Maybe JDT has also given up. Who can blame him.

Merry Christmas one and all ⚪️🔵

If a player or club dont want to do a deal with us. then fuck-em. WE ARE BLACKBURN ROVES.

Rather odd comment that. It’s their choice, just as it is ours when it comes to selling Adam Wharton. 

Received today. Had it delivery to Mother’s, so give me something to read over Christmas when I visit.

Thanks to all involved.

PS It’s pretty big…

Good, I think it is external humiliation particularly by the media and rival clubs that will get Waggott's back up. He clearly has no interest in what Rovers fans think or want, because such grumbles can be kept 'in house', but the more people outside the club know what a tinpot outfit we are the more likely it is he'll feel some degree of embarrassment, hopefully.

I very much doubt that. He doesn’t have to  impress other bosses

THEY don’t care what we think. They just keep trying to knock us fans further down, with their stupid ideas.

Less fans and it’s less hassle for them. 

Sadly, theres only one outcome in all this. And it’s the fans who will suffer.

I'm told the Supporters Trust are too.

The more groups and individuals that contact the club to complain about this ridiculous idea, the better.

And will they listen. No. They haven’t in 13 yrs…

Sadly, we won’t go anywhere with this team, if we can’t cut out the errors. It’s ok to say they are a young team. They have to learn from the mistakes. Something that is not happening. 

Give Mowbray some credit, he always had an experience head in the dressing room. We haven’t  really got that. It’s what we need. Someone to  steady the younger players.

Sadly, Venkeys won’t see a value in that and won’t agree to us getting a few of these players in.

As for the needed striker. Again, that won’t be coming either. We’ll have to deal with it.

And that’s where we are as a club. We are being told by the owners -  DEAL WITH IT. 

Nothing will change.

No shame in losing at Southampton. They have a better team and squad than us, for a number of reasons, and they have dealt with pretty much everyone who has gone there this season, apart from Leicester and Ipswich. 

What is really annoying me is the number of goals we are shipping. People will make out that Southampton are dismantling all they come up against but in reality their wins at home have usually been tight affairs decided by a goal or two.

2-1 v QPR, 3-1 v Leeds, 1-1 v Rotherham, 3-1 v Birmingham, 2-1 v WBA, 1-0 v Bristol, 2-0 v Cardiff

We break new ground by shipping 4.

I don't believe this is all down to Dominic Hyam being injured, and if it is I think that is arguably more worrying that we are so reliant on his presence to stop the flow of goals. 

38 goals conceded in 22 games. Only Rotherham and Norwich have let more in. 11 defeats in 22 games, only the bottom 3 have lost more. These are deeply alarming statistics for me, they suggest a big problem somewhere.

Yes, the problem is we can’t defend lol

If we can’t defend, we won’t go anywhere with this team. The mistakes have to stop.

I’ve said before, but is this team learning? Experience is needed and that’s what’s holding us back.

Give Tony one credit, he gave us some experience to help the ‘younger’ players along. Now we haven’t really got that.

We used to concede a lot of 89th minute goals in the 80’s. Used to be frustrating even then…

Just noticed we haven’t played Cambridge since Shearer’s cruciate gave way fully in January 1993.

Ive never understood how he did it against Leeds on Boxing Day, and yet our medical staff somehow put him on the pitch against Cambridge in a league cup game a couple of weeks later only for him to break down almost straight away.

We won 3-2  that night. If so, I was there with an American girl I was seeing at the time. She’d never been to a footie game before (or ever again) John Francis was getting boo’d all night on their right wing.

It’s ridiculous isn’t it - I guess some people just don’t want to see the truth.

 

It’s a case of some not wanting to see the truth…

What a way to run a football club… NOT!

Financial reward, and also I suspect designed to keep him settled at Rovers for the long term.

If we under pay that often leads to players leaving early or refusing to sign a new contract when we do eventually offer it.

I think part of this contract offer will be lessons learned from BBD, Lenihan, Rothwell etc.

Let’s hope so…

In the original song the blues referred to heartbreak. But to Rovers' fans "blues" meant the team (even though our shirts are half white).

Yes get that, but doesn’t really make sense.

Because it is nearly what the original words to the song are.

The original lyrics are about losing a love. So they sang about losing it. Makes more sense if Rovers lose ... 

Just saying…

That's not what I thought it was

Why would you sign the blues if we were winning?

Shouldn't it be "I've never felt less like singing the blues"?

I thought it was “Never felt like singing the blues, when Burnley win and Rovers lose. Oh Rovers, you’ve got me singing the blues…”

But lads, Venkeys never refuse our club anything according to Stevie Maggott

As far as Waggot is concerned, there are no bigger issues, as there isn't any future.

Then the club won’t be moving forward any time soon. They will continue to cost cut and we’re go further down. I believe there is certainly more going on than they let on.

New update still not sorted, access to tickets requires constantly signing in.

My Rover account not accessible from within the Rovers website, have to log out and access from browser.

Cannot manage my account which an early tweet from Rovers suggested would help.

You couldn't make it up. SHAMBLES.

Told them that the club is useless from top to bottom. Couldn't sort out the smallest issues without drama. Asked them why this has happened three times in a row. Doesn’t anyone take responsibility for anything… No reply from them. They really don’t care. Rovers I’m afraid are lost. Never in 47 yrs supporting my club, has our support been treated like this. Get the small things right and the rest follows.

They can’t even do that and that’s where the issue lays. Something to think about there, Mr Waggott on your £300,000 plus wage per year!
 

How the hell he going to deal with bigger issues in the future? 

During the summer I wrote a message on here about the delivery of items I ordered from the Roverstore and they didn’t send next day delivery, as expected. They offered an apology and said, they would give me autographs of some players for my young nephew and niece as an apology. When I phone up about a week later, they refused to send them, saying Rovers won’t offer that ‘goodwill’ gesture anymore. Nice I thought.

Guess what, once again I ordered from the store on Sunday, ready for posting out today and again the items  have t been posted next day delivery! What is it with the shop?
 

Good luck for Christmas and getting anything ordered and delivered, folks!

The club is lazy from top to bottom, seems no one  can be bothered to do the simplest of getting things done.

it’s so frustrating dealing with Rovers on various levels…

His contract is up with his Russian club at the end of this season, so assume he will be free

I thought his contracted paused for a year due to being loaned from a Russian club.
