Perhaps, he'll get a job in the middle east. Maybe, he will get found out there, as well..and get his arrogant head chopped off. Bastard!

Blackburn Alexandra. We've seen this coming. Fck off, Venky's!

Must have been penned by AI, as it is the biggest load of guff spouted by the Pune Loon crowd since Madame Rao crowed gushingly about spending a whole five million pounds a season to keep Rovers in the Premier League. It is no coincidence that the clear out of Championship standard players at the end of last season and their replacement with largely inferior and inexperienced ones has placed the status of the club in the Championship in peril. On reflection it looks likely to have been a deliberate act of sabotage designed to hasten the drop through the trapdoor into relative obscurity. Perhaps the Venky's plan is to close the operation down when it has become so relatively trivial as to not cause them any significant embarrassment. That would seem to be a plausible explanation for the trajectory that has clearly been set by the so called management at the club. What utter charlatans and shysters the Rao family are. What an absolute BLIGHT on the town of Blackburn and the legacy of all decent and passionate supporters of the club. And what an absolute dog-shit insult that sodding statement is, reeking of nothing but complete disconnection with the reality of misery and misfortune that our club has been dragged down to by these pathetic and cretinous people. VENKYS / RAOS / HANGERS ON OUT! BRFC we grieve for your supporters' pain.

In fairness IF Rowett did decide to join this circus, I think he's smart enough to know exactly what he's signing up for. Much like Eustace, I imagine he'd demand a release clause set at a reasonable limit. After JDT flat out told everyone that Venky's refused to let him leave when he requested to resign, any manager/head coach with a hint of preservation instinct would make this a non-negotiable demand in contract talks. Could also be why this all ends with Rowett refusing to join us. Waggott was the one who allowed Eustace the release clause, presumably, and I'm not convinced Pasha and Gestede would be willing to allow their 'authority' to be undermined by a demand of a reasonable minimum fee release clause. Especially after the petulance that was shown after Eustace left.

If Rowett has anything about him, he'll see right through Suhail and Gestede. He probably also knows he has a shot at the Leicester job as well, which despite their troubles is arguably a more appealing gig these days, and closer to where he is based. I'll be really surprised if Rovers appoint someone this week.

Who presumably want exactly the same things as him. A decent transfer/wage budget and for the team to be successful.

Yeah the reason Rowett could be reticent are those negative fans.

Having witnessed how effective we are at bringing in our transfer 'targets', I fully expect us to fail in bringing in Rowett. It will be hard to convince him to sign a deal that is considerably worse than the one he had at Oxford... and then we turn our focus to fringe managers from substandard European leagues.

I still can’t believe anyone could justify selling all our proven Championship players and replacing them so badly. What on earth were they thinking? We should be demanding answers on a daily basis, because it just doesn’t make any sense.

When we get relegated they will simply put another one of these out and hope enough gullible people buy a season ticket.

our better players won`t play in league one because i don`t think venkys will sanction spending the money like they did last time,enabling us to keep them,last time we got relegated we must have had the biggest wage budget in the division by far,dack,graham,mulgrew,smallwood etc were far to good for that division and it showed,quite certain we won`t have that option this time,i expect a fire sale and quite a long stay in league one,indeed it would`nt be a surprise to me if we ended up where we`ve never been before,the bottom division,death by a thousand cuts,courtesy of pasha,gested and the chicken disrespectors

That may well come to pass but in the meantime we HAVE to as a bare minimum stay up imo.

they`ll lie to him,promise him that he`ll get what he wants then appoint him,in the coming months poor rowett will realise he`s been duped and by next febuary he`ll be gone,rinse and repeat onto the next candidate

Spot on. Seen loads of people who seem to have an attitude of the owners will invest and we'll have another brief League 1 tour, we'll come back stronger type stuff. Big shock coming, what happened last time should never have happened but it was a combination of stuff lead to it spiralling post Kean. This time it is without doubt managed decline due to no/slashing of financing and has been done on purpose. For what reasons other than finance we don't know but they are creating a league 1 model whilst just hoping to survive at Championship level. It won't last nor will it prosper in a lower level it'll just fall in amongst the dead men.

Baradji wouldn’t be signed. Tronstad will go back to Norway. Players who have potential to do ok in other leagues overseas like Morishita, Jorgenson, Henriksson and co would go on cheap deals. Cheap deals in England for the likes of Cantwell and Carter. ’Crown Jewels’ like Toth, Alebiosu and Gudjonssen would be sold for profit. We’d end up with a squad with the likes of Pears (although could see him going), De Neve, Tavares, Kargbo, Miller, Pickering, the youngsters and then some extra cheap lower league journeymen. Whilst last time there was an effort to get straight back I genuinely feel this time would be grim beyond recognition.

I can't decide whether you're a Rovers fan or a Dingle. Nice dig at BRFCS and the coalition in the background BTW.

Great analogy and a damning indictment of Gestede's squad 're-build'.

Bloke has his head screwed on, so after meeting the two clowns he'll ask for guarantees they wont give and that will be that

Rowett is, imo, the only option that is both sensible and realistic. If we have any hope of getting out of this mess we need somebody with a lot of experience at clubs with limited talent/budget, and who has a pragmatic, results-first mindset. There would be no guarantee of success in terms of keeping us in the division, as he has failed before, but he's also succeeded before - as recently as last season with Oxford. I see him as the best choice available as far as realistic appointments are concerned. Of course, it's shuffling the deck chairs on the proverbial titanic as long as Venky's are at the helm, but that's the best we can hope for until they leave.

If true then better than the 48 hour story. Still a contract along with how much money available to spend will be the telling story. I'll be surprised if this happens.

If true, vaguely positive, might have a job agreeing terms, but at least they're showing a bit of urgency.

Nixon saying on bluesky that Rowett is meeting with the club today

He had 3 spells at North End as well. However the cap fits. Phil Jones boyhood Rover but Utd lover, why aren't people wanting him.
