Blackburn Rovers manager keeping January plans close to his chest

BLACKBURN Rovers are determined to keep their January transfer plans close to their chest as they bid to add some experience to their youthful squad.

Rovers boss Steve Kean insisted he would not be commenting on potential targets in the build up to the January transfer window or on his transfer kitty, but said he did know his available budget.

Kean refused to confirm or deny whether Ghanian midfielder Stephen Appiah had been on trial at Brockhall, but did say: “I did not see him here.”

He also insisted he was not aware of any issues with the bank and that Monday’s board meeting between him and directors had been scheduled for the past six months.

He said: “I don’t want to say the figure but I am aware of the funds I have. Without going into specific positions we will be looking for a bit of experience. I am not aware of an issues with the banks.

“When you look at the make up of the squad we have enough young players, and I think it is important for the profile of the squad to have a bit of experience. That is what we will be trying to do.

“I always prefer a purchase and I would have loved to have purchased Jermaine Jones in the last window but we could only get him on loan.

“Unfortunately sometimes when you get a good loan and they do well their parent cluib wants them back and you don’t get them. We would prefer to buy but if it is a loan, hopefully a loan with an option to buy.”

Meanwhile Junior Hoilett and Chris Samba are expected to attract bids from Premier League and foreign rivals in January but Kean re-iterated Rovers’ desire to keep their prized assets.

“I would imagine we will get enquiries for our better players but we will resist as much as we can,” said Kean. “We would like to add and progress the squad and try to keep the lads we have together.

Like you resisted with Phil Jones, Samba and Hiolett are going Mr Kean and you know it, I for one dont blame them leaving a sinking ship.

Venkys = Asset Strippers

Hopefully his plans for January involve sitting on a beach somewhere spending his not so well earned redundancy money.

Seriously VENKYS - if he does not go this month we will dice with relegation. When there are alternatives that would almost guarantee avoiding relegation I do not understand your business thinking? Kean never had the CV.

No. It was Kean's decision to let Jones go. As Hunt is eager to stress in another article the manager has the last call on transfers into and out of the club. Similarly it will be Kean's decision on whether Samba, Hoillet and Nzonzi leave.

Unfortunately, his quest for experience is four months too late, but the genius would rather hide behind injuries and "bad luck", rather than his inability to assemble a Premier LEague squad.

You have known for the last year Mr Kean that Samba and Hoillet are going. No excuses at the end of the season when we get the drop. The reason will be simple, you are not premier manager material.

You are keeping quiet because you may have plenty of targets, but no one will come to BRFC while you are in charge!

Wow its taken him 12 months to realise in this league experience is the key not chance your arm on a cheap overseas alternative. It was blatantly obvious to most in the summer that that was what was required but waas it not SK who said "judge me on my squad" when the window closed.

News from inside Ewood is that kean is in negotiation with two Russian side Moscow Dinamos players:

One is called Pylov Shyte whose wife Onya Bacyabith is not happy as she will lose business as a high class prostitute in Russia
The other is called Ivan Bollocov...problem with him is that he has testicular cancer and had surgery to have a body part removed!!!hahahahaha
hahahaha!!!

C`mon you clarets!!!

noddymcleod says...

Kean hasn't seen Appiah at Brockhall but he didn't see the aeroplane over Ewood.
My bet is that by the end of the January window we'll have sold more in cash value than bought as Venkys clear the board.
I can't see anyone wishing to join Rovers other than out-of-work journeymen - and I can see anyone with talent wanting to leave.

These lot on here have lost all perspective on reality in their obsession with Steve Kean! It's almost as if 95% of people who post comments on here are Burnley fans, as they certainly don't offer any support to Rovers! Thankfully half of em don't even go to the games, and their opinions are far from representative. In fact there are only about 100 regular posters on here playing the same old record.

LOL. Can't see us keeping a clean sheet to be honest. I would have been quietly confident of getting something up there, had they not sacked Bruce. Will be difficult now, with MON taking over. They've slipped into the bottom 3 today, with Wigan winning away again! and he'll have them well fired up, along with 35k+ Mackems. I'm afraid I can't see anything other than a home win.
3-1 is a very tempting 14/1 shot.

Rochina? Formica? It's common knowledge these were the work of Anderson. The problem is whoever is manager in January they need the full backing of the Venky's to fix the mess they've created. If the summer is anything to go by we'll miss out on our main targets. Yakubu for example was far from first choice of targets but all the other bids failed. Given our league position no ambitious player will join, so a couple of quality loan signing might be the best way to go.

Being a Rovers fan is becoming excrutiatingly embarrassing. I dont know which is worse, seeing Steve Kean is still manager, hearing our own fans booing during games or the continuous criticism we are getting on sky sports soccor saturday - today being particularly bad. Glen Mullen stated today that many arent going to games because of Kean but he failed to say many arent going because of the negativity during games. There are two sides to this story being presented to the public but there is a third perspective that isnt and its those in the middle who are equally as concerned about the situation but also feel the protests towards Kean during games is adding to the problem. They feel sorry for him and is it any wonder when they hear that booing as we have scored.

Just for you ed

“BLACKBURN ROVERS superfan Ian Battersby is lifting the lid on where owners Venky’s have gone wrong – and how they are blowing their chance to get it right.
Financial expert Battersby is among a handful of fans who have met owner Mrs Anuradha Desai at her family home in Pune.
But despite the lengthy audience two months ago, he is still waiting on the penny dropping in India about their crisis club.
Battersby and business colleague Ian Currie made a VIP trip to Venky Central. Their suggestion was to install a couple of locals to help boss Steve Kean and the board and vastly improve the workings and PR of beleaguered Blackburn.
Battersby said: “I thought the chance of dialogue was not to be missed. Mrs Desai is the ultimate decision-maker at the club.

Unacceptable
“We explained at some length that you can’t run a club from India and only have dialogue with one man here. Venky’s have about 170 subsidiaries. Most of those work well, but the one – Blackburn Rovers – doesn’t and it is blowing their brains.
“The board here does not say a word. It is all soundbites from Steve Kean and Venky’s. It is unacceptable. It is dysfunctional, they don’t think the board has a part to play.
“Nobody engages with the fans. The club was always good at getting information out about what they were doing and their aims.
“But now there is very little and they are suffering because of it – some of the string of ridiculous conspiracy theories are down to that silence from Ewood Park.”
Battersby has had to sit and squirm as the atmosphere at his beloved club turns uglier by the week. Even a 4-2 win over Swansea was marked by banners and booing against Kean.
He said: “I don’t think the fans have any idea what Steve Kean is having to go through on a daily basis.
“He should be focusing on the team, not on every issue. One day he will be entitled to nail a few lies about this – but he hasn’t so far.”


********************
*****

“Blackburn boss Steve Kean is eyeing a double contract boost from Junior Hoilett and David Dunn.
Canadian Hoilett, 21, is one of the Premier League’s hottest properties but has snubbed the chance to extend his deal beyond the summer.
Arsenal and Tottenham have checked on the Rovers’ striker and Blackburn must weigh up whether or not to cash in now or hope for decent compensation in the summer.
Local lad Dunn, in his second stint at Ewood Park, turns 32 this month and is also a free agent at the end of the season.
The midfielder still brings bags of creativity when fit and Kean wants to tie him to a new contract.
He said: “When you see the way David (right) plays and what Blackburn means to him, we’d certainly like to keep him.
“One of the directors has been speaking to his representatives and hopefully that will get sorted out.”
“With Junior it’s ongoing. We feel we’ve put a good offer together and the directors have been dealing with this.
“I’ve just been trying to keep the player in the form he’s in.

"Blackburn Rovers may not be able to pay their players in the New Year according to a report in the Mail On Sunday.
In a piece written by the highly respected Nick Harris, it is alleged that Barclays have demanded the club deposit £10 million in their account by New Year’s Eve or the bank will refuse to extend the credit needed to pay the players’ wages beyond January.
The piece explains that: "The crisis is the result of Barclays running out of patience with the failure of Venky’s, the Indian poultry conglomerate who own the club, to honour contractual obligations made when they bought Rovers in November last year."
The club's co-owner Anuradha Desai is believed to have no interest in paying the money, "believing Blackburn can fund themselves without fresh cash from India."
The paper goes on: "She has the final say at Rovers and if her stance on funding is maintained, the club’s overdraft at Barclays, currently around £6m, could burst beyond its agreed limit on January 23, when wages totalling £4m-5m are due to be paid.
"The club could then face meltdown within a month. If the overdraft limit is exceeded and there is no sign of a cash injection, Barclays can stop funding the club, which could then technically become insolvent”

I apologise for the clear loss of perspective shown by the mindless minority of so called Rovers fans.

I'm sorry for feeling a little concerned the club's bankers are demanding £10mill, members of staff have been told they will lose their jobs and players may not be paid.

I apologise if we have reacted to our club sitting in the bottom three of the PL with an owner, who knows nothing about football (on their own admission) feeling it appropriate to ignore 12 months results and the direction the team has been going on the basis of a player high-fiving the manager (who brought him out of the wilderness at Everton). Sorry.

I am sorry for thinking it suspicious the man appointed manager (a client of the owner's advisor), promptly signed the said advisor's son who could not make the (struggling) Aberdeen team and has since been rewarded for the worst twelve months' results for God knows how long with an improved contract; really sorry

Forgive me, I could go on, you know, how we couldn't get a shirt sponsor despite playing in the most widely broadcast league on the planet etc. etc., but I wouldn't want to bore you.

If the views of the 100 are "far from representative" and the majority of Rovers fans are happy with what is going on, as you suggest, then so be it. We're just supporters of the CLUB (which is more than just cheering on a Saturday afternoon, by the way) who are clearly just getting a touch too emotional. Please forgive us and I'm sorry, really, truly sorry if you have been upset in any way.

These lot on here have lost all perspective on reality in their obsession with Steve Kean! It's almost as if 95% of people who post comments on here are Burnley fans, as they certainly don't offer any support to Rovers! Thankfully half of em don't even go to the games, and their opinions are far from representative. In fact there are only about 100 regular posters on here playing the same old record.
I apologise for the clear loss of perspective shown by the mindless minority of so called Rovers fans.

I'm sorry for feeling a little concerned the club's bankers are demanding £10mill, members of staff have been told they will lose their jobs and players may not be paid.

Woke up today in a positive mood. Hoping the team would do well. Reading the mail, brought the mood crashing down. I have protested for Kean to go, but it is now more important to get Venkys out of our club as soon as possible.
Good luck the team
Venkys OUT!!

There will be some positive moves in January. Forget barclays, venkys will splash the cash now and we'll see kean start to shine. Stan collymore says he's the best young manager and with some real cash we will start rising up the table.

Stan Collymore spouts rubbish and could never seem to buckle down at any club he was at.
The Venkeys are devoid of cash and Kean dare not say it as it is because we are looking at old players now not for their experience but simply because they are cheap on short contracts.
