It will go against us and there's no getting out of this one for them. I have every faith in their level of incompetence... I said at the start of the window, you can't function properly as a club with owners like this. These things will happen again and again and again until they are gone.

Venky's out is really getting some movement on Twitter! I think we are onto something big this time.

I've criticised the club enough this week and the players shouldn't get off scot free either for recent displays... There are a few who I think have been woeful, Hyam is one, Brittain another, Moran is a backwards passer and Sigurdsson for me isn't cut out for the Championship... He's a poser, scared of a tackle, has zero pace, can't take on any Championship defender, there literally isn't one he can go past no matter how bad they are... Such a disappointing signing! He has a nice first touch and that's about it, tries too many flicks and is scared of getting hurt. Hairdryer treatment needed on him and a few others! The above, along with poor formation choices and tactics are really exposing one of our main weaknesses as a team... pace. It's a recipe for disaster and the manager is repeating it weekly. We miss Hedges and some more "normal" defensive tactics. I like Tomasson far more than Waggott and the owner's but if he doesn't make a drastic change, he's taking us down. We're over complicating Championship football, without having the players to do so. Garrett, Ayari or Fleck need to be in for Moran and they need to be asked to do the simple stuff in the middle. The team are playing as individuals at the minute and shit ones at that.

Every fan knew the Wharton deal would get done and it did. Simple as that. We'd have been more prepared than the club was. The place is rotten and a shambles. We should have an open top tour when the Rao's fuck off!

They will lose a lot of fans and deservedly so. I'm done (season ticket holder), as are most I speak to.

Only people with integrity will walk so that rules out Waggott. End of speculation.

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....
