Old Codger

I had a bit of a dig around and the consensus from the fan side seems to be that he will be a good addition, full of confidence and hungry to do well, at the peak of his game and a steal at (ahem) £8 million 'for the best player in the Championship last season.' There is more anxiety that 'Blackburn will mess it up' than there is about a 28 year old coming into a young side. Meanwhile, back in the bumbling crumb stew that is Rovers pre-season debacle, nothing has happened other than a whole load of piss and wind, and our reserve reserve reserve keeper joining Bamber Bridge. Exciting times. ? 😐

What are the Tractor Boys boards saying about Sammie's move, which also seems to be mired in treacle? It seems likely that the charade is linked to at least one sale, probably SS to Ipswich, which is the bottleneck slowing down all other developments / announcements at this end. C'mon Ipswich - time to shit or get off the pot.

Aye, but his actual job is to work his socks off and be a bloody good....striker. Tada! See what I did there?

Feck me, this is grim... waiting up late, hoping beyond hope that something, any sodding thing might happen to dispel the gloom and move our once proud club forward even a millimetre. But NOTHING?? Grim. Probably the scheming Maggwaggot polishing his pension pot, and mouthing pleasantries down the bog to his masters in the dock. Grim as fuck.

I heard he was 7'2" and has to jump downwards to get on the end of crosses. A bit like Telalovic being an Olympic standard sprinter.

I wonder if we will be treated to another clusterfuck from Mr Waggott, about the ambition for the club in the coming season? I mean, he was pretty much on the money last season, right? (remain a Championship club). One thing is for sure, even a gobshite like our Chair isn't going to stick his chin out and say we are looking upwards realistically at the Premier League. Nope.

Ah yes, the old, "pretty much the entire team" department.. no issues there, I suppose, with just a few days to the start of the actual season... no, nothing to see here....jog on...

That's pretty easy - the opposition 😒

Mods, please could we have a countdown timer to the court case in August - it would be great if we could, and it was displayed / pinned to the landing page of the BRFCS website, as I think it is quite likely to be a watershed in the club's history and future fortunes. G'waan now, ye know yis want to.. G'WAAANNN !

And the last time there was a 'protest' organised for a home game (Birmingham City 2020/21 season) I was the only muggins who actually turned up at the appointed time..in the rain... oh and with the sole Big Club protester who stuck his banner on the railings on Bolton Road.. Naahh, most folk on here don't have the cojones for a protest, let alone the tennis variety. It would be marvellous to see folk dancing in the streets around Ewood Park, however, if the irksome chicken chokers took their ball home after picking the carcass clean this summer.

Hurrah! Someone else (like me) who can smell the stink of shit coffee

Indian pride, when hurt, takes a long time to recover. They got shafted when they bought the club, got snowballed when they visited the club, got stiffed when they bought a house mansion farm close by so they could watch the club, and got found out for money laundering being spoilt half-wit bastards by their tax authorities. So, like the spoilt half-wit bastards they are, they are taking out their frustration on the local population, who they regard as lower than the stinky stuff that sticks to their slippers when collecting eggs at the weekend from the chikporium.

Wake up Chaddy. It doesn't matter what the number is - it means nothing to the Rovers squad for 2024-25 campaign. No player in their right mind will want to come here as a makeweight, either.

Who is this mythical 'We' that is referred to here? The club? Waggot? The 'snivelling thunder cunts' (sic)? What is patently obvious to anyone with an ounce of awareness, whatever monies have been / are being generated by player sales aren't coming back into the club. End of. For the hard of hearing, it doesn't matter what the number is, because any monies received are not being made available for JE, JDT, the Gurning Chump, next gullible chimp or anyone else to spend on p l a y e r s....

It doesn't matter a fig what players are sold for, as the actual evidence is that NONE of any sale proceeds is reinvested in replacements capable of taking the club forward. Instead the headline figure, whatever it happens to be, just gets trousered quietly somewhere else, with mutterings about 'contribution to running costs' and 'the search goes on' or 'players are coming through...' It all points to the systematic and deliberate downgrading of the club, in a pathetic but inevitable slide towards relative oblivion, overseen by a corrupt and complicit chair whose incompetence and compliance with the lines fed from upstairs is simply a convenient cover for the attack on our club. By the owners - as contemptible and disinterested bunch of wassocks as have ever been associated with a professional football club. Forget how much Sammie Szmodics leaves us for - it is irrelevant. What is relevant is the fact that he will leave, and will not be replaced with anyone at a similar level or potential. The transfer fee is just window dressing - candyfloss for the gibbering fools who think a big number has anything to do with the club going forward. People... we aren't 'going forward'. If you disagree, do call me out - but you'd better have some rather solid evidence first, otherwise I'll just keep pointing to the FACTS. GRIM REAPER VENKYS OUT!

Nope. It is none signed, but we are in the middle of further none-signings from club believeitwhenIseeit-stikas.

We don't even look good enough to achieve relegation on this showing 😞 What a shower. Bring on the new season. Let's get it over with.

I think he will remain stuck on the teat until the day someone cuts off the flow of milk. He has no incentive to do otherwise, as I mean, who is going to employ the buffoon after this gig?

If we are self-funding it can only be a matter of time before the club goes under, because in that scenario we are not a going concern. Worse still, self-funding means there would probably be an exodus of players who see the writing on the wall (well, at least the ones who can read) and are well enough connected to blag a switch to a rival for a buttons fee and a slice of humble pie. I'll believe it when it actually becomes a reality - still all speculation, hot air and piss from folk who, like the rest of us, are in the dark about the reality. Up-side? Well, the Steven Waggott can't last long as the biggest number on the P&L I would guess. FWAGGIT OUT! FWENKIES OUT! FANS OUT!

Let's just hope the Modi government gives them a proper kicking, that they wake up and smell the onions, and slink off back to their odious pursuit of mass slaughter of fowl beasts. What would happen to the club if they were just to relinquish ownership? What wouldn't happen to the club in that scenario? (not going full Cartesian logic on these buggers just yet).

I'll do it for that.

It is all hot air and piss, until players actually come in. Until then, there can be no planning for the new campaign except on the basis that we wee with the willy we have already got. Names from the turgid lips of the gossip mongers and faux ITK are hot air, and the only thing that is worth paying any attention to is the sound of the pen scrawling a signature on a playing contract and the slight whoosh as an incoming recruit raises their new shirt for the obligatory 'there was only one club in my mind' photoshoot. Even the sound of the door banging on the arse of departing players isn't worth a backwards glance, as it is simply a signal that our strength in depth is being undermined and diminishing at our peril. I think that's fair enough.

When was the Caulker fiasco?

Budgets are one thing. Funds to spend according to budget are quite another. If the Chicken Chokers become prohibited from spending their pocket money on their overseas chattels, we can safely presume the club would be considered to be not a going concern under its current financial profile. Talk is cheap. Actions always speak louder than words. I've asked a few times what has actually happened to the income generated by recent player sales, but nobody really knows, other than those who handle the club's income, draw up the contracts and administer the funds once deposited. Football finances have always been a messy minefield. Rovers is just a bit messier than most, though somewhat obscured by Mr Lugubrious himself at the helm, and a complete lack of transparency in any of the formal reporting mechanisms available for public scrutiny. We will never have the inside track, and perhaps we never should. But we do have the right to be treated as significant stakeholders in the affairs of Blackburn Rovers Football Club, something we have been robbed of by the shameless and shameful approach adopted by the weirdos from Pune, whose handling of matters from their first approach to this very second has been nothing short of disgraceful - by any normal standards, even in the shithole that is football finance.

To be fair, he probably just farted the same old guff that normally emanates from his inane chops.. Nixon spouts, nobody with an ounce of self respect gives a monkeys
