Back to the top. Now Rovers look to have assured their Premiership place for next year have any of the 'will not renew' brigade changed their minds? I think it should be of great concern to everybody connected with the club that we make sure ticket sales do not fall too much as this will have a massive detrimental effect on the whole club next season I fear. The club must start to 'self finance' and that's up to the good folk of Blackburn. Wolves have now sold 19,000+ tickets for Div 1......... SUPPORT YOUR CLUB!!

'Souness is the man to keep this club moving up. His resignation would be a disaster for Rovers.' Very true,the fella has shown he has a passion for Rovers.

Should nicely boost season ticket sales and Worldwide media interest for them. What do rovers have lined up?? .............................

I'll be going to the rounds of the Champion's League until such times as he's gone. Strange comment indeed,bit of the 'Bhoy' coming out of the closet Jan?

To be honest AS I think many people including myself on here had doubt's coming to the surface after last Saturday's debacle against Leed's,hardened supporter's were becoming angry and disillusioned.....We simply couldn't continue the way we were, defeat after bloody demoralising home defeat. Personally I am SO happy to say that over the last 7 days those doubt's have been erased and we have clearly seen that the players do care about the club and fan's..they do have some pride and fight about 'em . So it's Souness to stay for me but please Greame if your reading this STOP FALLING OUT WITH PLAYER'S,IT DOES NEITHER YOU, THE PLAYER'S OR OUR CLUB ANY GOOD FELLA!!.

Is that you again Gav No, Gav only has eyes for Mark Atkins! He's always been a bit of a 'fruit' has our GAV!!! Thanks for that Alan and cheers Tim,your efforts for Rover's between the sticks will never be forgotten...the V.E. day game and your saves against the Magpies will always be revered in Blackburn.

Any quotes from our leader Souness tonight?

Hughes has a desire and a passion to succeed,a motivator, these quality's endeared him to all the fans at Ewood when he wore the blue 'n' white...I'm coming to the conclusion that Souey has lost it on all fronts. Its a real sad situation, my mind keeps having flashbacks to our promotion at Deepdale and the magic day at Cardiff,so sad for it to come to this.

Mark Hughes eh blue phil?.....mmmmmmmm could do a lot worse me thinks.

No doubt their tickets are more expensive too.

'Kennysuperbuyer- just look at the name for crying out loud! Why would a Rovers fan chose a name to denigrate our greatest achievement? That's the kind of thing a 'Dingle' would do to have a dig at 'moneybag Rovers'. 'There have been topics on a Dingle site (I know i shouldn't read it but I do and USABlue posts on there to wind them up at times) about the Burnley fan posing as a Rovers fan to 'stir things up'. Unfortunately KSB was too unsubtle and not intelligent enough to do it properly. A constant tedious diatribe against Souness was hardly going to work.... ' Two bob Burnley fan hiding behind a Rovers fans personna:pathetic and gutless....should have expected nothing more really.Been suspicious about the said above for a long time Time to come out the closet Kenny lad.................................

Cant see 'owt to laugh about really..is a bloody disgrace,football is setting itself up for one big fall.

'Rather surprisingly he also said he expected sales to remain the same or even increase.' Brace yourself John!! The only way Rovers will at best hold onto season ticket holders is to freeze the prices...even this would be a big gamble that could easily backfire.

Gordon Taylor says its 'MORAL BLACKMAIL' is he right? Leeds debt now stands at 93 million,there's no way they can get out of this mess surely....... http://www.football365.com/All_News/Breaking_News/story_97956.shtml

Sobering thoughts indeed

Shame we are seemingly led to believe our club cant afford a pot to @#/? in at the moment...never mind make a bid for Alan Smith!! **sigh**

Wishful thinking it will remain Jim. Viduka?

'semi-detatched and dispondent.' Exactly how he came across Clive.

My thought's echoed.Souness came across as rather negative so say the least,someone who had basically lost interest. Souness has always(quite fairly) stated that since his heart problems etc and the birth of his son,football has taken a backseat in priority to his family and that he would only remain involved in football as long as he was enjoying himself. Mmmmmmmmmm.........

I would not sack him Shaddy because their is nobody better available at present BUT....... How is a manager like Sam Allerdyce (who has not had anywhere near the financial backing Souness has recieved and spent) able to seemingly motivate a team full of nothing more than foreign mercenaries yet our Greame still does not appear to know who his best side is yet with half a season gone, let alone motivate HIS team who are underperforming. The rest of the season will be a test of just how good a manager Souness REALLY is and make no mistake...the good times are over.

Look at the financial backing Souness has recieved since tacking over the reins at Ewood,we are talking a figure surely approaching 30 MILLION and possibly more.

Makes you realise how bloody lucky we are to have had Jack Walker invest into his home town club like he did and also to have such responsible and level headed people as John Williams running the club at present. Leeds are trying to court an Arab Sheikh to pull them out of the sh1te by all accounts..... http://news.bbc.co.uk/sport1....783.stm

Even the players look sick and tired of all the media hype and attention now.Ickle Jonny and actress girfriend Diana Stewart have been touted as the 'natural successors' to the Beckham clowns..what a f'kin joke. An excellent National sporting victory but please for christ's sake leave it at that eh. Alank... 'Sir Woodward,I like the sound of that' Pass me the sick bucket please!!!!!!

Its the players responsibility to get us out of sh1t street..they are not performing to the best of their abilities,Souness can talk tactics and formations all he wants but the buck stops with the players attitude and effort over 90 mins. Get down to Ewood against Everton and lets as supporter give everthing we can to carry our team through this mess...stand up and be counted(bloody players too!)

The fickleness,reactionary and apparent sheer stupidity of people never ceases to amaze. 3 seasons of continuous improvement under Souness on and off the field which has seen promotion,a glorious first league cup win,two seasons of European football. Now,only some 10 games into the 03/04 season and after an indifferent start where new players are still clearly finding their feet and low and behold people are calling for Souness to be sacked.... I just pray and hope the people employed at nuclear missile launch sites have more rational thought processes and are less prone to kneejerk reactions than some of you lot have shown FFS!!!!!!! (swallows hard).
