Just send them up Pleasy.

Few of those sound like 5 a side/pub quiz team names.

… make that a voluntary double relegation https://www.rovers.co.uk/news/2025/june/04/club-update---blackburn-rovers-women/

Of course, Glen, has to piece by piece, Apologies if I misread your post, as it initially red to me that though some may want a sale, a strong board was actually the aim. If that’s an initial, short term aim as we work towards a sale, then fair enough, who could disagree with that - as after fifteen years we know they won’t ever change course, or run the club in a professional way to help this club fulfill its potential, so a sale has to be the ultimate aim.

So fundamentally the Coalition is not standing on a platform of wanting new owners? WATR got a lot of stick re sticking to their long held stance of wanting communication and engagement with them, for wanting change at board level, but necessarily ownership. But that is also the preferred outcome of the Coalition? Even though there is no indication as per Glen’s post above mine that they have any interest in changing course? So ‘enough is enough’ is when? I’ll be honest I thought that’s where the Coalition already was, obviously I had the wrong impression.

So voluntarily relegating the team is not the issue, just the fact they weren’t communicated with earlier that they no longer had a team or job?

Masher seems to fundamentally not understand that ‘the club’ is not acting in good faith.

We’ve sacked one manager in a decade. The rules of football don’t apply here.

Does make me laugh when you see replies to club facebook posts going ‘we have the worst fans going, never get behind the players’. Aye, ok. Our lot don’t know they’re born.

Neither do I, I wouldn’t buy a ST (especially at these prices) if I didn’t intend to go to them. But important, milestone life stuff also happens between August and May.

So a big pal or family member were due to married at the same time as Swansea at home… and you’d say ‘no, can’t make it, sorry’.

New line of biscuits were due to come in to the offices.

Back in the day we used to arrange our holidays, family events etc around the fixture list. No chance I’d do that now, imagine missing out on a good September deal for your hols so you don’t miss Millwall at home.

Christ, he’ll spot quite the difference in club culture.

Hmmm? I wonder, perhaps that they are now all on TV so half your ST Holders don’t bother - I.e desolate ground.

Of course, same everywhere. But that’s the point, midweeks are desolate at Ewood.

No he’s right, Swansea on a Tuesday night in the dead of winter will have c6,000 folk actually in the ground regardless of the ‘11,000’ they will put on the scoreboard.

Interesting though that he was always the in the shadows ‘owner’s representative’, I.e not a formal corporate position, like a COO. Now he has nowhere to hide, so for that alone I’d be surprised if they didn’t bring in a puppet/in name only CEO.

‘Lads, quick before you go to Marbs!’ Bit like that time we launched our kit on a manky coat hanger hung up on a rusty gantry.

Few social media vids, a’ wear your old shirts for our 150th game with pride’, some fruit of the loom-esque tat in the shop… and that’ll be about it.

He has provided plenty, he’s been a key member of a side who’s spent years at the top end of the table. Not sure anybody thinks he’s PL quality, but good luck to him if he has ambitions to get there one day.

He provides goals and assists, the opposite of flattering to deceive.

He doesn’t need to get a PL gig to earn decent money, I.e the going rate for a decent Championship player.

Exactly the same reasons as my father in law. Be interesting to see the sales figures across the Championship this summer after fans have now seen just how many games will be moved for/shown on TV.

End of the day football is (or should be/was) about winning things. So fair play to Ange, and Tottenham fans will remember Bilbao far more than those glorious 4th place finishes…
