Imagine that....what is this reinvesting you speak of !?

Like the win at Millwall on the last day a few years ago.

I'll have whatever they had at half time against Sheff Wednesday. Pity we are run by contemptuous individuals as this isn't a dislikeable side

3-2 Rovers is my feel. Neither side look like they can stop or defend a cross.

We are staying up, say we are staying up!!

Is there an answer to this? For WATR to come out and say it , given previous criticism of not going far enough I believe it was said, but can it be confirmed. It's a pretty huge statement and lots of fuel for opposing current regime and their views on the fanbase. If it wasn't said it undermines a lot of what is put out there.

I know what you're trying to say I think. If Venkys aren't going anywhere the very minimum should be getting the best out of competent management rather than Z lost losers. We just want everyone working here to want the best. Sadly that wont happen, I refer you back to your first point. The name above the door invited the riff raff in.

https://www.bbc.co.uk/sport/football/articles/c5yl0lp0k9go This game is so far removed from what it was. It'll be NFL style before we know it.

I'd wager most of the time we've had "official" protests over the past 15 years we've won more often than not so it blows that argument out the water.

Significant Imvestment from Bllionaire owners who never turn down a cheque? I believe the following are excluded from P&S. Training Ground I believe they could provide significant investment outside of the regulations and yet they chose to explore selling off a fixed asset we'd never get back. https://www.rovers.co.uk/news/2021/april/training-centre-investment-project-update/ Womens Excluded from calculations, our benevolent billionaire owners perhaps could have provided significant investment. https://www.lancashiretelegraph.co.uk/sport/24435345.blackburn-rovers-minimum-wage-bombshell-criticised/ Infrastructure Significant Investment here ? We're going to need a bigger thread..

As its all verifiable from published primary sources no risk to site that I see of any legal claims (mods hide if needed) I've only uploaded your pdf, but longer term might be worth it's own thread so other can contribute to the timeline?

It's been very clear from the noise coming from the people within the club this week that the only thing they care about and seemingly the only thing they actively engage in, is a lack of ticket revenue. It appears this is a metric by which the Raos measure success. So much as being described as Venkys biggest mistake in dropping £30 to the effect Waggot has been sidelined. That's the one card they have ever revealed that's shows how we hit them. Previously I've not felt boycotting made a blind bit of difference , we've lost 15, now probably 20 thousand fans the last 15 years and no response. I dropped my season ticket because of Waggott and his Covid 'grateful to the owners' guilt when it was obvious nobody in Blackburn could attend games, but still attended ad-hoc. However, now we're down the the bone it does seem to spook them, it does seem to be on their radar and for whatever reason , this arbitrary target they set seems important to them among the huge losses. They openly have shared their contempt for us as a fanbase in recent communications. It's Venkys London Limited masquerading as BRFC. Yasir doesn't want me, Suhail scoffs at the reasons why I'm disillusioned and Waggott endorses it while Rudy smirks. Folk like that TK sit in their padded seats and pour scorn on the "uneducated fans". I'm more than educated thanks. I have a 2 and a 3 year old, yet to get to Ewood one who is Rovers obsessed, who one day I want to sit with and share how I came when I was 6 and tell stories of the good times. It's a deeply personal choice so I won't say what anyone should or shouldn't do but I can't show them this and I can't put money in where I am not wanted or thought about. I feel bad I'm depriving them, but I have to do something to show I'm no longer prepared to be taken for a fool. I applaud all the fans groups and people like Glen and Kidder Streey Noise, WATR sticking their heads up to be shot at, these are the people I will be proud to sit with, at whatever level, when this plague has passed. I love this Club and this town but at this point, until people leave, it's NAPM from me.

Sadly we're blessed with both.

Best result tonight would be everyone talking about our horrendous owners and board. Scoreline secondary for what it's worth 1-1.

👏

A few from the tremendous pictorial history by Peter White

WATR have given the Club enough rope there to hang themselves. If that was the longer game, fair do's. The absolute contempt we are held in.

Kean/Anderson/Murphy/Orr Playbook 101, play the nasty Rovers fans with an agenda card. It's like 2012 all over again. Rattled.

Have you got a lot of the sources for this? Not disputing any of it btw, it's superb. If there was a link to go alongside it's harder for a journalist to not pick it up if the leg works been done. (I don't mind going through). It's got 'The Athletic' written all over it. How anyone can look at that and not think, Incompetent, systematic destruction. We're holding on by a Wharton and Szmodics fraying thread.

The media weren't on our side in 2012 and aren't now. Those who grease the wheels in the boys club of football have too much to lose and hide than allowing us to expose the failings at the club because let's not forget this all starts with an agent with media rights, one who gets a prime time counselling session on SSN. Keep the noise going and express yourself..

I've got this on Radio lancs and it's so dull I've started listening to the static.

Apathy. Looking at the fixtures' 2 teams battling to avoid the drop up next, would anyone be surprised if we didn't win another game this season?

I heard yesterday Ishmael with Adam Murray as assistant.....

You'd imagine we'd be in the same boat for a manager as Middlesborough. We should have the edge if anything. You just know that Middelsborough will sack , Carrick and employ someone before we do and probably steal what we'd all see as a option for us.
