Strewth, he’s back again with who would buy Blackburn Rovers. The same day, confirmed big money investment interest in Preston and we see little old Wrexham scoring two late goals to further cement their credentials for a place at the top table.

Read that story before !

1 point isn't enough. 1 win in 14 isn't enough. Yeah we got better players back but we still didn't really create any kind of attacking play, and it's that that is going to see us down at the end of the season. In isolation sure, the point looks alright on paper. Unfortunately, we're not in a position where "in isolation" draws help us.

I can't believe there are people think that the club dropping 25% of its fan base isn't a big deal. It was an absolutely excellent first step along, what could be, a very long road.

Exactly my thoughts. Hopefully relegation this time means the end of the regime.

As long as everybody in football thinks the club isn’t for sale there won’t be any prospective buyers. The fact that the Chicken Chokerd have knocked back previous approaches will be well known in football circles.

1 win in 14 is almost a third of a season. How in God’s name is this guy under zero pressure? I mean, we know the answer but it’s absolutely infuriating.

Sorry to hear about your Parent. Hope all is as well as could be expected For me, its needs to be a co-ordinated and fairly relentless schedule of different types of protest. Don't let up. And you also imo need to try and co-ordinate some fund raising efforts to give you some fighting funds.

Thoughts and prayers with you and the family, Glen and hopefully, they will pull through.

Surprised it’s so quiet on this thread. I said in the match thread that IMO things will be worse by Monday evening - I fear resignation seems to be setting in. We’ll be adrift before long - we simply cannot win a football match.

No,but a definite improvement. No need to point to the negative every time eh? Still looked decidedly toothless with Ohashi needing a rest and the top scorer out, but who wouldn't miss their top scorer. One the whole, thoroughly deserved a draw against a team in decent form,and a comeback draw at that.

The police numbers don’t lie, thousands stayed away and to my mind, it has been extremely well observed.

correct

It was Morishtas turn to be absolutely diabolical today

The boycott being "decent enough" for you is no good. No good. If it was to truly work, it had to be "decent enough" to those that will give it traction. The media. The owners (recognising it as a sign). Or whoever else it's supposed to bring attention to. You are already in support of it. So what good is it if it's just good enough for you? It's not swaying anybody's opinion to alter the course of history. Who would be willing to take on the burden of our losses? Even with a bumped number of ST holders (let's say that would happen with new owners), you're still staring annual losses of several million or more a season just by standing still, as well as keeping onside with FFP rules and avoiding points deductions and fines. So who is going to take that on? I keep hearing "Venky's won't sell". I don't know who is close enough to them over in India to know that first-hand, but forget that for a moment... Where is the queue of buyers? I really doubt any business-minded person with "ambitious" intentions would think we're a profit-making project to have at. If the owners weren't paying players and bills, I'd feel differently. Scoff. Call it a low bar. But the ingredients particular to Sheff Wed, for example, aren't there. At least they had absolute full validity and full support to put on a full boycott. Their owners were not keeping to their financial obligations. 15 years on, despite our downfall being of the Venky's own making, they are still, at the very least, standing up to their financial obligations. Nobody can deny that unless they were not paying the bills. There is simply no validity or wider acceptance for a boycott in our case. It was never in a million years going to get external support because the elements are simply not their for wider sympathy, recognition, and so on. You can feel sorry for yourselves about it, but until you have an Oyston or a Chansiri TRULY witholding the dosh from people that are owed it, a boycott that results in a few thousand less than a normal attendance is going to do absolutely nothing.

I hate Venkyclappers more than Burnley. Burnley fans hate Rovers and would love nothing more than for us to lose every single week and fall through the leagues, that feeling goes both ways. Given that, does it strike any of the Venkyclappers as unusual that every single time we've played Burnley in the last 15 years, they've spent half the game chanting about how much they love the Venkys and waving Indian flags at us? "But they're keeping us going, no one else would put the money in, FFP etc. They're doing their best, no one else would buy us, no one else could do better" Yeah that's why Burnley fans wave the Indian flags and chant about them every time we play then.

Haven’t even properly caught up but if anyone is calling that ‘not a bad point’ then they’re an idiot. We simply have to be winning winnable games at home right now - it’s our only hope of getting out of this mess. I have a feeling things will be looking even worse by Monday evening.

Says everything when Foreshaw is significantly better than both Tavare and Henrikson.. significantly better too.

Well, I'm looking at the table and Portsmouth have two games in hand on level points. Norwich could pick up something from their game in hand. We're 2/3 points adrift already. Unfortunately, unless something changes, I think we're down. The vibe around the club is just wrong, gloomy and declinist. It's the culture of the whole organisation. It's not a club battling to survive and pulling together.

These people who boycotted are telling you they will stop going unless something changes. There was a significant amount of ST holders who didn’t attend today If they don’t renew next season, it is very worrying for the club. That is the worry here. Maybe you should do more to listen to those fans. You have far more in common with boycotters than yoy do with the owners. I know whose side I’d rather be seen to be on

Got players back and STILL didnt win.

Where are you getting your numbers from, 25% would be of concern but basis the police number, it is more like 50% ! 6,000 home support against a normal Saturday 1500 kick off core of 12,000.

I would like to thank everyone who chose not to go today as your symbol, that this is bigger than 22 men chasing a piece of leather on the pitch. Id like to personally thank everyone who has supported the coalition and even further given me so much support over the years to try and keep up the good fight against all the adversity that comes with putting your head above the parapet. At 10am yesterday i got the news we all dread, as one of my parents sadly suffered a heart attack and were blue lighted to Blackpool straight into surgery and not in a great way. In a strange way, it galvanised my spirit of why we do what we do. Without my parents. Id not be here. Id not be a rovers fan and certainly not be so invested in trying to protect it. Emotions are running high, always are after a game, and the dust settling will evolve in the coming days. Whats next is the burning question? For me, its take stock, evaluate, listen, and then the picture will become clear

So in a nutshell you think we shouldn't bother either protesting against the owners or asking for a Head Coach of Kean/Coyle levels of incompetence to be sacked?

There's some absolute muppets on the Blackburn fans FB page. One guy seems happy enough with venkys because L1 is full of ex prem sides. Weve no hope with both venkys and fans like that. Im giving up and paying no more attention.
