CROSSROADS ?
As
the new season fast approaches and I start some new "Rants n Ramblings"
on both my beloved Blackburn Rovers & Denver Broncos , I thought I
would do a joint ramble. It will be done in no particular order as both
provoke high end emotion levels from me as some who know me will no
doubt back up.
The
running of both teams cannot be at further ends of the spectrum.
Broncos (I seem to recall reading ..correct me if I am wrong ) are
currently the 26th richest sporting "franchise" in world sport whilst
the Rovers are amongst the worst run in sport . Broncos are negotiating
serious million dollar contracts whilst Rovers are run by clueless
bungling buffoons ( to put it politely ) who have racked up well over
£100,000,000 of debts and cant now pay transfer fees and only pay up to
10k a week in wages.
There have been some similar out of season goings on with of the top players at both teams in close season with Demaryius Thomas and
Rudy Gestede both causing unrest and not caring for fans. DT got sorted
and got himself a "lifetime " deal and Rudy still wants out of Ewood
Park.
Both
teams I think are now at the crossroads of their current plights. What I
mean by crossroads is that Denvers crossroads is Life After Manning and
Rovers is just surviving . Denvers problems will be the same next year
as it will
be the turn of Von Miller to sit at the big money contract table. I
have a feeling also that this will be Manning's last season , I would
love to wrong though. This will open a bit of cap room. Then the next
decision will be do we run with Brock or do we bring in experience at
Brock's expense.
Rovers
crossroads is however more stressful for us fans the way things are
going we could very very easily be put into administration which for a
club of great history is beyond comprehension. In my old blog I said how
the Venkys were slowly killing us and alas nothing has changed . Its a
heartbreaking situation we find our selves in and its a disgrace . No one
gives a rats arse either which is upsetting. The Venkys have taken us
from the 8th best team in the English Premier League to a stage where
our very existence is at a perilous stage.
Where will we be this time next year.
Best
case scenario . Broncos win the Superbowl and possibly a Manning
retirement into the sunset and Rovers to get shut of Venkys and the
rebuild goes full force.
Worst case scenario..No Superbowl and no Manning or Von. Rovers to go completely bust.
