We could all bring our watering cans!!

He is a club plant - The things he spouts is what you'd expect SP or RG to say.

Still a very sizeable number within Ewood too of that mindset, don’t let the chants fool anybody.

I never go on X. However I went on for 5 minutes yesterday, I saw a Rovers 'fan' stoic something or other telling people nobody's ever bid for us and we aren't a club people would buy. I nearly broke my phone. With fans like that who needs enemies. Up there with "nothing special about Blackburn Rovers". Wouldn't even accept that people may have bid as it wasn't in public domain. I was a bit naive to the scale of Venkys euphoria on social media.

… and this is why we have to educate people. Education, education, education as a politician once said. I think that if people can see an alternative, they’ll soon start changing their mindset.

The people in charge at the Rovers, will not know what you mean.

It makes me angry thinking about them, they picked up a stable premier club, made disgusting decisions and took awful advice and got it relegated to the championship and just left it to rot and go to league one, sell the club

I'm pretty sure the 125th anniversary was also commemorated the 2000/01 season. I can't speak to the earlier ones as I wasn't born. If we were formed in November 1875 then that would have been during the 1875/76 season which would mean that celebrating 00/01 and 25/26 makes the most sense. Thought I don't know whether they had official 'seasons' at that point as there was only exhibition games and the cup which was annual. We only formally existed for ~2 months of 1875, so it makes less sense to celebrate in the 10 months prior.

Yep.. And I think it is even worse than that. It's like some awful psychological symptom of Stockholm syndrome. Victims internalising the messages from the abusers. "This is our lot. No-one can save us. We have reached our natural level. There can never be a way out. Living in this nightmare is predictable at least. It is who we are..." Bastard Venky's and parasites OUT!

You see the difference in Gudjohnsen when he gains confidence during a match - it's like a switch flicks and he's a different player. Hopefully as he becomes more settled at the club we'll see that consistently across matches as opposed to short bursts. Whilst as it stands I still I don't consider De Neve to be up to standard, I will say that he has the footballing intelligence that a player like Kargbo lacks. He generally understands when to run and what position to be in to receive dangerous passes. That will cause some problems for the opposition, even though much of it will be squandered for numerous reasons. Hedges has had years to show he's anything above average and has never come close to doing so outside of the occasional match here and there. Don't think that's a case of 'card marked' as much as the reality of what he's capable of on a regular basis.

It's a good question, I don't know. I'm saddened there hasn't been a more cutting response. Maybe there will be.

Look at mess at Lyon.

Not sure about that, ‘sort it out’ definitely, but not ‘sacked in the morning’. But regardless, long time since a manager has seen Ewood turn.

I think a lot of the crowd chanted for him to go during the Boro game last season iirc and poss the Sheff Weds game. He hasn't reached the level of vitriol I have for SK or even Coyle, I don't think any manager will make me feel like SK did. At the moment he's at the Paul Ince threshold with me - rubbish, clueless and arrogant. I want him gone but at the same time I'm frightened about what happens after that, still a roll of the dice under these lot.

He owns like 3/4 clubs so wouldn’t want him to take us over (but a lot better than venkys), just want an owner who cares and has the best interest of Blackburn rovers and its community

Hope John Textor isn't one of those bidders. https://www.nytimes.com/athletic/6740730/2025/10/27/wolves-john-textor-bid/

It's all a bit confusing. From this it looks like the 50th season was 1924/25 and the centenary season was definitely 1974/75. So the 150th season was 2024/25. So we have switched from celebrating the number of seasons played to the number of years since formation ? Presumably the club played a season before its 1st birthday and we are now in season 151 ?

They are lazy, throwaway comments from supporters who haven't done any research.

“Who will buy us” “look at the likes of bury” “they are keeping us afloat” “we’re punching above our weight” “we should be grateful for them” “they cover the lack of income due to bad revenue” “they put 20 million a year in”. Sure I am missing a few others, these narratives I see from people on X need rubbishing, a club with rich history and nobody will buy it? this club has lost its way due to these owners and THEIR bad decisions, why should we accept this sh*te because of them.

While the tannoy plays 'Eton Rifles' I presume

‘But, but crowds’’ ‘Bury’, ‘20 million a year!’

I agree with most of this. I do think Gudjohnsen is getting a bit of disservice at present. The service to our strikers has not been the best. The chances we have are good, but usually that final ball is less than perfect, which has meant we have missed out

If I was just going with mates etc I wouldn't be going. But as I take the kids I begrudgingly go. I have however stopped buying on concourse
