He said on season tickets, he sets a financial income target to those in commercial tasked with the pricing. He does not care how the target is hit, be that £100 for a season ticket and 30000 sales, or the price we have now. Its purely ensuring the revenue is hit. If we had done them half the price and sold twice what we have, he'd be happy with that, as the revenue forecast has been hit. So basically based on above the commercial/marketing team have took the safe route of we may sell 9000 so divide that forecast by 9000 and thats the price, making their own job easier than trying to entice fans back and fail the forecast. Lazy thinking if you ask me

They are out of their depth, its like that cancelled concert last year , where they sanctioned the use of the ground, let all the marketing be done at Ewood etc. To then nearly have to pull it themselves before the organisers did as they'd not asked for planning position or seaked permission from the council. It wasnt rovers event, but its their ground. To top it off they didnt do due diligence and these people have disappeared off the map, refunds have not been issued and contact details are no longer active. £££££s over sense

For today's catastrophe to gain any sympathy from a wider audience (remembering outside the supporter base its a transfer that aint happened and nothing more). This needs a roll of honour putting together of all the mistakes this board has made. Does every body remember the article of Steve Keans Lies? All his quotes in one article? This went global and caused significant damage to his tenure and future employment opportunities. To strike down this board, it needs pure facts in an article, in a press release, reminding firstly our supporter base of the mistakes, but also opening the eyes to those outside of our supporter base that this is not in isolation. I learnt a lot during the chess match years ago, and if you are gonna swing, do the opposite to what they expect, as they don't see it coming Press conferences suddenly become about whats happening off the pitch and that's how supporters ultimately get heard and the message hits the sweet spot "the owners"

The strange thing for me, if I was to rank the latest episode it would rank a lot down the table in terms of the "darkest hours" under Venkys. However the reaction to this is off the scale in terms of supporter opinion, im struggling to find (since the statement) a single person not baying for blood. I didnt see this sort of reaction on two relegations Who'd of thought?

I'm half tenpted to put the owners mobile numbers out on here. If a co-ordinated text bomb from 100s hit their phones at the same time, there maybe heads rolling, especially as one number is the very personal, whilst the other is the business mobile?

You'd think so, but globally the outside world dont see us as an issue

Seriously what next? As fans now what is the answer. The Raos genuinely think as a supporter base we are happy. This board of directors has had the easiest of times ever in 5 years. An apology, an excuse for their actions from the majority of attending supporters or those who see them. I'd like to think todays latest fiasco will turn the tide and we as supporters start holding them accountable, but i still cant see where that fight is coming from?

No one is holding them accountable, even now on other forms of social media people are still defending the loons

How do we explain the Rochdale lad not being signed?

Swaggott will spin this to the owners that he has made them £10 million by not spending it

Here is a story which goes back to 2012. A gentleman by the name of Jack Mcleod made contact with me whilst I was the chair of the action group. He was quite a unique person in that he was the youngest person to ever become a shareholder of the club, and when he made contact was also the oldest living supporter who still had shares. His Father in the early part of the last century had been chair of the supporters group. As a person he was well decorated with achievements ranging from the Queens Golden Jubilee Medal in 2002, the british defence medal in 1945 to over 50 globally recognised achievements of the highest order. Having got ill, he decided he wanted to donate his shareholding to the action group, as he wanted to support the supporters in anyway he could. He wrote a letter to Ian Silvestor initially as they hadnt sent him the shareholders report. However he also made it clear his wishes to transfer ownership of his shares. As part of his letter he instructed the club that the action group secretary would be acting on his behalf in the UK as he now lived in Canada. What he got back was Silvestor saying if he gave the shares to the action group, then the club will not recognise his shareholding and recind its existence. However Silvestor went one step further; he wrote a letter to tell Mr Mcleod that he needs to write a letter back to the club and include the attached paragraphs clearly stating he is not going to transfer them to the Action group. This correspondence which I have it all, is shocking to read. The club knew he was elderly, but continued to threaten him until he he finally could fight no more and bowed to these demands. This is our club secretary, I wasnt going to share this but as someone contacted me on twitter claiming he is the most hardworking guy, i couldn't let people think he is a victim of thr web. He is a horrible person as his emails which I can provide but wont post on BRFCS paint exactly the type of man he is.

Whatever the issue is on two players, be that forgot to send something, failed to agree something, didnt sign something, sent something late. We knew the deadline, This sadly whatever the reason is from our part is a direct result of having the wrong people in the boardroom, amateurs the lot of them. Deadline day is exactly that, the last day to get deals done. However its not the only day, there was plenty of days prior to Tuesday. We are not exactly filing 1000's of documents , we are transferring a players registration as a loan, with an obligation to buy should we get promoted. That last bit, is not really relevant in terms of the registration, as it may not happen. Thats more of a legal agreement between the two clubs. The wages etc, again i would not expect that to be disclosed under data protection to the EFL. We do our reporting under FFP as an annual submission with collective values. I can see they are doing overtime at Rovers to find a plausible excuse to feed the supporters, if these dont happen or indeed if they do happen. I aint eating their crap, some may, but the clubs form suggest, we have cocked up

Ian Sylvestor is responsible for player registrations, he was also responsible for the "fax machine fiasco" Sylvestor strangely enough brought in during the Anderson regime continues to go under the Radar and on numerous occassions peddled the line "i just do as im told". Lets take a look at his roll of honour. 1. Applied for work permits for staff, covered up the fact that Shaw hid the said permits, which left us running with a skeleton medical crew for 3 months. (Have evidence and testimony to support) 2. Leaked transfer information to 3rd party agents and player contract information of existing players. 'Have emails, text and testimony to support" 3. Threatened a shareholder that the club would recind his shareholding if he transfered ownership of the said shares to a supporter group. These threats in which i have all the letters are incredible reading. Sylvestor is in a unique position that he can stop any transfer, if the agenda dont suit. He was placed in the club by SEM (strange he is still there and holds significant influence on things like transfer deadline day) I ask of anyone engaging with these clowns, to do their homework, investigate fully and continue to hold these people accountable

Yes, posted on this the couple of weeks ago, Bar them starting the onerovers fund (an initiative i put to the club, and also got the B & D Council to back it in advance) it was a complete waste of time

I can only write what came out the horses mouth. Venkys dont fill in transfer papers, They have a lot to answer, but pointing the finger on then for this latest episode is not where the anger should lie, despite them appointing these clowns

Waggott clearly stated in the meeting he has full autonomy to run the club. This is purely on the board

We've already had one public court case with Shaw over incompetence. They wouldn't think twice about making it two public cases Have another read of this. https://www.sportskeeda.com/football/misery-at-blackburn-rovers-leaked-documents-reveal-harrowing-details-of-the-indian-rule-at-riverside

If and its a big if, these deals don't happen due to further incompetence within the board room, then sack the board needs to start ringing loud and clear. Thats potentially a £200 million pound fuck up, if we do not go up or at least maintain our current position. its unforgiveable to be honest. Its not the first time our mismanagement has cost us players. Football is a multi billion pound industry and if we cannot do the basics which the other 91 clubs can, then its time to call it a day

Won't increase those values from behind their desk or the lethargic attempts of looking no further than a 2 mile radius. A point I made to SW, when they threw in that different genders is part of their new USP Rather than catchment area

Undav will do for me, a bit older; more experienced and has scored goals where he has been.

Lost interest in the main, the football is dire and i cannot relate with the club or its management team. However i have friends i only see at football, so will look for my season ticket at some point this month (cant remember where i put it) and drag myself there for the first time since i went the Burnley game against Wigan. Not sure if the mid season break impacted things, or the second meeting with Waggott where i realised all hopes I clinged to were lost, and like the Ex Wife, i just dont know this club anymore.

Didnt drink it first time lol. However, on self-evaluation, maybe i've lost my edge, maybe the empathy and complete lack of fight i've seen over the last 5 years has taken its toll on how far i will go nowadays especially with my own health not the best. 10 years ago , 365 days , 20 hours a day, travelling thousands of miles, investing £1000's of pounds and having a clear mandate as an elected chair of a group, i had a mandate and duty to find the truth no matter what and fight for what was right. I just do not see that now within the supporter base in the main. 99% are very much reactive to results and couldnt care less about the Venkys or who is in the boardroom. I will always fight the "good fight" if there is one to fight. I just don't see the desire from the majority, which in turn is the drug which lights the fire in my belly, to risk anymore than what I've previously given up. I will go back to watching from afar and hopefully someone will rise from the ashes and give us all something to get behind, to get our club back

At work, we always hold a second interview when recruiting for this very reason. We do an initial evaluation and then invite back the candidates who have impressed. Our train of thought quite often changes second time around.

It was more of seeing a girl in a room striking up a conversation, and agreeing to go on a date. Whilst on the date, your inner self deciding straight away "big mistake" I'd done the sizing in the first encounter, took stock, given him a little too much credit and once i'd regrouped my thoughts attended a second meeting, where the inaccuracies from the first meeting shone through like the best summer day i'd seen, it was blatantly obvious that even engaging was a mistake

100% never put swag above Williams et al, even from meeting one, he didn't come across of having those qualities. My wording reading it back is not the best. Personable he came across well first meeting, which John didn't always. However we are talking a rolls royce with Williams, and A Nissan Micra with Waggott; in terms of acumen, understanding and actually seeing further than his own nose
