Are you happy with the current owners? If not, how do you propose the fan base unite and protest together?

They were averaging only a point a match even when a virtually full squad was avaliable until mid-October. No reason to suppose it'll be even as good as that in the second half of the season.

We were shite they were just as shite. We barely created any chances. Gave the ball away numerous times. Two shite teams

He looks like a little schoolboy who's wandered into a man's game. Him and Cantwell give the ball away for fun.

Left wingback is a glaring weakness but Ismael doesn't seem to be bothered by it. DeNeve is useless offering absolutely nothing going forward and a total liability defensively. Venkys clearly aren't the least bit bothered by relegation if they won't fund a replacement for Hedges who won't be back until the final match of the season at best. The budget and cutting losses is everything. Little wonder they are utterly despised by the what remains of the fan base.

Glen, sorry to hear the bad news about one of your parents. Hope the surgery has been successful and recovery is good. Horrible situation for all the family. Puts football firmly into perspective. Life is a precious privilege but sadly so fragile. Take care.

Sounds like depression and anger So basically the same as those that oppose it No ones defended the owners? Sickening... really? I'm comfortable with putting up with it. Depends how you feel and what you manifest?

A week of the window left… any inbound players linked?

We are literally in the top 12 for all time football league 😂😂

Usual planted bull shit that we've heard a dozen times before in the last decade although nice to see you 'got real' and altered 20 mill a season to 15 mill a season. If a club gets promoted from this league it wipes those losses out and resets itself financially if done properly but to do that it needs running correctly and funding not massively but sustainable investment year on year on the operation. If it doesn't get those two basic principles it goes backwards bit by bit all across the operation and the loses become more and more until it drops into oblivion regardless of '15 mill a season'. That's where we are at and it's the opposite of entitlement to point it out, it's called realism. On the 1990 to 2010 point Blackburn Rovers is about the 12th most regular top flight team in English history which makes your assertion bollocks.

Particularly impressed by Cashin today. Takes some mental strength to bounce straight back after the start he had. Used his body well to make up for his lack of of pace. Must be on the same diet as John McGinn.

What I don’t get is the people coming on here criticising those fans who boycotted today, and with the next breath defending the owners who’ve had their own boycott going on for the last decade or so.

You've literally copied and pasted this from something. Seems suspicious.

Absolutely spot on. The 'fans' wanting to call it a flop are better off not supporting Rovers in my eyes, and don't even have the clubs interest at heart.

They bought a club that had lost a few million pounds over the previous 5 years. Every penny they’ve had to put in is as a result of their own incompetence. I echo your final sentence.

The club is quite simply on its knees and I'm supposed to be grateful that they're providing just enough money to not see their investment taken away from them by administrators? Fuck them.

13th most points, 14th most matches. Suggests our ‘natural position’ is mid-table PL - roughly where we were when Venkys appeared. 🤔🤔

Fans also aren't demanding instant success, we're demanding owners who care about the club as much as we do, owners who come to games, owners who employ the best possible people they can afford and find to run the club, people with the right experience. I've never been able to think of one single thing about the football club that is in any way better than it was in 2010 when they took over. They haven't improved a single thing by any measure. Everything is either the same or worse, most things are worse. How can people be happy with that approach and attitude? Cheap, cheerful, bargain basement, horrible approach which has humiliated us and taken the pride out of supporting the club.

Dear boy we're not going nowhere fast, we're going downwards fast. You're making the mistake of assuming the goal is Premier League football; "where we belong". I defy you to find one poster who has claimed such. I have seen many who have said they would rather we were lower in the pyramid with engaged, passionate owners. Your lack of comprehension of the ultimate goal of the coalition is the problem here, not the ambition of the coalition.

Most of these claims have been debunked hundreds of times on these threads in the last twelve months. Not going there again. "Rovers 1990-2010 was not our natural position in the football pyramid, its not what we deserved, its what we were gifted." The football league has been going for 137 years and for 72 of those we've been in the top flight. I think we've got the 16th most top flight points in league history. We've won trophies in three different centuries, we were the first club to do so. We were one of the best teams in the world in the 19th century, pioneers of the sport. One of the best teams in the country during in the 1910s, the 1950s and 60s, one of the best teams around in the 1990s. But that's not our natural position, we should be accepting mediocrity? We should be grateful to be scrapping round the bottom of the second division, that's our natural level? No thanks. Small unfashionable town maybe but a football club that has some incredible history and records that 90% of other clubs would kill for. I won't be settling for League One shite, just coz we were also shite for a bit on the 70s.

The combination of smug self satisfaction and hand wringing over potential outcomes makes your posts difficult in the extreme to stomach. I don't know why you're here other than to attempt to shit on the efforts of people who care about the club. Keep going to Ewood, please. Just save us from whatever point you're trying to make.

There’s a lot wrong with this post. I’m unsure how Blackburn Rovers is the worst club in English football club to grow. I’d need to see some compelling evidence behind that one. There’s clubs in far worse positions than us, even after 15 years of chronic negligence If wanting better than the dross Venkys produce is entitled then that is a badge I will gladly wear In the 23/24 season Championship clubs ran losses of £411m which is around £17m on average. I’m fairly certain last year we were one of the only clubs to avoid a loss Your arguments don’t stack up to any sort of scrutiny to be honest. Fairly poor post

We need an Armstrong like striker that has some pace and stretch the field. The counter style with the 4-2-3-1 is the way but need to get some pace in the team badly.

It's a bizarre angle in something you ought to think people would be unified in but no, just purely bizarre

I just don't know who people are expecting us to beat to get ourselves out of trouble. We've already proven we can't beat the teams around us - we have literally not taken three points from any of them. The idea that we'll somehow beat the better teams in the league to stay up seems very fanciful. We may get the odd shock win and some draws here and there, but that isn't going to be enough. We looked utterly doomed as things stand.
