A point very well made, although one that the apologists and natural order protagonists won’t thank you for pointing out. Also worth noting that Millwall’s 2 window signing strikers, both scored !

https://www.bbc.co.uk/sport/football/64545162 Looks like the Valencia fans are losing their club as well, the victims of negligent and absent owners from a far away continent. Sound familiar 🙈

His first and only contribution to the Rovers 🤷‍♂️

I’ve been going on for well over 40 years, it is getting harder and harder to look forward to a match and my attendance is now out of a self imposed duty. I really fear that if someone so emotionally attached to the club as me stops, then who will go and so I will continue, as I can’t contemplate a world without Blackburn Rovers.

I wonder when we can expect to get a 5 minute warning of O’Brien, not revealed. Given the Club’s form, probably by the weekend, if they bother at all 🙈

Tonight, he was woeful.

If I was Ben Brereton, I would be signing that 5 year deal with Villa Real sharpish. If they have been watching him this last 12/13 games, they may well be withdrawing their offer. Abysmal tonight and now missing guilt edged chances every match.

I have to agree, hate him but would love him in my team. Guaranteed 100%, the edge needed and a better player than most in our team.

I will be there to support JDT and the players sporting Blackburn Rovers shirts, the off-field shit show is not their fault and now really is the time to get behind them. However, I travel in hope and with little expectation, as over the years this is the type of game that we almost always fail to deliver.

So, apparently he hasn’t committed to Villa Real as yet. Probably the worst case scenario now, he has no contract from June and will be shit scared of getting injured and jeopardising future contract / earning potential as without the safety net of a signed and sealed 5 year contract.

Transfer related, we all know that BBD is going to Villa Real but unless I have missed it, is this still to be officially confirmed ? Maybe they will add it in as a footnote to a failed appeal statement on Tuesday 🙈

On the other hand, if he is deemed good enough to get in an excellent Brighton team, he must be a much better bet than Jack Vale and Sam Gallagher

Not viewed the video but he looks totally dumbfounded on the still, and who can blame him. Probably beyond his worst nightmare 🙈

Not that have ever been made public. DJ Campbell still ended up here, more is the pity 🙈

Just look at the usual debacle of season ticket promotion, pricing and timeline of availability. I still can’t believe that season tickets, not just for the next season but for 3 and 5 year commitments weren’t promoted, available and priced sensibly that May Day when we beat Oxford United in front of a near capacity Ewood, the largest assemble of Rovers fans present since the celebration night after winning the EPL at Anfield. Any other competent business would have seen this as a springboard and pulled out all the stops, a generational opportunity missed 🙈

He has done his level best with the interviews to accept the criticism and responsibility, whilst at the same time looking to draw in sympathy and suggesting mitigating factors. In doing so, his narrative does nothing to support, the already very slim prospect of a successful appeal. His last point, once again suggests that they were never really interested in giving the play offs our very best shot, where is the aspiration and driving ambition and the drive to take opportunities as and when they present. Rich Sharpe, I bet he wishes he hadn’t committed his thoughts to paper, was right that they weren’t focussed on the play offs. FFS

The pie eaters effectively relegated us from the EPL and we seem to have struggled badly against them ever since.

The EFL have a FFP regulatory structure, if breached there are potential consequences and sanctions. Many aspirational and promoted clubs appear to have drawn a coach and horses through this with little or minor consequence, QPR, Bournemouth and currently Sheffield Utd come to mind. The EFL are definitely not there to interfere with the decisions and financial affairs of a commercial business save for auditing for compliance with their FFP regulations over the relevant reference period, which I think is 3 years.

Great letter and I think all with the interests of the club at heart would share your concerns and fully endorse your points.

A very good question 🤔

Broughton was at Brockhall, not B’ham and yet they still buggered it up

What has happened twice before, if we have failed to get players registered on deadline day before then it hasn’t been made public

😂😂😂

Why don’t you make an effort and get down there to play your part 🤷‍♂️
