Tim Southampton Rover

Right now, the kind of sports owners or investment groups who could afford to buy Blackburn Rovers probably don’t even know we exist. And while I don’t expect Venkys to bring this disastrous ownership to an end on their own, I do think they would sell if the right buyer appeared. That’s why our approach as fans needs to be smarter. We should be actively trying to "sell" the club to potential buyers. I don't mean by storming boardrooms with flip charts and demanding to "show me the money!!", but by using modern, creative methods to get noticed by major sports organisations and ownership groups. They need to see that: - we exist and we’re a passionate, historic club - we’re a genuine investment opportunity - the Championship offers a clear route to Premier League money and most importantly - the fans want this to happen We might need to think differently to find ways to make the club go viral. We need to be creative, have attention‑grabbing campaigns that make us fans seen and heard. If they won't come to us, perhaps the aim is for us to go to them. Maybe the message is as simple as: “We are Blackburn Rovers fans. We want YOU to buy this club. Here’s why.”

Tyjon could become another player we add to the list of those who might have achieved far more had they stayed at Blackburn, continued their development, earned regular first‑team minutes, and been given a fair shot at meeting the expectations set by the club and its coaches. Instead, there’s now a real possibility he gets swallowed up in the depth of a bigger club, overshadowed by other talented players, and ultimately ends up on the loan carousel before fading from view. Money = success in the eyes of many youngsters nowadays. If he doesn't want to be at Blackburn, time to go.

After yesterday's game, I'm guessing we'll see him on the bench next game.

Do we actually have any young strikers who are better than Axel Henriksson up top? And by ‘better,’ I literally just mean someone who can get into decent positions and at least take a shot at goal. I’m not even asking for someone who can score, which tells you how low the bar currently is 🤣

I originally joked that Toth might be sold in January when Pears came in and performed well but now I’m actually starting to think it could happen. I wouldn’t be shocked if the club decided to cash in, with the usual spin about needing funds, the January market being inflated, Pears earning his place, and Toth needing regular minutes ahead of the World Cup (the last bit I added for a joke but could easily see it happening haha). Edit: Or the alternative is they sell Nick Michalski - another up and coming talent for next to nothing.

I’ve rewritten this message several times because I’m genuinely stunned by how disastrously the club has handled the 150th anniversary. Those responsible, whether it’s the owners, senior leadership, marketing or anyone else, should be embarrassed. This should have been the year we proudly showcased the club’s remarkable history to the world. Instead, they’ve turned what should have been a landmark celebration into a complete farce. The club’s story, the anniversary match, the commemorative shirt - every part of it has been mishandled. The only people who came out of it with any credit were the former players, who at least gave the fans something to enjoy on a miserable day, and you can bet the likes of Bentley, Hendry etc did it purely for the supporters, who deserve far better. As for the shirt? I won’t be buying it, and even if I wanted to, the club has decided I’m not eligible anyway - despite being a fan for 33 years. It’s unbelievable. Any other club would have released it at the start of the season, worn it for the anniversary match, and made the most of the 150th year with merchandise throughout the season, especially at Christmas. Our club? They just don’t get it and they never will no matter how hard they try and convince us.

@B16Rover If you close your eyes slightly completely then it looks exactly like The Ritz.

It's in Morocco so that's basically like flying to Spain for a long weekend. The only reason we get jet lag is because we're most likely travelling on Easy Jet and sloshing with beer - less jet lag, more alcohol recovery mode. They'll be travelling back in slightly better condition than most of us! 🤣

He'll come back rested and have something to prove. Perfect scenario so far for us.

The only bitter part of Wharton leaving Palace and we get a lump sum is that we probably won't see any of it!

I bet Jordan Henderson is still in the squad ahead of Adam Wharton for the 2038 Death Star World Cup.

All I know is that Pickering will be emptying his pockets and Callum Brittain will fall out.

I can think of more games that Gueye has caused problems for us than he has for the other side.

Once Toth is back, it would make a lot of sense to loan out Michalski to play first team football. If Pears and Toth are here until the end of the season, both definitely won't be at the start of next, so Michalski getting experience is vital.

We'd all be betting £100 that he would miss - just like Cantwell said on the Sky Sports show.
