    Jon Dahl Tomasson - Officially No Longer Our Head Coach

    I was there - got the phone call last night. Not really sure why me specifically, it wasn’t specifically through BRFCS. But I thought it’s better to be there than not, so I went down.

    Basically what Glen has tweeted was how the meeting went. It was an informal chat with the players then Waggott. There’s no minutes. 

    The general discussion was the players mentioning the atmosphere at home games and specifically the end of the QPR match and during another match (they couldn’t remember which) where they were boo’d off at half time. They said the senior players spent half time keeping the younger players in the rate state of mind and that’s not the best use of time.

    I made it abundantly clear to all the players that any booing is directly at one of Venkys, Pasha and Waggott or JDT. Szmodics especially said “we’re open to criticism, we were shit against Huddersfield and we know it”. 

    I also explained to the players that unfortunately this club has had ‘ownership issues’ for 14 years now and whilst the last five years have been relatively stable, until the issues with ownership and senior management are addressed it’s only ever a stubbed toe away from discontent amongst the fan base. 

    The players also asked how we could get more fans in the stadium at Ewood. I explained to them the issues with ticket pricing and season ticket pricing — which I described as “abhorrent” — and the horrific deprivation in the local area meaning that fans would love to go but frankly have to pick between eating and heating, meaning there’s little spare money and not enough to be spending on tickets. 

    There was further discussions which everyone in the room agreed to not disclose at this point. I gave my word - as did everyone else - so I’ll honour that. 

    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?

    Disgraceful and shambolic. Not fit to be associated with the club. Ridiculous. Pathetic. Everything that is wrong with the game. FAT STINKING LYING CONNIVING DELUDED THIEVING CHEATING WAGGOT OUT! 

    JDT - Speak your mind and hold your head high. You, sir, have done nothing wrong.

     

    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.

    JDT has played at the pinnacle of European football at first rate clubs, and under world class coaches and managers.  We must seem like an utter shambles to him.  We are not dealing with someone who has come through the ranks and feels lucky to be at Rovers.  

    He's an experienced, confident, and I assume, proud man.

    I can't see him sticking around much longer.

     

    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!

    v QPR (h) - 3/2/24

    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.

    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.

    Reading SUFC Forum.  All agreed Fleck was a great player, but knackered now.  Maybe we get a few games and dressing room  leadership from him.  Maybe he puts in some Gordon Cowans performances in.

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

    Without hyperbole, one of the most soul destroying days I've experienced as a rovers fan

    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.

    Very Interesting and the best insight I've seen into this situation.  Thank you.

    So basically confirming the vast majority of the Wharton fee will just disappear in running costs.

    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.

    Its painful folks but this is what we have been reduced to by these gobshytes running our Club...our best young talent flogged off to Crystal fooking Palace.

    You know where all Roads lead back too...

    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.

    There’s about 20 pages of it on the transfer thread…

    I stayed away from transfer thread after I saw the 2 teams with no money and the worst owners in Championship, were fighting it out for some chap playing football in Florida, who I'm led to believe its not Messi....

    Whats the popular consensus Matty?

    We need the money even with billionaire owners?

    The money is going towards next season promotion push 😏

    Free John Bulls at the next home game?

    I've spent the afternoon fuming about the inevitable sale of Wharton and expected the site to be in meltdown. The sale gets hardly a mention, has the deal fallen through already and he's staying? Or are posters just beaten at this point?
