I know it will get Burnely fans backs up, but I think Howe is signing sub standard players too, many of them with a Bournemouth connection, so I think they will also have a battle to stay in the division.

The same fate of relegation will be upon us if Kean remains manager. If they insist on keeping him at the club, then maybe just as a training coach

We might be up against lesser standard teams this season but I still can't see us winning away games regularly under Kean. If last season's away performances are anything to go by then Kean must have the team up all night drinking in the hotel before away games.
Your standard is Championship Football no more no less. BRFC fans will now find out how hard the championship league is with constant Tues/Sat/Tues matches.
BRFC are no better or any less at this moment in time than any of the other teams.
Don't think it is going to be an easy ride and presume BRFC will easily beat the Clarets, the lack of experience in a more fiercer league will sorely test your team.
All BRFC fans should remember in the forthcoming season how the derisively called it the "Chumpionship" so welcome Chumps.

Just as a matter of interest, according to a share web site if you had invested 10,000 rands 1 year ago in Venky shares they are now worth just 7,285.15 Rands, not a very good return on your investment. Looks like even their chicken business is going down the pan.

A well run club based on sound values has been largely dismantled and little of substance appears to have been built to replace it. I may be wrong and am open to persuasion, but Venkys were unavailable for comment.

Your club is in total disarray, run and owned by inepts. Sad for BRFC you haven't a settled, consolidated and well organised club such as BFC. This season's first game will be a rude, sharp shock to anyone connected with BRFC.
Notice, no infantile insults BRFC won't be lording it over anyone, the only mincing that will happen is when BRFC are put through the grinder of reality that it is not a "special club" but one that is rapidly sinking to obscurity by the managements own actions.

Such arrogance! This is an article aimed at both sets of clubs. It is one for true fans to comment on amd not a platform for nthe constant whingeing, browbeating and tales of woe from a group of supporters who haven't the sense to face the reality that BRFC are a spent club, bereft of ideas, clued up owners or management.

Yes BRFC are a spent force, they should be renamed Venky Rovers. All the "moaners, whingers etc are facing the reality of the situation, that is why they are constantly trying to find ways of displacing these incompetent fools. No amount of baiting by others will deflect us from our main goal, getting rid of Kean and his troupe of circus performers.

I looked at some other championship clubs and Hull are at 440 quid for their cheapest ST, while Leeds are at £522. Newly-promoted Sheffield Wednesday adult ST is £365 for earlybird and 412 after. Forest are 370 for existing STs and 392 for new STs. Barnsley are one of the lowest at £335.
Burnley's cheapest ticket is 399 quid - but you can get 50 quid off that price if you buy one in the next two weeks. Their season tickets only went on sale today.
Blackpool had them on at 338 but they are now 384 quid.
Bolton's earlybird offer can be had for 285 with a full price of 319 quid. They say they had sold 11000 season tickets at the end of last week.
Cant see us getting more than 8000 ST sold before the season starts personally. Only way that will be any higher is if Kean and Venkys are gone in the next couple of weeks.
Should be some movement on selling the club soon....

How much money is actually generated by season ticket sales? Not anywhere near enough to force Venkys to sell I wouldn't have thought, so you are actually being counter-productive.
Ok so you have owners that have't got a clue and a manager who appears to be braindead, but so have a lot of clubs who have been relegated recently into various divisions - most of their supporters have still purchased their season tickets though because above all THE CLUB MEANS EVERYTHING.

Genuine, well organised and reasonable arguements such as are being put by the BRAG seem to me the only way out of your predicament.
Without rubbing it in or trying to rub salt into the wounds I wonder how all those who showed great delight in the sacking of Big Sam feel now?
The people who ran the Walker Foundation as well must shoulder some of the blame in their headlong rush to get rid of the club. I also agree that there could be a case of neglect under 'Due Diligence'. I can't help but feel those who are tryiong to take the club over from among the supporters won't be able to raise anywhere near the amount needed to purchase it. Then again, if they do who among them have the nounce to run a full professional club and take it forward?
In all honest I think it is sad to see what has happened but unless someone similar to the owners of Cardiff, Southampton etc comes along it is going to be a real rocky road for BRFC.
BFC has gone through nearly a similar situation in the past but not when saddled with the same type wage bill, self-centred players and owners who haven't a clue about what is expected in UK for running a club; a prime example is the proposed appointment of the go between for the Venkys and the club, I cannot remember his name but it seems his experience lies within Asia and not the UK.
So good luck except of course for 1st Dec and 16th March

Although the much-berated Fit and Proper Persons Test is nothing more than a box-ticking excercise to satisfy the PL that they won't have to step in and bail out a club, surely the executives at The Walker Trust should have seriously done their homework regarding selling something that was so close to their founder's heart.
They didn't and the supporters have ultimately paid the price for their greed.

I agree with the above comment about the Walker Foundation - what were they thinking? Although I appreciate that when Jack departed he was the driving force and the only one really interested in financially supporting Blackburn, it is like the rest of the family are sat there with their collective fingers in their ears saying La la la I cannot hear any of the problems at Blackburn now??

I am sure that when you add up the appearance money saved on all the players that did not play for that reason, it was no where near the cost of relegation. I'm not too sure if this point was put to the authorities by BRAG at the meetings, but it is also against premier league rules not to play your strongest side available.
I would say Ryan Nelson falls into the same category as as Michel, as the world and his wife were told he had a crippling injury and would never play again. Despite that he past a medical at Spurs and QPR!

1889 Football League 'Test Match', Stoke 0-0 Burnley
Suspicions of foul play in football go all the way back to the 19th century. At that time, the Football League only had two divisions; First and Second. At the end of the season, the top two teams from the Second Division and the bottom two from the first would enter a 'test match' play-off to decide which clubs would play top flight football the following campaign. All four teams would play each other for the remaining two places in the First Division. In the 1898 Test Matches, Stoke and Burnley entered the last game knowing that a draw would ensure both clubs' place with the elite, at the expense of Newcastle and Blackburn. What followed was a 0-0 result – the so-called 'match without a shot at goal'. This sparked claims of cheating and, consequently, Test Matches were immediately scrapped and automatic promotion and relegation was introduced.

Yeah yeah yeah, its always different for the bstrds innit?...how else do clubs find themselves going from top to bottom you cck. Your case is no different to many a club gone previously.
Your biggest problem now is not a footballing one. Your problem is that the infrastructure of the club is being dismantled. Football wise you could quickly recover if managed and financed correctly, but putting the infrastructure of a club back together again in the ruins of what remains is another task entirely. This would have to be done first if the football is to recover. There's a bloke with recent experience of such a task who may be able to give you a few tips, his name is Barry Kilby.

And the very last snippet of information that they will let loose (when they think that all the hatred has gone and that the coast is clear ) is that Steve Kean has been retained as manager of Blackburn Rovers Football Club.

If Kean went and we couldn't get a replacement in we would be no worse off. He can't pick a winning team so even the tea lady would do a better job.

Some clubs over load themselves with debt and come unstuck. Some mis-manage the books and come unstuck. Some make a poor choice of manager and blindly back them until the money is gone then come unstuck. Some bid to cash in on their most valued players and develop the ones further down.
Poor ownership is poor ownership and you are no different to other clubs who have been failed by poor owners. I know it feels unique to you but sadly you're not the first and doubtless the last.
Glasgow Rangers look like having to reform and start all over again from the bottom. I'd say their fans have it worse than you.
Its no good bleating on to everybody about your terrible demise, its just a sad fact of footballing life these days that clubs occaisionally do a wobble for whatever reason and sink. People are hardened to it now so you'll just have to wait for it to finish then look to rebuild what is left i.e. Burnley, Leeds, Portsmouth, Rangers, etc.
By then venky's may have decided to change the club colours to red and do away with the club badge in favour of a new one, but i suppose you'll bleat on that this can only happen to you lot.

I'll try to make it simple for you.
Rovers have had good times and bad, been relegated before, but still loyally supported the club.
For us, having corrupt and incompetent management and ownership dismantling our club is a new experience.
Many feel that it has gone too far and withdrawing financial support is the only way to encourage them to leave.
If this was happening at Burnley I'm sure you would still be there throwing your money at them, singing your happy songs and never complaining.
There is a famous quote, "all that is required for evil to triumph is for good men to do nothing".
Its highly unlikely anybody would ever go asset-stripping in Burnley but if they did I'm sure you would sit back and smile.
Each to his own.

I've heard there's a big park in Burnley, so why don't you go for there for a nice stroll and try and relieve some of that bitter, twisted hate and resentment you seem to have built up for Rovers.

No Mark Nay Never is a great example of someone who doesn't understand that this is a very different scenario to his club where they are at least trying to succeed but just are not good enough.
Some clubs over load themselves with debt and come unstuck. Some mis-manage the books and come unstuck. Some make a poor choice of manager and blindly back them until the money is gone then come unstuck. Some bid to cash in on their most valued players and develop the ones further down.
Poor ownership is poor ownership and you are no different to other clubs who have been failed by poor owners. I know it feels unique to you but sadly you're not the first and doubtless the last.
Glasgow Rangers look like having to reform and start all over again from the bottom. I'd say their fans have it worse than you.
Its no good bleating on to everybody about your terrible demise, its just a sad fact of footballing life these days that clubs occaisionally do a wobble for whatever reason and sink. People are hardened to it now so you'll just have to wait for it to finish then look to rebuild what is left i.e. Burnley, Leeds, Portsmouth, Rangers, etc.
By then venky's may have decided to change the club colours to red and do away with the club badge in favour of a new one, but i suppose you'll bleat on that this can only happen to you lot.
