How long do we put up with this, our club is getting dismantled year by year, on the pitch we might still be in tier two but off the pitch, non league clubs would put us to shame.

The Academy is probably Premier League level. The squad is Championship level. The majority of the rest of the outfit in general (excepting the occasional genuine professional in our midst) is amateurish at best, and the owners would get told to fuck off by the Dog & Duck reserves.

You can’t plan football success “long term”, that’s a ridiculous idea. You can plan club development over the long term but that’s completely different.

Football wise you just have to go for it every season, every game. Players won’t hang around while the Gestedes’ of this world piss about thinking of tomorrow. It’s the here and now that counts, it’s all that counts in honesty. Planning long term for success on the field is for the hideaways, the cowards.

Spot on. It's the now that matters. It always has. Winning is the name of the game, but not at Venky's polluted Rovers it isn't. No, demanding to win at this club under this regime is akin to bullying, being entitled and being spoilt, apparently. Remember Mowbray's "do they want a bully who just wants to win all the time, or somebody that can nurture and develop these players?" when talking about his successor. Then there was Broughton saying "do we adopt a win at all costs mentality, even at the cost of people's mental and physical health and wellbeing, or do we take a balanced approach, we need to be careful". I mean, wtf. Cut the bullshit and show us actual intent to win. We've got a Premier League to get back to. It's only been 12 years with the tossers being just the £200m+ down. It's the mentality from the top that filters down to all of these people when they come here and pollutes the atmosphere. No pressure, just keep us up, we can build towards promotion. Fans need to be patient. Fans don't understand. Only, no building ever takes place and every season ends up going the same way. Then every year or two down the line we have a new yes man in place telling us we need to be patient as it takes time.

They have no intention or desire to go up. That's how I see it.

You can see the exact same thing will happen under Eustace he'll be shrugging his shoulders soon and boasting about possession stats and player value every time we lose.

If I was Park, after that photo, I would be checking my wrist to see if my watch was still there.

Fantastic post, I couldn’t agree more, spot on and a absolute statement of fact.

[Penwortham Blue]

Today’s statement from the club thanks John Park for his ‘dedicated service’, you couldn’t make it up ! They will now begin the process of recruiting for the role, wake up you have had 4 in the role and it would appear that no one is prepared to stay amidst the madhouse of the Venky infected Blackburn Rovers.

Further evidence of this being a club in crisis, despite Waggott and Gestede's claims to the contrary.

It isn't normal or in keeping with a stable club to have such a high turnover in staff behind the scenes. It points towards there being very significant strategic or financial problems (probably both). 

Further evidence, if anyone needed it, of Venkys complete and utter indifference to what is happening, as any responsible, fit and proper owners, would be holding Silent Suhail and Waggott to task on this.

Who appointed Broughton? Why did his tenure last under 2 years?

Who brought Park back? Why has he gone so quickly?
Why has there been a revolving door of staff, yet those at the top of the tree and raking in the most cash take absolutely no responsibility for this and get to keep going with this nonsense?

Nixon will be gutted.

Nobody to leak information to him now, back to the usual guesswork.

"Head of recruitment" downgraded to "Chief Scout", possibly...or is that a vacancy that's been ongoing for some time?

Could that be to replace Tom Sutton?

I mean he left in May but this is Rovers we’re talking about.
