Are you completely ignoring/forgetting that we need a judge's permission to cover bills, wages and tax? From where I'm sat even if we got £20 million given to us tomorrow there are all sorts of reasons why that couldn't get spent. You're persisting with this delusion that this is a normal club and that we are in the business of reinvesting money.

Pound shop operation. Wonder what players think of such nonsense in this day and age.

I've heard exactly the same, one of those sackings was when Gary Bowyer was manager and then he suddenly returned and has been here consistently since. In terms of timings this appears to have been around the time a certain shadow man started making decisions.

It was said when we appointed JDT and failed to appoint Carvalhal and Farke that working with the existing coaching staff was a requirement. Why? Is that healthy? Who decided that was a requirement? Who upstairs is qualified to decide that they are good coaches? What do Venkys, Pasha or Waggott know about the capabilities of coaches? Just another example of people being retained regardless of performance or capabilities because they are cheap or know the right people. It's been going on here since the scum bought the club and installed Kean as manager. It's not what you know but who you know.

Neither JDT nor Mowbray have been able to assemble their own backroom teams. Instead they have had to accept working with inherited staff: Lowe and Benson. And in JDT's case also Johnson. Regardless of their capabilities or lack of, it cannot be right that they are in place indefinitely regardless of manager/performance/results. The bigger question is who has decided that they are irreplaceable and why.

The media have always associated Mowbray with "good football", a consistent now for 20 years since he won the Championship doing with a strong West Brom side. If you repeat it often enough and for long enough it becomes fact in people's minds, even if not necessarily true. If you are a struggling Championship side wanting safety and stability and someone to guide you through to potentially a better future he's a good option and will expertly play the media with all the popular soundbites. But if you want promotion he isn't going to haul you there like Warnock or Bruce carved out their careers doing.

I suspect he resolved to hang around despite being made a fool of last summer, partly through a sense of responsibility, partly wanting to see it through and probably also because he was led to believe the issues were temporary and would be resolved soon. There were a few on here saying it was a temporary issue that would get resolved. Well it's been going on for nearly a year now and it's clear they don't see an end in sight. JDT is probably realising he's been completely strung along here by people who actually have no real idea what is happening or if/when it will get sorted.

Lets speculate for a minute. We have a choice, we can either stay in the Championship this season, but go into administration in the summer and start next season on -10 points, and face a real battle to avoid League One. But Venkys are gone. Or we can get relegated this season, continuing our horrific form through to May, but keep Venkys as owners, their 'issues' in India are resolved by the summer and we go back to their preferred way of doing things, but we are in League One, with no JDT and a small inexperienced squad probably well short of what is needed for promotion, we continue the Venky purgatory. Option 1 would potentially see job losses under administration, but as a Championship club we would have income probably pushing £10 million more than in League One and far bigger crowds / matchday demands, and would also see us a more viable option for a decent takeover. Option 2 would avoid administration, but in League One with plummeting gates, the revolting Venkys and Waggott still dismantling the club from within, drastically reduced income, gates halved and unlikely to compete in League One - surely with that comes substantial job losses - catering, matchday, stewards and further shrinking of the organisation? I know which option I'd pick and which I believe is better for BRFC in the medium to long term at least.

We had to jettison Buckley then Travis to get their wages off the books and allow us to bring in cheap signings like Telalovic and the two we signed at the start of January. Where are we getting the wages to sign anyone with any pedigree? The Kaminski / Phillips cash got us nowhere, the Diaz, Dack, Ayala wage savings got us nowhere, and we need authority from an Indian Court to meet our wage and tax obligations. I'd say the chances of spending money or offering reasonable wages are slim to none.

There are certain people who have been vocal about supporting selling Gallagher, supposedly because doing so would free up lots of wages and cash to go out and get someone 'better'. Well perhaps they ought to reconsider, because we can see here the sort of signings (at best) we will be going for if we need a Gallagher replacement. That's assuming the owners allow us to sign someone over the age of 30 which they were resistant to last summer.

So now you don't report on things as it would be 'sensationalist' (isn't that exactly what a journalist would want, a big sensational bit of news dropping into his lap getting everyone talking?) And the information has been available for 9 months, yet none of the people paid to find this sort of thing did anything and it once again was found by people digging online. They don't deserve to call themselves journalists.

Administration wouldn't necessarily see any employees lose their jobs, if those jobs are essential for the continued functioning of the business. Besides there's nothing to say that further cuts and job losses won't come with the next round of Venky cutbacks. People can lose their jobs with or without Venkys or admin. Conversely administration could see new owners come in who want to grow the club and with it decide to employ more people than Venkys do. We just don't know.

You only have to look at the complete lack of scrutiny regarding the man in the shadows, involved at the top of the club since at least 2015 and what have they had to say about it? Not a word, other than occasional passing references to 'the owners representative' How about; Who is this man? Is he really qualified to run a football club? What is his background? What is his remit? What is his actual role? Merely a messenger or de facto chairman? All important issues in the operations of a football club, especially if he's on the payroll. They wouldn't get away with it at most clubs of this size, most local media would ask some uncomfortable questions. Here they just play right into Venky hands.

The problem we have is that Waggott considers only Blackburn and Darwen to be our 'community'. He doesn't consider Chorley, Leyland, Clitheroe, Whalley, Accrington, Rishton, Clayton, Harwood, Ossy, Haslingden or anywhere else to be anything to do with Rovers. Evidence? Well I doubt he or anyone else can point me towards one single act he has taken in 6 years to encourage, promote, develop, entice support from any of those regions. Lets be honest they do hardly anything in Blackburn or Darwen either, but at least the community trust sends a couple of players out on their afternoon off to visit a primary school from time to time. It's the first fundamental mistake of a non-East Lancs outsider who comes in and assumes that Rovers=Blackburn and that 20,000 a week are going to wander down from Mill Hill ,Darwen, Feni. I think anyone who goes to Ewood will know that a very large portion - if I were a betting man close to if not more than 50% - of our season ticket holders - reside outside of BwD. Of course he will have quick access to this data. Fundamentally though it is easier to make excuses - like he's done with regularity since he arrived - than do anything to address it. He's now got another recently made up excuse that threatens the very future of our support base and club which is that we 'can't' target non-BwD areas because it would cause complaints from rival League clubs. I'd suggest he should resign immediately if he accepts that.

Hand to mouth existence Reliant on cheap loans No money for transfers Players not allowed to give their shirts away due to cost / limited supply Crumbling stadium No investment in facilities

12,000 season tickets rather than 7500. I'd say that's pretty emphatic vindication of their policies whereas we limp along stagnant. Not helped by the 'small town, no support' idiots who make excuses for the club to fall back on.

We've more in common with Oyston's Blackpool and the old Accy Stanley than people realise. Thanks Venkys!

I see the '£20 million a year' claim that Venkys or A N Other need to pump in today dealt another blow with PNE losing £12 million last year (without any big sales and with far cheaper ticket prices) I wonder what their secret is???

Speaking of Mowbray I see he managed to win a Cup tie tonight, in the last minute v Hull Amazing what is possible when you've a new club/owners/fans to impress rather than just being on easy street every season.

I'm not even confident in either of those things happening. I think it is highly unlikely a Judge in India would reach that decision, if he did it would probably be appealed and would certainly go against precedent. But even if it did that assumes Venkys are unwilling or unable to fund the club in a different way to stop it going into admin. I'm pretty sure that their lawyers and accounts people, if faced with an ultimatum of 'find a way' or 'club goes bust/into admin' they'd manage to find a way to do it, even if it was more expensive or inconvenient than the way they are used to. My hope is that these hurdles are putting them under a lot of aggravation and they eventually get fed up with the cost and hassle of going to court to do this and eventually they listen to advice in India and just give it up as a bad job not worth bothering with any more. Or alternatively that the Indian authorities start getting close to the smoking gun that could bring the whole thing crashing down and discovery of that or risk of discovery of that causes them to drop the club and leave. Then and only then is there a route to recovery. It might not be a quick or smooth one, but it is a route nonetheless. As it stands there is no route to anything but further misery because we are being dragged backwards and down by their presence.

Aye, and Buckley was shown the door in the summer on deadline day to free up the wages for Hill and Telalovic. Hand to mouth existence. Venkys out.

He still doesn't get it. I think he thinks that because it's Wrexham there's going to be a groundswell of interest in this fixture. In truth a cup game against a 4th division club on a Monday night which most people can watch on TV or online is likely to be not much if any better attended than previous cup matches such as Cambridge or Walsall earlier this season, particularly with the price being higher.

I don't understand why they deserve credit in your eyes for taking these steps. Have they had any alternative to doing this and if not why do they deserve credit for doing something they have no realistic choice on? I am told that the reason they are under restrictions is due to them being under investigation by the Indian authorities. If there was no investigation there would be no restrictions and no need to go to Court for permission to fund the Club. They've said it themselves in their submission to the Court. If the Court refused permission the club fails to meet its obligations, gets served with a HMRC winding up petition and goes bust. Their reputation is in tatters and 'investment' down the drain. I'd substitute credit with 'bare minimum' required to keep the lights on. No different to Joe Bloggs being forced to find the cash to pay his mortgage, rent, council tax and utility bills. Don't pay them the lights go off and you lose your property.

This will be in the Telegraph within the next few days. Local reporting these days basically consists of regurgitating whatever the Club tells them or keeping an eye on places such as this and Twitter and then when someone finds something they take it from there by asking Waggott or the office junior what it means. Of course if there was proper journalism taking place the Indian issues would have been front and centre of coverage for months now, a major issue that could potentially be the end of the Club if things go the wrong way and yet not a whisper in the local media. Disgusting.

Since Waggott abolished shareholder meetings under the excuse of Covid there's even less opportunity to grill them on these sort of developments. I wonder what the next set of accounts will say about the club as a going concern if parent company funding is dependent on Court releasing funds. When other clubs - like Reading - have been going through chaos the EFL clowns have insisted on their owner depositing months of funds in an account to enable them to keep functioning. They've been sanctioned for not doing. Wonder how far off that point we are.
