He does not have a plan A forget about a Plan B

We have been beaten in so many of the games that he has been in charge of before we have even set foot on the pitch.

Playing 4 4 2 with Dunn and Pederson in midfield to Millwalls 3 was insane.

We have not command the midfield at any stage of the games that he has been in charge of reflected in the little amount of chances that are being created especially for Rhodes to RUN onto.

Are the players that gutted when you consider their lack of effort, particulary in the first half when passes where continually going astray and there was no real effort to win the ball?

The failure though, was not entirely down to our players when the tactics were to keep hoofing the ball up front to a superior Millwall back line. MA is looking like the government chancellor in having no plan B and he seems to have found a copy of SK's bulls*** manual

There also has to be questions asked of the first team coaches who appear to have de-skilled the players (e.g. poor ball control) and also de-motivated them. When are we going to see a committed 90 minute performance from our boys?

Things are not looking good for Sunday!

As the hugely inspiration Appleton says:

"We may have lost an oppertunity which will never come along again - to get to Wembley".

Gotta admire the man's aspiration.

That's not wot Appy thinks???

He said "some of my players are not hurting as much as they should be"

Ummm... We could not beat Peterborough or Millwall at home and they are down the bottom....So Burnley who are ahead of us...??

Why are the players in deep pain? The best team won over the two games.

Is luck the only thing the team can hope for in the closing season?

The club has now got inferior owners, inferior board and I hate to say it an inferior Main man, the Manager. Added to that the power struggle between Singh and Shaw, both don't know their 4rse from their elbow on top football matters. The club is at least a division above it's station at the moment.

One lucky win won't put that right, If the dumb smucks had put an experienced Man in charge when they had the chance, the current players would be good enough for where they are and to build on next season.

martin jol denies danny murphy is going back to fulham, god how much more bad news can we take!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!?

THE MYSTERY SURROUNDING THE RUNNING OF BLACKBURN ROVERS AND THE PART PLAYED BY JEROME ANDERSON.

Sports minister Hugh Robertson and former home secretary and Blackburn MP Jack Straw are pressing the Football Association for a response to concerns they have raised over Blackburn Rovers decent into chaos since the club was taken over in November 2010 by Indian poultry conglomerate Venky’s (VHPL).
Jack Straw (pic above) who has been MP for Blackburn since 1979 and became home secretary following labour’s 1997 General Election victory, is so incensed by the FA’s failure to provide answers to questions that Robertson put to footballs governing body last July that he plans to raise the issue in the House of Commons.
The FA since the beginning of 2011 have been examining events at Blackburn in the months following the £26 million VHPL takeover.
On January 4th that year the ‘OLD’ board of Directors wrote to Venky’s matriarch, Anuradha Desai, asking her to clarify what, if any, part had been played in Rovers transfer policy by one of the country’s leading football agents, Jerome Anderson, through his agency, SEM, of whom soccer pundit Charlie Nicholas is a consultant.
That letter, which is in the public domain, also raised concerns that the board were “not even being consulted on some of the most fundamental decisions this or any other football club ever makes”.
These included the sacking of former manager Sam Allardyce and the appointment of Steve Kean as his replacement. Kean who is represented by Anderson and SEM, was already working at the club as first team coach, having been taken off the dole que and given the job by Allardyce in August 2009.
Anderson (the man who ruined Blackburn Rovers football club) and SEM deny that they have acted inappropriately or in breach of the FA rules.
Seven months on Straw is still awaiting their reply. Sports minister Robertson and Straw are understood to find the ruling bodies failure to respond “baffling and unsatisfactory” and Straw is requesting an adjournment debate so he can raise the issue in House of Commons as a matter of wider public interest.
Documents seen by Nick Harris, investigative reporter for the Mail on Sunday suggest that Venky’s openly admitted knowing little if anything about Football when they bought Rovers. They relied instead on a number of advisors both formal and informal.
Anderson said in a televised interview, broadcast by Sky Sports News on January 10th 2012 that he had spent the whole of January 2011 at Blackburn working on club business.
In that interview Anderson said that during the January 2011 transfer window (having got rid of Allardyce) “I basically slept at the training ground for the whole of January and helped the club in so many different areas.” He explained that this work included bringing in new players. He added “we actively scoured the market and were fortunate to bring in two very talented players. Mauro Formica, who has gone on to become a Argentinian International, and a Spanish under 21 International, Ruben Rochina.” Anderson did not go on and enlarge on all the ‘dross’ he also signed wasting Millions of the Venky’s money.
Anderson Lawyers say he did not receive any payments for work he carried out in January 2011 “other than those which are fully documented with the FA for transfer dealings in which he was involved as a agent in bringing new players to the club and would ordinarily have been entitled to a fee”.
In November 2010, at the time of their purchase of Rovers, Venky’s entered into a long-term agreement with the Swiss-based Kentaro Group, who were hired to act as consultant’s to the owners.
Anderson’s company, SEM, have had a corporate partnership arrangement with Kentaro since February 2009 and Anderson is listed by Kentaro as a member of their senior management. Raising the question is there a ‘conflict of interest’ that is against FA rules. Anderson however denies any involvement in Kentaro’s day to day running.
David Newton the FA’s head of integrity, wrote to Blackburn on March 2nd 2011 asking questions about Rovers relationship with agent’s, and what roles, if any, they had in club business. Which would be illegal and against FA regulations.
The club replied 14 days later saying that no such arrangements were in place either formal or informal. Which goes against both the document seen by the Mail on Sunday and Anderson’s January 2011 Sky TV interview. But the letter from Rovers then secretary, Andrew pincher confirmed that Venky’s did have an arrangement with Kentaro under which Kentaro provides consultancy services to VHPL in respect of Football related business.
FA sources say that while they have jurisdiction over football clubs and agents, their authority over parent companies, such as VHPL is less well-defined.
With Rovers affairs now attracting the concerned interest of senior politician’s, the FA ability to govern all aspects of the professional game may again become a subject of even closer scrutiny in the corridors of power.
I could save Jack Straw and Sports Minister Hugh Robertson the bother. The answer is quite simple and straightforward and I have been telling everyone on this site for the past two years. Quite simply Jerome Anderson and Steve Kean allegedly carved up Blackburn Rovers in their own interest.
What Jerome Anderson did to Blackburn Rovers tantamount to ‘pillage and plunder’.
Anderson was put into a position of total power. A football agent running a football club is unprecedented in the history of football, never mind the Premiership. But this is what he did. This is the point behind Jack Straw’s letter to the Sport’s Minister and FA.
To achieve this Anderson had first to get rid of Sam Allardyce, who would not under any circumstances have worked with Anderson. Having got rid of Allardyce, and who can ever forget Mrs Anuradha Desai live on Sky Sports News issuing the statement in December 2010 following Allardyce’s sacking “Blackburn Rovers should be in the Premiership’s top four and playing in Europe and do not play entertaining football and I like to be entertained”. I wonder where she got that statement from ? ‘ NOT ROCKET SCIENCE TO WORK OUT IS IT.
Anderson then allegedly engineered the departure from the board room of John Williams and Tom Finn.
With his own man, Steve Kean, now in place the task was simple. Anderson was at liberty to sign and sell what players he wanted to, with Steve Kean no more than a ‘nodding dog’. Anderson even signed his own son, Myles, and put him on a Premiership contract. Players came and players went. I won’t go into all the transactions, they are well documented and numerous. Never has a football club been plundered and pillaged to such an extent. Even Sir Alex Ferguson at Manchester United is on record as saying Blackburn Rovers problems and the sacking of Sam Allardyce are down to “the whim of a football agent”. Although Ferguson stopped short of naming names.

Where did you get that from Reg, because I read something similar about 12 months ago.

Digging up old, unproven tripe based on suspicion and conjecture just muddies the water.

I believe the FA found nothing wrong, if they had we would be penalised, just like other clubs.

Fines, points deductions, relegations, etc; etc.

So even though we are up **** creek without a paddle, we don't appear to have done anything illegal.

p off Reg - you were boring and full of p and wind last time you haunted these blogs and seems nothing has changed.

Seconded

Dear Reg Rover this statement is libilous the FA did investigate the takeover by Venkys and found nothing wrong and the Premier Leage chief Executive Peter Scudamore told press that Venky the Indian Poultry company passed the Premier Leage financial test easily and Venkys have provided the Premier League with the financial guarantees required from every club a safeguard put in place after the Portsmouth went into administration in 2010.
Venkys have fulfilled the future financial guarantees and passed the owners' and directors' test .Venkys have behaved themselves as owners of clubs as what PL requires of them.
Scudamore met the Venkys family before the aquisition of the club to get from them the neccessary guarantees of funding.Venkys told Scudamore this is the money we have got ,this is the source of funds,this is where we are going to put our money and this is how much we are going to invest.Break even not losing lot of money is not a good plan.
The Premier League have rules that takes them so far as the new owner of football club are asked about having funding to keep a club alive as the PL never test new owners whether they have enough money to create a Premier League Champion.
A good run club with no debt like Wolves was relegated and West Brom fantastic run football club was relegated twice.
Venkys were not aware that the club coud be relegated.
Shebby Singh told BRFC fans that Blackburn Rovers are in a better position financially than most of their rivals.Financially health wise in a better off than most clubs in the Championship.They are managing the club finances really well.
Venkys are here for a long haul, there were reasons why they bought the club and it is a long term investment.

Anybody who believes that hoofing the ball upfield was part of Appleton's game plan obviously doesn't understand football as wmuch as they think they do. Millwall's game plan was to close our players down quickly, to put them under pressure. That didn't give them any time to play the passing game, they had to clear the ball out of danger. This happened in the first game too but there's not really a lot a manager can do to prepare his team for this. Appleton's reaction to every long ball was not that of a manager who'd instructed his players to do that. Perhaps if we'd had fitter players who were willing to do the same to them we might have created a few more chances ourselves.
