If they don’t cancel 9th Feb - please can the below list be read out to them and get their reaction on the never ending list of disaster that they have created. how do you explain: - taking a team within the playoff places to the relegation zone in record time? - hanging on to a manager with the worst record in recent history - missing the anniversary year for the anniversary kit game - botching said kit and then trying to charge £200 for the shirt - botching the chance to be the first Adidas SPZL kit which would have generated revenue far beyond previous kits and sales significantly beyond a 25 mile radius of Ewood - our commercial departments best effort being a local firm of ambulance chasers to be our main sponsor, are we going to be more ambitious? - keeping Rudy safe in his job despite 2 awful windows and the destruction of a competent team? - keeping Rudy safe in his job despite insulting and bullying many long standing staff out of their jobs? - cancelling Sky Sports at a professional football club - introducing parking charges making a visit to the club shop have an arbitrary needless cost attached? - as many abandoned games as home wins - fans urging boycotts because of the regime - what are the financials for the club shop products apart from kit sales? The other products are pure tat! - why do so many of our signings seem to share the same agency? - senior staff of the club running secret ITK accounts - senior staff using said accounts to call fans spice heads and drug addicts - being sued by your current kit manufacturer? (Obviously can’t talk about this) we have gone from contenders for promotion to odds on for relegation rapidly, this falls squarely at Rudys recruitment, has he been drawing on all his experience in other roles - oh he hasn’t had any - why did you hire a work experience former player who downed tools to get a move away in such an important and pivotal position in the club? - why did we offer Val 3.5 years when all at the time could see this was a ridiculous decision and should have had at least a break clause in the summer

Take the message to India. Venky’s- Sell Blackburn Rovers, needs plastering across Indian social media. Nothing offensive, just straight to the point.

Hopefully Rudy is getting ready to make the call and get rid of his best pal Val this morning. if it happens - let’s turn the heat on him and Pasha - these three individuals have to go. The list of fuck ups, awful decisions, downright neglect is already so long it’s farcical they can keep getting away with it.

Why would he be worried? It's all part of the plan, and he is doing everything this regime wants of him. Not a chance. They will give him the Sheffield Wednesday game, we'll win that and everything will be rosey again in Vals world. "I said for weeks the win is coming" He only needs 1 more game to match Mowbray's horror run of 1 win in 15 league games back in 2021.

He slates the manager in the press due to lack of game time and his cards have been marked since..... He's either got an awful agent or nobody wanted him, suppose time will tell if he's any use......

We've lost to many home games to stay up, let's face it were in league 1. Theres only one glimmer of hope, get rid of the worst manager Rovers have had, for a very very long time.

Like you said, we were in the play off places, when Ismael took over, we're now in the bottom 3, and you reckon Ismaels not to blame.

When did Gudjohnsen (who was the specific goalscoring striker that I mentioned) play on the wing?

I paid my £140 Rovers TV pass. It would have been easy to just watch it on a fire stick, like many do. For almost all of the season so far, I’ve just sat there with no emotion, even when we have scored. In seasons gone by the furniture is in danger of getting broken and the dog jumps out of his skin, when we score, but I care very little any more. I feel very defeated and hope the posts made above about protest ideas, gain some traction. I think starving them of funds is the only way and would like to know a bit more about the season ticket holder ideas, so wonder if that can be explained a bit more on here. I will not be paying for the Rovers TV pass and will definitely not be going to Ewood when I’m next in the UK as this is not supporting Rovers any more, it’s paying to keep people who I hate, to remain in their positions at the club.

Who will sack him though? Pasha and Gestede are complicit in this and are responsible for giving him a 3 year contract. The owners are unlikely to know. Pasha’s course on how to run a football club, will not have sunk in yet, he will surely have referred to page 412 subsection 3.9 where it says if your manager doesn’t get a win in 10 games, sack him, but he probably thinks thats gone now and it doesn’t say no win in 10,11,12 and 13 as no one has usually gone that long and still been in a job.

I have gone from season ticket holder,to walk-on, to non-attendee. My effort alone will make no difference to the outcome. But it makes me feel like I am doing something.

More importantly to me. I saved £50

It is as simple as that. If owners cared they would be doing everything now in January to try get guys in of quality. There's no fight from those in charge they seemingly are letting us be cut a drift like a dead asset.

Plus, the manager needs to leave Mr Blobby would get more out of them

This can't continue. We need to make it uncomfortable for Pasha and Rudy at Ewood Park.

Woke up and surprised no news yet. Maybe Rovers want to give Val a good Sunday rest.

The money is clearly very important to the regime. Withdrawing from giving them any is the only way that we as fans can have any power in this situation. Protesting inside or outside of the ground has been proven to be ineffective. Unless folk are willing to take it to the next step and get the games abandoned (something which people are reluctant to do, understandably) then this needs to be knocked on the head. The way the game has been set up we, as fans, hold very little powers when it comes to making decisions for the future of our clubs, heritage, community etc. Withdrawing financial support is the only tool we have.

Similar to the Premier relegation and giving Kean a new contract , the Authorities knew or had a good idea , but choose not to rock the boat , .Easier for BRFC to disappear to the lower leagues!..

The problem the regime faces is that the longer this situation continues the more and more suspicious it gets. I mean most of us have known for years that the fundamental metrics in football - results, points, performances, league positions, improvement, promotions etc. are absolutely and utterly irrelevant to the regime. I'd suggest you are deluded if you thing the owners or their stooges spend any of their time thinking about such things. But up to now their disregard for such trivial matters has been hidden away. Now it is coming clear even to the head in sand brigade and the wider football world. With 1 win in 15 and sat in the relegation zone there really is no more to say and nothing to hide behind there. It is going to look very suspicious indeed if they do nothing now. Some would even suggest that relegation is desired if they allow this untenable situation to continue where it wouldn't be permitted at any other club.

This was all so predictable (look back at my previous posts), all so avoidable. 150th year, only to be shamed like this.

By who? The two twats?

Genuinely think he'll be gone tomorrow reading between the lines, yesterday was last chance saloon, a draw may have saved him but the gun is cocked and loaded now

1000% this.

I don't think Mowbray could keep us up but someone could. In earlier years Neil Warnock or Big Sam might. Even Damien Johnson as caretaker could do better with the squad IMO. But we know that Pasha/Gestede will not get shut of VI. That is a very depressing thought.
