The timing suggests to me that he's not the 'hot property' he and his agent thought he might be. Championship teams are at least 2 weeks into their pre season and you think Dolan would be a 'low hanging fruit' and easy to pick.

Poster above this, had nailed it, but to confirm- I never rated Steve Waggott at all, but I still think he had more about him than Suhail Pasha, so that should hopefully clear up any doubt about my feelings on Suhail Pasha. Now where’s that clip of Mick McCarthy? https://youtu.be/Kou3MoGuvEM?si=vegEICGfMjn7w8wp

Putting Money on it. Just feels like we're in real danger,for the third successive time in a row,of our Manager packing it in because the same mistakes at Boardroom level are being made yet again! Its just fecking unbelievable..the warning signs are there for all to see.

Because hes only in mid July not yet decided on his next move having rejected our no doubt pitiful offer? He must have been "sold a fairytale?" I dont get why this narrative has grown legs like it has.

Ismael seems a lot more fiery than Eustace or JDT and they eventually lost it with the club. I can see him having a full meltdown pre-xmas slating Pasha and Rudy as to why we are down the bottom, fielding 16yr olds as we have no squad depth and having protests at the ground.

IMO, in his post match interviews at Stanley, although refreshingly honest, his body language told me he was already p1ssed-off. I think you are right, he wont take the current shambles lying down - just a repetition of what happened with JDT and Eustace.

Secret Affair - Time For Action

If a championship club is taking him they will be trying to agree a fee with Rovers rather than letting it go to tribunal .He won't be a "free" for a championship club With the amount of appearances made it will easily be over a million if it goes to tribunal more if someone is offering Dolan a decent contract as his salary at his new club will be taken into account If the tribunal are setting his price

Elvis Costello And The Attractions - Clown Time Is Over

He looked to be more suited to a midfield role to me.

It'll be more than he's been offered at Ewood and that's what counts.

I think that's why K- Hod said what he did about it not being high praise. I think Pasha is as bad as it gets, with no clue on how to run a football club, no concept of how the cost cutting impacts on the chances of the team and is also frightened to death of confrontation Waggott was all you describe and probably a bit more, but Pasha is a whole lot worse and a whole lot more devious and damaging.

“We want to reduce of our players, we have a clear profile of player that we want. Young, very athletic, players who are very able to give us that intensity. Technically as well, to give us possibilities with the ball.“ yeah right, with no money to buy these players. As we used to say … if that’s a viable plan I’ll show my arse in Woolworths window.

You know it’s bad when Nixon doesn’t even have a fake story

I'll take your word for it but I struggle to get my head round the concept that anyone could possibly come over worse than Waggott. Always came over like a dodgy second hand car salesman and all you ever seemed to get out of him at the meetings was either a reason why something couldn't be done or "We weren't aware of that" or "We'll look into it".

Have to laugh. Ismael wanting 90% of business done by pre season starting was the first target, huge fail. Ismael wanting the trip to Spain to be later this summer than previous ones so all the new signings could go on it. Two full backs from a relegated Belgian side and a midfielder who can't even take part in it are the only ones through the door. Another huge fail.

Appreciate the time and effort everyone makes attending these meetings, but just on the above (and forgive my ignorance), why can't these meetings be recorded as a video so that fans can in fact see the full drama unfold? Perhaps there would be some audio challenges, but I presume speakers are given a microphone to air their thoughts and grievances? Or is this not allowed?

Not sure he's the answer at right back. If he's come through the ranks as a midfielder, he's more likely to end up the new JRC. I remember Travis being a right back for a while before going back into the middle.

Imagine we’ll be seeing the away kit on Friday, looks like the club have started to tease it by showing clips of famous Blackburn landmarks, so far we’ve had corporation park and the train station! What’s next, the ice arena? Got to think it’ll be a yellow away kit this year but not sure how that will tie in, maybe it’s a link to the iconic yellow of the Ewood McDonald’s logo

Oh well, because it failed once, might as well not bother trying again then?

Dave Davies - Death Of A Clown

I don’t know if any of the information in this article, was provided by the FF or coalition, but it sums things up nicely. https://therealefl.co.uk/2025/07/16/blackburn-rovers-deserve-better-than-this-ownership-farce/

Seems a nice kid actually, very grounded and speaks well, think he's got a bit over-excited there though. Like any professional footballer, if he progresses well and there's interest (and more money) further up the pyramid he'll be gone.

This will soon change.
