It's a good question that you pose and none of us can know for sure what the answer is.The losses are historic so I would guess that they are rich enough to afford the £15m or so that they lose without being too put out especially as they might lose face within the Indian business community if they did withdraw. I don't think they would get £300m on a sale even if we were back in the Premier League.

I find it very hard to believe - in fact impossible to believe- that the Indian tax authorities would effectively allow a significant proportion of the losses at Blackburn Rovers to be subsidised by Indian taxpayers. Put it this way, our tax system would not allow a UK company to offset losses in an Indian cricket team against its UK profits.

I'm still a Chartered Accountant and I completely agree with you. It is complete nonsense to suggest that our club is being used by the owners for nefarious purposes. They have been very foolish in their approach to owning the club. That is it.

You can see his goal on YouTube- he scored from about 50 yards out although there must be some doubt as to whether the ball crossed the line for a goal.

He kept them up last season.

We are never going to know if there was a shout - or maybe Carter didn't hear it. I don't see how you can say"obviously" in these circumstances. Additionally Carter's clearance was very poor. But the point is that Pears wasn't at fault for what happened from the corner - it was one of those messy goals that you hope won't happen at all.

At the end of the season that late equaliser may prove to be what gets us in to the playoffs. I can't remember since I was so entertained by one of our players as Joe Rankin-Costello today. Although perhaps he should be grateful that he doesn't have an Italian defensive minded coach as manager since he didn't seem to be playing in any particular position. I don't understand why people are blaming Pears for their first goal. He advanced to collect the header by the Huddersfield player but it was then deflected close up by Morton and also by a Huddersfield player - no human being would have the reflexes to change their position there.

If they're under contract they don't have to !

I can't see anything in any of that as to who would not want us promoted - or why.

No idea - but as they are under contract for next season, will have a promotion bonus written in to their contracts plus a salary uplift if we are in the Prem why would they not want to be promoted .

Please could you name these "few".

You produce these doom-laden postings at regular intervals. Not that long ago you were asking if it was possible to bet on us not winning another game this season - we proceeded to go on a run of winning every game for which you were nowhere to be seen on this board. Then you reappear when we lose a game or two. I can see no logical reason why anybody at the club would not want promotion. Promotion bonuses - reputed to be in excess of £10m - plus higher salaries make it in everybody's interests to go up.

Yet we are still above Preston despite having played one game less. Shouldn't they be getting the "lot of them out" first ?

Harold Shipman ?

We have scored 12 goals in the league since January.

He has us in the play off positions with a small number of games to play. I find it hard to believe any poster on here would not have settled for that at the start of the season - I for one am happy with where we are and am of the opinion that we stick with our present management. Are you suggesting that we should change the club's football management ?

He won 2 titles in Sweden which suggests to me that he knows how to get his team over the line.

I think we might have been a bit unlucky with Hirst. He lost all confidence here after a poor start but is probably a fair bit better than we thought.

Like Paul Mckinnon ?

I think the comment was referring to Leicester's financial position.

Isn't it just the first £30k that is tax free ?

Difficult to win 2-0 if that was actually true.

Our midfielders dictated play so that Ukraine never looked like scoring.

Bukayo Saka is not "bang average".

According to the footballwebpages site average attendance to date this season is 14,279 so we're getting there.
