How safe is the future of our well respected and at one time very closely envied (by most prem teams) Brockhall Academy? Does the influx of young foreign players this summer herald a change in Rovers youth policy? Could this be a prelude to the winding-up of the center and the end of the excellent stream of talent that the Academy has provided many of whom have gone on to star in the first team and represent their home countries at International level? Hope not but what do you hear/think Andy?.

2. Keeping on the eisting management
3. Spending a net 5m in each transfer window
4. Listening to the fans.

SS said that SK would be sacked if we lost 3 games at any point of the season or if we don't reach 16 points from the first 7 games.

If either of these things were to happen do you (AC) believe SS will honour his promise and sack Kean or will SK remain at the club, no matter what ?

And, if this were the case, what does that do to SS credability ?

You may recall he backtracked on just about anything and everything he said at the fan's meeting.

Credibility? He has NEVER had any.

Given Kean's disastrous reign as manager. Do you, during your meetings with Kean, ever ask,or get the impression that,here is a manager who has alienated the fans,produced a shocking brand of football,and a managerial record that can only be described as a complete failure, does he ever acknowledge his failures? Has he ever considered resigning? Does he believe that he is unsackable? Has he at any time admitted responsibility for his part in the downfall of this great club? If these questions have not been put to Kean, why not?

Do you think that the abuse directed at kean has been personal in nature?

this may have been asked of you before - as an apparent senior member of the management team - and staggeringly one of the longest serving following the departure of some highly respected individuals - have you asked Mr Kean what responsibility he accepts for the failures he has presided over and influenced - relegation, appallingly bad transfer decisions, season ticket renewals, low crowds, reputational issues, relationships with supporters, treatment of players - in any other business this man would have had to accept responsibility and would have been sacked - or if he had any dignity whatsoever he would have resigned.

Have you asked him - or will you ask him - and continue to ask him until he is forced into providing a public reply. He simply cannot ignore the near 100% view of supporters that he is simply not wanted irrespective of his ability as a coach or whatever - he will never have the respect of ordinary, decent people - the people who have supported the Rovers generation after generation.

Why does Steve Kean get to set his own targets at Blackburn Rovers. For example this year his claimed target is promotion, last season his stated target was a top half finish. Will he be held to account for these targets and does he still expect to achieve Champions League qualification for 2014/15?
