@reluctantnicko How is he viewed internally Al? Some huge misses, but equally some hits to be fair to him

[Farrukh @implausibleblog]

Fiona Bruce, "Nigel Farage is facing questions about Reform UK's claim that he used money earned from appearing on a TV show to buy a £1.4m home"

"Last week the party told the BBC the Reform UK leader bought the house without a mortgage by using his fee from I'm A Celebrity Get Me Out Of Here"

"But his company accounts appear to suggest that his situation is more complex"

Joe Pike, "Nigel Farage bought this sprawling Surrey property in 2024 in cash as you say, there was no mortgage"

"Last week we were told by Reform UK he used the appearance fee on I'm A Celebrity to fund that house purchase"

"Mr Farage previously said the money from that TV appearance, said to be over £1m was put into his private company"

"Yet we and others have been looking into those company accounts today and they appear to suggest the income remained in the account after that house purchase"

"Now Reform UK have denied that Mr Farage used any of the unconditional £5m gift that he received from the crypto billionaire Chrstopher Harborne who has been living in Thailand for over 20 years, when buying that property 36 days after he had received the gift"

"They also point out that anti money laundering check were put through as the property purchase took place in March before the gift happened in April, with the purchase in May"

"Opposition parties have criticised Mr Farage to answer more questions"

"It's another example of Reform UK and Mr Farage becoming more prominent, doing better in polls and elections, therefore facing far more scrutiny over his finances and his background"

[Farrukh @implausibleblog]

Victoria Derbyshire spend 8 minutes taking apart Nigel Farage's £5,000,000 gift

"As you'd expect we asked Reform UK for an interview tonight. One Reform UK press officer asked: with who and to discuss what"

"We said we'd like to talk about the local elections, the detention centres in Green areas, and £5m gift from Christopher Harborne"

"We didn't receive another reply"

@_ElliottJackson Chicken feed mate, you’re doing a great job, keep at it.

Only signing on deadline day, Damien Johnson.

Hire a “Yes Man” to implement a project that has no business in football. Gave a manager who fails everywhere a three and a half year contract, and sack him without making it to a year.

Failed to act sooner due to the pure arrogance and ego of Rudy and Suhail.

Failed to buy the striker, maybe because the budget was used to pay off the manager. Or fix the pitch. Or settled a legal dispute because we are getting sued by the kit manufacturer.

It takes a special recruitment strategy to be incapable of replace Mahktar Gueye.

Suhail, Rudy and Adam Owens continue to bring shame on Blackburn Rovers. No decent manager will want to work at Ewood Park. Who is going to take orders from Rudy Gestede and Adam Owens?

Hope Damien Johnson gets a result or two. Pray for a miracle that someone keeps us up. And hope for a day that we are not run by egotistical sycophants who are completely out of their depth.

The are much wider issues facing Rovers than the managerial position, but I’ve definitely gone from the ‘who could do any more’ camp to ‘who could do any worse’. In terms of the here and now, and trying to stay in the league, change is needed. The whole team just feels lifeless.

Here is the full text of 🇨🇦 PM Carney speech in Davos earlier today. It will probably be the best of speeches there this year. https://t.co/1xRKzimHlf

[Danny Marsden @Danny16mars]

@_ElliottJackson So sorry to hear this pal. Your coverage has been excellent, objective, balanced, unbiased and considered. Always thought you’ve both highlighted the positives and negatives without prejudice. Been fantastic for the fans, who are often so starved with news coming out of the club.

[Danny Marsden @Danny16mars]

@Rovers. I love you, but I don’t really like you at the moment. Banning the press, and stifling free speech. Giving off strong Trumpian vibes.. not a good look.

[Paul Mason @paulmasonnews]

This is the radicalised mass base of Reform and the Tories - wearing our country's flag as a badge of white identity. Learn the lessons of the 1930s - to defeat them needs a militant democracy, radical change and a narrative of hope ✊🚩

[Danny Marsden @Danny16mars]

@_ElliottJackson Just a sell-on clause Elliot, or option of but back? Doesn’t take a huge jump of the imagination to see him bagging 15 a season with a run of games at League 1 level..

[GBE Expert Hub @GBEExpertHub]

Ryoya Morishita x #Rovers: Does a Japanese player from Poland qualify for a work permit?

#Rovers have used their final ESC slot on Moussa Baradji this week

As many have pointed out, a fee with Legia has been agreed so can it be taken as read that he gets GBE?

Let's dig into it

[Danny Marsden @Danny16mars]

@GBEExpertHub Really interesting on the ‘can they’ but there’s still the ‘should they’! Seem like they both play broadly the same position with multiple CMs already.. need a winger!

[Danny Marsden @Danny16mars]

@reluctantnicko Thoughts on what this means for their Travis pursuit?

[dave lawrence 🐟🐟🐠 @dave43law]

🤣🤣🤣🤣

[Danny Marsden @Danny16mars]

@_ElliottJackson @Champchatpod24 Incredible how we’re back in a situation where you’re gunna need 50 points again. Didn’t look anything like that a few weeks back

[Ryan Hildred @bav_aled]

Unbelievable performance given the last few days, the recent form & the opposition. Arguably performance of the season. So proud of these players. Gueye looking every bit the no. 9 & I'm so happy to be wrong! Trav the beating heart of the side as ever. Venkys Out! #rovers

[Danny Marsden @Danny16mars]

@blackburnrovers @_ElliottJackson @bav_aled Great podcast as ever chaps. Thought Ryan was spot on with his summary of emotions - a bit like feeling the 5 stages of grief simultaneously. Impossible not to feel slightly abandoned by John, but the rot starts at the top.

[Danny Marsden @Danny16mars]

@_ElliottJackson Not sure how I feel about this one Elliot. If he felt like he’s now said, why didn’t he just go in January? Why wait for Derby to come in? Seems convenient. But at the same time, can’t argue with his reasoning.
