Arguably we’re now in my least enjoyable phase of being a Rovers fan under Venkys - it’s the moment when the Sky Sports Orange Ticker generation get total blinkers and start to totally ignore reality. Kargbo is Dolan’s replacement. He’s worse. Batth is our best centre half. None of our others are close, but Carters our next best option. We can bid for this Polish league CB as much as we want, they won’t sell him cheap and we won’t offer enough money or wages. Sidnei is nowhere near the quality of Travis or Tronstad. De Neve is a total unknown and a gamble. Every single player we sign is the cheap option. Because that’s what Venkys and Pasha do. There won’t be a significant upgrade in any department - because upgrades cost money. The more you try to justify or have false hope into these people the more upset you will end up being. You simply cannot bring success when the MO is to make savings. Improvement costs money.

I thought Mike and Duncan especially where fantastic on this. It should be released as a podcast (via BRFCS? @Miller11 @Mike Graham) and used as an X Spaces pre-record for viewership.

I'm not one to argue the clubs point of view, but if he's only on 2K a week then its entirely of his own doing. He could have demanded a contract on much more money 18 months ago, but clearly thinks leaving on a free is going to be better for him in the long run - and is probably right.

I'll nail my colours early - I reckon he's shite.

I’m 100% interested in a BRFCS 2026 calendar.

I can’t think of many things worse than having to sit through every Rovers home game.

Someone get it all into ChatGPT and make it summarise it based on Indian law. Thats the clearest way to work out exactly what’s going on.

Well done We Are The Rovers who have just announced they have joined the coalition.

Hardest worker on the pitch and put in his best numbers to date this season. Will be missed by any club outside the top three or four and will certainly missed considering it’ll be on our recruitment team to replace him.

I’m not one for defending Venkys but I sincerely hope they can claim back all the fees wasted having a legal team attend every few weeks only for the judge to no show.

Because unless he’s got an experienced defender next to him he’s all over the shop! Carter and Batth please.

New deal, but a squad player at most quality wise. He’s better than Kargbo, that’s for sure.

Up for sale: Pears, Hyam, JRC, Buckley, Gueye, Leonard Return to sender: Beck, Sanderson, Duberry, Dennis, Woodrow No new deal: Forshaw, Wiemann Gone: Dolan Renew: Hedges, Batth 14 replacements if I was in charge - a squad full of crap.

Appreciate you hid this post with a note saying “doesn’t add much to the conversation”, but my ego has unhidden it.

Agreed. Stick to the facts.

Four games from potential new ownership.

I’m officially no longer calling Val a write off. Going into the last game of the season with a chance is a successful season.

I’m gobsmacked to see a club official endorsing messaging like in the attached. Lynch mobs? Grenades? War? Extraordinarily divisive language to be using against customers. If there’s ever been evidence the club see this as “us versus them” then this is it. They simply do not understand.

I truly cannot believe the board are letting him keep speak to people. He’s a total liability with a microphone in front of him.

Can’t possibly have every BRFCS member having a vote, there’s 10x more votes here than there is within the coalition itself. Whilst the vote has to close to get an answer, my advice would be to reopen the vote after and as the coalition develops, people will be able to move their votes from yes to no (or vice versa). If a clear majority no longer back the coalition, then BRFCS doesn’t.

The academy hasn’t been graded any higher in the last 15 years. It’s no better rated by the independent assessors than it was 15 years ago. We simply use the players more. Which leaves 15 years of ownership resulting in one positive: The Ewood Express.

You still can’t tell us one thing that has improved at this football club in 15 years.

+ aren’t signing ready made players.

The latter. I obviously know the number of regular users and if everyone votes, it will be (to my knowledge) the largest poll of Rovers fans.

Thats kind of exactly the point. BRFCS isn’t a group, it’s a resource for Rovers fans to have discussion. And at the time of writing, 97.65% of its members back the aims of the coalition.
