It’s okay, the 7m budget will become 8m soon due to the interest. Waggot is right to do this.  Chaddy page 195. 

Can you mute people? Steve waggots fan boy is making my eyes bleed.

I'd like to know what @chaddyrovers thinks of everything that's going on. Someone who tries to find the positives in as much as they can, if Venkys et al have lost him, the god help them.

 

(This is not a sly dig at Chaddy at all, just general intrigue).

Please don’t set him off. 

I don’t do much taking I just like to read, the worrying thing is, if you go on Facebook/X fans think we’re going to win the league and have had an excellent window. You come in here and reality hits you. The fan base couldn’t be more apart. 

Midfield 2 none existent when it comes to defending, don’t know what instructions they have but it’s horrible, feel Wharton needs to be in a 3 to get the best out of him donkey work isn’t his game. Teams have way too much exposure to carter and hyam. Dolan is the shittest winger in the football pyramid. Pears wouldn’t make the darwen first 11 and how pickering hasn’t been upgraded yet, Christ. 

Thought Gallagher movement was ok, hedges has to release the ball earlier 

RYAN HEDGES HAS A RIGHT FOOT!!!!!!!

If he is "unlucky" not to sign a striker, is he also lucky that we managed to get Hyam in the circumstances that we did?

More on having the deals lined up, undav changing his mind, and lorient changing their mind last min. No point getting one in for the sake of it, look at hirst. 

Don’t think Greg is to blame tbh, unlucky with the striker situation, did everything he had to do with o brien and he’s been let down. Glad he’s come out and spoke as not many at ewood do and I still think he wants what’s best for rovers.  Waggot needs binning sharpish and the rest of the slimey scum.

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?

When Greg and JDT came in the right things got said, bit of optimism, maybe a sense of things are going to go the right way, then a couple of months later bam. Another slap across the face. Things aren’t changing anytime soon until the heads above them leave, wouldn’t matter if it was sir Alex Ferguson and John Williams, aslong those heads are above them things will always be the same, people are finally waking up it seems and fans need to reunite NOW (before it gets swept under the carpet) and let our voices be known. 

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.

I personally, and I know of other like minded, do not think our owners and senior managers care about the club.  IMO, there are too many connected to the club only because it's a gravy train.  I do not see a hunger, a passion, a can do attitude that will move the club forward or start to rebuild a meaningful relationship with the fans.  I think we are now a club without a soul.

I recall the days when you would see the likes of Derrick Keighley, Bill Bancroft and David Brown out about in the area and they'd be only too happy to have a word or two with you.

Make no mistake, seismic changes in ownership and management from top to bottom are needed at Rovers.  We need people who really do bleed blue and white.  Sadly, it might never happen and for that reason, I feel many supporters have been lost for good.

I’ve stopped going for the last 3 years, nothing exciting going on with the club, no direction, passion, I got miserable being at ewood with it being so empty and with a  dead atmosphere, when it starts ruining your weekends it just gets to the point why am I doing this, sad thing is now I’m starting to not miss it, at one point there must of been 10-20 meeting up for the games and now none of them go. Sad times. 

A player of o’briens calibre could be the difference between promotion and midtable, in the position we find ourselves it’s a huge **** up. This deal could really impact our season, also 100M+ if promoted. Heads should roll. 

Maybe brereton moved up top? Thomas on the left. Failing we don’t get a striker in. 

Potentially an excellent window after all, o brien would be a superb signing for us, Thomas could be shrewd buisness, I’d take cook as he was quality for forest last season and if we’re able to get a striker in jeeeeeez fair play to mr broughton afterall. 
 

come 11pm broughton waggot and venkys out 🤣🤣🤣

Mortons just been booked, but he takes off Buckley..

Hoping for a red card so we don’t get fined for dropping him my guess

You pay a loyalty bonus based on the contract you’ve got. There’s a negotiation absolutely, but the player is owed a loyalty payment. 

Make him hand in a transfer request to make it void?

I'm not saying they are blameless but I'm talking about the here and now. If everything they do is based on what's gone before then we may as well shut the gates.

 

I'm not excusing them for any of that but based on the point of here and now to just go for it, they would get even more pelters.

The only way it works is they go for it and it comes off but it's a big if. This squad has again proved tonight what it can do so I stand by my point, a few heads to add some strength and depth and we don't need to squander millions.

The bench is generally weak but our starting 11 is delivering most weeks hence we sit 2nd.

Only at Blackburn could 2nd in the league feel so depressing!

Don’t feel depressed, enjoy the ride. 

Isn’t it risky for the out of contract players to wait to see if we are promoted etc? If promoted surly we’d be looking for better? If they don’t want to sign now I’d withdraw the offers if promotion comes along. Don’t see them being currently linked with other top flight clubs.
