He would be pissed off if he had got good results and attracted suitors like Eustace and JDT but as he hasn't and no one would touch him with a barge pole at the moment he cant afford to be pissed off. How amenable the managers are to the bizarre way the heirachy run the club is directly linked to how well they are doing. The better they do, the more they look to leave as they have options.

There's zero evidence that a big crowd motivated this team. Besides, a boycott isn't designed to improve the performance and/or result of a single game.

Also we are nearly out of the mad run of games so we might be able to keep them fit. Plus Alebiouso back. Theoretically if we got all of them back we'd be back to an okay starting XI except for left wing back. I would like to see Powell get a go as its patently clear Riberio and Pickering just dont have the engine for it, and De Neve is a total defensive liability.

I see the coalition have apologised. So what you're cowardly backing down because some idiots don't like it? That's a disgrace and it will completely evaporate what is left of my sympathy. It's a miracle I have any to begin with except where Jack is concerned.

Face palm indeed.

It really doesn't. Any slightly higher crowd than usual at Ewood and this lot play like they have never met before.

Not sure it does. The owners damage Blackburn Rovers, the fans attending or not is likely immaterial to their decision making one way or the other. Likewise I often hear about a big crowd motivating the players. Again I'm not sure that's correct. I suspect it makes very little difference and we've frequently performed poorly with a big crowd on

Administration is perhaps the best scenario as it forces them out. The worst is deliberate spite and putting in the absolute bare minimum required to meet salaries to punish the fans. They could take the club lower than the National League if they felt like it and being in Pune they are almost immune to threats. There is also the chance they could sell to someone who turns out to just as unpopular on purpose. I'm sure they would show their faces if Charles Windsor visited Ewood though.

It probably needs to be reminded to a few that football is unlike any other business. The owners can’t simply “wind the club down”. This isn’t a retail store The owners could, if they wanted, place the club in to administration and the league will penalise us - usually points deduction. However the league then mandates the sale of the club and appoints an administrator The idea that BRFC could cease to exist at the whim of Venkys is wrong What could be said, is that by not going you accelerate that process. It is harmful in the short term but again, the end result is something that we all want - an end to Venkys I have stopped using Twitter but I always had Jim Wilkinson down as a bit of a rage baiter who has a strange obsession with cats. It strikes me as pretty normal thing for him to find offence at the use of Jack Walker One thing we can all agree on is that Jack Walker would not abide by the standard of ownership that Venkys have produced. Say what you want about paying the bills, the financial struggles of EFL clubs or who may be a potential new owner but the amateur way that Venkys control this club and the contempt they show the fans and the town is a total reversal from what Jack wanted here. I don’t think he would object with his image used - why would he? Afterall, 135 years of pride and 15 years of shame. That statement resonates with every single fan of this club

We unfortunately live in an age where it is seen as a "better tactic" to say that you are offended by something, than it is to provide a counter argument

Mad that people are getting more offended by the use of Jack Walker’s image, than those who destroyed his legacy. What a time to be alive.

I spent ages trying to work out who the old chap was at the front, thinking he was the ex-Rover, then I noticed Mike Newel 🤣

I suspect it's more protecting them from injury, rather than resting them.

They rested him in a key conference league game. I'm pretty certain they'll rest him for Macclesfield

Staying away, damages Blackburn Rovers, not the owners. A big crowd motivates the team, and we need it at the moment, if we're to survive in the Championship.

At least the campaign is being advertised to a wider audience.

Are you going to back down on using Jack Walker now because cretins like Jim Wilkinson are upset? Considering how Jack died where was his outrage when they slapped Totally Wicked on shirt? Nowhere because he's a Man United lover. Don't bow down to them. Especially the likes of him.

So when the owners wind up the club because it isn't financially viable, it will be my fault because I kept going, not yours who has not only "stopped" going, but has urged others to do the same as well as stop giving the club any money. And it's me who apparently doesn't understand contradiction 🤦

Apparently not, played every minute barring 1 game

I wasn't correcting you, just stating it seems very unlikely he will actually be playing. Has Guehi had injury problems? The reason I'd be surprised if Wharton plays isn't because he is a key player for them, but because he will likely be identified as being in dire need of a rest.

I am sure I am not on my own in saying I have been extremely pleasantly surprised by the way Pratt, Litherland and Atcheson have not looked out of place playing Championship football and that extends to Dlamini's cameo appearances. So I am actually looking forward to seeing more kids in the team tomorrow confident that they will at least be a match for the likes of de Neve and Sidnei whom I fear will get game time ahead of more deserving youngsters. The big plus will be Toth back in goal. Really hope Hull extend him but not to the extent of back bends picking the ball out of the net. Cashin will be an interesting sighting - have we got the £9m worth of star or the version who apparently was rubbish at Brum? As for taking the Cup seriously, are we even the taking the League seriously this season???

I did say "may feature" But they are apparently starting Guehi, so I suppose its possible Wharton plays

Different kind of cheese you're thinking of there.

That's and extra two hundred quid mate

Do you get a box with it ?
