Th 23 other teams in the league isn’t something Rovers have had any influence on, so I can’t see how that can be linked to a positive relating to Rovers? Perhaps as a fan it’s something you’re excited about, but the only thing you can come up with when I ask “give me something to be positive about” is we’re playing lots of local teams this year - in fixtures we’re likely the underdog in? The start of the season isn’t something under Rovers control. It has absolutely no link to Rovers, therefore you cannot possibly describe it as something to be positive about Rovers for. The kits are great - but the person responsible for designing and implementing them has now left the club. Whilst we don’t know the reason, I would speculate as he’s gone of his own decision he has gone somewhere he thinks is better. Onto your final positive, Eustace “seems” to have a plan. Yet all the noises from media would suggest he won’t have the funds to implement this plan. If it was as simple as “sign 5/6 players” then everyone in the league would be aiming for promotion. We need to sign multiple experienced, high quality players. The signs so far suggest this is not going to happen.

Give me something positive to be about at Blackburn Rovers Bobby.

Of course there’s a pressing need to sell him. The owners can’t fund the club so someone has to. He goes to the highest offer made before the court case.

Taken from Facebook.

That’s the spirit, welcome to BRFCS Bobby.

Hope it happens at 6M - would hopefully be enough to make some of our fans wake up.

League One Liam, as he’s affectionally known by Leeds fans.

Upside Down's post is the same explanation as mine with much more (very good) detail, no? If not, can you clarify where i'm misunderstanding? Perhaps the discrepancy is I say "they're allowed" and UD rightly says the ED previously have fought this, but a judge has allowed it as long as the bond is met. In which case I guess your point is they're not actually allowed unless they get approval from a judge? If so I would argue there's a history of two previous approvals so I would speculate they've probably got a bit of a leg to stand on i.e. it was approved last time so there's precedent. But you're right in principle. And UD is very right.

How often do people go against the government in court and win?

They are allowed to fund us within FFP restrictions (minimal at the moment due to the Wharton and Phillips sales) as long as they put a £1 for £1 security bond into an account owned by the Indian government. This is effectively so they can’t lose the case then declare they don’t have the money to pay. If they lose the court case they will lose the bond. They are choosing not to fund us to the levels we are used to because they don’t want to put the money into the bond.

Bayes can say more as he's with the BBC, who as a public organisation can't be cut off quite as easy at the LET.

If there's anything we can do on this, we're open to it. General thoughts off the top of my head: We can stream it on the forum, social channels (as well as yours to help reach)? We could make a user group, like subscribers, for 'WATR Member' and give people within that group access to a WATR questions/comment submission form? We can send alerts to members with the latest minutes from meetings? There's a lot we could do to help if it was wanted...

This is the crux of the matter. No protests will be successful without someone leading them. Saying that, I thought the match when there was protests against Waggott - can't remember which game it was - where very good. Some clear Waggott out songs, some big banners, he didn't come out from the owners box.

The answers to all three of these questions have been answered numerous times on this website - so i'm clear, are you saying you don't know the answer to all three?

It wasn’t you - it was the post you quoted that broke the rules. You’re all good!

Even if we did it isn’t enough to make the squad strong enough.

I’ve hidden the original post because it breaks the sites rules. HOWEVER, I wanted to post saying it’s easy to comment from the sidelines. I went to the WATR AGM meeting recently, a small turn out and honestly my unhappiness with the club was clearly in the minority. I didn’t really speak too much because it was clear my views on this club didn’t reflect the majority of the room. WATR have had space on their board for as long as I remember which they’ve struggled to fill until the latest AGM. WATR are having internal meetings and MOU meetings with the club. Thats a big commitment especially to those additionally working, raising a young family etc. One thing I’ve noticed - ever since the Action Group era - is there’s a lot of talkers and very few doers. A lot of people who say they’re willing to do something and ultimately, for whatever reason, never deliver.

It’s been explained before why I (and many others) think they refuse to sell. Within their portfolio Blackburn Rovers shows as an asset worth over £200M. The fact that money is owed to the owners means that selling it would be such a loss that it’s almost not worth doing whilst they can afford to run it on as little money as they are.

We’ll sign 3/4 players. They’ll just all be shite and frees or loans without significant fee.

I am astonished there’s fans that are only just understanding the severity of this. Many people on this forum, the 4,000 podcast and other resources have been explaining this in very simple terms for many months now.

Adam Wharton ensured his hometown football club didn't go bankrupt.

If they win the court case they get their bond back. If they lose the court case the bond is taken by the government. Speaks volumes about the chance of success in court if they'd not willing to put a bond in. If you ask me. Allegedly. In my opinion.

He said “the recruitment team know the parameters they’re working within” or something similar in that article.

Do you remember complaining the transfer thread was going off topic because people were discussing the women’s team on Tuesday..?
