From top to bottom. It starts with the owners telling staff one thing, “funds are only available through sales, create your own budget”. Then after funds come in and targets identified, deals agreed pull the rug. But it doesn’t stop there. As there still no excuse once a different deal is agreed and signed the club can’t send in the paperwork in time. The end result is there’s no accountability from top to bottom and it shows in everything from recruitment to play in the field.

Story in the Atlantic really highlights what shambles were in. Owners who communicate one thing then pull the rug and staff unfit to run a lemonade stand. https://theathletic.com/5252239/2024/02/06/blackburn-rovers-duncan-mcguire-transfer/

I’m convinced that there’s a percentage of accounts on all social that are run by paid actors. You see it on political posts, sports team. Likely hired by pr firms to help balance the conversation.

It goes all the way up the ladder. Any other organization outside football would have sacked people last year and this year the board would be asking for the resignation of the ceo and the director

Yeah no time to put sticker notes on pages while waiting for the Wharton deal to go through. Not to mention none of the Wharton money was used.

It’s not lost on me that McGuire is our one and only potential long term signing of the widow. What’s also not lost is the lad has not more professional experience than Harry Leonard. Mcguire is all likelihood isn’t the difference in staying up.

It also seemed to drag out months and by the time us was settled there’s only be a handful of games left

Hard to believe there are still Venkys sympathizers out there. Read one on FB saying no one was saying “Venkys Out” when the club was paying million for Szmodics and Hyam. Went on to ask what position the club would be in if Venkys sold and then called the debt due. Bottom line is Venkys can’t sell the call the debt as no one would acquire with the current debt outstanding. Venkys would have to write off the debt or a portion of it as uncollected in order for a buyer to step up.

I think that’s the biggest change he can make. We don’t have the players for that currently. Maybe when our first choice backs were fit, and Wharton was here. Also when Carter is a CB there’s more pace. We concede possession too easily and in the wrong moments which leaves us exposed. Unfortunately our backs in the attack are how we create most of our chances so it’ll probably come at a cost.

I’ve just about had it with the “where would you be without the owners putting £20,000,000 pounds in a year” group. I don’t think they should get credit for doing the minimally required responsibility of ownership, paying the bills. Any owner would have to do that. Good owners pay the bills and run the organization in a way to drive value and achieve the companies mission.

I don’t think it’s a problem with formation but philosophy. Our wing backs seem to be instructed to get into the attacks, without the center miss sliding into cover. The result is we’re often 2 v 2 at the back on the counter. Additionally we are poor at closing down dangerous opportunities at or near the top of our box. The attitude of the side seems very attacking but it leaves us exposed on the counter.

If you prevent the manager from speaking yesterday why not cut anything he says you don’t like today

https://x.com/BBCLancsSport/status/1753846897842745610?s=20 this one is 10min

And the project he signed up for is clearly not what he’s experiencing. Shame really. Seems the owners treat coaches, dof and payers on trans Atlantic flights the same.

https://twitter.com/Rovers/status/1753842192794214553 post game interview. Nothing about the window as the admin doesn’t want any negative videos.

Reports emerged on Saturday have claimed there is an issue with Duncan McGuire's move to Blackburn Rovers. It's stated that there is an issue with the documentation and the deal is hanging in the balance. The Lancashire Telegraph understands there is truth behind those claims. Rovers were approached for comment and say there will be further developments in the next 48 hours to hopefully clarify the situation. McGuire was unveiled by the club at 11pm on deadline day but was ruled out against QPR with the club awaiting international clearance and visa checks, which is common practice. When asked about the issue, Tomasson said questions should be directed at the Blackburn Rovers board. "What should I say about Duncan McGuire? The Duncan McGuire case. I am not allowed to speak about that case. You should ask Steve and Suhail about that case. "I think you should ask Steve, Suhail and the ownership about the Duncan McGuire case."

https://twitter.com/_ElliottJackson/status/1753840349410103480 JDT seems to know the deal has gone sideways. Must have no confidence in the club at any level

https://twitter.com/_ElliottJackson/status/1753840349410103480 seems very likely the McGuire deal has been fecked by the owners.

If this is true it’s no wonder JDT wasn’t permitted to speak to the media yesterday. He’d certainly be asked about McGuire being the only decent bit of business out of the widow and would he say, “The club I work for is a complete mental institution. Can’t trust a word I’m told and it’s run by incompetent fools”.

It goes back to day one Venkys took over. “Beckham and Ronaldinho incoming” might have been the first.
