The strange case of Benjamin Brereton. Until recently nothing seemed to be going for him but now everything he tries seems to pay off. For example the second goal against Cardiff where he lost the ball or mishit it about 4 times but it still ended up in the net. I've heard rumours that he visited a certain crossroads in Mississippi sometime last year!! Really enjoying his success and it is a nice distraction from the fact that Venky's are still here. I'll be gutted if Brereton is sold and we don't re-invest - that would be a complete U-turn on Mowbray's 'journey'.

How is it that your money will be going to ELH? Is that the entire ticket money ? Sounds interesting,

I appreciate your actions as a concerned fan but as you will not divulge any details of why you believe Rovers are turning a corner, it is difficult to get on board with your enthusiasm. I've said before, if you have managed to make contact with Suhail or the Raos then well done but if it is Steve Waggott you are talking to then you are probably wasting your time. I think you need to be a bit more forthcoming before anyone else can understand where you are coming from on this.

I agree, one way or another something will change at some point - but what is the highlighted section all about ? Is there really any plan other than to pay the bills, ignore the fans and plod on until they get totally bored? I know you have been talking about positive signs recently but I can't see any.

There may be no evidence ( that you have seen ) of third parties being interested in buying Rovers - but things may be happening that we don't know about. There is also no evidence that Venky's will suddenly start taking a proper interest in the club. The last 11 years suggest they won't. At some point they will bail out and the future of the club may depend on their actions at that time. The longer they stay the more money they may try to recoup. So the sooner they go the better - I'd be confident we would get new owners with a lot more respect for the club and the fans and the town - maybe less money but more engagement. Venky's riches are just wasted anyway due to their own incompetence.

Someone else takes over. Maybe someone with the clubs best interests at heart - Is that not a possibility ?

Venky's financial backing is worth nothing without any other constructive input. May as well throw the money down the toilet. How many times are you prepared to be disappointed before you realise Venky's are bad news for the club - no point clinging to false hopes that they will come good one day. Eventually they will decide enough is enough and administration would then be a real possibility - may as well get it over with.

Derby, Wigan,Bolton,Coventry,Portsmouth ( twice ), Crystal Palace, Southampton,Bournemouth,Leicester,QPR, Leeds,Rotherham If they can all survive administration and come back stronger, I'm sure Rovers can.

I wonder if Venky's will try and cash in on Brereton in January while he is a hot property. Dack was definitely going in Jan 2020 and Armstrong was always going to go in the summer. Sell any major assets seems to be the order of the day. I'm sure it will be discussed if Mowbray is going to Pune next week. Venky's interest in the club ( if they have any at all ) is currently based on running costs rather than success on the pitch. I wouldn't be surprised to see him go.

Two deliberate own goals and a sending off in one game - it's not unreasonable to bear a grudge. The guy has no morals.

You say you have been communicating with people at the club. If it is Suhail or the Raos then well done - the least they should be doing is talking to the fans - I don't see why you wouldn't be able to confirm your contacts even if you want to keep the subject matter secret. If it is Steve Waggott you are talking to then you are wasting your time - I know from personal experience. You are asking people to believe that positive moves are on the horizon when there is no evidence whatsoever, yet you say a potential buyer is not credible because you have not seen any evidence - you can't have it both ways. I hope that your optimism is not unfounded but I would be much happier if it is the billionaire interest that materialises.

I'd say you are an optimistic pessimist.

I was struggling to understand why Waggott would be so open about the contract situations. Other clubs and potential suitors probably know what's going on via the agents but to make it so public will surely alienate the players and reduce the chances of a successful conclusion from our point of view. But he can now say "I did warn you" if they are sold and "Look how great I am" if they end up re-signing. All about Waggott self preservation, not for the benefit of Blackburn Rovers. Venky's Out

Makes you wonder what we agree to when we take on these young loanees. Have we agreed to play them for a guaranteed number of games? Seems pointless to me when we have our own youngsters who are equally as good if not better.

Buckley is 22 next month - not particularly young to be breaking into the first team. Perhaps he won't develop physically beyond his current stature. Has he got the mental strength to impose himself ? There are a lot of aspects of an individual player that make it impossible to know how they will develop. Many players show potential but don't fulfil it for one reason or another. I hope your confidence is rewarded but predicting the future is probably harder than rocket science.

Really happy ( and surprised ) with the points haul so far this season - despite not being particularly convincing in any match. I just hope Mowbray doesn't jump on a plane to Pune during the next international break - he'll probably bag himself a new 3 year deal on the strength of it.

Be honest now, did anyone else nod off. I'm going to set an alarm half way through the second half in case I do it again.

So, the obvious question - why did he sign him 3 times ?

I agree. I've never seen anything in Travis other than endeavour. He doesn't create going forward and he can't defend. He does try hard and puts in the odd crunching tackle and I believe he cares more than a lot of players but he contributes little, sadly.

Radio Lancs have had the benefit of seeing replays and said it was 100% red card. No doubt about it.

Scottish football club names are great - St Johnstone, Queen of the South, Hearts, Raith Rovers etc. .Looking up some of the reasons for these names is very educational. I once met a bloke from Falkirk who supported East Sterling and it was years before I realised why ( google if you are interested ) I always thought FC United of Manchester missed a trick and could have come up with a much more interesting or cryptic name - Real Newton Heath or something. If Venky's do eventually lead us into bankruptcy then I'd hope we could come up with an interesting name for a phoenix club (sorry totally off topic )

I agree - it's our only weapon really - if we aren't happy with the owners we should show it. A one off protest where nobody attends - it will have more affect than a few hundred extra attending a game

And that is why we need to be free from Venky's Maybe pick a game as a one off & just see how many we could encourage NOT to go, Let the owners know we are not happy.

I wonder who did the approaching ? Presumably not Waggott. Sad state of affairs if we can't tempt an out of work manager who lives down the road. Did we then just give up and say 'sod it - Mowbray will do for another season'!

I hope Madam D watches it and gets a reminder of the legacy she has promised to respect.
