@Tom9495B @BRFC4Life @_ElliottJackson An Italy who were the best team in that tournament, on a 37 game unbeaten run and stronger than England all over the pitch (apart from not having a number 9 like Kane), great shout other than that

Totti doing Totti things!

@Rovers @WBA ‘from. from.’ The next time you do one of these (which won’t be long), do try your best not to make any of your usual typos 👍

[Liam Kinney @liam18kinney]

@OfficialASRoma That is honestly awful. The squad needs completely freshening up, but recruitment has been terrible for ages

[Liam Kinney @liam18kinney]

@allrovers_ It’s exactly what’s needed

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.

@Rovers Significant financial implications 😂 absolute corner shop operation

[Steven Blockley @Blockers21]

#rovers keep sharing it guys

[Liam Kinney @liam18kinney]

@BRFC4Life Wow, that original post is frightening 🫣 people like that will just never learn.

[Liam Kinney @liam18kinney]

Fourth time at the Olimpico #ASRoma #RomaInter

[Liam Kinney @liam18kinney]

@Rovers You really are absolutely pathetic.

[Liam Kinney @liam18kinney]

@_ElliottJackson A disgraceful decision from a ridiculous football club. One of our remaining proven Championship players off to a club who were non-league as recently as 2023. Oh for a change of ownership like they had

[We Are THE Rovers @RoversTrust]

So committed to open communication you:

- Ignore the MOU we signed
- Cut fans forum meetings, try and preclude people from attending by hosting them during office hours, and produce inaccurate minutes
- In those meetings refuse to answer simple questions
- Describe fan engagement by club employees as a “waste of time”
- Backtrack on last years fan engagement plan and do the bare minimum
- Remain evasive (at best) about the owners legal issues
- Beg journalists to “help you out” with positive spin
- Pass blame onto former employees and question their honesty and integrity
- Refuse to acknowledge any mistakes ever, let alone give us any confidence they have been learned from
- etc etc

[Liam Kinney @liam18kinney]

@adamsummerton Gattuso or Cannavaro would be mind boggling. To end up with either of those with the amount of top Italian coaches out there. It really is a shambles

[Liam Kinney @liam18kinney]

@SamBanno1 1-0 for Roma at Anfield it was! Should have had the chance to make it 2 with the pen ref changed his mind on….

[Liam Kinney @liam18kinney]

@Rovers That is mental. If you’ve a fan in the club shop wanting to buy a season ticket, just serve them in there. Oh, and don’t charge them extra for the crime of wanting to buy one in person

[Liam Kinney @liam18kinney]

👏 👏

[RoryLarmer @RoryLarmer]

After watching and listening to the commentary from @Rovers in the last few days, there is so much to say in a tweet. So did a video.
Great credit to Andy and Elliott also.
#EnoughIsEnough

[Liam Kinney @liam18kinney]

@Rovers You have absolutely zero interest in driving the club forward. That’s been obvious since the day that lot darkened our doors 15 years ago

[Liam Kinney @liam18kinney]

@Rovers Dread to think how bad we’d be without that ‘significant investment’ in January 🖕🖕🖕🖕
