Rory Larmer @rorylarmer.bsky.social · 26/07/2026Rovers still made a profit last year in terms of transfers received vs spent. The problem is adequate quality and experience from those fees spent. Rovers are now worse than last year with many rivals improving. 010 1

Rory Larmer @rorylarmer.bsky.social · 03/06/2026Yeah I get the feeling that Suhail would like a Bilic type. Curwood would like DC and Rudy/Owen would prefer a foreign appointment. All seems a little muddled which suggests lessons haven’t been learnt. 000 0
Rory Larmer @rorylarmer.bsky.social · 03/06/2026Would I be right in thinking there are three strands of thinking in the boardroom on who the should appoint. Suhail, Curwood and then Rudy/Owen. All three would probably like different styles. 000 0
Rory Larmer @rorylarmer.bsky.social · 20/05/2026Would presume many of the managerial options that Rovers would attract would have a few black marks against them. Billic and Martin included. 000 0

Rory Larmer @rorylarmer.bsky.social · 23/08/2025Again Alan. There is no need for that. It’s very very reasonable to want the team to win but also think the ownership and the COO are a basket case. Which they are. There is no debate about that surely. The Championship is long and gruelling, and will the signing we are playing Russian Roulette. 000 0
Rory Larmer @rorylarmer.bsky.social · 23/08/2025So you think what has happened in Ewood Park is normal? Women’s Team, Waggot, Eustace, Indian Courts, JDT, O’Brien, McGuire. And that’s only a few. Not to mention nobody signs a new contract. But yeah, Rovers fans have an agenda. As you said, do me a favour. 000 0
Rory Larmer @rorylarmer.bsky.social · 23/08/2025Again, this not a fair characterisation. Nobody in their right mind wants their team to lose. Surely the problem is why nobody wants to commit. The issues at the club are there for all to be seen. Framing fans that are concerned, and correctly so is wrong. Only my opinion. 000 0
Rory Larmer @rorylarmer.bsky.social · 23/08/2025With all due respect Alan. You have said multiple times about losing experience. One win today doesn’t change the concerns a Rovers fan would have. Rovers are a continious basket case behind the scenes. You know that more than anyone. We will be in the exact same position in 12 months. 030 3
Rory Larmer @rorylarmer.bsky.social · 22/08/2025Fair enough. The worry is goals. None of the signings suggest goals are coming. Unfortunately the esteemed COO confirmed in the recent Fans Forum that fee’s received will not be reinvested. Doesn’t bode well. Distinct lack of leadership and experience throughout the team. 000 0
Rory Larmer @rorylarmer.bsky.social · 22/08/2025Objectively, considering the players who have left Blackburn Rovers, and how they replaced them, would you deem this window a success? 000 0

I am all for taking your time but it is clear they had no succession plan and even though it has been clear that JE would leave, there was no planning done. This was the ideal week as it was a clear week to get the new manager in and give time to work with the players. 121 2

Rory Larmer @rorylarmer.bsky.social · 18/02/2025Makes sense. Obviously they do not have a preferred option like Eustace was a year ago. Would you expect movement on the search this week. Seems to be very quiet regarding potential targets. 000 0
