    Mr Agnew - still no real news about the debacle you are now presiding over at our once proud club?

    No news about how you are going to address the multitude of issues the club faces.

    No news about acting on the overwhelming view of the majority of supporters that they do not want Mr Kean - nor Mr Hendry - to have any future role in the running of the club.

    No news on how you are going to start to rebuild the relationships between supporters and the club.

    No news on the plans for probably the most difficult season the Rovers have had to face for many years.

    No news on how you are going to cope with the probable mass exodus of players - never mind supporters - who we believe have absolutely no confidence in Mr Kean or the way in which the club is managed.

    No news on the future investment in the club by the Venkys - or whoever it is who actually owns our club.

    No news on how you are positioned to respond to the probable enquiry by the Premier League.

    No news on the clubs response to the legal action by Mr Allardyce.

    The probability is that you and your cohort are probably working on a grand relaunch plan that is aimed at convincing us -

    - that Mr Kean and the Venkys are actually very nice, reliable types who have nothing but the clubs best interest at heart.

    - lets all start again, Forget about the past. Yes, mistakes have been made but we face an exciting future and - if we pull together - we will have many enjoyable seasons together etc etc.

    - that a new season ticket package will be simply too good to resist etc. etc.

    - plus lots of other platitudes which the majority of supporters will see through immediately.

    Your entire plan should start with an absolute 'given' for it to have any kind of chance in succeeding - and that 'given' is to get rid of Mr Kean because I for one will not be spending one penny more until he goes and the mess he and the 'others' have created is cleared up.

    Remember Mr Agnew - do not patronise us. First step, focus on getting rid of that so called manager mate of yours.
    He's on holiday
    On holiday!

    With all this mess to sort out!

    Unbelievable!"

Scouts zone in on Euro 2012 to watch Blackburn Rovers starlet Olsson

A HOST of scouts from around the world will be in Ukraine this evening with their eyes on Blackburn Rovers’ Martin Olsson – as the race to sign the Swede hots up.

The 24-year-old is expected to feature in Sweden’s Euro 2012 opener against co hosts Ukraine in Kiev and will know his hopes of a move away from Ewood will rest on impressing on the world stage.

Olsson’s agent put clubs on alert last week when he told the Lancashire Telegraph staying at Ewood was “not an option” for his client next season, with considerable interest understood to have followed.

Already wih a number of admirers, it is understood several more Turkish and Italian clubs have joined the chase over the past seven days– as well as a few more Premier League suitors.

European Champions Chelsea are one of those top clubs who will have a representative watching Olsson this evening as they continue to monitor his progress with interest.

Olsson’s domestic future will have to wait until Sweden’s European Championship campaign is concluded, although his representatives will continue talks with Rovers.

While Olsson has his his heart set on quitting East Lancashire this summer, after last season’s Premier League relegation, Rovers are ready to play hard ball to get the right price for him.

Under fire owners Venky’s have history of holding out for big money prices during their disastrous Rovers regime and are ready to do similar with Olsson.

With the player still under contract until 2015, Venky’s will be looking for well in excess of £5million to tempt them into considering a sale.

Venky’s have already been involved in long running transfer sagas over the big money moves of Chris Samba, Phil Jones and Nikola Kalinic and will hold firm in the search for the right price for Olsson.

Sources close to the Swede though are adamant his Rovers career will end this summer as the club contemplate life in the Championship.

They say Olsson will consider his options once the tournament is over as he stays fully focused on helping Sweden progress through a tough group.

Olsson is Rovers’ only player competing in the championships, although their former defender Phil Jones should take his place on the substitutes bench for England against France today.

Jones’ former Rovers academy coach, said: “I hope Phil gets some action in the tournament. It has been a great 18 months for him and this would be the fitting way to cap it all.”
