Entitled to your opinions, but they’ve paid their money and they’re entitled to theirs, which includes a review of some really poor football mixed with a couple of players doing well. I suppose in their eyes, we’re both “shit supporters” for not being there.

I think it’s fair based on the football on show, which has been - in the main - poor. Putting the off-the-pitch events to one side for 90 minutes: has it been an enjoyable watch for you?

Booed off. Fair, honestly. Scott Wharton looking a lot like he used to, which is encouraging. Unfortunately, very few are matching his desire or attainment.

Two teams in a form of crisis, basically. Not fluid, total lack of execution, lots of nerves.

Would be surprised if Fleck’s got more than 15 mins in his legs

Moran is just not worth having on the pitch, slows everything down, can’t execute the basics. What’s happened? He looked a good player early on.

Tronstad extremely tidy, he’s got the ability to be in the centre of midfield for us for a long time.

Just nowhere near as intelligent of a player, which is fair enough.

Big chance missed for Chrisene, on his weaker foot.

Seems suspiciously chipper…

It’s bleak, but you can only lead a horse to water. I suppose they’ll be happy to ride the coattails of any hypothetical fan action that leads to improved ownership and forget all about their support of the Venky’s. Was he all misty-eyed about Saint Tony, as well?

“Season 13?! Really?! You think people are going to buy this? You think people are going to get invested in missing out on a transfer that could turn into a club record fee, if they get promoted, because the Club Secretary is incompetent? You think they’ll suspend disbelief as this team misses out on a playoff spot to an injury-time handball goal by the opposition’s goalkeeper?!” If we don’t laugh, we’ll cry.

This. A lot of naivety on the board around exactly what the majority of footballers do with their money. Especially at the level he played at. “The rich don’t work for money,” as they say.

Was a cracking day out!

I rate Lee Carsley as a shout, but he must be eyeing up the main England job after Southgate leaves. Their policy seems to be keeping it internal.

Absolutely not getting ahead of myself (, he lied) but if I were to be: How many times have you just left a job, on the spot? I get that football is generally different, but on the eve of a game is a bit extreme and if it’s a genuinely mutual decision, he could be mindful of leaving a squad without a bit of guidance for an important match (it’s important in its context). He can wave to the fans on the way off and nobody can criticise him for a moment. It’s a classy move, honestly. I am reluctant to commit to any particular line of thinking after the abject chaos of yesterday, but the kind of scenario that should seem unthinkable anywhere else is now par for the Ewood/Brockhall course.

Extremely difficult not to read WAY too far into today’s events. Absolutely fascinating few days coming up. Either he goes and then chaos or he doesn’t go and it probably never gets addressed, leading to utter confusion.

This has Pasha’s grubby mitts all over it. Storming in to issue the “no transfers with fees, no contracts past the end of the season” edict, then getting wind of the likelihood that the club gets bashed for the policy. The guy is rotten, clearly.

Don’t threaten me with a good time.

Impressive, although - again - another only to the end of the season. Has to be something in the lack of commitment past the end of the season. Something has to be driving it.

One more incoming?!!! edit: Elliott Jackson previously said that was the final one, so he’s kind of exposed himself with that.

Not that it matters, but has anyone got an indication of a fee?

Teasing is a big part of foreplay, I’ve heard.

I will state the obvious for anyone biting their tongue from saying, “get behind the lads, FFS, Venky’s are keeping the club afloat,” or similar: if Venky’s sanction the Wharton money for spending in the summer, then fair enough and I shall toast each of them at my wedding to Margot Robbie in the Autumn. Buy a hat, gang, you’ve been warned.
