Adam’s Mum has retweeted “Crystal Palace have made a move for Adam Wharton” on Xwitter.

Or Ipswich.

I think you’re probably right. And I’m happy to accept that, which is partly why I have left the posts unhidden so people can make their own judgement. It’s also why I’ve given the context of ARA being a long term poster with an exemplary record. Sadly we live in a world where by not hiding the posts, someone can screenshot it and plaster it all over social media without context and it’s my name above the door. I’ve had numerous reports from other members which mean I have to do something and this feels the most sensible thing I can do.

It’s not often do I do this - but I’ve received so many reports I feel I have to. This post has resulted in moderation action. I have chosen not to hide any of the posts. There is an explanation further in the thread of what the poster meant. ARA is a long term poster and has a very good record here for not breaking forum rules. As Admin I have reviewed this and decided he has enough credit in the bank to avoid anything long term and I’m putting this down to an uncharacteristic misjudgement / poor metaphor. As a reminder, BRFCS as an website does not literate racism in any form.

Which is remarkable really, because less than six months ago you thought the season ticket pricing was fair and reasonable and local people should be buying them up.

50-100M for Rovers is about market rate in the current world. Plenty of people and consortiums with that sort of money knocking about. Develop a few good players under a proper footballing system and get promoted to the Premier League and everyone easily gets their money back.

Based on recent history, if the options are extend his deal or let him join a rival for free we can pretty much guarantee he’s playing for Boro next year.

J*B says if Watford want £4 million for him, it won’t be Rovers he moves to.

I don’t think we will go down, but I am very concerned about the future of the club. We’re where I expected us to be at the end of the summer transfer window, we have no feared strikers, three or four really good players at this level and a bunch of average ones. You cannot do a full season with a squad this small and inexperienced no matter who your manager is.

JDTs had a “shift in tone” according to Elliott. Wont talk about transfers or anything off field. Who can guess what mad shit we’ve done now?

I usually really like opposition fans on here - some of my favourite posters over the years have been fans from other clubs, including our six fingered friends. However, currently we’re experiencing a huge increase in registrations from Wrexham fans all around the world (I can see their IP) who seem to want to do nothing but cause trouble. Which is a real shame, because I thought their documentary was fantastic. For now, I’ll continue accepting them. But can members please be quick to report the stupid ones, so we can act? If it continues unfortunately we’ll just do a hard block on all of them.

Juke in for low hundreds of thousands, Gally out for decent £ is good business.

It’s just like fake news on Twitter, someone says it and it’s then repeated until it becomes true. Smells of episode two of @Herbie6590’s new niche podcast POB (price of Blackburn), titled “Life Before Venkys - what was it like and what is true?” so that we have something on record to revert back to every time younger fans make up that the place was on fire.

I feel like I’m on a different planet sometimes.

Which couldn’t be any more Rovers - the fans turn on the man who’s refusing to accept mediocrity instead of those bringing it.

Rovers fans ridding the club of Venkys by making policing costs too much for them to pay would be the ultimate payback.

The Whalley Branch endorses this message.

We're now paying Buckley's wages again, which will take something. We're financially fecked.

Unfortunately the bus is leased, not owned as the CEO publicly declared, therefore he can only park the bus on certain days of the week under the lease agreement.

The debt comment is an interesting one - for me, no buyer is going to pay for debt to the owners due to poor decision making. It’s different if the debt is - let’s say - 100M to a construction company or a bank for a new state of the art stadium or training facilities which is tangible. If we take this back to real life, if my house is worth £100,000 and I do a 50,000 extension on the back then get it revalued and it’s valued at £120,000, who’s responsible for that 30K? I either accept that I’ve spent money which I won’t get a return on and sell for 120K, or keep hold of the house. But if our owners think they’re going to get anything near the value of their debt back they’re sadly mistaken.

Six hours later I invite anyone to answer this

Can you explain to me very clearly why the following clubs where all bought by what appear to be good owners, yet nobody would be interested in buying Blackburn Rovers - especially if the club was either put up for sale or put into administration and could be bought cheaper: Birmingham City Bolton Wanderers Coventry City Hull City Brighton Blackpool Huddersfield Derby County Wigan Athletic Sunderland Charlton Wrexham I look forward to hearing why we are any different. Reminder - before anyone says “nobody has tried to buy us!” 1) Even if they did, it would be under NDA and we wouldn’t know it for sure. 2) Nobody has made me an offer on my house - the reason for that is there isn’t a for sale sign outside and it’s not registered with an estate agent.

I've just made the Rovers Trust account adfree FYI

I think we (BRFCS) can do some things quickly off the bat to help our members understand who is who within groups that represent them i.e. The Trust. If anyones interested in this send me a DM and we can come up with a plan.

Genuine question - are you part of the Trust? If so, I had absolutely no idea that you are.
