I’m not expecting you to share but are you privy to what the financial target is? I’ll certainly share any ideas I have but I wouldn’t go holding your breath 😀😁

Thank you for all your efforts. On the bit in bold - has the club indicated to you that they’d be open to suggestions?

Mika - Grace Kelly

To be fair, the below does sound similar to the travails of a modern day Rover’s fan… Psychological symptoms of heroin addiction: Feelings of shame, guilt and depression. Hopelessness and despair. Impaired ability to concentrate or focus. Poor judgement. Confusion and disorientation.

A large portion of good marketing is common sense and knowing your customers. That’s why you (and possibly even I) could do a much better job than the current incumbents.

Was there a representative from ‘modern day’ Rovers?

Just to add - those ‘staunch habits’ are probably the only reason our crowds are still as ‘high’ as they are.

He certainly sounds like he’s read all the corporate bs books (or more likely all the ebooks 😄)

That’s because it’s about ‘converting supporters’ (the below being from the linked interview with Mr Read)… What challenges have you encountered while integrating digital solutions in a traditional sports environment? How were these challenges overcome? The biggest challenge is converting supporters who have staunch habits. The approach we take is to educate and demonstrate how they can enhance their experience by moving more digitally. We use video-guides, FAQs and have staff available to support this transition and it seems to be working. ‘Seems to be working’ 🤨 https://www.lasource.io/news/digitaltransformation-blackburn-rovers-football-club

Elvis Presley - Love Me Tender

Macy Gray - I Try

I don’t My phone makes calls and does texts (old school innit)

Artful Dodger - Re-Rewind (The Crowd Say Bo Selecta)

Deacon Blue - Real Gone Kid

Let me know if not and I’ll send more…

The main point, I believe, is not digital being an option but it being the only option.

Why does it matter whether we’re keeping up with other providers??

We need more information before we can decide that. What sort of sandwiches?

Maybe they’re on about his time at Liverpool and Chelsea. Or more likely they’re just talking absolute bollocks.

Fun Boy Three And Bananarama - It Ain’t What You Do (It’s The Way That You Do It)

Barry Manilow - Could It Be Magic

Quote from their sporting director (sounds very Broughtonesque)… He has an excellent and well-founded reputation for developing players and he is an outstanding progressive coach, who is aligned with our playing identity and naturally fits within our structure alongside Mike Dodds and the wider team."

Whilst understanding the motivation for this idea, it’s extremely likely fewer people would sign than would not. He’d be certain to spin this as showing the majority of the fans having confidence in him.

Yep - see below…

He’s 69, he should just fuck off and enjoy (or preferably endure) his retirement.
