Supporters sitting near the director seats needs to throw everything towards that area. Pelt them with rubber chickens, tennis balls, etc. 

Everyone else not near that area, needs to throw things on the pitch.

Effective both ways. one, it stops the game, two, they know they are the targets.

Unfortunately, the supporters sitting near the directors seats are amongst the least likely to join in with any protest, in fact they will most likely have the same mentality as the people who sit behind me , (who claim the protestors are “brain dead “).

I think the Pasha mask idea is a good one, but it doesn’t look as if it’s going to fly.

He is definitely the one who needs to be targeted, one way or another.

Sadly, there just isn’t enough stomach for a fight.

A statement to get the Facebook crew creaming their pants.

The bit about Eustace is particularly laughable. As if they even have a clue who he is.

What confirmed this even more, was that months of JDT calling out Waggot and taking the piss out of him about various things including the bus saw nothing happen, but the first time he mentions Suhail he was gone within a week.

Agreed. Suhail is the nearest thing to the owners based over here.

Waggott is a slimy toad, but Suhail is the one we should be going after to make his life uncomfortable.

The club secretary is very experience as is the finance director and the CEO of the club. 

Has they been any consequences from the Failed transfer of Duncan McGuire of any staff member losing their job? 

The CEO is very experienced at wrecking football clubs. 

I agree with @J*B, though.

The only person with any real clout based at the club ,(albeit unofficially), is Pasha.

The Raos seemingly trust him, hence nothing changes, apart from the occasional shuffling of deckchairs.

I think they're in post because Suhail Pasha is effectively a non-official Director for the football club, making the majority of the strategic decisions and has a good relationship with the CEO. I think Suhail is convinced and his approval to the owners means that they don't spend more than a few minutes every few months thinking about us. All very much in my opinion and not factual, of course. 

I agree.

Hired goons.

Suhail Pasha, aka the invisible idiot.

I think thats gross negligence from employees and/or the people in charge of running the club employing inexperienced people into key positions to keep the running costs low.

So why leave them in post?

They either never learn or just don’t care.

My 50P is on the latter.

In my opinion Waggott has told them it won't cost more than X (whatever the maximum FFP allowance is) and is spending that entire budget player side as he sees that as the best chance to do his brief i.e. get the club to the Prem so they can sell. That way Venkys are committed to one number. 

Is the serial f*cking up / sabotaging of transfers part of the plan to get the club back to the Prem?

The only Prem we might get to under Venkys / Pasha / Waggott is the Northern Premier League.

I'm not sure it actually does. They're committed (or where, prior to the investigation) to investing the maximum amount under FFP rules. If we lose 5K ST holders, I can't see any reason why that would change. All that would happen is the funding would go towards the loss of ST income rather than transfer/wages. 

…….therefore it does have consequences.

Guys .... they can't sell because 

1) Books will be open 

2) They can't write off the losses as they gotta pay SBI back..unless SBI writes it off as bad debt ,which RBI(Reserve Bank of INDIA) will come with pitch forks together with Finance Ministry and it's election year...

 

if only ROVERs trust or BRFCS takes out a one page in "TIMES OF INDIA" or start a twitter or facebook campaign ...

"MADE IN UK, DESTROYED IN INDIA"

"RESCUE ROVERs" 

"BLACKBURN ROVERS FANS looking for owners"

The Times of India want absolutely nothing to do with discrediting one of the countries most powerful families, the regions biggest employers and huge investor in advertising. Many people have tried many times.  

That is interesting, because I had been thinking along the same lines as @miqaayil.

Whatever we do in England won’t even register on the Raos’ radar.

Would an Indian media outlet possibly entertain an advert which is polite, eg asking them to put the club up for sale?

If not, the only form of protest that will eventually have consequences is to stop attending home games.

To that end, I will not be renewing my season ticket.

Is the chant "I don't care about Venky's" simply that one line chanted over and over? Or is it part of a longer song with some additional context?

If not its a bit of an odd message to send out, to the uninitiated it sounds like those singing it aren't too bothered either way way whether Venky's stay or go.

As per @JamieUK post ⬆️

Apologies if it was mentioned earlier in the thread but Elliott Jackson at the LT was being a bit of a cheeky bastard this week when he started a story with the headline that Eustace wasn't going to let all the "noise" about the owners situation deflect from his preparation for yesterday's game. Thereby  insinuating that any concern about the subject is a bit of a fuss about nothing. 

That sort of attitude will look a bit silly if the situation does not resolve itself and we ultimately end up being relegated and/or going into administration. I doubt he'd be so flippant if the Club he supported was in a similar boat, that's if he supports anyone.

I think Jackson is a Sheff Weds supporter.

To be fair, Eustace has been making that point since his arrival.

I guess the chant from yesterday, (“I don’t care about Venkys”), is a bit of a compromise to draw all factions within the fan base together, but it’s a bit too tame for me.

I think one win and a few more draws does it.

The sides below us are garbage and wont be winning many more between now and end of the season, they have all had there purple patches a few weeks ago and we're still above them all.

No chance we go down this season.

This is supposed to be the pessimism thread 😉

Stating “no chance we go down this season” is beyond optimistic.

Some negative after almost 10 games

Doesn’t sound great, does it, but our heads are still above water, and at least we appear to have the stomach for a fight.

To be honest, a few weeks ago I thought we’d had it.

 Now, I’m ever so slightly more hopeful.

Negative : Still to win a game

Positive : Eustace has demonstrably made us harder to beat. 

Still has it all to do to keep us up, but tightening things up has at least laid a foundation stone.

Seriously, why don't they at least attempt to sell us?

The only innocent explanation is pride, but that really isn't the likely reason.

He has done the odd interview with Waggott and did not speak very highly of him and mentioned that he was a member of the press fraternity himself with none other than the daily sport. 

Now that is a cap that fits him perfectly.

He is a classless, horrible toad who should be nowhere near the corridors of power at Blackburn Rovers.

Exactly! We need to remember who the fuck we are. 

Was chatting with a colleague & fellow Rovers fan yesterday reminiscing about some of our best games watching us.

This club has won the Premier League, played in the Champions League & UEFA Cup, won the League Cup, 2 FA Cup Semi Finals, mixed it with and beaten all the big boys in the Premier League. My best game is beating Man Utd 4-3 at Ewood.

Yet some fans mention us in the same breath as Rochdale or Bury. 
 

JDT brought the hope, the ambition, the potential back. Now we’re making do with a budget Tony Pulis with his shit baseball cap on, taking us straight down to League One. Get the cretins out!

I know the omens aren’t great, but it’s too soon to write Eustace off as a failure.

The task of keeping us up may well prove to beyond him, but it would be a struggle for any head coach under our circumstances.

We are an absolute mess.

It's hard to be optimistic about this club. I'm expecting a steady decline to the fourth tier and a whole generation of fans believing that the sort of season Port Vale or Northampton Town usually has is 'our level', whilst going to the nearest JJB Sports shop to buy a Real Madrid or Liverpool shirt.

I read a tweet  from a supporter last week which stated we can’t expect to be in the Championship with our attendances.

The meek acceptance makes you sick.

Worst possible result for Rovers tonight.  Boro on a bit of a roll and in striking distance of play-offs.  Always a team that comes from nowhere.  Confidence and momentum everything in this league - we are polar opposites and spiralling downwards.

Boro by 3 or 4 goals to 1.

I know what you mean but, purely in terms of the table, it was the best possible result

I agree that it’s hard to see us getting anything on Saturday, though.

Either the squad is terrible and neither manager was responsible or both managers were poor.

 

In my opinion We were going down under JDT, I think he was capable of saving us and had demonstrated the year before that he is a very capable manager but he had lost interest and in my opinion was doing whatever it took to get out of his contract and if that meant relegation so be it.

 

It’s too early to make a judgement on Eustace, but JDT wasn’t “poor”, but very stubborn, and I do agree that he had lost interest and should’ve been relieved of his duties sooner.

It would take a highly skilled operator to get a tune out of this bunch of misfits, and a troubleshooter appointment was needed to give us a chance of staying up this season.

It doesn’t look as if Eustace will fit the bill, but it ain’t over until it’s over.

Neither are / were “managers” and that is significant in terms of player recruitment.

Yes, we were on a horror run but no way would we have gone down under JDT, we would have won matches and finished top half.

Wonder if the Roda JC fans thought that the season he took them down?

JDT takes some responsibility, as will Eustace, but the squad is shockingly bad, and neither of them can be blamed for that.

Everyone from Broughton upwards is culpable.

Two wins in almost half a season's worth of games does not constitute being in deep shit?

Waggott's been passing the Kool-Aid round again.

Is it medication time yet?

Tomasson, Eustace, whoever.....it really doesn't matter who's in the seat. These players are so poor that I genuinely think whoever our manager is, no-one could get a tune out of them.

I'm resigned to the inevitable now. 

Agreed, you reap what you sow, and we are getting what we deserve for the way the club is owned and run.

I said before Millwall I felt we needed at least four points from them and Plymouth. We got two. Hard to see us getting another win this season, and it feels like we'll need a couple of surprise wins now to stay up - either that or two teams below us (Rotherham are already gone) go on runs as bad as us. Eustace hasn't had any kind of new manager bounce which obviously isn't a good sign. 

Yes, Boro hitting a bit of form too, so that will be very tough.

The only thing in our favour is they have a midweek away trip, so for once we will be better rested.
