Fulham have never beaten us by a 6-goal margin before 👍 -

Just lip-read Mowbray sending Butterworth on with 'Do what you can'. Top notch motivational poetry, that. -

Summer transfer window 2021.
Mike E replied to chaddyrovers's topic in Blackburn Rovers Fans Messageboard
Bit difficult as it was second hand info and verbal; a customer who's son was involved in the original medical. It's how I knew the deal falling through was something to do with insurance for an issue in his back. -

In fairness, we definitely are looking at returning to the Maja deal in January. I imagine a purchase (because the price will have dropped a bit) rather than a loan. -

He might have a rough time. I've heard the new board will be quite abrasive. -

2 games per week apart from Christmas, surely? -

Funnily enough, I reckon Moyes would've been perfect for Utd if only he hadn't directly replaced Fergie. Imagine him replacing Van Gaal or Ole, and it makes more sense. -
Brockhall STC - planning permission application ?
Mike E replied to Mattyblue's topic in Blackburn Rovers Fans Messageboard
I'm one of the first people to highlight the bad things Venkys have done, and by no means is selling the training ground even close to a good thing. It was also entirely avoidable! HOWEVER. In the circumstances, I think it's actually one of the least bad things they've done. I don't actually believe this is anything to do with gain for themselves, and it is just an accountancy trick. But I'm still pissed off we're in a position where this managed decline may have been necessary, and that is of their own making. -

Mike E replied to Mattyblue's topic in Blackburn Rovers Fans Messageboard
It's hit me that we're all discussing something that SHOULD NOT HAPPEN. FFP compliance would be completely irrelevant if the club was properly run. That is why things like selling the training ground hurts. 'Managed decline' is the right term, and there's no need for it. More canny money management, proper fan engagement, employment of more competent managers (and being more responsive to those managers and their performance), and leaping on to the marketing dreams presented (THE team in halved kits, the Oxford game, Diaz) would ALL have generated more funds and kept FFP a box-tick rather than a sword of demacles. I often wonder how we'd have got on if only they'd just given Big Sam the money spent by Kean. We'd have been rolling in PL riches for at least a few years more 😞 -
Unrelated, but it always bothered me that 'Take me home, Jordan Rhodes' only got one outing at Leeds away during a NYD match. Never heard it before or since, with fans preferring the 'having a party' chant.

Hopefully a clean slate for a new manager in summer. I'd say 'managed decline to recoup some losses to make the club more sellable' but think I'd be asking for too much. At least the former is within Venky-logic. -

Mike E replied to Mattyblue's topic in Blackburn Rovers Fans Messageboard
I hope beyond hope this is what's happened: Venkys: Why's the training ground being sold, you smug bastard? Waggott: Er we er we need to raise funds for the summer to comply with FFP. I swear it's not like the swindling that happened at Cov! I swear! Venkys: Well we can just sell it to ourselves to generate the funds you daft sod. Are you SO dense? Does light actually bend around you? -

I think it's simpler than that. As an independent, and potentially influential, pundit he's reluctant to advocate for anyone losing their job. -
3 at the back, if I remember rightly Wilder preferred it? Although it'd probably need to be Dolan and Nyambe as wing backs
