Black wants a run to banish the Ewood blues

7:20am Saturday 27th October 2012 in Sport Photograph of the Author By Chris Flanagan, Sports reporter

ERIC Black believes Blackburn Rovers need a run of home wins to banish the divisions of the Steve Kean era and restore a positive atmosphere at Ewood – insisting promotion can only be achieved with a happy fanbase.

Rovers host Watford in the Championship this afternoon as their managerial search continues, with global advisor Shebby Singh revealing that he expects an appointment by the middle of next week.

The club are currently conducting interviews with potential candidates but are yet to make a final decision who they want to replace Kean.

Blackpool boss Ian Holloway, who is said to be disillusioned with life at Bloomfield Road, remains among the frontrunners and yesterday refused once more to rule himself out of contention for any of the current vacancies in the Championship.

It is understood he is not yet completely out of the running for the Burnley job.

Harry Redknapp is still believed to be interested in joining Rovers, but only if he receives an offer he cannot refuse.

Rovers have seen a slight increase in attendances in the two games at Ewood since the departure of the unpopular Kean, but they lost at home to Wolves and caretaker boss Black admits players and fans still showed signs of anxiety in the midweek win over Sheffield Wednesday.

The Scot thinks that is a hangover from the Kean era, when home matches were the scene of continuing protests against the manager, and knows it will take time for the nervous atmosphere around Ewood to disappear.

But Black insists that unity will be vital if promotion is to be secured, and thinks home victories now will do much to speed the process.

“It was very difficult for the players at Ewood, especially for young players,” he said of the Kean era.

“It’s trying to get back to where we feel we’re going to win games at home.

“We may not win them all but we need to be feeling that we can win games and we will win games there - having that belief and getting the supporters to believe that.

“But that’s not going to happen overnight. There’s been a fair bit of negativity as we know surrounding the club, it’s not going to be a click of a switch and it’s not going to happen tomorrow morning where everybody’s happy and let’s carry on.

“It’s going to take time and we have to prove to the supporters that we’re moving forward.

“It can only be resolved by performances like on Wednesday night when we dug in.

“I hope they’ve seen that the players worked exceptionally hard to get the victory.

“Without doubt we need the supporters, I don’t care what anybody says.

“If Blackburn don’t get the supporters back on side, with us and shouting, then we’re not maximising what we have.

“To get out of this division you have to maximise everything at your club internally and externally.

“The number one factor is the supporters and hopefully we can do enough to get them back with us.”

Rovers were still watched by only 13,783 against Sheffield Wednesday but Black feels that it is a tentative atmosphere rather than a lack of numbers that is the main cause of concern.

“I don’t have a problem whatever it is, whether it’s 3,000, as long as we can generate a positive atmosphere about the place and get the supporters back on side,” he said.

“But I thought on Wednesday they really did get behind us.

“The players became a little bit anxious in terms of possession of the ball and that then goes on to the supporters.

“It’s not the supporters that start it, it’s maybe just our anxiety which upsets them a little bit.

“Any negativity that is remaining, we need to try to get rid of it.”

The club currently expect to appoint a new boss reasonably swiftly but probably no earlier than Wednesday, as they speak to each person on their shortlist.

Singh is understood to be interviewing the managers on the list who are out of work, with managing director Derek Shaw making approaches to clubs to speak to those currently in a job elsewhere.

Stop messing about and appoint Ian Holloway, we all know he's the only decent manager who's actually interested in coming to Rovers.

Black sounds so much more intelligent than that previous guy! Lets hope we can get three points today. Massive game. Fingers crossed we get someone in next week. Just hope he has the knowledge and passion to inspire this squad to promotion. Hope Dunn is back soon we need his passion and imagination... Maybe now others might stand up and play with pride for this great club. No mercy. Com'on Rovers.

We would all like to get back to that winning feeling. I certainly don't agree with Black blaming the animosity of the Kean era for the nervousness at Ewood, Kean has gone and good riddance. What is causing the nervousness is what we all recognise, and maybe after a month of p*ss ars*ng about, Singh recognises is that we need an experienced manager and tactician. But let's get to Ewood and raise the roof and get behind the boys.

Ewood say that! says...

It's a perfect day for watching football so get yourself down to Ewood and cheer the lads onto 3 more points.Despite the poor performances another 3 points would put us in a handy position for a new manager coming in.
As fans we need to hold our nerve today as our anxiety does spread onto the pitch, and behaviour like booing Murphy's introduction aint going to help.
To Eric Black's credit (I would be happy to see him stay on a the new manager's coach by the way as I think he's been spot on with his apprasials of Rover's weaknesses) he dropped Murphy to the bench to give him the kick up the derrier that he needed.Could do with doing the same to Dixon Statue...sorry Etuhu.
By the way have I missed something?Where is Nuno Gomes?

Last week you accused him of beating his girlfriend up.
No charges brought and no caution would suggest you made it up which probably resulted in Colin spending a night in the cells.

The 'negativity' is still at Ewood not caused by the fans but by the 'willy nilly' approach in Managing the Club both from Managing the Players, Managing the appointment of an experienced Manager and his own coaching staff and Managing out of the club Keans cohorts of Black and the totally embarrassing Hendry - sooner all these situations are Managed well sooner the negativity will disappear!!! And after this is all done hope that we can Manage Shaw, Agnew and Shabby Shebby out of the club as well!!

If any of us in the real world appeared in press articles like Hendry has around this and more seriously around it wasn't me just someone who looked like me recent arrest and our employer was named we would probably be sacked for bringing the company name into disrepute. I remember Colin as a player and a leader on the pitch, but those memories are tarnished by recent events. But Hendry is symptomatic of Rovers at the moment and shows that Agnew and Shaw obviously find this acceptable. Jack Walker wouldn't of that I am sure. Certainly agree we need a manager who will rip through the deadwood in the coaching staff but Venkys need to think long and hard about their executive infrastructure because it isn't working.

After the last 18 months, I can totally understand the continued negativity, but I've been impressed with Black's appraisal of the situation, honest, intelligent and forthright. Everything that Kean wasn't. Nevertheless, many of the comments about Black can't see past the fact he worked for Kean. I'm afraid that the damage caused by Venky's and Kean means that the negativity at Rovers might be terminal and nothing will assuage the fans; except the exit of Venky's, which isn't going to happen any time soon.

Lets concentrate on the footie.....nice cold sunny day in East Lancs I believe, so a perfect day for football and for shouting the Rovers onto victory. Three points today in-front of a half decent crowd will help the situation tremendously. Especially when we are getting the new manager in by midweek - whoever that may be. Allez les Bleus.

How long do we have to put up with Hendry standing there with his Rovers shirt on saying he cannot pay his debts back,its embarrassing .
Look Hendry stalker. If you're that obssessed with colin hendry and the scottish sun. Move up scotland so you can have it delivered by 7am and stop posting ure sheite on here.
Last week you accused him of beating his girlfriend up.
No charges brought and no caution would suggest you made it up which probably resulted in Colin spending a night in the cells.
I know you like to follow him round with your binoculars but you need just as much help as he does. Get a life. your obsessive behaviour is bordering on persecution.
Ru insane , still on Rovers payroll I see ?

you still bullying people to do what you demand ?
Calling people names because they think they should all be sheep , you think people who are angry on what happens at Rovers , should just get along to the games ,keep their mouths shut and spend their hard earned money ,buy the pies and all will be well.
Are you a maybe you are more than a Rovers employee with a vested interest in the north west chicken industry , I happen to know the old people that Hendry unscrupulouly swindled their life savings out of , I know the pain they old people HAVE BEEN going through, these old folk have lost their retirement nest egg by believing in HENDRY`S LIES. ..
Oh for gods sake man, okay lets have it you way, lets feed your deluded paranoia.
My real name is Foghorn Leghorn and I'm chief PR agent for Venky Chicken ( European division )
I get up early every morning at daybreak to do my cocka doodle doo and then get right on down with some funky chicken aerobics. After a bit of scraping and seed pecking I lay a few choice free range eggs on here. These eggs like little seeds grow into big ideas. They then hatch and record your every move. Once enough info has been gathered we all meet back at the Mother Ship for a debriefing and a bit of a barbie. We plan to take over the entire world.
NeeeeHAHAHAHAHAHAHAH
AHHAHAHAHAHA.
Look at me ma,I made it, I'm top of the world. And you thought I was just that big dumb bird off sesame street, all the while I have been brainwashing kids to repeat after me. If and when I start singing, one of these things is not like the others, everyone in the world who watched sesame street will become a venky chicken zombie just like Hendry and bring back eggs to the Mother Ship. Okay so agent colin got a bit confused and instead of bringing back an egg he brought back a nest egg. People make mistakes. He has been reprogrammed and will now only bring back eggs to the mother ship. Move on or be deleted.

google "scottish sun" today read more about that clown Hendry. an disgrace standing there wearing the Rovers shirt.
Stick to football. Stop knee jerking and fostering your own agenda. You have no idea what went on. only the tripe you read in the papers. And after the Sun performance over Hillsborough you should really know better. Blase commentators like yourself were the sort who found Alice Nutter guilty on nowt but hysteria.
Your not one of them Demdikes are you Bazzer..? Spot on with your comments by the way. Lets concentrate on the footie.....nice cold sunny day in East Lancs I believe, so a perfect day for football and for shouting the Rovers onto victory. Three points today in-front of a half decent crowd will help the situation tremendously. Especially when we are getting the new manager in by midweek - whoever that may be. Allez les Bleus.
Frenchie..I am taking up with some of your more cautious optimism. Nothing like a grounded out 1-0 win in my book. More solid than the 5-3 at Bristol City goalfest!

RUInsane makes Kean sound intelligent.

Singh still wants to appoint his own lapdog and is the only one blocking the appontment of Holloway. Singh is paid £400k a year by Rovers.

Paul Agnew is still employed by Rovers. As is Colin Hendry.

Venky's still own the club.

Will the nightmare never end?

Bill Carson says...

The first 10mins v Sheff Wed were excellent but it defies belief how Rovers struggled to get out of their own half for the remaining 80mins? The simple ability to hold the ball and find a pass was embarrassing to say the least. A second goal would have calmed things down but it was never going to happen by aimlessly punting the ball to Jordan Rhodes, he's skillful but not a target man. He needs support before the £8m price tag becomes a burden (remember Kevin Davies!)

I protested, I marched and boycotted to rid the club of SK, now I'm back. The only thing that disappoints me is that many have failed to return...

"But I thought on Wednesday they really did get behind us"

We will ALWAYS get behind the team Eric, we always have. We boo-ed Kean because he didn't have the good grace or dignity to step down earlier when it became obvious he wasn't up to the job and had lost the confidence of both players and supporters. But we have ALWAYS supported the team and always will.

Shame on the minority that boo players, those who boo-ed murphy as he came on should be ashamed, probably the same" supporters" that leave a match early when we're losing, as we the ones who attended throughout this whole fiasco have supported the team throughout and let our team know we're behind them.

I have always been a glass 'half full man,' but even I am not optimistic about the future with Venkys' here.
I suppose the new managerial appointment should tell us something about their ambitions, or otherwise, for the club.

We 'll never get 25' 000 gates at Ewood, we're not big enough.
But if we can get back to 18'000 gates which is a minimum that we are capable of pulling in then we've fond well.
But the gates won't improve until Ego Singh gets off his high horse and let's the club appoint a good manager and then the club can get get done direction back.
As for atmosphere, that will only improve when we, us the fans, start to see the players giving 110% for 90 mins and looking like they give a f..k about the club and earn their overpaid salaries.
Then the fans will get right behind them and start to make Ewood a fortress again.
It's not rocket science.

Do you mean to say that there are really only 3000 boycotters and the rest were just Premier \League Glory Hunters. Does this mean the dingles were correct and that we are just as small as they are. Or are the boycotters under orders not to return so that Rovers can be bought on the cheap?

Just to illustrate the point trueblue, wednesday night, last 10 minutes, Jason Lowe got a fantastic ovation for the ground he was covering to close down the pposition. (and running past a team mate or two to do it !)

The crowd can see who is putting in a shift and who is hiding.

Maybe setting the team up in a positive manner with two up front and more support for Rhodes would get the fans excited and on the teams side. I have seen nothing to fear in this division so far and in so many games like Leeds, Charlton, Ipswich away we have taken the lead then sat back and got the inevitable draw, when we could have quite easily been sitting top of the league with a little more positive play

The crowd can see who is putting in a shift and who is hiding.
Not too many seasons ago it used to be a sight when rovers were not playing too well watching Paul Dickov fly around the pitch closing down defenders and making things happen.
The crowd sees it, roars approval, defenders get nervous and punt it long then we get possession back and attack again.
It's only a little way towards winning a football match but it helps and works.
You've got to start somewhere.
Sourness used to say that once you'd won the midfield battle you controlled the game, it's true and we need to dig in and start doing it.
That's why we need players like Jason Lowe closing down the opposition... Local young lad who cares... Coincidence!!

Of course they were Premier League glory hunters. Gates fall at every club when they are relegated, so why should we be any different?

We should never be expected to sheepishly believe everything that comes out of any owners, especially ones who have demonstrated such incompetence in running a club such as our current procurers. On the flip side, it is also naive on the part of those who believe the great conspiracy of agents and corruption - as if that isn't part of normal business practice!

Even the most ethical of businesses have consultants and agencies that make a mint out of acting as go betweens. Miles Anderson getting a contract because of dad? Hardly newsworthy. Just look at every government and public establishment, from councils to government where family members move up the ladders garnering huge salaries without question let alone hysteria.

On the whole, people like me and you with the "glass half full" philosophies see the much bigger picture than the constant naysayers and doom mongers amongst us.

I would be jumping up and down in exitement if Harry was appointed. Do anything you can to get Harry, he will ask for lots of money and extras to become manager but it is worth it, because he is the only candidate that would get us straight back up.

Do you mean to say that there are really only 3000 boycotters and the rest were just Premier \League Glory Hunters. Does this mean the dingles were correct and that we are just as small as they are. Or are the boycotters under orders not to return so that Rovers can be bought on the cheap?

No I won't actually because whilst I said I was still attending games and routing for the boys, the amount of abuse I got was like sky news after 9/11. And whilst all the so called boycotters were bigging themselves up on here saying we attenders were the minority the solidarity shown by the boycotters was winning the day. In reality there were only a couple of hundred of them and the rest were just Premier league glory hunters which, as I seem to recall, is exactly what I said they were. So you would have been better to say in your post. RUinsane, we know you are always right as history has proven it so, but will you stop going on about glory hunters. To which I will reply, certainly sir, when the rest stop going on about Agnew Hendry and Singh, I have no problem with that at all. :0). Until then, I am going to be as annoying as they are.
As far as me showing a distinct lack of football nous, I honestly think I could convince shebby to give me the managers job. All I would have to do is say that I thought his idea that Ryan giggs should play centre half with ferdinand was astounding and also that Messi doesn't bring a lot to the table as far as being a team player. I think we would get on great guns. Is it too late to put my application in?

I think the reasons there are fewer fans and no sponsors down at Ewood Park as nothing to do with BRAG or any organised boycott it is down to lots of individuals being fed up and annoyed at what as happened to our once wonderful club. The Blackburn Rovers I supported for 39 years as been destroyed. I for one do not what anything to do with Venkys Blackburn Rovers. The owners are clueless chicken farmers, a Malaysian TV Pundit making the decisions, no experienced manager, coaching staff who have no idea how to train footballers, a squad of players who are so unfit it beggers believe. Until the owners show some knowledge or interest of how to run a proper football club I cannot see the majority of fans or sponsors returning.

Do you think her glass is half full, Regular Publicity for the brand, pulling in a few quid, keeps those mad brothers out of the main business, or does she think the whole thing has been an absolute disaster, ripped off left right and centre, nothing i'm told sems to make any sense, wish it would go away ?
good question.

Safe to say anyone who believes Desai is stupid is being naive if not downright foolish. She hasnt presided over a global conglomerate with the turn over it generates without having a little nouse about how business is conducted

That said, to say they have either taken really bad advice or shown massive incompetence in the handling of their tenure at rovers wouldnt be an understatement. The reality is though, Rovers will be a very small fish on the Venkys plate and whilst the relegation and Kean's departure might have caught ntion, its highly doubtful Desai spends much time worrying about matters at the club, let alone how to find more ways of stripping it as the doomies on here often allude to.

Rovers is a brand advertising vehicle to Venkys and not much more. oh sure little brother wanting to own an english club might have a little to do with it, but what Rovers is worth to the owners as a successful premiership club playing and competing against the big clubs far outweighs the millions they could/have stripped from owing Rovers I believe. Its obvious to all that they have made mistakes with employing agents and allowing the likes of Kean to fool them into believing he could deliver success on a budget. Its the premiership stupid, it was created by money and survives because of it. Venkys may have, learned that fact at a cost - shelling out 8m for Rhodes AFTER relegation sure does suggest this - but I still think they have a serious shock coming to them if we ever make it back to the premiership, what winning a title costs in todays money (ask Abramovich and the Qataris!).

But we have ALWAYS supported the team and always will. Shame on the minority that boo players, those who boo-ed murphy as he came on should be ashamed, probably the same" supporters" that leave a match early when we're losing, as we the ones who attended throughout this whole fiasco have supported the team throughout and let our team know we're behind them.[/p][/quote]Agreed blueblooded, but the sad thing is, "This whole fiasco" is still ongoing. I have always been a glass 'half full man,' but even I am not optimistic about the future with Venkys' here. I suppose the new managerial appointment should tell us something about their ambitions, or otherwise, for the club.[/p][/quote]But a little caution and doubt is a good thing is it not hsb? :-) We should never be expected to sheepishly believe everything that comes out of any owners, especially ones who have demonstrated such incompetence in running a club such as our current procurers. On the flip side, it is also naive on the part of those who believe the great conspiracy of agents and corruption - as if that isn't part of normal business practice! Even the most ethical of businesses have consultants and agencies that make a mint out of acting as go betweens. Miles Anderson getting a contract because of dad? Hardly newsworthy. Just look at every government and public establishment, from councils to government where family members move up the ladders garnering huge salaries without question let alone hysteria.

Dangerous Dave , you`re not allowed to post on any subjects unless the big mouth bore RUinsane gives it the O.K.and approves your comment.
RUinsane must be posting around 20 comments a day , and of course the old adage in this case is very true "empty vessels make the most noise".

Dangerous Dave we agree with all you say , one post from you makes more sense than 100 posts from RUinsane.
Hello Ronnie me old mucker, the difference between my posts and your two posts is this, mine a varying and different and yours just say Hendry singh agnew venky out. Is that the only language you know? are you cave men?
hendry singh agnew venky out UGH. I mean you actually admit to reading the scottish sun. Anyway what about this article here.

Where your pensioner mates wife starts shouting abuse at Hendrys daughter for looking at her at a family function and then her husband rabbit punched Hendry in the back of the head whilst he was talking to friends leaving him on the floor. I must say Hendry showed a lot of restraint after being floored by a punch that he never saw coming. Its okay though colin and his daughter were the opitamy of dignity and let the police sought it out. As I say, two sides to every story and your stalking is becoming obssessive.

yes I know all about that incident ,and there was nothing to sort out because nothing happened ,there was a statement by Hendry a proven liar ,and two witnesses one his daughter ,the other his girlfriend , his daughter threatened previously to finish off the old couple, and her comment was to the old couple "if you step into Lytham again you will very much regret it and I will end it for you both " also Rheagan Hendry she ran a so called charity that was unregistered by the charity regulators, and still no one knows where the money for that charity went, if you read www.colinhendrylies.
com it will confirm she makes stories up and that is fact ,the other witness was Hendry`s girlfriend , who is well known around Lytham ,and well known amongst all the footballers usually younger ones than Hendry , anyway the police will know her quite well after all it was her who phoned up the police to report Hendry for violence last weekend , anyway so this incident there was 3 witnesses Hendry/his daughter /his girlfriend and even though the restaurant was full and the place was full of cctv cameras there was only a complaint by Hendry and these two females , the police could find nothing on video or any credible witnesses that seen anything even though the place was crowded , and no one was charged or nothing done about it, if you had bothered to read the Scottish Sun it was all in there .The police were considering charging Hendry and his daughter for wasting police time.
A few days after that incident Hendry came running over the road to confront that old lady she had set off a rape alarm to get away from him.
This is all documented in the newspapers in the "Scottish Sun",read it all there,and had your story been true of these old couple assaulting Hendry they would have been charged.

Anyway RUinsane , I wish you would leave this old couple alone ,they simply need a friend to stand up for them , Hendry and his daughter used every available effort to discredit this decent older couple ,purely because the old couple were going public on Hendry lies he told them to borrow their life savings and I make sure people know the truth about it all , the Hendry propoganda wagon will not work against these people they are a genuine and decent older couple..
Don't you realise how successful your campaign has been? Now ESPN has dropped hendry so now he can't work for them. You may think great he deserves it but hang on, if he can't work he can't pay it back can he?
So in effect you are cutting off your nose to spite your face.
I have nothing against anyone and I want Hendry to pay it back too. So why not let him work and give him the chance to do so?
Makes more sense to me.
