I was really looking forward to seeing this kit and I'm really underwhelmed. Last season's shirt is miles better. I might be tempted if they somehow pull a rabbit out of the hat for a one-off shirt like they did in 2000, but I ain't buying this one. Port Vale are also celebrating 150 years. A small but proud club, this is their anniversary shirt. Much better than ours.

Does it really matter who the next CEO is? Will it change anything in the long run? I'm not sure it will. We should be focusing on pressuring the owners to remove Pasha and then announce that the club is for sale.

I think the next step to that will be to get Pasha on his bike because while we don't know for sure, it seems very likely that he is the one keeping us from letting them know our views and is the one giving his version of events as opposed to everyone else's. Maybe they think we've forgiven them and think they're great for putting bare minimum in, they might not realise how much we want them to sell

People will be in for the job, no question. From the outside it's a prestigious, high paying role. Everyone thinks they can be the one to turn things round. Once they get in post and are hamstrung at every turn is where the problems will start (again). Same as with the last two head coaches.

There will be no shortage of takers for the new post because it's a high profile, high paying job. I hope they know what they're letting themselves in for when they start though because the club is a basket case. Ewood is going to end up a bear pit this season for anyone in the board room imo. Their name is just gonna end up added on to chants and banners about the owners, Pasha, et al

Just addressing the couple of people responding to my post above to iterate that I am also very pleased he has gone, my wildest dream is that he is the first domino in a chain that somehow results in Venkys selling the club in the next 12 months. Like others have also mentioned however, I'm a little worried about who is left on charge right now and who might be appointed. I hope they don't think him going will be some kind of sacrifice to appease us, coz it won't!

Hopefully Mr Pasha is next. I wonder what has triggered this. Just speculation, but I wonder whether SW was against what has happened with Rovers WFC and this has cause a significant rift, or a straw that broke camel's back? Maybe we'll never know. Maybe he'll be on a podcast with big Sam next week telling all 😄

Some of our fans defending this decision on social media are thick beyond comprehension. They are an absolute dream for the owners and directors.

Thanks Glen, you are one source online I do trust 👍👍

Sad that after 15 years of Venkys the only thing I can be positive about is who might be designing a football kit, but the Macron kits have been good quality and nice designs.

There has been a few strange rumours about the club and being leaked on to social media in the last couple of months e.g. Rooney coming in for Ismael. I'm getting very sceptical as a result. I wonder whether they are putting certain untrue stuff out to see who is leaking, or maybe to try and divide supporters, cause confusion and undermine the reliability of protestors. E.g. "you all accused us of doing X, this was never happening and we don't know where this baseless rumour came from". People need to be so careful with sticking to facts. There is always so much rubbish on social media. It almost goes without saying that we all hope this isn't true, we don't want longstanding servants who have given decades for this club to be sacked. If it is, more fuel on the fire.

Subscribed through Spotify recently and listened to this walking the dog yesterday, great episode. Keel up the good work 👍👍

I don't get why some people (here and elsewhere) don't think we should have a viable womens' team unless it generates revenue. The mens' team play in a division where a large number of the clubs, including ours, lose tens of millions per year.

Some of the Womens' players are speaking out on X/Twitter about how badly and unprofessionally the feel their side has been run for the last few years. It is not a good look for the club and I have to feel sorry for the players. https://x.com/Kayleigh_Mcx/status/1922274911042572769?t=5bDIqNkz_2hnPllet_w2yQ&s=19

They should probably scrap our academy then by that logic as no one goes to watch that either. I've been several times to watch the Womens' side, at Ewood and at Leyland in the last couple of years. Not that it makes any difference as to whether the club should fund them or not. Maybe more people would go and watch the Womens' side if it wasn't being run like a Sunday league team with the players getting the equivalent of minimum wage in the second tier of WSL and being told the team is gonna fold over WhatsApp. That team has been on a hiding to nothing the last two seasons and seems to have stayed up by miracle this season with a tiny budget. Our owners are billionaires by the way.
