Things are moving forwards and whilst we've reached out to some groups who have yet to join the coalition we are starting to get major figure head endorsements I'm proud to announce not only has this prominent supporter endorsed and put his weight behind the coalition, he's gone one step further. As one of the world's leadest designers and MBE , Wayne Hemingway has designed the Coalition badge. Welcome on board Mr Hemingway, whose also one of the honorary patrons of the BRFC Action Group

My general thoughts is Rovers has become a breeding ground over the last 15 years for people to make a quick buck, perk with zero interest in either the success or detriment their actions have on the club. We've owners who pay the deficit and are very much kept at arms length with "don't worry we've got this, we will cut your outlay" This has allowed people to get wealthy on the decline of our club. It's allowed people to get the strangest internal promotions or be given a job at a football club with zero experience of actually working at one. It's allowed strange transfers to occurr where back handers have washed through the club so those with influence get even richer. Even in the supporter base perks over heart and soul has become something I'm really struggling to get my head around, but has played its part in free reign by those who don't care one jot about our club. All they care about is the £££ that enter their accounts. I genuinely believe the Venkys ain't got a clue what's going on They've seen no discontent for years until recently. I'd go as far as saying right now it's worse than the Anderson days. A new breed of leaches that offer zero to a professional football club. This summer is gong to see gaping holes in the blood suckers story. Empty seats cannot be hidden in terms of revenue. I'm under no illusion these season tickets won't be flying off the shelves. The club may at their peril think the uprising has subsided. How wrong they are. I fully expect them to use WATR and the FF as their shield over the next two weeks suggesting they represent the majority view. Rovers are currently stuck in April, the coalition are now in September. Nice thing about sitting by a pool for a week it gives you time to focus and roadmap actions and balance probabilities. Our voice ain't for sale, we stand up because we believe we've a club worth fighting for. We are comfortable in being uncomfortable as success requires you to go to the very limit of uncomfortableness. I can only speak for myself when I look in the mirror each day. I've spent my whole life making the impossible possible, I don't quit, I don't scare, I move forwards and continue to do so with purpose and belief. Keep the faith guys, stand together and let's show the world that we really do bleed blue and white

Sorry guys just returned from Holidays.(the stooges will be pleased) I appreciate things have gone quiet, but not out of mind. Discussions on-going with the Coalition as the next step. As you'd appreciate with so many groups and individuals under one banner this takes a lot more time than previously with differing views of the next steps. We want to remain democratic as a working group though, this does not stop individual groups calling action under their banner. I'm mindful of legal obligations in the form of organised protest and are following all necessary steps to ensure we remain inside the law and can substantiate any claims. Educating is high on the agenda and trips down memory lane

Some BRFCS members are in coalition, so I think they assumed it was a BRFCS statement as one member asked them at the time to support (DIrectors stay away statement)

On what grounds?

He was originally employed to engage with Asian population of the town, to get them interested in football, as it was notable not many attended. It was to tap into this market. This is where Ewood express was really born 4 years ago. It's become more inclusive as time has progressed but it's not free. The kids still need to pay, but the door to door service allows parents to send kids with responsible team leaders. He was awarded for his efforts with the strangest promotion ever when he was given head of commercial some 12 months ago. This is where the problem lies, he's not actually achieving a thing in his new role as he's out of his depth and has a very conscious bias approach. He reverts back to his old role which should now be getting overseen by lower management as he once was and not by the commercial manager. He's in Suhails pocket (Paul agnew style) and ain't overly liked at Ewood. He's eyes on the boardroom , and tbh had he not confirmed many people's suspicions with his comment to WATR, he'd be extremely irrelevant in peoples minds right now. He's seen weakness and sees the path to fast track promotion just like Gestede. His ego is what's killed him this past week, and arrogance. However he can't become a distraction as it's the board that need to go along with venkys. New owners, new board and he will then be judged on the job he's employed to do, not the job he was use to be employed to do. The former he's failing miserably and pushing the Ewood express as his commentary to detract from the facts, he's been a useless commercial manager

From the trust, think he took a bit of battering on there tbh,

He went on Facebook n stated he'd received a full apology as it wasn't true.

Yes

Trust been clear it was said, think Yasir was upset his "walk on water " ego took a slap publicly. Not a chance the guys on trust would of lied , and this one line has hit the headlines all week. Ewood express has been brilliant, a shining light in community engagement and Yasir and the club have won awards and rightly so. However behind the scenes it's evident from Intel that rather than pass this great initiative to others to manage, so he can focus on the bigger issues like season ticket sales and re-engaging with lapsed supporters , he's basically said its a none starter. His attitude on twitter this last week was very much "if you don't attend, your opinion is neither valued and has a deep agenda attached". I've also seen the racist card played in the last 48 hours which is shameful. We live in a multi national and faith town in harmony and within the coalition (which he's hinted is racially driven) we have an inclusive set of people from different religions, race, gender and sexualality. Our own media general which I'm sure he won't mind us saying is from an ethnic/Asian background. From a personal point of view anyone who knows me, would state I've many Asian friends, different genders and many faiths within my circle . I'm a very inclusive person and take great offence to the suggestion that what's occurring is anything more than supporters being upset on how their club is being run. I find when people detract from the facts it shows both their vulnerability and ignorance.

Keeps us in the news , well done , can't get it out here , but will watch when home

To add, we've declined meetings to date

I don't want to create division, at a time where unity is growing. Duncan leaving the Trust is disappointing, and hope he's at the AGM to reconsider his position. Some Trust board members i also talk to and I don't think it's a total no, just a majority no. Obviously Katie now helping the coalition of groups and has been a breath of fresh air. Bargaining chips are out the window with the club as the voices of discontent growing louder,

I'd challenge some of the above, but like you don't know the reason and won't quote what was said to departing board members. It's a coalition of supporter groups, some of which are also legal entities and charities . Members have not been balloted or an stance seaked I'm very clear what can and can't be done by the trust as former secretary, whilst aiding their inception. Standing side by side with supporter groups is not against the mandate. The club have reached out and are desperate to get sat down with the coalition , whilst cancelling their meetings with the trust. Right now the clubs focus is the power in numbers which has lit the issues up in lights.

To follow up on @Mike Equestion earlier WATR Have again been asked tonight to join the coalition which only themselves and SAS are not part of. They have stated "there stance has not changed, they don't want to work collectively" It's disappointing, I'm sure they have their reasons. We move forwards, for change

To put some context, I challenged him on a 3 and half year deal for a man whose had 10 clubs in 10 seasons . Stating given we are potless do we put up with him if he's rubbish or then spunk our non existent funds to remove him? I can't and won't sit there nodding and agreeing with the club to garner some perk. It's critically important that supporters are not left in the dark. It's everyone's club, and the real questions with the real answers is the least supporters expect. As I said the first day I met him , "I don't want your laced biscuits or a selfie, and you can stick your balloons too. You're on borrowed time to get your ship in order or I will start a movement, which be like no other. 18 months have passed and I always keep my promises.

Always case, never go away when I do, guaranteed to have UK heatwave. Though it's in 40s in Abu Dhabi

Not bothered what Nixon has to say , still upset we bought Yakubu lol, The club does have a break clause with the manager which can be exercised at the end of the season. Source CEO Blackburn rovers Back to my holiday

Yes

More groups signed up to coalition today, leaving just 2 left in WATR and SAS . If these two join up then that's every group under one banner as momentum grows. Thank you to everyone putting so much work in to hold these people to account for what they've done to our club

I've not stopped posting, I'm just on a family holiday. I will be continuing to post as I only post what I can substantiate if stating something as a fact. Or I post my opinion on something or to keep people up to date. I've zero concerns around the legals and if anything it's the club who are requiring them more than me. Yes the usual threats and smear campaigns have come from the club, but this just galvanises all involved. As I said last week, I'm extremely calm and relaxed, I'm feeling no pressure, whilst I'm using my experience to support those new to lifting their heads above the parapet. RTID

My final post probably until I'm back , whilst we are discussing legals. The club have appointed forum and Internet spotters looking for absolutely anything they can use as a road for legal action. I've been notified "they've put a bullseye on you and despite it being badged a coalition the club's focus is taking me out". As you can see it's a difficult personal position to be in. I need to be squeaky clean in all I do , I need to be careful on what i post, what i say and in truth my personal movements. This ain't landed well with the Raos , livid probably an understatement. We are very close here at toppling the king. I'm more than happy to step away and it's never my intention to mislead or doup supporters. I care deeply about this club, and my love for it keeps me wide open for anything that can be thrown. I've got good support within the coalition as more groups join with the Norwegian supporters group being the latest one to join up. We've also had some amazing support from some supporters including many on here, some of which are in the steering group. We are possibly just 4 groups away from a full suite

Ant news on this lapsed fans quote guys? Yasir claiming you have apologised as it wasn't true on Facebook. If not then we need to know, as we will take it out of phase 4

It's a difficult task right now sadly

I'm concerned now as camera up n down 6th May , Didn't know all my medical stuff out there too. Maybe I underestimated these stooges lol
