WEC Group chief in Blackburn Rovers meeting (From Lancashire Telegraph)

Wayne, i hope you can hold your breath for a long time.

Hopefully he's threatened to pull out of future deals if Kean isnt removed immediately.

Even the press are finally starting to question how this man still has his job.

DEPUTY CHIEF EXECUTIVE sorry Wayne no disrespect but to hold a meeting with the monkey instead of the organ grinder to me dosnt make buisness sense

Stand Up If You Want Kean Out!
.
Simple, effective and no doubt as to how many are joining in.
.
33rd..........

stand up ,if you want kean out
stand up ,if you want kean out
stand up,if you want kean out
stand up ,if you want kean out

I think Mr Wild would not get a meeting with the Venkeys, he is not high enough up the Indian caste system to merit it.

your gonna be bombarded mr wild ,i just hope you get some sense out of em ,please keep us fans informed
thank you .

WEC should just pull out immediately and have nothing more to do with them.

stand up if you want kean out...

Come on guys, you have been screaming for some dialogue/any dialogue, so don't be too cynical. He has got Paul Hunt to meet him and given he is the highest you can get to (excluding the 'great one') before getting to Venkys at least its a move in the right direction and should be applauded. It may well be that this will not lead to anything, but that is not Waynes fault.
What is important is Hunt has been given a task, so he has to deliver in some shape or form as it is public and media knowledge.
Keep pressing Wayne.

Stand up if you want Kean in....
.
He is doing a fantastic job - long may that Indian bird keep him at his desk, he is without a doubt a hero.
.
Watching you set of no-marks marching and mis-spelling protest banners on dirty bedsheets is priceless.
.
Venkys are Clarets

So, on the one hand we have Mr Wild, a Rovers fan of some 30 years standing, who invests in our club, who is attempting to find out for us by acceptable means what is happening to our club, and on the other hand the usual bunch of Steve Kean hating muppets (with apologies to Kermit and co) whose only contribution to any discussion will forever remain the same.
.
Good luck Mr Wild, you are going to need it.

I too have spoken to Paul Hunt in recent weeks and he seems a decent, intelegent bloke with his feet on the ground and knowledgeable about football matters in general and Rovers current problems in particular.
.
HOWEVER, its not him that makes the decisions, its Venkys and I have no faith that they will even listen to the concerns of Paul Hunt, let alone act upon them.
.
I feel the only way forward (if change dosent happen) is for ALL season ticket holders ( I have 30 straight seasons worth) not to renew and ALL sponsers to cut their sponsership at the end of the season.
.
Next season I think Rovers fans should only go to AWAY fixtures (and at least in the Chumpionship there are alot of northern teams and away ticket are cheaper).
.
Venkys said they wouldnt come and watch games live again until the atmosphere is improved - I would urge ALL Rovers fans to give them stick every time they have the cheek to show their disgusting faces round here.
.
My message (and hopefully the message of the majority of our fans) is SELL UP & SHIP OUT because you will NEVER be welcome in Blackburn EVER EVER AGAIN !!!!!!!!!

Good Luck Wayne.

Hope you can get an answer from the chicken ****@rs.

JC, I understand what you are saying but could you do that?.
.
In the cold light of day and all anger aside could you throw 30 years of loyal support away?
.
I was going to do that when Alardyce became manager, but I stuck it out watching the worst football my club had ever played in the 39 years I have been supporting them.
.
Real fans don't desert their club whatever happens to it, we have been relegated before, for a Club our size it is almost inevitable.

Trouble is, it isnt "our club" anymore, is it ??

I am saying that I WILL go to games next season but NOT the home games - I will make an effort to support my club in AWAY matches only and therefore will not line these disgusting CROOKS with any of my money - if you don't agree with me then fine - you give these scummers your money.
.
I don't think this makes me any "less of a fan" - I will do this unless things change at Ewood whether we get relegated or stay up (and I expect 1000's of historically loyal season ticket holders to do the same).

.
As long as there is a Blackburn Rovers I will be at Ewood.
.
The problem is that I am not all that sure if we are relegated that there will be a Blackburn Rovers to support anymore.

Accrington Stanley could do with the support until this mess blows over.

Does anybody else think it is perverse that so much time, effort and money has been spent debating this issue when we as a nation are an hairs breadth away from civil unrest, financial meltdown, and war.

What about Wayne Wild to join the Board of the club as the fans representative?

A breath of fresh local air and honesty amongst all the yes men.

No, football is much more important, well Rovers are anyway.
.
The financial situation will eventually sort itself out, Rovers will cease to exist if they are relegated because Venky's have (allegedly) already taken the parachute money and run.
.
And if that is the case forget Portsmouth, Leeds, Charlton, this is a whole new ball game.

i really don't see it being that kind of apocalyptic scenario at all. there is no evidence to suggest it would be the case.
granted, venky's seem to be doing a lot more harm than good at the moment, but there is no reason to assume the outcomes are anywhere near definite yet.
i completely agree that the solution should not include boycotts of home games and requests to local investors to leave until venky's sell. intelligent and non-aggressive protests are completely understandable in the current circumstances. i would urge it not to be before or during games, but other than that i have no desire to stand in anyone's way.
it's the the often disgusting comments on message boards, which are ill-informed and even less well thought out that depress me. we are performing pooly on the pitch from a defensive point of view, and we are performing poorly off the pitch from an infrastructure point of view. these are not insolvable peoblems, though. even by the current owners and management team. there is no point giving ultimatums and declaring all is lost. i much prefer what mr wild is doing - taking constructive action and attempting to open dialogue.

Bookies odds end of season position 17th or above even money, 18th or 19th 4/1 20th 3/1 which suggests bookies still think we will stay up which is perverse considering they have us odds on for relegation with wigan suggests that money is being put on us to stay up make of that what you will

Keep pressing Wayne.

Speaking to Paul Hunt isn't the achievement you make it out to be. There is no "dialogue" here. Our "Deputy Chairman" is just a message boy for the owners in abentia. The Venkys are far far too busy to deal with such a trifling issue.

No criticism on Wayne, but he has simply made the same headway as any one of us receiving a promise from Paul Hunt that he will call back.

Here's the likely transcript of the first few follow up calls:

1. "Sorry Wayne I haven't heard anything yet"

2. "Sorry Wayne I haven't heard anything yet"

3. "Sorry Wayne I haven't heard anything yet"

...........Hello Paul, now that we're in the Championship I won't be renewing m sponsorship.

Hear, hear - cracking idea. If Venky's had any nous they would jump at the idea.

So venkys wont be at the games,nothings changed there then

lets get real and start looking at the road atlas or set the gps for such wonderful venues as,doncaster,Millwal
l and peterboro.then next season start preparing for Rochdale,MKdons Scunthorpe etc, because when NOT IF,we will be in free fall, it is OK to say we have been relegated before,the football planet has changed since then and we are about fall off it

I think their is a lot of evidence to suggest that it IS an apocalyptic scenario. What we all must understand is that the owners are still with the manager despite results and have actually given him a new contract. The only conclusion I can come to with that is they don't mind about football results being bad, something else determines how good they judge the manager to be.

Now I don't know what that something else is, but let's assume it is the sell on value of the players is higher than what he paid. He is often heard to be saying the value of the squad is more than it was last year. If that is the case then maybe that's how the owners perceive how good he is.

Let's face it the results aren't going to get better, so if we stick with him, EVEN in the championship, then this could turn it to a tragedy.

Heres my theory:

Steve Kean and the Roa brothers are gay

The Roa brothers came to this club to watch young men run around in shorts.

Kean is sucking some onion bahji to keep his job.

He angers thousands of straight men on a weekly basis and doesn't see anything wrong with it.

Anybody any idea were I can watch tonight's game on TV? I note that the Arsenal v. City game is live on Sky?

It's not on TV anywhere? Not even in India?

Welcome to Championship football. If we're lucky in the future Steve Claridge and Leroy Rosenior will treat us to some rapier-like tactical analysis when we've achieved first game status on the middle of the night Football League Show.

owd nick...... Cannot understand your reasoning..Events are completely different from your reference to Allardyce(who kept Rovers in the Premier League). ....Relegation avoided last game of Last Season(and would Venky's have rallied and become so concerned that Rovers had been relegated) I think not...We are bottom this season and are in a relegation battle... Total bo!!ocks regarding money for Transfers from Venky's and their treatment of established senior staff........I cannot relate to your comment..... Surely real fans do need to get a message across whatever it takes

Rovers had no money under the Walkers. Williams did an absolutely brilliant job keeping us in the PL on a shoestring budget.
.
Granted Alardyce kept us up, but at what cost? to me and many others his tactics were obscene and not what I wanted to see my club playing whatever the league we were in.
.
Added to that Alardyce did not want to manager Rovers, his oft quoted opinion to anyone who would listen was he was too good for us.
.
Venky's came in and promised the moon, but we don't know what demands Alardyce placed on Venky's or for that matter vice versa, whatever happened he was sacked, good riddance in my opinion, and I am actually entitled to an opinion.
.
Kean, for whatever reason took over but the promised finance and players simply did not materialise, in the meantime our experienced players continued to pick up injuries, Kean had no choice to bring in youngsters who have generally played quite well.
.
We lack PL experience on and off the field, against Stoke I think we had 5 young players on the park and 2 or 3 on the bench, this against a very experienced PL side, there was only ever going to be one result.
.
I know I am likely to attract a storm of abuse but Kean really doesn't stand a chance in hell under circumstances like that.
.
It isn't the fans fault, it isn't the players fault, Keans teams try their damnedests to play football and win, but we don't have a Colin Hendry, we don't have a Robbie Savage, we don't have an Alan Shearer.
.
The fault is Venky's, no-one else's, they need to deliver their promises or explain why they cannot, that is all I am asking.

Well at least we agree on something.....I think that the Walker Trust(Non-Trust) acted appallingly in their readiness to 'rid' themselves of of the club......Venky's have been and are a total disgrace.... Still cannot agree with your comment Re Allerdyce.....When Man City were managed by different managers in the Prem League(before the present 'money bags 'situation) and ,even under the guidance of Stuart Pierce their football was much like 'Allardyces 'much to the annoyance of many City fans..However,You cannot play top 6 type football without real quality/standard of player (ref: City now/Blackpool,attemp
ting to play attactive football last season 'that we all liked' ).
Kean needs nearly 3 times the so called £10m that Venky's are supposedly making available to him in the January Window(which I don't believe).....If tactics don't change then it will be defeat after defeat no matter how atractive you play the game

The fault is Venky's, no-one else's, they need to deliver their promises or explain why they cannot, that is all I am asking.

Well at least we agree on something.....I think that the Walker Trust(Non-Trust) acted appallingly in their readiness to 'rid' themselves of of the club......Venky's have been and are a total disgrace.... Still cannot agree with your comment Re Allerdyce.....When Man City were managed by different managers in the Prem League(before the present 'money bags 'situation) and ,even under the guidance of Stuart Pierce their football was much like 'Allardyces 'much to the annoyance of many City fans..However,You cannot play top 6 type football without real quality/standard of player (ref: City now/Blackpool,attemp
ting to play attactive football last season 'that we all liked' ).
Kean needs nearly 3 times the so called £10m that Venky's are supposedly making available to him in the January Window(which I don't believe).....If tactics don't change then it will be defeat after defeat no matter how atractive you play the game

The 10 million is probably in Rupees.

I too have spoken to Paul Hunt in recent weeks and he seems a decent, intelegent bloke with his feet on the ground and knowledgeable about football matters in general and Rovers current problems in particular.

HOWEVER, its not him that makes the decisions, its Venkys and I have no faith that they will even listen to the concerns of Paul Hunt, let alone act upon them.
.
I feel the only way forward (if change dosent happen) is for ALL season ticket holders ( I have 30 straight seasons worth) not to renew and ALL sponsers to cut their sponsership at the end of the season.
.
Next season I think Rovers fans should only go to AWAY fixtures (and at least in the Chumpionship there are alot of northern teams and away ticket are cheaper).
.
Venkys said they wouldnt come and watch games live again until the atmosphere is improved - I would urge ALL Rovers fans to give them stick every time they have the cheek to show their disgusting faces round here.
.
My message (and hopefully the message of the majority of our fans) is SELL UP & SHIP OUT because you will NEVER be welcome in Blackburn EVER EVER AGAIN !!!!!!!!!

JC, I understand what you are saying but could you do that?.
.
In the cold light of day and all anger aside could you throw 30 years of loyal support away?
.
I was going to do that when Alardyce became manager, but I stuck it out watching the worst football my club had ever played in the 39 years I have been supporting them.
.
Real fans don't desert their club whatever happens to it, we have been relegated before, for a Club our size it is almost inevitable.

What do real fans eat for breakfast?
