We are top of the league and unbeaten, we have signed some good players and we have had our best start since 1994. But still you want Kean sacked. If he went through the whole of the season unbeaten would you still want him sacked?

Yes he never did a good job last season infact he should have been sacked at christmas but he wasnt. He stuck at his job ignored the abuse and built a new team to get us back. At the moment he is doing the best anyone could do - so give the man a break. If you are a true rovers fan you will get behind the team whoever the manager is. And remember half of the players who got us relegated last season are still there but you are not telling them to leave - remember Hendry helped us win the premier league (probably one of the reasons why some of our fans support us) - he is a legend. SO GET BEHIND ROVERS OR SHUT UP

What do you want us to start losing so kean can be sacked ! Whos ays anyone else could do a better job

We only want him removed because we want a proper, experienced manager to organise the team. You've seen the shambles of a defence on the pitch. Do you not want that.

Yes, if given choice I would love a more experienced manager to organise our team. Last night our centre halfs were dreadful! Hanley in particular. However, realistically whilst we are still winning Kean won't be given the sack. If given a choice I would take winning over losing any day of the week.

He won't be sacked whilst there are 12,000 in the ground every week.

If however the ground was almost empty I'm almost certain he would be sacked......Think about it.... Let's have a proper manager.

No i'm not bragging Mike. I'am a Rovers supporter of over 50 years. My husband and I (Jack Walker Stand) My son ,daughter in law and Grandson (Darwen End) My eldest son and daughter (Riverside) are all staying away until Kean has gone. Venky's I can forgive if they remove Kean.

Winning the Championship is not an achievement. He won't have achieved a thing until he gets us back to being a mid-table Premiership club. He may well go for the rest of the season unbeaten, but it doesn't prove anything. We're playing poorly and it's not good football to watch. There's no way that we'll regain our status as a stable premier league club playing like this. I agree the negativity is far from necessary or wanted, but what you're saying is nonsense.

Hendry helped us win the premier league , yes and when Rangers came calling his quote was "I`m moving back to Scotland to be close to my family" when after a few months when it was obvious he could not get a game at Rangers (total 21 games ) he was desperate to get back down south , in fact went to Coventry , HENDRY showed his loyalty was only for his pay packet not Rovers ,not Scotland not to be close to anyone,family , nonsense he quotes on the L.E.T. " no one can blame me for wanting to be close to my family" it was absolute crap. his loyalty is to anyone who pays him the most, and Rovers loyalty should be to the people that do a good job and bring credibility to the club and HENDRY DOES NEITHER..

No I have never seen a manger at Ewood claim to need a bodyguard.
No I have seen a manager claim to forfeit a quarter final.
No I have never seen a manager who is unsackable.

Now I'am a middle aged semi retired family woman, not a protester or a trouble maker. I do not enjoy seeing an empty stadium but to coin one of Keans sayings "sometimes we have to take a step backwards to take two forwards" If missing homes games helps get rid of this man, then it is worth it for the long term good of our Rovers.

They wouldn't sack him whilst we were a shambles in the Premier League and got relegated, so they aint gonna sack him after he's spent millions and we're top of the league.I understand to a degree fans boycotting the games, I for one didn't renew my ST and cringe every time that lying manipulative propaganda merchant opens his mouth but the facts are what they are, we are top of the league with a far superior squad than anyone else in this division, so much so even the worst manager in our history surely can't fail to at least get us in the play-offs at least. I guarantee that should we go up it would only be a matter of time before he gets the chop because his management skills are so poor, we would just get hung out to dry in the Prem yet again. I say we try fill the ground and support the lads. F@ck Kean and the chicken brigade and roll on derby day against Envy FC!

Because teams in the premier league have to pay substantially more in salaries the parachute payments are essential. Without these payments relegated clubs would go bust. Take Burnley for example they too also moaned about the unfair advantage, and yet they changed their tune when they got relegated and found they needed these payments to survive. And personally I think this £8m we paid has had to come from Venky's own pockets because they realize how much we need to get back up to access the huge amounts of premiership money. Vey silly comments from mr. hill - how many relegated teams have gone on a spending spree the answer is none unless they have a rich chairman

Those who saqy they are fans but dont want to watch our team are only hurting themselves and not the club. when it comes to it and we win the league will you be able to say "I was there" Yes only a few matches gone but get behind the team and start acting like real fans - saying that, how many are staying away due to your friend or neighbour and you are afraid to say otherwise. Get behind the team or shut up

Whatever we think, the summer acquisitions are good signings in the main. There's a lot of talk about defence and defenders, but if you look at it, by the end of last season, we had no strikers (Yakubu gone and Goodwillie, well, being Goodwillie), so we absolutely needed strikers: and you need 3 or 4 to cover injuries. Case in point, we have two strikers out right now. Defensively, we have Orr, Olsson, Olsson, Givet, Dann, Hanley, Lowe and I'm sure someone like Etuhu could play at the back too, plus the youngsters, which means we don't need defenders (you may want to buy better quality ones, but they aren't a necessity in the same way as strikers were). The problem for me is not the defence per se, it's the lack of ability of the midfield and forwards to defend that means that the defenders are hopelessly exposed and over-stretched, resulting in mistakes. People hark back to the Premier League winning side, they defended from Shearer through Atkins and Sherwood, Wilcox and Ripley, to the back four - we don't do that now and we need to learn to.

That said, with Rhodes and Gomes up front, I think we're going to think we can outscore anyone to be honest.

Only my opinion, don't ask anyone else to agree with it.

Hi Cheshire Good post, not biased either way, the only thing I disagree with you is your statement on basically the small crowds don't bother the Venkys, I have posted on more than one occasion this is at the top of the agenda at every board meeting, I stated the ST offer would be extended, it happened, I know posts are placed on here by Ewood Park staff, don't underestimate the effect those that are boycotting are having, there will be more press releases from Agnew and co for the fans to come back, yes it is hurting them and we are winning this battle to have Kean removed have no doubt. Kean sacked Fans back.

Last night it was dreadful.
The defence is shocking. I have a 5 year old boy that would not make the mistakes that were being made last night.
However, as I have said all along I think we will get promoted because of the amount of goals we can score
Anyone know what Hendry is coaching our defence?
At least we are still top. Bring on Boro and hopefully a clean sheet.

I still cannot believe Hanley and Dann both passing the ball to opposing forwards in frot of our unmarked goal I played in the Blackburn and Burnley combinations and cannot recall opposition defenders ever giving me the ball like that in front of their goal.
We wont get promoted unless he brings in replacements as that match highlighted a lot of problems which were covered up by the fanastic Rhodes and Nuno Gomes. Murphy was poor and slow in the first half and was guilty of miss passes Pederson was awful but we are used to that and Orr kept holding his ribs rather than progressing forward and was another useless defender,Ollson had a good game and tried to attack on the left but we did not have any right sided attack at all so the side is also tactically imbalanced.

We are top of the league and unbeaten, we have signed some good players and we have had our best start since 1994. But still you want Kean sacked. If he went through the whole of the season unbeaten would you still want him sacked?

Yes he never did a good job last season infact he should have been sacked at christmas but he wasnt. He stuck at his job ignored the abuse and built a new team to get us back. At the moment he is doing the best anyone could do - so give the man a break. If you are a true rovers fan you will get behind the team whoever the manager is. And remember half of the players who got us relegated last season are still there but you are not telling them to leave - remember Hendry helped us win the premier league (probably one of the reasons why some of our fans support us) - he is a legend. SO GET BEHIND ROVERS OR SHUT UP

What do you want us to start losing so kean can be sacked ! Whos ays anyone else could do a better job

Winning the Championship is not an achievement. He won't have achieved a thing until he gets us back to being a mid-table Premiership club. He may well go for the rest of the season unbeaten, but it doesn't prove anything. We're playing poorly and it's not good football to watch. There's no way that we'll regain our status as a stable premier league club playing like this. I agree the negativity is far from necessary or wanted, but what you're saying is nonsense.

i have watched rovers for 40 years now and was disgusted last season by some of the so called fans during a live match - to say it one way it was embarrassing. Now not satisfied with them selves and with our team sat at the top they are now saying they want us to get beaten and drop down the table so our manager can be sacked! So you call yourselves fans but you want your team to get beat every week - I know football has changed but i am sure when you support a team you also want them to win. Look at yourselves you are a disgrace to say you are rovers fans no rovers fan no matter who is in charge of the club should want their team to lose.

Firstly, I never want Rovers to get beat, and as very reluctant stay away, match days are agony. But like many supporters I feel everyone who bought a season ticket or turns up at home games is basically giving a "YES" vote to Kean.

Those of you who regard yourselves as "true fans" by turning up at Ewood I kind of understand, but the totally odious turncoats & Kean apologists now asking us to give him a chance can go to hell.

What you represent is the man who`s family barbecue is gatecrashed by the neighbourhood nasty (Kean) and his crony mates. They have sex with your wife, mollest your daughters, relieve themselves on the cat and sh-t in your favorite armchair watching your telly with your remote control, stub out fags on your DVD`s. Then as they leave, they phone the police to complain about the noise at the party and that they are concerned about their safety.
The police heed their complaints and warn you as to your future conduct.

Several months later you go down the local for a drink and bump into the nasty neighbour, being the "Wuss" that you are, you don`t confront him because that would need courage and conviction, you don`t even boycott the pub until he is no longer drinking there. Instead you let him buy you a pint, you listen as he explains it was all a big misunderstanding and from now he will change, after all it was he that was the victim,ask his social worker.

After a few more pints and a game of pool, you leave the pub singing to the night with him, come around anytime "Stevie" you can screw the wife anytime you like mate, infact bring your mates around too, I have daughters.

After all, We are top of the League and that makes the past go away. "NOT"

I'm not sure Coiln Hendry is one of the two most hated men in Blackburn - I just remember him as one of Rovers best ever players and so should everyone else. Boycotting the match is silly. It achieves nothing. As long as Rovers keep winning, Kean is safe. I can't go along with those pathetic fans - and to be honest, you sound like one of them - that would rather see Rovers struggle in this league, so that Kean gets sacked. Surely, all true fans want to bounce back to the Premiership. Then Venky's can think about replacing him because the club would be a more attractive proposition.

Those who saqy they are fans but dont want to watch our team are only hurting themselves and not the club. when it comes to it and we win the league will you be able to say "I was there" Yes only a few matches gone but get behind the team and start acting like real fans - saying that, how many are staying away due to your friend or neighbour and you are afraid to say otherwise.

I broke my promise last night and went with my lads. The only way I could cope was to pretend that I could not see kean at all. The atmosphere was dreadful despite the win and the excitement of seeing the wonderful Rhodes play. What the tactics were I have no idea. Casually giving the ball away in defence, failing to press the opposition and a lack of trying to find space ( apart from Rhodes and Gomes when he came on ) can mainly be blamed on inept coaching and management. I was on two of the first three protest marches and attended the first three post match protests as I had concluded the only chance of avoiding relegation was to get the idiot out. I still believe that this was the case. HOWEVER the mass boycott is now threatening to damage us as much as bonehead is. The longer it goes on, the fewer will ever step foot in Ewood again, nevermind be regulars. We will not change things by staying away - our owners are deluded fools who are beyond reason. All we can hope is that when kean goes we are as high up the league as possible and that our crowds are as large as possible. At the end of the season I hope the manager out campaign is relaunched as actively as possible whichever division we are in - hopefully after a promoti

Now I'am a middle aged semi retired family woman, not a protester or a trouble maker. I do not enjoy seeing an empty stadium but to coin one of Keans sayings "sometimes we have to take a step backwards to take two forwards" If missing homes games helps get rid of this man, then it is worth it for the long term good of our Rovers.

By not attending I'am not part of Kean or Agnews PR spin that all is well in Blackburn and that the fans attending back Kean.

I see Birmingham City attracted only about 2,000 more than us last night against Bolton. Huge city and club as they are.

This is a top post and one that makes a lot of sense but it'll take a lot more to get me to renew my ticket.

Attendanceshave dropped every home game this eaon as people realise no change in Keans dire footbal. I predict 10,000 on Friday and I implore let the camaras do the talking for us on Friday and hope there are only 8,000 in attendance...C,MON GUYS JOIN IN THE BOYCOTT FOR 1 GAME, HELP US GET KEAN OUT.

Think you'll find attendances will start to rise. Or when was the last time we had two midweek games? was the attendance down or up on a regular saturday?
I think you already know te answer to that one. As I say the yardstick will be a home attendance on a saturday. Then you'll know whether its gone up or down. and my prediction is it will be up.

If I remember rightly fans were coming on here saying they were renewing their season tickets because of the Murphy signing, bet they regret it now.

All the good signings have been made by Shebby, Kean would have wasted the money on even more dross.

I believe Kean should have been sacked last year and he is very clearly a very very poor manager out of his depth even at this level.

I can understand why people refuse to go to Ewood and I can understand why others continue to go.

What about if all fans unite and agree to fill the ground at ONE up and coming home fixture, imagine if we can get 30,000 fans to support the team. WHAT WILL THAT SAY TO VENKYS

Remove Kean and we will come, an extra 17,000 fans for one home game. Even Venkys cannot turn that much revenue down. The boycotting fans can continue their boycott after this one game and the crowd will go back to 13,000.

This could be a massive PR stunt for the fans and another way to show the media that fans are willing and ready to return to Ewood when Kean is gone.

Remove Kean and we will come, an extra 17,000 fans for one home game. Even Venkys cannot turn that much revenue down. The boycotting fans can continue their boycott after this one game and the crowd will go back to 13,000.

This could be a massive PR stunt for the fans and another way to show the media that fans are willing and ready to return to Ewood when Kean is gone.

Good idea, or fill it one week and empty it the next. Fan power will win in the end if we can unite,there is no doubt the noose is tightening.

Like the one week full one week empty protest, you couldn't get more visual than that. I like this idea as it shows how many they would get if they dunked the doughnut and also how many he is keeping away. Maybe the protest organisers can sort that one out. Good idea.

We are top of the league and unbeaten, we have signed some good players and we have had our best start since 1994. But still you want Kean sacked. If he went through the whole of the season unbeaten would you still want him sacked? Yes he never did a good job last season infact he should have been sacked at christmas but he wasnt. He stuck at his job ignored the abuse and built a new team to get us back. At the moment he is doing the best anyone could do - so give the man a break. If you are a true rovers fan you will get behind the team whoever the manager is. And remember half of the players who got us relegated last season are still there but you are not telling them to leave - remember Hendry helped us win the premier league (probably one of the reasons why some of our fans support us) - he is a legend. SO GET BEHIND ROVERS OR SHUT UP What do you want us to start losing so kean can be sacked ! Whos ays anyone else could do a better job

Do this for the good of BRFC, it's not about winning football matches anymore it's clearing out the vermin and getting our great club it's great name back.

I was once proud to be a supporter of BLACKBURN ROVERS not anymore, not until Uncle Jack can sleep easy will I return.

Kean AND Hendry out

Fans in!

i'd actually prefer it if you stayed away

I predict less than 12,000 on Friday.

No thanks, I'll be going as usual and cheering on my team

No need to thank me. I'm only pointing out the attendances are dwindling already, because of what is being served up on the pitch.....Even though we are top.

Top = Dwindling attendances ?????

Think you'll find attendances will start to rise. Or when was the last time we had two midweek games? was the attendance down or up on a regular saturday?
I think you already know te answer to that one. As I say the yardstick will be a home attendance on a saturday. Then you'll know whether its gone up or down. and my prediction is it will be up.

I admire your optimism. Any comments on the performances and can the run last ?

UNDERSTAND and if it was done it would work and be great , but these so called Spartans (needy people) would not boycott the game that was pre-planned to be empty , they would still go ,and that is why it would not work , these childish so called spartans have not a tad of determination nor willpower.

Yes I have been a fan for over 50 years Yes I have seen worse football Yes I have seen worse league positions Yes I have seen lower crowds Yes I remember how poor we where pre Jack Walker No I have never seen a manager lie under oath and blame Rovers fans. No I have seen a manager find relegation as a positive. No I have never seen a manger drunkenly slander a fellow manager. No I have never seen a manager call Rovers fans doughnuts No I have never seen a manger turn fan on fan No I have never seen a manager get directors removed from the club. No I have never seen a manager survive with Kean's results. No I have never seen a team play 90 mins without a single shot. No I have never seen a manger lose 7 or 8,000 fans in 18 months. No I have never seen a manger at Ewood claim to need a bodyguard. No I have seen a manager claim to forfeit a quarter final. No I have never seen a manager who is unsackable. Now I'am a middle aged semi retired family woman, not a protester or a trouble maker. I do not enjoy seeing an empty stadium but to coin one of Keans sayings "sometimes we have to take a step backwards to take two forwards" If missing homes games helps get rid of this man, then it is worth it for the long term good of our Rovers. By not attending I'am not part of Kean or Agnews PR spin that all is well in Blackburn and that the fans attending back Kean. I'l leave you with this thought........... What would the Great Uncle Jack make of Steve Keans antics??

The only way I could cope was to pretend that I could not see kean at all.

The atmosphere was dreadful despite the win and the excitement of seeing the wonderful Rhodes play.

What the tactics were I have no idea. Casually giving the ball away in defence, failing to press the opposition and a lack of trying to find space ( apart from Rhodes and Gomes when he came on ) can mainly be blamed on inept coaching and management.

I was on two of the first three protest marches and attended the first three post match protests as I had concluded the only chance of avoiding relegation was to get the idiot out. I still believe that this was the case.

HOWEVER the mass boycott is now threatening to damage us as much as bonehead is. The longer it goes on, the fewer will ever step foot in Ewood again, nevermind be regulars. We will not change things by staying away - our owners are deluded fools who are beyond reason.

All we can hope is that when kean goes we are as high up the league as possible and that our crowds are as large as possible.

At the end of the season I hope the manager out campaign is relaunched as actively as possible whichever division we are in - hopefully after a promoti

I guarantee that should we go up it would only be a matter of time before he gets the chop because his management skills are so poor, we would just get hung out to dry in the Prem yet again. I say we try fill the ground and support the lads. F@ck Kean and the chicken brigade and roll on derby day against Envy FC!

A few games with an empty stadium and he will be gone regardless of where we are in the league

i'd actually prefer it if you stayed away

I predict less than 12,000 on Friday.

No thanks, I'll be going as usual and cheering on my team

No need to thank me. I'm only pointing out the attendances are dwindling already, because of what is being served up on the pitch.....Even though we are top.

Top = Dwindling attendances ?????

Think you'll find attendances will start to rise. Or when was the last time we had two midweek games? was the attendance down or up on a regular saturday?
I think you already know te answer to that one. As I say the yardstick will be a home attendance on a saturday. Then you'll know whether its gone up or down. and my prediction is it will be up.

I think the yardstick will be how many fans the opposition bring with them, Leeds,Birmingham,Din

gles,Blackpool,Cardi

ff, these are more likely to bring a decent following and improve the attendance compared to the likes of Barnsley and lesser supported clubs. Not sure that the home support will be increased Saturdays or midweek. If you really want a change of the bungling manager,ask yourself,what are you doing to influence the owners to remove him?. If you are doing nothing,then you must be happy with Kean. In which case any anti Kean views you express become irrelevant otherwise you would at least come up with an alternative to the boycott.

Yes, it is slightly disappointing to witness such a low attendance but to all the armchair whingers I would say this:
I would rather have 13,000 loyal committed supporters than another 5,000 Premiership-Only pretenders. The atmosphere in the ground is much better and is undoubtedly a contributing factor to the results and performances that will take back to the Premiership, with its untold riches next season so please continue to support the club in the best way you know how, by staying away.
If you really think that your futile protest is hurting the club then you really are commercially naiive. Annual lost revenue from 5,000 season tickets is roughly equivalent to David Dunn's wages so we need not look too far to see how the club might scrape by without you.
Enjoy your Friday night in front of the telly...............

..you can watch Emmerdale and hurl abuse at the Dingles instead of Steve Kean!

YES BUT THEY WILL STILL HAVE OUR MONEY , INDIAN BUSINESSMEN /WOMEN DO NOT LIKE LOSING MONEY , BY BOYCOTTING EWOOD THEY LOSE MONEY ,AND IN THE END THAT WILL FORCE THEIR HAND ,THE PEOPLE BOYCOTTING THE GAMES ARE THE ONES THAT ARE SACRIFICING FOR THE GOOD OF ALL , AGAIN ITS A CASE OF THE LIONS LEADING THE LAMBS , THE LAMBS CALL THEMSELVES STUPIDLY SPARTANS.

The lions are just hiding behind premier league glory and, as there is none to be had, pretend they would go if Kean wasn't there. You are a typical example of a premier league glory hunter.

I call upon all supporters to Boycott this Fridays match.

Keep this up (top of the league and attendances falling) we are winning this battle against the cancer in our beloved club, let's get rid of the two most hated people in Blackburn (Sk&CH)

Do this for the good of BRFC, it's not about winning football matches anymore it's clearing out the vermin and getting our great club it's great name back.

I was once proud to be a supporter of BLACKBURN ROVERS not anymore, not until Uncle Jack can sleep easy will I return.

Yep, someone else has already come up with an alternative to a boycott. Attend one home game, don't attend the next. Even me as a spartan can see the sense in this. Keanochio and his band of numpters would't be able to say weve lost all the fans through relegation and also that we are winning them back. This would be the fans saying if you Fkced Kean off this is how many would turn up every home match and if you don't pot the clown the normal boycott could continue. Couldn't get a bigger message than that across.

Well said Peter Gray....I know we have differed in opinions once or twice on here but then that is what this blog is for...but I do agree with your sentiments about not staying away any longer. It is not doing any good to the long term future of the club. Venkys are not for change (not yet anyway) but the Odious one will go at some stage that is for sure - but not because of the low attendances. The stay-aways are only hurting themselves by not watching a winning team while they can. I see many posts saying that the team is only just scraping wins and that it wont last.....perhaps hoping that is right justifies them not going or at least makes not going more easy for them if we lose some games. But we should remeber we are Blackburn Rovers and Barcelona. We will take any win in any fashion, points make prizes. We should not forget that we got relegated last season because we were a very poor side and had a rubbish manager. Well half that team is still playing this season and we still have a rubbish manager - BUT - the players that have come in are still settling into the side yet we are getting the right results. I think that yes we may well lose one or two games along the way (we are not Barca remember) but overall we will only get better as the season goes on. I know your decision was difficult Peter - as it will be for a lot of the folks on here - but we need your kids and others to get down and support the team. The kids are our future fan base for the 'post' Kean and Venkys days to come. Taking them down when we are top of the table and winning is excellent stuff. Well done sir.

Ru insane . look up in wilki why in Germany ? if you refused to say "SIEG HEIL" or "'HEIL HITLER" you were regarded as disloyal to the fatherland and then put into a concentration camp , you seem to think the Rovers supporters that act with dignity and morals that are not prepared to fund the Kean mafioso are in your words premier league glory hunters , and should toe the partyy line, why would you make a remark like that ? " oh you of little faith" stick together and WE WILL have our club back..

Mr. French, I cannot help noticing how you and a few others evince the idea of winning ugly. And yet you and others were at the forefront of the anti Big Sam brigade when we were winning ugly in the Premiership and not a division below.
Please explain.

Kean is right about one thing.
Last night it was dreadful.
The defence is shocking. I have a 5 year old boy that would not make the mistakes that were being made last night.
However, as I have said all along I think we will get promoted because of the amount of goals we can score
Anyone know what Hendry is coaching our defence?
At least we are still top. Bring on Boro and hopefully a clean sheet.

the 10,000 that appeared stayed whilst we were in the old Division 1 (now the championship) I remember us playing Portsmouth on a Sunday afternoon and there was 30,000 at Ewood! If we're gonna go on about the past, what about the 50's and 60's when gates were averaging 20 thousand?! Are you another obsessed dingle?

"Loss due to non Prem status: 5000" I assume you have their names and addresses?
