v Millwall (h) - 18/4/2025
Tomphil2 replied to philipl's topic in Blackburn Rovers Fans Messageboard
A skint club should never ever be risking 20/30 thousand pounds a week on someone like him that's the player sales money they are throwing down the pan. Every signing is a gamble but some are way more than others and have huge red flags already visible so i assume it was a panic signing to try and keep Eustace happy. These are the same CEO & COO who oversaw the signing of Poveda from Leeds costing 20 grand a week wage contribution and failed to insert a clause if he was injured here. So he went back to Leeds for most of his loan to receive treatment and those clowns had to keep paying 20k a week, then Waggot took over Flecks Sheff U contract and paid him till July for nothing. They are not fit for purpose. -

The balance of probabilities always pointed to Dennis being a flop despite obvious ability just the same as it pointed to Fleck and Ennis turning out to be duds. In the stat driven world of football WHY do these morons keep signing players of that ilk and how much has been spaffed on 2 of those in wages without return ? A million quid plus agents fees at least for absolutely nothing yet this fat director and his sidekick remain in office and are about to see more good players of value leave for nothing. -
Well it should be met with widespread outrage and a demand for the the truth but knowing our lot it would fly over the heads of most.

Aye for someone who's quite lightweight it's amazing how many times it's him that gets penalised in tackles etc but he's also quite cute at winning free kicks himself at times. Maybe that goes against him a bit with some refs. -
Yep the Rovers fanbase speaks with its pocket, always has and always will and it's something John Williams took a while to understand but once he did his methods worked. These lot have never got to grips with that.

Venky’s (& Suhail) Out Protest Ideas

Atmosphere yesterday very much came across as end of season nothing to play for which is ironic that the players turned in a good performance with probably the least backing of the season. -
Valérien Ismaël: Blackburn Rovers Head Coach

He came across as a sound bloke who'd rather please fans than the suits upstairs. -

Same here iv'e not been his biggest fan in terms of his pound for pound contribution here but i had to compliment him today he played like he should and put a shift in. -
Games like today remind you what it's all about and if only they'd turned up at Derby things might look a little different now.

Watched it back and he was hugging and high 5'ing the players before a rather sheepish clap to the fans but to be fair there was plenty interaction with the players. He still to me looks really uncomfortable here though. -

Classic Rovers turning in one of the seasons best performances when the beach is calling. Good afternoons entertainment helped by the fact Millwall came to have a go. The number of empty ST seats today in what was a respectable crowd total figure wise should act as a huge red flag to those upstairs. It won't though they'll just now be wondering how many offer they can muster up for Brittain and Tronstad. -
When and how did they square off the 8 million loan Suhail was banging on about ?

Yes set off now or avoid going that way if possible it's a complete nightmare. -
Valérien Ismaël: Blackburn Rovers Head Coach
Tomphil2 replied to DE.'s topic in Blackburn Rovers Fans Messageboard
He is to football finance expertise what Jim Dale is to climate predictions. -
Outside of a few it's the mildest fanbase in England i'm afraid, almost resigned to living in a permanent void as punishment for the previous good times.

Valérien Ismaël: Blackburn Rovers Head Coach
Tomphil2 replied to DE.'s topic in Blackburn Rovers Fans Messageboard
Considering he's a know all gobshite of the highest order i think he's always seemed reasonably fair towards Rovers but as mentioned he always tends to look at things from an ownership point of view. Yet another not possessing all the facts and blinded by the 20 mill a season to keep a small town club going narrative. If these lazy journos did some due diligence on anything outside of the top 6 they might learn something worth debating. -
If they lose this guy there should be uproar.
-
We are still in the dark as to what they actually do and who pays them. Other than ticking a couple of boxes to follow UK company law that is and removing the need for any actual real hands on directors,
-
What would be call a serious low level that would give them very little excuse to manipulate it ? Would have to be 5k or below imo as anything else will be batted off as cost of living/tv schedules, bad vibes from dissenters, some which no doubt play a part but not to any great level. Personally i still think they'll get to 6.5k which is serious but not enough for the panto villains to be held accountable in a big Barry cattle prod kangeroo court.

Dolan out Dilan back in, bookmark it. Bean counters will love that and Ismael will - be told - to embrace it.

If he'd any intention of staying he'd have signed an extension long before now the writing has been on the wall for 18 months. If this lot had any intention of keeping him they'd have tied him down way before now so just another in a long line of Waghail failures who'll leave for shirt buttons compen. As inconsistent as he is he can never be accused of ducking the graft on the pitch so good luck to him i expect he'll be having a stormer against us next season for a Boro or WBA.

As someone pointed out on another platform we just have a business box ticking board of directors not a football one or club one and certainly not a Blackburn one. Discounting the non exec faker.... A COO from Venkys and possibly an agency rep. A CEO 2 ownership finance directors probably both India based. It's the most non football, non Blackburn board you could imagine, more akin to one at a minor supermarket chain.
-
Any good ambitious upwardly managing board of directors would be saying to the supposedly now un compromised and wealthy ownership that now is the perfect time to reinvest in quality for next season and future sales. Would also help ST sales which should be held at current prices throughout summer !

The people at this end an in between have created a situation where they've told them we are ok for now we don't need any money. This will reflect in their standing in India and probably in their pay packets, bonuses and job security. Meanwhile another promotion tilt is ruined, another highly regarded head coach has left and at some point in the near future the squad will suffer further weakening. Do they give a #### ? No.
