Exclusive By Andy Cryer, Blackburn Rovers reporter
THE group director of Blackburn Rovers’ main sponsor has accused the club of a lack of leadership after calling for owners Venky’s to start communicating with supporters.
Wayne Wild, group director of the WEC Group, in Darwen, has told the Lancashire Telegraph of his frustrations that he has received no direct contact from Venky’s, despite writing a letter of concern to them six weeks ago.
Mr Wild, a Rovers fan for more than 30 years, admits he feels as though WEC are not being valued as clients and fears the negative publicity surrounding the club is having a direct impact on the company.
WEC, an engineering and fabrication company, is the main sponsor of the Darwen End stand and also have corporate hospitality at Ewood Park, with two tables in the Premier Suite, four directors box tickets, four stand tickets and a private box.
Mr Wild has been in contact with commercial manager Simon Williams for more than a month but, despite receiving a late offer on Friday of a meeting with the owners in London on Sunday, he is still waiting to have direct contact with Venky’s.
Mr Wild, said: “I don’t want to be treated like god, because we are not.
"We are a corporate sponsor and the owners have the authority and right to do what they see fit with the club.
“I don’t think they understand the issues it is causing, though.
"Blackburn Rovers Football Club is the heart and soul of the town.
"It has been for ever and certainly since they were in the Premier League.
“It creates employment for the town, the indirect business of people travelling to the games, and the sponsorship.
“I just feel if I can’t get a reply - as the only paying corporate sponsor - that underlines the frustrations that general supporters are having, because there is no direct contact.
“We feel not valued. As well as the business side I have offered to mediate between the fans and the owners.
"I feel there is a growing gap between the two. Maybe if they could talk to me, I could relay that message to the fans.”
In his letter to Venky’s chairman Mrs Desai, Mr Wild said the ‘current Ewood experience is not of a corporate entertainment environment’.
He expresses his concern about the disappearance of the old management structure, with most of the old board of directors having now left the club without replacements, and believes the uncertainty around the club is causing fans to turn on each other.
“One of my key issues is the lack of leadership at the top,” he said.
“I have no-one to contact. Steve Kean is reporting direct to the owners. It should be going through a board of directors.
“There is nobody there. I am having to go to the commercial department who then go to a representative of the owners.
"In terms of the running of the club on a day to day basis there is nobody there.
“Blackburn Rovers was a model of how to run a football club.
"The model was worked on over a number of years and that has systematically been wiped out over a short period.
“If they are not interested in talking to anyone the gulf will get wider.
"We need them to agree to say when they are going to put a solid management team here in Blackburn.
“It is not about the position of the team. It is the whole structure of the club.
"There is no leadership from the top down and fans are turning on fans.”
Mr Wild, whose WEC Group are in their fourth season of sponsoring Blackburn Rovers, has urged Venky’s to start communicating with supporters and insists that is needed before they have the unreserved support of the fans.
“I am willing to act as a mediator between the two,” said Mr Wild.
“I don’t agree with everything the protesters have been doing.
"I can understand it but I don’t agree with it all. They are just trying to get something done.
“If my key customer had sent an official letter in, I would have replied immediately. Six weeks down the line I have no form of official reply.
“What I am trying to achieve? I am trying to request some form of communication.
"If it is direct to me, then I can pass that back to the fans.
“Being a supporter is hard enough to take but paying for the privilege of sponsorship to be linked to this is both embarrassing and damaging to our company name and brand.”

Kean isn't the real problem (although he is a big part of it), the source of the problem is the Venky's.

Well done Mr Wild - your points about the structure of the club (or lack of it) and the failure of Venkys to comunicate with fans are one of the core problems (one of a number unfortunately) that are currently blighting our club.
.
I also made the same points to Paul Hunt recently - and to be fair to Mr Hunt, he seemed to be totally au-fait (sorry about the spelling FR) with these problems and in many cases agreed there was a problem. Unfortuantely he seems to be the only senior person working at Ewood as the lack of appointments to senior positions after months and months is nothing short of disgraceful.
.
One point I suggested and he liked was to organise a question and answer evening with at least 1 Venky and 200 season ticket holders, drawn at random - he might be keen on the idea but will Venkys ??
.
I would also encourage ANY and EVERY current Rovers season ticket holder to email the club through its website and complain (without any abusive language) about the current situation. Say you will not renew your season ticket unless the situation changes and that you would like to air your complaints with a senior Rovers official - they usually will do this and the more people that complain about the same things (lack of structure, broken promises, no comunication, manager who's slightly better than dusty bin etc etc) possibly, just possibly we might get things changed.
.
Unfortunately it is one thing getting your point understood by Paul Hunt, a clued up football guy but another thing him being able to get the message across to Venkys - and there in lies the nub of the problem.

There's lots of it compared to WEC input, though I agree with all that Mr Wild has said he will be ignored. The only thing I can do as a mere season ticket holder, lifelong fan is protest. I keep saying Venkys are the real problem, Kean is a stooge for them & Jerome Anderson. We should at every oportunity target the Venky brand. I ask that as many people as possible email the FA / Barclays to ask for a full investigation into the goings on at Blackburn. Why would so called competent business people strip a club of the leaders who have steared the business so well for decades? The only reason I can think of is to be able to conduct underhand dealings without questions. I hope this paper gets on to the relevant authorities ASAP, as you will carry more wieght than just us fans.

The problem is Venkys are hardly at Ewood so I'm begining to wonder if this will be enough.
According to reports they were genuinely shocked and suprised at the fans anti-Kean and Venkys chants on Saturday at Wigan. Sounds like golden-boy Kean has been spin-doctoring to them eh? Not a suprise given his record of lies to date. Any fan here knows that he spin-doctors every post-match conference. Not to mention his greatest spin-doctoring of all... lying to the police.
The man is a fraud and a liar. I truly hope for the good of Blackburn Rovers that Saturday woke up Venkys to what is really going on and they are currently putting in place plans to replace him.
If not, we are truly relegated.
The only other option as I see it, aside from matchday protests, is to hit Venkys where it hurts - their business. There must be a clever PR Rovers fan out there who has ideas on how we can do something to discredit their name, and make the name 'Venkys' a laughing stock in business (it already is in football...)

Whatever we do needs to be done by the majority so that Kean cannot undermine it in the press. What about black armbands worn to signify the death of everything we held dear? Fly black flags at the match. Show black cards at half time. Something which demonstrates our discontent and which cannot be misconstrued and which will not effect the players. That way more might become involved and the TV cameras will pick it up. There are those still trying to claim that only a tiny minority are disgruntled!!! Unbelievable. Anyone else got any ideas?

When the one and only corporate sponser the club retains voices their disdain as to the running of the club then it is surely time to act, if Venkys can ignore these people we must surely be in far more trouble than we ever imagined!

I'm coming to the conclusion that this situation is exactly what venkys wanted all along! after all how much would someone have to pay to get the publicity that these guys are getting and getting their brand name out there? no one had heard of these people 18 months ago, plus they have sold players and got some money back, reduced the wage bill dramatically by a massive percentage, and are getting more publicity than they ever would if they ran the club ethically and efficiently! and thats why they are keeping Keane to bolster the the publicity machine!!

Blackburn Rovers is a proud club that we should not let die. It's more important then ever that all supporters stick together and have complete unity for the good of our club. Fans cannot be divided anymore.
It looks like we're going down now, and we may even be losing some players. But us fans will always be here. So let's work out how to get this slimy little weasal and Venkys out of our club. As whilst they're in charge (with Jerome Anderson sniffing around) it's quite clear this is not our Rovers anymore and we have no future.

What I want to know is when is the LT going to grow some wotsits and start asking difficult questions?
When are you going to dispute what Kean tells you and make it a difficult interview.
i.e, when he said about only genuine fans going to QPR, Fulham etc, why was he not asked if he thought the 15,000 season ticket holders were not genuine fans.
When he said that if we'd got another 4 points from Chelsea, Spurs and Norwich we'd be halfway up the league, was it not poited out to him that actually we'd still in the bottom 3.
C'mon LT, you are letting your readers and the town down. What is your explanation?

THAT'S WHY SHE INSISTS ON HAVING THE FINAL SAY ALL THE TIME!
Look Melanie, i've read your posts and thank's for your positive feedback.
Your posts are quite innocent in someways, the rancorous sourness of True_Bluie_84 and KDG is very off putting.... loved the image of KDG as a "Bunny Boiler".. classic!
She probably pulls the wings of Lady Birds as well.
Still, it's probably best to leave these weasel's to themselves, they are on board now and agree that we were right all along and that they were wrong all along.
I can't tell you how satisfying that is, i will be gracious in victory ;-)
I am very very worried about the club though.

What I want to know is when is the LT going to grow some wotsits and start asking difficult questions?
When are you going to dispute what Kean tells you and make it a difficult interview.
i.e, when he said about only genuine fans going to QPR, Fulham etc, why was he not asked if he thought the 15,000 season ticket holders were not genuine fans.
When he said that if we'd got another 4 points from Chelsea, Spurs and Norwich we'd be halfway up the league, was it not poited out to him that actually we'd still in the bottom 3.
C'mon LT, you are letting your readers and the town down. What is your explanation?
Your all complaining, and yet you all wanted a big conglomerate to come and take over in the hope that it might make you a big club, you wanted Sam allerdyce out, you got your wishes, don't whine and winge now, and the good old walker trust? They sold you out too, roll on the fire sale!!

What system do you prefer defensively, a zonal or man for man, or in your case woman to woman when defending set pieces?
what defensive strategy should we employ in order to stop shipping so many goals.
In your opinion what is Rovers best defensive line up considering we haven't had a settled back four or a clean sheet all season.
Do you think we'll see the vukavic fellar in shorts this season on a regular basis, what attributes does he bring to our game plan?
What formation do you think best suits Rovers needs at this time?

I would like say though that KDG and others (Ricktvr, Wildrover, Ii1111 etc) are not and have not been "wrong" in all this. They have said all along that they were perpared to give SK "time" - now they all say "his time is up" - that is not "being wrong", that is simply giving him more of a chance to prove himself than most of us did.
.
Like CS said - we need to come together stop any infighting and focus the "villans" - Venkys !!

THAT'S WHY SHE INSISTS ON HAVING THE FINAL SAY ALL THE TIME!
Look Melanie, i've read your posts and thank's for your positive feedback.
Your posts are quite innocent in someways, the rancorous sourness of True_Bluie_84 and KDG is very off putting.... loved the image of KDG as a "Bunny Boiler".. classic!
She probably pulls the wings of Lady Birds as well.
Still, it's probably best to leave these weasel's to themselves, they are on board now and agree that we were right all along and that they were wrong all along.
I can't tell you how satisfying that is, i will be gracious in victory ;-)
I am very very worried about the club though.
.
She said she'd give him more time, now she said "he's had his chance and failed" - she never said "Kean is God".
.
I had many "arguments with KDG" as far back as June when I was predicting this to be a disasterous season if we didnt buy big and early in the transfer market - do I feel VICTORIOUS today because my words have proved to be right ?? - NO, I feel desperately unhappy that we are 19th in the EPL and seemingly heading for the championship.
.
I would love Rovers to win the next few games under SK (if, God forbid, he's still here) and if so I will come on here and say to KDG, Wildrover etc - you were right to give him more time cos he's finally come good !! (although I don't expect this to happen and if it were up to me his feet wouldnt touch the ground).
.
Why do I want to do this - because WE NEED TO WIN FOOTBALL MATCHES not massage our own over inflated ego's !

What system do you prefer defensively, a zonal or man for man, or in your case woman to woman when defending set pieces?
what defensive strategy should we employ in order to stop shipping so many goals.
In your opinion what is Rovers best defensive line up considering we haven't had a settled back four or a clean sheet all season.
Do you think we'll see the vukavic fellar in shorts this season on a regular basis, what attributes does he bring to our game plan?
What formation do you think best suits Rovers needs at this time?
Do you like cheese? :0)
I play football, i don't talk about it like you do. I play it - at a good level, that is why i know you are not a football fan.
You have no care for Rovers, you just like to disagree.
Maybe you are a Bunny Boiler? You are very very strange.
The objective of the game is to score goals! Possession football is good but boring to watch. I prefer Counter-attacking football, the best thing about it is we use the other team’s desperation to score :-)
Long-ball/Direct football is ugly but can be effective, but you need a strong target man and we woman are too small really, you will find this out when you grow up.
Playing with wingers is exciting for us players and the fans, spreading the ball wide, USING different angles of attack and giving opportunities to the winger; I like to take on the fullback and drag central defenders out of position, cut inside and move forward at an angle, or whip in a cross from deep for the strikers to attack in my dreams!I am not that good :-(
Zonal defense is to cover for a team’s or player’s lack of pace or technique, every defender and midfielder is given a zone on the pitch to cover when the opposition has the ball. This is good during set pieces, but does relies on every player doing it and keeping their concentration and it can be risky.
Man-to-man marking needs discipline by the marker, and good decision making by the manager but not with Kean!! Man-to-Man marking can be dodgy if a slower defender is matched up with a fast striker!!!
I don't know what we should do to stop shipping so many goals, that is Kean's job and it depends on who we play!!!
I think Givet and Samba in the middle, Olsson left back and the versatile Nelsen at right back i would say.
Is it true to lock yourself in a dark room and self-harm then write really bad poetry about it?!
Is KDG a troubled EMO? :-)

Well said Mr Wild....maybe your public plea for communication and the restoring of some structure to the club will get us all some much needed answers. Your offer to mediate between the fans and the club and owners should also be listened to by Venkys as this situation is crying out for someone to take soe kind of position of normality. Right now we seem to have nothing solid at Ewood anymore, just a castle built on sand and sinking more quickly every week.

Do you like Peas?
I think you are very young, in fact I think you are still at school.
The problem in this country is we don't teach zonal marking through the different ages at school so when you become a senior and some manager springs it on you, You don't know how to play it.
Man for man marking is what we are used to in the english league.
Its very easy to mark a player out of the game even if he has greater pace than you, you just block him out and lean in. The trick is keeping between him and where the ball is going
Zonal marking is good when you have a back four who knows how it works. The idea is to mark the zone and not the player. You attack the ball space. The problems of this system is when players move and jostle for position and you end up with more in one zone than the others making attacking the ball space very difficult or downright impossible. The confusion arises when " handing players over " from one zone to another. Players forget to attack the ball and start to wander with the player and when you end up with lots of the opposition in one zone you end up conceding too easily.
Foreign players have a better appreciation of zonal marking as they get trained that way from the beginning.
I prefer man to man as each defender knows who he has to stop. The problem with man to man is you are more focused on where your man is instead of where the ball is.
To stop conceding goals Rovers need to work on a more man to man system, at the moment they appear to be trying zonal hence players from the opposition looking like they are in acres of space when they recieve the ball. What with that and being very slow to close down we are just sitting ducks.
We need to be more man to man and defenders need to close the game out quicker.
Kean cannot seem to get the guys in one cohesive defensive unit. Too much confusion and lacking in effort when not in possession.
Other than that we are scoring goals so it should be easier just to sort out defensive duties.
I must say defensively I have been a bit disappointed with Samba this season. Considering our teams height we concede to many from set plays. Givet has been our best centre back but samba has been very average. Dann I'm not to sure about but I think he needs a stable partnership and a few more games to know who goes and who stays.
What is EMO?

They saw and heard the fans reaction at Wigan and they did'nt like it, so now they intend to teach us a lesson with this ridiculous decision.well, they want media coverage, so let's give it to them,stay away from the next home game. If we let the team play in an empty stadium that would generate plenty of news...Never mind backing the team,it's time the team backed us!

Please everyone make It your mission to target Venkys, Kean, Anderson. Get them out of our club. Email the FA & Barclays to investigate the events at Ewood. We have to get answers as to what is going on. 0% Venkys 0% Kean 0% Anderson. 100% BRFC.

I'm beyond stunned at the news of his improved contract. After Venkys saw the fan unrest and anti-Venkys/Kean chants first hand on Saturday, this is nothing short of two fingers up to every single Rovers fan.
Even if you're not a Rovers fan, you have to think - why, in a world of business, supply and demand, is an improved contract even necessary? In football a new contract with improved terms is usually offered on the basis there are other parties out there who would hire said employee, the increase in money usually reflecting their value.
Well is there ANY club up and down the land who would want Steve Kean as manager right now? I don't see a queue of clubs after him. Forget about the issue of even sacking him. Why is it necessary for an improved contract?
F-Venkys, F-Kean and RIP Blackburn Rovers. I think I'm done. I will not be attending Ewood again until this slimy little weasal Kean is removed. I can't bear to see his sh!t-eating grin again, he doesn't deserve a single penny from Rovers.

Stupid cousin or not, they just gave the worst Manager in ther Prem a wage increase, in our name. They are useless football club owners and they need to go. I have no mutual interest in this lot, they have hijacked the club, I would not like to give them the satisfaction of watching fans grovel.
Hi all,
Sorry guys I promised I wouldn't comment on here until Steve Kean was removed from his duties, however I am now so concerned about my beloved club I feel I must.
I was talking last night to several people who work at the club in different capacities (I can't really say anymore but they are good honest reliable people.) One of the problems is that Venky's have put a cousin of theirs in charge at the club, and nothing, and I mean nothing can get to the owners without going through him first. So in this case even going through Commercial Manager Simon Williams, he has then still to go via the cousin before it goes to Venky's. the guy at the club has no football background and is so arrogant that all the staff hate him, and he has no idea what he is doing. So it wouldn't surprise me if the owners didn't know about this situation until very recently. It does not excuse in anyway the way that a loyal supporter and large sponsor has been treated, but to me highlights the complete incompetence and lack of understanding these people have in running a football club. Secondly it is also now becoming clear that the majority of the protests and bull coming out of SK mouth has been also kept away from the owners, not only because SK wants to keep his job but also because the cousin will look a fool for running such a shambles and letting things go so far without acting.
I am now actually sure that with this going to press and other things coming to light, the owners may start to listen. We the fans need to be a little more structured in what we do. Nobody likes being told what to do, not even Indian owners!! We need to provide them with solid evidence of fans feelings, not just chanting an banners, or even I'll thought out planes. We need to strike while the Iron is hot, we need a real poll of a true cross section of supporters carried out by an independent organisation. This will then remove any questions by them and ensure the whole process is transparent and neutral, and the results are collated away from anybody who may have a positive or negative influence on the outcome. If the outcome is that SK needs to go and Communication from the owners and Club needs to be vastly improved then they must listen!! They are business people and as such we need to get our point across to them in a coordinated and fact based fashion. They will then quite simply have to act. If their main customers (the fans) and sponsors are not happy with the current running of the club and as such are deciding to vote with their feet and money, then it will cost the owners more in the long run. Even if their long term goal is to asset strip they will still need income to keep the club running so they can do that. No ticket sales or sponsorship means more investment from them or the club goes bust and they lose their entire investment.
So how do we do this? I know several companies that will conduct the survey and would be happy to be part of any group of supporters who wishes to take POSITIVE action to resolve this mess. It's time we acted in an organised professional man nor, we need an official group, anybody interested let me know.

There still hasn't been any action from Venkys to back up the big words they have been using when talking about their plans for the club. It seems more and more clear that they are just here to make a big profit and then just jump the sinking ship. They said they wanted to keep our best players and all the young talented players. Then we lose Phil Jones, and next out are Hoilett and Samba for sure. A new contract with a release clause of £16.5m added.....shrewd business people, I don't think so. Not even that can be said about these liars. Sir Alex called it 'a steal'. Jones was obviously worth way more, but the amateurs running our club didn't see that. Apparently they have not cleared the debt like they had promised to do, instead they had to pay off some of their own loans with the money generated from the Jones sale. They got rid off Allardyce who at least guaranteed us Premier League safety, and they put a complete donut in charge and everybody knows the result of that: 6 wins in 33 games. AND STILL THEY ARE MORE DESPERATE TO GIVE HIM A NEW CONTRACT THAN TO SORT OUT OUR PROBLEMS! In fact, Steve Kean is one of our main problems, still they just slap us in the face and offer him a new contract.

dg666 wrote:You mean like the LET doing a Kean in or out poll and a are you happy with Venky's performance poll? Very strange the LET have not responded especially now and left it to Radio Lancs last night?
Gleechy, I am not supporting the owners, but saying that all protests need to be done in a constructive way, and a poll conducted by an independent source that highlights a full cross section of the fans feelings on issues such as the manager and transfer policy as well as club communication is the best way to go. If the owners are not here they will continue to be lied to and given all the positive spin. But if the independent poll lands on their desks with the true feelings of the fans and sponsors on they must take action. If the fans conducted one on their own the spin doctors would simply say that it was tainted as the organisers were anti Kean and Venky's.
We need to be professional in our approach with these people, I know that people inside the club are frustrated because their concerns are not being heard directly by the owners only second hand via the cousin. We need to present them with facts, I know the results and position we are in is factual, however the protests and minority of fans being against them is spin. Knowing business people and especially Indrian busriness people they are very proud people. They will not like to lose face (ie back Kean the whole way) the only thing worse than that to them is to be lied to by their own people, and I truly feel they are realising this is the case. If we act positively now and back up their new concerns with true fan and sponsor feelings I feel they will start to listen.
Football fans no longer have the power the once had, quite simply because it is purely a business now and the income from fans is a pittance compared to TV monies etc. So to be heard we to act positively and speak the language of the owners (business) and this will make them sit up and listen.
Finally, think about this, if people start slagging you off personally, what is the first thing you do? You get defensive!! You then become awkward to deal with, and perhaps even become slightly arrogant!!?? If you are then presented with facts in a calm and calculated way that proves you are wrong, most people would hold their hands up and admit guilt. Ring any bells? It's about How we communicate with them, not what we are saying!!! You may say this way is too soft, but believe me it will work, minimise negative publicity of our club and get us the result we all want!!
