I saw it yesterday and the really interesting bit is where they show the end of a press conference (to introduce Gomes I think) and Kean gets up at the end and walks straight past Shebby and out the room without even acknowledging him or even looking at him. It was very telling and there is certainly no love lost there between those two. Kean must really hate Shebby, as his little Stevie-empire is being overseen now, which is good news for all of us. Cos if Kean doesn't toe the Shebby/Venky line then he will be out sooner than anyone thought possible.
    Yes, Mr French very telling indeed. One thing I do believe here is that Shebby is the enforcer for failure, and should fire this sorry ****'d imposter if and when he does just that ? What I would give for BRFC to succeed this Championship season ! Dann linked with Southampton. Better someone gets on the phone to find a replacement for our creaking defense ! Still no reply from LET on email ? I'll go back in late today see if I can get it nailed ? The sun is out here thus eat your heart out !! Arte et labore
    Hi RR - lovely day here too - expected to be 30 plus for the next two weeks. They back to the dreary mid twenties C. The endless sunshine does get a bit boring and I do miss the black clouds from Manchester that I used to watch fondly sailing past Darwen Tower every day. No reply from the LET on our requests. If you can do anything from your side that would be good. As for Desperate Dann going to Southampton, well that could be a good hat-trick for him -would make it three clubs he took down from the prem - Birmingham, Rovers and Southampton! Maybe our defence will improve just with his absence... Bon apres-midi RR.
    Will do Mr French.......... We are lapping up the sun while we have it, and Darwen Tower is looking good today under the glow of the sun ! Rolling dark clouds soon to return, but not just yet ! Bon apres-midi FR
    Enough of this playful banter boys; time for some action.

    Get it on.."

Rao: Shebby will make real difference

VENKATESH Rao believes Shebby Singh will prove pivotal to restoring relations between Blackburn Rovers and their fans as the club target an immediate return to the Premier League.

Singh was appointed as Rovers’ new global advisor earlier this summer and has been given the role of overseeing events at Ewood Park as Venky’s attempt to turn around the club’s fortunes, with relegation leaving many supporters disillusioned with both the owners and manager Steve Kean.

“Unless they are happy, we are not happy,” Rao said about the fans. “The day they are happy, we are happy.

“We are trying to bring all of the changes, whether it is players or management, at the end of the day the fans will look at the results.

“Now he (Singh) is here to talk to the fans, build relations, tackle the local problems day to day and see that they are satisfied. He is right there at the ground level and that’s what he’s doing now – not only talking to fans but also talking to players, talking to other management.

“I think overall it’s a very good move and you will see the fruits.”

Venky’s resisted calls to change the manager, however, with Kean remaining in place.

Rao was non-committal about Kean’s future at the start of the summer but now says they decided to be loyal to the Scot.

“Usually what happens is that we just change X, Y, Z, we change the manager and the pressure is off,” he said.

“But that’s not the end of the story, the reality is that we have to produce results, we have to give some time out and we have to work like a team and unfortunately this (relegation) has happened.

“But I hope and know God willing we will go back as fast as possible.

“We met a couple of times, we have a series of meetings and he is also under pressure and we want to get back as fast as possible because that’s where we belong.”
