Brockhall STC - planning permission application ?
lraC replied to Mattyblue's topic in Blackburn Rovers Fans Messageboard
It’s very easy to clarify and perhaps, put a positive spin on it, after the event. The new company that have bought it was formed in June, so why the radio silence and why does it yet again, take a fine to find out, to get the message out to the supporters? -
Brockhall STC - planning permission application ?
lraC replied to Mattyblue's topic in Blackburn Rovers Fans Messageboard
That’s the key thing here. The fans forum would surely have been told, if this was a positive. Imagine when the questions were put forward about January sales and FFP etc. if there was a solution in place, why not say so. Without wanting to have a dig, was this mentioned to Roverite during the meeting, where positive changes were mentioned? -
It goes to show how other clubs are finding things very difficult. I can’t help but wonder, how the foreign ownership and lack of real interest by such owners, can only be bad for the future of clubs like Rovers and Cardiff. Unlike us, Cardiff have had a promotion to the premier league under their current owners, yet they appear to be in a perilous position. Rovers supporters seem to think, promotion to the premier league, solves all of our problems, but I don’t think that’s the case.

I was happy to see the back of Allardyce, as I hate his style of football. Like the rest of us, I didn’t know what was coming with Kean to follow, or the debacle that is the owners, ever since. If ever anyone needs lessons in how to go from one of the best run football clubs, to one of the worst, in a decade, look no further.

Is this on Rovers TV?

That’s more like it.

I honestly think there are more than that Josh. Lots love the club, but hate what is going on and would rally round, in the hour if need.

I agree, I thought he was pretty good.

It’s looking like Travis is struggling.

only if you live abroad.

This bad advice, seems to follow these humble people around. Good job these stories, are just musings in a blog!! https://www.mirror.co.uk/sport/football/news/blackburn-chairwoman-anuradha-desai-faces-3314094.amp

This is why we are angry Tony and in answer to your question, about how far we want to go back, about eleven years please. https://www.google.co.uk/amp/s/www.dailymail.co.uk/sport/football/article-1347547/amp/The-Bollywood-billionaires-Blackburn.html

Don’t forget, Mowbray has described the owners, as very humble people. https://m.timesofindia.com/city/pune/venkys-director-among-4-booked-after-manager-alleges-assault/articleshow/34550989.cms

It’s almost certainly the attraction of a big signing on fee, that makes a move attractive. Say the same wage to move from Rovers to club B are on offer, but because the buying club have no transfer fee to pay, then the player gets a slice of that would have been. The strategy perhaps, should be, we pay the equivalent of that fee to keep them, as a re signing bonus and wages at the same level, but perhaps it isn’t as simple as that.

Absolutely, the town and the surrounding area suffer badly, as well as the people directly involved. They may not be the worst owners ever, but they are by far the worst thing that has happened to the club, since I started going in 1973.

I will raise a glass of Claret to him on Saturday night, if he does.

If ever there was a must win fixture this is surely it. After the frustration of throwing away a two goal half time lead again, in the last home game, for the second time this season, the frustrating theme, seemed to be the order of the day, even before the game started on Tuesday night. Reading sit above us in the league and have won two of their last 3 away fixtures, including an impressive 2-1 victory at Fulham. Given that I don’t want to big up the opposition, I am hoping we set off on the front foot and go at them, as I would settle for a 2-0 half time lead again, with the half time team talk being, go for a third, not sit back and protect what we have got, which seemed to be the case, with both the Luton and Coventry fixtures. If we fail to win this one, then I think the fans will start to look over our shoulders. A win, could just settle the nerves and give a tiny bit of hope to even the staunchest of fans, who seem to be losing their faith. Sadly I don’t see us winning it and predict another frustrating afternoon and go for a 1-1 draw.

I think you are wrong with the job losses. Sadly plenty of the lower paid people, such as ticket office staff, have paid the price.

The only was Venkys will appoint someone who can deliver, will be if they sign up to just eat, to get some of their chicken distributed.

It’s about time Mowbray grew some.

New 17 games season ticket unveil by BRFC
lraC replied to chaddyrovers's topic in Blackburn Rovers Fans Messageboard
Perhaps Waggott can have a word with Mowbray and ask him why he decided to frustrate QPR and at the same time, frustrate all the Rovers fans too? Maybe the theme of frustration may be totally apt, by the time we get to the Sheff U fixture, when we see no increase in the home attendance figures, due to the fans thinking, another dire performance and frustrating afternoon, is not worth £15. I bet the CEO will then be very frustrated. -
One think I have thought about, when it comes to the money available for players and their wages. I wonder how a club like Accrington Stanley would fair if someone gave them £20 million a year to waste?

Summer transfer window 2021.
lraC replied to chaddyrovers's topic in Blackburn Rovers Fans Messageboard
Just the same really as Warnock being lined up, as manager and then Coyle appointed at the last minute. The unstable nature of the club and the farcical nature, in which the owners make their decisions, go hand in hand. Do not be too surprised if Mowbray is given a new contract at the last minute, if the owners realise, that paying someone who could manage the club and move us forward costs more than they are willing to pay. The £20 million they supposedly pump in every year, may as well be donated to the local Indian children's home, as it will do more good there, than it ever will throwing it away at our club every year. -
Lancashire Telegraph's Rovers Coverage

Mix that in with a Burnley fan having more fun than he would in a brothel and they may struggle to attract many subscribers.
