So just to clarify, we are trying to keep Benno and Johnson? Why? What's that worth 500k + per annum, oh to work for a company where my budget can be spunked away like that. Bit like paying 175k a year for 'awesome' Pears and with those 2 we are probably paying close to 1 million pounds, just so TM has support in the dressing room. Or 1 million a year spent because our management cannot 'build' relationships or man-manage. If it wasn't Rovers, I'd be pissing myself with laughter.

Dear Desai Family, I hope this letter finds you well and the current world situation is not impacting you or your loved ones. I sincerely do. I write as a rovers supporter of 30years plus in a quite probably vain way, but written in the hope that it will find it's way to you. Rumours abound that you are disillusioned and confused in regards football and your club, Blackburn Rovers. Given the relative time, emotion and money I have invested in Rovers I wanted to write to offer some advise concerning how to alleviate your concerns, issues running our shared passion. I humbly hope that after you read/consider these proposals you will see that it is possible to remove the issues at Rovers. 1) Wipe out our debt to you. You as a family will feel so much better for having come true on your initial promises. 2) Sell our club to anyone who gives a dam. Your tenure has been great, I've loved every minute of it, but given our current status and the promised ones, we'll it's clear your ability to protect our legacy, isn't up to scratch. basically what I am saying in the most polite and respectful manner, is your issues are caused by owning us and 20m a year is a lot of money. It's time to pass the gauntlet on and no one would begrudge you after a decade protecting rovers. You have done your duty, in the darkest of days. The root cause of all the problems is you owning us, so please since you are the only ones who can change that please just: FUCK OFF You'll feel so much better for doing it, I promise. Kind regards Ulrich

Basically we are paying a player some 250k a year because TM could not manage a cactus and he needs a 'supporter' in the dressing room. It's quite pathetic, if you think about it. Yes boss we need to keep Benno, only 5k a week, 50% off, as I need a man in the dressing room to keep telling the lads how brilliant I am.

Has he played for Boro?

We both know he will sign a load of dross, mates and exboro players, using his amazing 'connection' to his new head of recruitment. We'll be struggling by November as the players need time to adapt to TMs masterclass of football, enduring his bollocks, bullpoo and hypocrisy 💩. He may or may not be sacked, but even if he is, the new man will also be 'pants' and a season of tough times beckons, with us hoping there are teams worse than ourselves. I'm really looking forward to next season now 😂😂

Sweet 500k a year saved.

That's rather interesting, however I knew nothing about that and changed the spelling as you wrote about 'smelly stuff from Pune', so I altered the spelling to better reflect the message. It's a bad joke when you gotta explain it 💩

Is it not spelt Poone?

Football is lazy Sparks, they want kids who are 'easy' to develop. The ones with some flaws, who just need something extra, some work, patience etc get ignored. There is little viewing of grass roots football by clubs, for whatever reason, but with a million kids playing some must be good enough. Rovers would do well to better scout grassroots clubs as our area is saturated with them and some must be good enough. But we both know player development in football is mainly rubbish. Which is a shame.

Jack O'Connell came from Liverpool County FA. So many kids get missed as, as Sparks says local scouting at most clubs is pants.

Worst case scenario he gets sacked next season when the Vs realise we are going down. Obviously they'll appoint a miracle man and save the day as always (😂😂😂), but what Jan/Feb latest for TM. Huge window, rebuild and his record is 🐕💩, so without Dack or Armstrong he's screwed.

He had a few sly digs at the fans this year, which is basically us lol. But it just shows he cannot accept criticism, imagine how he reacts to being told directly he is wrong? Steam must come out of hs ears and I'll wager he has a facial twitch going on. I can see him now, dressed in his white y-fronts in front of the mirror playing cowboy with a comb as his pistol. Bring your mates Tony, you'll still do pants and we've got the pre-war worst points run/total to beat. 😉 #wereonajourney

They cannot be any good if they've been listening to Sparks's opinion on football haha. Congrats, tell them well done and now the hard work starts 👍💪

We are shanty town people in their eyes. I'm tempted to quote tywin lanaster, but they are defo not lions, it could be twisted: Pigs are not concerned with the opinion of chickens. Hehe

I'm willing to wager whoever it is has worked at Middlesbrough. I cannot believe he thinks a connection out ranks ability and track record, but then again we've tolerated his gibberish for years. Basically TM needs a pal, as anyone of competence challenges him and TMs fragile little ego can't take it. What an insecure man he truly is, a 60 year old Cartman, haha.

LOL, someone will sign him, play him there and he'll turn into Cristiano Ronaldo, with TM proclaiming he 'developed' him with his 'coaching' skills.

Quality 😂

No way Bannan fits the mold for our possession based game. He's creative, passes forward and takes risks, he doesn't fit what we need, sideways only, backwards at times steady eddies who keep possession and don't take risks. If our stats drop the XG league ranking will mean nothing, keep ball players only for us this summer.

For me it's the way they must seriously think we are all thick as pig shit. Did they think we wouldn't find out about Coventry etc etc, do they honestly believe 'fans' cannot remember what they said last week? It just goes on and on and that's the biggest insult of all. All it displays is how the fans are truly seen within the halls of Ewood these days, mindless idiots who will believe anything we are told.

Tony Senior was it? haha, I played swing ball with De Niro. Kenny Senior, cracking character.

Fixed it 👍

We need to see Bell end.

He reminds of a bloke in the pub, you can trust me mate, I'm honest blah blah 🍻

Lets hope the rumours ring true, I cannot take another season of his "words", nor his constantly changing "reasons". It would be nice just once to have a manager under Venkys who actually came across and appeared to know what he was doing football-wise.

If he is also linked to teesside, then he sounds just a TM signing, crap, sicknote and a North Easterner, happy days.
