If it was his decision to leave, it seems odd that we'd pay him for another 12 months - even by our standards.

It depends on what he knows and I suspect that will be plenty.

That’s a one off. He ain’t gonna be perfect every week. Nonetheless he’s been outstanding. Clearly and upgrade on pears 

He reads the game better too and acts as the sweeper when necessary.

TFFT.

Its horrible seeing what’s going on, as I hate Rovers losing.

It was a mixture of emotions at full time, delighted with the win, but we still have huge problems 

The results are becoming irrelevant now, just as they are with SWFC.

The only thing that matters, is somehow getting rid of the owners.

More hope in the offing after the announcements of the protests for the Derby game.

Resigned to relegation this season, but pray we can get them out.

Please tell me they were booed off at half time 🙏

The commentators didn’t mention it, but my wife did.

Sick of this shit every week.

The Rovers commentary are delusional as fuck

They have to toe the line. Try it with no sound, it’s far better, oh and try to block the score out of your mind and just admire the quality and average age of the team. 

At least we can see how strong we are and how much better the quality is compared to last season.

Relegation, no chance we are suddenly going to click and go on a great run.

Is it just me who cannot see the "match centre" on Rovers site, so cannot access the stream

Same here, from Spain.

They might be in for a but of STICK for this, as plenty have paid for the season long pass, who live abroad.

There you go, recent boycott "increased the financial pressure on the club". This is probably the only way Venky's ever leave, without administration. The clubs hierarchy are desperate to relieve the financial burden off the owners.

For Rovers, it sems unlikely we'd manage to get a full boycott like Wednesday did other night but fans are clearly voting with their feet anyway as crowds are down. 

Fair play to them for doing what they did and more importantly for getting the media attention too.

It is time for us to act too. 

Just a thought, but given what has happened today with SWFC what about getting a petition going to be delivered to the club and to Venky's HQ. This could also be made public by way of the press and maybe the timing could be such that it hits the headlines on the same day as the Derby.

A Vote of no confidence

We the understand, being a supporter and past or current attendee at Blackburn Rovers fixtures, call for owners to either sell the club, or put the club into administration.

Given that the club are reputedly losing in the region of £73,000 per day, we see the club as being no longer financially viable and call upon the owners to acknowledge this and do the right thing.

As a 150 year institution, we as fans deserve better and cannot support this regime any longer and given that the club is nothing without the fans, we implore you to do the right thing.

Sadly, lots of people do not understand the difference, between administration and liquidation.

I think our only hope is that a 'whistleblower' from the last 15 years comes forward and opens up any can(s) of worms!

Doubt it will be that straightforward!

Difficult to comment without more specifics but a lender which has taken security has a number of options available when it comes to enforcing its security.

Reasonable care must be taken to obtain the best price reasonably obtainable for the asset - these duties are owed to all creditors (other secured, preferential and other unsecured) and also to the borrower! 

 

I realised after I posted this, that he might own it in his own name and not a company he owns, I simply don't know.

Any lender will obviously repossess if the Mortgage isn't paid and just like a residential repo, they will then sell for the best price they can, as you have stated.

Really? The worst of both worlds for Weds fans, you've gotta feel for them. We know only too well about poor ownership. 

I think he has borrowings on that (Separate Limited Company), so with a bit of luck, the Mortgage provider will repossess it and sell that to the administrators, assuming it is in default, which from memory it is

7 minutes ago, davulsukur said:

 

Agree with both of you. Short term pain for Wedneday fans but a real chance to move forward without Chansiri.

We'll be relegated and still have Venky's. Absolute torture.

I think our only hope, is that somehow the pressure from WATR the coalition and the other groups makes them cave. 

How crazy is it that us fans, want us to enter administration, so desperate are we to get rid of these parasites.

Is it true Gestede and Owen said at the FF on Monday that they aren't worried about a relegation battle because the "data" suggests otherwise?

This is exactly why I have said what I have about the fans forum meetings.

Can someone who was there confirm what the response was to that nugget?

I hope they were taken to task over it and that this was recorded in the minutes.

They are way out of their depth spouting this sort of stuff

Yep, in the PL days we'd get 20k home fans vs United. Now it's more like 10k. That's 50% of the fanbase who've left. That's shocking tbqh. A lot of it is a quiet boycott, myself included.

Rovers fans need to get serious. It may be difficult to achieve but get home crowds really down closer to 5k. Stop buying merch and food like Wednesday are doing. 

The fanbase, I'm sorry to say, have been a soft touch and we need a serious plan to safeguard the future of our club.

Protests, boycotts, hit them in their pockets, media. A multi pronged move on the ownership.

I actually think there were about 5k on last night in the home sections.

Two ideas I've seen mentioned that I like are everyone dressing in black to symbolise the death of Blackburn Rovers and the red cards.

The black clothing would be very effective as a one off if enough people did it and the media could be tipped off to attend in advance. I've stopped going until there's any sign of improvement but Id happily don my funeral suit and go down for that.

The red cards, well once they've been handed out, no-one can stop you bringing them into a ground and they can be used again and again, no limit to that.

Also the 135/15 idea is a very powerful message, needs to be plenty done themed around that I feel.

The coalition have been planning a protest for that game, from what I’ve heard. . These ideas on top, will hopefully mean it’s given some real impetus.

Have to agree with your comment earlier in the week that the Forum is now a negative influence.

Merely being prepared to sit down with the  barstewards partially legitimises their presence and if what is reported in the minutes isn't a true reflection of what was actually said anyway it's all completely pointless.

The last straw for any rational fan should have been the Club's refusal to try and meet Eustace half way when Derby came in for him. The FF should have walked out of the next meeting and refused to reconvene until there were signs of improvement.

I hope they realise that and boycott these pointless meetings.

If the comment made earlier about the invitation to watch them train, so that they can see the team spirit is true, it’s an insult to their intelligence.

The team spirit in our Sunday league team was honestly amazing, but we all knew we were crap.

In what world would Rovers sign off scathing minutes? They banned the LT for skirting round the edges of what was going on...

Exactly, so what’s the point of the fans forum?

Can anyone honestly say, anything positive comes out of their meetings?

He just signed a contract extension…🤷🏼‍♂️

I know he has and I will bet my bottom dollar that is to ensure they get a better price for him, when they force him out.

Read Timmy Jimmy's post and and consider Scott to not only be a fan, but one who stuck up for the people who have been bullied out of the club, not to mention how shabbily his brother was treated, as some on here will testify.

FF members apparently invited to Brockhall to see how good the team spirit is.

I hope the visit is this morning.

What a load of bollocks and cements my comments made about a cosy little meeting

The team spirit is getting us plenty of points (Not) and this is the problem. They constantly hide behind shite like this and statements like, how exciting the summer will be.

We haven't seen the minutes yet, but unless they are as scathing as the accurate version from last time, I call for a vote of no confidence in the Fans Forum.

I'd make an exception for Scott Wharton, but you're right and he's suffering the same malaise as the rest.

I suspect that all isn’t well between Scott and the stooges.

Just a hunch that, but it feels that way.

Pasha the fat rat has been the one orchestrating this bonkers strategy and setting Gestede/Owens up to be the scapegoats when it goes wrong.

He is the one who drove out JDT and Eustace. He is the one who pushed the crackpot summer window replacing proven players with nobodies from abroad. He is the one who has driven out any dissenting voices be it academy prospects like Leonard, coaches and other staff.

If the turd Pasha hangs around whilst the others get sacked then we are no further forward in removing any of the poison from the club.

Not sure where you’ve got your info from Carl, but I certainly wouldn’t agree.

Good to hear Duncan. I look forward to reading the minutes, if it’s not, what I heard.

Any idea when they are being released and will I be a fair reflection of the meeting? 
I did hear what I posted, from some who attended last time and refused to attend this due to the farce with the minutes.
