What a way to kick off 2026. It 2025 is anything to go by, we are in a for another abysmal effort of running our club.
2025 in review.
Eustace walks in February after a disastrous transfer window. Woodrow and Dennis were two of the worst signings we have ever made.
This time was pivotal. It divided Ewood Park. Senior players made their minds up at this moment.
Women’s Team was pulled and was covered nationally and via The Athletic/New York Times.
“Every question that anyone asked on the call was met with ‘We can’t speak about that yet’,” a source said. “They were unapologetic. They said not to speak to anybody, we were still under contract. It was like speaking into a vacuum.”
According to sources, the club initially planned on announcing the news via a statement on social media at 4pm on Tuesday, almost immediately after senior management were told of the decision, but agreed to first-team coach Simon Parker’s request for a delay in making the decision public so that players could be informed personally and not find out about it on social media.
Our Ladies team is now bottom of Division One North.
Having lost 0:12 and 0.13 to Burnley during the season.
Steve Waggot left his post shortly after the Ladies team debacle. In my opinion, he was done taking the heat. As Suhail said in the Fans Forum, it was the owners decision.
Alan Nixon, who is the number one communicator from Ewood Park, a freelance journalist, stated the new CEO role was “watered down”. No actually Chief Executive wants to be dictated to by Suhail. Who’s only interest is himself and if the Issa brothers send him a birthday card.
Mass Redundancies throughout the club.
In August banned Ismael from talking to the media. Same thing happened in 2024 with the previous manager JDT. Not the New Year’s resolutions we want you to keep.
Lewis Travis sold - no adequate replacement
Callum Brittain sold - good replacement
Dom Hyam sold - no adequate replacement
Harry Leonard sold - no adequate replacement
There is an obvious lack of leadership and quality throughout the squad. We face another Summer of upheaval with players leaving.
Valerian Ismael tells Rovers TV that the squad is stronger than the start of the Summer. This tune has now changed.
September Game Called Off against Ipswich.
Lancashire Telegraph was banned from Ewood Park. The pathetic nature of the first statement led to another hours before the game against Charlton. Amateurs.
Cheap and cheerful was the order of the day to celebrate our 150th anniversary.
Jersey leaked on a third party site. What better way to sum up a celebration.
Blackburn Rovers Supporters call for a boycott. The club decide to ignore and boycott their own fans.
Sheffield Wednesday game abandoned.
Alan Nixon is back to tell us that the pitch was looked at by Specialists. Thank god. The club then said the same thing. Taking no responsibility. Thank god for Alan. Wonder who leaked that, excuse the pun.
Anniversary shirt is announced on the Monday after Christmas, after the anniversary and will be debuted in our 151st year.
Report Card
Raos- F - They have no interest in Blackburn Rovers
Suhail Pasha F - A virus to Blackburn Rovers
Rudy Gestede E - A couple of good signings give him an extra grade. He hasn’t replaced the leadership or quality. And is still incapable of protecting assets with new contracts.
Yasir - F - Season tickets, 150 anniversary and anniversary kits were pathetic.
Rob Gill - F - Another year of embarrassment in the media. As many statements as home wins. Banned the local media.
2026 Wishes
Suhail Pasha leave and takes the rest of his buddies with him.
New CEO given the attomoney to do their job
Investment to the Ewood Park Pitch
Survival this season
The Raos sell
The club is spiralling into oblivion. I expect a few leaks of transfers within 24 hours of this.
@AldiUK purchased this cat food from your store other week after using a couple of pouches come across damaged packets and maggots/casters. The box had the tear in when I bought it and I thought nothing of it. Would appreciate the help/refund
