I can't get most of the LT output (and Im certainly not paying for it) Did he ACTUALLY say that? That's up there with "The list". I can't recall any other manager saying anything vaguely resembling that in 55 years. Please anyone feel free to refresh my memory if Im wrong.

The only bit I disagree with is your suggestion that the bottom list would be the foundations of a lengthy stay in League 1. Am I the only one who thinks that they would get absolutely eaten alive in the third tier? Most of the top list aren't nearly as good as they probably think they are either. The only ones Id be keen to press forward with next season (whatever happens) are Alebiosu, Gudjohnssen Jorgensen, Wharton (if fit) Tyjon, Pratt, Litherland Atcheson Powell. And of course most of the first five would be the first out of the door if the **** hit the fan.

Glen mentioned that a while back. Are you not overthinking that a bit? Surely all it needs is a dedicated Bank account to be opened and some sort of record kept of moneys in and out? You're not regulated by the FCA. If I donate my £25 or whatever, Im taking it entirely on trust that it's going to be legitimately used for protest purposes and not going to be spent down the pub. If it is, there's nothing I can do about it. What do other people think? Anyone able to assist or offer any better ideas?

Well, it's too late money wise for Saturday but it would be sensible to ask for a bit of help going forward.

That's the answer I was fearing but not the one I was hoping for. The cost of a few signs must be absolutely minimal. Would it not have been a better idea to get your ducks in a row and establish a bit of a fighting fund before organising a call for a boycott? Surely a lot of people would be willing to donate a small amount (myself included).

I agree with you, Im just suggesting possible reasons why they don't.

I've been wondering this for a while. Back in the day I think you could legitimately class the LT as a local organisation based on the High St in Blackburn. Now their old offices are flats for asylum seekers, God knows where they're based (if anywhere at all) and they're merely part of a National organisation (Newsquest) based all over the Country whose senior management probably couldn't care less about Blackburn Rovers or indeed any other individual Club in their catchment areas. As far as the team writing for the LT is concerned, there probably isnt a Rovers fan in the place. If however they did go to war with the Club I'd have thought it would earn them a lot more clicks and attention in the short term than by simply endorsing everything that happens down at Ewood. The problem is if they are unsuccessful. They are stuffed without having the Club onside in the long term.

Hmmm....... Can't agree, the problem would appear to be more he's been replaced with no-one because they thought they could get away with it and save on the cost. He did also sit there in the car crash interviews endorsing the departure of Eustace, the appointment of Ismael (who apparently in their view topped all the performance criteria) and the bat shit crazy "transition".

Powell, Jorgensen and I thought Atcheson was generally pretty good apart from was it his header out for one of the goals? Apart from that no-one. They were all crap.

May be rose tinted spectacles but there were some very decent players in the 1975 line up. Sir Roger, Burgin as you say very classy, Waddington and Faz, Hawkins,Oates, Metcalfe, Parkes. Remember Mike "The Rock" Hickman who I think came in midway through the season? He'd scare the shit out of the current line up!. Lol

Im going to have a rant now and I dont care what people think. Do people just write the above before the game without even watching it? He was absolute dogshit last night, it was the 25 th minute before I even noticed him touch the ball. He then perked up a bit until half time before being useless again in the second half. People tend to say "Oh he's had enough or he's off at the end of the season or he's had enough of the manager's tactics" as if that's some sort of excuse. it isn't. Some or indeed all of the above may be true and that would be understandable in many respects but at the end of the day he's a professional footballer paid to perform. With so many young players in the side we need the senior players like Cantwell, Tronstad and Baradji to stand up and be counted. On the contrary we've had the square root of fuck all out of either of the first two in recent weeks with Baradji only performing in fits and starts seemingly when he feels like it. Yes, the manager needs to go asap. But until he does, our so called better players still need to pull their finger out and put in a genuine shift.

Very strange player, looks like he has a lot of ability, but generally it never seems to quite come off for him and I can't quite decide whether he's putting it all in or not. I'd be surprised if he's still here next season option or no option.

Two words - Lewis Travis. I always said he was the heartbeat of the team when we were doing better But according to many he has a sub par scuffler.

That's fair enough. The sentiment and idea is spot on on if not the execution. Get some properly printed ones up in various strategic spots all over town then.

Had a quick look at the LT comments in the light of the story about those banners and predictably they're full square in opposition. Quite a few "I'm bringing a couple of extra people to foil those bastards" etc. Entirely as you would expect off there. I do think an own goal has been scored with the home made nature of the banners though Again predictably seized upon and they make "The Coalition" look like two spotty 14 year olds operating out of their bedrooms. To what extent that might or might not be true I've no idea and I couldn't care less. But at least try and project an image of professionalism and organisation!

Id say selling Travis.

Yes, Ill retire with my hot water bottle and Ovaltine.

Devil's advocate mode: Is that one we'd be that bothered about?

Ah I see. Whoosh! 😂

We're talking about two different things I think. I was on about the Jorgensen transfer. Not that it matters.

What do you want to know?

The only hope (and I dont place much store by it) is that Gudjohnssen comes back and him and Jorgensen score a few goals between them. The midfield is absolutely dire as well. (Sorry all you Tronstad fans) Defence hasnt been that bad considering apart from the last 3 games. Need to get back to that.

Thought it was £75k but thanks for the time line. Could it have been £90k with Terry Garbutt chucked in? That would have been an extremely dark day in my young life. What's the saying - It's always darkest before the dawn? True in 1974, but now we don't have a Gordon Lee, we have the current twonk and I can't see any signs of a dawn whatsoever.

Well tbf he is meant to be Director of Football so would incomings and outgoings of players not be primarily his remit. Is that clip genuine? Sounds like a REALLY bad wind up.

Please dont compare VI with JDT and Eustace! No doubt that the Venky's need to go but in the meantime on the pitch we need to try and cling onto Championship status and the only chance of doing that is to remove VI asap. May or may not work but at least we will have tried. If they leave him in situ it will speak volumes.
