Results have gone for us today apart from Stoke. We've been given a lifeline.

v Ipswich Town (h) - Good Friday, 29/3/24, 17:30

Plymouth, Birmingham, Huddersfield all lost. Sheff W draw a very winnable home game. Stoke and QPR are not going down anyway. Excellent set of results for us today. -

Starting 11 is OK. Bench is awful. Think we get beat fairly comfortably. They have too much firepower for us. -
I won't bother to listen to the interview. The club can't and won't change under these joker owners. It doesn't matter what Gregg says in an interview, he has very little influence despite being Director of Football. We've heard this all before anyway and nothing changes. We had a "humour error" on two transfers last Jan and were told processes were in place to ensure it didn't happen again...it then happens again 12 months later!

Shame for Siggy but not a major loss for the club. Half decent finisher but a poor player overall. Not sure how he ever played (and scored!) in the champions league.

Eh? What an odd reaction. -
We are going down (the pessimism thread)
rovers11 replied to simongarnerisgod's topic in Blackburn Rovers Fans Messageboard
Not sure about Sheff W. They've shown they can pick up wins and they have a kind fixture list so I think they'll be OK. Us, Plymouth, and Hudds seem to struggle the most to pick up 3 points so are in the greatest danger imo. -
Interesting that a new football governance Bill is being pushed through parliament today. This feels like a big step in the right direction and probably a Bill that owners like Venkys will hate. I don't know the ins and outs of the regulatory powers but I'm sure this is an avenue we can go down, particularly if Venkys are not able to provide the necessary funds to the club due to restrictions in India. Anything that gives fans more power is a winner in my book.

We don't have many goals in us and Ipswich have plenty. They will run out very comfortable winners in this one. Our game plan at the moment is about keeping it tight and nicking a goal. That won't work against the better teams (it didn't even work against the lesser teams!). -

Hudds have only appointed their new manager recently so they'll prob give him more time. A draw against Rotherham when you desperately need the points is shocking though, so maybe they will get rid. I think Plymouth will get rid of their manager as he's useless. It wouldn't surprise me if Warnock goes there and he keeps them up. -

Brum appoint Rowett until the end of the season. That probably sees them safe. Sad to see Mowbray out of the game with what is likely to be a serious illness. Hope he gets well soon. Sheff W, Hudds, Stoke, QPR, Plymouth and us are all more likely to go down now than Brum. Personally, I think we will go down with Huddersfield or Plymouth. If Plymouth change their manager then they will probably stay up. Our inability to win a game will see us relegated. -
Another statement that is full of words but says nothing at all. Hasn't the problem always been "technical and procedural issues" with this case so nothing has changed at all. In other words, the statement is saying they have the money and do want to fund the club but cannot due to technical and procedural issues. Nothing has changed at all.

Rovers Rumours & Speculation

Venkys will never want to sell the club. They'll only sell if they are forced to. I despise them. -
v Middlesbrough (a) - 16/3/24
rovers11 replied to chaddyrovers's topic in Blackburn Rovers Fans Messageboard
Our fixture list may not be as bad as it looks. Bristol City and Sunderland have nothing to play for and are pretty average teams so they're the best type of teams to play at this stage of the season. Sheff W at home is very winnable if we have our full team out. Leicester will prob be up come the last day of the season so I could see them being on their holidays at that point. Cov will now have a fixture pile up with being in the semis of the FA Cup. They may even know their play off fate by the time we play them anyway with some tough games to come, so that could be a dead rubber for them. I don't see us taking any points from Ipswich, Leeds, or Saints though. They score too many goals for us to be able to grind out a result against those teams. We don't look like we have many goals in us right now. -
v Middlesbrough (a) - 16/3/24
rovers11 replied to chaddyrovers's topic in Blackburn Rovers Fans Messageboard
Another draw but this one is a good one. A very good one when you look at the results of our relegation rivals. Birmingham and Hudds fluffed their lines today. Both had very winnable fixtures. I thought they'd both be level with us come 5pm today. -
v Middlesbrough (a) - 16/3/24
rovers11 replied to chaddyrovers's topic in Blackburn Rovers Fans Messageboard
Our best half for a while but we haven't posed any real threat. Boro look a bit leggy with lots of loose passes. Could be a big day for us with other results going our way at the moment. We'll probably end up losing 1-0 though. -

That's the best starting 11 we've had for a long time. -

I think we actually may get a result tomorrow. Boro have not been great at home this year and we generally do OK at the Riverside. We had a rest in midweek whereas they had a game so I think we may nick a draw. Probably a drab 1-1. -
What a joke. Probably the best case scenario for Venkys. They can claim to still be committed and blame external circumstances for not being able to put money into the club. Meanwhile, we sell every and any player of any quality to cover "operational costs" whilst continuing to sign players from the fourth tier of German football and semi-pro footballers.

Relegation won't be a factor, they couldnt care less about that. Fan protests are not something that they care about either nor would they probably be aware of them happening. The only way Venky's ever leave is if they are forced to for political or economic forces that are out of their control. The Indian government are probably our best hope.

Sammie is going whatever decision we are in. He deserves much better than this shambles of a club. We won't get £10m for him though.
