But how can they keep us alive financially if the courts choke the funding? It's surely an ever present risk? Why they've even wanted to continue to this point, let alone carry on beyond it, is completely beyond me. Maybe I'll just a wishful thinker, because the last thirteen years as a football fan have been absolutely purgatory

And clear off they presumably will at some point, because you can't run the club like this, it's not a feasible proposition. Either that or the club goes out of business? Is this another false dawn or is the nightmare beginning to end?

Drives me bloody mad when I see "the owners deserve credit" or whatever. They've turned this great club into a basket case. I'll tell you what they deserve, a bloody good barnacle tapping with a coal hammer

"devious sack of shit", yeah, I think you nailed it there. Not shakespeare perhaps, but very accurate

Businesses are threatened with winding up orders all the time? How many times were rovers threatened with winding up by HMRC before venkys turned up? If it ever happened, which I doubt, it would've been in the days when milk in tea was rationed and all post was sent out second class. This is a story alright, and it's the first I've heard of it. It would only take the judge having a bad day and we're right in it as has been said

Yeah, it did look too me like he cared

Just seen the goals. Dear me. The keeping for the first goal is diabolical. That's a goalkeeper who has lost so confidence. So much fancying around at the back it is unreal. Tronstad, there was a clip of him looking absolutely broken. Very bad signs

Yeah it's a good point, when just was hired, we didn't have these restrictions. Can't remember who his number two is, but presumably he'd go as well and possibly we'd appoint Mike Sheron. It's desperate days. But nothing will get better until venkys go. If we had six pints get is say we were definitely down. We may still be down but I think next season is more likely

Would this be something to do with buying players and flogging them for a profit? I think we'll stay up this year but go down next unless there's significant changes. This sort of strange signing doesn't help

Being sponsored by a vape company, that hurt as well

Can't argue with any of that, it's exactly how I feel. Only thing I would say is there's probably more reasons to be pissed off that we can think of, but thirteen years is a long time, and s what you have listed is more than sufficient reason to long for the day when venkys bugger off

Bleeding ada, won the hearts of the fan base, Christ almighty. It's like Winston Smith learning to love big brother. I remember the scene where he goes into a back street pub thinking if there's hope it lies with the proles, then he realises the proles are an absolute state and there's no hope. It's a moment of utter despair. Much how I feel at the moment. We've never played in the fourth tier, does it really beckon?

Could we not pen a letter to the Indian judiciary, let them know what a spunk spaffing gormless bunch of ham shanking doss bags Venkys really are?

Where can I apply to be an Indian judge?

Yes that's how I feel. The question is, when will they clear off? I feel like that little Dutch boy in a bridge too far, who keeps asking his dad when the allies are coming. "Soon".

They really are filth these people. It breaks my heart, it really does. How the takeover was ever allowed, I have no idea. I don't want to think of all the things that's happened that's hacked me off. But yeah, this hurts. They just do not give a fuck, do they? It's just so brazen.

Yes the VenkyMeter is showing thirteen years, and the ride isn't over yet. They've totally worn me out. Defeats make no impact on me any more. Venkys on the hoardings plastered all round the ground, Venkys on the shirts even now. Thirteen years of humiliation, frustration and decay, playthings of dark lords and the third rate. Why they don't just put us up for sale I don't know. I don't think I can do another thirteen years of this. "I want to go and cry It's so sad to watch a sweet thing die"

Boo-um, who he, red Indian chief?

Wow, good find!

Yeah that's who I was thinking of, was he the first? But then foreign could also include players from the Republic of Ireland?

Just a bit of fun and I don't know the answer to this. But who was Blackburn rovers' first foreign signing? Think it was some Danish fella in the seventies but I forget him name

Thanks mate. Found this also https://youtu.be/WCZ_8HbuvIk?si=F7t9zsWgEKkFjheY

Hi guys, I've tried to get a cigarette card collection together of rovers players of yesteryear. Thought it would be nice to have on the wall, I wouldn't have seen any of these play, but it's just something nice that is pre venkys. What do you reckon, any good? There's only some players you can get, done that I wanted don't even exist at all. I really wanted Billy garbutt, he's revered in Italy because he managed there. But no doing sadly.

We're stuck with the bastards forever, aren't we? Should've known better than to hope

That made me laugh
