Valérien Ismaël: Blackburn Rovers Head Coach
RevidgeBlue replied to DE.'s topic in Blackburn Rovers Fans Messageboard
It's a mixture of poor game management, poor substitutions, and inherently poor players without the backbone or fire in their bellies to see the games out. But hey, let's pin all the blame on the officials instead -
If they continued to refuse to write any debt off, I'd consider the requirement for any prospective purchaser to give us at least £55m (and rising) an absolute bar to finding new owners. Who'd want to give us that much in our current state? (If we unearthed another couple of Adam Wharton's - maybe) I wasn't even aware of the 25% rule until the Wednesday situation cropped up. Ludicrous imo.

That's a ridiculous stat but of course non of it is to do with the same stupid things he keeps doing with subs etc. Non of i tell thee. -

Buckley, err, ok. -
If they got given 25% of their debt back to clear off i'd be over the moon and lets be honest it's the most they'd ever get and the only way they'd ever get it. However they go to great lengths to keep us just above the admin line so i can't see that ever changing. We'll just shrink to the level of funding they want to or can afford to put in. Can see it coming a mile off. Meanwhile similar clubs with similar cost base continue to get adequate funding, are ran by better football people, get better crowds due to this and remain open for new owners. Not here though, that's not allowed.

Could have, would have, should have again Like with making excuses we should be world champions at hard luck stories. -

John Buckley, Stuart Ripley, Super Atko and Beamo all receiving caps tomorrow 👏 🙌 -
I had a look at the supposed rationale for this rule online and the thinking behind it appears to be the hope than non footballing creditors get a reasonable shake. No good if it all goes to the person/persons who caused the problem in the first place though, it seems a ludicrous rule to me - a reward for bad ownership. According to Simon Jordan the 25% requirement was why his consortium pulled out of the running to buy Wednesday. They didn't fancy handing over a large wedge of money to Chansiri.

Aussies are always only a wicket away from a collapse too, plenty of life left in this game yet, but it’s not looking great at the moment

I'm lucky I live 5 mins away from Ewood. But totally get why people would rather stay home and watch it on TV. They really don't help the wider fan base. They clearly know people aren't turning up hence all the media touching on fans etc. Why not make it easier drop prices for the remainder of the season, draw some interest on these likely to win games and drum up some new support -

Game management or lack of by our “coach” “Seven of the 23 goals Blackburn have conceded in their 18 Championship games have come in the 90th minute or later, costing them seven points - which would have seen 18th-placed Rovers within two points of fourth-placed Stoke instead.” BBC article -

This is me…the significant cost of travel & a ticket…the investment of travel time…especially when it’s on TV & nobody in the owners/exec group really seems to care makes it all too easy to not bother. I’m not sure at this point I’ll ever recover the enthusiasm I once had…I suspect I’m not alone. -

Possibly yes…I guess you could argue that if they put us in admin they’d truly be beyond caring about any collateral damage & at least one relegation would be assured. There’s no getting away from the fact that Rovers have League One income but a Championship cost base. If I was tasked with running Rovers to break even then I’d be warning the fans to expect League Two football…

Aussies now playing real Test Cricket! On the way to a big lead I imagine. We have had good moments but compared to them we are amateurs. No dabbling at balls outside the off stump while the feet are stuck to the turf.

You can’t give them chances Jamie Smith, great delivery by Archer. Aussies playing Bazball here, flying along after a slow start.

I don't think profits or losses come into it. The key thing is that they're moving around and the agents are clipping the ticket every time. -
