Next season there will not be anyone there especially if the owners continue to retain this managerial disaster.How can anyone even consider continuing with these stupid pr exercices for their silly chicken products when we are doing what every intelligent fan knew when Sam was sacked and Kean installed -going down?

It's a pity they have decided not to have come. We could have held out the hand of friendship and I suspect that they would have picked up what a disinterested embarrassment the Venkys have become.

As for the FA/PL. Their attitude is one of, if Rovers go down or go bust, somebody else will take their place. Have they done anything for Portsmouth?

The problem is Kean has now realised he can't keep us up, he'll focus his PR BS campaign at him being the person to bring us back up next season with this squad that's "more valuable than it used to be"

As improbable and as unlikely as it sounds the Rovers are not the worst club on wins/form in the prem over the last two months.


Both Villa, with one win in their last 12 prem games and Stoke with one prem win in eight (albeit over us!) are struggling in the form stakes - so that is two so called 'mid-table' clubs that have only one prem win in 20 games total.

That fact could be the reason that as bad as we undoubtedly are, that there are other really poor sides in the shake-up also...which could just keep us up.

Wigan have only 1 win in their last 11 prem games, QPR = 1 win in the last 11, Wolves = 2 wins in the last 11, Bolton = 3 wins in their last 11, , West Brom = 3 wins in the last 11 games, Everton have 3 wins in the last 11 games and Fulham have 4 wins in the last 11 games (though 2 of those were back in early December).

How do Rovers compare to that load of losers?

Well we have 3 wins in the last 11 - so there is only one team that has more wins that the Rovers since the start of December in all of the teams in the bottom half of the table!

Depressing and dismal as saturday's performance was, it is NOT all over yet.

We need to factor into our poor performances the facts that other sides are as bad or even worse than we are, so we are not down and out yet mes ami's!

A strong leader right now would certainly help the situation...c'mon Venkys get someone in who can inject some new energy into the club quickly!

The news going around is that the venkys have shaken hands on a deal with a manager who has go experience and it could be kean last match on Saturday if its true.

please dont hold your breath because we been down this line before.

Nobody believes anything that comes out of your mouth anymore Steve. Some of us were awake to your garbage more than 12 months ago. Even the players have swallowed the weight of that realisation now, as evidenced by their abject response to a perfunctory Arsenal performance.

Unfortunately the season isn't two months long and none of those other teams have an inexperienced deadweight at the helm or gross incomptents providing administration.

If you can garner a crumb of comfort out of anything that you assert offers hope then I will counter that you are way behind the curve.

It will take nothing short of a miracle and a previously unseen upturn in form to prevent Rovers getting relegated this season. Of more concern is the very existence of the club, not just will the club survive as we have known it over the last couple of decades.

yes I agree that the whole future of the club is in danger and that is the main thing we are all concerned about. I am just looking for crumbs of comfort from anywhere that can show some pathway to safety this season. And then maybe we can sort the long term future out. The reality is that the Rovers results over the last couple of months have been no worse than anyone else's in the bottom half of the table. That is not fiction nor statistics - these are just simple facts. Actual results. I would never have believed that until someone told me and I checked this out but its there in black and white...yes we are cr*p but so are most of the other teams around us and above us. If we had someone inspirational in charge now then based on the previous and current results then I would say we would have a better than even chance of survival - but with Kean still being here erodes those odds considerably.

Haha...true...but to be fair they did call for Steve Kean to either resign or be sacked weeks ago. Then again, since Jerome Anderson went crying to his legal team they have gone a little quiet on the subject.

Are you still commenting on here FR?? Take your claptrap somewhere else...nobody wants you on here with your anti-Big Sam propaganda. Happy now that the club is on the brink of a major disaster are we?? Where are West Ham btw??

As improbable and as unlikely as it sounds the Rovers are not the worst club on wins/form in the prem over the last two months. Both Villa, with one win in their last 12 prem games and Stoke with one prem win in eight (albeit over us!) are struggling in the form stakes - so that is two so called 'mid-table' clubs that have only one prem win in 20 games total. That fact could be the reason that as bad as we undoubtedly are, that there are other really poor sides in the shake-up also...which could just keep us up. Wigan have only 1 win in their last 11 prem games, QPR = 1 win in the last 11, Wolves = 2 wins in the last 11, Bolton = 3 wins in their last 11, , West Brom = 3 wins in the last 11 games, Everton have 3 wins in the last 11 games and Fulham have 4 wins in the last 11 games (though 2 of those were back in early December). How do Rovers compare to that load of losers? Well we have 3 wins in the last 11 - so there is only one team that has more wins that the Rovers since the start of December in all of the teams in the bottom half of the table! Depressing and dismal as saturday's performance was, it is NOT all over yet. We need to factor into our poor performances the facts that other sides are as bad or even worse than we are, so we are not down and out yet mes ami's! A strong leader right now would certainly help the situation...c'mon Venkys get someone in who can inject some new energy into the club quickly!

Nobody believes anything that comes out of your mouth anymore Steve. Some of us were awake to your garbage more than 12 months ago. Even the players have swallowed the weight of that realisation now, as evidenced by their abject response to a perfunctory Arsenal performance.

not Steve sorry to disappoint you mate, ....just a 50 odd year long true blue who hopes against all hope that we stay-up and am looking for any stuff that can help calm the nerves...doesn't really work though! But facts is facts and we are not the worst team around..even though it seems like it!

Unfortunately the season isn't two months long and none of those other teams have an inexperienced deadweight at the helm or gross incomptents providing administration. If you can garner a crumb of comfort out of anything that you assert offers hope then I will counter that you are way behind the curve. It will take nothing short of a miracle and a previously unseen upturn in form to prevent Rovers getting relegated this season. Of more concern is the very existence of the club, not just will the club survive as we have known it over the last couple of decades.

yes I agree that the whole future of the club is in danger and that is the main thing we are all concerned about. I am just looking for crumbs of comfort from anywhere that can show some pathway to safety this season. And then maybe we can sort the long term future out. The reality is that the Rovers results over the last couple of months have been no worse than anyone else's in the bottom half of the table. That is not fiction nor statistics - these are just simple facts. Actual results. I would never have believed that until someone told me and I checked this out but its there in black and white...yes we are cr*p but so are most of the other teams around us and above us. If we had someone inspirational in charge now then based on the previous and current results then I would say we would have a better than even chance of survival - but with Kean still being here erodes those odds considerably.

Someone "inspirational" in charge to save us frenchie, was'nt that the road we went down a couple of years ago with big sam? Cheap tickets, the darwen end full, and roaring us on to victory....it's not going to happen this time.The fantastic party we've all enjoyed since the Jack walker era is well and truely over. We won't survive, simply because of kean and venkys. Someone said "god help us" I suppose thats a possibility...but only if Anderson is his agent!

Reality is that Big Sam knows at the start of the season how many wins we need to finish top ten and he simply targets the "win-able" games and achieves in them. At times this is to the detriment of entertainment and at times it means we sent a weakened side to places we "cant win" so that a full strength side is available for the "six pointers"
.
This mentality is a bit grim, but it is a means to an end and the squad gets better and stronger each year, enabling progress
.
Ironically,we have as good a set of players now than we did under Sam, due to spending on such as Dann, Yakubu and Formica
.
What we dont have though is a manager who knows how to prioritise, how to grind out results and we dont have owners who understand that pretty football and the glamour of the Premier League isnt everything
.
Its desperately sad.

Good points but I enjoyed supporting the Rovers for a long long time before Uncle Jack came along Kitch...even with all the many ups and downs - but yes the realization of all the long held dreams of big success and being first division champions and being in Europe only happened when thank god Uncle Jack came along and made ALL those dreams into reality in the nineties!

I still believe against all the odds that the dreams are not over yet.....that we can STILL stay-up, that Kean WILL go soon and that Venkys WILL sell us to someone who cares for our club and who will invest in it and run it properly once again.

Sam Allardyce, who was in charge of Blackburn Rovers for almost two years, was offered a list of players including Middlesbrough forward Kris Boyd and former Manchester City and Hull midfielder Geovanni after urging the club to sanction a January move for Tottenham striker Robbie Keane.
But having rejected plans by the Venky’s group, the Indian-based poultry company which secured a controlling interest at Ewood Park last month, to rely on advice from the sports agency Kentaro in relation to transfer targets, Allardyce was sacked by chairman John Williams on the orders of Venky’s.

Senior figures at Blackburn are understood to be angry at the failure of the Rao family, Venky’s owners, to inform Allardyce directly. Senior players last night contacted Allardyce to register their fury at his dismissal, with one labelling the decision a “disgrace”. Another, Ryan Nelsen, said: “I didn’t see it coming at all. Sam did an incredible job with limited resources. “I don’t know what the owners felt, but in the world we live in – the real world – he did incredibly well

The Trust should be ashamed for taking the money from the first set of chancers who came through the door. Also whilst all this has been going on the Trust have made no comment or expression of regret at the outcome.

Proper FOOTBALL supporter talking there.

It is not a time for supporters to gloat and goad.
This is an affront on English football (unfortunately it's us its happening to).

By the way many many decades back I visited Burnley regularly in their Heyday, easy with home and away arrangement between us.
In doing this I watched the great teams/players of the time: Man U, Derby, Leeds, City, Everton etc.
Let you into something here, of all I watched I came to admire and like Martin Dobson the most, up with all the greats, he was immense.
A quality footballer you only get to see once in a while.
Better than any centre half for us? my inkling is - yes.

Sorry, I disagree, I feel that this is an IDEAL time to gloat - all the Rovers fans who were harping on about global domination, European qualification and Marquee signings when Venky's took over - and laughing at Burnley as we didn't have a pot to **** in comparatively. Well I can put my feet up and laugh as the wheels gradually begin to come off the Rovers machine and you begin the slide back to where you belong - footballing oblivion.
