People who spend hours on an obscure message board obsessing about the minutiae of a football club telling others who spend loads of time on their football club to get a life.

Sliding doors and all that but I have always wondered what would have happened if Sven hadn’t weaselled out of his agreement with Jack

No as it’s a rearranged Saturday game, not an original midweek it won’t be on the red button.

Speaking to a mate of mine about it post the game. Me and him have always had very similar views on everything Rovers. But not this. It was the greatest hits of ‘who’d buy us?’, ‘look at the gates’, ‘£20million’, ‘JDT has led us to this’, ‘let’s just give this new guy a chance to turn it round’ Any chance of mass protests, if there was ever any chance, has now gone with that cannily timed manager change.

Blackburn Rovers would cease to exist without Venky’s. Nice one Atko 🤦‍♂️ (Cheers for the rebuttal though, Herby).

Chaddy himself admits he doesn’t go to many away games these days. So I think our Merce has fallen into one of the Chadster’s brfcs rabbit holes.

Go back to the LT please, Rich.

A £10million bid, surely? 👀

Blackburn Rovers is a major part of my life, obviously this current collection of journeymen in the side aren’t. Players come and go, we are the constant, we are the club.

I thought you knew all the managers and players across football?

Don’t disagree, my point was that JDT losing football would be tolerated more than Eustace’s. Not the case.

Take it he wears a cap to protect the weave?

Starting with Stoke then Birmingham we are now in a run of Saturday/Tuesday weeks until mid March. Big test for this squad.

JDT’s football wasn’t very tolerated by a lot of fans ‘stupid football’, ‘all this passing round the back’, ‘no plan b’.

Losing is losing, I didn’t feel any of those defeats were ‘tempered’ because we played some ‘nice’ football in patches, though not sure of how much ‘nice’ football there even was from Christmas onwards.

People make mistakes Chaddy, it doesn’t matter.

Not true that we ‘rarely get something there’, they haven’t beat us at Deepdale since 2019.

Exactly, so there are good managers out there. So who knows if this guy is ‘the best’ choice.

I’ve no idea Chaddy I don't work in the game, just like you. I don’t recall JDT being on your shortlist…

How do you know he’s the best appointment we could’ve got?

*Bastards plural. Shelfy Shaw was part of that portmanteau.

Not sure we even had a CEO between Shagnew and this plonker… maybe they should go back to that setup.

We will probably play with a bit more tempo (at least initially), Saturday afternoon , derby atmosphere etc. So you never know if we get an early goal, if they do, well, it’ll be a long afternoon.

They certainly know all about Swag now, though I’d wager plenty only had a vague idea who he was before JDT arrived. Suhail is interesting, I heard his name being mentioned around me last week for the first time ever - once again, nice one JDT, like cockroaches scurrying when the lights are switched on…

Think our Paul had sunk a few, always the worry with Friday night posts…
