Rovers games at Watford & home to Reading are on the Sky Red Button...

The issue that causes me most concern is that this is a Trojan Horse. Once voting rights have been surrendered there is no going back. Rafa Honigstein on Twitter refers to this (perhaps tongue in cheek) as football’s version of the Enabling Act.

Thanks so much, but for absolute clarity, these latest ones are from @FootyArchives1 on Twitter, I’m just posting these. I contacted the guy when he posted a Rovers video on YouTube & it turns out he lived in the Blackburn area at that time & bought club videos etc. I don’t have much pre-Premier League & what I have I’ve digitised already so these are adding to the collection nicely. It’s brought back some great memories I must say. I have some 1995/6 & 96/7 ones to digitise but I’ll wait until 91/2 is finished. This thread is now my favourite on the forum by a country mile. ?

I have read it...experience tells me that appeasing the “Big Clubs” never ends....it’s death of a thousand cuts. Since the abolition of the maximum wage, every change in English football has concentrated power & money into the hands of fewer clubs. When will they be satisfied ? Answer...never....there’s always more money to squeeze from the game.

Catching up...I should read the whole thread first ?‍♂️

..until the 6 decide to change the % in a couple of years time...

It’s far from the main issue here but Sky hasn’t been owned by Murdoch for a while.

The Revival moves on...that Skinner lad has an eye for a pass...

Did the former Liverpool CEO Rick receive a mandate from the EFL clubs or is he just using his own initiative...? Hmmmm...?

A different clip is also on p2 of this thread...

Nice Hummel kit...good away performance

The season starts here...

I’ve made a number of requests over the years & the few that replied have been featured in past episodes. The invitation is always open to anyone who thinks they have something of interest...just DM me on here & we can work something out ??

So, farewell then...

Things can only get better....

Matt Dickins Darren Collier John Butcher all deserve to be in that conversation...

Hull & high water...

I thought Don’s time was drawing to a close for sure...which made me sad TBH.

I think they might turn it around...?

I would say it’s obvious rather than ludicrous. Any business can only spend its income once. It can spend it on capital items or revenue items but once it’s spent, it’s spent. If Mowbray signs a player, that year’s amortised fee & that year’s wages come out of that year’s budget. If wages of an existing player are increased, it reduces headroom in the budget to spend elsewhere.

Went to this one...Rovers fans took over Michaelwood Services...high point of a bad day...

Didn’t they own Pune FC ?
