Best thing that can happen here is an embarrassing battering. Might get more on side and shout the message home about the basket case we are.

What’s the thinking with Ismael and Tronstad? Is he just a terrible judge of a player?

Well done Glen, Rory and everyone else putting in serious work to get our message across. There is hope for a bright future for us (think Charlton away 10 or so years ago but on steroids!)

I think I remember him doing one of those vs Newcastle in the cup, then maybe one other time back in 2021. Really got to rattle my brain though to remember Buckley + quality used together

More to the point the bloke is shrewd as fuck and we’re sat with a load of plebs with only air between their ears

Impossible to like this guy. Seems like an unlikeable human who plays horrendous football.

Agree, a disgrace that they aren't supporting this. Wasn't there some phrase they used a while back about keeping close to Waggot and co. Sickening really. I thought I read on here that they were in discussions with the club regarding setting the ST pricing for this upcoming season too - sort of shows how far off it they are

Cracking work Glen and Co. I have to say the statement reads perfectly to me. Highlighting frustration at the charlatans incharge but not waivering on our desire to support the players and backroom staff

I saw today Bournemouth posted 2023/24 revenue of £170m - yes Bournemouth with their 11k capacity stadium, a club who have spent 80 of their 94 year history at levels 3 or 4 in the pyramid. We could be something completely different had we a different outcome back in 2012

They sold 2,500 in the first 24 hours - our lot would deem that a success by the end of summer. £259 an adult in their main home stand in Phase 1 (vs £399 in BBE for us) It’s double the price here for 1 adult + 2 children Look at the difference in fan engagement here vs what we’ve sent out today

Phase 1 comparison to last year 1 adult, 14 year old and 8 year old in the Blackburn End would cost 23% more than last year (£527 vs £428) (Other examples of families / groups buying result in the same theft from the club)

Mental - so we’re talking £429 for a Blackburn End ticket in that scenario. Let say you can make 18 of the 23 games you’re talking £24 a match! Long gone are the days of a ST being value for me and I’d be scratching my head at why anyone would buy one and not just pick individual matches. (and this is only phase 1!)

They didn’t announce the prices anywhere in email, or social without clicking into the link, as they knew they’d get slagged for it. Weren’t the trust meant to be involved in the process of pricing this year or did I misread that on here? So out of touch, record low sales for next season, and nobody at the club even cares. Hopefully this wakes a few fans up.

Knowing our lot, this will be the year they go £150 or similar and sales will still be shit because the vast majority of us have given up until there is high level changes (ownership and board) Then we’ll have the next 10+ years of £400+ and happy clappers saying cheap prices don’t work

Any idea on who the US crowd were? If any details on this could sneak into the public sector, it may even persuade the happy clappers to start protesting for Venkys to sell.

lol, we were worth half a goal….at home…to relegation fodder (which is what we are under this bloke)…he is so far out of his depth

150th year anniversary coming up with this complete shower from head to toe.

Obviously hearsay but I find it very odd that people would even want Gestede anywhere near our payroll given how he pushed for his move as a player. This clown should be nowhere near Blackburn Rovers

Not a clue what the players would be defensive about. Absolute soft shite bottle jobs, just like all recent seasons. The only defense he could have is; “Look at this clueless gaffer they’ve given us”

Thoroughly enjoyed not watching today. I’m done with this club until Venkys, Pasha, Waggott and Gestede are all gone. They are a disgrace to our football club

Looks like Luton are absolutely battering Boro. Be nice if they could get the job done

Yeah I'd not argue against that. Fully fit they would be my choice of CBs.

Fully fit the keeper, midfield and attack should pick itself: Pickford, Rice, Wharton, Bellingham, Saka, Palmer, Kane Defence is the massive question market really, with no stand-outs across the line at all, outside of a fully fit John Stones (which is rare these days).

Not really sure where to start with that squad. - 4 Goalkeepers - Jordan Henderson - Kyle Walker - Quansah has played about 3 games all year (but obviously Liverpool) - Rashford on the back of 2 Villa appearances - No Wharton, No Gibbs-White, No Spence, No Brainthwaite

Did the Mods get to the bottom of that new(ish) account that was liking every pro-Ismael comment and disliking every negative one in the new manager thread when he was announced? If him, I hope he doesn’t take a peak tonight, will get repetitive strain injury in his thumb from the downvotes
