The owners have boycotted us for years. The owners have failed to support the club. Pasha and gestede have failed to support the team when they dismantled it and replaced players with dross. They failed to support JDT and Eustace on the brink of play offs. They failed to support the club when they pissed off and got rid of long standing, well liked staff. They failed to support the team when they stuck with val. However it's the fans boycotting one game that will send us down... yeah right.

He's a good keeper we just lose when we play him

Had an amusing moment with my little girl who has just turned 3, still trying to grasp numbers and negotiating etc. Me: Right 5 more minutes of playing then we've got to start getting ready for bed Her: *stares me dead in the eyes*...... No....Three Not that this story is relevant to this thread in anyway just thought I'd share.

I let the missus watch love island

Trouble is football is now an industry worth billions so everyone is looking to get that extra few % out of the teams. Maybe hiring a specialist defensive coach seems like a pointless non-job waste of time but it could be one of those fine margins that make a real difference. The cost relative to the potential reward is decent. There are clubs were these modern structures work and work well. Then you get clubs trying to copy it...badly. Like us. People employed in roles with fancy titles but all the power is concentrated in one person.

I just want to know how many mods came rushing into this thread to start dishing out warnings for political posts

My only, very wishful thinking, is that the sale is contingent on us being a championship club so there might be a moderate amount of investment to try and keep us up

I genuinely think he believes he's the only Rovers fan to work in the corporate sector and all the lowly blue collar workers should bow to his knowledge. He gets right under my skin but as you say its best not to give him the time of day.

I also did this and im much happier for it

If there is genuine interest we need to be making sure that: A) the venkys know about it. I don't trust Pasha to relay the message if they're getting stonewalled, make sure the interest is public knowledge. I'm sick of the "who would buy us" crowd.

I'm in the same boat as many of the "away" rovers fans. I've no connection to Blackburn or the surrounding area, no family members support the club. It's something i started doing when I was a wee nipper. I was mid teens during the sparky area, with some quality players and Rovers punching above their weight. We were an exciting team and I was obsessed I remember discovering the blackburn rovers forums on the official website and buzzing my tits off that I could speak to other Rovers fans because I never encountered others in my day to day life. I haven't been to Ewood since the end of our relegation to league 1 season. I don't think I've been to an away game since covid. I was tempted during the JDT era when I felt we'd actually turned a corner and were trying. When I was a youngster with only 4 channels and living too far from Blackburn to realistically attend games I used to be over the moon on the rare occasion I could watch us on the TV. Now I let out a sigh every time I realise we're on telly. I didn't realise the Hull game was on tnt yesterday and im a bit mad at my wife for telling me. That's 4 games over the Xmas period that we've been on telly - heaven for my younger self - painful now. 4 games and I've seen us score 0 goals. With no connection to the town, with no link to the club, with no brighter future on the horizon, with zero enjoyment out of anything Rovers related, part of me thinks every now and then "I could just quietly give it up" just become a football fan. I love football and really enjoy watching other games. We're just a chore, everything about us. The second venkys go, I'm ordering from the club shop and getting myself down to Ewood but I feel like it's a long way off.

I thought it went straight to pens. Ffs someone score an own goal and end this game. Wish we had pears in goal

I only turned on at half time and it feels like I've watched 5 games already

Play off push- get behind the lads this is our chance Mid table mediocrity- wtf, we're a stable championship club this our level why do we need change it could be a lot worse When it gets a lot worse - get behind the lads they need us. If we're pushing play offs I'm on board with pausing any protest and having a big push, because PL could be the one scenario where they sell up. Once play offs are out of contention, there's no excuse to not be pushing for change imo.

£4m is pocket change to a premier league club, we should certainly be holding out for a lot more before entertaining the offer.
