    Lets have a whip round and set "Killer Keeley" on Kean - hey that would be KKK! . Latest rumour from someone who knows an establised player is that Venky's turned down Walker trust offer to buy yhe club back for the same money. Venky's refused becasuse they believe they have also written off all the debt. . If its true someone needs to point out to Venky's that they have paid off that debt by selling the best assets of the club which has got us relegated and so the club is worth considerably less. Take the Walker Trust offer if it is true. . They are said to be wating for the final payment from the Premier League due later this month and then they may thankfully sod off having pocketed it. At this point I would accept any scenario that gets rid of them and has in position an owner who will trade as a break-even now profir making business - which means the Walker trust or BRSIT. . 34th......
    I was told the same from a very good source but I kept it to myself because I am not prepared to reveal the source.Believe me it was an excellent source as good as it gets.
    No smoke without fire, Mr.Eddie :)

    We'll have our Rovers back sooner rather than later until then the stance remains.

    Is it me or do these Dingles not understand 34 years. You would think head in the sand would be the only option for them - but they are a bit dim!

    Morning Derek. I have just seen woody in church were he was busy keeping out of your way. what a lovely service it was, anyway he said i had to tell you that he is ignoring your emails as he finds you just a tad on the boring side. and as for your recruiting protesters to stand outside Brockhall all day with your kean out banner in the pixxing rain.

    well woody has had enough and wants out, he is converting to a claret were fans go to watch football, not to watch you and a load of other knuckle- draggers spew your hatred out on our hero steve kean.
    I wonder why steve kean is your hero mr dingle.For me and many other normal football it's a very sad time when burnley's only glory times are to laugh at rover's bad times.One day maybe you might have some real glory like we have had(i.e the premiership title and yes bought by a local hard working englishman with a real passion for his team and not a foreigner) instead of relying on the carling cup"

Keeley: Don't have a pop at Rovers fans

GLENN Keeley has hit out at criticism of Blackburn Rovers supporters after insisting their love for the club has left them ‘torn’ over how to deal with unhappiness at the Venky’s regime.

Keeley represented Rovers for 11 years between 1976 and 1987 and has joined many fans by expressing his deep concern about the current direction the club is heading in under Venky’s following relegation from the Premier League.

Supporters were often chastised by pundits during the 2011/12 campaign because of their protests against boss Steve Kean and the club’s owners, while many fans are now reluctant to renew their season tickets for next season because of a lack of change at Ewood Park.

But Keeley believes Rovers supporters have been left in a no win position and that their protests have simply been because of their deep affection for the club.

“I’ve been really concerned about the bad press that the people of Blackburn have got because of their protests but what do you do?” said the 57-year-old former centre half.

“I really don’t understand why the national media have been so hard on the people of Blackburn.

“This is an awful situation for Blackburn Rovers as a club. But more than that this club is about the supporters and it’s a terrible situation that the community, through no fault of their own, find themselves in.

“How do you get people’s attentions? When you see things that are clearly wrong going on in front of your eyes week in week out, no-one wants to advise the supporters not to turn up or not to buy a season ticket. No-one wants that.

“But at the same time they are torn with a love, it’s like having your child as a drug addict or something, you’re torn between that love and yet on the other side of it you think, ‘This is wrong’.

“I do feel that a lot of the fans are in an awful position.

“How do you make your feelings known? What do you do, protest or stay away? I don’t know.”

Keeley offered his support to the Blackburn Rovers Supporters Investment Trust at a recent open meeting and, even if the group’s hopes of raising £10m and then launching a takeover cannot be realised, he believes highlighting the fans’ current predicament remains important.

“I don’t know if the trust can raise enough money or bring Venky’s to the table, for them this is peanuts,” he said.

“However will it raise the profile of the issue and keep it in the public eye? Yes. Do we need to do that? Yes.

“I know this has got the support of a lot more people than you would realise.

“I know because I talk to friends who are ex-players. It is difficult for some people because of the positions they are in to put their head above the parapet, I do understand that.

“But it’s difficult to see the sense in a lot of things that have happened in the last year and a half.”
