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.

Gestede has links to Steve Kean and Thats no coincidence in my opinion. As we know, Kean had no experience as a manager, but replaced Allardyce and we know how that ended. Not only that, but Allardyce sued Kean and if I'm not mistaken ended up with an out of court settlement. We now have Gestede throwing his weight around by allegedly, threatening a fan with legal action and I would not be surprised if this with the LT is down to him. He simply knows the right people in my opinion who were here from the start and his appointment has nothing to do with his ability to do the job. Just as Kean did before him, this will also end in relegation, but we could be stuck with him for a while.

An absolute toxic poisonous man, who I would imagine is the one bullying the local press. I felt something was amiss, when he supposedly came in to gain some work experience and is now somehow the main man. If I was in charge of the LT, I would rerun the story of his refusal to play and remind everyone, of what he really thinks of our club.

Pass the buck, I mean parcel.

It’s time to go Val. Not all your fault, but you knew what you were coming in to and decided to back it. Toddle off back to where you came from and take the Bully boy and his mate, with you.

I do, as I’ve read both the article on Rovers website and the LT article. If you don’t and assuming you want to know, just log on.

All the above have been denied by Elliott and the LT.

Well I do, as I read that link I just posted, which explains it.

Oh sorry, I thought you had just posted that you didn’t know what Elliott and the LT had done, for the club to ban them, but seems like you did actually know then.

Worth having a read of this Chaddy, if you don’t know what’s been happening. https://www.lancashiretelegraph.co.uk/news/25503720.lancashire-telegraph-clarifies-claims-blackburn-rovers/

Jackson is still covering Rovers, he is just banned from Ewood and has no access to the players or manager. They tried to get clubs from banning him from away games too. So far Charlton refused to do so and the club aren’t happy about that either, making some accusations about his club conduct on that too. It seems the club aren’t happy with him reporting certain things and for speaking to players without the clubs permission. There is also accusations being made about him leaking team news. There is an article online, with the LT refuting most of this, so effectively accusing the club of lying. Worth having a look, as it does make interesting reading and in my view backs up the accusations of bullying going on at the club.

Out for the season no doubt.
