You understand completely wrong and I’m actually a little offended on the behalf of long standing fans with decades of support who are being told they haven’t renewed this summer due to ‘hurt feelings’ by someone thousands of miles away and it is actually nothing to do with the ‘bread and egg’ fund.

What give you the right?

Nothing, I have no rights here. I’m not a resident of Blackburn, or even England. I’m just a fan, and a latecomer, at that. 

It’s simply the only Blackburn Rovers we have. I would hate to see the club relegated to history. 

Sad stuff, but it could happen. You’re right, nothing gives me the right to criticize, I’m just an old, retired guy living in Texas. If fans don’t go, the club won’t make it. Championship level money by itself cannot sustain it. Venky’s won’t be sorry, they will still be billionaires. the fans & the city of Blackburn would be the ones to suffer.

‘I know all this stuff… but I can’t tell you 🤭 he he’ is an odd way to behave on a message board, unless it’s just to stoke your own ego.

You want to protect confidences? No problem, keep shtum then!

But you are repeatedly ignoring the primary reason as to why the attendances are so low even when someone who is a regular attendee with a clear understanding of the club and also the area is telling you, price.

So people should take £430- £530 from the magic money tree in their back yard? 

If it’s unaffordable, it’s unaffordable and a love of the club and Venky’s not giving a shite if we went under doesn’t alter that fact.

Of course I have. But from a message board harmony point of view, it’s counter productive to have people saying ‘things are better’, but then never expanding on why. If things are getting better, I’m here for it, believe me! But sometimes, when we get people saying ‘you’re talking rubbish’. Then they never explain why, it can be very frustrating to read the same things over and over again.

Not after chapter and verse- but a simple ‘things are better, x is in the pipeline’, you’ll love what is going on behind the scenes etc’.

Fair enough. I came from humble circumstances myself, I can appreciate the fact not everybody is made of money.

Just as a side note, I'm glad Craig Honeyman didn't get any commission this time, prick 🙂

I've said it before, Matty. You go and engage with them at Ewood but they do a job on you instead by making you feel like an important fan. Ego stroking. They'll drop a few bits of info here and there, sure.

You leave thinking you're the man and that those forum lot and others are clueless idiots. Situation diffused. Job done.

As you correctly stated earlier Blackburn is a town, not a city

Sounds like GB hired him. So what has Waggott been doing for a month? Prick.

Speaks very well.

Like the body language, the confidence and excitement is there to see. A stark contrast from the latter months under Mowbray. Really hope this is the start of an exciting new era for the club.

[roversfan99]

About the fans, "they're paying a hell of a lot of money." You're not wrong!

I'm not keen on the word 'project' but it's hard to disagree with anything else he says.

And he said "the fans pay a lot of money". He's on board with us already. 😃😃

Utter rubbish, if the club folds it will not be because a few thousand people did not pay their £20/ fortnight

Sounds very much like Gregg Broughton did the hiring. Or at least the convincing. Maybe he does have some authority after all?

[jim mk2]

"Projects" and "journeys" is horrible corporate speak that doesn't sit right in football. I wish they wouldn't.

I’d say Allardyce was higher profile in terms of a managerial appointment and Ince and Lambert both had stellar playing careers at home and abroad followed by a modicum of success as managers. Only one of those appointments stood the test of time.

Souness and Sparky had both

Having met darrenrover I'm absolutely certain there's no ego's whatsoever involved here, just a genuine desire to help the Club do better and ultimately prosper.

Not particularly wishing to speak for him, (he's more than capable of doing that for himself!) but personally  I don't think he's guilty of anything more than being unable to resist the temptation to react to something he sees posted on here he perceives as being completely wrong or unfair having discussed various matters with the Club and having formed an opinion on what they have to say.

Beyond that the implied understanding that matters discussed will be kept confidential and common decency prevent him from going into further detail.
