Some clubs just deserve relegation and that is what's happening here.

What if it's Venky's that are responsible?

Do we need to raise funds to get this going properly?

"VENKY'S SELL THE CLUB!" Is what I'd love to see plastered around the ground during that fixture. It's not new owners that we want to encourage to start making the right decisions, enough is enough. They've had their chances. We want them gone!

Jesus there couldn't be a more perfect fixture!

There can't be many at this level having to get deals done under the circumstances created by Venkys.

You know your club is completely f*cked when your manager can essentially say whatever the hell he wants in an interview and still not get fired. I love JDT for sticking it to our incompetent owners and execs. Things are happening at this club that do not happen anywhere else; they are happening repeatedly with good managers... and bad ones. You'd think that alone would be enough for every fan to realise the owners need to go. No one can be measured properly until the club is ran properly, that starts at the very top and is influenced heavily by the CEO but even he isn't measured correctly - so you're f*cked before you've even started. Unfathomably it still needs spelling out for a lot of people... Venky's are the root cause of the problems at Blackburn Rovers.

The McGuire revelation is it for me, on so many levels. I've absolutely no interest in renewing my season ticket next year. Won't be giving a penny more till Venky's are gone, so suspect that's me done with the club for a very very long time.

Intelligent man is JDT. I think you'd have to ban anyone at the club that's intelligent and driven from speaking to the media right now. Facebook lot would be fine.

There's cutting budgets for the right reasons and then there's cutting budgets because you have the wrong owners.

You can't make it up. Shambles of a club.

Rovers are a sorry state of affairs.

I'm devastated about this one and the state of the club.

HA! The exact type of contract we struggle with. Still not having any of it. We are a shambles.

Going to go back to this from Jan 19th, it will be relevant every day they own the club. This is an ownership issue and since this post they're about to receive £22,000,000. £22 million that could have made a huge difference with other owners. Sickens me.

The fans will be done with Waggott after today Look forward to it 👍

This kid is gonna have a point to prove. We are a disgrace.

I'm taking a bit of satisfaction in the owner's proving us right. They are feeding the protests and I feel this time they're running out of excuses and places to hide. The day they leave, I'll celebrate like we've won the league.

I don't think you pull the plug on a signing when a deal "might" be off..... ? Palace were always going to see Wharton through, c'mon. Rovers knew it. You don't go running to Orlando to say "it's off" in the middle of a deal that can be rectified. It's absolute nonsense from the club and we know how the day ends....

They are thick and missing the point. Don’t write the cheque if you can’t cash it. Literally in this case. Trust and credibility is everything. If what we’re hearing is true, it’s an unforgivable way to run a business. Where do Venky’s go from here. It certainly won’t be “up” in the world of football.

Fabrizio Romano I introduce to you Venky's, the worst owners in English football capable of damaging anyone's credibility, even yours.

The fans that pretend we don't need new owners are becoming a real problem for the club. It's as simple as that.

McGuire and O'Brien feeling what the majority of sane Rovers fans have felt for years. Our reputation as a club and as a business is at an all time low and the decline will continue until they are gone. Perhaps this will wake the rest of the fan base up.

£22m with no time to spend it. It really is the perfect offer for Venky's.

This is also what Bellingham sold for. Albeit that money hasn't help Birmingham much! Expect similar things here.
