COMMENT: Rovers MUST get this decision right (From Lancashire Telegraph)

HENDRY BEING INTERVIEWED ON TALKSPORT THIS MORNING, Alan Brazil to Hendry --"Colin who do you think is best person to be manager at Rovers now ?" Hendry replies --"The man in the job right now , he TICKS all the boxes , he is the best man". Alan Brazil -- The last 3 results have not been very good. Hendry replies -- Me and Eric did everything we possibly could to get a result against WOLVES but it did not work. So they did everything they could ,Black and Hendry to get a result against Wolves but it did not work , sounds to me that is basically the same thing as saying you cannot do the JOB. Also the words Hendry used this morning "Black ticks all the boxes" are exactly the same words he used when talking about Steve Kean just before he got his job as defensive coach at Rovers he said about Kean "Steven ticks all the boxes and the majority of Rovers fans are fully supportive of him" then lo and behold A FEW WEEKS LATER HENDRY GETS APPOINTED AS DEFENSIVE COACH . I SUPPOSE HENDRY WITH HIS BACKGROUND WOULD SAY "THE TEA LADY TICKS ALL THE RIGHT BOXES TO BE MANAGER AT ROVERS" IF IT MEANT HIM KEEPING HIS JOB.

The advice that the Venky's are listening to comes from their own appointee Shebby Singh. He is nothing more than a loquacious, erractic TV critic with no demonstrable knowledge of how to run a football club. The appointment of a manager is just a side show. Whoever is appointed their primary difficulty will not be in dealing with players and tactics but managing the owners who so far have shown no sign of being willing to seek and accept good advice. The club's difficulties will, unfortunately, continue beyond the appointment of the next manager.

Well if you actually attended BRAG meetings - like I would recomend to any Rovers fans who actually wanted to know what was going on within their own club - then you would know that BRAG have documented proof that both SK and PA attended a meeting with "Venky advisor" (haha) JA approx 3 months before the actual purchase.

Infact, the meeting is well documented so it would be interesting if Andy Cryer actually asked Paul Agnew WHY both he (who was simply "BRFC press officer" and Steve Kean (3rd coach to the 1st team) at that time, WHY they flew to India with JA (who did have a reason for attending the meeting as he was THE nominated "advisor" to Venkys) - but WHY were Kean and Agnew as in India for the meeting ????

Isn't it strange that the third in line team coach was at the meeting, but the manager ( Allardyce ) wasn't, and probably knew nothing about it.

I am not yet concerned about Shebby. As far as I can see all he has done so far is contrived to have Kean removed, for which he deserves a medal, and wound up a few of the midfield who thought they had a job for life.

The test will be which manager he appoints, and most fans cannot even agree on that - Shearer, yes or no?

Well I'm sure it was just a conicidence - just like it was COINCIDENCE that a man at that original meeting in India (Steve Kean) then became Rovers manager.

And I'm sure it was just a COINCIDENCE that that man (Steve Kean) had Jerome Anderson (a man also at that meeting in India) as his agent.

I'm sure it was also just a COINCIDENCE that the 3 assistant managers, who all served under SK were all Jerome Anderson clients (Jensen, Clement and Black).

I also think its just COINCIDENCE that (at least) 4 if not all 6 of the Portugese signings this summer were made through a Portugese agent with links to Jerome Andersons Portugese office - although, personally, I think thats just a COINCIDENCE !

And its funny - the more you delve into things that have happened at BRFC over the last 2 years the more you keep triping over this one word - COINCIDENCE - how very bizarre !!

Still, I'm sure thats just COINCIDENTAL.

Wild Rover never seems to have anything to say on football related matters. Only ever comes on here to have a go at fellow supporters, who dare to question the shambles and mis-managment that has happened at Ewood Park this last two years. Why ? Over to you Wild Rover.

Can't wait for the results of BRAG findings to to be investigated fully and brought out in the open, but can't understand why it's taking so long.
I fully believe something dodgy has been going on this last two years, hence the silence of Venkeys' ( still ongoing ) and the ' disappearance' of Anderson.

Shebby is not appointing the Manger - the (absent) owners are. Fans can speculate but we do not have a say on anything at the Club. The only choice we have is whether to buy / use season tickets, pay money at the turnstile, in the shop, bars, food stalls, corporate hospitality, etc. You can vote with your feet and your wallet but will Venky's take any notice?; Mrs. D. never comes to games and the rest leave ten minutes before the end or even at half-time. My money is on the Indian 'Coach' getting the job with Shebby being promoted to Director of Football - Mrs. D. keeping it in the family, so to speak. Shebby will do what he is told, along with Shaw and the invisible man, Agnew. PS: It's Thursday; have they drawn up their short-list yet?

The applicants are only interested in the money Shearer has never said he wants the job he only said he would talk to the club because its a lovely club.

The best applicants are the hungry for success younger guys with a track record like Hill.Hollowar,Ole Gunnar etc etc its a waste of time looking at Keane Souness and McCarthy as they are not hungry manager's and are jaded in my opinion.I am sure Glen Hoddle is the right guy as he has been away and has an appetite to get back into football management again.

The applicants are only interested in the money Shearer has never said he wants the job he only said he would talk to the club because its a lovely club.

The best applicants are the hungry for success younger guys with a track record like Hill.Hollowar,Ole Gunnar etc etc its a waste of time looking at Keane Souness and McCarthy as they are not hungry manager's and are jaded in my opinion.I am sure Glen Hoddle is the right guy as he has been away and has an appetite to get back into football management again.

2 Weeks and still drawing up a short list, what an absolute shambles.

Shebby, please contact John Williams, apologise and pay him what ever it takes to get him back. Then let him appoint a new manager and run the club the way a football club should be run.

Hey Andy,

Listen to Shaw and Agnew ???????

Come on Andy - are you taking the pi$$ ???

Derek Shaw who has overseen one of PNEs worst collapses EVER in its proud history and (even worse) Paul "I'm a life-long Rovers fan" Agnew - who was complicit in the criminal conspricy from the outset (he can sue me if I'm wrong but HE was involved with SK and JA in a meeting in India 3 months BEFORE Venkys bought the club) to have Venkys buy the club AND front for "other owners" AND complicit in the move to sack SA and replace him with SK (complicit BEFORE the actual take-over had been completed).

Christ on a bike - if we're relying on Shebby Singh, Shaw and Paul "worst Rovers fan in our 137 year history" Agnew then we are DEFINATELY screwed, good and proper.

Venkys please put the club up for sale NOW - yes it might take a few years to sell but the club simply cannot survive much longer under your disasterous tennure.

Proof?

Well if you actually attended BRAG meetings - like I would recomend to any Rovers fans who actually wanted to know what was going on within their own club - then you would know that BRAG have documented proof that both SK and PA attended a meeting with "Venky advisor" (haha) JA approx 3 months before the actual purchase.

Infact, the meeting is well documented so it would be interesting if Andy Cryer actually asked Paul Agnew WHY both he (who was simply "BRFC press officer" and Steve Kean (3rd coach to the 1st team) at that time, WHY they flew to India with JA (who did have a reason for attending the meeting as he was THE nominated "advisor" to Venkys) - but WHY were Kean and Agnew as in India for the meeting ????

Isn't it strange that the third in line team coach was at the meeting, but the manager ( Allardyce ) wasn't, and probably knew nothing about it.

Well I'm sure it was just a conicidence - just like it was COINCIDENCE that a man at that original meeting in India (Steve Kean) then became Rovers manager.

And I'm sure it was just a COINCIDENCE that that man (Steve Kean) had Jerome Anderson (a man also at that meeting in India) as his agent.

I'm sure it was also just a COINCIDENCE that the 3 assistant managers, who all served under SK were all Jerome Anderson clients (Jensen, Clement and Black).

I also think its just COINCIDENCE that (at least) 4 if not all 6 of the Portugese signings this summer were made through a Portugese agent with links to Jerome Andersons Portugese office - although, personally, I think thats just a COINCIDENCE !

And its funny - the more you delve into things that have happened at BRFC over the last 2 years the more you keep triping over this one word - COINCIDENCE - how very bizarre !!

Still, I'm sure thats just COINCIDENTAL.

Can't wait for the results of BRAG findings to to be investigated fully and brought out in the open, but can't understand why it's taking so long.
I fully believe something dodgy has been going on this last two years, hence the silence of Venkeys' ( still ongoing ) and the ' disappearance' of Anderson.

Well they are complex investigations and I have heard from 2 different people involved in "the dossier" and subsequent meetings that once they start following a lead, then 2 or 3 other things crop up which need looking into and so on and so forth so its a very complex and time-consuming thing.

However, that said BRAG did finish each meeting (PL, FA and sports minister) with the words "We are happy to give you time to investigate whats in this document and we know it will take some time but we will NOT accept a cover up. If you don't expose these people in time then we will, by making the file available to the general media".

I will also say that the Sports minister has also acted upon the document and that the govt (and I can't stand tories) won't allow any corruption in sport to be swept under the carpet.

That said - I know BRAG have acted (and still act) in a proper manner, allowing the authorities time to investigate but time is running out and I personally feel if nothing has progressed by the end of this year then BRAG should consider exposing their evidance in January through the English media.

Venkys are now in a very enviable position. They can look at the Asian betting market for the new manager, find somebody at say 20/1, and put £5m on him,and then give him the job. They can pocket the money and sell the club off in about 6 months. Might be the best answer all round. If they choose a rank outsider as the new manager then there is every chance of the plan being put into action. They don't care two tosses about the fans,as they have previously demonstrated. IMHO.

**** me Cryer, how can Shabba Ranks give advice on a new manager ?? Just because he has been on ESPN Asia doesn't make him a specialist on new managers, your such a **** !!!!

Venky are offering £2 million for the new manager ,thats more than many top European Clubs likes of AC Milan,Inter Milan,Juventus,Borus ia Dortmond and some Premiership Clubs whom pays less than £2 million..So Venky must be serious of getting BRFC back in the Premiership where they belong.So many are linked with BRFC vacant managers post.Redknapp,Benite z,Roy Keane,Shearer,Sherwo od and many more.Why waste a lot of money why not hire people like Grayson,Pearson,Hill who have experience in Championsip league.

Some great posts tonight.

I hope BRAG is wrong but fear they could be right. Even so I want to concentrate on the positives, not on circumstantial evidence.

We have bought a good young player in Jordan Rhodes. (for a lot of money) - FACT
By hook or by crook we have also seen the end of kean. - FACT

Now whilst I shudder at the appointments of Agnew, Shaw, & Singh, at least there is someone actually administering at last.

I can't help but be excited in anticipation of who our next manager will be and I am eager to see what (whoever it is) does with this undoubtledy talented group.

I've witnessed a lot of Rovers managers and whoever it is, a new chapter is beginning for our club.

If I owned the club it would be Benitez. It won't be him, so whoever it is won't be my choice, but hey ho I don't own the club.

Who will "find" their new manager first - us or Bolton?

I'm hearing Trappatoni is a strong contender - but there again Sven was going to join us in '96 as a proven European manager......and that didnt happen, just like Zidane didn't come - so even in JW's day we had promises that didnt turn in to reality.

OGS/Baby faced assassin for me.....
