Any updates from contacts Mercer?

That'll do it!

Well I think I could've told you the atmosphere would've been tense without your insider's hushed communique, riveting as it was. Now can you please recommend a bog-standard, overpriced, sulphite laden, paint-stripping merlot - screw cap, no uncorking necessary - that I can degrade myself with in salute to ten years of Venky's?

It felt strange. No offence but what in the name of God is that supposed to mean?

Who says it is going to end though? Steve Waggott?

🤪 It's all so mealy mouthed and pathetic. Like a guest who long outstays their welcome, after getting a strong hint that they're not wanted, doing a hush puppy routine. 'Well, I don't want to be a burden...'

Pretty please

Exactly. Dumb down dumb down dumb down. We're Blackburn Rovers for heavens sake, known all over the globe!

I'm desperate. Can anyone see any positives at all about TM staying as manager for at least another 18 months?

Has he gone yet?

Tony looked like someone's mad uncle out there tonight. Standing sodden in his trackie-bums, gibbering furiously to himself.

I don't like Keane a bit but I'd take him in a heartbeat. An appointment like that would genuinely be cause for excitement, something there has been precious little of in recent times

Oh. I'm terribly sorry for your loss.

Dan, can you clarify what you said about 'go up or bust' please? I'm not as clued up on the financials as I should be.

Will you be shelling out for the privilege on IFollow, Len?

Yes to be honest I got an immediate whiff of BS about it. It's in keeping with all the humble Boro boy stuff,right down to the faux modesty of "oh that's above my pay grade". Says the guy who appointed the CEO!

Will they ever leave though? If they are as rich as everyone says they are, is it conceivable - though utterly bonkers - that they could just keep covering the losses for decades to come?

The petulance of his response gives me hope.

Something is rotten in the state of Denmark. Again.

Thanks for that. I had thought the video-feed was only available to season ticket holders. It's a form of masochism stumping up for Tony's dross, but I am drawn nonetheless, moth to a flame.

There's a guy who calls himself John Claret - amongst many, many other aliases - who posts about twenty times a day on Rovers articles and has been doing so for at least the past decade. Real psychiatric-inmate territory.

I'm in Ireland. Does anyone know how I can shell out for the pleasure of watching this? Thanks

Are they really still 'misguided' though or they wilfully visiting this upon us? Of course, if they were, it would beg the question: Why the hell are they injecting money into the club?

Now that's a refreshing choice of word! Sometimes one has to call a spade a spade, and a tool a tool.

Some terrific posts on here today. Bleak as things are currently, it does makes things feel that bit better to know there are people who still vividly remember what it felt like to be a superbly-run, professional outfit, and the high standards set by Jack Walker and, latterly, people like John Williams, Tom Finn, Graeme Souness and Mark Hughes. As some posters have mentioned - apart from the lack-of-brain-cells issue - the reaction of many 'supporters' to the cynical PR-job by the club makes me think that, all things considered, they just aren't that bothered about the club.
