Why would Americans buy Burnley or Wrexham?

No choice there. They're never getting that money back. Why should anyone recompense them for their mismanagement? It could be that we will be bankrupted and have to start again. AFC Blackburn Rovers or Blackburn Rovers 1875 are OK with me. But more likely Venkys will have to take what they can get, basically the value of the stadium and hopefully Brockhall.

Who would come to Rovers if we sacked Mowbray?

I'm not sure that we do! Momentum is a wonderful thing. We are just terrible at this point and have been for weeks. I'll be pleasantly surprised if we do win. No faith in us at all right now.

Yes and they are all smaller clubs than we've ever been. I have said before that we have nothing to fear from Venkys going away. Despite all they've done, and there's probably more damage to come, we are a famous club and we will reset.

This might be of some use. https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/List_of_former_English_Football_League_clubs

Perhaps this story will promote some optimism: https://www.theguardian.com/football/2024/jan/18/scunthorpe-back-from-brink-michelle-harness

You'll probably win. all the momentum is with you while we don't have any. Enjoy your day!

Some brilliant players who carried on well past 30 are being remembered and rightly so. The point is they were brilliant players with still a lot to offer. So its not necessarily the age of the player that counts but what they can do. Are we signing anyone remotely like Speedie or Cowans or Hughes? No we are not--- so the argument is redundant.

Not long before all the mascots we can find at Ewood are in their sixties!

And Bolton.

Not true of Shearer.

Would prefer a League 2 team we could all push up together to what we have now. Accept we might have to start lower than that. Once we get crowds back and enthusiasm, someone will sit up and take notice. Might even be local.

Shearer has in the past.

"I paid good money to watch that game and some fools ruined it. And in front of the TV cameras!"

Our fans more likely to attack protesters than the owners.

Entirely possible that we could be a "phoenix club" starting all over again in the lower leagues. Surely there are enough stalwarts to ensure we don't die completely? Bolton have survived without anything dramatic and are getting the crowd back now. The number of former League clubs that have entirely ceased to exist is very small.

Don't forget we lost that lad from Crewe as well. at the same time. All agreed, even photographed in his Rovers shirt wasn't he? He'll probably turn out to be a good 'un. But we'll keep borrowing and bringing them on for everybody else.

The Trust should have more members. It can't be a key pressure group unless its truly representative of the supporters. It hardly costs a fortune to join. If you're not a member you can't reasonably complain about it.

We're more like Southend than we should be. We're nothing like a club seeking to return to the Premier League.

A more important LT story "Blackburn need five signings for the perfect transfer window" You really have to laugh!

The Final Countdown eh? Its been heading in the direction for over a decade but this season it seems to be very very close. Everything we feared when Venkys took over is finally coming to pass. We've no money, barely a squad and poor home support. Worst of all we have piss poor owners who can be guaranteed to make the wrong decisions and take the Club down.

So how come he's better somewhere else? That's the question.

We're virtually losing every game!

For the first time this season I really feel the we are going down I'm dreading every game now. The confidence has gone, the team is bottling it.
