I did point out in DM's recently that Balaji could be the main problem. Madame and third wheel might have an active desire to sell with him being the one preventing it. Back when there was a link to Qatari ownership in 2011 it was rumoured Balaji was the only thing blocking it. Of course at the time I attempted to instigate a mass protest and got no help in return. Also it's been said that Balaji might want his son to take over. Apparently some people have spoken to him and said he came across as arrogant. So I guess you can rule out that "Walker family in reverse" scenario. Not that any potential saviour so to speak would necessarily be on Jack's level. They wouldn't have to be as it's not that hard to improve such low standards.

You don't even need creative methods though they don't hurt. The problem there is expecting the Blackburn public to have imagination. You just need to be relentless in your mission. Back in 2005 when I starting using this forum in my justified campaign against the Walkers it was still mainly pre-social media as it is now. Sure there was Facebook and Myspace but it was more about social connection than it is now. Then more and more people saw the opportunity to get their point across. It's gotten to the point where you can't even comment on an actor or sports star without people bringing up the slightest moral lapse in their past. Or calling them bigots if they complain about something perfectly reasonable like being stuck next to a fat person on a long flight. I don't want to get too big on conspiracy theories (usually stick to football with them) but some of those tech billionaires at Silicon Valley probably knew exactly what they were doing. As I said recently maybe the next big trend is celebrity ownership. I was right to recognise more would follow Abramovich though I never expected a ban on ambition. Infact tomorrow would be the perfect time to highlight that there is a much more historical successful club (with a more marketable name and a better kit when it isn't tainted by a garbage sponsor) that could easily outdo what Reynolds and McElhenny have done without needing 3 promotions. Someone who makes them look like d-listers and could help Venkys save face. It could be one or two individuals or a consortium intent on using their name presence to transform a club overnight. Jack Walker was probably the first person to do that instantly albeit at a club where many fans could still remember being title challengers (in the 60's) and being more historically successful than Liverpool. Will you use tomorrow's game to highlight that at the stadium or in social media? I know by now to expect absolutely nothing. Prove me wrong for once.

Red Devil Rovers v Wrexham United.

Surprised they haven't made up a sponsor. "Ye Olde Totally Wickede vape".

It's probably better if they don't unless you're trying to put them off. If you're explaining illness as a reason for continuing to go you can also make an argument for the exact opposite. Why waste part of your life on people who don't care (and that includes a significant number of fans on certain issues such as that trash in Monaco) and have a complete lack of empathy? The English sports media and a lot of people in English football are complicit too in ruining Jack's legacy. If you want to get over the bitterness (not that I have) it's better to keep English football to a minimum and look abroad. Has the last 20 years posting on forums like this improved my mental health? Absolutely not. Infact I've sometimes wondered if some kind of illness would be my snapping point. Maybe I just watch Breaking Bad too much but you never know. Nothing to lose when you're seriously ill especially if you're 100% justified in taking action while you're still able to do so. Blue and white. Not blue, white and red devil. What did I say about empathy again? Where's the empathy for Jack when Totally Wicked gets slapped on the kit? It's an insult to him.

There's a lingering resentment from certain people in the media towards Jack Walker to this day. It's also the same with certain high profile fanbases such as the Salford red devil scum who have been instrumental in creating the current environment where ambition is to be punished. Of course this hasn't done them much good recently largely through their own incompetence and customary arrogance. How can you resent someone so committed that he apologises for being unable to attend while fighting cancer? This question needs to be asked with relentless frequency and vitriol until they are forced to acknowledge it. Of course what needs to be done is never done. You would think after 20 years I had learned my lesson (and for the most part I have which is why you rarely hear from me) but stubbornness is both a positive and a negative. Of course with Venkys it's very much the latter. There is of course the other question...what next? In my opinion you need to capitalise on what could be a growing trend. High profile celebrity ownership which brings with it unique revenue streams. There are people out there who make Reynolds and Mcelhenny look like d-listers. Some of them might be interested in following them into football at a club with vastly superior historical success. There's also the question of Venkys saving face and a big part of that could be who they sell to.

If someone set themselves on fire on the pitch all they would do is moan about missing the game. People that like are not worth it. What Jack did wasn't worth it. That's what he would say if he had to listen to people like that. How could you not?

They are beyond redemption. Of course you know because we discussed it but Howard was strutting around the statue as recently as August. A few of you also know (for a brief period until I had it removed) the first picture that came up under Jack Walker on Google was a picture of Howard in front of the statue. You couldn't even see the top half of the statue. Sickening. The only things that could have summed it up more would have been if he was carrying a bag of money and an axe. Do people think their profits ended with the sale? Northcote were happy to do business with the club until Matthewman sold. What else went on behind closed doors? I fully believe they are close friends with Pasha and have other friends who were instrumental in the takeover and gained power (and money) in the aftermath. They might not seek the former but the only thing they care about is the latter.

43 and 25 any better than their names suggest?

Probably blame Jack for not building a roof.

Does not help either when the pitch sustains damage from exposure to poisonous toxins.

Is there any point reacting at this point to a dying football club? Especially after reading Howard Walker was on the pitch just last month albeit with some minor criticism on Facebook. Then there's the disgusting Totally Wicked episode. The club and in some cases it's former personnel just sink lower and lower. I'm increasingly of the feeling that it would have been better had Man United snatched the title away at the end. Or better yet if Jack just hadn't bought the club at all. The only consolation is that as a non-believer in the afterlife I don't really believe he's aware of it. Every second I spend on here (which isn't much) is a waste of my time. Enough is enough. Is that something we can agree on?

At least they don't share his name.

Amorim trying to deflect blame to his technical director (apparently not allowed to say his name) recently in the usual backstabbing that goes on at that club. Jack Walker never behaved like that hopefully he will get what he deserves soon.

Strange to see Man United and Arsenal fixture on the opening day. I guess that sums up the lack of league titles for both of them recently and only one is likely to be anywhere near league title contention.

I hope nobody wore that disgusting vaping/red devil logo at his memorial and that certain people were not present.

Forest ban Neville!

Waggott's last act was to arrange 2 pre-season games at Ewood. Foggia and America De Cali.

Utter disregard for Jack Walker's death from lung cancer. Slapping a red devil on the kit. Anything else is an irrelevance in comparison.

They need someone to blame. How long until Whorecox takes the fall. Lancashire Telegraph hiring?

Arsenal hand Amorim his first defeat and hopefully will also deprive them of the FA Cup at the first hurdle. No shortage of goals in the PL tonight that's for sure.

For a Championship level club it's not even beyond the scope of realism. Hell a league 2 club reached a domestic final not too long ago. Not to mention for some clubs it may be their only real chance of a honour or the only thing they will win (besides a lower league title, promotion or competitions for lower league clubs) in living memory. Of course because of Jack Walker (who was unfit in the eyes of that idiot who owns Accrington) that isn't the case for many people on here.

Plymouth would have a better chance staying up if they appointed Steve Kean than keeping Rooney. That's how useless he is. Another humiliation for him today and of course none of it will be his fault. Poor Plymouth but they have brought it on themselves. No wonder they beat you a few weeks back they probably got an adrenaline boost knowing they wouldn't have to listen to the idiot on touchline at their next game after being sent off. I don't know why Lampard gets so much abuse it was the same as a player. He always seems to get a bit of disrespect. Of course Rooney has had his detractors too (mainly from being a thick thug) but how anyone can mock Lampard's managerial abilities and defend him is bizarre.

Well it exists now.
