It’s set up nicely for a protest, as the next game is on Sky. Maybe some sort of fan lead protest, such as everyone wearing bright orange or empty the ground at 40 mins, by all heading my for the concourse. Sky being told what it’s all about, so that the commentary team announce I and shame the culprits 

I think fans turning up late would be more symbolic.

Man, with a O’brien controlling the midfield I would have been the first down to Ewood on Monday & I think a few others would have been the same. Instead lots will be staying away.

Hopefully one day we can all be satisfied with a transfer window again. Maybe after this summer? We can dream.

even the usual happy clappers in the telegraph comments column are turning on the club🙂

I think the most effective thing is banners. It’s all good saying things like leaving early & not turning up but enough people won’t do it.  
 

Banners with Waggot out would be effective IMO.

Sharpe's swerving any questions aimed at him, usually takes time to reply.

Someone's had fat Waggott on the phone saying keep shush or you'll get no info from now on.

Ever since Venkys bought the Club, we've been winging it. Everything left to the last minute.

It was bound to bite us on the bum eventually.

Eventually…it’s been biting us on the bum for years

[Fraserkirky]

So the PFA is getting involved in the Kourty Hause situation, wonder if we will blessed by their support?

Im still absolutely raging

What’s the odds that the Raos don’t even know this has happened.

Even if they do I doubt they care.

Someone with the nous to do it should set up a GoFundMe page to cover the cost of the banner(s) for Monday. 

"V*nkys Out, Maggott Out, SLYvester Out, Pasha Out!"

(Couldn't think of one for Pasha!)

[BigHoz]

Even tho I’ve stayed away for a few years this club still makes my blood boil, we’re all in here for a reason, because we all fell in love with this football club, we’ve stayed away in large numbers, we’ve been to quiet, we need to step up, get together and let the clowns running the show know this is OUR CLUB. Sack the board, venkys out. 

[A Northern Horde...]

Farcical,embarrassing,rank amateurish...insert narrative as necessary.

It beggars belief but somehow does not surprise.Its up to the fans to show this shit show is no longer acceptable.

Is the 7 seconds thing true?

Big white sheets and a can of spray paint will do..... Doesn't need to look professional..... Bit like rovers statement today.

It always makes me wonder what a non happy clapper does, that a happy clapper doesn't. 🤔

a happy clapper just goes along with whatever happens,usually slating anyone who dares to criticise anything about the club,players,board and everything else is ticketyboo,they`de still be clapping and whoooing if we ended up in the conference with three stands closed and waggot as the manager

[Gamst]

I’m intrigued to know why the only successful deal completed on the night was an outgoing at 10.59. Did we prioritise this over a marquee signing? It doesn’t add up and I wonder if we’ll ever find out what really happened.

A...sad...boo-er?

Anyway, I like the banners idea - there's no escaping or hiding those, especially in front of the Sky camera.

Whilst the message needs to get across, we need to be sure to be supporting the team on the pitch just as much - we're 6th in the league and don't want to risk derailing any chances we have of finishing in those top 6 positions (negative atmosphere during matches/etc).

My email to SW:

"Dear Mr Waggott,

As a season ticket holder of 30+ years and as a long time silent member of the fanbase in terms of showing outright displeasure at the many failures at the club in recent years, I feel compelled to write to you to express my disbelief at what has occurred these last few days.

We are long suffering fans who have seen this club become a figure of ridicule, both within the fanbase and outside of it. To top off losing 4 top talents at this level for nothing across a 12 month period, we now learn that 2 signings (1 an ambitious short term one to try to help fire us to promotion, the other a long term one to further the "project"), failed to be registered in time due to incomplete and / or unsigned papers being lodged with the EFL in time.

There must be some explanation from the club to the fans as to exactly what happened to give rise to this scenario. I get deals need to be done in a short time sometimes, but to miss 2 deals in one go seems very shoddy indeed. The statement mentions issues beyond the club's control & that independent legal advisors were brought in to assist in the dealings. The club needs to provide more info in that respect.

I have been one of the more patient and understanding fans, accepting the period of transition the club gas gone through since our slide into league 1 was arrested. I've accepted the journey, I accept the project, I'm even at peace with the loss of star players for nothing IF Ben Brereton Diaz is the last of them and new foundations are built to grow the club into the self-sustaining premier league force it supposedly wants to be. But to now be in the situation we're in with these two transfers is, quite frankly, unforgivable and does nothing to breed confidence in anyone in any authority at Blackburn Rovers.

Please can you assure me that a full investigation will be undertaken to determine what happened, how / why and what lessons will be learnt, and that the findings will be made public as soon as it is possible to do so without prejudicing any appeal process? There must be transparency & accountability for what has happened.

We are a town club that has dwindled in significance in the last decade, fans have left in droves, we're competing against big city clubs with much larger fanbases, or with larger income from commercial activities, on field success or tv money. We cannot afford slip-ups like this, reputationally this is a huge own goal.

I would appreciate the courtesy of an early acknowledgement. I'm sure your inbox is filling up rapidly but I feel I deserve that at least."

Was as polite as I could be.

Was sent at 6pm, no reply yet obvs.

The strange thing for me, if I was to rank the latest episode it would rank a lot down the table in terms of the "darkest hours" under Venkys.

However the reaction to this is off the scale in terms of supporter opinion, im struggling to find (since the statement) a single person not baying for blood.

I didnt see this sort of reaction on two relegations

Who'd of thought?
