That's the first i've heard of that facebook site

 

I've joined and i honestly can't believe how many people are on the side of venky's...the mind boggles

Tried my best.

Doesn't help when old uneducated men try to intimidate me for being anonymous? Very weird lot.

Gave up after a while with them.

Tbh, I know he's had injuries this season but he hasn't got the best out of them. His substitutions have always been poor and his game management from winning positions are even worse. 

 

As much as I like the guy I think he's getting a lot of leniency because of his character and ambition but the goals against column doesn't lie and I don't think we've got a bad defence. 

 

At this point it's starting to seem like it's him doing us a favour and he doesn't want the opportunity any more then he should leave and allow someone to come in  who wants it. 

 

I'm coming at this purely as an assessment of his performance this season. Don't get me wrong, I think he could likely move on to bigger and better things and whilst we are under Venkys we'll continue on downwards trajectory.

 

That aside it's still possible for a manager to come in and easily sort out our defensive issues and move us up the table. 

They massively weakened the squad year on year when JDT was in charge.

Ffs this is absolutely awful if he's gone, we're absolutely fucked.

What's the point honestly.

Someone desperate will take the job.

Seen a tweet.

TBf to Gamst Jones he got a fair amount right on deadline day.

Getting so much hate and threats, it's mental.

Can someone please summarise the ins and outs without me having to trawl through 100+ pages.

As expected, we absolutely fucked it.

I've had enough, I'm on a splurge of upskilling the Facebook happy clapping lot. 

JDT should walk, he's getting back stabbed by the board - who should have fought tooth and nail for a budget to spend.

Fair play to JDT, awful transfer window.

For those interested, Nick Harris of Sporting Intel has provided this response to a question I put to him re the ownership and how they may exit. Recommend signing up to his newsletter/substack even at the free level, which is what this is from.

Agent of chaos: why the Venkys might not be the real bad guys in Blackburn Alex writes: As a Blackburn fan, it's fair to say the discontent with the owners is growing again. You covered the Venkys quite a bit previously but is there much which didn't make the public domain? And how do you see their ownership being resolved i.e. are they likely to sell or would it be administration or some other means that sees them leave the club? Several other Blackburn fans asked similar questions, including Alan Sheppard: Came here [to last week’s mailbag request page] with a similar question. Especially with the new rules about moving money out of India that seem to have caused cash flow problems at the club. NH: Thanks both. To start, there is a vast archive on Sporting Intelligence of Blackburn material from 2010 and 2011. I went to India for a week to meet the Rao family and look at how rich they really were (really rich) and find out what their motives were. I spent a lot of time with them and in contact with them through 2011 especially. Alex asks about information not in the public domain but I wrote about pretty much all the dodgy stuff as it happened, and by dodgy stuff I don’t mean by the Rao family, but principally by the agent Jerome Anderson, who orchestrated the deal to sell them the club in the first place without making it clear either to Blackburn’s board at the time, or to the Rao family, that he was acting for both of them without telling the other, for a commission at both ends. His aim was to persuade Blackburn to then let his company run the club on their behalf, and import players from all sorts of strange places to give them a world stage in the Premier League (with him as their agent) and then sell them on for profit (for him). Anderson did indeed get such a management contract, allowing him to fire and hire managers and buy players, among other things. the matriarch of the Venky’s clan, Mrs Rao, was naive and massively badly advised, but wasn’t corrupt and had good intentions for the club He fired Sam Allardyce, hired Steve Kean (a client of his management stable) and started recruiting players, often with massive agent’s fees for associates of his. As far as I could judge, the matriarch of the Venky’s clan, Mrs Rao, was naive and massively badly advised, but wasn’t corrupt and had good intentions for the club. The Rao family remain owners and have spent hundreds of millions of pounds on Blackburn since 2011 because, I feel, they do not want to fail. They still think they can get the club back to the Premier League one day. At this point, it’s unlikely that they will receive an offer for the club that would recover a substantial amount of the money they have spent – but if they did, I think they would probably sell. More likely, they will do whatever they realistically can to keep the club out of administration – a scenario in which they would lose control completely. As for currency export issues, these have been happening since late 2011. Remember when there were fears that not having enough money in the club’s bank account at the Blackburn branch might lead to wages not being paid? That was due to currency export issues. One of the moves they made to get out of that one was selling Chris Samba to Anzhi in Russia in early 2012. I will try to look again at the whole situation soon – and if I find anything concrete to report, I’ll write about it here.

That's an absolute nothing answer?

And what have they actually done to get us back to the premier league?

It's a load of bollocks.

Think it's down to us and the trust to actually start doing targeting advertising and upskilling of the Venkys and the broken promises etc etc 

This McGuire signing definitely won't happen.

I'm not sure he would start tbh here. I think Garrett or Ayari will take the place of Wharton

No clue what to say to this

Remember that when Ayari came in he wasn't coming as Travis replacement according to JDT.....so no one had replaced Travis and no one has replaced Wharton...

So we're fucked effectively.

Some people will listen to GBs interview and think the window went perfectly 😂

Who's cancelling this Jan loan this time? 

2 minutes ago, chaddyrovers said:

woah 2 games. 

Travis didn't suit JDT's type of playing style and what he wants from the number 6 role and the number 8 role 

He's a central midfield player, going to get at least play offs with Ipswich.

He'd start every game now Wharton has left.

4 minutes ago, chaddyrovers said:

No Travis wanted to leave cos he wasn't playing and when he did play he wasn't playing in the position he wanted in the 6 role

And now he'd be starting every game.....

We're tumbling to relegation.

Ahhh I see!! 

Add miracle worker to the Job description.

If you're employing a position for a role and have £20k salary budget to let's say employ a fully qualified accountant, you'd be struggling big time.

Same situation here.
