Why ? Is he on the shortlist ? I thought he was dead.

And Hedges. Senior player ? Deary me.

My view ? Don’t attend. Why be a human shield for the bastards ?

You only have to look at their recent demeanour. Too many players feeling sorry for themselves.

Just when you think you’ve seen it all at modern day Blackburn Rovers you get this charade today. Words fail me to be honest. Nobody comes out of that meeting with any credit. There should have been a real “ clear the air “ meeting weeks ago when things started to go tits up. Management and players. No holds barred, every player expected to get what their problems are off their chest. Nobody gets to keep sctum. Act like men and speak your mind. A dark day in the history of this club.

If they do that’s where they’re going wrong.

He’s down for an assist in that score sheet.

“ Where were you when we were top of the league ? “ whilst slagging off the guy who was the manager of the team at that time. Clueless.

He’s got to be knocking on the door of the first team.

Looks like somebody trying to climb up a pile of chicken shit - very apt.

What is the attitude of our local MP’s ? There’s a general election in the offing ? Maybe they could be galvanised into some action. As a side note, there’s a by election in my constituency, Rochdale, and the candidates were out in force at the football match on Saturday and the Rugby League match on Sunday. One of the candidates is a Dingles season ticket holder, allegedly, but he still rocked up to the ‘Dale on Saturday. It shows politicians are aware that football fans are also voters. Could we crowd fund a “ Venkies Out “ candidate in Blackburn in the forth coming general election ?

I also follow a local rugby league team for my sins. Many years ago we were going through a really bad spell. After one particular game I’d had enough. I was in kicking the cat mode. It was really affecting me. So I said to my pal “ Don’t bother picking me up on Sunday Stan, I’m not going anymore. “ Of course my pal still came around on Sunday but I stood firm. I said “ Stan, I’m done !” So he says “ OK, why don’t we go and watch Oldham v Leigh then or we could go and watch Swinton v Saints ? “ So we agreed to do that - pick a game and go as neutrals. We lasted about a month. It was like kissing your sister or eating a toffee with the wrapper still on. That was me done for years, Stan still went but I was finished with the club. Then the club moved grounds to a five minute walk from where I lived. One Sunday afternoon, completely out of the blue, I decided to go again. That was it, I was hooked again. That was it and 35 years later I’m still hooked. We got battered yesterday but I’ll be there for the next home game.

My experience is that it’s ten times harder to get people to return than it was to attract them in the first place. Once people walk away they tend to stay away. In other news - Charlton are near to signing Nathan Jones as their new manager. One to scratch off our potential replacement list.

What is the point of insisting somebody stays when they’ve made it clear they’d rather not be at Ewood anymore ? It’s just madness !
