We have a striker that has scored over 30 goals in 2 seasons. A striker addition hasn’t put paid to our playoff hopes, we are lacking all over the park. Im surprised you can’t see that.

I noticed recently that the powers that be at Everton were staying away due to potential threats from fans. It could have been propaganda from the owners, which we’ve been on the end of, or it could have been genuine. I could never see that ever happening here, that element doesn’t exist here these days and 99% of the time that’s a good thing. But right now, or back in 2011, I wish it did.

Not everyone, see Wigan relegation under king rat 😉

I’m not going against Wigan as a direct protest at this shambles. They don’t deserve my support, they don’t care about me as a supporter, so they can piss off.

Or trying to appease the fans with this ‘£10m Premiership loanee’….. All irrelevant now anyway, piss up in brewery springs to mind.

Why are we agreeing to pay £10m for a lad that clearly isn't Premiership quality? Not that we'd go up anyway, but why are we doing that? I think the whole deal stinks to be honest and if I was the manager I'd be considering my position, why would he want to work with a bunch of rank amateurs?

He's not actually saying that den, he said over the past 25yrs! He's been on a fishing trip and caught a few, me included. I don't need to look at numbers and average attendances to understand that for the much of the past 25yrs this club has been an absolute joy to behold, an integral part of mine and every other Rovers fans life, the lifeblood of the town and I'm proud as punch at what we achieved. Sadly, as soon as those morons from Pune walked through the door that all changed and here we are. Championship Club with the worst owners in football. Have we signed anyone yet?

I think you're taking the piss to be frank Paul. The Mark Hughes era was superb, as just one example.

I assume you were in a rush when you wrote that and added a 1 instead or a 2. 25yrs ago we were playing European football against Lyon under the stewardship of a future England manager and I could go on, but Matty has eloquently beaten me to it.

They were clearly not the real fanbase.. We are back to our natural level for me Tyrone, the gates and support we achieved before Jack came in, but if they start to walk away it will be job done for some at the club.

Of course it is... We have a goal scorer in Diaz, he can bring others into play and has scored over 30 goals in the past 2 season. Despite already having the credentials you're looking for, do you think we adding O'brien to this side will secure promotion?

I do wonder if making fans feel as despondent as this isn’t the goal of some involved with the club. What is to love about Blackburn Rovers in 2023? How does the future look for this football club under these owners? I’m truly amazed the fans continue to turn up both home and away, but many more inept, incompetent fook ups like this will eventually see us leaving in droves.

Does anyone enjoy listening to KP on commentary? He’s got a real patronising tone and style to his delivery. He’s not as bad as Flintoff, but he’s not my cup of tea.

If making us better to watch is the goal, then bringing him in would probably do that. I thought he was a player at Udders, had real quality in the games I saw. But he’s not leading this side to promotion and he’ll be gone in May, you have to wonder what the strategy is.

Missing out on this lad is one thing, but this side is miles away from being contenders for promotion, which makes him coming in pretty irrelevant for me.

Well Neil Etheridge got the appropriate reaction on Tuesday night - A Blackburn Rovers win. Onwards and upwards.

We have had some abysmal and shambolic transfer windows over the years but right now this seems to be the worse I can remember. Mowbray was often restricted to feeding off scraps and they usually come right at the last minute, but this window has orchestrated decline written all over it and I hope the club doesn't think this reported £10m buy out clause for O'Brien fools anyone, if indeed that is true. Shambles.

He's probably having trouble walking in those Off-White trainers with the tag on, its nightmare I hear. Cut it off lad.

Both paying better wages i'd wager.

If Blackburn Rovers had put Diaz up from sale in the summer he would have been sold, its as simple as that DMTP. We wouldn't have got £20m, but even half that amount would be most welcome about now!

Forest had spent plenty on that team before Cooper arrived, but the wider point is spot on Tony.

Just imagine having the Brereton money burning a hole in JDT's pocket right now, like every well run club in the land would have done? We could bring in 3 well established players and push on for promotion. Its inexcusable to have not let him leave for money, then slash the wage bills across the club. Venkys out.

Allardyce is on record himself as saying no approach.

Dyche just been announced as Everton manager 😉

My apologies @Paul Mani I was referring to January 22, you're quite right about last summer and Maja failing that medical.
