Good luck with that.

Think even a clone of 1/4 of each of Ferguson, Pep, Ancelotti and Michels would struggle with that starting eleven.

Won’t be easy for Pasha two years down the road though. Now he’s actually got some quality players to sell who generate fees, will be a different story then.

Both Charlton and Derby will finish above Rovers this season, 100%. Worst Rovers squad in 150 yrs?😔

I do agree, but how questionable can this activity really have been - it’s not like they’ve been trafficking drugs or people through Ewood is it? Ok, perhaps the buyers DD reveals (just speculations - worst case scenarios) they’ve paid a lot of fees to shady agents (which club hasn’t), may have been dealing with some cash under the table perhaps(unlikely to be discovered), bookkeeping and tax reporting may not have been top notch, some questionable related party transactions maybe, but this is all minor stuff in the grand scheme of things. And when the club has been sold they’ll all be back in India safe and sound miles away from any fines, minor negative publicity etc. It will all be history and forgotten about sooner than we all think. Why can’t they at least do as Chansiri at Sheff W, who now seems to finally have decided to sell (although he’s apparently turned down some more than decent offers recently and appears to have put a crazy price tag on the club) - at least he’s responding to offers in a semi-rational manner???

I thought this was a joke (nice one🤣), but no, it’s real 😫 https://www.linkedin.com/company/executives-in-sport-group-recruitment?originalSubdomain=uk Must say it’s quite tempting to post a comment to this on LinkedIn… will I be reported and excluded from LinkedIn if I post a comment asking if this isn’t really more of a COO role? How can this ever be called a CEO position, btw? Only reason I can think of is the fact that the position that fits the description - COO - is already taken🙈

A boardroom shit show from start to finish. As all previous seasons under Venky’s. But probably even more so - the No.1 shit show (so far) - given the turn of events in February.

That’ll have to be the Let Your Best Players Leave For Free model (LYBPLFF). Combined with some significant investments. Which, as far as I can recall, historically has successfully pushed a club that used to play in League One as far up as 7th in the Championship twice. Proven track record👍

Brilliant investment that Dennis loan👍

Watching Villa - PSG. We could’ve been there, we could’ve had that. If only we we were in the Prem, top half perhaps, and let’s say we got new billionaire owners and could build from there… wait a minute…

Not unlikely, that. Will backfire massively though, dead last come Christmas😔

Should be looked into whether this in itself could give rise to legal action against the club (or perhaps be a criminal offence). Could it (now or in the future) e.g. constitute harassment? Any forum spotters (and the club admin/owners) should note that the Rovers supporters are a diverse group of people with resources to pursue such claims. There should be no doubt.

An experienced, charismatic motivator, like N Warnock. At this stage I’m thinking the duo of father/son Graham and Alan Carr would have done better that VI🤔

Latest annual accounts stating otherwise…

Dear lord. Couldn’t take more than 2 mins. What a bunch of incompetent liars. They are actually in an alternate universe those three.

Thanks, good grief😵

Are these actual statements made by VI?

Looks like it, yes. But why? Most of them are out of contract by then anyway…

Penalty.

This is it, isn’t it - the time has come, the board room incompetence finally showing, and there’s nowhere to hide… no Eustace or JDT to save them… next season we’ll be rock bottom, and we can have 30 seasons after that with Venky’s without any chance of promotion…. Last chance for payback on their investment well and truly squandered by Suhail P.

I’ve given up on this season, it’s effectively over. Next season: Given up on that as well. Will be a miracle (the ‘water to wine’ kind) if we avoid relegation. Do we have 11 senior players contracted for next season?

Valerien: What’s your effin game plan?? Whole team looks… very very uninspired. Criminal from both players and coach.

I have no faith in Ismael whatsoever. He has a high opinion of himself, talks the talk and walks the walk, but: He’s never been able to hold down a senior management job for more than 14 months (and only once more than a year) - i.e. just another chancer.

Penalty.

The second one is NOT a yellow.
