Venky’s (& Suhail) Out Protest Ideas
Tomphil2 replied to DuffsLeftPeg's topic in Blackburn Rovers Fans Messageboard
The only plan here is wing it year by year and hope to have a squad to stay in the Championship. A loose plan by some of them is a rebuild every 2 or 3 years after selling what they can to pay down the running cost debt then grow another lot to sell. In between the void between Blackburn and India some continue to do very nicely indeed from the wing it/loose plan blueprint. No wonder they aren't arsed about wins or league position. -

The real question is how long will it take to conceded two tomorrow ? First 5 ?, First 10 ? If we can get past 20 mins without conceded one we are in with a chance. -

Why is he coming out with that crap anyway ? We haven't spent big money on a first team ready player since the signing of Rhodes 13 years ago so nobody remotely expects that. Clown. -
The priority here is to put wages and bonuses in certain pockets, guarantee and safeguard that first and foremost then the rest can follow.

Don't think it's far off a sell out to be fair and anything over 700 is another sterling effort. -
Valérien Ismaël: Blackburn Rovers Head Coach
Tomphil2 replied to DE.'s topic in Blackburn Rovers Fans Messageboard
They never ever get it right i mean go back a few years and look at the combined 12 million they spent on Gallagher and Brereton. What could a good board of directors or DoF have done with that money ? The likes of Warnock got teams promoted on less and this lot got the square root of about 2 mill back from that and not even an appearance in the play offs. God knows how many millions went to Gallagher in wages also yet these complete clowns are still running the show. -
Valérien Ismaël: Blackburn Rovers Head Coach
Tomphil2 replied to DE.'s topic in Blackburn Rovers Fans Messageboard
He's a WUM he has massive form for it down the years with Rovers the Pears thing he put out there just at a time he was beginning to get some grief again after performing quite well. The guy is and always has been an agents stooge. -

It's already been twisted by Waggot who offered the opinion it was all before my time but there's always this under current that surfaces whenever we have a bad run ! So for me the points WHY we are unhappy needs constantly pushing and that narrative needs writing to head off the 'owners have invested 2/300 million, 20 million a season to keep us going you'd be out of business without them look at Bury look at Bury' Sick of hearing that crap and he and the rest should never ever get away with writing their own narrative. Forget the recent past even there's enough in the last few years to piss off virtually every remaining fan and the catastrophic fall off this season is mostly down to low/poor reinvestment and another good coach liked by fans and worshipped by most of the squad has left due to issues with the people in the background. That is the narrative that needs pushing imo. -
Only time he'll get any appreciation on here is when he is long gone. Being fair to the constant critics replacing him with a budget wouldn't be that hard - calibre of recruitment staff notwithstanding - but replacing him for the cost of a tea bag with a cheap import, academy graduate, piss weak loanee most certainly will not.

If/when the worst comes to the worst do we think for one minute they'd then decide the time was right ? Would they #### they'd raise prices again probably 'we've only got 9k fans so lets have every penny we can from them, we'll not sell 10k even if we halve them'. That bullshit position was taken by them years ago.

Relegation - Audit - reset - target Premier League = Fail Journey, slow build, target promotion = Fail Project, restructure staff & style, target play offs = Fail Avoid relegation, new solid identity on and off pitch, no budget, target play offs = Fail Complete summer rebuild of entire squad by head coach and HoF with zero pedigree of that between them on a 2 million budget =.............. -

Not losing until the end of the season now the play offs are off limits and we have a coach nobody wants would be such a classic Rovers thing to do. -

I'm assuming it's because he's pitched himself cheaper than anyone for a long time however don't be surprised if it isn't that but instead these collection of idiots thinking soley of compensation from another club if he did well. They've got a taste for it now. -

Consider Sheff Weds sold 4 thousand tickets and there was less in the Blackburn end than the DE. Season tickets are always counted in the attendance whether there or not, always have been. -

No way those home turnstiles clicked more than 7 thousand times tonight, no way. Absolutely looking at 9-10 thousand home gates at times next season right back to 1990 levels unless something drastic changes. Their reaction ? Probably sell someone to cover the expected shortfall. -

Pleased for the players their graft in the second half deserved the result but they as much as anybody else deserved the half time rocket from the fans after that first half. Not sure it was anything other than them trying to save themselves from a barracking that made them finally step up. -

Read somewhere recently a comment saying Greg Broughton was going to expose the nonsense behind the scenes but was sacked and gagged before he did. Anyone shed any light on it ? -
We don't miss him because he was never on the pitch however he's is clearly another who was messed about behind the scenes. No doubt by the lord of penny pinching lurking in the shadows. One begins to wonder if he's on commission of some sort. Problem is with this kind of thing despite getting a high earner netzero contributor off the books the way you do it can bite your ass further down the line. Siggy is at another big club now with good players and he's a regular international so chances are at some point a player we are trying to sign asks him about Rovers. 'Good club but run by arseholes, steer clear' might be the response.

If there is still such a thing as a third party at Ewood then iv'e long thought this fella could be it or representing it. Then again he's just most probably the owners stooge who ended up running the show from the background post Singh and terrified of exposure because of accountability. He has to take it now though the cat is out of the bag but there's no way this fella is saying to the owners i think it's best you consider letting the club go. -
