It's a pity Venky's don't show their intent to Rovers and the fans. What will they do next season fly several Plane loads over for each home game to try and fill some of the seats the real fans are staying away from.

100% Total agreement with you here Clayton Blue

Venkys would not talk about this their are childish since their left the wigan game their been silent.

Venkys have apparently taken more money out of Blackburn Rovers then they have actually put in.

So what good are they exactly? What have they actually done to help the club?

They have seemingly got more out of the club then they have put in. More money and advertising.

It is a joke!

another load of *hit from Venky's
Venky’s were unavailable for comment yesterday when the Lancashire Telegraph attempted to contact them about the magazine.
This sounds about right !
I will never trust Venky's till they at the very least get rid of Kean
OUT WITH KEAN
OUT WITH VENKY's

Editor of 90 minutes (India) on twitter @AtishayAgarwal has 50 followers and 22,000 households in India read the magazine. India has a population of 1,210,193,422 is that good or bad?

Although this is actually interesting that Venky's may actually still be interested in the club. Shame they haven't took any of the tough decisions needed to secure it as a PL club and widen this great Indian fanbase they foresee...

I honestly don't believe what I'm reading here. They are treating our club like a bloody experiment. Long haul? Please, no

Hans Chritian Anderson,The Brothers Grimm,Charles Dickens,could never have thought this one up,unbeleivable!

Charity begins at home! Get the infrastructure right at BLACKBURN ROVERS, EWOOD PARK, BLACKBURN then everything else will far into place. Venky's get to BLACKBURN and run the club like a good owner would, 'Anyone can be a Dad but being a parent is harder'. Be a Parent VENKY's! If your in it for the long haul then behave like it!
A - side this, our books need looking into. If this was happening at Man Utd etc. then the FA/Premier League would be all over it! FA/Premier League, you be a parent too!

"We are aware that presently BRFC is going through a tough time and it will take some time and effort for the club to regain its pre-eminent position in the Premier League"

It won't take that long you muppet, why don't you try this; get a proper manager and give him some cash to spend, cash that was promised when you bought the club.

"We believe that the acquisition of BRFC by the VH Group will mark the beginning of a new, exciting chapter in the history of football in India".

And having witnessed the disgraceful way you have managed the club and sold all our best playing assets since you bought it, we the supporters of Blackburn Rovers
believe that the acquisition of BRFC by the VH Group will mark the beginning of the end for our proud club.

"We are overwhelmed by the spontaneous welcome and support from the members of the club, players, and fans alike, and we are thankful for it". - Wtf ???

"We are in this game for the long haul, and, and we will work passionately for the betterment of the club. We are committed to the game of football, to the players, and the fans. We shall leave no stone unturned to make them feel delighted".

Tell me Mr Rao, did you take lying lessons from a certain employee of yours or was it the other way round?

Finally, an emotional plea from the heart - Please sell, go now and take SK with you to run one of your other subsiduaries.

Interesting, and it would be very encouraging if they had addressed the basic running of the football club in Blackburn first.

Although, to put it into perspective, 22,000 gives it a circulation lower than that of the LT.

Well at least we know they haven't give up on us completely! Though why Indians would support us when they see the hatred at our owners, remains to be seen.....
Interesting article on the relegation battle, favours rovers!

The magazine itself has a grand total of 402 followers, it's a very popular magazine isn't it!!!!

I think Glen Mullan will have more than that.

You are really having a laugh Venkys.

One will know they are serious about their commitment when they send a reporter to Ewood to get the feeling of the real fans

This is great PR for the Venkys which is all the club is to them, another PR product.
-
Blackburn rovers wont see any financial benefit to this, as you know the highly uneducated football supporters there will all be sporting Man U, Liverpool, Chelsea, Arsenal and Man C shirts. Not a Rovers shirt sale in sight. However Venkys chicken sales are up by 100%.

I've read this magazine and booklet last month, and it wasn't too bad. The magazine itself is quite loved and growing to be popular in the country, despite launching less than a year ago. Shocking that they have 400 followers on Twitter, because they have over 23,000 followers on Facebook.

Certainly reads that way Doc.

We, as homegrown supporters get very little mention here thus maybe we are now utterly expendable to the aim of Venky ?

Worldwide BRFC could be but grassroots fans are slowly being isolated ?

I watch with an ever cautious eye !

Arte et labore

lmfao once the fan base has gone they can then move in their call centre staff..

DISGRACE.

Really, why us? Why do we have to put up with this shìt?

Our club is gone, sold to India to have a mess around with to see if they can make money from it.

Never mind India, start connecting with the fans in Blackburn first.

I'm all for the Rovers expanding our fan base globally, but the only way this will ever happen is with success. This article insinuates that the first Indian player who can actually make a pass will be thrown in the team. Thus creating a massive interest for the Indian public. A massive amount of merchandise branding said players name, breeds a hell of a lot of rupees for our obstinate overlords. I just can't look at anything they do with anything other than an extremely cynical eye Woody.

Well that's good news. We might have a poor team, most of our experienced players have left or unable to play and we are led by a deluded drunken puppet. But not to worry because somewhere on the other side of the world there are about three people reading a glossy magazine with pictures of Myles Anderson in it. I'll sleep easy in my bed now.

Cant wait to see which premier league club they are going to start running in a fit and proper way

You will find it in the Fiction section of the library in Pune.

Venkys seem to be more interested in football developing in india rather than how our club is expected to survive in the premiership...

Venkys out, Kean out

Did the players ever mention they had been interviewed ?

Thank goodness for that - Great news

spot-on...

As a follow up to the magazine, perhaps the Venkys could commission a new series of `Curry On ` Films. In the land of Bollywood I am sure they would be a huge success. How about `Curry On Losing` followed by `Curry On Protesting` and `Curry On taking the ****`

This is great news for Rovers, i for one am more than happy to see that we at ewood have embraced india and the the whole asian community

Nothing would please me more as a 'die hard rovers nut' to see our ground packed to the rafters with smiling asian faces instead of all the protesters and Boo boys

So well done to the Rao family, All the real fans are right behind you and steve.

I honestly think these guys don't understand why people are angry... They probably been had off by a lot of people when dealing with football matters and they're probably behaved as if they know best throughout it all to....
I just think they seen the potential marketability of football for brand "Venky" and jumped at it.. They don't really care about the club. If they find an Indian superstar footballer imagine what that could do for the Venky`s brand. They're business people with business minds. No way do they have the passion of owners like Jack Walker. Say what you must about Chelsea but Abromovich will do what ever necessary to win and succeed and I dont mean its all about spending money but his got a passion to win. He never says a word but his the first to jump ;-)

I thing you guys are not taking it as game one has to loose it doesn't mean that you start protesting.I'am a hardcore fan of manchester city and blackburn rovers but i don't enjoy much when man-city win coz they almost win every match that makes it tasteless.

What a utter load of garbage.

Can these people be even more ill concieved and foolish than they already have been!
St*** em!

That's my considered opinion.

Blackburn will be big india. Blackburn will be rich. Dont forgot buy tickets. Dont miss. I love Venkys. I love Kean. I love Blackburn.

are you having a laff .......they aint reading the mag theyre wiping there **** with em..

IDIOT.

Lets help Blackburn win. Spend lots money on Blackburn like me. Kean needs help. I love Venkys.

Couldn't make this up if you tried!!!!! brilliant!!!!

I am sure that after" Slumdog Millionaire" Danny Boyle could win another Oscar with a movie about whats happened at Blackburn Rovers............?

Venkys out. Trilobite Anderson out.

This is utter garbage as usual from venkys,so they want to spread the good name of brfc further a field, what a fookin joke.For all that venkys have done to the good name of BRFC, an H block detainee couldnt have spread BRFC name any better on there cell walls and venkys and this magazine will be about as popular in india as rickets and Dick turpin were in this country another PR failure at whose cost? BRFC.

Lying c*nts

We, we, we, we, we....one gets the opinion it is but one BIG ego/ business PR trip for the Venky,s.
Sadly that they show little understanding and any attempt to understand the supporters !!!!!

Its a load of waffle from the latest line in conmen.

Why has the article by Kean talking about the missingtwo players Rochina and Vuskcevic been removed. This is scandalous. Must we all be subjected to these thought police for ever and a day. What happened to freedom of speech.

Venkys are good men. They make blackburn rich. Please help blackburn. Go all games. Blackburn good to you. Do the needfull.

I think at first you had a few people fooled into thinking you were some sort of Venkys employee in India. Sadly you posts have got too silly even for them. The only conclusion is that you are a Dingle troll. Only centuries of interbreeding could produce such drivel.

Fantastic Balloonji, thanks for all of your exhaustive efforts, input and support this season. It is patently obvious that this magazine with its massive readership will have a direct impact on our quest for silverware and European football this season. Maybe the August edition could include a season-ticket deal for the thousands of regulars who refuse to renew when you keep Kean, sell our best players and bring in another load of second and third-rate benchwarmers.

Quite simply, Venkys have no interest in Blackburn Rovers as a club at the heart of our town, the history of its league football in England or of the management of the club and sustaining its future status. Its like they have bought a Turner oil painting and have it stored in Blackburn Library and are now promoting English art in India. Every bit of news coming out of the Raos and Kean's mouth is another turn of the screw for the fans.

Clearly the Venkys are in it just for themselves and what makes matters even worse is that they are clearly unaware that they are making fools out of themselves. Even worse they are damaging the good reputation of Blackburn Rovers Football Club. The Venkys make me very angry. How could John Williams have sanctioned the selling of the club to these people. I attended a meeting at Lords last Monday and what was clear is that there is no question that cricket is enormous in India. However, the Venkys have forgotten (probably never even knew) that cricket has been played in India since the days of the Raj and the heyday of the British Empire. The Venkys are not in the same class as the major players in IPL cricket. The cricketers are worshipped and have the potential to earn more than a Premier League footballer. Sachin Tendulkar earns around 30 million pounds a year (mostly through endorsements). Indian Cricket is out of the Venkys class or league so here they are causing a lot of damage in Premier League football instead; a shame really. The Venkys are not prepared to spend money; that is their problem and the sooner they sell the club to an owner with the correct intentions the better. The Venkys are simply a disgrace. Who knows, the Venkys may think that they can do for Indian football what Bernie Ecclestone has done for Formula 1. Completely blind to reality.

Really quite lost for words after reading this, everytime i hear news of the venky's its just more and more b****cks. Can't understand why they are making such affort with the Indian nation, they dont even have the real fans on side. Why aren't their magazines like that for us REAL fans, why wont the venkys speak to REAL fans.
One simple phrade comes to mind for me, they talk the talk but dont walk the walk. If they are here for the long haul just you wait ten years (permitting we are still in the football league) they will be forcing the management in charge to play a certain number of indian players. They care not for rovers but rather would like to see India excelling as a footballing nation

We will have a clean sheet for the second Saturday running today!

Agree with everything there (and have always seen this since day 1).
However, can't agree with the JW scenario.
I may be wrong, but I do not believe JW had any (real) financial investment in BRFC to the point where he would have a say on who HE would like the club to go to.
The Trust simply wanted rid and he was tasked to officiate over the transaction which involved the fit and proper check. Not by him but the body in football that does this.
He will have probably have been working to a deadline where they have stated must be sold by e.g. season 2010/2011.
If he had any inkling or qualms over Venkys, I very much doubt his caution would come into it, or be heeded.
His deafening (enforced?) silence and departure demonstrates what he thought of them (+ T F).

3 Of us here now, Morning derek. What do you think about venkys closing the fleapit down and making it into a cricket club ? sounds like a good idea to me, Winter times watching the footy down at turf moor then down to dumpburn in the summer for the cricket

Venky chicken is yummy.

May I just remind everyone of Venky's commitments made as part of the offer made for the purchase of the club?

"The Venky's Board has given assurances to BRFCI that Venky's:

(a) will commit funds on a consistent and systematic basis to future transfer and/or loan activity;

(b) intends to continue to support the existing management team and staff, and that it is committed to
the future development of, and investment in, the Club’s academy and youth infrastructure;

(c) will continue to support, promote and extend the Club’s local community and CSR activities (VH and its subsidiaries have their own trust engaged in significant charitable work);

(d) will seek to extend the Blackburn Rovers name and brand into India, the rest of south-east Asia
and beyond;

(e) will seek to develop and improve commercial performance across sponsorship, the Club's kit deal
and general merchandising activity;

(f) will seek to enhance the fan experience at Ewood Park itself on match days (and non match
days) and to maximise season ticket sales and any remaining match day ticket sales; and

(g) intends to improve the Club’s media platforms (for example the Club's TV channel) and to become more active in the social media space)".

Their words, not mine.

I'll leave you to decide if they have kept to their word.

(a) low to non-existant
(b) pretty much destroyed
(c) not really sure
(d) looks like this may be the start of it, had exhibition in Pune
(e) charity not a sponsor
(f) now treated like criminals, gates shut at end of matches, searching, no banners
(g) No improvement at all

One question though, who holds them to these promises and what are the penalties for not keeping them?

Stupid question really!

Their words, not mine. I'll leave you to decide if they have kept to their word.

So, let's see now.....

a) Their alleged belief no club could get relegated aside, they believed "investing" £3 to £5 million a year would be sufficient. This is about the amount which has been spent on agents' fees alone. Which set of accounts did they use to come up with these figures? Transfer and loan activity has resulted in a massive profit to date; even the income from the sales has not been used, never mind anything from them.

b) I tink Messrs. Williams, Finn ,Goodman and Allardyce would disagree. They changed the entire management structure virtually as soon as they walked through the door which has brought about the current shambolic mess masquerading as a football club.

c) This will be the "tens of hundreds" of community projects mentioned by Mr Hunt I suppose. Communicating with their customers is obviously not one of them.

d) That would be th epamphlet they are sending out with a footaball magazine with a circulation of 22,000 in a country with a population of over one and quarter billion (see above posts). Issues of 90 Minutes which are sold will be to people, probably a lot of ex-pats, who already have an allegiance with another club. i sthis the best they can do?

e) We play in the biggest, most widely broadcast league in the World but can't get a shirt sponsor; how hard can it be to get a shirt sponsor? I remember the club saying they had potential sponsors which they thought were unsuitable for the image of BRFC (Mr Hunt again, I think it was). That image is now so tarnished, perhaps Biffa would be seen as appropriate.

f) Now here's a real classic. I don't see how unqualified stewards frisking women and children - and they did, no matter what Mr Askew may have said - has improved the match day experience. We're already witnessing what is happening with match day ticket sales. I fancy this will be matched by season ticket sales come the time for renewal.

g) I refer back to the pamphlet, unless you include Hans Christian's plea for sympathy and understanding on SSN as being an example of "becoming more active in the social media space".

Disgraceful - if this rubbish was put forward as part of their business plan when trying to buy the club from the Walker's Trust, they may have seemed a decent bunch to sell the club to. In fact, they quite clearly haven't kept to most and gone about the others in a half a$$ed fashion.

It begs the question, what does the "fit and proper" committee at the FA actually look at? Talk is, as they say, cheap. Does the FA/EPL monitor owners who's mouths write cheques they later show they are not prepared to cash? Or do they just shrug their shoulders and admit they have done up like a kipper - again?

For a start all the cotton used to come from India why do you think Ghandi came to Darwen!?! Britain used to steal cotton make use of it and indians had to buy it and not allowed to produce their own. Textile industry collapsed because of cheep labour abroad. Most Asians in Blackburn don't really care about Rovers. Racist is all I can say about you..

If Asians destroyed Blackburn or even Britain then I don't know how to describe what Britain did to India. Raped, murdered, robbed, destroyed in the millions. From one of the wealthiest countries to the poorest in the world doesn't that make you sick?

As an Indian, I'm finding most of the above comments extremely distasteful and bordering on racism. If you feel you've been wronged by your owners, vent your fury at them, not at the country and its ways. Stop your generalization for God's sake. As a football neutral and a Rovers follower (Yes, there are many in India), I can only say that this particular piece of news is good for the club. I'd suggest not mocking the 22,000 figure, because this is the first such magazine in the country! The football revolution's finally happening in India, and if things in the UK could be sorted out (They must), BRFC could be really big in India.

BOYCOTT THE MAN U GAME

BOYCOTT THE MAN U GAME

BOYCOTT THE MAN U GAME

BOYCOTT THE MAN U GAME,

Its being shown on TV to our owners in India, starve the ba-tards of our hard earned cash, Hunt states it "We are worried at the fans who are staying away" straight from the owners mouths!!”

All season Mr.hunt has put a blanket on making any comments regarding anything of any real substance, yet as ST renewals fast approaches he now feels its time to connect and build bridges with the fans. What does this fool not understand, a manager nobody wants, transfers budget lied about, no children or women searched.. please we all saw that, owners that are clueless, management structure desimated, senior players given away, constant antagonistic comments made by the manager regards to support for him and team performances, yet not since Mr.hunts appointment has he felt the need to explain any situation at the club, he blatantly lied about the debt at the club. So why now Mr hunt and co. has it finally dawned that you will in my opinion, be lucky sell 5000 season tickets next year, all the spin you put out between now and then won't heal the rifts you and the rest of your management team and the owners have caused with the fans they won't be fooled again. You are an utter disgrace.

Yeah, both Paul and Simon, what a coincidence.

Send an e-mail to the editor @90 minutes.in asking them to investigate Venkys.
The more who do that, the greater chance that our story will be publicised in India and have an impact on Venkys' reputation in their home market.

Nontetleydrinker, I keep telling you on here that my mate knows you and the troubles you are having. I know it must be a release to post on the Blackburn Rovers news, a bit of company and all that, but you dont have to suffer alone. Jed is waiting for you to ring mate.

1, This is Football.
2, As a football neutral and a Rovers follower???? What are you??? a football neutral OR a Rovers follower...
3, BRFC could be really big in India??? Is this when the venks move the Rovers name to india when they have crippled it here.

S od of you pra t

Resorting to abuse, really?

I said I'm a Rovers follower, not a fan. I follow their results, their news etc, but I'm not a fan.

And what a lovely first point!! "This is football". Used as a justification for juvenile generalization of Indians! Venky's might be doing a lot of things wrong, but it doesn't make what you're saying right.

VENKYS are in it for the long haul, ha ha, best news I've had all day

Everyone is entitled to their opinion, as you rightly pointed out. Hence I am as well. I'm not here to play the 'race card'. There is no race card. I never even said the comments were racist, but that gradually the expression of anger was leading to it. All said, there needs to be no spite directed at Indians in general because your owners haven't done a good job. Vent your fury at the Venky's, not at India. If you can't understand that simple statement, you don't deserve to even be a football fan. Grow up.

asquare this is nothing to do with racism you self centred gobsh!te you are a joke to indians,,i know plenty of them and they say venky's are a disgrace so keep your racist idiotic opinions 2 yourself this is about their knowledge of football and running of a pl club so take your passports with chicken boys and hitch hike out of here

Really, what is wrong with you people?! When have I defended the Venky's?? They've done many things wrong, I know it!! It's obvious to all. There were some comments above that generalized too many things about India in general, and I think there's no need for that. I think that's fair enough? I'm not losing sleep over this anyway. I thought I'd point it out, but it seems none of you can have a normal conversation without resorting to needless and childish abuse.

btw asquare "bordering on racism" is implying people are being or trying to be racist so why don't you grow up.you people always play the race card and yes YOU PEOPLE!

indians are still trying to catch up with business skills and nevermind football,,,neway keep trying and stick to your ghee fat

Haha, an Indian is the 6th richest man in the world. Don't see any Brits in the top five. Shows how ignorant you are.

Of course you'd know about going to a foreign land and sending money back home. The English have mastered the art over centuries.

P.S. The comment earlier was just to respond to the dimwit who thought Indians don't know how to do business. I suggest you stay calm and read carefully. But then again, it's probably too much to expect.

I don't want to continue this nonsense. I genuinely wish the best for BRFC, and I follow the club, which is why I came on here in the first place. I understand the hate for Venky's, but I don't understand the hate for Indians. That's all. Good luck to all of you.

Gosh, the benefits of celebrating diversity and having foreign owners is so uplifting. Venkys stewardship is going to reap massive rewards, I can just feel it. They are an absolute credit to a blameless, egalitarian, morally upright nation. Caste system, child labour, unchecked population growth, nobody cares about that anymore. India has modern high rise and everything. You tell us the answer and we tell you if we can play racist card. We're so lucky to have this association and so it has proved. Right now we are half way through March and we are still in with a chance of survival.

Who needs season ticket sales? Nobody in India cares if Ewood Park is empty. After all they can feast on Venkys' sanitised version in their super new glossy magazine. Just the thing to be reading when you are nibbling chicken leg in your back-to-front wrong-way-round replica authentic championship kit.

Never looked down on you one bit. Who am I to look down on anyone? I was always looking for a civilized discussion, but the needless abuse was shocking and put me off. I only reacted to abuse, nothing else.

hope you make a full recovery fabrice .
