Penwortham Blue

Exactly my point, the financial outlay that WR can offer will be so limited that it will hardly cover Swag’s salary nevermind significantly boosting revenues to mitigate any FFP limitations. Maybe, that is Swag’s game 🤷‍♂️

I qualified my thoughts as being a guess. However, I have headed up > £100m EBITDA businesses and sponsored major sporting events and clubs at different financial levels and don’t think my guessing will be too far out from the reality.

My brother is still boycotting on the NAPM basis, there are still a good few out there who would return if the incompetents left.

It will be peanuts, my guess is probably less than £150k whilst most other clubs at this level would be ashamed of a main commercial deal of less than £2m per annum. It really is shameful evidence of the decline of our once great club and the incompetence of Swag and his commercial team.

The death of a football club, Netflix could make a really depressing series on the destruction of a world famous institution.

Nothing against Watson Ramsbottom, I’m sure that they are a fine firm of local solicitors but from a commercial and brand perspective, this really would be scraping the barrel and shows just how far this club has fallen. We are the famous Blackburn Rovers, founder members and previous Champions of the FL and EPL and yet the incompetent commercial team come up with a major shirt sponsor and financial deal more appropriate to Bamber Bridge / Clitheroe FC level. I’m obviously more concerned about what happens on the pitch but to me this is just further evidence that Swag is totally incompetent.

Another young lad not prepared to give anything or show any loyalty to the club that has developed him from a young age. I can understand it but still think it is shameful to walk before signing first professional contract with the developing club.

Not forgetting the Croatia WC semi final.

Nailed it.

Peter White and Alf Thornton would be turning in their graves.

I’m all for giving someone a chance but blowing smoke up arse of the owners, Suhail and Swag doesn’t sit comfortably with me. I wish he could have just focussed on the current shit show and how we can, and must improve.

If Mowbray was still in charge, Adam would still be kicking his heels with the juniors. A special player and one of our own but he owes JDT a hell of a lot.

I salute you, ruggles1995. Like I have for over 40 years, I’ll be buying one, more out of duty than any sense of hope or excitement. Simply, if I don’t get one, I feel like I am giving up on my club and I refuse to let Swag or the Pune lunatics drive me away.

Would take Paddy McNair and NW location might suit him. I doubt Andy Cole would let his son anywhere near Swag, ripped him off when he signed for the Toon.

Definitely spot on re:Ayari

Yep and basically stole our play off place, no thanks.

Wouldn’t surprise me if he ended up back at Coventry. He was abysmal last year, slow and not the leader you need when in the trenches.

I was also there that day and the play off match in May. I’ve never been more devastated after a match than that play off defeat and have hated Palace ever since. It has been a great move for Adam but I really wish he had ended up almost anywhere else than Selhurst Park.

Daren’t risk him, he knows how important he will be to our tournament hopes.

True, but never in a million years was it a penalty 😡

Couldn’t believe his debut at Bloomfield Road, absolute quality. Delighted for him but sad that JDT didn’t get the backing to build a team around him that would have put us back in the EPL.

Couldn’t agree more, go smash it Adam for England and for Blackburn.

I’m pretty sure that if Adam plays as well against Iceland as he did with his Bosnia cameo, he will definitely be going to Germany.

Replace Maguire with the Palace defender or Gomez and difficult to leave Saka out but other than that, looks a very good team.

They didn’t reckon on JDT’s ambition and drive almost blowing it wide open by delivering promotion. A bit of backing and he would have got us there.
