To repeat....'where has all the money gone?!'

Seen Gueye is training away from Rovers - think where Dolan was?

It's mental considering the players that have worn those shirts....

Kargbo as number 7 is genuinely mad!

As per every year....where has all the money gone?!

Absolutely no point selling at any price - we won't see any of it

One thing that is genuinely mental amongst the ongoing craziness and ceaseless Rovers ineptitude is that we have an ex footballer, uneducated, inexperienced and without any track record in the role running and leading our transfer negotiations. It is utterly baffling how he's done it....

Just watched the interview. He looks knackered, frustrated and it feels all too familiar...Doesn't get the 4 signings he wants and is gone by mid Feb is my guess...

Don’t be fooled by a handful of posters. The overwhelming consensus is that change is needed. I understand why some say “support the team” perhaps because they believe Venkys will never sell (which may be true). But even then, the demand is simple: we want Venkys to show they're even know we exist! This letter is smart because it forces an answer either way. They respond with investment, dare I say,,,, engagement, or they ignore it, which tells us everything we need to know. If it’s the latter, then it’s clear there is no change, and protests will only intensify.

Have sent the letter to Indian journalists

Who was the striker they spoke to on video in the summer but weren't impressed with his attitude? They mentioned it in that state tv like interview at the club a few months ago?

The fanbase is overwhelmingly united against the ownership, yet a small few still cling to the idea that the Venkys are somehow our charitable saviours, keeping us financially afloat and ensuring that our small-town club remains “competitive” in the Championship. If that’s the kind of club you want, one with zero ambition or involvement, genuinely feel sorry for you. Thankfully, those voices are very much in the minority. Sheffield Wednesday have shown that real change is possible. Even a simple restructure, with Pasha and Gestede gone, could transform this club. And as for those claiming that “no one wants to buy us” or “we’ve never had offers,” that’s absolute nonsense. There would be a queue. English football remains the crown jewel for investors, and we’re no exception. One straightforward step we should take, in line with previous calls to action, is to write an open letter to the Venkys (with support from MPs). The message should be clear: with the multi-year Indian tax prohibitions now lifted, 15 years of failure and on our 150 year anniversary, January is their chance to finally show ambition. There are no more excuses for avoiding investment. By that point, we’ll likely be hovering around the relegation zone and in desperate need of reinforcements. The media would undoubtedly pick up the story, and if there’s no response or action from the owners, then our conclusion becomes undeniable — the Venkys have no desire or ambition to ever see Rovers grow. It’s a simple move, but one that could be hugely revealing.(Apologies if this has already been discussed)

I wonder if this is the right moment for the Coalition to issue an open letter calling on the Venkys to finally back the club, now that financial restrictions have been lifted. With no excuses left, we expect visible commitment: come to Ewood, invest significantly in January, and give the team the financial (and leadership) support it needs to avoid relegation. Realistically, we know this won't happen but if the response is silence, that in itself will speak volumes and confirm their lack of genuine interest in the club.

One point - if it goes as expected and therefore sets a precedent, what’s to stop clubs from feigning issues like medical emergencies, stand safety concerns, or similar late in matches to force full replays in crucial games? Surely each case needs to be assessed on its own merits?
