A collection of Blackburn Rovers’ supporters groups have called on senior club officials to stay away from the side’s remaining games this season.
The fan groups want chief executive officer Steve Waggott, head of football operations Rudy Gestede and chief operating officer, and representative of the owners, Suhail Pasha to not attend any of the final eight league matches.
The groups believe their absence could result in a more positive environment for the team to perform in.
Wanting the best for the club, they took to social media to voice their concerns.
Frustrations
In a statement on X, they said: “Supporters’ frustrations have grown due to concerns over the management of playing assets, declining match-day attendances and reports of executive pay increases during a period of serious uncertainty for the club.”
Many Rovers fans also believe it is time for new ownership at the club after nearly 15 years under the Venky’s group.
In reply, the club issued a statement of their own on Friday.
“Blackburn Rovers acknowledge the statement issued this morning by members of the fanbase and welcome their collective call for unity during the closing stages of the campaign,” it said.
“With the prize of a place in the play-offs and a chance for promotion to the Premier League at stake, unity and a positive atmosphere at matches will be crucial in helping the players and coaching staff achieve success on the pitch.
“As part of their professional duties and commitments to the club, Blackburn Rovers’ senior leadership group will continue to attend games – representing the club and showing support to the players and coaching staff for the remainder of the season.”
