We're clearly all passionate about the Club and how crap the last 15 years has been under venkys, imagine if we all put our heads together for something united 👍🏻 💙🤍

Bloody well hope not. He's still shit even if he's played slightly better since we switched to 3-5-2.

So then, why won't they pay the going rate for established Championship players anymore?

Nope. And still waiting in vain for this "We usually seem to pull out a win when we really need it" type victory. (Although I appreciate you've changed your mind and now only think we'll beat Wednesday 🙂 )

In bottom 3, he needs sacking but we know we aren’t a serious club so he’ll continue to do what he is told by the regime and be the yes man he was appointed to be. Pathetic excuse of a manager.

Oh, I'd wish they'd go tomorrow. If someone has the money and the will to take us on they can step forward this week. They can see the situation, there is literally nothing stopping them making an approach, that's if someone hasn't done so already, and has been turned down.

Don't see it that way whatsoever, but there you go. It may well have worked with other owners, but it's the difference between wanting to and having to.

Genuinely can't see anyone being worse owners. Surely anyone taking us on will of learnt from the last 15 years

Forced to get rid. So we end up in administration. You obviously see that as too high a risk as presumably you see somebody even worse than these club wreckers turn up. It’s a possibility, I suppose, but then so is somebody emerging to grab this club by its bootstraps.

You keep making a similar point, that one of the problems is Venky's are so rich they don't need to sell and also won't be starved out etc etc...... Well, seemingly, they aren't so FU rich that they are still either able, or perhaps more pertinently, willing, to pay the going rate for established Championship players anymore! So I think further reductions in revenue will be relevant. To me there's clearly a limit to their annual funding that they are not willing to go beyond and it seems to be getting steadily less and less all the time.

All part of the same issue, the problem is Venkys aren't a distressed seller,which then influences any approach from a potential buyer. If someone comes in now, I'd be confident that they had the funds and will required. If Venkys were forced to just get rid of the club, I'd be extremely worried about any potential takeover. As I said the other week, the club doesn't have to be put up for sale for someone to buy it, a takeover in that situation would be much more preferable.

Absolutely. It just makes us look ridiculous. Christ, if the IMPROVED bid was £1.5m, what must the first bid have been like? Im surprised other Clubs bother even picking the phone up when we ring.

PSR rules are obviously a load of shit. But they hide behind that but if you look at it, they have also snookered themselves somewhat. They wasted big money on players like Elanga and Ramsey. They also got involved in strange deals like signing a random Greek goalkeeper for a significant fee as part of the Anderson deal to Forest.

Nowhere have I said the boycotters are to blame for supporter division. I've criticised the boycott and rationalised everything. You are totally wrong to interpret it that way.

It's rather more a hope than an expectation in my case on the basis that it's becoming an increasingly odd look for the 2 stooges if they don't act. Ill carry on banging the drum on a daily basis though because I dont want us to go down without a whimper. Imo if we don't get an absolute minimum return of 4 points from the next two home homes our fate will be sealed and I dont think Ismael will get them. Should have gone long ago, but given he didn't the preparatory work should have been done to allow him to be sacked immediately following yesterday's game (where a boycott was being called) and give someone else a chance of getting a decent return from the next 2 games.

newcastle having a poor season,can`t understand why they don`t just ignore this profit and loss rule and cheat the rule like man city have,they can`t be short of money with who owns them

I was incorrect (I assumed he was someone else) But he’s just got them a point vs Southampton 😞

Yet a quick scan of the other site will see numerous examples of where you've liked posts from other contributors being extremely abusive towards people who support the call for a boycott or of the organisers in particular.

I’m always happy to debate on here - in hopefully a grown up manner. The last 4000 Holes podcast for instance, I said I’d make the case against the boycott because I thought it was a good intellectual exercise to rehearse how the boycott might be challenged by others with different viewpoints. I’m not remotely bothered by what is posted elsewhere TBH as there’s bugger all I can do about that - but if someone is civil on here & wants a debate I think that’s what this forum is for…& I’m happy to engage at face value 🤷‍♂️

Of course he should, who’s saying otherwise? The point being away from here there is still an expectation that he will be sacked any day now.

The difference would seem to be they can beat the odd team in and around them. We just cannot seem to do that. Beating Sheff Weds at home would be a start.

If they own the business then all the money that business generates belongs to the shareholders of that business (net of any tax etc) for them to use as they deem fit. If the shareholders (owners) then elect not to provide additional share capital/directors loans because income (& cash flow) has increased (albeit temporarily) then that is their choice. Ultimately, all the money in Blackburn Rovers Football & Athletic Ltd “belongs” to the shareholders…i.e. ultimately Venky’s.

You said it was negotiation. I'm saying it's public relations. We have no intention of buying this player.

Irrespective of that he SHOULD still be gone though (and a long time ago) so Id expect anyone with half a brain cell to be saying that rather than "It doesnt matter because we don't operate like a normal Club." It does matter. Massively.
