Steve Waggott

Number 1 he'd have to be told by the owners 'right Steve we want to have a real go at it in the next couple of seasons'

If he isn't told that why would he bother with the hassle of trying to push them for investment and ambition when he's on such a gravy train at his age ?

The whole thing of Venky Rovers is their middleman goes to India doing whatever he does, receives whatever financial instructions he receives then comes back and says right as long as costs continue to be managed by us and loses stay in the region of x and we stay in this division developing players the owners are happy with it.

That's the top and bottom of Blackburn Rovers in this era.

Waggot will never push upwards but will do what he can to prevent a downward spiral and that's what we see year in year out.

It was summed up when Waggott did a pre season interview at the Academy when Tomasson was manager. He talked about survival in the Championship for the forthcoming season. He has blighted our club.

He's been a handbrake at best for any club he's worked at. He played his part in the decline of Coventry City and Charlton.

Obviously he ticked all the boxes for the Venky’s.

'A handbrake' what a belter of a description of him that's exactly what he specialises in, slam it on just before you freewheel out of control but keep it on when you need to take it off and blast up that back u that hill.

The replies are what I think about him, but whilst I know he won't 'push' for promotion, to suggest he would actively oppose it doesn't make much sense. People thinking he wouldn't want to accidentally get a decent crowd (in spite of his usual uselessness in that regard) as we might win just seems a bit of a reach....

That was a dark day for our club, unbelievable that the CEO basically said there was no aspiration or expectation, apart from staying up. No wonder JDT spent every week calling him out for disrespecting our club and telling lie after lie.
