The Brentford model vs the Blackburn model, oh and everyone gets to keep their job during those 10 years (unless they decide they don't want it anymore), it's completely up to the employee. 🤡

It's called the 5 year plan, in reverse. Which ultimately results in a new 10 year plan.

The club is not moving forward under Steve Waggott it's as simple as that.

The worrying thing is I think he'd get in the team.

/ returned him... So I can see this one happening under Waggott's watch.

Preston released him cause he was on the piss before games.

None 😄

and the reality is the reduction isn't enough to signify "come back" or "we want thousands more fans in Ewood", it's a £30 gesture to the fans that had to endure last season to do it all again. They're gonna have to pull some rabbits out the hat to rescue this club and I just don't think the current management have it in them. I was watching this carefully. We want our Rovers back has to be the message again soon.

I find it concerning that they've clearly had a good group of supporters and a great representation of the fan base tell them everything explicitly and this is the best they can do. Nice they're a bit less... but they really could't give a f*ck is what I take from it. They must think we're stupid... it feels a more blatant attempt than ever to trap as many supporters in early cause they know a summer of not enough reinvestment is coming. Pass.

Best days behind him? How dare you, he's 37 😆 Rovers need to learn to spend some decent money in key positions, it's as simple as that. 1m+ on a GK, a striker, a CM and a left back. Loan in a winger. Job done but will never happen even though the funds have been generated. Can't be many left in the "Venky's In" brigade now? "Give them the summer!" and so the show continues 🤣

Broughton would probably agree with you. Good luck getting Steve onboard with any good, ambitious manager.

and this is exactly why other clubs are more ruthless with their staff choices. It's called ambition.

Followed by the incompetent Waggott not renewing player contracts and under-monetising everything about the club... How he's still got a job I don't know.

Ruddy looked like he should have retired a year ago when he played at Ewood. Avoid. God it really is going to be a desperate summer of shite brought in and high priced tickets again isn't it. Pass.

and so my subscription cancellations begin... I wonder if they read the messages. Yes, that is a small amount of my money not going to the club each month because the CEO is a plodder. It all adds up.

Yep and I think he's a shite player but it was still completely illogical.

Does this man say anything else other than "connection" and "togetherness". Jesus! We have really dumbed things down with this appointment. Not for me.

Let's not suddenly start thinking Travis is good. He's a mascot for Ipswich. He would have been useful to us in the relegation battle though. A move that happened way too early in the window, as many fans predicted, apart from the "be patient", "the club knows what they're doing", "I'll judge when the window's over" brigade.

The reality is he wasn't in charge at the start of the fixture so it's really kind to give it him as his first win. It's also extremely harsh on Damien Johnson and the people who took training that week, and prepared for the game.

IF we survive and Harry Pickering, Tyrhys Dolan and Sam Gallagher are still in the starting 11 next season we can forget about the Championship - it means we haven't done anything in the window. They are backup players at best at this level. There are plenty of others in the match day squad that aren't good enough too... Markanday, Garrett, Telalovic, Pears, Wahlstedt etc. We need 8 or 9 signings, not kids... Decent quality and it's going to cost money. £10m+ needs spending to make up for previous windows of spending nothing. A good chunk of the Wharton money simply has to be reinvested in players to keep the club afloat or push on and money MUST be spent on a goalkeeper. Good luck getting all of that approved back in India, and the paperwork for each signed off in time. No chance. As a squad we have regressed significantly over the past 3 years. It's the Brentford model in reverse, sell your best players and reinvest poorly or not at all.

Huge amount of plaudits again today. The boy really is special.

All are due a win then 🙂 It can happen.

You reap what you sow. They can stuff it.

Give either of those managers 6 months at Ewood and they'll both want to quit. Then when they start to underperform drastically to the detriment of the players and any league position neither will be fired for a very very long time. ^ The life of a Blackburn Rovers supporter... that many are happy with 🙂

Must be nice to have a squad where you can rest players. What a luxury!
