I take back everything I’ve said about the model. Great model this - close to 12 mill in transfer income. Also - getting rid of 2/3 of the starting 11 every summer is probably wise, get the prima donnas out I say. F**k continuity👍

The «model» is a death spiral - no way they’ll attract the same talent again (as recent sales) with the limited levels of spending we are seeing now. Pasha possibly understands this(?), but as long as he can keep the lights on he’ll continue to make a fortune for a few more years (where else would he get x100k per year? Don’t forget - 500k x 10 years = 5 mill). As long as the overlords in India don’t interfere he’s good👍

Makes sense from a rational/normal perspective, but bookies clearly haven’t factored in the current “situation” at Rovers. Equally likely, regardless of results, VI’ll sack Rovers. Will he be sacked if Rovers get relegated?

Is this a dream?

He’s likely been treated like sh*** by the club and things behind the scenes are an absolute mess affecting his career, finances, family etc. So he doesn’t want that in his life and wants out. Doesn’t matter whether he loves the club - treated badly and the club’s got zero decency, ambition and money=find another employer. Simple as.

Living in Barcelona, playing Atletico Madrid on a Sunday evening (and winning)… can you blame him? Well done and good luck, I say👍

This is exactly the kind of performance that will gets us relegated.

Ref’s mates with Cantwell, but hates Ohashi.

Dear Lord, should have been a free kick, but when not - pass the ball ffs.

Especially when we might as well have fielded a front 3 of Kygo, Lisa Stansfield and David Gray. Would have been equally effective as our current attackers.

I realise that’s probably correct. But I also ask myself how that’s possible 😆😭

In other news: Sorba T and L Baker securing Stoke’s victory over Eustace…😵

Looking at our team - our bench is decent (for a bench), problem is the starting 11. We don’t have the required Champ quality do we - just two sets of decent second lineups…

Not another hair transplant I hope?🤷‍♂️

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😔
