Steven Reid was a hard bastard.

20 million offer for Ayari. So pleased we helped in his development 🤔

Duncan, obviously.

Going back to the 90's again, Billy McKinlay was one who liked a tackle and didn't back down from a confrontation. But yeah, otherwise Todd, Batty, Flitcroft, Hendry, Nelsen in my lifetime.

If half of what Duncan said was true it would be insane…. Utter contemptuous wankers

Incase Pasha and Yusuf need a new job?

We ‘need to keep the Issa brothers onside’ why, exactly?

@Vinjay its a joke.... christ

Think we can all apologise in advance to the next poor graduate that gets a new contract announcement on Rovers official channels with comments activated..

They had the whole month and months before to sort it. Leaving it until the last days says it all. Just sell or put the club in administration. Shambles of a club Blackburn Rovers. Venkys Gestede Pasha Ismael OUT!!!

Cadamatari replacement?

Looking for kickbacks no doubt. As i said when Waggot was being ousted i'd not be surprised if he was the least of the problems and so it's coming to pass. And that isn't an endorsement but we are now in the complete control of a set of 3 people who should be nowhere near running a football club never mind one of this stature. Just like the policy of unexperience on the pitch when these lot make their cock ups or whatever else they do the club/fans/team pay the price. They still get paid regardless and the void between here and India is their buffer zone.

I was at the replay! The firm I was apprenticed to, allowed us to attend the game if we made the hours up and several took the offer. Rovers bossed the game but the West Ham keeper (Gregory I think) stopped almost everything, they won with a breakaway in extra time

Thank goodness

Dunno what's gone on with him but 2 goals in 22 appearances in League One is quite the drop off. He managed 10 for Derby last season. Maybe just a case of Luton not being a good fit.

Jerry Yates going to sheff wed, reckon he could have been useful to us. The old style centre forward, blood n guts type

This years club statements have completely outnumbered wins. Bravo owners, bravo!

Fixed it for you.

I'm of the belief that clubs should be banned from these stick on logos etc. They should have to be an actual part of the shirt. Given what they cost it's a joke how quickly sponsors come off. I think I still have a Time shirt somewhere that has outlasted the company who sponsored it, because the Time logo was woven into the actual shirt. This should be mandatory. Clubs don't do it because it costs them a bit more and they want your shirt to look tatty in a year or two so they can flog you another overpriced one.

Suhail is a real power hungry twat isn’t he. Sorry there’s not a better phrase but my god he’s a piece of work Waggott was a saint compared to this bloke. Lining up Adidas would have been a belting bit of business Suhail and Yasir are way out of their depth. It is only that the owners are so disinterested that he gets to survive. He’s a horrible man

Macron’s deal is up at the end of this season. As of April 2025 Rovers were allowed to talk to other suppliers, but not before. As part of the deal Macron also have matching bid rights (they have to be told what any new offer is and be given the opportunity to match it). That’s the facts, but just MAYBE the following happened… MAYBEWaggott had been talking to adidas, largely due to Gary Aspden. MAYBE It was off the record but it got very clear they were very keen around October 2024. MAYBE Suhail got wind of Waggott talking to adidas and tried to tell him that Yasir would be doing the kit deal and not him. MAYBE Waggott told him no, as he had the relationship with Gary and subsequently with adidas. MAYBE As a result Suhail got in a strop and went off talking to Castore, and told Waggott to forget about adidas and that we’d be going with Castore “to keep the Issa brothers onside”. MAYBE Suhail then went to Macron to tell them he was negotiating a really good deal with Castore, so they would need to put in a much improved deal. And MAYBE Macron went mad as this broke the exclusivity agreement and MAYBE threatened legal action. MAYBE Waggott was planning on flying to Italy to smooth things over with Macron but eventually did it on the phone, but MAYBE they chilled out a bit. MAYBE Waggott explained the local connection to adidas and that they would be offering loads of things macron couldn’t match (Spezial kit, boot deal, exhibition at Ewood, new club shop, Spezial trainers). MAYBE Macron accepted that couldn’t be matched. In April they opened up to tender. MAYBE Macron, adidas and Castore put in. MAYBE Macron and Castore both offered an upfront payment - basically a guarantee of 400k, rather than an extra payment. MAYBE Suhail went to adidas and asked them to match it, MAYBE they said they don’t offer guarantees to anyone, not even Man Utd or Real Madrid - they just sell lots of kits. MAYBE Suhail then went back and told Macron they were going with Castore - MAYBE Macron said they wanted to keep Rovers and offered to match Castore. MAYBE Suhail’s response was “No you should’ve offered us more in the first place. We are going with Castore.” MAYBE Adidas were not getting good vibes since Waggott left, but MAYBE Suhail then reapproached adidas asking for a half million upfront payment to “buy out macron” - effectively pay them off cos they will sue. MAYBE Adidas reiterated their stance of no upfront payments - MAYBE Suhail said “Well Castore are willing to pay the legal fees”. So MAYBE Macron are seeking compensation for 2 separate breeches of contract. Castore have bought out Umbro and need clubs for their second brand. MAYBE we’ve agreed to being Umbro with off the peg kits slightly Roverized.

Faz, Keeley, Branagan. And Basil. Branagan had to be restrained by Garner,Barker and Basil from kicking my head in, during an exchange of views with me in a night club on the Isle Of Man. Thank God

Investment plans: Stadium ❌ Pitch ❌ Kit ❌ Playing staff ❌ Backroom staff ❌ Someone who is good at football, please help me stop being poorly advised. I'm just an innocent multi million pound livestock and pharmaceutical operation.
