Brum appoint Rowett until the end of the season. That probably sees them safe. Sad to see Mowbray out of the game with what is likely to be a serious illness. Hope he gets well soon.
Sheff W, Hudds, Stoke, QPR, Plymouth and us are all more likely to go down now than Brum.
Personally, I think we will go down with Huddersfield or Plymouth. If Plymouth change their manager then they will probably stay up. Our inability to win a game will see us relegated.
Maybe warnock to Plymouth or Huddersfield?

That's six more draws then because we aren't winning are we?
Two wins in twenty now. If we don't win between now and the end of the season but somehow manage to stay up, then Sammie leaves, well start next season on a real low

What's the difference financially between selling now and selling if we get promoted. Given that the debts would have to be written off.
These people must be so dense, we basically have no chance of getting promoted while they are here.
It's just crackers. And if we ever did make it to the prem, they'd change their mind and decide to stay.
Are they expecting to win the court case then, because there's no way wed get promoted without winning that

I've already called it they are gradually and tactically withdrawing.
All blame will go onto the Indian govt when we go down skint and having sold everyone and everything, this season or next. Then a few years in league 1 'poor old Blackburn the owners want to fund the club to the Prem but aren't allowed' then we get forgotten about.
Sit in the corner of their portfolio now costing less than 10 mill a year including levies, fixed assets off the books then punted to one of Balaji's son's mates in 2028.
Indian govt is the new FFP.
I think it's only fat Bazza who wants to keep us, Madame I'm sure would be happy to be rid of us, but only if there's no comebacks.
Then they can happily fuck off and nawse up their next misbegotten vanity project

Notwithstanding the court's decision/ruling in August, there will probably be enough available money from Wharton's sale, Raya's move to Arsenal (and our cut of that) and the sale of SS, and Carter, Travis etc, if need be, to get Rovers through the next 16 months.
Sadly, I think our owners and CEO will be unchanged 12 months down the line from now. IMO, we are a club hopelessly drifting along in a sea of shyte, and, at some point, the contamination will become too severe and that will be the end of Rovers.
Maybe that's the game plan, run us into the ground, liquidate the club and bury the paper trail

Ok well as long as you know we'll stay up, why didn't you say?
We'll see how far your faith has carried us come the end of the season.
It's like the witnesses knocking on your door. Best off hiding in your kitchen.
Eustace is the Messiah! Behold... The point against Plymouth!

The stupid thing is, you don't NEED pace to be a decent centre half, obviously it helps like. You adjust your game accordingly and your manager doesn't try and play high. He did, it cost us multiple times, he didn't adjust and it ultimately led to a red card. Absolute basics done wrong.
Absolutely. McFadzean had barely played before coming to us, now he's getting selected every game, he's late thirties, and expected to hold a high line.
I mean it's just asking for trouble. In fact that should be on the club badge now.
Blackburn rovers. Club motto-asking for trouble

Seems a fair few of the team are on the piss in Manchester, including some who claim to be injured. We're royally having the piss taken our of us
Can you imagine souness standing that? Fuck me, he'd hit the roof and go straight off it. No wonder we're in the shit.
It's the anyone left at the club who cares any more?
What a mess.

Not quite sure how that happened, but I'm happy to leave it untouched. Much like the vol-o-vents

Looking fairly grim now.
Is that two wins in nineteen? Four games off half a season.
Szmodics apart, these players are pathetic. Good job for them they're at a Club where "There's no pressure on results".
Can you honestly see them now turning the form book upside down and going on a run that saves us? Doesn't seem too likely

I said before Millwall I felt we needed at least four points from them and Plymouth. We got two. Hard to see us getting another win this season, and it feels like we'll need a couple of surprise wins now to stay up - either that or two teams below us (Rotherham are already gone) go on runs as bad as us. Eustace hasn't had any kind of new manager bounce which obviously isn't a good sign.
Well yeah, what is it now, two wins from nineteen, or is it twenty?
Feels like we're playing as beaten men. Millwall and Plymouth, those two were our most winnable games of the run in.
The manager is uninspired, the players deflated, short of confidence, with no guts for the fight in most cases. Our form has gone off a cliff and we've forgotten how to win.
We've not been in the bottom three all season. When we had a ten pint buffet I said I couldn't see us going down this year. But my god we're sitting ducks for those below us. And as soon as we drop into the bottom three, it's game over

As in, heads Gallagher is useless, tails he's overpaid and useless?
Come on
I've always thought Gallagher is scared to score. It's only when things are in his favour, eg Wrexham, that he looks like a striker. He's an absolute Nelly

Didn't Beamo play for Plymouth too?
Beeeeeereeeeeeeeeeeamoooo!
Nope, he didn't. Maybe I'm getting mixed up with Jim furnell for some reason

Bloke behind me on Tuesday when the "Venkys out!" chants started when Millwall scored - "This has got nothing to do with Venkys".
This is a guy who looks like he's a business man or manager, so presumably has a modicum of intelligence.
Soon, the only people left in the ground (other than away fans) will be the Stockholm Syndrome mob.
I guess people will believe what makes them comfortable. This is why I've seen otherwise intelligent people believe all sorts of conspiracy nonsense. It's an emotional thing, that bypasses critical reasoning.
I mean the very idea that for the last thirteen years vultures have been picking the meat off our bones and we're on the verge of a third relegation, but it's nothing to do with venkys , is obviously nonsense

Despair is the right word. Despair is anger with nowhere to go. Until there's a groundswell of support for taking action, then nothing will change. The n supporters have to be united. Unfortunately, and incredibly, there's are so fans who think venkys are a good thing.
It's either relegation or admin or the Indian court or fans disrupting games that's going to change it. Why they want to keep us is a mystery. A mate recently described them as useless fuckwits.
But yeah, I'm in despair with it all. The lowest I've ever been with rovers. The thought that they'll never go absolutely haunts me. It's like something out of Saw

They'd paid it down though selling Bentley i think it was around 10 mill when the club was sold plus there was another 3 million loan from the Walker Trust.
Yeah, you may well be right there.
Certainly we seem to agree that the club was valued at £23m and not £43m as it says in article

Yeah, but why, Jesus Mary and Joseph, WHHHHHHHYYYYYYYYYYYYYYYY Christ on a Friday jumping a shark on a steampunk jetski shouting aii aiii yippee, why do they refuse to sell?

Btw, if the club was valued at £23m when we were in the prem, Jesus, What's the value now?
£1?

I thought it was 23 mill, 10 mill for immediate debt then 10 mill to be injected straight away to cover running costs ?
Not sure about that.
From what I remember under the trust, our o/d with Barclays was running at a steady twenty mill

From the athletic article
"The takeover initially cost Venky’s around £43million for the equity plus a further £20million paid to clear debts. Since then they have pumped in a total of around £200million, most of which they know they will never recoup."
I thought it was 43 total, twenty three for the equity?
