Received a text from someone asking my opinions on Harry P and Ryan N, felt very random, asked why and they said about potentially signing for Reading.

Of course, we'll never know for sure regards his motivation, Rev. We can only put forward our opinions. I suppose it is theoretically possible that somebody might have asked him to put something out. If his statement had solely urged fans not to boycott and to support the team instead, I'd personally lean towards that theory. However, I see this statement as being his genuine thoughts on the matter. Within the same statement he also tactfully calls out the leadership, he tells them to show some humility, to take the first step and to do something to unite the club and the fans. He has also called for Venky's to sell the club and stated that they have wasted a lot of money and that their ownership of the club is doing nobody any good. IMO, those are not the words of somebody who has been asked by whoever at the club to put a few words out to discredit the boycott. A PR man wouldn't act in such a way. When he left the club in March 2016 he told the LT that the club needs unity in order to move forward: https://www.lancashiretelegraph.co.uk/sport/14390636.director-alan-myers-leaving-blackburn-rovers-accord/ In the interview I shared in my earlier post, from 2022, he mentions the club needing unity. Last night he said the same again. That's where he is coming from. He wants the club to be fixed and for the fans and the staff he knows at the club to be happy again. That's how I see it. Why has he piped up now? Well...I suspect he is exasperated that the same problems he faced in 2014-2016 are STILL occurring today, 10 years on! Current events are likely resonating with him. Remember, he left the club out of principle in 2016, unhappy at how the club was being ran ala JDT, Eustace. He's a football man who has just heard/seen us put in a shambolic display at Swansea, with arguably the worst ragtag side ever seen in a Rovers shirt. The mood around the place is understandably low and we are three days away from a planned boycott. If ever he was going to speak on the matter, I'd say now is the perfect time to do so. Nothing sus about it, IMO.

Even better ... https://letmegooglethat.com/

Every time we do - people abuse it ... sorry, the minority mean the majority of us can't have nice things.

🤣 Mercer has been posting claptrap since he joined this site over a decade ago , with a 0% hit rate, but I know you know that. Even a broken clock is right twice a day, so fingers crossed mercer is that clock this time. Ps - Hope you and the family are well Mercer 👍

I've been ranting about giving Powell & Joseph a chance for weeks. Joseph has just come back from injury though (but was fit before Christmas when we had no strikers on the bench) Dunn has also only recently come back from injury

1-8 with 20 mins to go

😂😂 time to try and not let things wind me up. I can usually rise above it but jesus

1-8 How aren't some of these lads on the bench... Joseph looks a real handful.. Dunns tidy too.

Id imagine they are aware.

Slowly erase history, culture and tradition in order to reset the bar lower so people get used to the new normal, straight out of the control freak divide and conquer playbook. Hmmm... it's all rather obvious now when you look back at it.

@toogs what time is it mate?

Master negotiator 🤣

There’s a search engine called google that will help. Here’s the link… www.google.co.uk 👍

Just watching U21s on youtube playing at Coventry. Ok ground's empty but you can hear Paul Butler (Head Coach) sreaming at Rovers players. Don't recall Ismael doing that! By the way Coventry U18s 1 Rovers U18s 7 (seven) after 60 minutes.

1-7 now

I couldn’t really care less what a man who has no real connection to rovers other than a historical paycheque has to say. He’s not a supporter, current member of staff or a shot caller of any description. So he’s just another bloke with an opinion

I'm genuinely struggling to recall the last end to ender when it was one team having a go, then the other...

1 6 ! First team are you watching?

Don't do it to yourself.

What do you mean "look yourself?" Obviously I cannot see the rumour anywhere hence why I made the reasonable request to know where the rumour had been seen. @RoversClitheroe please could you share from where you saw that Pickering could be going to Reading.

did anyone catch who is the academy kid on joint commentary? Edit Charlie.. so I guess Charlie Clanford

This is true (in theory, this is venky FC after all) and is why it's really important that season ticket holders boycott. The idea is to demonstrate our power by costing the owners more of their own money. If they don't like it then there is an easy solution, just sell up and fuck off.

People still talk about the Plymouth game 50 years later. The atmosphere was tremendous that day. The place was jumping. It was all end to end stuff, not like today’s sideways and backwards play. Two good teams going at it hammer and tongs. ‘‘Twas good to be young “ back then.
