VENKEYS GET OUT OF OUR CLUB

Whilst I totally agree that we need a strong manager (maybe Souness) I also would like to see the Venky's departure, but. Where would we be then? Although completely incompetent, it's their money that's keeping us afloat. The solution would be to get rid of Shaw Agnew and Shebby the snake... And appoint one director with a proven record (forget J Williams he would never work for these clowns) then hire a manager with a proven record. Venky's could then step back and watch the phoenix "rise from the ashes"
Problem is... no-one can talk sense to the Venky's... They just don't listen...

Short term pain, long term gain. Simple! I would go as far as to say it is DIS-loyal to the club to allow the situation to continue.

Hi maltese blue and white

Why do we not want rid of Venkys now? It's going to come to an inevitable end sooner or later. why prolong it? They have no intention of taking the club forward , even if they were capable, they've had plenty of chance to do that.
Get rid of the B'stards now and start again. I think they'll be off next season anyway when they see the size of the 'crowds' on the ground. If they were shocked this season, they will be next.

Because without anyone to take over (forget BRAG/BRITSIT they couldn't raise the money) we are losing around 2 mil per month.. whilst the Venky's stay the banks will chase them for the monies.... If they don't pay they not only lose face but all credibility throughout their many ventures... So my guess would be that they in a corner as much as we are... If as you believe "they walk out next season... the debt they leave will be less than the debt should they leave now.... The cavalry are not about to come charging over the hill to save us.... hate to say it... but. Better the devil you know.

If they listen now and appoint such a manager, then Rovers have a chance and to stay up and get promotion again next year.

It's easy to blame, blame, blame but it doesn't help unless it brings positive changes. If there's anyone to blame it is Kean and all that has followed has been mainly because of his total *&%,;*@£$***

It's hard to think that we are better off with Venkys though. They have ruined our club and will probably continue to ruin it with their inept ownership and ill thought out decisions and their total disregard for their customers - us.

I think they have learning difficulties if they havent learned by now. Their mistakes are constantly plastered across the national media and their other mistakes are constantly suing them in court.

John Williams is the only man could save Blackburn Rovers FC from those Indians Venkys .Venkys have ruined our club relegated in Championship about 10,000 fans are staying way . There is a crisis in Ewood Park now who would want to be a manager of Rovers after all the sackings thats three managers in 8 months.Relegation is looming now and Rovers cannot win games and Rovers might be heading in League one like Leeds.
Venkys should sell up and go back where they came from they are not intrested in football club and take all these clowns with you Shaw,Agnew,Shebby Hendry and Modan.

You have to be mad to think anyone would buy the Rovers from Venkys. People still calling for boycotts is the stupidest thing ever.

All the problems can be solved by appointing a decent manager.

Kean, Berg and Appelton were all surprise appointments. At first we were optimistic with Appelton, he talked a lot of sense, but the performances and results were diabolical. We would definitely have been relegated under Appelton, I don't think they had any choice but to sack him. I would like to hear how he thought he was getting the best out of Jordan Rhodes. He took over a good team at Blackpool and stopped them from scoring as well!

Team GB is our best chance of avoiding relegation, hopefully next time they will appoint a good experienced manager - Adkins would be my choice.

Without Venkys we have no chance of returning to the Premiership because we have no money. If by a slim chance Venkys learn from their mistakes then we have a chance of promotion at some time in the future.

totally agreed Swiss.... boycotts, pitch invasions etc will see BRFC turned into a Tesco.... And wouldn't the numpties at the end of the m65 just love that!
Can understand the anger felt by the fans... Who wouldn't be angry?
But we can't turn back time, nor will we always get what we wish for...
So. Venky's it is.... just hope they learned on lesson 3.

But it's a chicken and the egg thing isn't it? What proven manager would want to come to a club where his office has a noose hanging in the corner and a clock that starts at 60 days and counts down?
.A proven manager doesn't need the money and has everything to lose.
.
Let's not lose sight of what the real issue here and that is the ego struggle between Agnew, Shaw and Singh.
.
They all need to go now, open he door and throw them all out onto the street and then let them try and go through the courts for compensation. I think the Venkys have more than enough money to keep a court case going before these schiesters run out of money Only then has Rovers got any chance or rebuilding.

Great comment Greenscreener.

Gordon Lee was my first manager and I remember in the Cathedrals ground on the sub station sprayed 'Gordon Lee is God'

And John Bailey was a fave of mine too. Great players and managers who helped endear BRFC into the heart then, now and long after these incompetents(Venky) have gone !

Don't think I remember that graffiti but I never spent much time around the cathedral.

Suspect it wasn't you who wrote it Road Runner, a bit concise for you !

I was still a young lad in those days, but I always thought JB might play for England, unfortunately I think Kenny Sansom probably had that shirt all to himself when JB was at his best with Rovers and Everton.

Whilst I totally agree that we need a strong manager (maybe Souness) I also would like to see the Venky's departure, but. Where would we be then? Although completely incompetent, it's their money that's keeping us afloat. The solution would be to get rid of Shaw Agnew and Shebby the snake... And appoint one director with a proven record (forget J Williams he would never work for these clowns) then hire a manager with a proven record. Venky's could then step back and watch the phoenix "rise from the ashes" Problem is... no-one can talk sense to the Venky's... They just don't listen...

not sticking up for venky's but i do think that shaw ,agnew and singh feed them that much s**t that they don't know any different . they should fire all three and get someone like peter kenyon who knows how to run a club

Kenyon is an atrocious human being but he has been CFO for the Man Utds and Chavkskis of this world to be fair What on earth makes you think anyone of his calibre would work at your p1ss pot football club for the nutters who run it? He's bald and slippery - perhaps he reminds you of your irrestible former manager (what do you mean "WHICH ONE?"- STEVE KEAN of course

We haven't been "sick" of Venkys since they took over. I was quite optimistic at the time. They came out with some embarrassing stuff early on (Ronaldinho etc) but I put that down to new owner bluster trying to get the fans on their side and show they meant business. Nothing unusual there. It was a surprise when they sacked BFS, but not a shock; new owners want their own man in. Nothing unusual there either. We even gave Kean a fair crack of the whip. We didn't know who the f@ck he was but hoped they had come up with a gem. Obviously they hadn't. It was only when everthing started to go wrong on the pitch, Kean keeping his job and, more importantly, Venkys' abject running of the club coming into the public domain (especially Anderson's involvement, the Williams/Finn/Goodma n and Paul Hunt letters) that we turned against them. And boy do they deserve it. Hindsight is a wonderful thing but if anyone was "sick" of them as soon as they set foot in the place, then may I suggest their motives were not entirely, how should we say, football based?

You have to be mad to think anyone would buy the Rovers from Venkys. People still calling for boycotts is the stupidest thing ever. All the problems can be solved by appointing a decent manager. Kean, Berg and Appelton were all surprise appointments. At first we were optimistic with Appelton, he talked a lot of sense, but the performances and results were diabolical. We would definitely have been relegated under Appelton, I don't think they had any choice but to sack him. I would like to hear how he thought he was getting the best out of Jordan Rhodes. He took over a good team at Blackpool and stopped them from scoring as well! Team GB is our best chance of avoiding relegation, hopefully next time they will appoint a good experienced manager - Adkins would be my choice. Without Venkys we have no chance of returning to the Premiership because we have no money. If by a slim chance Venkys learn from their mistakes then we have a chance of promotion at some time in the future.

Well I was sick of them from the outset, but it was based on the experience the Wolves had with the Bhatti Brothers. Every now and then I have brought that period up and events at Rovers are all pointing to the same consequences. The hype at the start about Ronaldinho etc was just how the Bhattis started. Doesn't anyone remember it was Rovers who played Wolves at Molineux on the first day of the Bhatti reign? Dougan was in the crowd giving it large and promising the earth. As soon as Big Sam went that was it for me with the Venkys. The similarities with the Wolves story are chilling. Up Rovers!

I can't see anybody else buying Rovers and Venkys have put money in (I think, but perhaps it's all parachute payments, transfers etc, I haven't worked it out). Appleton could really talk the talk. Berg was a loyal Rover. Kean was something else. But all 3 did not have a successful proven managerial record. We've cried out for it for 2 years but Venky's have not listened. If they listen now and appoint such a manager, then Rovers have a chance and to stay up and get promotion again next year. It's easy to blame, blame, blame but it doesn't help unless it brings positive changes. If there's anyone to blame it is Kean and all that has followed has been mainly because of his total *&%,;*@£$*** Come on Venkys. Listen and learn.

What I'm saying is it's virtually the same everytime a new owner takes charge. You only find out what they're like with time. Wolves fans would have been upbeat when the Bhatti Brothers took over only to suffer what we are now and a whole lot more besides. Well, as it stands at the moment anyway. But not all new owners have been Bhatti-esque in the way they have run the club they bought. You would have expected Venkys, who knew nothing about football, to have sought every last bit of advice from anyone and everyone at the club who knew anything about anything to do with football; they didn't and we're all paying the price for that. If they did take advice from Williams et al but still came up with the same hair brained business plan, then they are more stupid than I could ever have imagined. Having seen what's gone on over the last two and a half years, we can have little doubt our fine old club is heading in one direction and one direction only. However, no-one would have predicted the speed at which that has happened. A fall from grace would have been no real surprise, but it should have been as a result of the natural laws of football and certainly in a more dignified manner.

Totally agree with that.
