PR chief Agnew all set for a seat on the Blackburn board (From Lancashire Telegraph)

Rovers supporter since the age of six? One thing is for sure, nobody working for Kean and Venkys can claim to be a Rovers supporter.

Job description....COMMU
NICATION, COMMUNICATION, COMMUNICATION!!!!

Deckchairs... Titantic....

The club has the worst PR in football, so we'll give the messenger a bigger hat.
Exactly what does this achieve ?

rovers supporter ??? yeah we will see, or just an a**e licker for steve kean and the venkys, sounds like jobs for the boys to me

Another farce in this long running saga of the biggest set of crooks football will ever see..PI55 OFF the lot of you that are stripping our club dry and kean if you av any role left at rovers watsoever you can guarantee that many fans will boycott the rovers ..so better you just go for everyones sake

Just hope that Mr Agnew looks at his tiltle and takes it literally...with communication the present staus quo has only a sliver of a chance of being accepted,without it.......

Well at least Paul Agnew has hit the ground running with the bullsh*t. Kean will be well chuffed.

This is reallY

Maybe the new director of comms. can tell us what the stuff is going on????

Could he not have improved communication whilst in his roll as press officer these past eighteen months? why does he think because he is a board member it will be any different! do the present board members know whats going on!!! NO .This is starting to smell very bad indeed what does it take for Venkys to stop acting like total prats and listen to whats being said on the terraces and in the media.Looks like the only way is as has been put forward a boycott of Ewood.

Well at least he knows what the problem is with communication but does he have the brief to fix it? As Press Officer in the past he was quite limited as to what he could say. But surely as Director of Communications he will have a more open and free role to help resolve some of the massive communication issues we have seen over the last 12 months..?

Give him a chance . . . .

How can anybody involved in the PR of the club for the last 18 months be promoted. Press relations and communications have been dreadful. Perhaps his first communication could involve an apology, a statement on the plans for Brockhall and plans for the structure of the club in the next 3 years.

Paul Agnew is the PR equivalent of Steve Kean.

I hate Kean & I hate Venkys. Kean better get fired today or I'm going to f**k up PAPR as well as Venkys.

Looks like Kean is staying as manager.

He has just precided over 18 months of what can only be termed misinformation at best.

Doing a brilliant job so far Paul, no one even knows if we have a manager or what the deluded pillock's role is!

"I will do my level best to improve communication" - well then Paul your "level best" is rubbish.

What other business would get away with treating its customers with such contempt?

In Agnew, we have Kean's puppet and so his influence is strengthened.

To all those people who took advantage of the early bird season ticket offer - thank you - you have assisted in strengthening Kean's position, all for the sake of saving £10, £20 or £30. You could have at least waited for the 'claim your own seat' deadline.

To offset the bad news of Kean and Agnew strengthening their position I now expect a 'fantastic' season ticket offer to tempt people to renew. Maybe something like Charlton did and followed by Burnley i.e. buy one for 2012/13 and if we win promotion get 2013/14 free?

I just hope those with the real interest of Rovers at heart hold firm for the log term good of the Club and don't renew until these parasites are no longer at Ewood.

Quite simply - a disgraceful decision

Dear Mr Agnew

If this story is true - and you are a true supporter of our club then your first act as an executive director - and remind yourself what the responsibilities of a director are before you begin this process - is to reveal the TRUE FACTS of what has happened to our club and what the future intentions are. Stop patronising thousands of decent,honest
people, many of whom make lots of sacrifices to follow the club.

Your second act is to convince the Venkys that Mr Kean - at any level- does not deserve or warrants any role at this club. He has single handedly dragged this club down to its lowest level, in the eyes of the supporter, in the 50 years I have followed the club. He is a liability. He has brought shame and introduced farce where we had pride and purpose.

You have a major rebuilding job to do to bridge the gap - the chasm - that he and the owners have created between the club and supporter. As a positive, first step in the rebuilding process - I ask that you ensure that Mr Kean is sacked and that he has no other role whatsoever in the future of this club. Only then - and I am sure I reflect the intentions of many - like you - true supporters - will I consider renewing my season ticket.

Keeping him will re-emphasise that our club will only be heading in one direction, where the few will profit - including Mr Kean - and thousands will be left with broken dreams. Do not seriously believe that we will blindly follow something that is projecting the strong smell of corruption. Communicate this Mr Agnew before it is too late.

He has been issuing all the Kean press releases. Were you pleased with ANY of those? As press office he would have been advising Kean.
He is part of the problem as it is clear that he is in the inner circle of management who are running Rovers. That may be Venkys, but it is looking increasingly unlikely that others do not have a big say in how the club has been run, and will continue to be run.
I think dark forces are at work!

Keans plan is coming together Agnew on the board expect Colin Hendry as manager next,Kean has got Mrs D in his pocket.

Director of Communications = Director of Spin - think Alistair Campbell. No more needs to be said.

Is Paul any relation to Spiro Agnew?...

Come on Agnew be honest, the press office has been as much a part of the problem as Kean is. It has been instrumental for the positive spin in the national media for the owners & Kean.
At the same time the supporters have been marginalised and derided from within the club; what part did you play in this?

Everyone boycott ewood it's our only chance to rid the filth from our club! RTID.....

This is getting to sound more and more like a consortium put together by a number of people (inc Kean/Anderson and now possibly Agnew) with Venky's there to pass the 2fit and proper" test (from a historical financial sense).
.
Why else would Agnew be promoted when there is absolutely no reason for it? Why do Venky's do whatever Kean tells them to do?? Why hasn't he been sacked?? Why hasn't the Premier League investigated this farce yet???

So our Executive Board consists of
a Matriarch, the chuckle brothers and two punkawallahs in Kean and Agnew.
Time to hire Blackpool Opera House.

PNE fans hate Agnew for what he did there look were they are now....this is becoming seriously, seriously strange all the crooks in one basket here for sure..IT NEEDS INVESTIGATING IN DEPTH SOMEONE GETOF YOUR ARSE AND LOOK INTO WHAT IS HAPPENING AT BLACKBURN ROVERS,,,AGNEW OUT KEAN OUT VENKYS OUT KENTARO AND ANDERSON OUT

I've heard you in the background stopping questions being asked eve pushing away a Radio Lancashire reporter for asking a pertinent question. You might have a uniform a badge or a title but we regard you on the same level as kean and the venkys gang. We aren't interested in anything you might say.
"Stick your fingers in your ear and sing TING A LING A LOO."

BOYCOTT ALL ROVERS FANS MUST ACT AND ACT NOW... >>LETS PUT AN END TO THIS F%^KIN CIRCUS

My spies tell me Kean is in line for the John Williams role. The madness continues.

46 years a season ticket holder but no more until the Venky's go

Hate to say this but this is just a red herring! Looks very much to me as though it will be business as usual. ie, carry on milking the club, we've weathered the current speculation, and there is still plenty of money to be made out of BRFC. It's a nightmare!

rovers fan or not - you are no friend of the club or the town if you are prepared to jump on board the cowboy and indians bandwagon.....you should be ashamed of yourself and the appalling press and pr that has emerged from ewood park under your watch.......AND THEN YOU GET CHUFFING PROMOTED!!!
.
in business and in life communication should be
1) legal
2) decent
3) honest
4) truthful
it could be argued that rovers communication has flouted all 4 of those criteria in the last 18 months and certainly 2) 3) and 4).
.
Communication - dont make me laugh - if you are aware that it has been an issue - what the bl00dy nora have you done to improve it?
.
heaven's to betsy - we dont even know if we have got a carthorse manager or not - how on earth are you meant to solve the chronic level of season ticket renewals when supporters don't even know if the spectre at the feast is still our manager.
.
PATHETIC!

As your first job maybe you should in detail explain these claims from a poster on here last December...
IMO THE POLICE SHOULD INVESTIGATE THESE CLAIMS ALONG WITH FIFA AND THE F.A!!

Certainly explains a few things...






"ROVERS THE TRUTH wrote...

"I am very well connected with BRFC and have sat on this info for long 
enough. You want to know whats going on at Ewood? Here it is...

Steve KEAN (Minor 2nd team coach) is connected to a number of pretty serious Glasgow criminals who had a vast amount of money which required laundering
 (2-3million). 
As an employee of the club, KEAN was aware that ROVERS had been for sale for quite some time with very little serious interest from anyone. He knew the price and the money which would be required to purchase it. 
He approached his management company KETARO (owned by ANDERSON) and put to him a business plan for the purchase of the club. This plan would give ANDERSON unofficial control of the club and enable him to 'legally' 
perform the sort of transaction with existing and future players on his 
books that got West Ham into trouble with the TEVEZ / MASSCARNO saga (the buying and selling of players being the only way to make money from a Premier League club).
The consortium that KEAN suggested involved himself (representing the gangster money) being a shareholder and part owner in the little scheme. KENTRO unable to purchase a Premier League club to to league conflict rules, then scouted around emerging markets (India / China / Brazil) for a company to come in as the "official new owners" someone capable of satisfying the "fit and proper test" laid down by the Premier League. 
VENKYS loved the idea, as they were already keen to attack the European market and expand 
beyond India. The cost to VENKY'S for taking part in the venture was half the purchase price of 43million (This 20 million was set aside by VENKY'S anyway for marketing costs in breaking into the European market, so net coast to VENKY'S being NIL). The remainder of the cost was met by ANDERSON and a number of others in his syndicate 
(including KEAN).
 The scheme was sold to all involve as being 'win win' as the purchase price was assured of being returned to all members of the syndicate by TV money, and, in worst case relegation parachute payment (which totaled coincidentally approx 43 million!).
KEAN had one condition for his involvement, the removal of BIG SAM and his promotion to Club Manager. The removal of the established management 
infrastructure was essential in helping the group keep the deal secret, hence JOHN WILLIAMS, TOM FINN and the rest of the board members were thanked for their services and shown the door. 
The recent mortgage in Aug 2011 for 43million is assured against 
the TV money for this year and any subsequent parachute payment from 
relegation whether that come this year or in the future. 
This money has been returned to all members of the syndicate to cover their initial stake (hence the secrecy), thus any money made from here on in by way of transfers, TV money, sale of the club being total profit to the group. 
The Indians are basically passengers on this train, and as now they have 
their money back, they are totally uninterested in the future of the 
club. For them it remains what it always has been, a marketing tool. 
ANDERSON is keen to continue to use the club as a feeder for his younger less established players, he makes money by legitamatly charging massively inflated agent fees for all players coming in and out, and in the event of a player making a big breakthrough, gains millions for the syndicate in the sell on fee. KEAN, well he's just living the dream, he would never have made a Premier League manager as long as he lived, the best he could aspire to was being someones No 2 and that dream was 
5-10years away. The new improved deal recently signed by KEAN is in recognition and reward from all concerned as the others have all done very well out of the deal to date (he obviously had to be rewarded as well). He is the Manager and he's going nowhere, not because he's "un-sackable" but because he's delivered what he said and not withstanding - HE OWNS PART OF THE 
CLUB (albeit via his gangster friends in Glasgow)!
All of his little trips to INDIA are not about HIM answering to the INDIANS,  they are about HIM telling 
THEM what to do, when to speak and what to say, all the stuff that needs to be said in person, at risk of emails or phone calls being recorded! 
The whole thing would take a financial investigator years to uncover and is more or less impossible to trace as the paper trail all runs though VENKYS in INDIA!
They have the club pretty much sewn up.
The recent interest from the Middle East Quatari Petroleum, is of no interest to the syndicate as they only stand to gain a little over what they paid, the rewards from keeping the club are much more to them than that!
If this deal ever came out, people will be going to jail, so don't expect it to anytime soon.

Oh what fun to be a Rovers fan!"

Agnew, don't think your shameful support of Kean & Venky's has gone unnoticed...it hasn't, you treacherous coward.

You're a Rovers fan? Don't make me laugh!

This is bad feeling and to me their all need going because every decision inside the club stinks.

Venkys **** get out and take your clowns with you.

If no one in authority is prepared to listen to the fans concerns, then the only weapon left is a mass boycott. Urge all your fellow fans not to re-new, and the fans that have re-newed ask them to consider asking for a refund. Nobody wants to go down this road, but these people will destroy the club unless we make a stand now!

I've changed my mind. I Don't buy in to the conspiracy theory as it has too many flaws. Far more likely that Venky's knew their empire at home was crumbling and there was going to be an 70% downturn in profits. So they changed their plans. Any monies promised to Keanocho for transfers was removed and he was told to cut costs. We got relegated in the process in order to save money. Hence Keanochio staying at the club. As pointed out above by someone else.
It would have been better to tell us up front instead of the face saving exercise which transpired. Why didn't they just say we have no money, we thought we did but we don't. Kean should be sacked anyway just from the quality of his signings and being a tactically inept pig headed moron liability. Other clubs with the same budget or less are still in the PL. So it is down to Keanochio why we are where we are.
Keanochio must go period.

Former chairman Rob Coar is still on the Board of Directors but his silence is deafening.
Come on Mr Cryer let's be having some comment from him - he is the one remaining link to the Walker era.

Check out PAPR's website,it's a laugh a minute with the claims they make. Plus it's got a e-mail address that you can bombard the incompetent fools.

publicity@papr.co.uk

Communication is a two way process. Based upon your record in your previous position, I don't supoose you will fufil your obligation to communicate the feelings of the fans and the people of Blackburn to Wiked Witch of the East. You probabley won't even get the chance to talk to her. It's down to you now to prove youself not a hypocrite and turd polisher.

Communicate this Mr Quisling= The Venkys,Keanocchio,Er
ic Black,Bradley Whore etc,I hate you all,enjoy what your doing but never forget,what goes round comes round.I couldnt live my life needing to look over my shoulder,needing to check my mail,my car,worrying at strange noises at night,am i been followed,personally i would never advocate breaking the law but some bad people out there,stay safe you lying scumbags.

Keans plan is coming together Agnew on the board expect Colin Hendry as manager next,Kean has got Mrs D in his pocket.

How long would Colin Hendry last as manager? The first time he said no to Venkeys he would be out on his backside, as would any manager who said no. I think this could be why they are keeping Kean, they can't find a yes man to replace him.

How much longer do we have to put up with this farce. Has this man Kean not got any honour?
He should RESIGN NOW AFTER WHAT HE HAS DONE TO OUR CLUB.The man is a DISGRACE.!!!!!!!!!!!
!!!!!

I think the BIG SAM issue could bring about a sea change at Rovers, Breach of Contract???

Colin Hendry was rumoured to be Keans choice,Colin has been very supportive of Kean and needs a job.

Brilliant.

Finger on the pulse PR agency using a picture of Ryan Nelson in a Crown sponsored shirt.

Always thought that farmyard smell coming from Ribchester was agricultural, now I know Paul is producing it all in Bee Mill !

Agnew is a complete toilet! You'll never be accepted by the fans mainly because you're Keans lover/puppet or both.

Get the **** out of our club you cancerous toad.

is he on a decent salary?

B*LL*CKS ROVERS FC.

he's a f*cking crook.

B*LL*CKS ROVERS FC

Colin Hendry as manager!!!?? anyone else thinks he is up to the job should that be the case? I don't, far from it....so the Kean circus goes on - Agnew, no idea who you are or what your point is at Rovers...all we know is SHAFTED!!!

Hendry as manager? Laughable.

Why would we want to replace one alcoholic dirtbag scot with another....

Hendry would be ideal, compare his CV with Keans, scotland international captain, PL winners medal, the guy commands respect in the game. The only time I've seen Roy kean sh1t himself and apologise was when hendry took him by the throat. Anyone gives him any sh1t and they end up with a face like his, he used it for knocking in fence posts ar brockhall.
Hendry, if he gets offered it, should come in and kick some arse. And if anyone thinks that a bald nomark nonentity like kean could tell him what to do, well you need medical help.

fair point for the cause...and I sort of agree with you to a point...you must have SK qualities at convincing ppl...only difference your speaking the truth!!!

Our new Director of Communications is doing a cracking job.

What a fcuking shambles!!!!

Does Mr Agnew know how to converse in the Indian provincial language of Pune? The communication with the owners is vital as whatever happed last season between the owners and Kean obviously did not work. The owners have again shown their lack of business acumen by not dismissing Kean as he is not a fit and proper person to manage a football club and he has not got the necessary intelligence to carry out an administration role.

KDG - your defence of a Rovers legend is admirable but I fear our memory may be blurring the more recent facts...
Colin has publically claimed support for the deluded one.
Colins track record in Management is v poor.
Colin has had a v difficult time since he lost his wife and is subject to a lot of other accusations, e.g. colinhendrylies.com.


I'll always remember him as a Rovers great but I can't share your enthusiasm for him in this role at this time.

So he has stood by and watched the clueless slaphead stick two finger up at us with his remarks about "1%" and ignoring the fans who protest whilst portraying us as a bunch of thugs from whom he has to be protected. How on earth could anyone consider this to be good communications? In return for this he becomes a director! Words fail me!

And he didn't cover himself in glory, or show any loyalty to Jack Walker, when he took a signing on fee and then cleared off to Rangers "to be nearer to his family" within a few weeks

It is really sad times for Rovers fans and I do not understand why the FA, or a similar governing body, is not protecting one of its member clubs.

Agnew, being a PR expert, you might wanna take Nelson off your site, Venkys couldn't afford to pay him no more, thought you would know that being a BRFC fan!! I also hear he's sueing them.. Your firm must be really 'on the ball'!!!!!

What a bunch of jokers.

Venkys-Kean, now the lamest PR firm in the North West.


RIP BRFC

Agnew - don't you ever, ever call yourself a Rovers supporter - You are Keans biggest ally and through association, condone what he and the chicken farmers have done to our club. You ought to be ashamed of yourself.

P.S. When are we going to find out from our 'Communications people' what is happening to 'Slaphead'. There's a few of us ready to renew ST's once we find out he's gone.

IMHO ALL SAD....BUT VERY, VERY TRUE.

I think people need to get a sense of perpective here.

No matter what the club means to you and me, however respected John Williams was in his role and his concerns, valid or not - Blackburn Rovers, THE COMPANY was sold lock, stock and barrel to a foreign land, whose selfish priorities, corruptions and employee treatment are well documented and known.

Venky's are indian owners. They as many Indian owned companies do, have priorities and traditons that are much different to ours. So whilst there methods and lack of communications may baffle you, it is not altogether a novel idea in their respective countries that they would not communicate, respect or take into consideration employees concerns, or in this case loyal supporters.

Completely agree.

Agnew in this new role will be as useless as he was in his last, have we not had eighteen months of bad communication whilst he was in his post. We all know Kean put your name forward because you are a yes man and wont rock the boat, dont expect the fans to be delerious with delight on this appointment Mr Agnew unless your going to grow some and speak out about the shambols that is now Blackburn Rovers! over to you now Mr Agnew we wait with baited breath!!

You get your dream new job, director of communications, and your first task is to communicate to your audience that Kean is still manager.
No wonder we haven't heard anything,the new director of communications has thrown a sickie on his first day.

Paul if you are a true fan can you tell the Venkys should Kean be kept on in any capacity I will not step foot on Ewood Park, and again as a fan you should know why.
In case you have forgotten Mr Kean has brought the club into disrepute with his comments to a fellow manager in a drunken rant, he has been convicted of drunk driving and a small matter of he has got my club relegated with his OWN team, untill this message gets across to the owners I feel a lot of fans will do the same as me and STAY away!!

As the new press officer please pass this message on, thank you.

We can come up with a mass of different versions of what we think has gone down but whichever we believe is true, it all amounts to the same. We need this lot out lock stock and barrel or it will just go from bad to worse.

I wonder what customer service is like when you walk into a Venky chicken take away, do they speak to you, do they ask what you want or are you told what you will have and then do they keep you waiting for weeks whilst they decide to tell you what is going on! This of course is after you have paid your money before you go into the shop to find out if they have anything worth having. How have they made millions???

Hendry would be ideal, compare his CV with Keans, scotland international captain, PL winners medal, the guy commands respect in the game. The only time I've seen Roy kean sh1t himself and apologise was when hendry took him by the throat. Anyone gives him any sh1t and they end up with a face like his, he used it for knocking in fence posts ar brockhall.
Hendry, if he gets offered it, should come in and kick some arse. And if anyone thinks that a bald nomark nonentity like kean could tell him what to do, well you need medical help.

come on KDG wise up, hendry will be answering to kean. we will still be in the sh1t.

You're doing a good job so far Paul. More of this communication please.

Good to see it's business as usual.

Let me guess, the press statements have been prepared and have been sent to the loonies in Pune for review and approval that's where the communication falls in a heap

my mum and dad holiday in india 3 months every year.my dad went in one said they were rude .it was flea infested ,they had rats and their clothes were filthy .it would not even open up over here for health reasons.they are dirty filthy scumbags

I cannot believe that the garden gnome (Kean) has succeeded in getting his own man in there. This is reputedly the man he wanted to replace Paul Hunt. Wee Baldie is building a power base within the club. At this rate of going it will take military intervention to remove Kean.

The last sentence in my previous comment is tongue in cheek. However, I despair that Kean has now such a foothold in our club. He obviously is clinging on for dear life as he knows that if he leaves that he will never work in football again.

As your first job maybe you should in detail explain these claims from a poster on here last December... IMO THE POLICE SHOULD INVESTIGATE THESE CLAIMS ALONG WITH FIFA AND THE F.A!! Certainly explains a few things... "ROVERS THE TRUTH wrote... "I am very well connected with BRFC and have sat on this info for long  enough. You want to know whats going on at Ewood? Here it is... Steve KEAN (Minor 2nd team coach) is connected to a number of pretty serious Glasgow criminals who had a vast amount of money which required launde
ring  (2-3million).&
nbsp; As an employee of the club, KEAN was aware that ROVERS had been for sale for quite some time with very little serious interest from anyone. He knew the price and the money which would be required to purchase it.  He approached his management company KETARO (owned by ANDERSON) and put to him a business plan for the purchase of the club. This plan would give ANDERSON unofficial control of the club and enable him to 'legally'  perform the sort of transaction with existing and future players on his  books that got West Ham into trouble with the TEVEZ / MASSCARNO saga (the buying and selling of players being the only way to make money from a Premier League club). The consortium that KEAN suggested involved himself (representing the gangster money) being a shareholder and part owner in the little scheme. KENTRO unable to purchase a Premier League club to to league conflict rules, then scouted around emerging markets (India / China / Brazil) for a company to come in as the "official new owners" someone capable of satisfying the "fit and proper test" laid down by the Premier League.  VENKYS loved the idea, as they were already keen to attack the European market and expand  beyond India. The cost to VENKY'S for taking part in the venture was half the purchase price of 43million (This 20 million was set aside by VENKY'S anyway for marketing costs in breaking into the European market, so net coast to VENKY'S being NIL). The remainder of the cost was met by ANDERSON and a number of others in his syndicate  (including KEAN
).  The scheme was sold to all involve as being 'win win' as the purchase price was assured of being returned to all members of the syndicate by TV money, and, in worst case relegation parachute payment (which totaled coincidentally approx 43 million!). KEAN had one condition for his involvement, the removal of BIG SAM and his promotion to Club Manager. The removal of the established management  infrastructure was essential in helping the group keep the deal secret, hence JOHN WILLIAMS, TOM FINN and the rest of the board members were thanked for their services and shown the door.  The recent mortgage in Aug 2011 for 43million is assured against  the TV money for this year and any subsequent parachute payment from  relegation whether that come this year or in the future.  This money has been returned to all members of the syndicate to cover their initial stake (hence the secrecy), thus any money made from here on in by way of transfers, TV money, sale of the club being total profit to the group.  The Indians are basically passengers on this train, and as now they have  their money back, they are totally uninterested in the future of the  club. For them it remains what it always has been, a marketing tool.  ANDERSON is keen to continue to use the club as a feeder for his younger less established players, he makes money by legitamatly charging massiv
ely inflated agent fees for all players coming in and out, and in the event of a player making a big breakthrough, gains millions for the syndicate in the sell on fee. KEAN, well he's just living the dream, he would never have made a Premier League manager as long as he lived, the best he could aspire to was being someones No 2 and that dream was  5-10years away. The new improved deal recently signed by KEAN is in recognition and reward from all concerned as the others have all done very well out of the deal to date (he obviously had to be rewarded as well). He is the Manager and he's going nowhere, not because he's "un-sackable" but because he's delivered what he said and not withstanding - HE OWNS PART OF THE  CLUB (albeit via his gangster friends in Glasgow)! All of his little trips to INDIA are not about HIM answering to the INDIANS,  they are about HIM telling  THEM what to do, when to speak and what to say, all the stuff that needs to be said in person, at risk of emails or phone calls being recorded!  The whole thing would take a financial investigator years to uncover and is more or less impossible to trace as the paper trail all runs though VENKYS in INDIA! They have the club pretty much sewn up. The recent interest from the Middle East Quatari Petroleum, is of no interest to the syndicate as they only stand to gain a little over what they paid, the rewards from keeping the club are much more to them than that! If this deal ever came out, people will be going to jail, so don't expect it to anytime soon. Oh what fun to be a Rovers fan!"

Unlikely; make a great film tho'.

No, sorry, the truth may be even weirder; then again, who actually knows anything anymore?

Welcome to the parallel universe in which we find BRFC and the planet Venky.

Then you guys come along whilst he was crawling back onto shore, and stab him in the back. Just like steve kean Proper chaps.
I'm disgusted to breathe the same air.
C'mon Colin me an you'll kick some arse whilst this lot blub into there bovrils.

Big Sam is back
Steve (the man who cannot win football matches) Kean gets Blackburn Rovers relegated.
Sam Allardyce gets West Ham back into the premiership.
ENOUGH SAID.

KEAN TELLS LIES TO KEEP HIS JOB
Is there nothing Steve Kean will not sink to?
Under pressure Kean has told Rovers owner Mrs Anuradha Desai that he is key to keeping Junior Hoilett at Ewod Park.
Mrs Desai is anxious that Kean keeps the team together, goodness know why, they were dreadful.
There is not a ‘cat in hells’ chance of Kean keeping Hoilett. Hoilett is adamant to go and to go he will. I know that, Kean knows that, everyone knows that but Mrs Desai.
Kean will stoop to anything including lies to preserve 1.3 million per annum salary. Can know one at Venky’s see this?
His foul mouthed rant on You-Tube should have been enough in itself to sack him.
Who wants a uncouth, foul mouthed lout as manager of your football club. Apparently the deluded Mrs Desai does.
Neither I nor any of my family and friends will be sitting foot into Ewood Park whilst this lying, conniving, foul mouthed, uncouth lout is in charge.
What type of people does Mrs Desai employ in her company? What type of people does she think we are to except this man in charge of our football club; we are not poor uneducated, lower class peasants. We are intelligent hard working professional people who support our team.
Mrs Desai’s contempt for us is astounding. Our opinion’s count for nothing! Her contempt and dismissive attitude for Blackburn people borders on the worse type of racism. Even the large good and honest Indian community in Blackburn are embarrassed by her continued contempt towards us. She is dividing our multi-racial community by her arrogant attitude.
Blackburn Rovers are no more; they are a club heading for oblivion under Kean. We will plunge into the third tier of English football and out of sight forever.
I was ridiculed and abused when I forecast at the beginning of the season relegation from the Premiership was a certainty under Kean. Do not ignore me this time.
Kean has to go or it will rest in peace Blackburn Rovers.
Reg.
Footnote:
By retaining Kean Mrs Desai by association agrees with Kean’s comments that Sam Allardyce is a crook. I hope Big Sam sues the arse off both of them.

No, whilst he was "crawling back" he was busy embezzling 85 grand out of his retired neighbours. Not only that, but bragging about getting sloshed off the proceeds.

Now that might be fine in your eyes, whilst you're sat there in your Braveheart apple catchers but it's not the kind of neighbourly activity that sits well with me.

Why would we want to replace one alcoholic dirtbag scot with another....

What’s wrong with a hard drinking Scot? You say it as if drinking is a bad thing. I bet you all like the odd jar on a Friday after work.

Look at Fergie and what he has achieved in the game and then look how red his nose is. I’m not saying having a red hooter is the be all and end all in football management, but you have to admit it does go to show that you can drink AND be successful in the football game.

I say you should keep Kean – you lot just haven’t given him a chance yet. Instead of berating him, and calling him “Keanochio” and “Gollum” and "alkie". How is that constructive?

Get Dalglish and Souness in - working under Kean's guidance to help with the running of the team –I know Dalglish had a bad season but with Souness in attendance to help him I think it could work. Dalglish has a lot to offer to the game still and remember what he achieved with Backburn before.

Colin Hendry should get his chance as well in some capacity. He could train the defenders, Souness the midfielders and Dalglish could train the creative midfielders and strikers. One exercise I thought might work is the old “keepie uppy” with cans of beer. First with empty cans but then to raise the skill level with full cans. The first man to drop the can has to open it fizzing into an eyeball of his choosing and then down it in one. They’ll soon learn not to drop the can and pretty soon you’ll have a team that can perform keepie uppy with a full beer can better than any team in the land. Unless Arsenal do a similar thing in which case you’ll have the second best team in the land.

But getting back to Scotsmen – which you lot seem to have some kind of problem with. How about getting Gordon Strachan to work underneath Kean in some capacity as well as Souness and Dalglish and Hendry? I’m sure he will offer a level of ginger truculence which will challenge the Venky’s dominance. Perhaps Kean’s weakness – and this is his only weakness in a strong skill set, is that he is perhaps unwilling to tell it to the Venky’s straight. This probably comes out of good manners and respect, the mark of a good upbringing.

Also, I think they could establish a Boot Room, you know, the Boot Room that worked so well at Anfield? Where they would sit and drink whiskey and discuss tactics. Souey, Kean, Hendry and Strachan could prosper in this sort of environment.

I would draw the line at Alan Hansen though. I just don’t think the man has got it in him. He’d never last 2 weeks at the club because although he’s Scottish he doesn’t have the character of a real Scotsman. He isn't really a "man" at all, as I would define one.

They could put a dart board in the Boot room and get Jockey Wilson to join them. I know Jockey’s become withdrawn from society recently , but maybe they could put a bed in the Boot Room and let jockey live and sleep there so when they come down after a home victory to celebrate with a few pints o’ heavy, Jockey would already be waiting for them to play darts, with a smile and a toothless grin with a bottle of Bells whiskey in his hand. It’d be great for morale.

Or would you rather have the namby pamby politically correct Gary Lineker in charge? You probably would.

You see I get the impression with you Lancastrians that you’ve allowed yourselves to be walked all over by these new owners. This would never happen in Scotland.

Or indeed in Yorkshire. If this were Leeds, if the supporters wanted the owners out they would darned well drum them out of town. They’ve got that bit more fire and passion in them have the Yorkshire folk. And they don’t allow people to take liberties.

Blackburn supporters take note.

Jocky would go straight on the board, considering he's dead; it does seem to be a pre-requisite for anyone in "authority" at the club though.

From the neck up anyway.

You can remove your tongue from inside your cheek now, by the way.

There is even less news from Ewood since Agnew appointed.

What the. Is going on?

Not denying he's "ten times the man Kean is", but he's not the right man for the job, simple as that, if that's backstabbing someone then so be it.

I think you need to take the Colin Hendry tinted spectacles off and take a look at the bigger picture.

Life Long North Ender now a Life Long Rovers Fan? Which one are you Mr Agnew?
He will fit in well with all the others at the club who can't tell the truth.

If Hendry got a job at Rovers then the media circus would be rubbing there hands,due to his actions in ripping of lots of so called "friends". He would have to go almost as soon as he would get the job. Also he didn't turn to alcohol after the death of his wife as he had been a raging alcoholic years before that. I remember when he was injured years back, that he was driven round pubs in the back of a van cos he was that drunk he couldn't get in the passenger-side door.

Paul if you are a true fan can you tell the Venkys should Kean be kept on in any capacity I will not step foot on Ewood Park, and again as a fan you should know why. In case you have forgotten Mr Kean has brought the club into disrepute with his comments to a fellow manager in a drunken rant, he has been convicted of drunk driving and a small matter of he has got my club relegated with his OWN team, untill this message gets across to the owners I feel a lot of fans will do the same as me and STAY away!! As the new press officer please pass this message on, thank you.

Mr Agnew

Keans plan is coming together Agnew on the board expect Colin Hendry as manager next,Kean has got Mrs D in his pocket.

How long would Colin Hendry last as manager? The first time he said no to Venkeys he would be out on his backside, as would any manager who said no. I think this could be why they are keeping Kean, they can't find a yes man to replace him.

Colin Hendry the man who let Jack Walker down after signing a new contract and then asking for a transfer after Rangers came in for him. Judas!!!!
