Why aren't they singing the owners name then i wonder ? Can't say iv'e ever heard that from this mythical pro venky mob so if not why not seeing as they are all for it, maybe it's just easier from hundreds of miles away on your phone. '"20 mill and they pay the bills, 20 mill and they pay the bills' ..... come on guys you know you want to.

Paperwork experts would've inserted a clause that he can't play in that one ! -

All this fuss over an unknown striker as well, only at Rovers could this happen. -

Because it's likely a story being put about as a 'it wasn't me it was him' arse covering job, that little tale points to the secretary i assume. -

It's bullshit, if forms are on top of the desk then they were waiting to be scanned or faxed unless AI is in charge now at Ewood of course. -

Still getting the hospitality treatment no doubt. -
They are thick as pigshit blaming fans for anything and everything, fans that were keeping this club going pre JW in many cases. Yet the owners get into trouble for dodgy finances, the club balls up a high profile transfer for the second time in 12 months and they say nothing. Just spin it back to 'i can't believe they are chanting Waggot out/Venkys out it's only because we keep losing ! Wonder how many will stick around when we do finally go bust or have a decade in lge 1 or 2 ?

Jon Dahl Tomasson - Sweden coach

He's a continental manager who won the league twice probably playing this style of football with players better adjusted to it. In this situation like many others of his ilk he hasn't got the first clue how to set up and that right hand man he has looks like he has even less. Like i said yesterday there is now a stand off between him and the club, he said he'd walk in summer but he'd have walked straight into another job. Things have changed rapidly since then so now he's saying you'll have to sack me and pay me off otherwise i carry on as normal. A cross between stuborness and cluelessness but all the blame for that is on the club, tell him to grind out some results starting Saturday or fire the man. It really is that simple. -
There was a guy used to post on here and send the odd DM who knew all about this stuff and he talked about this a few years ago. The fella knew their movements in this country inside out including various business ventures and he seemed to think that is why shadowman was really over here. Dunnfc was it ? Got himself banned but he was bang on when it came to this stuff. Anyway he flagged this up years ago as the vehicle set up to buy the house. Actually it isn't that one there is another on there from years ago somewhere.

The last time though most of it was directed at Kean who was more than happy to stand there and take it as it was worth millions to him. Now there is a CEO who is no doubt their puppet being operated by the shadowman who imo is a main player in all this farcical ownership. Waggot is the man though who through his title has to take the flak now on behalf of the ownership and if he wants to avoid it come out and tell the truth, for once.

Alongside Broughton and JDT with supposed knowledge of the Scandi/Euro market (turned up 1 trump in Trons and one turnip in Leo) didn't they recruit lower lge experience scouts ? i.e a guy from Oxford ? -
As a Rovers fan going back to childhood and Saxton i can in my personal view say the only real uprisings of anger have been totally organic inside the ground. When Rovers fans finally blow they blow and i suppose it's because we hold it back in so long beforehand giving people the benefit of the doubt. Too polite a crowd at times but the ferocity when the point is tipped has surprised plenty and if they don't pull their fingers out their cushy little number is over.

If Waggot has nothing to do with the football side i suggest a browse of his famous 'bus' interview were he talks of getting market value for Kaminski and appears to be giving himself a pat on the back for that deal. Then he talks about Ash Phillips transfer. -

The amount of ST holders hardly turning up now is startling for Sat afternoon games no way was there more than 10k home fans actually in there yesterday. How many of them will bother even buying one next season unless something changes. -

I can sort of see where they were coming from in summer as we'd just missed the play offs his stock was high. I suspect they though he had something in the pipeline and if he's honest he probably did. Walking away from 2 years pay when you are popular and have been doing well ? Nah not having it and i don't blame JDT he has his own affairs to look after but perhaps Rovers were right on that occasion. Now though we are at a completely different juncture and last summer doesn't matter. -
The crowd thing is punted about by complete wets and kids who know no better and get stick off their Burnley & Bolton mates and rivals. We are Blackburn Rovers in Blackburn Lancashire and the best we could hope for at current prices is 14/15k home fans. Yes that's more than now so if they all came every game over the season there'd be a few more quid income that's it. Would be welcome but wouldn't make a rats arse difference to how the club is run or anything else. With Waggot at the healm it would just mean a million or two less for the owners to put in whilst citing FFP and making himself look good to them. We aren't getting 20k like in the old Prem days ever in this league for a myriad of reasons and no other similar sized clubs do either. Every single one that gets used as examples is situated in bigger towns/cities/bigger unrivalled areas, Boro, Ipswich and Norwich being prime examples. Burnley have only been out the Prem once in about 7 years and have an urban area stretching outside their town that has a similar population to BwD but zero other clubs anywhere near. They've also now swallowed up the kids/family Prem fans from the Ribble Valley and areas nearer Blackburn, just like we did in the 90's. Stop being jealous of these clubs and accept what we are we've never been any different at this level, turn your ire to the REAL problem. We had ave crowds over 22k when this lot rocked up, we lost 5 mill per year but managed it with a big sale now and again, we'd been in the Prem a decade. It really isn't rocket science to work out what is and always has been the problem, you get 10k fans overnight paying top dollar, Venkys could be allowed to put in 20 mill per year on top. What would happen, promotion ? Win the FA cup ? Europe ? Don't be so stupid it would just be a bigger clusterfuck than it is now.

So he should be relieved of his duties it's that simple and it's over to those whose job it is to do it but he won't walk now and they won't pay him off. So they've created a stalemate between them that is dragging the club down. I'd sack the effing lot of them. -
Burnley fans wouldn't have booted them out at all that's such hogwash and the usual nonsense associated with them. These #uckwits had to take adverts out to pay for a drummer in their hovel because they are losing all the time and the 'roar' is nothing more than a whimper this season. It's impossible to do much at Ewood other than boycott or boo because no one there gives a stuff the directors box contains their puppet and powerless CEO and sometimes the shadowman. That's it there is no board of directors, no owners no businesses or properties here, nothing. We literally yell into a void even members of parliament can't get an audience with them. But of course over in Burnley after wrecking their own ground 3 thousand of them would be flying to Pune to 'kick em out of Burnley' obviously. Full of shit.

Yes that's what we need now for the remainder of the season. Give it a year of that though and we'd be howling for a bright ambitious enterprising coach, the kind of thing Vs searched for long and hard. The kind of thing JDT actually was a year ago but there is no point in any of it under this ownership because they've managed to ruin that.
