There is a bit of noise (and not on social media) that 2 or 3 Americans, of which he may well be one, are looking at and monitoring Rovers' situation. I have no other detail but there is certainly something out there.

I don't disagree. However, IMO, our owners/exec management might just think they can continue to p1ss all over the fans and they'll just keep coming back for more!

A shame the 8,500 who bought ST's didn't realise this before parting with their brass!

No surprise this is only 'made known' after Phase 1 of ST sales has ended. IMO, wholly cynical.

I think there are very few posters on this MB who do not believe our club is a total shambles. The alleged treatment of our ladies makes me sick to the stomach. I don't give a flying feck about transfers. I think our club is now bereft of any moral scruples and behaves nefariously. How anyone can defend our executive management, or cosy up to them, is beyond belief. A very sad day in our history.

Indeed it does! Costs related to the ladies' team are chicken shit in the relative scheme of things. To me this smacks of desperation and is perhaps indicative of what the club thinks is going to happen with the Indian court case in August. IMO, we should be afraid, very afraid of where our club is heading.

An insult. Hope the ladies tell Waggott where he can shove it.

Your statement lacks clarity. If they 'pull the plug', and by that I assume they stop funding, then yes, administration will be virtually inevitable. If they hope to sell then administration would only happen if the new owner was not adequately funded (insufficient working capital). IMO, the club is not saleable. The best the V's could hope to achieve is to hand the club over to new owners for nothing other than perhaps a deferred purchase consideration (contingent upon say Rovers reaching the PL within a specified time frame) and to walk away with no further liability. I would think any new buyer taking on Rovers as I've outlined would need some £60million of working capital. Turning the club around will be an enormous challenge and would take quite some time.

I'm in Amsterdam for a meeting next week and as Taylor Swift is performing there, I've asked her if she would like to join me for dinner. Think my chances are better than those of Rovers signing Rak-Sakyi! IMO, Eustace is a 'yes man' who will do exactly as he's told - 'three bags full Mr Waggott'!!!

JDT also made it known what he wanted and we all know how that ended up!!! Sweet dreams!

As I posted before. All that's needed is something along the lines of 'we have a budget to work to and we will be endeavouring to improve both the quality and depth of our squad' Instead, IMO, the fans are treated with contempt and get told nothing and I think that is what we will get in terms of squad improvements - nothing.

Embarrassing and shameful. O'Brien, Brierley, McGuire and Caulker are the known ones in the public domain. Just how many more are there!? I think our reputation must be in tatters. Just so sad.

Who has said we have money to spend!? Waggott, Pasha, Gestede, Eustace - think not. Wouldn't dream of 'telling you and others what to say and think'. Merely offering my thoughts and opinions which we are all entitled to do. We haven't even closed a deal for McFadzean yet which should be the most straightforward bit of business to do. That tells you all you need to know. Lists and articles are all speculative and belong in fairy land. Most on here realise Rovers are in deep sh1te - stop dreaming and wake-up and smell the coffee.

When will the penny drop!?!? I think it's pretty obvious we will not be spending money and only signing the dross no other club wants. This window is, and will continue to be, so feckin depressing

It does show how desperate we were for cash but I think it also shows how desperately poor Waggott and Pasha are in both their judgement, knowledge and negotiation skills. Wee Dougie had them for breakfast!!!

As a few have already recognised and posted as such, this statement is cleverly worded (use of should), however, also be very aware of other content in the statement: only to technical and procedural issues - different countries have their own variation on rules, regulations and nuances covering companies and their financial governance (financial transactions, operations, compliance and disclosures etc.). IMO, the word only vastly downplays the potential gravity of the offence(s) and implications.

It's simple. All that needs saying is 'we have a budget to work to and we will be endeavouring to improve the depth and quality of the squad' You only say nothing when you have nothing to work with! Not all the fans are gullible fools.

See my post to @K-Hod

Let's get this clear. IMO, the Blackburn Rovers business, even for a football club, defies all conventional logic in terms of funding, operational management and decision making. Eventually, the deck of cards will collapse and if my thoughts and feelings are correct, there will be much wailing and gnashing of teeth when the facts emerge.

When a business is struggling financially, there are warning signs. The contracts for youngsters and the McFadzean issue are, to me, just two of a number of warning signs. I think the alarm bells are ringing and the warning lights are flashing. Sadly, those expecting Rovers to spend £7million, or even £1 or 2million, are living in a fools' paradise. IMO, all the signs continue to point to a need to 'sell to survive'. I think there is far more to the Indian court hearing in late August than meets the eye and it is a very serious existential threat to Rovers.

Think we will see lots of these stories 'beaten off interest from Blackburn', 'Blackburn lost out etc'. The cynic inside me thinks the 'interest from Blackburn' etc is all fuelled from Ewood and is meant purely to make the happy clappers and gullible think things are happening and we are actually trying to sign players! As the window comes to an end, we will be choosing from the unwanted dross remaining on the shelves.

Don't sound surprised!

Prepare to be disappointed! There are reasons both are employed by Rovers

The art of affective communication is simplicity. If you do not think Rovers are feeding their supporters feckin bullsh1t by the barrow load then that is your perogative. Certain I know what I think!

It's all feckin bullsh1t IMO. Keeps @chaddyrovershappy so hey ho.
