£15million for Tyler Morton. Nowt wrong with the price though, ay. I mean, think of the U21 caps…

Ah well. The 175th Anniversary at the Anchor Ground might have a few fireworks set off from the car park.

Classic, Masher.

The FF worked well when it was two sets of people across the table pulling in the same direction. Issues like the price of pies really were the most concerning thing on the day as the likes of John Williams were trusted to get on with the macro stuff. Now both sides aren’t pulling in the same direction and the FF are being expected to pull the regime up on all kinds of strategic stuff it was never intended for when it set up in more simpler times. The FF hasn’t changed, the club has. It’s somehow ended up in this position by default as the last forum standing. Ergo other supporter consultations (I.e the ones they quietly dropped around Covid) need bringing back ASAP, and the FF can go back to its modus operandi, I.e the lower level retail stuff - of course they won’t bring them back as this set up works perfectly fine for the regime.

So if you beat a team in a friendly one week it’s a ‘good win’… get beat the week after in another friendly and you aren’t allowed to say the opposite as you overreacting. Fair enough.

They’ve been filming the first team pissing about, what more do you want?

Obviously actually getting runs consistently isn’t important anymore as Pope and Crawley’s average tell you. Fair enough, but don’t expect to be the world’s top Test side, as either there’s nobody better or they are happy enough if Crawley gets the side off to a strong start every few games but then out for between 0 and 25 the rest of the time.

Still waiting to hear how social media videos with the players and streams of friendlies on YouTube shows any kind of comms improvement/is something to praise a Championship club for?

Of course there are good people working at Rovers (my own brother in law for one, who’s just left by the way as it’s a horrendously run organisation, so he’s got himself a much more stable job where he feels valued). We are talking about the regime executive leadership, obviously.

He’s been here 14 months. Not taken him long to get on board with the complete BS that emanates from this regime.

So social media posts and YouTube streams of friendlies- how is that any different than any other season or any other club at this level for that matter? Just the very basic stuff a Championship club should be doing, it doesn’t even need referring to, is your bar for the people running Blackburn Rovers really that low? (It’s a rhetorical question BTW)

Fair play to you Mike. You tried your damnedest for the betterment of Blackburn Rovers in good faith… that sentence being the exact opposite of what the modus operandi of the regime is.

Only 31, I mean, what’s that in the modern game? Very sad.

Oh, I bet they have.

We know what happens from Christmas, so the season the good starts stop I think it’s pretty obvious what happens next. So yeah, three points please 😬

Off the charts level of arrogance for someone who has achieved what exactly in the game apart from a parachute club promotion?

Thanks, Glen. Obviously I didn’t expect anything else. But how very sad that this is the rabble that swan around wearing the club ties in the name of Blackburn Rovers. Indeed read those minutes from 2009 and weep for what we’ve lost.

Don’t need specifics, @glen9mullan, but what was your general view of the club representatives? Be it demeanour, level of evasiveness, professionalism etc?

No it isn’t. They’ve had a social media team with their players for years. All good fun, but no different than previous seasons… or anywhere else.

58 Tests for Crawley at an average of 31 and no doubt he’ll have played 63 by the end of the Ashes… a fair number of very good cricketers pre this era would’ve loved anything like that kind of chance.

Yeah, didn’t think so.

Whoa hang on, they do provide kits for the first team (no intel on who washes them though - perhaps the captain’s mum and dad?)

Will the club provide the jumpers they’ll need for goalposts or does he have to bring his own?

I have… every couple of months is the same, or more every four/five months these days when the regime can be arsed actually holding a meeting.

Surely one of the players/coaches could’ve coughed up seven quid for one? (Ok, it’s for your car, but just don’t let on) https://www.roverstore.co.uk/giftsaccessories/souvenirs/badges-keyrings-f/4369_blackburn-rovers-car-pennant.html
