It says in the fans forum minutes, the court hearing doesn’t affect the club. -

And Waggott has the brass neck to keep spouting how committed the owners are and how they never fail to sign a cheque. -
We are going down (the pessimism thread)

Norwich are not definitely in the play offs. Highly likely due to the goal difference, but I can’t imagine them playing a weakened team and risking a heavy defeat. -
It was possible to buy a season long pass for Rovers TV this year and watch all league games, if you live abroad. I paid £140 for that and granted I didn’t make any encouraging noises to spur the players on!!! but did pay when I know some choose to watch free streams. I did manage a couple of games too when back and did tend to plan my trips back around Rovers games, so it is possible to do from abroad. Whether the owners CEO and played deserve that is up for debate.

Someone described him as a fine manager on here today. He is probably a fined manager for his red card, but that’s about it. -

I bought some of them new Viagra eye drops. They have done nothing for my love life but have made me look hard. -

Waggott pointed out yet again on Tuesday night at the awards night, just how luck we are to have such wonderful owners. -

Hopefully we won’t be, but by 6.00pm tomorrow, we could be 0 points clear of 22nd. -

Greg should be all over it being the master of spotting these things and a leg end in his own lunchtime. Just in case he isn’t, can you send him an E Mail. Make sure you press send and not save, as we don’t want to be giving him any excuses. -
It's quite a sobering thought having to look forward to a relegation battle every season. Obviously we may still go down this season, but if not, then dependant on the prices, it could be worth letting Waggott know we want some assurances on the owners funding and aims for the coming season, before renewing. It is all well and good being a loyal fan, but they are now trying the patience of the most ardent amongst us.

No wins at Ewood in 8 attempts for starters. I’m a Rovers fan and if I see a manager coming out with sound bites and making out things are all rosey, when I can clearly see the exact opposite, he becomes unpopular in my mind. If I feel that way, unless I am the exception, then I suspect others will too. Do you have any evidence that he is popular and do you feel in your heart of hearts that he is popular either with you, or the fans in general?

The difference between JDT’s style of football and demeanor and enthusiasm compared to Mowbray are poles apart. As was being eluded to here, had he been backed, not only was he likely to get us up, he would have done it in style. That ship has sailed and will not be back in the harbor any time soon.

Prepare for the doomsday scenario, as we are highly likely in my opinion, to be relying on that to fund running costs. We have already been lied to once about the tax changes, thinly disguised as illegal payments made by the owners, which in turn led to court permission to release funds. This was then a sure thing come February according to Waggott and again in March, which as we all now know, is now a sue thing in August, but I see it as being far from certain. The club celebrated the ladies team, getting a top six place last night and presented various prizes for the achievements of both the men and ladies sides. No mention of the abject failure, just a quick one liner from the CEO to say, how wonderful the owners are, despite what some people think. Next summers failed marquee transfer excuse is being thought up in the corridors in Pune I suspect, as they never fail to sign a cheque and it isn't their fault that people are pressing the wrong buttons in a dark dingy office in down town Blackburn. -

It's been tried, with no joy so far. He looked entrenched to me last night, but just stood back observing and did not get involved. As we already know, he is running it and Waggott is just a stooge. -

I agree and with some of the back slapping last night, you would have thought we had won the league. I noticed Pasha did a good job of blending into the background too. -

I quite often come on here to get a crumb of comfort, reading what other fans have to say and knowing that we go though things as a collective, rather than wallowing in some of the crazy decisions being made at the club. The two posts on the previous page made by Vyeo and JH Rover are both absolutely brilliant and sum up an awful lot of what I also feel. Despite things looking very grim right now and our immediate future being perilous, having people on here sharing the pain and caring so much about the club, does still give me hope. As individual fans, we are pretty powerless, but I do firmly believe that eventually the incompetents in place (including the current manager) especially the owners and current CEO will be gone and we will all still be around to see the club ride again.- 1959 replies
