Owned by Chicken farmers from Pune
Managed by Judas
In debt way past their eyeballs
On the edge of oblivion
Clinging on to past glories like a jilted man hangs on to the skirt of his Jezebel ex-partner ! (Trouser leg if you want to be PC about this

)
Fans who have left in droves
Have someone like Saxo as their fan spokesperson
It really is the pits !

Apparently that Yank isn't interested now.
Funny though, watching them all hopelessly prostituting themselves yesterday when they thought he was keen.
Back to 'boycotting' I guess.

As your allegiance today (Friday) seems to be with Liverpool FC rather than BRFC why do you continue to deprive the other half of the city of your footballing insight?

They keep saying this period is the worst they've been, but it's usually said by someone who only remembers the Walker era.
If they drop into league 1 then league 2 is a real possibility.

When you conisder around 89% of blackburn fans got into football in 1992 you would say this is the worst it has ever been by miles for the poor little bandwagon hoppers

They've a hard working family from India bankrolling them in excess of a 100 million quid!
Ok.
They may have made the odd mistake along the way, but personally, I really can't understand what they're moaning about.
We've never had such generous benefactors.....
Though do admit, our board haven't made as many mistakes. ....

Even when they were in the third tier previously they were nowhere near in the financial mess they are in now... so I would say it probably is their worst time in their history... as it is with Bolton and probably half a dozen other clubs.

One thing I find...when they were on top I used to take the bantering with good grace, water off a ducks back so to speak.
Can't say the same for them, a few characters I know really can't take me winding them up at all.
One guys I used to work with regularly gave me plenty, we have nearly come to blows on several occasions recently

...he is really hurting.

"Apparently that yank isnt interested now."
He's probably had a look at Shadsworth on Google Street view.
That'd scare any sane person off.

Leaves the way open to Saxo and his mates to empty their Piggy Banks and make a cheeky bid

I think they were probably worse off immediately pre-Walker in that they had no state of the art training ground/ academy, a ground that was falling to bits, no benefactor and potentially no future. It's utterly gobsmacking to see how they've squandered those 100s of millions and are now on the verge of collapse.They do have some saleable assets at present though, and for the moment at least a v generous benefactor.

I guess so nil but they hadn't got delusions of grandeur. Now it is like a nouveau rich family suddenly being destitute again. They've lost the knack of living cheaply.
