I have to agree, hate him but would love him in my team. Guaranteed 100%, the edge needed and a better player than most in our team.

I will be there to support JDT and the players sporting Blackburn Rovers shirts, the off-field shit show is not their fault and now really is the time to get behind them. However, I travel in hope and with little expectation, as over the years this is the type of game that we almost always fail to deliver.

So, apparently he hasn’t committed to Villa Real as yet. Probably the worst case scenario now, he has no contract from June and will be shit scared of getting injured and jeopardising future contract / earning potential as without the safety net of a signed and sealed 5 year contract.

Transfer related, we all know that BBD is going to Villa Real but unless I have missed it, is this still to be officially confirmed ? Maybe they will add it in as a footnote to a failed appeal statement on Tuesday 🙈

On the other hand, if he is deemed good enough to get in an excellent Brighton team, he must be a much better bet than Jack Vale and Sam Gallagher

Not viewed the video but he looks totally dumbfounded on the still, and who can blame him. Probably beyond his worst nightmare 🙈

Not that have ever been made public. DJ Campbell still ended up here, more is the pity 🙈

Just look at the usual debacle of season ticket promotion, pricing and timeline of availability. I still can’t believe that season tickets, not just for the next season but for 3 and 5 year commitments weren’t promoted, available and priced sensibly that May Day when we beat Oxford United in front of a near capacity Ewood, the largest assemble of Rovers fans present since the celebration night after winning the EPL at Anfield. Any other competent business would have seen this as a springboard and pulled out all the stops, a generational opportunity missed 🙈

He has done his level best with the interviews to accept the criticism and responsibility, whilst at the same time looking to draw in sympathy and suggesting mitigating factors. In doing so, his narrative does nothing to support, the already very slim prospect of a successful appeal. His last point, once again suggests that they were never really interested in giving the play offs our very best shot, where is the aspiration and driving ambition and the drive to take opportunities as and when they present. Rich Sharpe, I bet he wishes he hadn’t committed his thoughts to paper, was right that they weren’t focussed on the play offs. FFS

The pie eaters effectively relegated us from the EPL and we seem to have struggled badly against them ever since.

The EFL have a FFP regulatory structure, if breached there are potential consequences and sanctions. Many aspirational and promoted clubs appear to have drawn a coach and horses through this with little or minor consequence, QPR, Bournemouth and currently Sheffield Utd come to mind. The EFL are definitely not there to interfere with the decisions and financial affairs of a commercial business save for auditing for compliance with their FFP regulations over the relevant reference period, which I think is 3 years.

Great letter and I think all with the interests of the club at heart would share your concerns and fully endorse your points.

A very good question 🤔

Broughton was at Brockhall, not B’ham and yet they still buggered it up

What has happened twice before, if we have failed to get players registered on deadline day before then it hasn’t been made public

😂😂😂

Why don’t you make an effort and get down there to play your part 🤷‍♂️

I have to agree, shit show by the EFL

They must have messed the paperwork up rather than being late with it. If there was a risk of the latter, just put the deal sheet in to secure another couple of hours to get all sorted.

Just listened to Cooper on Radio Lancashire, he’s livid and clearly sees Rovers as being unprofessional and letting their player down. Scathing

One would like to think so, in the face of adversity. I would love us to stick together, pack out Ewood, support our team and show the world that we are still here, loyal and standing despite all the shit we have had thrown at as over the next 12 years. However, the reality is that we are largely broken and many fans will decide to throw the towel in and sadly, they can hardly be blamed.

That is negligence, what about getting the deal sorted and then getting some tea, FFS 😡

A great letter, befitting a legal eagle. Maybe they should have had you in by way of the external legal advice, someone with the legal expertise and a deep and emotional connection and incentive to get it right.

A very good point and one that needs clarifying in due course by Swag

Wow, had no idea about this. Clearly shows what a charlatan Swag is
