He doesn’t understand it, so that’s compounding the problem. (but everything sounds hunky dory down there, so it’s reight)

We really are the most dysfunctional of organisations. Some corporate set-up, this. Yet, we see senior staff member after staff member defend it and those that put it in place. They must get some serious remuneration.

Fun? I garner no pleasure from it. So the horrendous decision making we’ve seen off the field this past 3 years, culminating in this week’s ST pricing, match day pricing etc etc that will see a further collapse in an already decimated fanbase are Suhail/the owners ideas? And Waggott was lying when he said he made the decisions?

Well of course they put in far more money than individual fans in absolute terms, they are the club’s billionaire owners. Though ‘commitment’ is obviously relative and they’ve overseen a decline to which the club is now a shadow of what it was when they bought it. Not the point you were making last night though, was it. But at least you’ve now backed away from that very poor post.

So Venky’s aren’t ‘far more committed’ than ‘most of our fans’, fans with decades of support?

You are questioning the commitment of others because they have an issue with their ST going up £50/£80 in one summer and for a product that won’t be close to normal at that - yet due to trains, night matches and the like being inconvenient for you, you may not buy one. Hopefully you can now see just how ridiculous your comment was last night.

Hang on, so if your issue is cost, be damned and ‘the owners are more committed than fans’, yet you yourself won’t go because of trains and the like? Some brass neck.

The stadium Jack built after this fella leaves could well see a closed Blackburn End Upper, Riverside, Darwen End, Blues Bar and radio station, with a vast reduction in crowds. And he was brought in to increase revenue?

Understandable if you didn’t rate him. I didn’t understand it then, and I certainly don’t understand it now.

Not a sniff that he was unhappy until the back end of the season when he was suddenly dropped... then bundled out by Mowbray as he wanted quick cash to put towards the £5million for SG.

Possibly, but it hasn’t stopped big valuations on Armstrong or (pre injury) Dack.

This guy has been an untold disaster. Yet, had a decent CV as a football administrator. The issue has been his arrogance and refusal to understand the fanbase and demographics of this area.

Let’s just hope arbito’s rumour turns out correct and he fecks off at the end of the season. Good luck to whoever replaces him. The board introduction of ‘you’ve got 8,000 fans’ will have to be significantly scaled down...

‘We all thought he was poor’ ‘everyone was happy for him to go’ is justification for their own poor judgement of a player.

He shouldn’t have been sold to start with, £10 million in 2020 or £3 million in 2019, so the rest of your post is moot.

The initial fee and 10% would be a poor deal. The initial fee and 20%? Just about an acceptable deal.

Doesn’t matter if you are surprised or not, they do. Which makes our small sale fee and (maybe 10%) look a real poor deal. Top sides hoover up talent, and he’ll probably spend the next 3 years farmed out on loan. ‘So what?’ Brentford will think, they’ve still trousered the big fee (90% of it too by the looks of it)

The cases have been rising exponentially for two weeks, to levels higher than other areas that are already in lockdown, so surely as they are stakeholders of the Lancashire Resilience Forum they should’ve held fire a few days? (I.e 4 days).

He was a developing keeper, he made mistakes, but more fool those that couldn’t see his immense potential. £2/3million was a crap deal... however 20% sell on would soften the blow somewhat, 10% would be a shocker of a negotiation for such a young talent.

Depends on who and how close to the situation the source is, obviously...

Journalists speak to people that have, they call them ‘sources’.

The release of STs couldn’t have been more badly timed, in hindsight. Just not seeing a scenario where there are thousands of people let into venues in towns like Blackburn any time soon...

I’m behind him, I will him on every game, I’ve cheered him at games, I cheer him from my laptop... I also think he just won’t make it here and all things considered it was a terrible deal by the club

Imagine, after seeing the totally avoidable, tragic decline of this football club over the past decade, the complete trashing of Jack’s legacy, and that’s the conclusion you reach. A shameful post.
