I'll take that as a No then, which is the right answer, we have nobody at the club who could make a decent appointment, the last 10yrs proves that. How many clubs of the stature of say, a Blackburn Rovers, have folded and 'become history' as you put it?

As for WankyWaggot and the other useless back room cronies they're all part of the same harem as Mowbray so all must go together. Why would Venkys put the club into administration when most of debt is owed to them? Meaning they get nothing back money wise Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Sorry cock but I think you have a pretty romanticised view of our stature 😞 Look how long it took Leeds to claw their way back into the premiere league! and they're a far bigger and better supported City team (even if their fans are pure scum😄) Edited November 21, 2021 by Armchair supporter supremo Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

How many clubs of the stature of say, a Blackburn Rovers, have folded and 'become history' as you put it? The reason why I ask is its the difference between putting up with the continued downgrading of the club or striving for something better. If you truly believe Venkys are our only option thats an acceptable position to hold. Edited November 21, 2021 by Gav Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

As a side note to it they have removed the STC from the clubs books recently so they now own that themselves. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

As long as we are being run by proper footballing people who give a toss about the club, the town and its supporters, thats good enough for me, at the moment we are dying by a thousand cuts and changing the manager and CEO won't change that, as the last 10yrs have shown us. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

It’d be a monumental achievement if we had a top class manager, chairman and proper board structure and were sitting pretty in the Premier League. £140m and counting.

islander200 Posted November 21, 2021 Share Posted November 21, 2021 There is absolutely no evidence to support the thought the owners are planning on putting us into admin or selling the club If any of that was a remote possibility at this time then they wouldnt be trying to work around ffp by selling the STC.They would have taken the points deduction and the transfer embargo which would have given them an excuse if they had no plans to spend in the transfer market 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

My original point was getting rid of Mowbray and Waggott fixes nothing, the bigger picture must be to get rid of Venkys. We've changed the manager 9 times in 10yrs, we've changed the CEO probably 5 times, it doesn't work, especially when we're using a small gene pool of washed up dregs owned by 1 agency. The longer these owners are here, the more damage they do. Edited November 21, 2021 by Gav 2 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I read what you wrote and now you're rowing back faster than Redgrave and Pinsent. When Blackburn Rovers 2011 was sold, its was a club sat 11th in Premiership, punching well above its weight, with a boardroom full of footballing people and an experienced manager and very good players. 2yrs later we had no boardroom structure, we sat firmly in league 1 having sacked many good people that worked day to day at the club, we had crooks filling deep pockets and a visit to the old bailey under our belts. Are you telling me that was setup for success? I'm telling you that was setup to fail and it did just that.
