At the end of the day all we can do as fans is make their ownership of Rovers a perpetual PR nightmare. They clearly want to hide away from this so let's not give them that luxury. Drag their name through the mud the way they've done ours. Let the whole world know that they're just incompetent, spoilt, petulant small time morons. We need to make it so that whenever the name venkys comes up people's automatic response is "those fucking cretins that destroyed Blackburn Rovers". Whatever financial scam they've been running for the last 15 years is irrelevant to some degree, let's just concentrate on smashing their reputation.

Brilliant first half so far.

No way would Derby sanction another ex (🤞) Rover, especially since the ones they've got already aren't pulling up trees, to be generous.

Miller will probably end up covering Hyams position if they shunt him off to Watford at the last min.

We’re going to have far fewer ‘home grown’ players this season (compared to last). As 7 need naming in a match day squad I think there’s going to be games where we’ll end up with a fairly inexperienced bench to meet this requirement. I don’t think we should be letting any more senior ones (eg Hyam) leave unless their replacement counts as home grown too.

He spoke decent English on his interview.

Another player ive never heard of...although I could say that about 80% of players in the championship...presume this guy is a winner and not another 10 to clog up with cantwell and henrikssen. Has he got any pace? Big worry for me is lack of any championship experience and probable language barrier amongst players now.

I think the aim with be to squeeze enough back to pay off his contract if they aren't making an actual offer. This transfer seems to be one engineered by agents in order to find him something rather than an interested party making a good offer for a contracted player.

Late to the party here. Great result, cracking performance and boy did we need it! Lets hope we can kick on now - good time to face Norwich!

Not sure that the managerial comparison would stand up to much scrutiny

Promotion payment 🤣🤣🤣

Fotmob says injured. Concussion.

Pretty much a a new side this season, are we "really" going for it?

He's concussed Which might lend itself to our negotiations

Decent opening to the match between Newcastle and Liverpool, quite fiery. I really don’t like Liverpool but I like that their players have brought back long sleeves

Exit Gueye and enter Soumano - yes please. Big changes to the squad this summer, hope they all gel and hit the ground running. Much needed addition of trickery/flair and pace into the squad, and a lot more adventurous in the market than before.

We seem strong at right back... Alebiosu is an attacking threat and Miller is a strong defender.

Filip Beckman not playing for GAIS tonight.

His ex club were glowing about him.. as you say will take a little time

Please make this happen, it would be hilarious. But even Eustace appears to have had enough of Calamity at the back end of his tenure here - I'm not sure he'd even go with this, despite his fetish of all things Rovers.

I think, with whatever money is left in the budget(!), we need to throw it at a young, talented Prem forward who needs a season in the Championship. I'm not overly familiar with all things Prem these days, but there must be one who fits that profile. No idea on whether Morishita is any good or not, hadn't heard of him before yesterday. But the Polish fans being devastated at him being sold is a promising sign.

Imma say it - replacing Pears with Toth has probably saved us 10 goals this season. It's an unbelievable upgrade.

I get that, and theres obviously a different manager. I suspect a downgrade considering how much Eustace was getting out of the squad he had. But its hard to deny that if you do a direct comparison, the contributions of Travis, Brittain, Dolan, Batth and to a lesser extent Weimann and Beck of last season do leave considerable holes. Some players that we already had may do better (or worse) too. Its not a linear comparison necessarily. But we have lost a lot of important players. Hopefully weve gained a lot of quality too.

Quite excited to see Morishita. Should be at his peak and seems to be coming off a good season. We need attacking threat and hopefully he can give us a new dimension. It is critical that we sign a striker and its never really felt likely. Not convinced by this Soumane link, especially with suggestions that he has his heart set on Widzew Lodz (who?). But I hope we do get someone in.
