Blackburn Rovers @Rovers · 1h To ensure the focus remained solely on tomorrow’s first home league fixture of the season against Birmingham City and the squad available for selection as a whole, the club limited media questions at today’s pre-match press conference on matters relating to individual players. #Rovers remains committed to open communication with all supporters and will provide updates on individual player situations at the appropriate time.

Yeah this is it 100% - the constant statements these days just shows how out of touch they are and how bad they are at their jobs. The one about Eustace just before he left was a classic - like you say they all read like a 6 year old having a tantrum

On a sadder note, Paul Round has passed RIP

“ Schrödinger’s coach “.

I admire your positivity but I will be amazed if we don't finish rock bottom..

More press statements than points

I want anything that makes the chancers running this club to be asked questions in public. We are treading water (at best), it's not up to fans to justify the crazy world of football ownership but I'm confident enough people would fancy having a crack at this gig.

If we do sign a player who will potentially be out for months injured to replace our captain then even for us that would be ridiculous.

This on the same day as they block media questions on the future of Lewis Travis

Am I the only one who couldn't care less that questions were limited today. I actually agree with the club on this one that the focus should be on the game tomorrow and the questions about Trav and others can wait until after the game. We all know the situation with Travis anyway and the other out of contract players. VI only gave an update 3 days ago! And quite frankly those questions are boring for everyone at this point. The club is broken, we all know that, but we have much bigger problems than questions about Travis being banned for one press conference.

I’m fuming because they have the fucking bare face cheek to say in public that they “remain committed” to open communication, when every fan groups attending agree that try to communicate with them is saying it’s bullshit. We’ve got a first team coach / former interim head coach, who the the current head coach says has left. But the board cant confirm. “Open communication”. I can’t understand how people can’t see the problem here by looking outside the manufactured Travis ‘smokescreen’.

Whichever is cheaper

in travis,brittain`s case ,they are both nearing 28 and need one last good 4/5 deal before they start to slow down,rovers are a bunch of ***** and won`t give them a bean more than what they are on now,thats the truth,you can`t blame them for wanting to move o

The appropriate time being after said players have moved and the NDAs kick in to max effect preventing anything but the party line being presented… Not unusual in football but for it to be done so amateurishly is not normal

There’s only two meeting scheduled throughout the whole season… and they have the brass neck to post this (today of all days)

Baradji, as he will be injured and won't play until Jan. Oh well they will say.

According to Nixon Rovers have let Mafoumbi go to make space for a new signing. Feel for Mafoumbi...was probably never going to make it but the club have absolutely wasted his time. Hope he gets himself a club very quickly. So who's it going to be...Baradji or unnamed right winger?

I can't believe my eyes. All I read yesterday is what we shouldn't have said about Travis and today everyones fuming because they won't talk about Travis. We have problems, we have senior players leaving due to low wage cap and/or other reasons and a whole bunch of new players inexperienced in the championship that need to gel and learn how to play in this league. However It's starting to feel like if we win on Saturday a number of posters will be disappointed.

Suhail won't be at the next one, not a chance. A newly appointed CEO will be there to shoulder it all.

I suspect they don't really want one. Players in attacking positions, even average ones cost money that we aren't willing to part with. They are hoping someone comes out of favour and aren't going to be registered with there current club in the last few days of the window is my guess, pick them up on the cheap. Remember week or so back when Jackson said there is money for a right winger, of course there is!

It’s not a nailed on certainty guys 🤣 We have 45 games ahead of us and a relatively competitive squad. And a solid experienced manager. Don’t think we’re coming anywhere close to play offs obviously, but there are at least 8 clubs I wouldn’t swap our squad+manager with. As for ownership, I’d swap with the 22 (all excluding Chansiri). Too early for this!

How can you refuse to accept and publish minutes of a fans forum meeting which all different fan groups attending agree are accurate, and then say they are committed to “open communication.”

What happened to good communication with key stakeholders?

The issue is that the players who have moved clubs are on ‘big money’, meaning over 15k a week. I guarantee that the players that we have signed this summer are getting paid less than 10k a week- that’s our market. I actually think we will have a reasonable season finishing mid table with the squad we have. The biggest worry is the number of players with championship experience who are leaving- When Wrexham can spend 10 million on a 28 year old striker it shows we can never compete with the owners that we have 😞

so much for open and transparent communication😅 club is acting like a soviet style enclave,we only let you know what we want you to know
