My "grasping at straws" hope is that the public scrutiny after the abandoned games circus has knocked his credibility "this week". Coupled with Pickering being played, Gueye being dropped, Tavares not coming on and VI actually mentioning telephone contact (though without context or timeline) my Christmas hope is that we might see Pasha recede to the shadows for a while and maybe even a football related patsy (sorry CEO) installed which tends to lead to better short term decisions for about 10 months (or longer if the head coach is sufficiently mediocre to never threaten the playoffs) No point him going back into the shadows where hes been operating from for a decade or so, nothing will change. He needs to be front of house and held accountable for his actions, his bosses actions who he represents here and the actions of those he employs. There's NO excuses, as COO THAT is his job otherwise clear off permanently. Quote

Of course I want a functioning leadership at the club with appropriate powers. Just not likely IMO - more interested if Pasha is “on the naughty step” and if we will see a short term return to the faux stability whilst the heat dissipates or if the timing is purely coincidental Quote

Mattyblue Posted 1 hour ago Posted 1 hour ago It’s very simple. The wages are paid and there’s a team in blue and white running around Ewood Park, whilst that is the case a good few thousand will turn up, plus they’ll buy a pie if they fancy and they’ll buy some tat from the shop if they fancy and that’s that. There is no point in wasting energy in worrying about changing minds of such folk. 3 Quote

Before he comes back and just carries on regardless. I think we can be sure that won't won't be happening is him going over there telling them straight what's going on and what we need. Nor will it be them summoning him to explain the mess that has unfolded since their summer cashing in exercise. Unfortunately. 1 Quote

"Ewood Park, home for 135 years, is full of memories and trinkets,that have become ghosts of a time when people were proud to come here". And (Re The Coalition) "Their mandate is everything that's no more, tangible and intangible: investment, ambition, hope." Absolutely nailed it. 4 Quote

I know it's entirely a matter of choice and personal conscience whether or not you attend games but imo you're treading a dangerously fine line between trolling and not with a flippant and dismissive attitude like that. We all know you won't personally support any form of boycott or protest but why continually pour cold water on the well intentioned efforts of others? Plus you've said at least twice you weren't going to post in this thread any more. Edited 5 minutes ago by RevidgeBlue Quote
