  1. some of the theories on here are worse than QANON
  2. All Shall Perish - There Is No Business To Be Done On A Dead Planet
  3. this is true one rovers fan i've seen on twitter has his location as happy clapper land. They took the club plodding along in mediocrity with falling standards, failing infrastructure, and falling attendance as some to justify further mediocrity and decline
  4. He won’t be that cheap as he’s a first team coach at United
  5. There are a few rovers fans with followers past 6/7k on twitter maybe they could be used to promote some of the initiative for protesting, i'm sure one of two of them frequent this messageboard...
  6. protests wont work ( doesn't mean they should not happen ) as they will not get mass support, far to many are happy with the venkys pay to keep the club going narrative and we should be grateful. Far to many social media happy clappers have slapped down anyone not happy some prominant rovers fans on twitter are guilty of this, but their concited smugness all formed part of that narrative of be grateful to venkys. There will be people like me who protested before but don't have passion or fire to do it again. I don't attend games anymore and follow whats happening from a mental distance. Venkys will drag the club under before letting it go, the be grateful brigade have played a small part in that. Because to them getting likes and being smug on twitter was more important ( whilst no doubt never going to Ewood )
  7. From the athletic tonight Duncan McGuire’s transfer to Blackburn Rovers from Orlando City is once again on the verge of collapsing due to a Blackburn error in registering the player, sources briefed on the situation tell The Athletic. Blackburn is appealing against the decision – the latest U-turn in an on again/off again deadline day saga. McGuire was on a flight to England on Wednesday morning with a deal agreed to Blackburn, only for Blackburn to tell Orlando and McGuire’s agent they had to pull out of the deal. McGuire still flew to England and went to a hotel in Sheffield as other clubs mounted efforts to sign him on deadline day. Blackburn got back into the mix on a different deal, with Orlando agreeing to new terms. Sources within Orlando City say the club would feel awful for the player if the decision isn’t reversed on appeal. Orlando never wanted to lose McGuire in the first place, but accepted his desire to push for a move and twice agreed to terms with Blackburn, including once after the club abruptly pulled out of an agreed deal on Wednesday. As things stand, McGuire will not be able to be registered to appear in matches for Blackburn until the next window, which is after the Championship season ends this summer. In the agreed-upon deal, McGuire was set for a loan until the summer with Blackburn holding a purchase option. What happens next is still being decided. McGuire can still return to Orlando, play in MLS, and see what happens in the summer. McGuire was at Ewood Park on Saturday watching from the stands with his agent as Blackburn fell 2-1 to QPR. The club’s other deadline-day signings, including Billy Koumetio and John Fleck, were eligible to play. “I am not allowed to speak about that case,” manager Jon Dahl Tomasson told media when asked about the McGuire situation following the loss.” I think you should ask (CEO) Steve (Waggott), (operations and management consultant) Suhail (Shaikh) and the ownership about the Duncan McGuire case.” It was Blackburn’s eighth match in a row without a win. Blackburn’s last league win was on December 12, when they beat Bristol City at home 2-1. The situation may feel like deja vu for Rovers fans. Last winter, the club had agreed a loan deal for English midfielder Lewis O’Brien but it also unraveled due to the club not filing paperwork in time. O’Brien, like McGuire had completed his medical and did in-house media obligations with the club before the deal collapsed. Founded in 1875, the Lancashire-based club were one of the 12 founding members of the Football League in 1888. The club was sold to Indian poultry-to-healthcare conglomerate V H Group, better known as Venky’s in 2010. Previously regulars in the Premier League, Blackburn was relegated to the Championship in 2012, then dropped to League One in 2017. They returned to the second tier a year later and narrowly missed the playoffs last season. The decision to buy Blackburn has cost Venky’s more than £200 million ($252 million) and counting when you factor in 13 years of annual losses. No member of the Rao family, which controls the V H Group, has been to Blackburn’s Ewood Park stadium since 2013, when a senior member of the family was hit by a snowball thrown by a fan protesting at the club’s recent relegation.
  8. I can think of a few who’ll be delighted at this, then get back to begging for an u21 pl loan so they can use wyscout to make them seem like messi, I think it’s a from Wigan thing
  9. so in essence nothing then, as with all due respect thats an incredibly predictable reply
  10. there are so many things that could make it better, from the PA to a proper fans zone, the stadium being maintained and developed, the crap overpriced goods in the club shop, rubbish beer, rubbish tea and coffee as well, i'd actually flip that back to you. What is actually good about the match day experience.
  11. Here’s the thing with some saying good value, and buying a season ticket at all costs. between me and my wife we both earn substantially over the national average salary and earn good money. So affording one has never been an issue. But when your bills go up nearly 600 quid a month that income squeeze makes you revaluate , suddenly a season ticket isn’t appealing with the complete lack of flexible options. When you then factor in the poor pricing and food options for match day catering, not renewing is easy. If i wanted to go match by match the standard match day pricing isn't an incentive to then go either, the match day experience is rubbish. I suspect I’m not the only one that thinks that way. I’m totally disillusioned with Rovers they don't care about the fans, so why should i feel the same way, its easy to become disinterested.
  12. Spot on, maybe some or immune to the rampant inflation. Both myself and my wife earn good money. But out mortgage is going up over 300 quid a month, gas going up 150 quid a month. Somethings got to give and rovers made it easy for me not to renew
  13. i'd sign up for that instead my three season tickets aren't being renewed. For me or the kids. We missed so many games with them being moved ( we can only come to weekend games ). Do the club care we aren't renewing do the hell
  14. Great post, sadly I won’t be renewing with my two kids that’s three season tickets off the list. I know two others with kids that aren’t renewing. The constant moving of games as we don’t go midweek means my match tickets average to about 60 quid a game. With a massive increase in my mortgage it’s a luxury we have to give up. It’s a shame as my lads rovers daft
  15. you have spelt Morton wrong, he starts every game no matter how ineffective or costly
  16. not just chris i can think of a few others, who suggested a proffesional view of vale and his performances
  17. signed Clinton Mola and George Hirst....... Oh and managed to get winger in when our manager desperately wanted a striker
  18. the bit i have heard is he wants to come here and play football, but he's not interested in a perm move, i think thats collapsed the deal
  19. thats what they have in spain, but this is the FA,EFL archaic institutions not fit for purpose
