in front of him. If it's a signing for cover then maybe given Picks injury record but then that's what Hedges is for isn't it, I can't say I'm anything like excited by this [rumoured, potential, possible, definite maybe] signing (assuming we get the registration papers submitted in time of course).

Putting Barry Ferguson in his greatest Rovers side is certainly a choice!

To be fair, it is a good way of helping the smaller local clubs - £2k (or whatever fee is agreed) soon adds up and helps their budget.

Did he get a run out?

But nobody dared to tell him!
