He'll be gone by the start of next season. Probably the only way to keep the lights on at Ewood Park for a few more months, given today's news from India.

Could be a problem - the fixture list was published on 22nd June last year......

I don't know whether to be overjoyed at this latest development or or seriously depressed. On the one hand, it could hasten the end of Venkys' ownership of the club, either by sale or administration, followed by regeneration under new ownership. On the other it could be the beginning of the end - receivership, followed by winding up, expulsion from the EFL, , sale of remaining assets to pay creditors and formal winding up. Or, as I suspect, Venkys will stubbornly hold on for as long as they can, dragging the club down into League 2 via League 1 next season or the one after, until there's very little left for someone else to build on. On balance, I think "f**ked" adequately sums it up. Hope I'm wrong.

Looking at our remaining games I am firmly of the opinion that we need to win tonight and again on Saturday to stand a realistic chance of avoiding relegation. Here's hoping......

How about next match free when if we lose this one?

Get well soon Tony. Your health is more important than football.

Best we can hope for is that the Indian judges don't agree to Venky's sending any more money then? Which inevitably leads straight to administration when the bills can't be paid.

Sady we've tried that before and it didn't work. (anybody remember the chicken on the pitch?) I think the only way forward now is administration. Anything we can do to hasten this, such as significant media interest coupled with the threat of ever-worsening ticket sales, could help. Boycotting doesn't sit well with me either, but the longer we as fans continue to tip over our hard earned cash to these clowns, the longer the agony will be prolonged.

Most effective thing, given the match is on TV, would be if nobody turned up at the ground to watch. Can't see this happening though.

Make that two. Had enough!

Optimism - We might not go down Pessimism - We might not stay up Reality - Our owners are shite

I wish to complain. In the strongest possible terms. 4-0? What does JDT think he's doing? He'll be playing people in their natural positions next. This wouldn't have happened under Mowbray, much less Ince, Kean and Coyle. This is what happens when you get ambitious young managers in - years of patiently built mediocrity gone to waste. Players having to be fit, having to compete for a place in the first team? I ask you. And, to cap it all, fans going away happy. It's just not on. Venkys must be livid - this will have put back their masterplan to turn Ewood Park into a chicken farm months, if not years. Get a grip Rovers! In all seriousness, well done to JDT and his team for bringing the hope back to Ewood, and to the squad for stepping up to the new challenge. Haven't felt as positive as this since Sam Allardyce took over the managership after the Paul Ince debacle. Please Venkys, don't screw it up again. ,

So happy at this news. Be even happier when he signs on the dotted line.

2-1 win. Brereton to get a brace.
