The head of football operations Rudy Gested makes Blackburn fans a plea and says that “it hurts” is asked to keep away from the Ewood Park.
Blackburn fans ask him and other senior club officials to stay away from the games for the rest of the season.
A growing frustration among the supporters who are aimed at the property of the club and his management team, including the gesture, about the direction and management of the club.
Gesture, a former striker for Rovers who returned to the club in an administrative role, emphasized his understanding of the perspective of the fans and supported his own experience as a player.
He admitted how important the unity of supporters occurs, especially with only a few games in the championship season, since the team is fighting for a potential play-off place if it actually looks less likely.
Despite the request from the fans, gesture and other managers, including CEO Steve Waggott and Coo Suhail Pasha, have confirmed their intention to continue to visit games to support the players and employees, and demand the fans to gather behind the team during this critical time.
The supporters are dissatisfied with the leadership of the club, including concerns about the management management, the recent bad results under the new manager Valerien Ismael and uncertainties outside the field that are associated with property.
The answer from GETES reflects his personal connection to the club and the desire to bridge the gap with the fan base, even if the tensions exist before important games, such as the upcoming collision with Middlesbrough.
Blackburn Rovers fell on a defeat against Middlesbrough and tighten a bad form of shape under Ismaël. A point from six games, which leads to a widespread criticism of his management style and tactics.
The dissatisfaction extends beyond the property of the club, and fans demand that the VEKY sell the association due to long -term mismanagement.

He said: “It hurts because we have a good season. I think we are still close to the playoff, but we have this sound from the fans.
“We know that the core of the fans is behind the team behind the club. So we try to support the first team and the new head coach as far as possible to ensure that we can take the noise on our shoulder and play the players freely on the field.”
Interviewer: “Do you have an understanding of the frustrations of the fans?
Rudy: “In a certain make -up, maybe yes. I think you have a kind of frustration not to rise for so many years and try to express the best possible way. Most of the time it is against the board against property.
“But as I said, we are in a good position. We are still fighting playoffs, so we expect the fans to be behind the team at least.”
Interviewer: “Yes. You are very responsible for what happens on the soccer field. The VEKYS in their time brought almost 300,000,000 to the club, but then it seems to be quiet, neither forward nor backwards. What is the plan among you and everyone else to advance this club?”
Rudy: “The plan has always been the same that we are based on our academy, develop young players, give the chance and give them a way to the first team.
“So we will not spend 1,520,000,000 US dollars for the transfer market.
“We have to be creative the money in a creative way.
“And of course you want to play the highest possible level as a competitor.
“So we believe that this strategy will be able to fight for promotion in the next few years.”

Blackburn’s Valerien Ismael said after the defeat against Middlesbrough, via Sky Sports:
“I understand (the frustrations of the fans). It is not as if we are satisfied with the situation. We expected more results. I don’t take it personally. I know how it works in football. The coin has two sides. In the minute it is the ugly side, but I know that the other side of the coin is nice.
“I still think. I work with the possibilities we have. It is not as if we have a transfer window in front of us and can only compensate for all injuries. The focus is on the next game.
“I understand if we don’t win the doubts, but I don’t doubt myself. It is only a difficult time for everyone, for me, my family, but we stick together and concentrate on what we have to do better.”
Ismael said to BBC Radio Lancashire:
“If you don’t start the game properly and turn down 2-0, this is the big disappointment tonight. We wanted to play the end of the first and especially the second half.
“The players are the players to get more and faith out and dominate the game again. We had the chance to come back. At halftime I said we had to stay calm.
“It is not easy to deal with the next game, but the next game will be the chance to correct things and ensure that we learn from these situations. I said to the players if they give themselves the chance to take 0-0, their quality will end up with the difference because we have ended the game very strongly.”

Middlesbroughs Michael Carrick:
“It was an ideal beginning. You couldn’t really ask much better.
“Recognition of Blackburn, they made us work, it was never really dead. A goal would have turned around so that the boys stayed in there, really concentrated. A third goal would have been ideal to end it, but I’m really satisfied with it.
“Tommy (Conways) quality. He is still young, he still learns and he fits and still develops.
“I think it is really exciting. He was only here for a short time and when he played his gate to minutes ratio, he is quite impressive. The exciting part is that I think there will be much more.”
Carrick said to BBC TEES:
“Every game you try to go out and do the right things. It was the ideal start. I found it a fantastic goal and a really good move and I thought it was a damn end of Tommy.
“It brought us to a really good place. We caused you a few problems at an early stage and then we got the second goal, but the game was really alive all the time.
“We never really fully settled and I thought the boys did it really well to see it, and I was as satisfied with the defense as with the entire team.”
Enough is enough. The club dies because of ignorant people.#Brfc | #Rovers | #Venkysout pic.twitter.com/xpzzzzzzzmmigb

This is how Twitter users reacted when Rudy gestures applied for the Blackburn fans, and says that “it hurts” is asked to keep away …
@Browjd: Absolutely delusional – completely out of his depth
@Matthewstanger: Nobody asks the club to spend £ 15 to 20 million on the transfer market. You only ask for a not insignificant amount of 40 million GBP, which has been obtained in sales and sales in recent years to be reinvested.
@Catkins94: Comes from the guy who refused in 2015 to play a step when we were the club that gave him a chance and to meet his career back into the route
@Ghana3032: Rudy gesture was not in such an outstanding role in a championship club within 4 years of leaving the Vuck on my Bingo card.
@ambernatha: It hurts how my football club dies slow death, but they are not particularly shaped that they are?
@BackPostapin: Retired 3 years ago. Go straight to a big job. No, not fulfilling #rovers at all
@alwilkinson_: @Rovers The fact that he frustrated is stunning. Not a rudy, the reason why we are frustrated is what we have seen a city club that many families have followed for generations, a club that has thrived on honesty, dexterity and hard work and is now hardly recognizable
@Simonjojnfish: I will tell you what hurt damn. Witness of a proud club that was drawn to a laugh material by people with complete incompetence. How can you dare to get out with your “” hurt “that you have no idea what is hurt. Be gone.
@Rickmcgurty94: It is offensive to play problems as noise. If you still think it is a minority that is more unhappy, you fool you. Evidence in pudding, you can see how empty the floor is. Constant bad news and mismanagement for a decades and a half.
@Callumth0mas_: Basically, they said that they don’t spend anything and expect to produce young talents to get them up.
