They won’t be. 7k to 9k will buy, as always.

Branthwaite was just very raw still, he was only 18. Always looked like could improve as a player. Hirst, well.

To be fair the vast majority of tickets are sold in the day or two before KO. But in reality a month of shit results plus the club inexplicably attempting to put barriers to attending in place, a c6k crowd will possibly now be sub 4k depending on away turn out. Once again 👏 to the CEO and the ‘Head of Consumer’

We only had 12k ST holders in this league when we got promoted in 2000/2001, only five years after being Champions of England, indeed we’ve never had more than 20k ST holders even when riding high in the Premier League. Very different situation than trying to rebuild after 20 years in the doldrums and thousands upon thousands of long lost fans which it will be by the time this lot feck off. The club can and will recover, but let’s be realistic to where a Venky free, but second division, BRFC would actually be.

The club isn’t interested in results or promotion, the CEO has explicitly said so. So having kit in stock or selling more season tickets or getting a sponsor that isn’t down the street, as bread and butter that should be at any club won’t change the fundamental (lack of) vision at present day BRFC which is to ‘develop players’, ‘increase value’ and stay out of League 1.

Numerous football clubs are bought and sold every year. Watford are the latest by the sounds of it. Some will work out, some won’t. But obviously there are ‘buyers out there’, this shower just aren’t interested in selling, and of course the perennial question remains - why?

Cooper took somebody else’s players and he picked them up when bottom of the league. But anyway an absolutely pointless discussion from a Blackburn Rovers point of view.

What did he spend getting Forest promoted?

After this December, ‘not going’ is exactly the decision most will be making.

Between 7k and 9k will be doing, just like every season.

29th November we beat Birmingham to make it 6 wins in 8 and this place was paying homage to the bloke as the second coming. 29th December many of the same folk now want him sacked. Game of opinions and all that but I base mine on more than one shit month when we have a squad that’s been left to get into this state.

No, not remotely. His next job is vital for his career, but as he’s sitting on a massive pay off he’s no need to rush back in. So why the bloody hell would he risk it for this sorry excuse for a football club that doesn’t have a pot to piss in?

He really, really wouldn’t be. Who’s sacking him? GB? Swag? Suhail will get his compo signed off, will he, when they wouldn’t even allow a free transfer centre half this summer due to cost? ‘He’s got a contract hasn’t he?’. 13 years and people still talk like this is a normal club with a normal board and owners.

Cooper?! What planet some of you on. Good god.

No chance. We had all this through TM’s death spirals. They won’t be sacking anyone under contract.

Hard to believe that a lad of 24 who still can’t get a game anywhere outside the academy is not significantly better?

When was the last time anybody was ‘shown the door’ at Blackburn Rovers?

No games at all are on the red button and some clubs still use iFollow, I can only presume it’s a Sky budget issue.

Need to remember that Venky’s = Suhail, as as you say they wouldn’t know a valuable footballer from one of their prized hens.

Which most clubs are doing on their in house TV tonight and they did on Boxing Day. So they should be on the RB then like last year? Like I said, strange. Ah well.

Usually if it’s on RoversTV (or any other club’s in house media) it will be on the RB too, just not this Christmas. Strange… and annoying shelling out an extra £20 for the two games when you have Sky already.

It definitely won’t be on. No games have all Christmas, no idea why as none have been a 3pm Saturday KO.

And Sammie at 27. These ‘models’ seem to change window by window.

No chance he gets potted. That doesn’t happen here, a contract is a contract they aren’t paying it up (unless you’re Coyle and it was still months too late).

He’s a gun for hire. If they want to pay him a good wage whilst learning the ropes of English football, then why not. He’ll find a job easy enough in Holland, Scandinavia etc after this, so no skin off his nose.
