West Ham cool interest in Blackburn Rovers star (From Lancashire Telegraph)

I'd be inclined to wait until the transfer window has closed before deciding if West Hams interest has cooled

Time to support the club, forget all the negative stuff and build bridges with the Venkys, it's the only way forward. Boycotts and demonstrations have been spectacularly unsuccessful. Time to build instead of destroying, good luck to Michael Appelton (he'll need it!) and BRAG OUT.

Morning Shabby.

Quiet before the storm springs to mind.

Quite a sensible approach to this from Olsson and the Rovers. 6 Million plus for an International attacking pacey full back seems about the right price to ask. Maybe not the best defender in the world but he does have his good defensive moments and he is a threat going forward so we would certainly have to buy to replace him. It would seem silly to disrupt the team right now - so maybe he can go at the end of the season?

Why do Venkys need to waste money on hiring a PR firm when they have people like RoversSwiss and RoversPal1 to do their PR for FREE ??

2Million , International defender SAM ,you aving a LAUGH !

If he's not unsettled, despite everything, then that's great. We either get good money or he stays. The core of the team seem to be in good spirits - if that continues with Appleton at the helm we've got a fighting chance.

Now it has been almost six days since Michael Appleton was appointed. Could anybody tell me where I can see, read or hear from him as to what he is actually going to do now he is here? He seems to be very conspiquous by his absence.
They seek him here, they seek him there the LT don't seem to be able to interview him anywhere.

Despite the mistakes the Venkys have made the club now has a chance to move forward. I hope we don't waste it by pointless abuse towards the owners or the new manager,surely we should now just support the team and move on.

I am amazed at all the argueing on these pages. If you are happy with the state of affairs at the club then get down to Ewood pay your money and support Venkys Blackburn Rovers. If you are angry at what as happened to our once wonderful club then save your your cash and stay away on Saturday. Each fans choice which one suits them. The press and media will be there on Saturday trying to get a good story and Venkys know that. In my opinion an empty stadium will be an embarressment and speaks louder than shouting abuse at the chicken farmers that just gives them the publicity they are craving

i have often been in opposition to the actions of BRAG in the past, but on the whole i do think it's useful that the organisation exists. i think the challenge to brag now is to remain relevant in a climate where more people are wanting to move on under a fresh manager.

We couldn't keep Kean away from the bloody cameras and now complaints that Appleton hasn't done an interview.

Consistency isn't too much to ask for is it??

my guess is that the new PR firm will be keeping a very close grip on what info gets out and how it is managed. press conf tomorrow or friday is my guess.

"Time to build instead of destroying" It's a pity the owners don't share your foresight, because they have done nothing but DESTROY, since they came.

Venky's OUT! Borat OUT! Agnew OUT! Hendry OUT! Simpletons OUT! OUT! OUT!

"Striker Anton Forrester also played in the fixture with Rovers set to seal a deal for the 18-year-old Everton youngster in the coming days." Another bloody striker. Or are we going to play him in defence?!?!

The cheek of BFS. Have you not taken our club for enough money

Good news from Mr Olsson not pushing to leave. Big Sam was trying the old Arsne wenger trick. Find a player worth 6 million and offer 2 hoping he will kick the door down. I see rovers are still signing players despite shaggy saying we wern't going to and all the doomongers and naysayers jumped on that bandwagon ready for a lynching,
Could do with a defender and a more mobile steady away midfielder as Murphy has one foot nailed in the centre circle.
Morning Darener, you got yer ABBA CD on full blast again

Bentley's loan deal appears to be going through too.

Appleton getting to work and earning his money. Good.

3 Points on Saturday please Mr Appleton, ignore the boo-boys and absentee protesters.

COYB!

hendry was signed as a striker. he turned out alright as a defender. warhurst and dublin. perhaps you are onto something, lol.

I see on the other thread the PR merchants have given the the LT a photo of the Indian woman in a nice dress. The photo is about 10 years old, of course - compare it to the photos taken at Ewood on her last visit. Does it matter, you ask? No. But it does to the PR boys or they wouldn't do it. Look out for more 'good news'. 'happy days' stories - there'll be plenty more coming along. Then again, what do I know. I'm just a doom- monger and nay-sayer.

Only like under Big Sam when we played Samba upfront for a few games haha, now that was an interesting time! Maybe Robinson is coming back as a replacement for Murphy? Be a good trade, Robinson never moved off his line either!!!

I think Defenders is really the only place we NEED signings. Not because Hanley or Dann are doing a bad job (which i don't think they are, much improved from last season), but simply to provide cover. When Best, Nunes (cracking RW material!) and Henley come back we should be in pretty good shape squad wise.

100% right the chicken farmers are ruining our club and trying to fix it through the press- completely the wrong descision yet again , keys appointments are critical if we are to avoid bein as bad as bunlee.. not shabby sings please .. keep away on sat but support the BRFC

Morning to you too 8 balls...Going to the Lakes at end of month to see an Abba choir, should be a good show. Decided it is better to spend my time and money on live shows as opposed to the slow death of my favourite football club. I will return when it has been revived. And the cancerous growth that is the Venky's has been cut out.

That is the black hole that is Ewood, it's the new Bermuda triangle -- nothing from Shabby, Agnew or Appleton, they're probably on a team building exercise.

I doubt he's being signed with the expectation that he'll break into the first team straight away. It's more likely that he's been signed for the Academy with a view to develop him in readiness for the first team squad.

It seems that Palace will have to sell Zaha and that Brum will have to sell their keeper Butland.

It is refreshing to note for the moment at least that we are fending off interest from potential buyers.

Credit to the owners and the management if they can maintain this position to the end of the window.

I thought that that was a very reasonable post from RoverSwiss.

Boycotts and demonstrations have achieved nothing except to reduce attendances and generate exceptionally bad publicity for the fans.

I presume that you think that fans and fans' groups should not aim to support and build but rather destroy?

Fending off? You mean another club hasn't matched the Venky's asking price. How can you give the Venky's any credit after everything they have done to the club you claim to support.

No actually they are at the tailors being measured for sackcloth and ashes (definition:
if you wear sackcloth and ashes, you show by your behaviour that you are very sorry for something you did wrong ).
They will then prostrate themselves in front of Madam D. Begging forgiveness for putting the club in such dire straits. Michael Appleton will be standing at the rear brandishing his whip, ready to whip them all into shape.

Plummeting attendances have nothing to do with the Venky's sacking an experience Premiership manager, appointing K#$n, removing Williams and Finn, selling our best players, refusing to play some players to force them out refusing to spend this time last year to keep us up, and of course not to mention relegation. It's not the fans who have destroyed Jack Walker's legacy it's our wonderful owners, yes the same one you want to give 'credit' to.

I think the last time I booed Indians was at t'Penks Saturday morning picture show. It were threepennies to get in . We'd cheer t'cowboys and boo th'Indians and chuck dolly mixtures at 'em. Tom MIx always won, if memory serves unless Roy Rogers was playing. Now and again, as a treat, we'd go t' Savoy. They had th'Indians on there as well, but we really preferred Penks. Then there was another Indian called Tonto on 'telly. Partnered a cowboy called t'Lone Ranger who wore a mask.. That Indian wasn't so bad we didn't boo him. Never thought I'd be booing Indians 60-odd years on though......

The venkys have a LOT to answer for , the least they can expect for wot they have done is an empty ground , whatever the fans who turn up do is up to them , but they the venkys might try going to visit MR DAVID WHEELAN at Wigan to see how a football club is run . All the fans should at least expect an agenda from them and an apology would go down well ,but i wont hold my breath . Why are they all coming ? what is the reason after all this time ?

Hopefully to nail a for sale sign to the front door.

It is very cynical but there is another 2 weeks to go and we know how this transfer lark is all a game so I wouldnt count out Olsson going at the last minute when Venkys realise they will miss out on some money for him. I see Mr Kean has now admitted his claim about Sam's sacking was untrue and withdrawn it and subsequently paid damages. Sam's made a packet from the club and now Kean for this but Kean had it coming. He is a jumped up liar and was showing off to fans shooting his mouth off to impress them and make his own position in the club look more important. Does anybody know a reason why Venkys stuck with him given his obvious lack of honesty? And all those other fans and media who claimed he was dignified and doing a good job. There's either a significant lack of football awareness in this country or a lot of liars.

What Kean said about BFS were the only true words he ever spoke ! Fact !

Let me be clear i am not a venkys fan, but just what effect do you think putting the club up for sale would have, my guess player exodus , a deeper slide down the leagues and the end of any chance of a return to the premier league, no credible buyer has expressed an interest in our club and tha lack of gate reciepts makes us even more unattractive, the phrases cutting your nose of despite your face and be careful what you wish forsprings to mind

Most of what Venkys has done has been appalling; but not all of it and it might be that they are beginning to sort things out. Only time will tell.

Hence, credit where it is due.

If it is FACT, as you claim, how come both K#$n and the Venky's paid out thousands of pounds needlessly? Of course it's easy to make claims hiding behind a pseudonym or in the case of K#$n when the worse for wear.

I had Tesco burgers for dinner last night.

I've still got a bit in my mouth.

I selected some burgers on the Tesco website...

I then clicked on "add to cart"

Tesco's veggie burgers are being tested for traces of uniquorn.

Tesco aren't the only supermarkets selling meat from horses.

I've been buying My Lidl Pony for years now.

Stacey Solomon has been chosen as the new face of Tescos beef burgers.

Just been to Tesco and bought a bottle of Bacardi, a bottle of Lamb's and some burgers.

So that's white rum, navy rum and Red Rum.

Not getting too excited about the window shutting after last times fiasco when they let it shut, and then sold Samba to russia when we couldn't buy a replacement, another decision that culminated in relegation.
Still getting behind the team though. its time the Venkys stepped up to the plate and sorted out the mess they created.

Hi 8 ball ....agreed....As far as Samba was concerned, transfer window shut, relegation or not, they couldn't help themselves when they saw the £ note signs flashing before their eyes.
Like you said, it IS time they faced their responsibilities and sorted out the mess.
Let's hope for a statement or something this weekend. If not, nothing will change.

As Sean Connery famously said in The Rock:

Looks like West Ham have upped their bid to 2 million and some horse meat. Rovers fans are pleading with the club to accept.

Hello George, of course, a bit of horse can be quite palatable if properly cooked.

Theres no need for the nasty.

Maybe you need to take off your tinted glasses too and see the truth for what it is.

Venky's own Rovers. They bought it lock stock and turnstile thanks to our not so caring previous owners. (yes, apparently they own the grounds and Brockhall too, contrary to previous suggestions that they were rented).

They can and will do whatever they want with it if you don't like it, you need to move on with your life and accept the truth.

As an analogy, If your family owned a classic car and it was sold to someone whose idea of classic was to rip out the best bits, sell them off and replace them with cheap unbranded knockoffs, you wouldn't have any rights to expect them to maintain it to the level you have come to expect it to be treated - regardless of what they promised you when you sold it to them. It was sold. They bought it. It doesn't make it right and you have every right to feel upset, let down, decieved etc. You can't change the fact that it doesn't belong to you. Not a perfect analogy I accept, since the buyer wouldn't be hoping you'd still keep paying to ride in it and enjoy it, but it makes the point.

It doesn't make it right, but then those who deal in right and wrong rarely make millions.

The idea of it somehow belonging to the fans and what Venky's are doing to it are sadly foolish sentimental notions that were left behind a long time ago when big money came into Football and it became a ludicrous business.

Reality is, if you no longer feel Ewood is the place you could call your own, you either move on or add further to its destruction, thus ruining it for those who are trying to above the political circus and concentrate on supporting the team.

If you want to vent bitterness at anyone, you should aim it at the Walkers Trust, who will be even right now without remorse and blissfully unaware of the damage their greed has caused, enjoying the millions they made from Jack's legacy.

Maybe the protesters should take their protest outside Walkers and demand they take action to mediate between the protesters and Venky's as to why the promises they made haven't been kept.

If anyone owes us anything, it surely starts with them.

Blueblooded...like you're analogy. What happens to all cars in the end? They end up on the scrap heap. Unfortunately we are in the scrapyard under the magnet waiting to be lifted into the crusher.

At least Maka won't be able to protest. His voice has gone.

I believe he's a bit hoarse.

Yeah, you'd love a bit of that wouldn't you ??!!!!

It is refreshing to note for the moment at least that we are fending off interest from potential buyers.

Credit to the owners and the management if they can maintain this position to the end of the window.

Fending off? You mean another club hasn't matched the Venky's asking price. How can you give the Venky's any credit after everything they have done to the club you claim to support.

Perhaps because I am not as blinkered as some.

Most of what Venkys has done has been appalling; but not all of it and it might be that they are beginning to sort things out. Only time will tell.

Hence, credit where it is due.

"What are trying to give credit to Venkys for this time Lusorover ???

Do they deserve credit for actually bothering to turn up to see "their baby" ??

What have they now done that makes you think they have "Turned the corner" ? - bear in mind you have been posting for the last 18 months that you think they have "now learned their lesson" (I suppose sooner or later you'll get it right !!).

Christ, if these Indians gang raped you on a bus you'd thank them, take the positives, blame yourself and say, that they had been a "bit naughty but now they'd learned there lesson so lets all look to the future as one big happy family and we'll all live happily ever after".

I bet you still believe in fairies at the end of your garden and father Christmas as well !!

Theres no need for the nasty.

Maybe you need to take off your tinted glasses too and see the truth for what it is.

Venky's own Rovers. They bought it lock stock and turnstile thanks to our not so caring previous owners. (yes, apparently they own the grounds and Brockhall too, contrary to previous suggestions that they were rented).

They can and will do whatever they want with it if you don't like it, you need to move on with your life and accept the truth.

There have always been a small minority of fans who craved for the old days of small attendances, local derbies against the likes of Preston, Bury and Oldham, and getting home for 5pm for their tea. Seems like a few on them are on here today, no wonder they want to give the Venky's credit for fullfilling their dreams. But I'm just being blinkered, it's obviously the Walker Trust who we should be blaming, so lets give the Venky's the credit they deserve for, er, ... sorry I can't think of anything.

Darener, not all cars. And we are far far from the magnet we aren't even analagically on Gumtree being offered to anyone stupid enough to believe its still worth something. We're closer to those who know cars knowing if it keeps getting mistreated, the only place it can go is the knackers yard. Or in our case administration.

Riversidefan, Venky's deserve credit only for not getting sick of the negative results they themselves created and walking away. Not exactly a pat yourself on the back moment to be proud of, but they also haven't done many of the lies that have been fabricated to add fuel to the fire, above and beyond what is already known about the clueless decisions that were made and trusting agents who pocketed huge sums of royalties - which is common practice and should have never been allowed.

Venky's look like very strange asset strippers, if the lies are to be believed. Clueless incompetence can be rectified. Evil intentions cannot. I think you're misinterpreting lusorovers comment when you say we want to return to the old days of small club and fanbase.

Like myself and many others, we are just making the point that antagonising Venky's into leaving and subsequent administration is not in the best interest of the club surely?

Blueblooded...you seem to be contradicting yourself. At the start you say I am wrong that we are under the magnet but then you finish by saying we are on our way to the knackers yard! You are an optomist I am a pessimist that is the only difference between us!
