Kane returns to Rovers on loan (From Lancashire Telegraph)

Knock the same sort of 35yrd goal in against the 6 fingered Burnleh scum sister bashers as you did against us and I'll be glad of you being back here too lad! :)

RTID

welcome back. get stuck into those mouthy Dingles

Good signing now can we have a big man upfront with physical presence
If we cant afford to buy one -try getting Matt Smith frrom Oldham on Loan he did well against Liverpool & Everton and could be another John Stead for Rovers.

We cant expect much if we do not attack especially if we are intent on the high ball forward. At the worst it will maek defences think at the moment they are not put under any pressure.

Dont leave out David Dunn on Sunday - he might not last the season but he has a lot to offer quality wise

Thank you Rafa we love you even if the Chelsea fans don't.

Hi Stick to football

Just need to dominate the midfield and the rest should hopefully take care of itself.

Will be an interesting team selection.

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.

If, as Reg suggests, Anderson has been breaking all sorts of rules and the FA agree that this is the case- what is the likely outcome? I can't see them being able to force Vankys out of the club. More likely they are fined. And the bigger the fine the more the damage to our club. And on a minor note I cannot see Kean being any more than a pawn for Anderson in all his subterfuge.

It's come to some thing when we are virtually pleading with well paid proffesoinals to put in a shift every once in a while.bloody disgraceful.

Lets stick to the football the resigning of kane is a backward step he was not much good first time around, this means that lowe will be back in midfield where he is useless why cant appleton see this? lets just hope he plays dunny and as the balls to pick givetif we lose on sunday i expect appleton to do the decent thing and go ,even if they win i do not believe he is the man for the job its time we went out to win and not settle for not getting beat.

I think Jones and Dunn will start in CM, that will be a nice mixture of bite and creativity. Dunn will tire after an hour and be replaced by Lowe to help defend our one goal cushion. Tomorrows lottery numbers will be 4, 7, 10, 19, 30, 42.

iN ANSWER TO THE L.E.T. I did post a comment but you would not publish it
yet it was quite innocuous and called upon the L.E.T. to support the fans in a total boycott of all games until this dilemma was resolved.

And exactly what is Jack Straw hoping to achieve? Of course Anderson took Blackburn and Venky`s for a ride but is he hoping to have our relegation reversed? He would do better to investigate whoever gave Appleton his coaching badges.

Personally, I thought Kane did quite well for us. He'll be up for Sunday.

That'll move Lowe into midfield with Jones and Dunn for the probing ball.

Not worth playing King if he's hamstrung, pace is his game, yes?

Bring it on.

Sounds good to me, Lowe anchoring the midfield winning the ball and giving it to Jones and Dunn to create and two wide men....so far so good! Only concern is defensively on Best's side but attack is the best form of defence!!

Brilliant news.

Go away Appleton.
