It looks like it is close to 80k that they are saving on those players. I've seen the following site mentioned by a few neutrals as being the most reliable when it comes to player wages: https://www.capology.com/club/blackburn/salaries/ Assuming the above is correct, Brittain and Batth are already on 10k a week. If the whisper about a self imposed 10k a week limit is true, then we can see why Batth and Brittain haven't signed new deals so far. Forshaw has come in and is on 10k according to that, whilst Travis is supposedly on 3.4k. It has often been said that they have a different wage approach when it comes to Academy products. Dolan on £577 a week sounds ridiculous for a Championship first team regular, but it is believable under this setup.

It is Eid on Saturday in India, for the Muslim population living there. It's likely he has gone to spend time with family there over Eid. Alternatively, it may be that Glen's regular updates to Pune have prompted them to call him in for talks. If it is the latter, there are only one of two things he could say to them that would be acceptable, in my view: 1) Either, he tells them "I'm out", as the pressure is getting too much for him. This would leave them in limbo, "confused", and push them closer towards the exit door, IMO. 2) Or, he advises them to call it a day and sell up. Nothing else is good enough. All this talk about developing Academy players, giving them 3,000 minutes and selling them on is for the fairies. Big Sam even said as much to Rudy's face, when he told him the Academy shouldn't be the main focus. JDT wanted experience for a reason. As did Eustace and as will Ismael. You win eff all with kids, quite simply. If they want to play the numbers game, fine. Here's one for them. It has been 4,770 days since we were last in the Premier League. 4,770. Why don't they find some shame regarding that stat? Do something about it or piss off...is my message for those in Pune and for Pasha. They aren't arsed about that and many other football matters...so the message is clear. Piss off. Regardless.

This Plymouth link smacks of another Silvester type appointment. He was also previously involved at Liverpool. If I was to have a guess, I'd say the same people who 'found' Silvester back in 2011, are the ones trying to link this Plymouth fella to the CEO vacancy here. No thanks.

There are whispers that Amorim has offered to resign behind the scenes, JDT and Eustace style, as he's not happy with how things are being done there. They aren't going to have much money to play with (relative to their rivals). They will need to move players on and Amorim is expected to turn things around despite all of the chaos. Sound familiar? There are quite a few similarities emerging between the situations at United and Rovers for me. I don't think the state of both clubs today is a coincidence. We can't make direct comparisons, but in relative terms, the decline of both has been stark. Both are an absolute shadow of what they were (I don't mean us being champions). Both have utter clowns at the top who don't give a shit about on field success. Both are being laughed at and are left constantly embarrassed before the football world due to said clowns. Agents have been the winners at both clubs this past decade plus, whilst the clubs turn to crap. Pears to United? You must be joking. (They are welcome to him). Amorim even mentioned Rovers the other day, when he was trying to drum up hope for the future at United. I was surprised to see him bring us up, but he is feeling the heat over their awful League position. It really was a deluded point he was making, given how bad they look. He said something along the lines of there being clubs in Premier League history who were struggling one season, but who then became champions the season after. He cited Leicester as one example, which was correct. Mentioning us in that context was wrong though, as we built up to our title win over a few years. They were very lucky that the bottom three was so poor this season, otherwise they were in real danger of going down. Their club needs serious change at the top, much like ours does. It still bugs me that Wilcox is there. He can work for whoever he likes, I know. It doesn't sit right with me though based on our history. He's working for the 'enemy' as I see it, in a football sense I would love for them to go down next season though and if they do, it will be for similar reasons to why we have gone down (twice) under this lot.

He expects it to be an external appointment, Chaddy, based on how normal clubs would operate, but that doesn't necessarily mean it will be an external move here. It could easily be any from Rudy, Jagdish (Balaji's son), another family friend who knows nothing about football, or somebody with the right agent connections.

Silvester. Broughton. Waggott. JDT. Eustace. The fans The players? Who's next in the fall guy queue? It's only a matter of time before this shit show completely falls apart. I've said it before but...Yasir, Rudy...if you are reading this...do yourselves a favour. Nobody is succeeding at this club under this shit regime. Look at the past 15 years at this football club and tell us why we should be content with this ownership? Use your own brains and get that crap about us wanting a repeat of 1995 out of your heads. That's a false narrative deliberately being put out there to discredit us fans. Ask around Blackburn, Yasir...which Rovers fans do you know or speak to, who want Venky's out, because they want the Shearer and Sutton days back and the spending of the 90s to return? You know that's bullshit, we know that's bullshit. Rudy would do well to start grasping that. Know, that it's Pasha's exit we are after. It's him and the owners we have a massive issue with. Blackburn Rovers does not recover until Pasha and Venky's are gone. If you want to back Pasha and do his bidding, that's up to you, but you then become a part of the problem. On Waggott, of course I'm glad he has gone. This has been a long time coming. He he has played his part in the dumbing down of this club and the lowering of expectations. From day one it was clear what he was about, but many out there convinced themselves into believing he was a good appointment because he wasn't Shaw or Agnew. What a ridiculously low bar to operate from, but once again, this all goes back to the actions of those at the top. We've been making do for 15 years based on the sad rationale that the new appointment/signing/coach/whoever is less shit than the previous incumbent. Standards are on the floor at this club and there have been two constants throughout all of this. While I'm pleased with Waggott's exit, it changes nothing in the overall picture. You're next, Pasha.

Is that quote from May 2012 or May 2017?

Rovers at Goodison:

There's a famous saying in Jamaican culture that translates as: "He who does not listen, must feel". No matter what their yes men try to portray over here, it's obvious they are starting to "feel" over in India.

Absolutely. One of the good guys throughout this whole charade. When we do have new owners one day, it would be good if we could do something, as fans, to thank Henry for standing by us and for speaking the truth. I have to say though, Gav, please spare a thought for all of the potatoes out there that are turning to liquid right now at the mention of Henry Winter. Imagine being a Rovers fan for 60 years, experiencing all the ups and downs, living through the horrible Anderson/Kean/Venky period, and then seeing Henry Winter consistently bat in your favour for 15 years, regularly fighting your corner. A rare hero throughout this dark Rovers period, no? Or would your immediate response to a Rovers win, a day after Henry pens another supportive piece be: "Where's Henry Winter now!?" Like some six year old kid that can't handle what Horrid Henry is saying? One by one, they will all trip themselves up. That process has already started.

"The Venky family do not get the respect that they so clearly deserve for their loyalty and continued financial support to Blackburn Rovers Football Club" Craig Honeyman, former SEM Agent. 2022. Oh yeah? Let's see how much respect there is for them in the coming weeks, shall we, Craig.
