This is a very very poor standard. -

oh...do we have to ? -
What is interesting is this statement about the money flowing down the pyramid. It does make me wonder what was agreed behind closed doors, in the discussions on the pandemic bail out. Could we see these "elite" clubs having a (B) Team playing to domestic fans in the PL, whilst their (A) Team play to richer fans around the world? These sides already effectively work this way with their vast squads. Their "punishment"... B sides starting in the Championship next season. The outcome will stink. That is all I can guarantee.

Are they planning to start this August ? 12 team league, after 3 declined. If those 12 are (rightly) thrown out of their domestic leagues it seems impossible to think that other European clubs will choose to make up the numbers on an annual basis to make 20. All the talk about fans is meaningless. We are talking about Traditional fans.... like most of us. Venky's taught us that having a ST since 1950 doesn't mean your opinion counts for naff all. They will be oversubscribed on ticket applications every game, with a mix of traditional fans (who can afford a ticket once a season and are successful in the draw) and modern t'internet fans (plastics to the traditional flat cappers) from China, Dubai, etc. The old game we love is already long since dead. Let them go. Kick them out the league. I bet they are livid up in Glasgow... Surely the old firm must qualify 😀 These businesses are choosing their path to worldwide growth. Not much we can do except bar them from our domestic market. Do the league bodies and political figures have the balls ? Basically making all the traditional fans of these clubs "stateless" ? I seriously doubt it. Be interesting to see how this plays out but it needs to be fast if the league kicks off in August. Clearly it's not Europe's elite at all. It's just the richest clubs from England, Spain and Italy. Man City in traditional terms are and always will be a smaller club than Rovers. They just happen to have rich owners at this moment in time.

Supporters Consultation Meeting
OldEwoodBlue replied to J*B's topic in Blackburn Rovers Fans Messageboard
BRFCS were not invited according to Josh on page before. So as I said, it was only the nodding dogs who were hand picked. End of the day they will reap what they sow. -
Supporters Consultation Meeting
OldEwoodBlue replied to J*B's topic in Blackburn Rovers Fans Messageboard
Who exactly was invited and what was the criteria to be invited ? Clearly it was not any of the recognised supporter groups. No use asking Birdy and the like, who are going to buy a ST regardless. That will result in 2500. They need to be asking those who represent the other 20,000. -
Rovers v Derby - 6pm, Friday 16th
OldEwoodBlue replied to Stuart's topic in Blackburn Rovers Fans Messageboard
Still trying to decide if I have completely lost interest for the remainder of this season. Manager doesn't care. Owners don't care. Players don't care. CEO doesn't care. Why should I care ? The only thing which is certain is a pre season away game at Fleetwood. Wonderful. So excited. -
Supporters Consultation Meeting
OldEwoodBlue replied to J*B's topic in Blackburn Rovers Fans Messageboard
taking questions from who ? and how did these individuals know about it when they are supposed to send invites out to all the individuals and groups who usually attend. e.g. Josh would have been contacted on behalf of BRFCS. Sounds very fishy even by their standards. -

2 kids at centre half and not even our kids.... what could possibly go wrong ? -
I think success, and whether that is promotion or winning the PL or the CL, starts with the manager's mentality. i.e. If Zidane says I'm really not bothered if we win the Champions League, I just want to develop players, that there is zero chance his players will perform anywhere near the standard expected, regardless if they are good enough. What hope is there if the team go out onto the pitch with "it doesn't matter" ringing in their ears. 9th or 17th lads... just enjoy yourselves and try to compete.

Mowbray's recent words, bullshit, lies are a fuck you to the fans. Making 5 subs was a fuck you to the fans. The owners saying he will be here until the end of the season regardless of results is a fuck you to the fans. Mowbray keep talking about next season when he knows nobody wants him here is a fuck you to the fans. Trying to flog part of Jack's legacy for a few houses under the radar was a fuck you to the fans. If they actually let Mowbray start next season its a fuck you to the fans. If they sack him and hire a new manager just before the season starts its a fuck you to the fans. If (when) the stitch pitch doesn't happen its a fuck you to the fans. If they put season tickets on sale in July, increase prices, guilt trip fans, all in light of the above its a massive fuck you to the fans. Please give us your money you mugs so we can pay Daniel Ayala. Erm...FUCK YOU. Drain the swamp.

“We have four or five games left and I know that we’ll win some in that block of fixtures.” Sounds like 3 wins in 20 is an acceptable bar these days.
