Andy Posted Wednesday at 19:53 Posted Wednesday at 19:53 I don't believe for a second that the owners even know that we have a women's football team, never mind making a decision on whether to fund it. Look closer in the direction of those who may have a vested interest in reducing costs. Possibly benefitting by way of annual revenue targets / personal 'performance' bonuses. Think large sums straight into their pension pots, for a competely random example. 2 Quote

... Posted Wednesday at 19:54 Posted Wednesday at 19:54 Just incase any club spies are in here. Look how much these fellas talk bout our owner 30 years on. 30 years on. I'd be lucky if I'm remembered in 10 when I go to heaven. Quote

DutchRover Posted yesterday at 07:19 Posted yesterday at 07:19 Women's team story is gaining traction, has articles in NYT and Athletic so will definitely be putting a spotlight on the ownership and their unwillingness to invest in the club despite being billionaires. 5 Quote

Mind you she probably thought it wouldn't cost anything and would pull in 12k crowds at Ewood ! End of the day any one of them could stump up a few grand out of their own pockets for this if they deemed it important. A women's team at a club like Rovers was never ever making commercial sense let alone paying for itself so it would always need some funding to prosper. 1 Quote

Football Finance "expert" “I wouldn’t say Blackburn have monetary problems, the Venky’s have been benevolent owners, but they have other priorities and I think the level of financial support at Blackburn is something they are scrutinising very carefully at present.” Is he living in the real world? 7 Quote

Mattyblue Posted yesterday at 10:04 Posted yesterday at 10:04 Yep, he thinks they are some of the best owners in football (no, really!). 1 Quote

MarkBRFC Posted yesterday at 11:04 Posted yesterday at 11:04 Seems to be quite a few on twitter saying that some long standing employees, some with over 30 years service have been made redundant recently? Anyone know anything about that?! 1 Quote

Anyone know anything about that?! There has been a few strange rumours about the club and being leaked on to social media in the last couple of months e.g. Rooney coming in for Ismael. I'm getting very sceptical as a result. I wonder whether they are putting certain untrue stuff out to see who is leaking, or maybe to try and divide supporters, cause confusion and undermine the reliability of protestors. E.g. "you all accused us of doing X, this was never happening and we don't know where this baseless rumour came from". People need to be so careful with sticking to facts. There is always so much rubbish on social media. It almost goes without saying that we all hope this isn't true, we don't want longstanding servants who have given decades for this club to be sacked. If it is, more fuel on the fire. Edited yesterday at 11:19 by StHelensRover 4 Quote

Anyone know anything about that?! Travis has posted an Instagram story saying it's disappointing news about Les Field (manager's PA and first team player liaison) and that she'll be missed. She's always seemed very popular with players going off their social media. People like her being made redundant while Waggott gets a big pay rise. Feel ill at the fact that I've renewed my season ticket. 6 Quote

But the thought of giving any money at all to Waggot, Pasha and Venky’s is a horrible one. Quote
