Misses a yard of pace for this level and forces him inside. Until we have an overlapping left back you're then left with a repetitive and easy issue to deal with as a full back -

Apparently we've put a bid in for their keeper -

Austria-Hungarian if we're being technical, but 20th century German/Austrians we best not get in to! -

We were linked with one in the middle east. Keeper or something to replace Walshcheidt. Was a no go in the end, scouts said he had holes for hands -

What's the odds on a JDT out and sympathy for Venkys February nth at Ewood once we've sold Wharton, Gally and loaned Travis but narrowly missed out on replacing them with quality players by the nasty rule keepers at the FA and the Indian courts system -

They also have Varane and Kingsley Coman so wouldn't read into it in the same way we have previously with the Scottish/Middlesbrough mafia -
Venky’s & Waggott Out Protest Ideas
B16Rover replied to DuffsLeftPeg's topic in Blackburn Rovers Fans Messageboard
Currently if I'm 17 years old and go on every away day, I hear the Venkys keep us afloat with 20m a year. I know 'uncle jack' in the same way I know god in church. What will get me to wear a scarf or go to a march. I saw a twitter/x post of Newport away and it was a bus full of 14-19 year olds. I don't think necessarily the older generation need convincing because they've got the anecdotal experience. But to have a successful protest (in my view, having never had one) I think you need A clear message A bought in base An emotive pull And if the Facebook groups are anything to go by the consensus of rovers is below Venkys keep the club afloat Without them we go bust We all love rovers -
Venky’s & Waggott Out Protest Ideas

My personal view only but needs to be more done to target under 25 year olds who have Stockholm syndrome. X threads, tiktok accounts etc. Need to explain the accounting to people who haven't worked in business. Really clear messaging, challenging with simple numbers some of the claims. I would view it as 'whatsapp shareable' infographics that look good (maybe the accounts from pre Venkys to post Venkys on a timeline etc - simple round numbers tied to delcine). And then on the Tiktok reels a mixture of general 'old rovers' clips with some PR spin videos now and again challenging ownership in a easy way. Comparisons to other clubs (who would buy Blackburn? Look at Bolton etc) Not that I don't think any of the above is good - but we've a generation now who a) don't know any different, absorb shorter length content and c) haven't the life experience to challenge some of the oddities. -

I joked about signing Telalovic from the German power league at soccer Dome but at least he had some illusion of pedigree from Borussia Monchengladbach (sp?) If we sign this lad from Belgium I'm going to start bringing my boots to Ewood on the off chance -

They view a sustainable premier league club as a profitable and safe investment for the Arizona emergency services pension fund. Who would buy Blackburn rovers?

A recurring question is given our youth team play and do well in the same league as all the youngsters we loan in, where is the good business in doing this and not developing within. The academy model can be offset with experienced heads but supplementing it with further academy drags it all down -

Surely there is a tall strong athletic goal scoring left winger at a premier league B team on £500 a week who can also play up front, at centre back, at left back and in goals.. surely? -

Nobody at the club wants relegation, obviously, but I wonder if some look at 12 months in a lower competition standard as a benefit to our academy graduates and a way to maximise their value Tin foil hat off Part of me does thing JDT w/c/should play an entire academy team on the first game in Feb if he's not backed this window -

Too many sadly viewing us as a stepping stone. Oh well if we draw today I'm back off the X in the summer.
