The most notable dissent since day 1 has been the collapse in crowds, we’ll see another visible iteration of it next season.

Won’t happen as plenty in the ground still see them as the only possible people ‘to put x million in’ and it’s the rest of us that are the fools… and the likes of Swag-hail know that all too well.

Defo be true, doesn’t everyone leave BRFC to be closer to the family? I mean, Rothwell would be still here if it wasn’t for that

Swag goes, hooray! (He’s a foot out the door already). Some other stooge gets the job as an on-paper CEO and on it goes Does selling 695 STs lead to a Venky sale?

Nobody has explained to me why a big drop in ST sales would lead to anything? c20k when they bought us, 6,995 in 21/22, and what? We sell 695 this summer, and what?

He’s cheap and will do as his told could have been many others too - Bowyer, Coyle etc. they weren’t given three and a half year deals… even King Rat, the stooges stooge wasn’t.

From what I can see, at three and a half years this contract length is longer than what any other manager has been given here on appointment since this lot darkened our doors - why?

We go round in circles with this. You only get organic dissent in the ground of any strength when the team is towards the bottom of the league, simple as that. Most fans purely focus on results/league position, they’ve not the foggiest clue about off field stuff (though maybe if they joined the dots they’d work out *why* the team is crap)

Thought Broughton said we had a ‘clear style of football from the academy to the first team and we’ll make signings that reflect that’… was that actually BS?!

‘Ismael, sort it out!’ ’I don’t care about Venky’s’ … then leave at 4.40pm is about as ‘toxic’ as it gets at Ewood

No it’s an entirely pointless exercise from our perspective but it allows them to box tick ‘fan consultation’, passionate volunteers like yourself are being used in reality. I suppose only you can decide if it’s worth your time and frustration year in year out.

That’s my point. No other football club in that scenario would have appointed this guy. Just think of the interest for such a gig, just think of the incentives an ambitious club could have put under the nose of a potential quality manager. Not a serious football club and this is the latest manifestation of it.

So no meetings between November and April. They don’t even bother paying lip service to ‘fan consultations’ now. Yet WATR still want to engage them…

That was a month ago… so how’d it go?

6th in the table with a dozen games to go and they pick this mon. Not a lot else to be said.

It’s in the Ben Marshall Podcast thread.

I imagine that’s exactly what they are doing, as it’s in their ‘marketing prospectus’ after all. They have obviously been blindsided (amazingly, because who could possibly have seen this latest debacle coming) by recent events so are still sticking to their well worn plans regardless of that.

Should Gestede be in a senior position at Blackburn Rovers? And if so, why?

Fair enough if the body language says it too. I’m sure Brittain has a lot of time for him… but we’ll hear nothing but positives from the players about him, regardless of results, until the day he leaves.

Be quite the turn up if a player slagged off the manager on the club’s official video feed.

Do you think that’s the right set up and people for Blackburn Rovers?

What is it that Rovers (whoever that is, Suhail, presumably) want?

Do you think fans should be protesting?

It’s ’more than decent’ if it’s the going rate for a top 6 Championship manager, is it?

Read through that post and just think of the club we had in 2010…
