Venky’s, HMRC…The Plot Thickens ?
martonrover replied to tomphil's topic in Blackburn Rovers Fans Messageboard
Unfortunately, I think you are largely right. However, we also know that Venkys, (and particularly Balaji), do like showbiz, and they would be embarrassed by a protest in a televised game (Welsh tv, but widely available), against a club with Hollywood owners. -

Yes, it’s a bit self important to issue a statement like that, and that is what annoys me more than the sentiment (which is basically cosying up to the club). Everyone smile and cheer all the way to oblivion. -

Spot on. Amazingly, some supporters still can’t see it for what it is. -

That is an odd way of looking at it when, as a minimum, Ipswich are already virtually guaranteed a Play Off place. How many times have we achieved that in the last decade or so? Makes the division they were in last season irrelevant. -

I know there are a raft of opinions about Travis, but something is definitely wrong at our end when he can walk straight into a team chasing automatic promotion. On a lower scale, it reminds me of when Sherwood left to join Tottenham. That pretty much sealed our fate. We have allowed our captain and one of the few senior players we had left to walk away, whilst we are in free fall. -

This is the whole crux of him being head coach and not manager. He is powerless re - transfers. That’s Broughton’s remit, but in reality it’s completely up to our magnificent owners. Hooray! -

I’d even settle for being competitive in the Championship, with a genuine ambition for promotion, and where the primary aim is to win matches. Anyway, back on topic, wonder where Gregg is with his bag of lollipops today? -

Thanks for posting this. The stats as compiled by someone watching without red rose tinted glasses on. Of course, even if they had been more favourable to Rovers, the only stat that really counts is the score line. -

1/ I didn’t make the original point about no plan B. 2/ The significant thing I witnessed was a combination of our keeper and a very weak bench costing us the game. 3/ Before you ask, no, I couldn’t have done any better in goal or coming off the bench. -

Only two of those were signed this season, and it’s clearly not enough to mitigate for the departure of senior players. We are a development club. I don’t agree with everything Chris Sutton says, but he called it earlier this season. -

In proportion with more experienced players, one or two youngsters on loan is fine, as long as the primary aim of the club is to win games. People can try and defend it all they like, but the fact is we have quite blatantly been reduced to no more than a development club with zero ambition. The argument that we are having to do it is neither here nor there in my book. It’s the final season I am going to tolerate it.
