Blackburn Rovers protests to be postponed
9:57am Thursday 15th December 2011 in Sport
By Andy Cryer, Blackburn Rovers reporter
PROTESTS Sections of Rovers fans have demonstrated
ALL organised protests at Ewood Park for the crucial next two Premier League home games have been postponed after organisers claimed to have made progress in their bid for improved communications with the club.
A section of supporters have protested against manager Steve Kean and owners Venky’s since early September but organiser Glen Mullan has now reiterated yesterday’s calls in the Lancashire Telegraph for calm ahead of a crunch Ewood Park double header.
With Rovers languishing in the Premier League drop zone, organised protests over the past few months have included pre-match marches, post match sit ins and even a plane fly-over.
Supporters have even been in conflict with each other, as frustration at the club’s situation mounts, while co-owners Venkatesh and Balaji Rao left the Premier League visit to Wigan at half time after coming under heavy criticism before the match.
Mullan has been in talks with club officials in a bid to bring an end to the Ewood hostilities and, ahead of Saturday’s visit of West Brom, has told the Lancashire Telegraph it is time to call them to a halt.
This comes on the back of yesterday’s plea from two East Lancashire businessmen and lifelong Rovers fans, Ian Battersby and Wayne Wild, in the Lancashire Telegraph to stop the protests in a bid to make Venky’s feel able to come to the club to sort the current problems out.
Mullan said: “We are in advanced discussions with the club and we are very, very pleased with the progress that has been made. John Newsham and Paul Hunt’s attention to detail over the last couple of weeks has been exemplary.
“There will be no organised protests this weekend before, after or during the game. We are not cancelling the protests we are postponing them for the next two games, after discussions with the club and with Wayne Wild as well.
“We ask everyone to get behind the team for these two very winnable football matches. Six points is the most important thing, while we remain committed to trying to open up lines of communication with the club for the fans that can stay there for a long time.
“We want a line of communication that will be permanently open.”
Concerns remain over Rovers’ Premier League future with question marks hanging over whether Venky’s are ready to invest in the January transfer window.
Fans are also frustrated at the lack of communication from Venky’s over the past few months but all hope this proposed period of calm will provide a suitable atmosphere to start putting things right “We want fans to be the club’s 12th man for the next two games,” said Mullan. “I need to assure supporters we are not selling them out. This is a postponement as we remain fully committed to seeing out what we started. We are still committed to the cause.
“The supporters who have been protesting, the councillors, Wayne Wild, Ian Battersby, everyone who has raised their concerns in recent weeks have been working for the same goal, and we fully appreciate everything everyone has been doing.
“The protest organisers would also like to make a personal apology to Jason Roberts for the chants heard during the last protest, it was not in the spirit of why we were protesting.”

Kean however had the perfect opportunity to unite the fans after the Swansea game, but chose to ridicule and dismiss them, as he has done for most of his tenure.
I agree with Glen the fans must be united, but can't help but feel that we are being sold down the river by incompetent owners, a poor managment structure and inferior players when compared to last years squad.
Hopefully the atmopshere within the stadium will be good, and we will see a couple of wins.
But nothing alters the FACT that Mr Kean is nowhere near being a premiership manager and his remarks and treatment of the fans have been abysmal and shocking.

He's the master at fooling people who know bugger all about football that he puts effort in to his play. One of my good mates is a PL defender and he was saying against Rovers they're told "If Roberts is coming towards you he'll back out of making the tackle. Don't panic at all and take your time". And to add insult to injury he's always on at the ref f'ing and jeffing. He's been sent off 3 times on the last day of the season for trivial things - case of ref's revenge maybe? I've no time for people who draw a salary yet put no effort in.
I was at the last protest and although JR has been poor for the last couple of years he didn't deserve the personal abuse directed at him. Kean however had the perfect opportunity to unite the fans after the Swansea game, but chose to ridicule and dismiss them, as he has done for most of his tenure.

Some stats for you...
- 3 tackles made this season (ave 1 every 146mins)
- 66.6% pass completion this season (worst of any Rovers forward) )
- This season matches 9 (4 as sub) shots on target 0 shots off target 4
- Touched the ball less often than any other player in EPL last season, once every 3.03mins
Get him out of our club and his massive wages off the books

A Meeting next week with the Board,independently chaired, with people with influence away from BRFC also present. To answer the questions which have never been asked or answered which effect the long term future of the club.
There is a chain of command at Ewood and you have to go through every channel before you get to Venkys, and ultimatley we want Venkys to come over to Blackburn and explain to the supporters in person what they intend to do about this mess.
The Kean OUT issue will no doubt be dealt with by the supporters come saturday. However the clubs long term future and the answers we all seek won't be solved on the stands, this can only be solved by talking and actions from the owners

He can now tell the idiots in India, that the fans can see the progress that has been made over the last two games, with victory over the mighty Swansea, and a solid performance at Sunderland, only losing due to bad luck and a bad ref.
The idiots in India will feel justified in sticking by Walter Mitty, and realise he was 'right' all along, and that we are now on course for that top ten finish he's been promising. He may even get another pay rise out of it.

Judge me on results after the August transfer window, take the positives out of the game, don't get the rub of the green, we deserved more - what a loud of tripe - our league position tells you just how conistant we have been and that Kean should have gone by now - we are looking at you to tell him so or you will loose all credability with Fans and Protesters alike!!!

The next two games are winnable as have been two thirds of the games we have already played. Even if we did win the next two games, it would be of no consequence. We are already relegated. What we are fighting for now is the club itself and a structure and leadership to perform with a dergree of honour in the Championship. To be looking forward to repromotion is an unreal expectation at this juncture. We don't have owners with sufficient committment to achieve that. Keep protesting. We have nothing to lose at this point. We are goimg to be the only club in the history of league football to have vounteered themselves for relegation.

clearly i largely disagree with the protests and certainly with the nature of many things that are said. but if people feel protests are a good way to get the opinion across then you could argue some amount of success. it appears a door to clear dialogue between the club and some of the fans has been opened.
however, we still have intransigent fans who will not be happy until their demands are met. that does not seem to me to be about sharing a common goal. that seems personal and childish.
so the club may not be being run exactly how you want it, but certain people have put themselves in the position of trying to change the club by buying it. whilst that is not an option open to most of us, we can't just hurl abuse if things don't go our way. let's get the talking started and move things forward as a group. that will be the basis of a successful club in the long term. both sides will have to give a little, but both will hopefully gain a lot.

He's been criticised for organising protests and now he's criticised for suggesting protests are postponed for the next two matches.
I haven't always agreed with his views, but at least they are articulate and well thought-out, unlike a lot of the poisonous dross that's posted on here.
Personally, I think he and the businessmen are going about it the right way.
You've got to remember the culture in India, which is based on respect - and before anyone jumps on this, I'm not suggesting Venkys have earned any respect, apart from the Ronnie Clayton stand - but constant foul-mouthed abuse is more likely to make them dig their heels in and ignore any protests.
Be respectful and polite (as hard as that could be) when dealing with Venkys and we may have a chance.
I'd bet my season ticket that Ian Battersby and the main stand sponsor didn't just wade in and start shouting and swearing at them. You've got to 'play the game', and in this case the game is 'respect'. It's a matter of treading carefully, putting arguments across in a forceful but reasonable manner, and not alienating any who could be wavering in their support of the present regime.

It seems to me Glen M is in a no-win situation. He's been criticised for organising protests and now he's criticised for suggesting protests are postponed for the next two matches. I haven't always agreed with his views, but at least they are articulate and well thought-out, unlike a lot of the poisonous dross that's posted on here. Personally, I think he and the businessmen are going about it the right way. You've got to remember the culture in India, which is based on respect - and before anyone jumps on this, I'm not suggesting Venkys have earned any respect, apart from the Ronnie Clayton stand - but constant foul-mouthed abuse is more likely to make them dig their heels in and ignore any protests. Be respectful and polite (as hard as that could be) when dealing with Venkys and we may have a chance. I'd bet my season ticket that Ian Battersby and the main stand sponsor didn't just wade in and start shouting and swearing at them. You've got to 'play the game', and in this case the game is 'respect'. It's a matter of treading carefully, putting arguments across in a forceful but reasonable manner, and not alienating any who could be wavering in their support of the present regime.
I agrre though but then again I am reasonble and an optimist...needed at Rovers
I have done business in India and the Sub continent phsyce is odd to our way of thinking. The norm is to agree and smile and politely listen and say yes even when they think NO!
In fact they condider it rude to say no to someones face and negitiating is always tricky because of this .
It is just a cultural fact of life and the Rao family reaction to the horrendous abuse and vilification is not suprising.
I am not defending their record, it is indefensible but we all need to recall that they were met with a negative reception from Day One.
CHICKENS ON HEADS RING A BELL anyone, chants of One Jack walker when they were being introduced?
It is not surprising in that light is it?
I was guilty of reacting negatively to them as well so I am not blameless.
We really need to take a hard look at ourselves as well though?
That includes Glen Mullan et al

calling a truce and giving venkeys more time but come the next 3 games when we will be lucky to pick up 2 points and are rock bottom of the table at the start of new year and venkeys and kean are in charge and a few of our key players have been sold and not replaced , then what?
just imagine in the new year if yak got injured and we had roberts up front as a lone striker without samba and hoilett
doesn't bear thinking about especially with kean in charge i can see some crushing defeats ahead.
doesn't make sense that glenn has gone from anti kean and anti venkeys to lets get behind the club especially when performances and results are getting worse by the week. sounds like he has become another yes man to me!
for blackburn to survive IMO we need new owners, new manager, and to get rid of half the current squad that are not up to premiership standard and about 35mil to spend in january (however who the hell would want to come to this mess)
the next to games will be the final nails in the coffin IMO rather than the great escape! 2 points out of the next 3 games is my prediction which sound about right as we have been averaging less than a point a game and nothing has changed since other than performances and moral hitting rock bottom.

If Venkys are clueless about football and the Premier League then they needed to be told. They have ignored all the advice which has been afforded them over the last few months and the situation has now become far, far worse.

This postponement will hopefully create a different/better atmosphere at Ewood hopefully allowing the players to be 100% focused on the game in hand ,with lady luck producing a couple of winning performances with style!

One thing I would say about Roberts - I think it's thoroughly unprofessional to be spending so much time and effort on a media career when his work focus should be ENTIRELY on training, playing and scoring goals. Jason?

for blackburn rovers to progress and take a step forward the following must be booted out of the club immediately
Salgado
Dunn
Roberts
Grella
Petrovic
Givet
Goodwillie
Blackman
Slew
they are just not up to current premiership standard neither is the manager or owners.

Now you come on here and say that its okay for me to be the twelfth man because you say it is.
I thought your objective was to get Kean sacked? not just better communications with you involved, I bet some of the protesters are bitterly dissappointed with this latest direction change.
To be honest I want all Rovers fans to be the twelfth man as well to get us out of this mess, but then again my viewpoint has always been this way. For that I have been accused of being a Venky/Kean luvvie but I aint I'm a Rovers luvvie thats all, and if Kean and Venky's left tomorrow I would still be here. So don't patronise me with your five minutes of fame attitude, I haven't changed my stance.
I'm actually glad you have seen a bit of sense at last. The time for results is now and we need all the help we can get in order to get them. I just hope its not too late.

All that matters is Rovers get 6 points on the board from the next two games and give us hope for the future in the Premier League.
At the least it may make a better Christmas than staring down the abyss of the Championship and Division 1 because freefall is a possibility here. No one can then accuse the supporters of being responsible.

I expect the opposition to break double figures such is going to be the low ebb of self belief the players feel. My god we even had Givet feigning a heart attack to get off the pitch last time they ran out.
I'm sure all of the brain dead will join with me, thinking I am one of theirs and we will even congratulate one another on what a fine job we did of ensuring relegation.
Mission accomplished and all for £25 cheap as chips. and a fun day out for all. Its a lot cheaper than hiring a plane for £2500 but will have far deeper impact. You see we still owe you for the plane over Turf Moor

Act now, remove muppet and give new manager (Hughes) money in transfer window and I'll happily bin my 'Venkys Out' t-shirt. I think however that I'll be wearing it on Blackpool beach come the summer!

Before everyone flies of the handle, all that has been done here, is we have decided not to have "ORGANISED" Protest for the next two home games, and this has been done as we have requested certain things which has been agreed with the club, including a full meeting with the board, The club has agreed these things we have asked for. However this does not take anyone's right to protest away, all it means is we won't be telling people what they should or should not do.

I'm quite capable of formulating my own opinions, judging the pro's and con's of the situation. I decided to protest not because of Glen, but because of the situation unravelling at Rovers.

By Glen saying it's up to each individual takes the onus away from that small group and Kean can no longer say it's an isolated group.
All those having a go at Glenn as if he is trying to be a 'celeb' of some sort, for doing this need to get a grip. The man is pro-actively taking what steps he can to resolve the cr*p situation we are in. He hasn't sold out, he has simply stated he has managed to get a promise of a meeting with members of Rovers board and that all 'co-ordinated' protests are on hold. He has not told anyone they can or can't protest. That's all an individual decision.

Ian Battersby (all bow) said the Venkys made all the right noises when he visited Pune in the summer. However, since then he admits there has been a lack of action. No shtt Sherlock! The Venkys failing to deliver? Wow. Didn't see that one.
Before the agreement was made to stop the protests, did anyone get any assurances? For instance. Will Kean appear on Mach of the Day claiming he has tamed the fans with his brand of winning football?
The two matches coming up are really irrelevant. We may win, but then we have Liverpool and United away. Two easy matches solves nothing, especially if we lose players in January.
What counts is Venkys commitment. Will they put up some hard cash in January or will we see three or four Premiership players leave to be replaced by SPL players from Dundee and Alloa. Our managers ex club?
I really don't see why we ought to be encouraged to establish dialogue with owners who have habitually lied. They have past the point of no return along time ago. Blackburn Rovers fans must do everything they can to protect the club from these carpet baggers - and that means PROTEST!!!!!!!!!!!!

Supporters will make their own minds up come saturday what they wish to do before, during and after. Every supporter is in charge of themselves and also in charge of their own conduct. Previously any offences committed Simon and I would have been also bang to rights after accepting responsibility in writing. Many people have said they will protest how they want and without instruction and also without obstruction. Protest have not ended, the only change is, we won't have any organised for the match on Saturday.

We cant deal with the clubs finance or new players that are bought or sold,nor can we tell any Manager how to set-out his stall, gone have the days when you hear about every player who is injured unless they are out for more than 4 weeks.
Only the management Staff know who will play and where they will play every game,all Managers now keep their game plan a secret,King Kenny started that as we all know!
It's going to be a up hill battle but IF WE WILL GET THERE IF WE STICK TOGHETHER!
The thought of any more Acton should NOW be forgot about because they DONT WORK!
Remember we are ALL the 13TH Man! that WILL CHANGE the Results.

It seems to me Glen M is in a no-win situation.
He's been criticised for organising protests and now he's criticised for suggesting protests are postponed for the next two matches.
I haven't always agreed with his views, but at least they are articulate and well thought-out, unlike a lot of the poisonous dross that's posted on here.
Personally, I think he and the businessmen are going about it the right way.
You've got to remember the culture in India, which is based on respect - and before anyone jumps on this, I'm not suggesting Venkys have earned any respect, apart from the Ronnie Clayton stand - but constant foul-mouthed abuse is more likely to make them dig their heels in and ignore any protests.
Be respectful and polite (as hard as that could be) when dealing with Venkys and we may have a chance.
I'd bet my season ticket that Ian Battersby and the main stand sponsor didn't just wade in and start shouting and swearing at them. You've got to 'play the game', and in this case the game is 'respect'. It's a matter of treading carefully, putting arguments across in a forceful but reasonable manner, and not alienating any who could be wavering in their support of the present regime.
.
I echo them, with owners who live so far away and have no real idea what they have got themselves into abuse in any shape or form simply will not work.
.
Whatever their reasons they bought our club, in a period of recession, ostensibly with good intentions but they have been scared away by the venom aimed at the manager they appointed and them as well.
.
They are business people, If they loose interest they haven't any emotional or historical attachment to Rovers as we the fans have, they could simply cut their losses and run.
.
While I think that is somewhat unlikely it will be an option I would consider in their position, in that scenario Rovers wouldn't just be relegated, they would cease to exist.
.
So good luck Glen and the rest of the negotiating team.

Sales of merchandise,goods in and out of the ground has not been what they had aimed for this season, due to fans refusing to by drinks and food on match days,small maybe but its been effective. Loss of fans also at the turnstiles has affected venkys income,no wonder Barclays have been chasing venkys and been in regular discussions with venkys. They had hoped to run the club on abudget, hoping it would pay for its self but it is failing miserably,now venkys are starting to wake up ,they need the fans not just for there teams support but to pay to run the club on the shoe string budget they had originally planed.The protests wont just stop, a bit of time out may be good it will at least show once again that the protesters are well organised and are approachable communicative, unlike one or two on here and venkys in the past. As for progress i think this will show in the discussions at the meetings rather than claiming progress has been made by a few verbal appointments made by the board lets wait and see first. 100% behind the team? fans always have been,fans have been amazingly patient to have put up with all this duplicity from kean and venkys over the last twelve months,most of the clubs in the P/L would have been rioting by now if this had happened to there clubs. Hope we follow this all the way through not forgetting these problems were caused by venkys in the first place.

The irony! I can't believe the protest organisers are now in the venkys pockets! Hilarious! I bet they aren't even from Blackburn. Also, I bet they jumped on the walker bandwagon and they had lfc quilt cover and matching curtains when they were kids, like a lot of our fans. Glory hunters! It will be worth relegation to get rid of these mugs.
Without them Kean really could dismiss us as the 1%.

He's the master at fooling people who know bugger all about football that he puts effort in to his play. One of my good mates is a PL defender and he was saying against Rovers they're told "If Roberts is coming towards you he'll back out of making the tackle. Don't panic at all and take your time". And to add insult to injury he's always on at the ref f'ing and jeffing. He's been sent off 3 times on the last day of the season for trivial things - case of ref's revenge maybe? I've no time for people who draw a salary yet put no effort in.
I was at the last protest and although JR has been poor for the last couple of years he didn't deserve the personal abuse directed at him. Kean however had the perfect opportunity to unite the fans after the Swansea game, but chose to ridicule and dismiss them, as he has done for most of his tenure. I agree with Glen the fans must be united, but can't help but feel that we are being sold down the river by incompetent owners, a poor managment structure and inferior players when compared to last years squad. Hopefully the atmopshere within the stadium will be good, and we will see a couple of wins. But nothing alters the FACT that Mr Kean is nowhere near being a premiership manager and his remarks and treatment of the fans have been abysmal and shocking. COYB
Some stats for you...
- 3 tackles made this season (ave 1 every 146mins)
- 66.6% pass completion this season (worst of any Rovers forward) )
- This season matches 9 (4 as sub) shots on target 0 shots off target 4
- Touched the ball less often than any other player in EPL last season, once every 3.03mins
Get him out of our club and his massive wages off the books

I agrre though but then again I am reasonble and an optimist...needed at Rovers
I have done business in India and the Sub continent phsyce is odd to our way of thinking. The norm is to agree and smile and politely listen and say yes even when they think NO!
In fact they condider it rude to say no to someones face and negitiating is always tricky because of this .
It is just a cultural fact of life and the Rao family reaction to the horrendous abuse and vilification is not suprising.
I am not defending their record, it is indefensible but we all need to recall that they were met with a negative reception from Day One.
CHICKENS ON HEADS RING A BELL anyone, chants of One Jack walker when they were being introduced?
It is not surprising in that light is it?
I was guilty of reacting negatively to them as well so I am not blameless.
We really need to take a hard look at ourselves as well though?
That includes Glen Mullan et al
