We have no hope. Just spoke to a fellow fan on the train who described the transfer window as very good under the circumstances and no concerns over the ownership. Said he felt more connected to the club than ever and that we would be in serious trouble if it wasn't for the owners. When asked about the decade absence I was told to be grateful for the monetary support over the years.
Every rovers fan I know bar Glenn says the same

Just wait til John fleck is fit
VENKYS IN 💪

And anyone thinking this was accidental/a mistake needs taking to a wall and firing at until life leaves them

Chris samba indeed!! Look at what my Liverpool supporting mate told me in 2020.
Apologies for his foul language
It’s 2024 and he’s done nothing to prove he should be even in the squad

Oh baileys loving sea monster with a mangina the only thing I blame JDT for is for insisting on trying to play like Man City regardless of our squad or opposition, and for doing nothing during our worst run for years.
I love JDT for bringing us some identity, I love his charisma, I used to love him as a player in the 90s, he's the right man at the wrong time.
Thats the model imposed by those above him to get fees like we have just received to pocket

What a shit post. Go back to bed. Take your negativity somewhere else. God help us if the players read shit like this. Board is full of it. I despise Venkys and our CEO as much as the next person, but this stuff is uncalled for.
People hating on Gregg, he's bound by some severe restrictions and is as frustrated as us I can imagine, people want a scapegoat - he should not be the subject of your ire.
No blame JDT instead 🤦♂️

JDT represents the best chance of opening the eyes of the wider fan base.
Remember reading the same when lambert had enough. People are already blaming JDT and not the owners or those above him. I don’t know how they’ve done it but I’ve not seen brainwashing like this since Scientology started.

He’s fuming and I reckon likely to unleash his fury on the owners post-match, so as not to affect the team’s build up to a vital game
A sensible decision me thinks but one that further highlights the incredible chaos that is now the new normal at Blackburn Rovers FC
Venky’s & Waggott OUT 🥀 🐔
The games on tomorrow, the floodlights work. Sit down and stop moaning , your as bad as that danish lad. (Head =wall)

No wonder so many fans walked away. I truly dispare 🤦♂️

I don't know if anyone else has mentioned this, but I think this transfer window, and the current mood at the club draws pretty strong parallels to the Lambert era, obviously approaching the Coyle farce.
That season we'd sold Cairney and Gestede, followed by Rhodes in the January window - total sum £20 - £25m. We'd signed the following;
£0.00 spent.
This season, £25m brought in with Kami, Phillips and Wharton gone. A chipping away, obvious decline of the squad with assets being flogged to stop the ship from sinking. The only slight difference this time is that one of our prized assets (BBD) walked away for sweet FA. They're being replaced by short-sighted, no strategy loans and freebie has-beens.
JDT, just like Lambert will be disillusioned, sold a cock and bull story that the club has serious aspirations.
No surprise when he jumps ship this summer and we're left scrabbling around looking for a manager who will take a chance on this complete circus.
Conspiracy theory of the day. JDT has already had enough and is “doing a klopp” and the powder is being kept dry for our new manager who will be given the funds for a serious promotion push 💪

Depending what happens later today and more importantly against QPR on Saturday , things can change very quickly.
Losing on Saturday and no real signings and the blue touch paper could well be lit !
We could sign no one , sell Hyam , carter and tronstad and lose 15-0 at the weekend and no one would do a thing

Don’t worry one of our lot is definitely following her 😅

You would potentially get numbers in there tens who would receive large fines and bans why the remaining 8000 booed us off the pitch in handcuffs. I firmly believe now we have to let this play out to the death with only the I told you so card left to play

I can almost guarantee the Wharton deal was completed at the latest yesterday and there is an agreement in place to not announce it until late today

Gregg: Fuck, the Wharton deal might not go through - and the Yank is flying over as we speak!
Swag: Well that aint happening is it, tell them to make a U-turn.
Gregg: Steve it's a flight not a taxi... plus, we've got 8 hours till he lands - why don't we just hold off and see what happens? They obviously can't turn ar...
Swag: Gregg, don't make me ask again. *bites a pie* Tell them it's off now, and to make a U-turn.(Swag waddles off)
Gregg (head in hands): Fuck sake. Stacey, get me on the blower to Orlando please!
That bites into a pie was perfect 😂

Jon Dahl Tomasson - Officially No Longer Our Head Coach
in Blackburn Rovers Fans Messageboard
Posted · Edited by Oldgregg86
One of the things for me is the Adam Wharton sale and not because I’m entitled and didn’t expect him to be sold eventually but the symbolic nature of the whole situation.
I don’t and can’t support the thieves and gangsters in India and our boardroom like the fans who have walked away.
Still it’s my club , my team , my colours, my badge , my fans and my players so I go and get behind the lads (ffs)
Wharton was one of our own like a lot of the kids who came through the academy jack set up , and for this very reason . Now though Travis and Buckley get shipped to reduce wages and whartons gone and who am I supporting . Brighton and liverpools kids til the end of the season. Five loans in that’s half a team who won’t be here next year I have no affinity to .
It’s hard to get emotionally involved when you’re being ripped off and over priced, not given a second thought and constantly lied to. The farce of the transfer window (again) highlighting the lies/cock ups/ disjointed thinking of the whole set up and scattergun approach to it ,plus, the sale of our Adam shows there is no model or anything to have hope for or belief in to keep throwing your support behind.
Still I’ve been going on ewood for 30 years and I’ve met a lot of wonderful people. Can still have a beer and a social occasion and try and get involved in the on field “entertainment “. They can’t take that away from me….can they.
First sip of a pint and I mention the banner , you should be punched was the response from friends. I sit on the coach to away games and listen to 40 people slag off the venky out chants with the same usual guff and waffle repeated on here. Try and explain anything and I’m shot down by 30 people so I sit angry and disillusioned to Norwich or wherever on some other hellish journey .
So as a staunch defender of JDT I believe I look at him as a symbol of hope and a memory of what once was. I probably have blue n white tinted glasses to his tactics and how he sets up a team as just his enthusiasm and passion reminds me of what mine once was .
Now he wants out like lambert before him. We’re heading back to league one , I’m skint with a young family and I’m sat by myself over hundred quid light on the way back from Cardiff , work in the morning, usually by myself these days, surrounded by Venky sleeved shirts with names of players at other clubs on there back after watching Liverpool and Brighton’s future stars make there mistakes with the uttering and echos up and down the coach of I don’t know what they want ,20 million them angels pump in.
Ewood is a hallow shell filled with these Shaun of the dead zombies , gangsters crooks and criminals in the boxes around them, prices increasing why my kid kicks a ball into a bin for a charge .
it’s all getting to much for people . Even I’m getting to the point of having the rest of the season off just to re evaluate my life
