It seems a very odd way to exact payback!

I think, at least I hope so, that most people are laughing at the owners and their total ineptitude rather than the club itself.
I can't work out if that is a joke or not. If it is, it's quite funny. If it isn't, it's one of the most ridiculous things I've ever read on here.

I think the owners where hoping we would have all defected to Blackburn Rovers FC, and we would be eating their chicken from various outlets in the UK.
Truly embarrasing for every single die hard Blackburn Rovers supporter. It's another example of bad foreign ownership. Thank god for Bloom.

That all looks horribly familiar.
Just when you think you can't be any more grateful to Mr Tony, yet another reminder of the past comes up to haunt us.

It seems along time ago that a third of the world was wearing Blackburn shirts

I actually remember them interviewing the owners before they took over. The presenter asked them if they had ever visited Blackburn before, the answer was no. Just about sums up the whole deal to me.

In YOUR opinion.
In fact, the comparisons are startling when you consider how the change of power to Stanley and then Archer took place, with that then the gradual decline of the club and it's infrastructure.
Ewood Park is in an area of Blackburn which would benefit from redevelopment.
You are so very very wrong.

My Blackburn supporting colleague just pointed out to me that, had our game v Blackburn not been rescheduled and gone ahead on the original date, we would have faced Berg's side

Anyone who lived through our problems and still laughs at Blackburn fans having to watch their club be destroyed, is a cock.
Yes I do find it funny Blackburn brought the Premiership with hoofball so what goes around comes around but I also feel sorry for the fans they have been shafted royally by the total incompetency and money focus of the rulers of football in this country. However I think the comparison with ourselves fails because the fans don't appear to be doing anything about whilst watching their club go down the drain, to get the backing of other fans they need to take more action direct and indirect.
On the Venkys they are an odious collection of parasites who could not manage their way out of a paper bag, having worked with Indian companies they have no idea how to run a company their communication is woeful. The fans need to take action now to avoid becoming the next Pompey.

The Blackburn fans did start protesting when Keane was manager.

The plan was too promote Blackburn Rovers back in India as the next Manchester Utd, and also use it to promote their products in the UK.

To be fair, that could well apply to most of Blackburn in respect.

I hope it's free range. I presume that advert was aimed at the Indian market, because I couldn't see that working here.

Let's hope the supporters can take the club back.
When you compare us to many other clubs now, we are a different class. May be not on the pitch yet, but the organisation of our club behind the scences is brilliant. It's all set up for the future.

I think the reason people can laugh at this is because the owners aren't TRYING to ruin the club. They are just TERRIBLE at running it. They didn't know they could be relegated (apparently). They said they wanted Champions league football and would give the manager a 'huge' budget of £10m to achieve this. They did no research into the club. It's actually quite funny as a general story.
We were being destroyed as a club, Blackburn is just being rubbish as a football team.
Obviously I feel sorry for the fans as it would drive you mad and the moment their existence comes into question (i cant see that happening) it wont be funny any more, but at the moment, whether it's right or wrong, I can't NOT snigger at the sheer delusional incmpetence of their owners.
