We've brought in £25 million in the last 12 months and spent less than £1 million. We are going to bring in another £15 million this summer. Our wage bill is now at the bottom end of the Championship. Yet we will spend less than most clubs in this league this summer and not many of our rivals will get close to that sort of money coming in from sales Please please please can we drop the FFP excuses at least just for this summer. A lack of spending will be entirely a decision of the owners and will probably relegate us next season given the state of the squad.

We've done all we can though. When you've owners and a club comfortable with a situation whereby Burnley, PNE and Bolton are all shifting 15000+ season tickets before we've even sold 1, and where we will do well to hit 50% of their sales totals, you might as well give up. And the worst part of it is there are fools defending it.

All those things are possibles. None are guaranteed. It would depend on what state Venkys left us in and whether they'd want all/part of 'their debt' paying back. I keep being told they are nice wonderful billionaires so assume they won't call it in and bankrupt the club. Don't you think we've already got rid of many of these people e.g. ticket office staff, media staff, groundstaff, under the current ownership?

How many people do we employ today compared to in 2010?

I ask again, who is currently working at Rovers under thrifty Waggott and Venkys that you think could be simply cast onto the scrapheap by an administrator? Are you suggesting there are non-essential staff members at Rovers? Or are you suggesting an administrator would get rid of essential staff including essential admin and facility staff thus presumably stopping the club from functioning? I'm pretty sure the first casualties of administration would be members of the 'senior management' team - particularly Waggott, Pasha, maybe the other two who I doubt have even visited Ewood Park before. That bunch are likely on astronomical money between them and would be a far more appropriate place to start if job losses are needed.

Relegation and sticking in League One would probably cause more job losses than a period in administration. These owners are hell bent on taking us to League One and an inevitable consequence of that will be cuts and job losses. Why is that preferable to administration?

Which people do you think would lose their jobs in administration? The club operates on a bare minimum basis as it is. An administrator would struggle to cut that department otherwise we couldn't continue to function. I'm pretty sure anyone non-essential will have already have been removed under the current regime in a bid to save money.

I think it is abundantly obvious from his last interview that Broughton knew his days were numbered here and he was using the interview to make it clear what his views were. His departure probably means the owners and their stooges have zero intention of following Broughton's recommendations and if they aren't going to do that when they've got £30 million+ sloshing around following sales then they never will. "I have been told the Court case won't impact on our transfer business going into the summer" "We already have clear plans of what we are trying to do" "The way the club is structured is the decision making process always goes through the Board of Directors back to the owners" "The board are completely clear on what my feelings are about what we need to do going forward" "As I'm not a director of the club I am not able to sign transfers off, so they have to be present when that challenge is going to be hit. But you have to ask to make sure the Club gives you the absolute support to get the simple part of the transfer over the line" "My recommendation to the board is there are four areas to invest in. First of all transfer fees, then wages, third to invest back into the academy and the infrastructure and don't try and blow it all at once" Park to one side your views on Broughton's capabilities and whether his business to date has been good enough. I cannot see any logical reason why he would not want us to reinvest and try to get better as a club. It would be the making of him if he somehow found a way to navigate this club to promotion or unearthed some more Szmodics'. He'd be on his way to a PL job one way or the other. There's certainly no reason on his side of the equation to support financial cutbacks, downsizing, and all the rest of it. We know that since he arrived he has put in place a considerable setup. He hasn't done that for the fun of it or because he wants to waste money. He's done it to try and get the club somewhere. Now that might work or might not but on the other side of the equation we have Venkys and Waggott. The architects of our demise who it suits very much indeed to downsize, downscale, cut back and reduce. They'd love nothing more than a cornershop style operation if it was easier to handle and cost them less. Waggott's remit is heavily based on financial cuts and savings, so why would he want ambition, spending, growth?

All this just adds further fuel to my belief that the CEO cannot make decisions without first securing approval from one of those in India. There's no other logical explanation for why we are continually late. He will be waiting for sign off on his pricing and they will deal with it when they are ready. Just like setting our annual budget. All in good time. The fact this is contrary to almost every other club and puts us on the back foot with competition matters not one jot. If correct I then ask myself what else the owners have to approve and take an eternity on, costing the club big time. Spending money on new players one I expect.

As I said, depends on the policy in place and seriousness of the offence.

I know there will be loads of arse covering and history re-writing going on over the next few months but I'd like to know who decided to employ Broughton. If it is true that they have now concluded that he wasn't up to it, and are holding him responsible for the last couple of January fiascos, then who decided to give him the job? If Waggott then why is there a power struggle when he sanctioned the appointment? Or are we back into the good old days of persons unknown parachuting people into the club with remits and powers at odds with those already there and a power struggle ensues? Think this must be the 4th or 5th time we've apparently had a similar 'power struggle' imposed on us by these owners.

Depends on the offence, organisation and disciplinary procedures. But there's nothing stopping an instant sacking if the offence is deemed serious enough and due process is followed. Of course if he was instructed by above not to press submit then there's no offence, which might be another reason for a 4 month long severance process

And where did Glen get his account from? You can sack an employee for gross misconduct immediately. You don't have to wait 4 months.

It's been in the papers because people at the club have been telling the papers that. Hardly faking the moon landings. People like Waggott and co. whisper tidbits to Rich Sharpe, Fans Forum and over a brew with supporters and it gets repeated ad infinitum and becomes fact. In the days of twitter and forums it really doesn't take much for one account to become the established truth with very little effort. I might be wrong, of course, as might anyone else. But remarkably convenient that for the second January deadline day IN A ROW we have an expensive signing just about to sign and lo and behold this time around a vastly experienced staff member 'doesn't press send' Also conveniently he didn't forget to press send on the paperwork for Adam Wharton ensuring £20 million flowed into the coffers, but he did forget on the one and only deal that would require the owners to cough up cash, something they have shown clearly over the last few years they aren't happy to do. And if I was owning an organisation where (if true) two potentially season defining transfers were cocked up by Broughton / Silvester ineptitude then BOTH would have been down the road right away, and I'd also be expecting to see the people that employed them paying the price too.

Club sec gets the bullet because they've used him as the fall guy to blame for what happened in January. After that his position was untenable. Rather that than admit the truth that the owners wouldn't spend and are actually the source of most of our problems, rather than experienced qualified staff suddenly forgetting how to do their jobs.

Heard that before, even up until 11pm deadline day, then [insert name here] cocks up and forgets to press send submit whatever Oldest trick in the Venky playbook to head into a summer telling people there's money to spend and impressive names linked. Just as season tickets are about to be released too. Taking us for fools.

So our transfer failings all Broughton's fault (or was it Silvester, I'm getting mixed up as I thought it was his fault) but either way definitely absolutely never anything at all to do with Venkys, Sheikh or Waggott, the 3 highest positioned entities at the club?

The biggest question is when and how do we get these repulsive owners and their stooges out of Blackburn Rovers. Because until or unless they do this club will continue to wither and decay. Nothing else really matters, of course some spending in the interim might help stave off League One for a few more years, as might some shrewd signings and management, but they'll find a way, eventually, to undermine that through further budget cuts and appalling decision making. The next question is if they are appointing a new D of F to replace Broughton is there any point? If Broughton is leaving because there's no money and his job was made impossible then what's the point in getting a new one? If we're getting rid of Broughton because he wasn't up to the job, too inexperienced or not well connected enough then why are we apparently considering appointing a total rookie to the role instead?

Presumably now then the new Director of Football (Rudy or someone else) will have to come in, rapidly assess the situation and then make decisions. This will start with manager and coaching staff, and I can only assume the Director of Football will have the capability to remove Eustace and appoint his 'own man' as manager if he considers that appropriate in pursuit of our 'strategy'. If not then there really is no point in appointing one, because he has to be in control of footballing decisions and if he's basically told he's working with what he has then he ain't a Director of Football.

Yes, and we heard it with rumours recently of Tugay coming in for some sort of 'ambassador role' Waggott ain't totally daft. He knows an easy and relatively cheap way to head off trouble is to install a popular ex-player in a blaze of publicity, wheel him out for the Telegraph and Forums and half the job is done. It was easy when Mowbray was here because he could regale people with his 'I'm a working class Boro lad brought up in the 70s' stories over tea and biscuits but without Mowbray there it's harder. Basically a human shield to keep him out of the firing line. He knows the anger in the stands is building and on more than one occasion he was the target of chants. You're probably right. Life here appears to be one long story of various factions grabbing power and then being undermined. We've been through it so many times. Embark on something, look to make progress and then rip it all up and start again at square one "We can't affect what's happened before we've just got to move on to the future" will be Eustace's line when the 'new regime' is unveiled Well I'm not forgiving or forgetting.

Only at a circus like Rovers. Get shut of a Director of Football who has been in the job for 1 full summer, who has been undermined from the word go by cowboy owners, snakes and who knows what else (rogue secretary's one fanciful suggestion). A director of football who was in situ when we appointed JDT (best season in over a decade) and when we signed Szmodics (about to cash in Big time on) and when we 'created a pathway' for Adam Wharton to cash in on. Seemingly considered not up to it due to a lack of experience. To potentially be replaced by a former player with zero experience of any level other than as a player. We all know the crux of this. Money. They've derailed any chance of success under one group of people so it's on to the next lot Cheap, cheerful, inexperienced, local. That's the Rovers way. Won't get the club anywhere but at least they can bring Rudy along to the Fans Forum and people will be happy. A sick joke of a club but only to be expected with the suspect individuals running it.

I've been wondering that for a while given his strange proximity to the club despite not occupying any official position. Cheap and with no experience, but the added bonus of being an ex player which they will want to exploit with the fanbase.

The never ending Venky rebuild continues. Those down the chain moved out or forced out because they can't work for the scum. The scum and their henchmen keep on going. No end in sight for them. I just hope nobody is fooled by this. Its a typical Venky / Waggott stunt to convince people the problem has been addressed. Con.

I'm sure there's a perfectly good reason for the delay. Like some imaginative new pricing structure that has been painstakingly planned and developed and is just getting the final touches, or waiting to crack on with a massive new marketing and publicity campaign in a bid to reach new audiences.

Either way, our only hope is a Luton relegation to keep us off bottom place in the league for home attendances next season. Doesn't that tell a story.
