He was forced to play academy players nowhere near ready, he was forced to play players not up to the Championship standard, injuries have hit us massively. Look what he did in his first season before funding was pulled and several players walked for free and were not replaced. He will go on to bigger and better things, its clear he has something special about him as a manager.

It won't in our house islander200. As soon as the offical announcement comes, our tickets are going in the bin and we won't be going again until we get a change of ownership. The only power we have as fans is to withdraw matchday support, thousands already have, many more I'm sure will follow. VENKYS OUT - NOTHING ELSE MATTERS

I saw Springsteen last summer, tickets started at around £60 if memory serves me correctly, I'm paying more to see Richard Ashcroft in Halifax later in the year! But I agree with the sentiment.

Its interesting that the new manager frenzy is in full swing on the JDT thread, yet anyone who is capable of seeing the bigger picture should be on here trying to bring about a change of regime. Tells you all you need to know I guess....

If Pep Guardiola joined tomorrow these abhorrent owners would find a way to tie both his hands behind his back and **** him over. Any talk of new managers is futile until we get rid of these morons. If JDT goes, I'll be following him and I hope many more will too. VENKYS OUT - NOTHING ELSE MATTER!

Thanks for the update Josh. I'm absolutely perplexed that a bunch of players are complaining about the atmosphere when they've lost game after game after game, is this a ferking joke? How do we get more fans in the stadium? Start winning games lads. Can you imagine this kind of thing happening at any normal football club? Jesus wept

What a complete and utter shambles of a football club, the best manager we've had since these ****s took over and they've forced him out with incompetence and lies. I think that is me done until these lot piss off.

Your vitriol should be aimed at the owners in my opinion, these are the people that employ mediocrity, have employed mediocrity for the past 13yrs and will continue to employ mediocrity until they scurry back under the rock from where they came from.

Amen 👍

I fear you are spot on Paul. JDT has been sold a dream that is now turning into a nightmare, these owners are stripping him of his dignity and damaging his reputation in the process, I'm surprised he's still here!

Good effort @alex l 👍

I'm not going today in protest at the sale of Adam Wharton, a Blackburn lad, Rovers season ticket holder and I'm sure someone who didn't want to leave this club at this stage of his career. I don't care about paying bills, I don't care about keeping the lights on, this sale is one of the lowest points under these abhorrent owners and we have had many! They'll be melting down the Jack Walker statue next for scrap. VENKYS OUT

Nasty cut for once, a decent excuse I guess.

https://www.lancashiretelegraph.co.uk/sport/24093905.blackburn-rovers-block-tomasson-speaking-media/ We don't know the details and posters are quite rightly speculating, but this looks like another all time low under these owners.

I really can't muster any enthusiasm for the incoming players, they're players that have been brought in to keep us out of the relegation zone not push us towards the playoffs. All credit to the recruitment team for getting bodies in at such short notice, the Wharton deal hit a snag, the sale wasn't going through at one point, which made the incomings even more difficult to get over the line, so credit to the team for that. The sale of Wharton will go down as one of the darkest moments under these owners for me. A Blackburn lad, Rovers fan, sold at the earliest opportunity by absent owners who are now intent on squeezing every last penny we have, you do wonder whats next for the club and our billionaire owners. I'll not be going to QPR game tomorrow in protest against the owners, it won't make the slightest bit of difference, but its the only control I/we have as a fans. We need these owners out of the club, or the ground will be sold next if the academy doesn't produce, mark my words. VENKYS OUT

You have to be in Gordon Cowans league to put in GC performances, Fleck isn’t and never will be.

Being of a certain vintage I can't quite stretch that far TheWeasel, but I hear you brother. Unless Ewood is going into meltdown on Saturday I'll not going. This sale was avoidable, sell Diaz, sell Rothwell, sell Leniham, don't let the Blackburn lad with Rovers in his blood leave you stupid ****s.

No I haven't, but I'm actually in Venkys autobiography, along with Henning Berg, Michel Salgado, Ryan Nelson, Paul Lambert and the list goes on of refusals to pay when under contract....

The 2 clubs in this league with no money, he must be a blinding player!

Changed it for you.

He made up the failed medical story and has a 'Mercer esq' record on transfers. Has anyone seen them both in the same room 😁

🤣 what a load of bullshit that was!

The only way to protest is to follow the Reading fans model, maximum impact, maximum exposure, beamed directly into the living room in Pune and across the world. Only my opinion of course and this view is in no way the views of Brfcs and its posters.

You seem surprised at that Rev? Every other fee received has also disappeared in running costs! It makes it even more criminal that Diaz, Lenihan and Rothwell were allowed to walk for free. Fees for those players and Wharton stays, but oh no, they’re as thick as a bar top.

Wharton hasn't even played a full season for us yet and they're pushing the lad out of the door. The most galling thing about this is he's a Blackburn lad and a Rovers fan, I can't get past that. I think the time has come again to seriously consider not going, I spent a few years after the king rat debacle away from the club and I'm on that path again to be honest, its the only control we have as fans to withdraw matchday support. People will talk about us not being able to turn this money down, we need to cash in for the future of the club, JDT will get the money to reinvest 🤣 - We are in this situation because of these abhorrent absent owners, this isn't anything to do with the good people that support this great club. This doesn't get any better until this lot sod off. Venkys out.
