Could Adam Warton could be persuaded to wear a Venky's out t-shirt under his jersey? I guess there's rules against it? Surely he hasn't signed an NDA too?

The iPlayer stream could be interesting. As much as I enjoy the commentary, they are so overly positive at times. Must be difficult for them, I guess it's in their contracts that they aren't allowed to speak badly of the scum that run the club.

Does @Ste B still visit these forums? Wasn't he quite handy with his computer? 😉 I imagine it'd have to be an inside job, Rovers probably have an old PC hooked up to it. Maybe a gofundme could be started to raise some Bitcoin to pay someone to do it?

Don't read the comments section, if you've any sanity left, it will drive you over the edge. It's like prodding a painful tooth or bruise; I can't help myself, but have a read now and then. I imagine the same idiots are bigging up Trump and Musk on Twitter(also a cesspit of fucking idiots these days). Thank goodness for this forum, we do disagree, very often, but generally we are in agreement about who is the real enemy and want the best for Rovers.

I'm not claiming to be "ITK" but I think I've stumbled across the new manager job advert! Might be bullshit, but it seems pretty legit to me? Found it in a local curry house... Job Advertisement: Head Coach - Blackburn Rovers Football Club Position: Head Coach Location: Blackburn, Lancashire, England Club: Blackburn Rovers Football Club About Us: Blackburn Rovers Football Club, with a rich history and a passionate fanbase, is currently at a pivotal moment. We are seeking an experienced and dedicated head coach to lead our team through an exciting new chapter while navigating the unique challenges presented by our current management structure. Role Overview: As the Head Coach, you will be responsible for: Leading the first team in all competitive fixtures and training sessions. Developing and executing tactical strategies to enhance team performance within very limited resources. Managing player recruitment, development, and welfare, ensuring alignment with club ethos and long-term vision, under stringent financial constraints. Cultivating a positive team culture that resonates with the club’s storied history and dedicated supporters. Key Requirements: Proven Experience: Must have a track record of success in managing teams at a high level, ideally within the Championship or Premier League, with experience in managing under financial constraints. Strategic Mind: Exceptional ability to analyze matches, adapt tactics, and make critical decisions under pressure, particularly with a squad built on loan players and those past their prime. Leadership: Strong leadership qualities with the capability to inspire and motivate players, staff, and fans, while accepting responsibility for outcomes that may not reflect true performance due to external directives. Resilience: Ability to work under challenging conditions without standing up to CEO supremo Steve Waggot and with no direct contact with the owners. Instead, all interactions will be through Suhail Pasha, the only individual at the club with direct owner communication. Operational Constraints: Budget: The successful applicant will work on a shoestring budget, necessitating the sale of any high-value players and replacing them with loan signings or players considered "has-beens". Any promises made about transfer budgets may not be honored, and if you decide to question this, you will be painted as the villain. Performance Goals: Your objective will be to finish just outside the playoff places; under no circumstances should the team be promoted to the Premier League. Accountability: You must be prepared to act as a "yes man" and take the public blame for performance, shielding the neglectful owners from criticism. Transportation: While CEO supremo Steve Waggot has leased an amazing team bus, players might occasionally have to take the train to matches if the bus is leased out for stag dos or similar events. Contractual Issues: There may be significant challenges next season as most of the team's contracts are expiring. If you have any friends or family who can kick a ball, their assistance might come in very handy. Fan Management: It's crucial to communicate to the fans that this isn't 1995 anymore; we no longer have the likes of Chris Sutton and Alan Shearer. The fans need to realise this and should be perfectly content with mid-table obscurity. Football Operations: Rudy Gestede serves as head of football operations despite lacking experience in this role. He is in charge of transfers, meaning you may request players, but he will ultimately decide who joins the club, continuing a recent tradition of employing people who haven't got a clue about running a football club. Transfers could be cancelled at the last minute due to a faulty fax machine, administrative errors, Steve going for a curry, or any other reason. Media and Public Relations: The club has recently repaired divides with local journalist Alan Nixon, who is currently leading a propaganda campaign funded by supremo Steve Waggott. The happy clappers on Twitter, Facebook, and in the Lancashire Evening Telegraph comments section have already lapped it up. What We Offer: Competitive salary commensurate with experience and success, within the club's limited financial framework. An opportunity to leave a lasting legacy at one of England’s historic clubs, under unique circumstances. Support from a professional staff committed to excellence in football operations, albeit with limited resources. Additional Notes: Candidates must demonstrate an understanding of the role's unique challenges, including the strategic direction set by current club management and the indirect relationship with the club's owners. Very Important: Upon acceptance of the position, you will be required to sign a Non-Disclosure Agreement (NDA) to protect our wonderful owners, Supremo Steve Waggot, Suhail Pasha, and Rudy Gestede. How to Apply: Please submit your CV along with a cover letter detailing your coaching philosophy and experience. Applications should be sent to recruitment@blackburnrovers.co.uk by March 15, 2025. Blackburn Rovers Football Club is committed to diversity, equity, and inclusion, and we welcome applications from candidates of all backgrounds. Note: This advertisement reflects the current situation at the club and is subject to change based on club policy or management decisions.

At least they'd be no pissing about at the back, giving us palpitations when Pears gets the ball at his feet. Sam used to infuriate me with his his stubbornness even when things weren't working, but he'd bring some siege mentality and if he was still up for it mentality it could work, though I've doubts about that as he is showing his age in his speech on his podcast. I wouldn't mind Colin Wanker, I know it's fashionable to dislike him, but I love his passion. Imagine if fate meant that we played those bastards in the play off final, he'd get them up for the battle. I imagine he fucking hates the dingles too, who doesn't? Colin Wanker is a blue, he hates Burnley!

If you fancy the job Damien, email Waggot. I believe it's sw4ggot@rovers.co.uk

Are you and California Rover going to be on there with your Venky's hats on?

Will do mate 🙂 if I'm not in a padded cell by then 😞

Sorry, I've ignored social media and the internet all day as I knew what was coming; what is the alleged Travis reaction please?

❤️ Great post. I'm just thankful for my memories. I really want to fuck it off altogether, but I don't think I can. but I wish I could ;-'(

Why would Maggot. Suhail and those cunts get in anyone who could get us promoted? They didn't support the last two managers that had a good chance. They probably thought JE was a good bet at mid table, which is exactly what they want.

What a cunt he is. Wasn't he part of the magnificent Trust thing? Of course it's Eustace's fault not the mighty owners, where would would we be without them?!!!!!

What does that absolute bellend California Rover thing? He's like the king of the happy clappers. I'm so fucking angry. I haven't even read these forums until now, I just couldn't. I just feel so helpless, so lost, so empty.

5 Million for Dolan?? Is that in Turkish Lira?!

I just watched 5 minutes of The Blackburn End podcast on YouTube. OMG, no one gets it. So many happy clappers. Today feels as bad as relegation. FUCK YOU WAGGOT, SUHAIL AND VENKYS, FUCK YOU! What's the point anymore?? I just want to cry :-(

Fuck me Ronaldo used to do that every week and get penalties. 🙄

Pearsy would have made it look a better save that it was, but still palmed it in the centre of the box for a tap in. 🙊

Pity we couldn’t have unveiled it with a better half of football! Maybe the second half will get the blue bars working better 🤞🏻

Where’s the fax machine?

If those selfish Walker spoilt brats hadn’t sold us to those charlatans that could have been us going to Old Trafford and causing an upset. Instead we are celebrating a battling win again Preston Fucking Nob End.

Adam’s just come on as a sub against Manchester United and after a few minutes helped create a goal.

It’s not the 90’s mate, we can’t afford to buy quality players anymore because our attendances aren’t high enough. We should be grateful Venky’s are routing down the back of their presumably hideously patterned sofas for spare change for a few players. /s

Just seen this guy in Samlesbury. Think he’s probably off to Preston though, they like players with a bit of bite.
