Rovers fans plan community march against Venky's regime

Blackburn Rovers fans will march against the club's regime on Saturday as they call for their "Rovers back".

Sections of disgruntled supporters will hold a community march before Saturday's crucial visit of Norwich City, demanding change in the running of the club.

The march will carry the message 'Blackburn wants its Rovers back' and will call for the removal of manager Steve Kean, the board of directors and for owners Venky's to sell the club.

A spokesperson for the Blackburn Rovers Action Group, said: “The BRFC Action Group is absolutely thrilled with the response of the public. We have been inundated with messages of support from across the globe and feedback from supporters has been fantastic.

"Blackburn Rovers football club is part of its supporter’s extended family and is the one common thing which pulls the town together.

"To the people of Blackburn, this is no longer just about losing football matches, this is about the very future of the football club and the very fabric of Blackburn.

"Our football club is a 137 year-old institution which has seen it’s traditions and values destroyed in less than 18 months.

"It takes only a few hands to bulldoze our club but it will take many hands to rebuild it and the whole community needs to come together to breathe life back into Blackburn Rovers.

"Venkys cannot make us feel inferior if we do not give them our consent. ‘Words divide us, actions unite us’ and if we are unified there is nothing that we cannot achieve."

The march will leave Blackburn Town Hall at 1.30pm and will head to Ewood Park for kick off.

Its not YOUR club its VENKYS. If you want it so badly then offer `em 50 million. That should get YOUR club back.

@gudari. I don't know how old you are (although I do think you're probably a dingle), but on the off chance you are a rovers "supporter" then why don't you "grown-ups" take the lead and do something instead of sitting around and watching the club die a slow death?

Our traditions have not been destroyed but the clubs value has for sure. And that is what worries me the most as how can the Venkys hope to sell us when we are a not a premier league club?

They will surely hang around hoping for us to get back up and make us a sellable asset again, and that could make things even worse than now.....they could be here for years if they still choose not to invest in the team!

How?

By firstly selling anything/body of any value to recoup some if not all the initial capital outlay. How they actually get the money out of the company, I wouldn't know. The accounts may make interesting reading though.

Then offsetting the reduced income from the Championship (or below) by continuing to significantly reduce costs.

The business becomes profitable - or virtually so - and bingo, is more saleable, albeit at a lower price.

They may not make a lot but wouldn't lose much either, which I believe is their main concern.

Or, worse still, it does actually become profitable and they hang on to it.

What is the point we need someone to buy them out the only thing we can do is boycott themmsad as it is.
I think Kean is blaming Givet for our loss at Swansea why has he not played our best remaining defender for so long?
I can understand Givet's reluctance to play he has been victimised similar to Nelsen.We need someone to motivate the team now Kean is as useless as Wolves new boss so we need someone new to take us into these last few matches.

"Venkys cannot make us feel inferior if we do not give them our consent. ‘Words divide us, actions unite us’ and if we are unified there is nothing that we cannot achieve."

We will fight them on the bleechers, we will fight them on bolton road, we will fight them on the corner shops, we will fight them in the kfc service queue.

For goodness sake do not allow any violent action to take place otherwise we supporters will be castigated by the press and Kean will come out shining like a rose. Better to start march at 1-30 and end it at the ground until after the match. Do not risk kean and Venkys looking like the victims. Good luck.

All they do is gain sympathy for kean, give the media more mud to throw at us, gets the players even more down, makes the owners even more stuborn.

Exactly FR - thats why we must hold back on ST renewals until Kean is sacked and Venkys invest some funds or sell.
.
An empty stadium would be a major embarrasment to them as well as starving them of funds - thats all we can do and protest via local media.

Hi Sonny, I have been on here telling people not to go down to matches and I have got lamblasted for doing so by the "I will always go down" brigade, some are now changing there tune! people have chosen to protest march again there personal choice, some are advocating not buying ST again there choice, why because in our own ways we WANT to do something so dont come on here calling anyone "silly" its an insult to all BRFC fans, just have the balls to come on here and tell us what YOU will do, we wont call you what ever it is, we may differ but just do something instead of adding cheap comments about people who are at least trying.

It will be a sad day to see Rovers relegated knowing that Venky's won't be committed to getting us back up. If they stay Div 1 is looming. Kean is their front man and until he goes you can't believe a word coming out of India. If Venky's do want to stay they will have little support until they sack Kean. Waiting for him to resign is not an option.

A Darener says...
4:37pm Mon 16 Apr 12

Please don't give Kean & the Venky's any reason to come out of the next few matches smelling of roses....All protests must be lawful, suggesting that fans invade the pitch will do nothing to help our cause in getting rid of Kean and the owners.

Just sent back my decline of the season ticket renewal invitation, with appropriate comments. They'll probably only be read by a member of ticket office staff but if enough people do the same something is bound to leak out about the number of disgruntled ST holders. I would urge all ST holders to do the same. Don't just bin the invitation.

I understand your points but remember the despicable Walkers Trust had us up for sale for about three years or so and this was when we were a well run and stable mid table prem club.....

Who on earth would be interested in us when we are in the Championship (or god forbid lower)......By anyones reckoning looks very much like the Venkys are going to be around for a long time yet - just hope Kean isn't still part of it...

One hopes that Venkys have borrowed on the strength of season ticket sales and they pick up any shortfall - no pain without gain should read no pain without loss when it comes to Rovers.

As for the march I doubt Venkys will be seen twice in a fortnight at Ewood - when the entertainment value is so good !!

Ive been posting links to various media articles over the last couple of days, trying to highlight this media tomshittery.

Media asking " who do Blackburn fans think they are?.......Man utd?

Sections of the media berating the fans this week.......why?

We are guilty of one thing, loving our club!, why should we merely sit back and watch it be fleeced, mismanaged and become the laughing stock of the prem?

The Football Association has a lot of blame in this, they set out the rules and they should monitor the obvious neglect and wilful damage being done under their noses. It must be very encouraging to Business people who want to make big that venks are able to slaughter a well run club and answer to no one. As we have seen this season the owners and puppets have the majority voice and can quite easily make disgruntled supporters look unreasonable wilful and petty if questioned.

March as much as you want-it will not make any difference. Chant venkys out as much as you want- it wont make any difference. They will keep SK even if they are relegated this season and in coming seasons into league 1 or 2 as long as they can make money. That is there sole intention and SK is their puppet who will 'manage' the club as long as V are still around. OOnly way to get them out is for someone to offer to buy the club at a significant profit which will not happen or to limit there income. This is the only chance and will take time i.e. once the para payments have finished plus sales of players that can make a profit. It will be hard but supporters need to stay away until this day comes and it will probably be several years. I would suggest that the support goes to the away games in numbers, expensive I know, but your still supporting the team and making the point. SK is incompetent but it does not matter to V they will not be happy with less money following relegation but they can still make money and that's all that counts. It's hard to stop going but travelling to the away games is the only way I can see to support the team and make the point and bear in mind that it will be several years before the V have gone and the club may be hopefully bought by the supporters- some how.

Finally I am frankly appalled at the reporting qualities of the LET and Radio lancs. They either hide behind the 'well if the won't talk to us what can we do' - well you could write articles that summise what you think has gone on to counterbalance the negativity that you see elsewhere in the press about the Rovers supporters i.e. you could stick up for us. Tonight's Radio Lancs sports programme at 6 o'clock had an interview with SK about GG probably taken after the match on Saturday yet following the inteview i.e. during the remaining part of the programme made no reference to reports in the press that what SK is saying might not be the actual truth.
The supporters need to maintain the backing of the club on the pitch however if either at the Norwich or Wigan game it's looking like we've gone then I suggest the best thing is to mock SK and play back to him some of his classic lines -

we wont go down
we'll finish in the top 10
it'l be europe in 3-4 seasons
judge me on my own purchases
I forfeited the game

several thousand supportes shouting these words back at him might at least make him uncomfortable and make the media wonder whay we are saying these things not too mention make us feel just a little bit better though it won't last- ther's a strggle in the champioship to come and lots of player sales.
See you at the away games next season

It's hard to stop going but travelling to the away games is the only way I can see to support the team and make the point and bear in mind that it will be several years before the V have gone and the club may be hopefully bought by the supporters- some how.

Finally I am frankly appalled at the reporting qualities of the LET and Radio lancs. They either hide behind the 'well if the won't talk to us what can we do' - well you could write articles that summise what you think has gone on to counterbalance the negativity that you see elsewhere in the press about the Rovers supporters i.e. you could stick up for us. Tonight's Radio Lancs sports programme at 6 o'clock had an interview with SK about GG probably taken after the match on Saturday yet following the inteview i.e. during the remaining part of the programme made no reference to reports in the press that what SK is saying might not be the actual truth.
The supporters need to maintain the backing of the club on the pitch however if either at the Norwich or Wigan game it's looking like we've gone then I suggest the best thing is to mock SK and play back to him some of his classic lines -

we wont go down
we'll finish in the top 10
it'l be europe in 3-4 seasons
judge me on my own purchases
I forfeited the game

several thousand supportes shouting these words back at him might at least make him uncomfortable and make the media wonder whay we are saying these things not too mention make us feel just a little bit better though it won't last- ther's a strggle in the champioship to come and lots of player sales.
See you at the away games next season

And that is what worries me the most as how can the Venkys hope to sell us when we are a not a premier league club? They will surely hang around hoping for us to get back up and make us a sellable asset again, and that could make things even worse than now.....they could be here for years if they still choose not to invest in the team!
How? By firstly selling anything/body of any value to recoup some if not all the initial capital outlay. How they actually get the money out of the company, I wouldn't know. The accounts may make interesting reading though. Then offsetting the reduced income from the Championship (or below) by continuing to significantly reduce costs. The business becomes profitable - or virtually so - and bingo, is more saleable, albeit at a lower price. They may not make a lot but wouldn't lose much either, which I believe is their main concern. Or, worse still, it does actually become profitable and they hang on to it.
I understand your points but remember the despicable Walkers Trust had us up for sale for about three years or so and this was when we were a well run and stable mid table prem club..... Who on earth would be interested in us when we are in the Championship (or god forbid lower)......By anyones reckoning looks very much like the Venkys are going to be around for a long time yet - just hope Kean isn't still part of it...
If the price is right, who knows. The infrastructure would still be in place and we have, sorry had, been in the Prem for a long time. It may seem a decent opportunity.

"Despicable" is a bit harsh by the way.
Despicable is actually very tame when used in conjunction with the words "Walkers Trust'.......which in itself is a big misnomer as the Trust that Jack set up was betrayed time after time by the trustees he left in charge. But for the actions of the WT we would not be in this terrible situation now.

Despicable a bit harsh? No nay never too harsh sir....

Latest round of lies (sorry quotes) from Steve Kean in the last 24 hours:


"If we don't get a result at the weekend, we go back and work with the players again and get prepared for another massive game.

"The players have been fantastic and there have been lots of games where we should have got a bit more from those games.

"But it has been a massive transition period for the club. There are new owners, I am a new manager at the club, we have a lot of new young players in the team, so there have been big changes at the club.

"We feel that when we come through it, like we did last season, we will be better for it."

Asked if his future was guaranteed should Rovers go down, Kean replied: "I have a contract that runs beyond this season. "Let's get this season taken care of, make sure that we are in the division and I'm hopeful we can move things on."

That last one really slayed me...!

The only way Rovers will EVER have a promotion again sadly is when we finally find another man manager, who can motivate a average side into believing again.Don Mackay, although HE never quite made it , but still brought a feel good factor to the club,is the only type of manager we can hopefully persuade to bring back some hope and pride amongst the fans.The sad facts are , it will be a very long time before the club will be sold by these leaches and untill then we need at least someone who knows about team spirit , telling the truth and how to use what limited talent is left to even hope for a future promotion push. The man Rovers need , who fits the bill with what is left is Ian Holloway. Forget the big names they are never going to come now, that is long in the past.

The best way to protest is simply not to go.

If you buy a ticket and then choose to protest then Venky's have already won i'm afraid, but surely we know that don't we?

Fans are determined to show it's 'their club' and that they matter, but the only way to put power back in the hands of supporters is by abandoning games all together.

Only when these mercenaries representing BRFC (with the exception of about three players...at a push) trot out onto the pitch to the welcome of an empty Ewood will any of these people you are aiming your anger at care.

Half of that and we'd have gotten all three points against Liverpool, and at least put up a fight against Swans..

We only need to look at Wigan to highlight the terminal problems with our club. Honest, respected chairman; charismatic, communicative manager who sticks to his principles; players who fight for the shirt and look to play the game in the right manner.

OK we have a bigger fanbase and history but it would be embarrassing to stay up instead of them.

Why is it that Blackburn are the only club protesting all season , You don't hear Bolton or Wigan fans calling for everyone to be sacked and they have be down there all season with Blackburn, What have the Venkeys done wrong, The Venkeys haven't spent millions , do you seriously think that if they had money like Chelsea and Man city they would have bought Blackburn, The fans go on about heritage , Why did the previous owners sell to the Venkeys , 1 Because there was no one else who wanted it 2 Blame the previous owners ,they didn't care about heritage ,they just wanted Cash.
Do you really not know why Venky's are loathed in Blackburn? Here's a short list:
1. Idiotic comments - Champions League with £5 mill ion investment.
2. Sacking all board members who had a clue what was going on.
3. Frittering away money on agent's fees for below average players.
4. Lack of investment.
5. Total lack of contact with the fans or the media.
6. Total absence from Ewood Park.
7. Idiotic comments (did I mention that?) - Our "brilliant" manager Steve Kean
8. Not sacking Steve Kean when he is clearly out of his depth.
9. Idiotic comments (again) - we are going to sign Damien Duff before they had even talked to Fulham.
10. Selling all the best players including Jones, Samba and letting other experienced players go for free.

Is that good enough?!!!

Relegation is now a formality but do you know what the best bit is?

Seeing the public humiliation as your club falls into financial ruin while you all carry on with the useless protests before you eventually go bankrupt and the club is closed for ever.

Now thats a team playing for the gaffer!!!!

The points gap widens..........

The trap door opens a little bit more..........

YA DOOOOOOOOOOOOOOMED!!






NO NAY NEVER
Might as well open up the 'Chumpionship' trap door too.

When all the rest of the players leave this summer I think wowvers are in for a big shock if they think it will be easy in the
'chumpionship' next season.

God save the Kean!

Venkys you are all absolute legends!
Why dont you try to READ some of the above posts before spouting the same bile over and over .No Rovers fan thinks it going to be easy with set up we have , big teams like Leeds etc are finding it hard to get promoted .Grow up !!
Relegation is now a formality but do you know what the best bit is?

Seeing the public humiliation as your club falls into financial ruin while you all carry on with the useless protests before you eventually go bankrupt and the club is closed for ever.

Here is a question for you.

What is red, white and blue and will be flying over deadwood during the queens jubilee?

A 'Tesco opening here soon' flag.

God save the Kean!
What a child you are .

"worst than cow"? fluppy from India, eh? ...To all attending the march ..

He'll put a big slice of blame for the likely relegation on the fans anyway,so at least hopefully it'll demonstrate that his claim of it only being a minority of protestors not being behind him is as big a lie as everything else that gushes forth from his shyster orifice . ...

I've been 'down' with Rovers before, even to the 3rd div and even during those dark days I never once abandoned them and stopped going. No matter how gutted I was at the time, it never even entered my head once. However, after decades of my support, after these two home games I'm finished with them and I will only return, whatever level they are at, when all those responsible for ruining my club have gone. The reason for this is that there is a difference between going down and being TAKEN down.

In all honesty I cannot complain that Blackburn Rovers will be relegated. I do not like it but in all honesty the club deserve to go down. The club has the most horrible owners in the Premier League. They have a poor team which has struggled throughout the season. There have been few above average/par performances in fact possibly only two, Man Utd and Liverpool; both away ironically. As for the manager, I think he has under perfomed although I think the main reason for the club going down is without doubt the Venkys and Jerome Anderson. The sooner the Venkys sell the better for all. As for Jerome Anderson, I think he should be ashamed of himself. Prospects for the future are dependant upon the Venkys selling until then, the club will continue to be in a precarious position and vulnerable to drop to Division 1 next season. As for Wigan, well doen to them. A remarkable recovery although it is down to being loved, well managed and and owned by a man with his heart in the right place.

let's face it the injuns are not gonna fire lard haw haw before the end of the season.
.
a march and protests against norwich will only give kean jong il and his meedja luvvie pals an excuse behind our inevitable relegation.
.
we all know that the vast majority of players hate him as much as the vast majority of supporters do too. the only people that seem to rate him are his meeja luvvie pals and some idiots that have got mad chicken disease over in pune.
.
old saying - give em enough rope and they will hang themselves. we will be relegated with or without protests with norwich and spuds game
.
personally, my belief is that any vehement catcalls against norwich are a couple of weeks too early. by the time we play the pie eaters we will be down if not before kick off then definitely after it.
.
keep your powder dry til the wigan game and then release hell as russell crowe said in gladiator. also worth applauding martinez throughout the game to let the press know we appreciate good management.

So now, why don't you all, take everything that you have plundered, and go, and don't come back, you've raped the Rovers!

We've loved, we've laughed and cried, we've had our fill, and share of losing. And now, as tears subside, I think you'll find, it's not amusing. To think, you've caused all this, and may I say all in a sly way, and now it's true to say, you've raped the Rovers!

So what is Kean, what has he got? what was his role, in this debacle? He's lied, and lied and lied, he's raped the Rovers!

With respect Pommie Art they own nothing purely monetary.

For any BFC supporter languishing in this situation - fine but, the spirit of this club, our club will never be taken away. That much you can be assured of and BRFC will return to it's rightful owners.

36 years for me and although most of it is filled with high points, some I never even dreamed of thanks to JW, here are my lowest points in reverse order.
5. Relegation to the 3rd in 79.
4. Relegation the the championship in 99.
3. Bristol Rovers away in 81 when we missed out on top flight footy to Swansea on goal difference.
2. Crystal Palace away in 89 play-off final 2nd leg. Missing out on top flight footy 4-3 on agg, after winning first leg 3-1. Still hurts that one.
1. The last 18 months and what looks like the inevitable.

The 79 relegation was a tough one but, just a youngster then and I dusted myself down - no sweat.

The Bristol Rovers scenario I was otherwise occupied. Thank goodness !

The 99 one floored me to such an extent I cycled off to Portugal and watched us relegated in a Youth Hostel. Becoming harder !

The Palace defeat was a bitter pill to swallow after hammering them down at Ewood. Walked off Selhurst Park in tears of frustration with 2 pals. Overwhelmed !

This shocking and disgraceful situation as broken my B&W heart.

I spoke to J Anderson on the phone for 1hr and 20 minutes and one of the questions I asked of him - man to man was:

'Why have you overseen the perceived destruction of OUR club BRFC' ?

His reply, Why would I want to destroy BRFC' ?

I said to him this is your word to me and I can only take you for your word and I will never forget it.

Well, he as spit in my face and all other(s) for that I will never ever forgive him as this disgraceful situation unfolds.

I will be back to breath live back into our club whence these scum have left and they will !

Aye, good on Fleetwood and fantastic management from Martinez at Wigan. I'm pleased for them for various reasons but, the outstanding reason is showing this odious little egocentric just how to motivate and manage a football team down amongst the dead men.

They will never ever see me forsake our club but, I will show them my utter distaste by abstaining.

One of the hardest decisions I've ever had to make but, in the end they have made it very simple for me.

And that is what worries me the most as how can the Venkys hope to sell us when we are a not a premier league club? They will surely hang around hoping for us to get back up and make us a sellable asset again, and that could make things even worse than now.....they could be here for years if they still choose not to invest in the team!
How? By firstly selling anything/body of any value to recoup some if not all the initial capital outlay. How they actually get the money out of the company, I wouldn't know. The accounts may make interesting reading though. Then offsetting the reduced income from the Championship (or below) by continuing to significantly reduce costs. The business becomes profitable - or virtually so - and bingo, is more saleable, albeit at a lower price. They may not make a lot but wouldn't lose much either, which I believe is their main concern. Or, worse still, it does actually become profitable and they hang on to it.
I understand your points but remember the despicable Walkers Trust had us up for sale for about three years or so and this was when we were a well run and stable mid table prem club..... Who on earth would be interested in us when we are in the Championship (or god forbid lower)......By anyones reckoning looks very much like the Venkys are going to be around for a long time yet - just hope Kean isn't still part of it...
If the price is right, who knows. The infrastructure would still be in place and we have, sorry had, been in the Prem for a long time. It may seem a decent opportunity. "Despicable" is a bit harsh by the way.
Despicable is actually very tame when used in conjunction with the words "Walkers Trust'.......which in itself is a big misnomer as the Trust that Jack set up was betrayed time after time by the trustees he left in charge. But for the actions of the WT we would not be in this terrible situation now. Despicable a bit harsh? No nay never too harsh sir....
The Walkers Trust was in charge of all his former companies and was not expected to fund the club in the way Jack had. I think we all knew that.

What they did was keep in place a sound management structure and team to do what was both realistic and beneficial, long term. They shoved a bit of cash in when needed as well. It was a long way from being a "despicable" form of ownership.

The sale to Venkys has been a disaster but was the Trust fed the same line as the rest of us when they came forward? I suppose they could have given Bill Kenwright at Everton a ring to see why he had knocked them back when they tried to buy his club.

Venkys published commitments at the time of the purchase bear no resemblance to what they have actually done since.

They had gone against what has proved to be the most important of them within a couple of months (see Williams / Finn / Goodman letter Jan 2011).

We all know who the common denominator was between the takeover and change of management team now don't we? (again, see Williams / Finn / Goodman letter Jan 2011).

The only way Rovers will EVER have a promotion again sadly is when we finally find another man manager, who can motivate a average side into believing again.Don Mackay, although HE never quite made it , but still brought a feel good factor to the club,is the only type of manager we can hopefully persuade to bring back some hope and pride amongst the fans.The sad facts are , it will be a very long time before the club will be sold by these leaches and untill then we need at least someone who knows about team spirit , telling the truth and how to use what limited talent is left to even hope for a future promotion push. The man Rovers need , who fits the bill with what is left is Ian Holloway. Forget the big names they are never going to come now, that is long in the past.
Have you not learnt anything from the last season and a half my friend? Kean will stay the manager as long as he continues doing the job the way that wankys want,which involves not complaining while firstly the professional staff running the club are forced out , then any above average player with a premiership value and/or on a premiership wage is sold or forced to move on,whilst being told which players he can and can't pick to play based solely on how much can be saved by not playing a certain player,as well as being willing to fly over to India once a month like a mafia bagman from a casino.He got the new, increased payment because he's doing a good job in their eyes,and turning a good profit so what does that suggest? So,where do you think they would find another "manager" like kean? Certainly not one presently a manager in at least the top 3 English Leagues, A man with the slightest ammount of honour would not stay more than a couple of months at Ewood at the most,and wankys really,really don't want any manager with even a touch of honour,honesty,integ
rity or even self respect. In short my friend,it looks like we've just got to suffer till they have finished milking their own personal cashcow. It's rumoured that they were really panicking about relegation till they were told about the parachute payments. Panic over i guess...R.T.I.D.

You whingers see it all as the end of the world! It is no big deal! Sam was a very boring ordinary manager. He was defo NOT the wonderboy so many of you seem to think he was.
.
Get a life! Think FOOTBALL! Think entertainment! Think joy and excitement! That's what football is about. Has Sam had such a negative influence on you that you've forgot the basics?
.
Rovers can play attractive football and survive in the Premier League without spending millions. Top 4 or 5 is stretching it with limited resources but it's possible to challenge those top teams and do well, and possibly even get into top positions now and then.

Many seem to think Sam made the most of what he had at his disposal. I disagree. We can do better than that. God help us if we can't!

£43m (£23m to Walkers + £20m debt) was the actual takeover figure for the club.
Venkys paid £20M of that. Kean/Anderson @ Co etc covered the rest.
In Aug 2011, the club was remortgaged, covered by itslf, by tv revenue or parachute payments if the club was to drop a division.

Now everyone has received their money back, Venkys from the sale of Jones immediately, Kean and Anderson from the remortgage. Left was Barclays who have received their money too as we all know who were after their repayments back last December. Since there have been more outgoing of staff, players etc, hence the sale of Samba, exactly why they (Barclays) arent moaning in the press anymore.

Well, quite right, the figures are not certain one way or the other? No one is sure apart from Venks/Kean/Anderson.


Either way, nothing has gone towards rebuilding the squad.

Anyone in business with the right frame of mind, especially if the owners were Venkys and were genuine, would have reinvested heavily in last transfer window to ensure survival because they would be very concerned about the £40 odd million they supposedly spent as the total value loss at relegation would be deadly... But they dont care, they received their money back, got plenty marketing and keep doing so and since have not bothered to listen to protests, talk to fans/media or do anything for the best of the club... Barclays have received majority or maybe all of their money from the savings from releasing players and the sale of Samba, hence why they havent been back in the press lately.

Sam has been sacked! Big deal!

You whingers see it all as the end of the world! It is no big deal! Sam was a very boring ordinary manager. He was defo NOT the wonderboy so many of you seem to think he was.
.
Get a life! Think FOOTBALL! Think entertainment! Think joy and excitement! That's what football is about. Has Sam had such a negative influence on you that you've forgot the basics?
.
Rovers can play attractive football and survive in the Premier League without spending millions. Top 4 or 5 is stretching it with limited resources but it's possible to challenge those top teams and do well, and possibly even get into top positions now and then.
.
Many seem to think Sam made the most of what he had at his disposal. I disagree. We can do better than that. God help us if we can't!
It's true, it is very exciting wondering if an opposing player is going to waltz into the penalty area and bang one in every time a cross comes into the box, and it is thrilling to wonder if we're going to plummet into the Chumpionship without so much as a whimper, and the joy it brings to see and hear that other teams around us are actually fighting for their lives is simply undescribable.

We are now at the last chance saloon. Our final experienced competent defender has now been frozen out, and we are left only with an over priced joke in Dann at the back as a recognised centre half. Dann the man who fell asleep for the first goal against Liverpool, an easily preventable goal and who has been inept all season. Wigan are all but safe now after last nights result.
-
This just leaves the remote possibility that after 5 straight losses, at the business end of the season. A demoralised and threadbare squad, guided by an inexperience incompetent manager can somehow find 3 wins from 4. Two of those four are away at Tottenham and away at Chelsea.
-
It is no wonder we are now 2/9 to go down.
-
It is now the duty of the fans to starve these chicken farmers of funds until they leave our great club, once and for all. Kean is just a symptom of these disease that is the Venkys.
-
We look all but gone. 90% down with only 4 games left. Another loss at home to a mediocre team (this time Norwich) will seal the deal.

Problem I see is, even with fans not renewing ST it’ll have little effect-no more than 3m would have been expected in revenue in ST sales ( a drop in the ocean compared to TV/Parachute payments) these bandits would have built all this into their ‘masterplan’…

Oh, Deluded Ones !

You have no born right to be in any particular league, though you will probably need good SatNavs to get you to the grounds you're now heading for.

Your owners will not be pushed into selling their club. For one thing, it's a wonderful status symbol - even when you're in League 1 - and for another, the tax write-offs on a loss-making business probably make you worth keeping.

You can't even afford to sack your manager.

Face facts. You have been punching above your weight for several seasons now, ever since Uncle Jack's money ran out. (No disrespect meant to Mr Walker rip).

In my opinion any dissenting voices come Saturday aimed at Kean would give this ---------- a get out clause for his utterly abject failings.

Silence and more silence is the weapon.

I accept that this will be very trying considering the circumstances.

What the hell as happened to the leaders or the voice's with any authority such as J.Straw etc ?

They have gone quiet !

We are damned if we do damned if we don't.

Took your advice and just woke up from a really silly dream about some bloke from fantasy island spouting about Kean owning the club....is the situation not bad enough without this kind of rubbish being allowed to be posted?
In all fairness FR, he makes more sense than the rubbish you've been spouting for 18 months. I expect (after all the ar$e licking you aimed at Kean) that you'll be very happy now that relegation is all but rubber stamped. Just glad to see the back of "Big Fat Sam" - the man you love to hate.
I see you are still as deluded and as big a liar as Kean smelly one! I NEVER backed Kean in any way at anytime and everyoe on here knows that including you. Strange that you have only just resurfaced now onto this blog, probably so that you can gloat at our demise, and pick at our last moments of survival like a scavenger of gloom and doom. Go back to your swamp oh smelly one....
Sorry this is a bit of an epic but I think it "WHEN WILL THE ROVERS FANS WAKE UP???" "theories" deserve a closer look.

So here goes.

VENKYS DONT CARE ABOUT PROTESTS!!! WHY WOULD THEY CARE ABOUT A SMALL TOWN IN THE NORTHWEST OF ENGLAND???BRFC IS OWNED BY VENKYS ONLY ON PAPER.
KEAN AND ANDERSON ARE THE TRUE OWNERS.

Maybe they don't care but despite all the conspiracy theories, Anderson and Kean do not “own” BRFC. I doubt very much Anderson has any direct input any more. That’s not to say he wasn’t complicit in the initial reformation of the club which has led, almost entirely, to the chaotic mess currently going by the name of Blackburn Rovers.

BRFC IS A BIG MONEY MAKING MACHINE… FOR KEAN AND ANDERSON.

No it isn’t. Like it or not, Venkys are wealthy people based on a successful business empire. The actual amount of money they (or anyone else) could ever have made was always limited (small town in NW England remember). As naïve as they may have been, they should have been able to see that from the accounts before buying the club. Is it too much of a stretch to think they would have cast an eye over those before buying? If they are so obsessed with making money as everyone seems to think, that would surely have been the first thing they would have looked at.

Anderson of course has played a major, destructive role (see above) but I don’t think he has any direct say anymore. Surely even he would not make public statements, including those by his solicitors (see SEM website 13/1/12) then risk being found out in a position of power at the club. A despicable sewer rat he may be, but he is not a stupid one.

KEAN IS IN SOLE CHARGE, REASON WHY NO ONE EXSIST ABOVE HIM ANYMORE, HAVE BEEN REMOVED (ALLARDYCE) OR LEFT (WILLIAMS) AS THEY HAD NO POWER. KEAN ALONE MAKES EVERY SINGLE DECISION FROM MANAGING TO RUNNING THE CLUB.

Letting an average football coach run a team is one thing but to suggests Venkys have been manipulated to the point of him being the absolute overlord is, frankly, nonsense. He reports back to them, about what who knows? He may be feeding them a load of rubbish about how everything is sweetness and light but I would like to bet, in view of the above, that his report does not include business plans, financial forecasts and the like.

WHATS IN IT FOR VENKYS? WELL... FOR THE INITIAL OUTLAY WHICH THEY RECOVERED FROM THE SALE OF PHIL JONES, THEY REMORTGAGED THE CLUB TOP TO BOTTOM AND HAVE SINCE RECOVERED ALL THE MONEY FROM MORE PLAYER SALES.

If you were a young player and Man U came in for you, would you not be tempted? An increase in income of god knows how many hundred per cent and the prospect of playing at the highest level? Get real. Jones would have gone no matter who owned the club or who the manager was.
I personally believe, having seen the 1000% rise in losses, they have realised they can potentially lose a lot of money, or at least sufficient to make them take stock, shall we say. The sales followed as well as the cost cutting exercise (eg Salgado, Roberts and possibly Nelson). The timing of the Samba sale was dubious, suggesting it was done so they would not have to spend any of it - or more accurately, they would be seen as being unable to spend any of it.


ETC.(PRINCESS TRUST FREE SHIRT SPONSOR WAS A VERY CLEVER STUNT + BIG PLAYER SIGNING TARGETS - BECKHAM, RONADINHO ETC ETC)!ALL A CLEVER MARKETING STRATEGY…

The Princes Trust logo on the shirts was not a marketing exercise initially. Paul Hunt said there were several candidates to sponsor the shirts but none were suitable. Now whether there were or not it suggests they were looking for one. The Princes Trust may ultimately be seen as a marketing or goodwill exercise, but only as an alternative to nothing at all. Of course, not being able to find a shirt sponsor when playing in the most widely broadcast league on the planet is another thing.

Plus, if this is a world wide goodwill gesture to promote the club around the World, who in South America or South East Asia knows what the heck the Princes Trust is?

The big names were only mentioned when they bought the club. Standard procedure to get the fans onside, embarrassing though it was to any Rovers fans still residing on Planet Earth. They did, in fairness, speak to one or two of them although we all knew it was pie-in-the-sky from day one.

THE VENKYS BRAND HAS EXPLODED AROUND THE GLOBE AT PHENOMENAL SPEEDS!!!

Because they own Blackburn Rovers? Show me the figures and I’ll hold up my hand but I doubt their company has “exploded” (shame it hasn’t done that literally) due to taking us over. Buying the club was part of their policy to expand but have you seen Venkys advertised anywhere except around the pitch at Ewood?

THEY DONT CARE WHAT HAPPENS AT EWOOD, HENCE WHY THEY DONT TURN UP OR TALK TO THE FANS.

They care about what happens with the club - see above re finances. If they don’t own the club and therefore no control, as you suggest, why should they care and what could they do if they did? Similarly, why should they talk to the fans?

They do own the club and yes, their lack of attendance or communication is disgraceful.

ANDERSON IS JOINT OWNER WITH KEAN, BUT BECAUSE HE IS AN AGENT, ACCORDING TO PREMIER LEAGUE RULES, CANNOT OWN A CLUB! (HERES WHERE VENKYS FIT IN);ANDERSON MAKES MONEY FROM TRANSFERS TO AND FROM ROVERS AS AGENCY FEES (THINK OF ALL THE DUD SIGNINGS IN LAST FEW WINDOWS AND SUPRISE SUPRISE, ROVERS PAID 2ND HIGHEST AGENCY FEES IN THE PREMIER LEAGUE AFTER MAN CITY IN 2011).

See above re Anderson, but Steve Kean, the owner! Please. Of course Anderson makes agents fees; that’s his job. How he gets the deals which get him and his fellow leeches the money is a different matter.

It wasn’t the second highest, more 7th or 8th, by the way. Still far too much mind you.

Never let the facts get in the way of a good (fairy) story.

KEAN ON THE OTHER HAND, UNSACKABLE NO MATTER HOW POOR THE RESULTS, BLAGS THE FANS, MEDIA ETC!!! AFTER THE BOLTON LOSS AT EWOOD, KEAN SAID, “I WOULD BE 100% SHOCKED IF I WAS SACKED"... DUH!!! WORST MANAGER IN PREMIER LEAGUE EVER AND HE SAID THAT AFTER ALL THE PROTESTS AND DERBY DAY DEFEAT ON HOME TURF. HIS ARROGANCY AND COCKINESS SAYS IT ALL.

What would you expect him to say “Blimey, that’s my number up. Mind you, I am pretty useless so I wouldn’t blame them”?

They were on the points of sacking him until Mrs D took pity on him. She thought the players were all behind him! I think that’s been blown out of the water somehow. They probably don’t know WHAT to do now mind. Perhaps they should ask John Williams…..oh yes, sorry, forgot, we’ve dumped him.

EVEN IF ROVERS ARE RELEGATED,WHICH THEYRE 99% THERE, KEAN AND ANDERSON STILL MAKE LOADS FROM PARACHUTE PAYMENTS!!! WIN WIN SITUATION!!!

Only 99%? I don’t quite get this obsession with parachute payments being everyone's Holy Grail and they will make loads more money if we go down. It would still be more profitable to stay in the Premier League - you may have noticed this gets mentioned every time promotion or relegation comes up. So, Portsmouth or Leeds, say, have made more money since they were relegated? The problem is Venkys are trying to stay up on an unrealistic budget and with a manager incapable of using it, or any other budget for that matter.

IF VENKYS TRULY OWNED THE CLUB, THEY WOULDVE INVESTED HEAVILY IN LAST TRANSFER WINDOW TO SAVE THEIR INVESTMENT OF AROUND £40M VALUE DECREASING BY 90% TO £4M DUE TO THE DROP TO THE CHAMPIONSHIP!

So if Anderson and Kean were in charge, their supposed investment WOULDN’T drop by the same amount? Mr Anderson has more power than we thought. Why did THEY not invest heavily then? I mean Anderson would have got the vast agents fees you mention as well. Win, win, I believe was your expression.

Plus, assuming Venkys do actually own the club of course, they are not going to invest “heavily“, nor did they ever intend to. Their initial plan was to put in between £3 and £5 million p.a. Like I said, totally unrealistic.

BUT THEY DIDNT, BECAUSE U NOW KNOW WHY!!!

No I don’t but it most certainly isn’t because of your “theory”.

WAKE UP ROVERS FANS!!!!

Most have, except we found ourselves still in the real world.

And yes, I do have too much time on my hands at the moment.....

You are making the correct decision in holding off ST renewal.

Any fair minded person & I speak of those who would vilify us the supporter in the various Media outlets are surely going to have the truth put onto them at some point ?

We are up in arms concerning all the happenings down at Ewood but, I cannot help feel we are alone in this if we take into consideration what as materialized with other clubs these last 10/15 years.

No-one cares over BRFC only we, the fans. We will return.

Merely commenting on a fellow poster's theories old boy.

I didn't think there was anything either way, positive or negative.

Aye, craftandgraft, Morning.

I have received letters from and read letters of concerned supporter's in reply from Premier League's Richard Scudamore. They are sat on their hands, along with hiding behind the legitimate framework they call 'RULES'

We have to show that 'RULES' are/have been broken for them to act.

Only people of real authority can get to the bottom of this. We have to keep up the pressure if only to wrestle the club back for owners who really care for BRFC regardless of what the aftermath is to be ?

No doubt an iron rod is ruling BRFC at present.

Samsno2… Thanks for sharing your theories with us, however I do disagree with a few and have my own theories…ie

" It would still be more profitable to stay in the Premier League"

Hmm, not sure about that one…….maybe for one season! Most small/medium sized clubs in the EPL have massive wage bills in relation to income, in most case the wage bill is greater than any TV revenue for a season. Club’s gate receipts and everything that goes with that i.e. merchandising, catering, corporate etc give’s these sized clubs breathing space to survive. Really small clubs ie Wigan, QPR( based on fanbase) are either very prudent/really well run club (like Wigan) or have a billionaire owner (like QPR) to help with any deficit.

No doubt if Rovers kept in the EPL next season they’d make money, the reason being because they have shifted or are shifting their high wage earners from out of the club, there lies the problem, in reality higher wage earners are usually (not always) the better players, teams wanting to survive in the EPL need better players. One of reason Rovers will be relegated (besides the obvious!) is the standard/quality of player in the team, which due solely to a new wage structure policy at the club. The only way Rovers will ply their trade in the EPL is by competing, that just doesn’t mean competing on the pitch, it means competing for the signature for the better players who demand higher wages. This regime’s policy was/is to do things on the cheap and hope!! the reality is, it will cost investment from them to be a successful/sable EPL club which quite obviously they won’t entertain…..so now for stage 2… low wage bill in place, supplemented by Parachute payments and the sale of a few of the more valuable players at the club replacing with cheaper alternatives. Another successful(financial

I’m not denying they are shifting players out or reducing the wage bill to save money.
Like I said, they are trying to do things on an unrealistically low budget. Relegation and the huge reduction of income was not part of their business plan - I’d like to have seen them sell that one to Barclays - just a consequence of the unmitigated disaster they have brought about

Like you say you either run the club prudently or have a sugar daddy.

They failed to do the former (1000% increase in losses) having suggested they would be the latter.

Maintaining the high Premier League income and reducing costs is surely a simple case of mathematics. They would still have to pay players/staff no matter which division we are in, some of which will have contracts which remain unaffected by relegation. It will be difficult to get rid of some of these due to them being pretty f@ckin’useless whilst still having the nerve to try and get parity in wages from their potential new club. I mean, who’s going to take dear old Myles off our hands? The vultures will be circling waiting for us to compromise on the fee to get the supposedly more valuable players off the wage bill.

It would not therefore be as simple as just introducing a lower wage bill at a stroke. That has been one of the main problems facing the clubs which have been relegated year after year.

What will the TOTAL amount of parachute money be and over what period? I fancy, if by some miracle we stayed up (stop laughing at the back), the money we get for one extra season would not be too different to all that we would get from the parachute payments.

So, as I say, in an ideal world they would prefer to stay where they are whilst cutting costs as well. This is highly unlikely to be successful in the short term (one month and counting) and would undoubtedly fail in the long run. Not many clubs run at a profit remember, regardless of the Premier League money or prudent management. Somebody always gets relegated, usually those who are punching above their weight - like we have been doing.

However, as someone said earlier above, its one thing to go down but entirely different to be taken down. That’s what is so unpalatable about this.

Rovers’ wage bill has always been well above the accepted recommended proportion of turnover ever since we’ve been in the Prem. The difference was we have had both a sugar daddy followed by prudent management of the club after he had gone (RIP).

Have Swansea, Norwich or Wigan spent more than us on players or wages? Absolutely not. Probably several others as well. Throwing money at it does not automatically mean you stay up - I give you Brian Kidd; his team was the second most expensive, pro-rata, ever to have been relegated from the Premiership (Newcastle were the most expensive, by the way). We still had a sugar daddy to cover it though.

I maintain this whole mess has been the result of totally irresponsible, ignorant and perhaps naive management of the club. They are trying to avoid losing any more money having been responsible for the financial disaster they have overseen.

As business people, this will involve forecasting future income etc based on different scenarios; standard business procedure. The bank will have demanded it anyway. The most likely scenario now is for us to be relegated and all income streams slashed. They will obviously try to offset this further by reducing costs as it is equally clear they are not prepared to dip their hands too deep into their pocket.

I still can’t see how relegation will earn them any more money though, sorry.

And yes, I do still have too much time on my hands. (I’m not a well man, y’know)

Those returning their ST renewals are being entered into a free draw by Rovers Management.
3rd prize is a Rovers full hospitality season ticket for next season regardless of division.
2nd. prize is a Clarets basic season ticket.
The 3rd prize has gone to Yarkshah Rover and the 2nd to Morstthe88th........
...... who was heard to remark to the Rovers' Promotions Director "wtf : 3rd gets a super Rovers prize but 2nd a crap Burnley prize.How come"?
"Well the Clarets ticket is autographed by Agent Kean"
"Fcuk agent Kean" said Morst.
"That's the 1st. prize" was the reply !!

Kean out ? ......... anagram .......... O Kanute ! ......futilely attempting to stem the inevitable.

The only people putting up a fight at Rovers are the "fans" on here : amongst themselves.

You whingers see it all as the end of the world! It is no big deal! Sam was a very boring ordinary manager. He was defo NOT the wonderboy so many of you seem to think he was.

Get a life! Think FOOTBALL! Think entertainment! Think joy and excitement! That's what football is about. Has Sam had such a negative influence on you that you've forgot the basics?

Rovers can play attractive football and survive in the Premier League without spending millions. Top 4 or 5 is stretching it with limited resources but it's possible to challenge those top teams and do well, and possibly even get into top positions now and then.
.
Many seem to think Sam made the most of what he had at his disposal. I disagree. We can do better than that. God help us if we can't!
I was driven out by all the Phil Jones luvvies. So I left. Oh and as for my support of venkys that was only in the initial months after they removed the previous cancer. Notice people realise I was right all along about the walkers. Philipl on BRFCS claimed Fred Walker's illness distracted them. Now that he's dead they still won't do anything. The Walkers have no shame.

I'm past the point of making any suggestions or protests but I would have assumed that BRIST would have a different plan of attack by now. Then again this is the same group that are deluded enough to consider a fan takeover possible.

Jones, venkys, the walkers and to some extent the fans are all responsible for the collapse of Jack Walker's legacy. Monumental action is required some silly little march with your wife and 2 kids won't sort it. The only one to try and confront venkys was me and that was only to clear my conscience.

Otherwise you will all be left picking at the football equivalent of a rotting corpse.

Why because Rovers fans can't accept criticism and the fact that they have done just as much as anyone to kill the legacy of a great man. Idiots like you, parochial buffoon Morst amongst others are no better than venkys or the walkers are.

Typically ignorant response its people like yourself who have allowed Kean to be portrayed as a sympathetic figure. Its quite ironic really the one time Rovers fans do something right (Kean abuse) they get condemned by the media masses.

Moaning about the media like a bunch of whining crybabies. It shows the type of person I am when I can muster even the slightest ounce of sympathy for rovers fans considering the harsh treatment I received.

I said no more suggestions but perhaps you should use walking sticks on the "march" to signify how the club has been crippled by venkys. That might not be politically correct but the meaning would be accurate.

Doomed is right. Venkys will not sell, Kean will still be there, you will go down. As far as buying the club off them will not help, the rot has taken place, its too close to the end of the season to climb out of the pit you are in. Doomed from the start. How much will the venkys make off a relegation. Think about it.

They will surely hang around hoping for us to get back up and make us a sellable asset again, and that could make things even worse than now.....they could be here for years if they still choose not to invest in the team!
Exactly FR - thats why we must hold back on ST renewals until Kean is sacked and Venkys invest some funds or sell.
.
An empty stadium would be a major embarrasment to them as well as starving them of funds - thats all we can do and protest via local media.

It's a while since I posted, just got too frustrated with the black comedy at Ewood.
I won't renew my season ticket for the first time since 93. Followed Rovers since 83.
Will instead support the team at away games only.
Get Venkys and the MORON Kean out of our club.
