Uncle Jack's Poem.

I have never written a poem before; I don't see any point in rhyme.
It never appeals to us working class; It's just a waste of time.
Well now is a bit different, I need to tell you how I feel.
And in some small way pay tribute to the Blackburn man of steel.
It's vital not to miss the point; football is not a bit of fun.
It's pride and passion, skill and strength all rolled into one.

It's not about Man Utd, Chelsea and some foreign fancy Dan.
It's Blackburn, Preston, Burnley, that's where it all began.
Where what you see is what you get, but don't show how you feel.
But I'm making my exception for the Blackburn man of steel.
I really need to thank him for the pride he gave us back.
Just for a while we were the best, thanks to Uncle Jack.

Few people have the vision to make a dream come true.
For the beauty of Jack Walker's was - we got an invite too.
Some saw him as a rich old man who bought a winning team
But for me they miss the point; he bought us all our dream.

I think it's maybe true to say it could not last forever
But then again I'm certain that it's better once than never
And even if those winning ways never do come back
They can't take away the memories, thanks to Uncle Jack.

Hendry, Sutton, Batty, Shearer, the names roll of the tongue
But "There's only one Jack Walker" is still the Rovers' song.
So forget the players' agents in their smart Armani suits,
And raise a glass to Uncle Jack, a man who knew his roots.

 

It is time this got another airing

I'm not crying, you're crying there's something in my eye.

Swag and Suhail are doing the job requested of them, cut costs and get the club to be self-funding.

He’ll go when he’s had enough and not before.

This.

Both doing the bidding of their Paymasters,neither will bite the Hand that generously feeds.

Answerable only to Pune..virtually untouchable.Neither give a flying one about the loyal fans.

A very,very unsavoury situation indeed.

That was the untouchables TV show

Isn’t it that time of year again where Steve meets with senior players and supporters for a cuppa and a chinwag?

I do believe this is a rare sighting of the Lesser spotted Steve Waggott.

Maybe Suhail’s made him a first team coach?

We can only hope and pray it’s his last season with the club before retirement. Then the full focus can be on the other rodent, Suhail.

It wouldn't surprise me if the big jump in salary/pension was a 'golden handcuffs' type of arrangement before he heads off into the sunset.

Or maybe I'm just wishful thinking.

[Trinidad Rover]

Nice work if you can get it.

I would be fairly confident the highest paid director is Suhail though. He is essential delivering what the cretins want: cut costs, keep us afloat, minimise need for investment.

He couldn’t look any more seedy if he tried.

[Ghost7]

Could buy a decent right winger in place of Waggott.

What a cretin.

There’s a more than hefty jump in Waggott’s pension contributions, year on year, £12k to £159k.

Wonder if the latter figure includes some form of terminal bonuses and he’s now reasonably close to retiring?

More brains in a pork pie than some of those people. Are Blackburn Rovers fans really more stupid than Coventry City and Charlton fans?

Im being perfectly honest Upside Down reading your comment doesn't do the rest of us who go to support the team any good.

Why? Because I'm pointing out the obvious that they're taking the piss out of you?

That's your issue, not mine.

Eh not falling out with you. Thats your opinion. I totally disagree with his salary too but my choice is to get behind team. That's my opinion.
