As we've seen with things like Brexit, COVID, Trump etc. online disinformation campaigns can be very effective. The pro venkys one is pretty basic, it just appeals to the reptile brain element of the fan base. You're the real fans, it's the 'negative' fans who complain or don't go to matches who are the problem. Everything that the 'negative' fans say is wrong, the owners are brilliant it's not their fault. Pretty basic cult indoctrination really. For those of us who have the ability to form a thought for ourselves it is beyond infuriating.

The only reason anyone knows anything about venkys being under investigation is because of this website.

We're much closer to that with venkys in situ.

Genuinely baffling that anyone could think Venkys are preferable to administration. Where have these people been for the last 13 years?

Walk out with him. I am genuinely amazed he has lasted this long. Last January his position was made untenable but that was nothing compared to this January and the summer.

A lot of them will be paid accounts deliberately spreading disinformation. Then there's the element of our fan base that have as much critical thinking ability as a pinecone. It's pretty obvious where the consensus amongst them has been spawned from as all our problems are always down to anything and everything except the owners. Wasn't their fault, badly advised. Wasn't their fault, FFP Wasn't their fault, players wouldn't sign contract Wasn't their fault, shit fans Wasn't their fault, EFL Wasn't their fault, Indian government Wasn't their fault..... Just use your own fucking brain for once! That's if you've got one of course.

Out of all the arguments that have been made on this message board, this has to be amongst the most bizarre. What are you actually trying to say here?

10/10 post.

100%. I have no tolerance for people denying reality.

Epsilons.

Is a large section of their fan base militantly denying reality and defending and supporting the people responsible for the absolute disaster that they are going through?

The LET are nothing other than the club stenographers. They have plainly said that he has been blocked from talking to the press. There was press done with new signings but not the manager. Make of that what you will.

Won't somebody please think of the FFP!

I don't know how a grown adult can't understand that this is how 'journalism' works. It's literally called Access Journalism.

So this is what it looks like when the club gives a fuck.

All aboard the BRFC moneygoround!

Price?

I will never ever tire of seeing that setup from super Rio for that goal. I love how he tries to blame the keeper.

I can write a load of made up bullshit if you're willing to pay me.

It's easy enough to tolerate and forgive people for being wrong or saying/doing something stupid. Every single one of us is guilty of that. What should not be tolerated though is people militantly denying reality. Calling these people cretins is being kind to them. I will not stop calling these people out for what they are and every bit of distain and dismissal is one hundred percent justified. They are a massive part of the problem. They are the reason we don't have a united fan base. Anyone who supports venkys in any way shape or form has absolutely no right to call themselves a Blackburn Rovers supporter.

100% with you on that one. For some reason we have to start small with any kind of action against the people that have dragged this club to the lowest points it's ever been.

They are not fans of this club.

Nothing to stop YOU from doing something though, which is the point duffsleftpeg is making.

When during venkys reign has there ever been a shred of honesty emanating from the club? Apart from JDTs press interviews of course.

So by not holding the press conference they have stopped him from talking to the press. Not quite a gagging but they've still removed the platform from which he can speak.
