Blackburn’s decline displays lack of realism from all sides

PlayUp

The world and its dog have descended on Venky’s following Blackburn’s relegation. Yet even as this is being done, I wonder if Blackburn’s fans should not ask some hard questions about their own ambitions. How realistic are they? I can understand their righteous indignation, but is it not time these fans realised that Jack Walker’s millions gave them a vision of paradise which is never going to be repeated?

As the old song went, for one brief moment there was a Camelot. And the Camelot of 1995, when they won the Premiership, is not coming back for Blackburn. They would be much better off having the sort of hard-edged realism that shapes Wigan and its chairman.
