I'd taken you line of "I also don’t think you get people to engage with you by taking that approach, but I’m not or never will be involved in any of this because of the sheer time it must take up." to mean get people (at the club) to engage. However you mean people of different opinions across the fan group. In which case I agree with you to some degree.

What makes me sad is that many of us may not be around to celebrate 175 years. This is what you get when you have non Rovers supporting shysters running our Club. The famous Blackburn Rovers has put this Town the map more than anything I can think of these last 150 yeas,it deserves so,so much better.

Honestly if we tie up this last couple of deals and then it's premier league loans for the remaining spaces so be it - wouldn't be my first choice but it does at least look like we are going to meet the bare minimum standard of starting the season with a moderately balanced squad with players in every position and I really did not think we'd achieve that at the end of last season. Whether the players we have brought in are up to it remains to be seen.

Australian fan here. Very happy we've signed Miller. He's been one of our better players internationally recently. Australia play 5 at the back and he's regularly played as the right wide/wing back, so he's no stranger to getting up the pitch. It looks like he was used differently at Hibs, but he's probably a bit more versatile than he's been given credit for.

If, after 2 days of waiting , we don't get an Axel F (Henriksson) Crazy Frog related reveal, I will be disappointed

I’ve never spoken to Mike, I’ve read his posts on here and I watched his address (and the full trust video) but I just couldn’t help but feel put off getting involved. I appreciate that the work they’ve done hasn’t come off like we and they want, and I know it’s not the trust or anyone from the FF or WATR etc - it’s all down to the club, I get that but need to stress it again!… I felt put off getting involved because of the sheer negativity, “the he said she said, we did this, they took credit etc” If I’m having that response - someone who cares deeply for the club, then it’s obvious to me that it would disengage many other fans too. Surely we need them all onside to change the ownership? The “demanding Rudy, Steve and Pasha don’t come to the games”, another thing I just thought a stupid response and easy to turn back on the fan group. I don’t know the answers, I don’t have solutions - but I thought a pertinent thing to add since that’s how I felt. Getting the majority of rovers fans to engage with these groups surely requires a different approach.

This required a laughing emoji reaction because I agree 😂

Henriksson will be Cantwell competition. Expecting Baradj to get done eventually. Just seems like they want him badly. From there a RW and a CB and we’ll be set. Wouldn’t surprise me if the CB was a prem loan.

I used to think “ thank god he’s only on loan. “ quite a lot.

Also are you sat at home going “thank god that guy cost 1.25m and not 750k”…?

I’d tend to agree with that the only issue is the figures that are being quoted are coming from the other clubs journalists and reporters not just Nixon/elliot

Beat me to it.

Honestly I’ve never read such a paranoid load of waffle, if you’d left it at the first sentence it would’ve made sense. They just employ people poor at their jobs ffs, and there isn’t a fan in Blackburn who would give a fuck about a player being 1m or 2m in cost. We give a fuck about how good they are. Nobody ever cared that Nzonzi was less then a million, or the fees we paid for the likes of Nelsen, Samba etc - they where revered because they played well.

As was Brearley and the midfield player from Forest who’s name I forget.

As was Ethan Brierley and Lewis O'Brien

Duncan McGuire was in Lancashire .....

I think if that happens that would hurt to see tbh. Him leaving will but to Derby put of every player we've let go trav would smart a bit ngl

I don't class finishing 7th in the championship as a good outcome for Blackburn Rovers.

He's in Lancashire so we've got him

Haha yes agreed what a legend but how about more under this regime or dictatorship or however you see it hedges was rated highly and took ages to sort out and he has been significantly underwhelming

Definitely not.

instead it all goes to his partner. As I said, he is quite good

Was hoping Axel Henriksson would have been announced by now. Reckon JDT has had a word with him?!!

The owners don't do anything. They don't care, never have, never will. But they don't like it when they and their subordinates attract attention in the media. They think they are gods and expect to be thanked and revered as such. Their underlings want the status quo to continue as it keeps them in cushy and lucrative employment. The best way for them to ensure that their gravy train ride continues is to keep the owners under the impression that all is well and everyone is happy, and the best way of conning the fanbase into believing that is by making out as though the owners are backing the club, investing, wanting it to do better. No evidence for any of it, as they couldn't really care less about what happens at the club, but costs nothing for the stooges to drip exaggerated figures to people like Nixon and Jackson, and in return they get the deluded fans lapping it up, maybe even buying tickets off the back of it to help with their annual figures.

Any defender would look better next to a leader. But even when he plays well, he seems immune to praise, instead it all goes to his partner. We finished 7th.
