It's called access journalism. Learn what it is.

That is literally what is happening here. I only get really pissed off by the epsilon element that claim to be fans of this club denying reality. "Who will pay the 20 million a year?" How about asking WHY we lose 20 million a year. I think this is probably the most balanced message board you'll find for any club. It's funny how discussion about the actual reality of the situation we're in and have been in since we were infected with the venkys virus is seen as 'negativity'. What the fuck else are we supposed to talk about? Again, maybe you should be asking questions yourself instead of lambasting others for actually giving a fuck. That last sentence isn't aimed at you BTW mr Donnis.

None of that money will be reinvested in the squad and come summer when we're all asking 'what about the Wharton money?' we'll get some lecture from a brainless cretin saying "U need two lurn about ffp get behind Ur teem FFS!"

He fired Sam Allardyce, hired Steve Kean (a client of his management stable) and started recruiting players, often with massive agent’s fees for associates of his. As far as I could judge, the matriarch of the Venky’s clan, Mrs Rao, was naive and massively badly advised, but wasn’t corrupt and had good intentions for the club. The Rao family remain owners and have spent hundreds of millions of pounds on Blackburn since 2011 because, I feel, they do not want to fail. They still think they can get the club back to the Premier League one day. At this point, it’s unlikely that they will receive an offer for the club that would recover a substantial amount of the money they have spent – but if they did, I think they would probably sell. More likely, they will do whatever they realistically can to keep the club out of administration – a scenario in which they would lose control completely. As for currency export issues, these have been happening since late 2011. Remember when there were fears that not having enough money in the club’s bank account at the Blackburn branch might lead to wages not being paid? That was due to currency export issues. One of the moves they made to get out of that one was selling Chris Samba to Anzhi in Russia in early 2012. I will try to look again at the whole situation soon – and if I find anything concrete to report, I’ll write about it here. All of that is ancient history and nothing we don't already know. What have they done in the 12 years since? Why is it that every single time they involve themselves in the club's business it is to our detriment? Just repeating the same bullshit "badly advised" argument. That has never washed with me and never will. They've had over a decade to right those wrongs and have done absolutely nothing. This January transfer window is as low a point in the club's history as when they appointed that bald cunt as manager. I am praying for the day the club goes into administration as it will finally be the end of the venky virus. The club under venkys is nothing other than a total disaster, a disgrace and a source of constant embarrassment for those of us who truly bleed blue and white.

I have edited to avoid upsetting the 'snowflakes'

I thought I was being quite complementary actually.

We have some people that follow this club that are on another plane of existence.

It's best not to waste valuable time on cretins like this. Just bypass them the same way that all other aspects of reality do.

Beyond embarrassing. If only we had billionaire owners....

Another transfer window that can only be described as a total disaster.

The Smiths - There Is A Light That Never Goes Out

Given that the January transfer window can only be described as a total disaster and a sickening embarrassment to the supporters of this once great club, a statement of no confidence from the trust is the absolute bare minimum.

I certainly won't.

Pathetic.

Have we signed this McGuire permanent?

Massive understatement

13 years.

Tar and feather swag and the shadow man?

Do you ever have an opinion of your own?

Any chance I can interest you in some magic beans? They're on sale at the moment.

I've still got a sale on for my magic beans. Bargain at only £350 each.

I think you're giving rovers a bit too much credit there

Unless you're pro venkys, then you were never a rover and never will be.

Lots of agents fees to be had in this deal.

They aren't Rovers fans. Simple as that.
