Totally agree Parsons about your point on the Beauty of History evolving but here's the rub,incorrect info can suddenly become gospel,Chinese Whispers and nothing more. I am lucky enough to own a very rare copy of the Clubs official 'Grand Bizzare' Book dated 1895.This may be of interest to you,also note the year of our formation( I posted a thread about this a few years ago)...

Somehow we ended up on the precipice of that a couple of times in the last 3 years then look whats happened. Not backed then pulled to bits and that for younger or happy clapper viewers is why nobody has any hope left. There's nothing natural or cyclical about it it's largely manufactured due to the people running the club and those owning it. Anybody who doesn't at least acknowledge that regardless of where they stand in the grand scheme of things really needs to take a step back and look again.

Usual Rovers MO these days. If they don't like a question, take their bat and ball home/doctor the response/ ban whoever asked the question.

Think I saw something in Jackson's latest LT article before the pay wall kicked in that we are ELEVEN points worse off than we were at the same stage last season under Eustace. So it's both. Yes the squad's weaker but the Head Coach is infinitely worse as well.

Wednesday have used a projector to put messages like the one above on the home end, breaking no laws, good idea.

That’s not the news you wanted to hear, I’m sure. Let’s hope for some better news after your next scan. Remember, we’re all thinking of you and wishing you well. Take care.

Too many fans who inexplicably see Venky's as good owners, and have such contempt for the club they purport to love that they genuinely think Blackburn Rovers is of no interest to anybody else.

I know you’re not asking the question literally, but without owners that are willing to sell, we can’t do a bleeding thing about it. The Wednesday situation has come about relatively quickly, the owner has had financial trouble for around 12months and this is the final outcome. We on the other hand have been on the receiving end of this lot since 2011, apathy reigns and they keep paying the bills, stalemate. My hope is, this season has seen what we believe to be cost cutting across the club, I hope the bastards are running out of ready cash and we too will slip into administration, because nothing improves whilst those swine’s own this grand old club. VENKYS OUT – NOTHING ELSE MATTERS.

Either the squad is not as good as last season, or the problem lies with him. It's one or the other.

Hes rattled, everyone (bar chaddy) wants him gone, hes spouting shit in the (already diluted) media to neither expose his own shortcomings or those above him. But he neednt be. Hes safe as houses because hes at a club whose issues are those who own and run it who will accept such poor standards.

This time last season we were 6th, Val. Hadn't lost at home yet. If the squad is not worse this season, then where do we place the blame? Oh. Stupid analysis indeed.

Fair play to them for doing what they did and more importantly for getting the media attention too. It is time for us to act too.

The minutes of the early meetings only came to light when someone showed me the 1909 programme which contained them. I've never seen any reference to shirts during that first season apart from those contained in the minutes. That's the beauty of history, it continues to evolve as more and more primary source material comes to light.

No, not a lackey at all.

There you go, recent boycott "increased the financial pressure on the club". This is probably the only way Venky's ever leave, without administration. The clubs hierarchy are desperate to relieve the financial burden off the owners. For Rovers, it sems unlikely we'd manage to get a full boycott like Wednesday did other night but fans are clearly voting with their feet anyway as crowds are down.

Deary me… When quizzed about pressure on his role, the Blackburn Rovers head coach gave a prickly response to BBC Radio Lancashire. "Listen, can we speak about the game tomorrow, or I'll stop now. I can see everything, I can read everything. “No, I don't admit the squad is not as good as last season. It's a stupid analysis," Ismael said when asked if the squad had regressed in terms of quality.

Mike Jackman,Blackburn Rovers : The complete Record published 2009.. " The choice of club colours also had its roots in the public School background which so many of its members shared. Both of the Hargreaves brothers and Doc Greenwood were old Malvernians,and it was decided to copy their quartered shirt design,but to replace the traditional green with Cambridge blue." There is no reference in any of Mikes fantastic Books to this fictitious White Jersey. Total Hearsay and nothing more imo.

i just want the club to be run properly again with a modicum of ambition

This weekends games for our loanees 3pm Saturday O'Riordan - score/update Barrett - score/update Olson & O'Grady-Macken - score/update Edmondson - score/update Pratt - score/update Wood - score/update Farkas - score/update Play on Monday Duru - score/update

Well, after a doctor transfers the system goes quiet for a month 🙄 I've just returned from Deriford where I've just had the results from the end of August scan (should be within 2 weeks!) despite my phone calls trying to get through to the right department. (Got to say this is the first anomaly in the excellent care I've had there for 2 years). Anyway, after the 2 tears of immunotherapy my tumour shrank from 27mm to 23mm to 8mm to 7mm. 🏆 However, it's now back at 11mm so after my next scan, hopefully November! depending on results I will then have to start radio or chemotherapy. Hey ho 🙄

"Entering administration was the inevitable outcome of years of financial mismanagement, a lack of accountability, and repeated failures to engage credible buyers. Administration is not something to be celebrated. It needn't have ended this way. But we are overjoyed to have Dejphon Chansiri out of our club for good. "Administration represents a necessary turning point. With the club now totally out of Chansiri's hands, this may be the first step to getting our Wednesday back. It closes an era defined by poor decisions and deep divisions, both on and off the pitch. Once Hillsborough is recovered from his ownership, Chansiri's influence will finally be consigned to history, a regrettable chapter in Sheffield Wednesday's long and storied history. "We understand that this news will bring uncertainty and anxiety about what lies ahead. Yet there is every reason for calm optimism. "The appointed administrators are highly experienced professionals, including one who has been a Sheffield Wednesday season ticket holder for decades. The Trust has already opened dialogue with them and will play a full part in safeguarding the long-term survival and sustainable future of our club. Anyone else feeling a little bit jealous of them?

Another good article. https://www.skysports.com/football/news/11688/13456407/sheffield-wednesday-championship-club-file-for-administration

"Like many football clubs, it has been trading at a significant loss for many years, with those losses historically funded by the owner. Mr Chansiri is no longer willing to provide that financial support. "While the recent fan boycott has not directly caused the insolvency, it has increased financial pressure on the club. As a result, the owner has chosen to place the club into administration. "Supporters are the backbone of any football club. The money they spend at the gate and in the ground is vital. I've been a season ticket holder since 1984 and know first-hand the passion of this fanbase. "Now, more than ever, we need fans back in the ground - buying tickets, merchandise, pies and pints. Every penny spent will go directly to supporting the day-to-day running of this club, not to the former owner or professional costs. This will help stabilise the club while we secure a suitable buyer." More to get behind and support there and more understanding, transparency and faith in those running the club than we've had in 15 years here.

Within hours of going into administration workers were at Hillsborough ripping out the 'Chansiri' letters from the North Stand to expunge traces of his regime. Oh for that to happen at Ewood. What I would give to see photographs and videos of people at Ewood dismantling the 'Venkys' advertising boards and removing all visible traces of their wicked regime.
