It’s simply indefensible that signing and I find it hard to believe a Rovers fan wants to defend this crazy signing.

The blame game has started then.

He is on record, in what is believed to be the true version of the Fans Forum minutes as follows in the extract I have cut and pasted as below. GM – Stated Jones had been part of an instrumental time at the club with key players coming through the academy, notably Adam Wharton who was sold for what appears to be below market value to pay bills, with no reinvestment into the squad with those funds. SS- Stated that no one knew Wharton would be a good player at youth level whilst AO Stated no one pays more for a championship player, GM – Gave the recent £40m plus addons sale of Jobe Bellingham as a rebuttal, whilst refuting SS Claim on Wharton who had been the worse kept secret in years as a player very much expected to progress to the first team since during the emergence of his brother. AO Acknowledged, other championship players have gone for much more money than the previous suggestion of Wharton’s value being market value.

I know how you felt with how the whole transfer was handled Tony and fully agree. It is about as shocking as it gets, how we threw this away and how we treated not only a superb talent, but a Rovers fan and from a Rovers supporting family. One other huge thing to say, not the slightest sign of him refusing to sign a contract, like many before him. That ensured Rovers at least got something for him, despite it being the steal of the century for Palace. The fans and the Wharton family did not deserve to be let down like this and Pasha should have been immediately handed his notice, with the comments he made in the fans forum. No wonder he wanted the real version of the minutes hidden.

Fortunately, most people can see through this now.

He is Morishita than Scott Sellars and most other players of that era.

Dramatic irony really. Killer thought the body was buried for good | Lancashire Telegraph

It always leads back to one thing only and that is they are hiding something and scared of it coming out. liken it to the house on Nuttall Street that had the body in the drains. That would have never come to light, without the house being sold and demolished.

Ditto, although, I am in Europe, so no problem getting up with the lards, fortunately.

I noticed the bookmakers have you at 2/1 which seems very generous, considering our woes. Nice to see you on here again BTW hope we give you a game. Are you going?

I suppose you can give him some credit for being honest and hope it remains that way, after what we have suffered in the past, especially the very first appointment, these owners made.

Who was it?

There are a lot of other factors to take into consideration, when appointing new manager, but for whatever reason, Rovers seem to have ignored the recent record of both Coyle and now Ismael. Both, had a very poor record at all other clubs bar one, but the craziest thing with Ismael, is the length of the contract. Who made that decision and what was the rationale?

This article describes the fans as being the last line of defence. Perhaps some should take note of that instead of blindly accepting their lot. https://therealefl.co.uk/2025/07/16/blackburn-rovers-deserve-better-than-this-ownership-farce/

We have seen it before, pay rises and extended contracts and even a bonus paid if relegation happened built in, so ability and success don’t not matter. Its jobs for the boys and this has not changed in 15 years, as this regime know, some will stay loyal to the club, no matter what they do.

The club are taking full advantage of people with this mindset. I don’t think there are many who have not yet seen the light and there will be even less, when we go down again.

The club are relying on retaining as many optimists as they can, so that they can carry on hoodwinking them, that they are doing a good job and carry on raking in the money. Crazy statements like, we have a better squad than last year and it is going to be an exciting summer, are two examples of the utter nonsense being spouted. It is very muck akin to the ridiculous claims that a certain manger used to make about the new Wayne Rooney and the new chris Smalling etc and look how that ended up. More people are fortunately now seeing through this and dare I say, even our resident optimist, might be less positive, if we are cut adrift my Christmas. It is all well and good backing certain things and remaining loyal to the cause, but when something you have real passion and care for, is being destroyed by the people who are supposed to be looking after and caring for it, is time to recognise that, or it will be destroyed forever.

Hi Glen, I am happy to put the feelers out for a fighting fund and understand the need for some discretion. Can you give post an idea of the amounts needed and what the general ideas are and I will start up a go fund me. I will also make a donation and start the ball rolling.

Not to mention their bank accounts.

I am pretty sure, we won't get an explanation from the club, as they did their level best to stick to the ones they accepted, which, according to Glen's version, were nothing like accurate. These have been published on here, along with the other two versions, but if anyone wants all 3 drop me a PM. It is yet another ideal opportunity for the LT this, as it is a story with the Headline reading something like: Blackburn Blackout We are gagged, and the fans are Gagged, so why do the power brokers at the club feel the need for this?

We will be handed our arses on this one. Robins V Ismael, no contest and I could formulate a plan to beat Rovers myself right now, with the players Stoke will have at their disposal, irrespective of our line up. At least a 2 goal defeat and I think the crowd will turn.

It's now a lethal combination, of the dross we have signed, together with a poor manager. Given the start Ismael had with last years squad, I had made my mind up early about him, but he did at least turn that around. The chances of him turning this around now are pretty remote, hence the return of W2 D0 and lost 6 counting the league cup loss that is, which does count in my book.

There is little doubt about that and I think his excuses and games of passing the buck, are simply to try to keep some fans onside and ensure, he at least has some people feeling sorry for him, even though the numbers seem to be dwindling.

He is not blind to it, he has simply accepted that the signings were big risks and highly likely to fail. I cannot feel sorry for someone, who has just sat back and accepted that, as he is as much to blame as the other two stooges and the owners.
