  1. Very disillusioned with this appointment. He has nailed his colours to the mast with the no excuse culture nonsense. This suggests that he won't ever publicly say anything about what's going on above him and that he only wants to focus on matters on the pitch. Which is exactly what that lot want. Is it a coincidence that the past week has seen an increasing number of Rovers fans suggesting that JDT was a big whinger who needed to go? I don't like how valid criticisms and issues raised by JDT are now being passed off as 'whinging' and 'excuses' by some. Those fans don't realise that they are playing right into the hands of these clowns. JDT truly felt like one of us, to me. Somebody who understood us, who was on our wavelength and who spoke up for us. That's before mentioning his ambition for the club. Him leaving is a big blow. The new man is one of them, a perfect pick for them, chosen by a bastard who was bricking it at the fact there were chants against him, and that makes him not the manager for me. At a time when the pressure was ramping up on the car salesman, he brings in a friendly face to try and quieten the unrest. Looking at the owners, transfer issues and so on is excuse making now, is it? All of this PR fluff about Gallagher too. Please. It doesn't take much to work out who might be behind this. The same as always. People may disagree and say it's too early etc and that's fine, it's all about opinions, but this is my take on it. I won't keep on repeating it so as not to annoy those who want to give him time and for those who don't want to see it posted over and over, so I will just say it the once here. I am firmly Eustace out.
  2. I seriously can't stand most of them. Brittain is one that needs shipping out pronto. The shit that he has served up over the last few months, then he has the nerve to come out and have veiled digs at JDT. F.O! Tonight shows that all this "happy playing to our strengths" is hogwash. They quite simply aren't up to it. Eustace coming out with the "no excuse culture" shit can get stuffed as well. Convenient how the first thing he says is he won't look towards the owners, failed transfers, injuries etc as an excuse. The perfect appointment for these clowns. They've driven the best hope we had out of the club and I won't be getting behind this. Eustace Out.
  3. An ambitious manager replaced with a yes man. These soft lads who threw the towel in because they couldn't hack JDT need to hang their heads in shame
  4. Yep, can't argue with him. Three FA Cups, a League Cup and three top 4 finishes since Venky's bought the club. Best owners in football. Another prat who is praising them for paying the bills. I'll wait for the same praise to be dished out to the Hemmings family and others who are quietly doing similar in the Championship.
  5. I don't think we're likely to hear from him until the summer now. If rumours are to be believed about him possibly leaving, we may not hear from him again. Looking at the last few days of the window, it feels like others might have overseen transfer matters. I could be wrong, but McFadzean and Fleck don't seem like his type of signings. The appointment of Eustace isn't in keeping with the 'project' of wanting to play a particular style to increase player value. Didn't GB say that the plan was to find another head coach to carry on with the same identity whenever JDT did leave? It looks to me as though a few down there are now bricking it about relegation, therefore the 'project' is on hold for a few months. 'Just stay in the Division' being the aim. Remember Waggott stating in the bus interview that we can't afford to go down and the aim is to avoid relegation. That's all the next few months will be about. There doesn't seem to be much urgency to act when faced with the opposite scenario, but the threat of relegation shakes them up. That's what the QPR result and being five points off the drop zone did to them, imo. I've got a feeling we won't be hearing the word 'project' again. That requires an end goal, and only two people in the building believed the end goal of the project was to become a 'sustainable Premier League club'. One of those people has gone. The other might be about to follow him too.
  6. Seen a couple of comments saying none of Waggott, Suhail or Silvester were at the game on Saturday. I don't know how true that is, but it is possible that they all left for India after Wednesday's meeting with the fans/players.
  7. A few banners spotted around Ewood. One reads "Steve, Suhail, Silvester, Snakes". Another says "Waggott Out". Chants of "we want Venky's out" and "Steve Waggott, get out of our club" have gone round too. Good to see the fans won't be distracted by the new appointment. On the game itself...Hedges has been superb so far.
  8. That's exactly what he'll say. He said those very words in the summer of 2018 following promotion from L1. Then, a couple of years later during the pandemic, he talked about how generous they have been and how we need to help them out. In his last interview with Andy Bayes, late 2023, the same spiel was rolled out again about us needing to "help them out" as they "have been so generous to us". It has been his M.O from day one here. Save the owners from having to spend wherever and however he can. Which makes me question who recommended him for the job. Remember, from the very outset the Venky sister said "we will lease players". I think the person who pitched that idea is the same person who recommended this clown.
  9. That's the issue in general with quite a few of them in the media today, not just Jordan, that they don't know the ins and outs so resort to 'but £200m though?'. The other fella who was chatting with Herbie on there the other day displayed a similar lack of knowledge, so just stuck to on field matters. Those that do know what has happened, do their level best to avoid the mention of any agent related issues. It doesn't even need a name to be mentioned for them to start sweating and jump in to steer the conversation towards another direction. I can remember a few Rovers fans naming the spiv and mentioning "problems with agents" on that very "Venky's we're coming for you!" show. White reacted exactly as described above. Fidgety, panicky, jumping at the mere mention of the word 'agent'. The truth is out there, but they would rather use '£200m' as a stick to beat the fans with instead.
  10. Jim White: "I know Steve Kean quite well". Err, yeah. We kind of worked that out 13 years ago. I see there was no hint of "Venky's, we're coming for you!" from Jim in the above clip this time. Has he forgotten his stance upon Coyle leaving? If only Jon was a friend of the blessed agency too. I wouldn't take Simon Jordan's words to heart. Whenever a topic like this comes up on talkSPORT, where it is the fans vs owners, Jordan almost always takes the side of the owners. It isn't exclusive to Rovers. I have heard him do this numerous times with Newcastle, United, Everton, Sheff Wednesday, Chelsea and many others who have come on wanting their owners out. For example, he has called out United fans and the Glazers Out protests consistently by questioning what it is that the fans want. He often approaches this topic with lesser clubs than United with a "well, what do you realistically expect, you are x Football Club, fans have an entitlement, the owner has put in x amount, I can't see anybody else lining up to do that" tone and attitude. It's due to his own experience as a Club owner at Palace that he does not view fans wanting their owners out favourably.
  11. Has potential but not the man for this moment. Somebody will give him a chance somewhere though, you'd think. To be honest, I personally don't want any former Rovers' players or managers from before 2010 to walk in to this mess, only to be treated like crap by these tossers. Seen Duffer mentioned along with Hughes and Benni as manager, and Wilcox as DOF too. All of those guys were a part of a clean and honest Rovers setup and provided us with fantastic memories. They do not deserve to enter this circus operated by devious bastards and end up tarnishing the good memories that we have of them. No manager can succeed under this setup, imo. It's why I want our former favourites to stay away. I didn't want Henning Berg to come here either in 2012/13 for the same reason. He came here with honest intentions and was shat upon by clowns. He deserved better. I don't think any less of him as a Rovers player, it's just a shame that these idiots got the opportunity to mess him around. For any of the hierarchy thinking appointing a former player will quieten the unrest...dream on!
  12. I agree. It is a devious move to try and strike the first blow before any protests take off. The follow on from this is, we will likely now see days of Rovers fans being portrayed as being 'angry' and 'unreasonable' before any protest has even got going. Thus, the outside world will be conditioned in advance to see Rovers fans in a negative way. Then, if anything goes off against Newcastle protest wise, it will be us who get blamed for everything. "The players even had a meeting with them telling them to stop their protests and to back the team, but they didn't listen". "They did this with poor Steve Kean too". We are dealing with scum, no doubt about it.
  13. There hasn't. Watch them run with this narrative and agenda now though. 'The Rovers players have had to put up with constant booing. The anger of the fans has affected the team on the pitch. If the fans backed the team more, they might be further up the League. It's hard to pick up results in a toxic atmosphere'. It's coming. The slimy toerag has laid the groundwork for all of that with this stunt.
  14. This is a move right out of the Steve Kean playbook from the bastard that is Waggott. There's a reason why he is the CEO here. Don't fall for the 'Mowbray recommended him' tosh. A divide and conquer move whereby, once again, the press and everybody else is going to paint Rovers fans as being the bad guys. Exactly as it was in the Kean days. The FB/twitter brigade and all who blame fellow Rovers for our troubles will lap this up. The devious tossers behind this meeting knew exactly what they were doing. A ploy to take the heat off the owners and any resulting infighting amongst the fans, which is inevitable, is just an unfortunate coincidence. IMO, that clip of the meeting has been deliberately leaked and will be spun by the press, bots and plants to make it look like the "poor Rovers players had to reason with angry Rovers fans". This has been the enemy's strategy from day one. Make the fans look like the villains and everybody else inside the club the poor victims. As for the players that attended, they can all get stuffed!! I have zero respect left for them. They are lucky to be at this club at all and aren't a patch on real Rovers players that we have witnessed. Dom Hyam sitting there complaining about the atmosphere? How about you show some bollocks and stop yourself from crumbling when the play offs are in sight? Bit of pressure's on and you're shushing the Blackburn End? Eff off, you aren't my captain or centre back! I'm fuming with this shambles. If anybody was in any doubt as to what Waggott is about, this meeting should answer those doubts. This sits alongside any stunt that Steve Kean pulled. It's important all of us see this deflection tactic for what it is and make sure we keep the heat on the enemy. Waggott Out. Silvester Out. Venky's out.
  15. Sad that it had to end like this for JDT. Both arguments hold true, in that he has been let down by those above him, leaving him trying to pull off heroics with a weak squad. It is also true that he hasn't adapted his tactics, when he could have done, to get us away from relegation danger. He isn't the man for a relegation scrap, so a parting of ways is the right move. Lee Bowyer was my initial thought as the next man in, but he appears to be happy with his own project, trying to get Montserrat to a World Cup. I think this is likely to be Garry Monk or Alex Neil up next. No compo for either as they are without a club. I wouldn't put it past this lot to do something ridiculous though, like pay compo to get Woodgate here, out of his assistant coaching role at Boro.
  16. Would have loved to have seen JDT in a normal Rovers setup with none of this mess around him. Under normal owners who showed a bit of care and ambition, no development project, no focus on increasing player value, no DOF above him, a reasonable budget and JDT in charge of finding and bringing in his own players. I know there are a lot of ifs there, but I think under those circumstances he would have been the man for us. Another Hughes' type manager, maybe. Basically, imagine him working under John Williams, with both of them working towards promotion. As it is though, we have wasted the opportunity that his appointment brought, due to the chaotic way that those above him operate. He isn't the man for this mess and situation. I think it was the right idea from GB to bring him in, just like the O'Brien signing was the right idea. Unfortunately, this isn't a normal club with a normal hierarchy, and any kind of stunt can occur at any moment, meaning well intentioned moves from a few go to waste.
  17. Yep, I see he tweeted something like "all the best trying to find an owner willing to invest £15m a year. I'm sure there'll be a queue of them waiting". When a Rovers fan challenged him on this lazy argument and pointed out other Championship clubs lose similar, he got angry and told the fan that Rovers are "living wildly beyond their means". No different to the spin that we are seeing on FB. It's the people orchestrating the spin that need rooting out.
  18. It's a good shout. Cole has inside information relating to the takeover too, as he revealed that somebody told him what was going to happen at Rovers in 2010 with this lot, Kean etc, months before it actually happened. Not that he would share with fans, but I feel he is one of a few former players that 'worries' the bastards behind the scenes. Does anybody know how the following video came about? It says he was sent by the 'League of 72' to shoot the video, but obviously somebody at the club cleared it for this to happen. Did he meet Waggott during this visit, I wonder, and what is his view of him now? Would be great if we could get in touch with Coley somehow, but it's a longshot.
  19. If this was Liverpool, United or any of the other big names, where two identical so called errors had been made messing up two transfers, there would be an investigation by media and non stop coverage until answers were given. As it's at Rovers all we'll see is outsiders laughing, a few "bizarre goings on at Blackburn" references and neutrals waving it off as "oh yeah, those chicken people, ha" before moving on to something else. We are likely to feel the after effects of these 'errors' for a long time to come in the transfer market as the pillocks have made us look like a laughing stock to be avoided. This needs investigating. I really can't see how Broughton is going to front up to this, after promising that nothing like the O'Brien situation would happen again. I'm not blaming Broughton for this or O'Brien though. There has been a constant theme throughout this 13 year mess and it all leads back to the same place.
  20. Well said. I am glad this place exists, because there are many here who have never forgotten the standards of this football club, many who have pride and ambition for the club, many who refuse to lower the standard, who refuse to accept mediocrity and refuse to be taken in by PR garbage about this joke regime. All of that is positive. The anger I feel is due to these owners throwing everything we had away, reducing standards to the floor and a large portion of the fanbase not only accepting it, but defending it too. I think that's why this thread has been created. To highlight some of the 'dangerous' views that are being shared. I only use that word because the spread of such, in many instances by plants and shills, only serves to enable the continuous downfall of this club. "Just be positive", they say. Let's take a look at that. This isn't aimed at fans in general who want to be optimistic or look for the positives. This is about those who ignore/don't see the issues at the club whilst calling fans like us the problem: "Without Venky's, Rovers are finished". - A positive view, is it? Ok. "Who will buy us, nobody would be interested in buying Rovers" - Yeah, positive. "Look at Bury, that could be us next" - very positive. "The club might not exist in a few years time" - Now THAT is being positive. "Nobody else would put in £20m a year" - positive. "We'd only get battered in the Premier League, we'd be straight back down" - positive. "Tomasson is poison, he has created a toxic atmosphere" - positive. "We're punching above our weight" - positive. "We overachieved under Mowbray" - Wow, extremely positive. Their "positive" outlook is hollow when you look at it. A display for social media, an attempt to win 'super fan' status, likes and followers. They have a low view of the club in reality, which is why they say all of the above and never mention trying to go up. No mention of wanting to get back to where we were before these owners turned up. Positive? My arse.
  21. Fair play to the LT and Jackson on this one. Goes to show how important the LT could be in getting the truth out there and bringing fans together against this joke of an ownership. I mean, a lot of Rovers fans rely solely on the LT for their club news and there has rarely been an article like this in recent times. We've been saying many of these things for a while about the hierarchy, but get called angry, negative, conspiracy theorists etc. However, when the LT prints an article like this, it has an impact. Pleased to see many in the comments section there are now realising what the problem is. A few of those have been staunch Venky defenders in the past too. The tide might be turning.
  22. That does look like plant behaviour. Throw all of the propaganda into one post, surprisingly backing everything that the club has done. Add in the (false) idea that the club might not exist in the future to create a bit of fear and in turn, gratitude towards Venky's. Then throw in a "get over yourselves" as a show of what they really think about the people they are aiming it at. Oh and a "who will buy us" for good measure. Move along, Craigy boy. Next! That's the way they operate. Say anything against the fake positivity they are pedalling and they start throwing insults around and getting tetchy. Seen it on here too from one or two playing the long game.
  23. I received a text this evening from a casual Rovers fan who stopped following the club during the Kean days. He's told me previously that he hasn't kept up to date with anything Rovers related in the time since. Anyway, he's been posting on the Rovers fan groups on FB these past few days and decided to share his thoughts with me. I open the text and I see all the classics before me. No other owner could fund Rovers like Venky's. They pump in so much money, Rovers are lucky that they do. Rovers would be finished without Venky's. Rovers don't have the fanbase to attract a new owner. Even if a new owner came in, it would make no difference because the club needs too much money pumping in. Amongst other complete tripe. Not one of those are his opinion, but all taken from the herd on FB. That's how easy it is to con people who have zero/little knowledge of the last 13 years. I took a deep breath and carried on watching Coronation Street. I'm tempted to ask him to get on the FB group and ask the Rovers fans what they think of our new striker. Tommy Orpington.
  24. I agree. As 'bad' as it may sound or unpopular it may be, I think we need the McGuire decision to go against us and for the Indian High Court to say no in March. It's for the greater good. Recent events show just how much of a shambles the club still is. Despite this, there are still large parts of the fanbase waiting for this McGuire deal to go through so that they can spin this window as being a success. "JDT wanted a striker. He's got one." "What more does he want GB/Waggott/the recruitment team to do. He needs to quit moaning". The Court approving the release of funds in March will likely set off a wave of sickening pro Venky propaganda, orchestrated by their hidden agent friends, with the naive beating the "look how loyal the owners are" and "the club is finished without their generosity" drums. More arguments, more confusion amongst the fans, whilst the enemy within takes the club down. Nah. We can't be doing with any of this shit. Most of us have had it up to here (head point) with this utter bullshit. Both situations need to go against the owners/club, for the greater good.
