Excellent signing ??

A "coup for Rovers ??"

No doubt he is a talented player BUT he is 35 years old, injury prone, not very mobile and I doubt he and Dunn can play in the same team (they are too similar types of player).
.
Where is the logic of firing off experienced older players on big wages (Nelson, Salgado, Roberts etc) just to replace them with, err, old experienced players on big wages ??
.
Also Best will be a VERY GOOD signing but don't get carried away.
.
The lunes from pune know that we will have a FULL team to replace -

Hoilett
Nzonzi
Yak
Dann
Robinson
Givet
Formica

will ALL definately leave
.
And -

Vukevic
Hanley
Rochina

may also depart (I'm sure they all would if they could).

So a huge rebuilding job to be done.

Roll on 18th August I just can't wait

Don't be stupid - Shabby Shiek said only YESTERDAY that ANY player who wants to go CAN GO - so ALL of those players listed WILL GO.
.
As for Venkys having put money into Rovers - are you JA in disguise ?? - the club has a £20m relegation black hole to fill (how naive are some Rovers fans ??).
.
As for Neslon "struggling to find a club" - shows you know nothing about football - he signed for QPR on Monday and will be playing in a higher division than us.
.
You obviously are either a Venky appologist or know nothing about what is happening down at Ewood - the vast majority of senior pros HATE Kean (Robinson, Givet Nzonzi, Rochina especially) - so why would they want to stay at Rovers in the championship when they could all play in a higher division, possibly on more money ??
.
As for Scott Dann - Rovers have been tryig to off-load him since last Dec (they were talking to AV in Jan) trying to get them to have him as they can't really afford the repayments on him and have realised that actually, he's crap anyway !

You don't even know who our manager is you Venky appologist - he is called Steve Kean NOT Keane you muppet.

Any fans that GIVE MONEY to these criminals are a DISGRACE - you should be ASHAMED of yourself for funding these people - you are NOT a fan of BRFC you are simply proping up a corupt regime that hides behind the name of BRFC - SHAME ON YOU !!!

Agreed. Being negative for the sake of it is pointless, and Best looks like he's on the way and he will prove to be a real coup I believe.

I'm going to say, as unpopular as it might seem, I am glad there at least appears to be a game plan of sorts and new names are starting to appear on the roster, whether we like them or not. Partly because deep down I was concerned that even if we managed to keep the squad together (minus Hoilett of course), we were going to struggle in the Championships. I am starting to get a bit more excited about the new season, with a few more signings we might actually have a competitive squad. As much as I dont care for baldy, I am in interested to see whether

a) he proves he can manage if he isnt restricted, as seemed to be the case.

And

b) If he is as useless as we all believe him to be, how long it takes before Shebby has no choice but to admit he was right the first time round and recommend his dismissal.

One way or another, I think the manager issue will come to a head so it definitely looks like it will be an interesting season at Ewood. But I'm still going to wait till July before renewing methinks and wait for a few more signings.

One signing and that's a 35 year old!
Just 7 more players of a decent standard and I will defiantly start watching the rovers AWAY not at Ewood, starting at Accy Stanley where I encourage all fans to go, we won't be searched and we can give Kean hell for 90 minutes.

Kean Out

Kean out

all you do J.C is assume or guess then pretend you know facts(which you don't) also you are very aggresive when you put your points across(which doesn't make you tough or correct), the point i was making if you care to listen is murphy has only come to rovers because he is on a bumper wage which 90% of the championship team would and could not pay which for me shows slight ambition from venky's not matter what.Teams like burnley or palace would love to have a midfielder like murphy(ask them because i have), and to accuse me of knowing nothing about football when you don't have a clue who i am is idioctic.Also reference to scott dann people who know football would also know that scott dann is a good player who has had a bad season.How do you know they can't afford repayments on him?Who has realised he's crap?I suppose your one of those who automatically compares us to leeds and portmouth and we will finish bottom aswel eh!How do you know all those contracted players will leave?Stop quoting things you know nothing about, your just guessing and assuming

Murphy is a decent signing for the championship...seems he has been more influential at Fulham than I thought as his departure from Fulham is seen as a surprise and a big loss by most Fulham fans.

But more interesting is the move for Leon Best. Now if that comes off then that would be a good signing and Rovers are actually putting a good deal in place (wont that make a change) according to Geordie sources.....

Newcastle United Blog said today:

News in the Evening Chronicle this morning from Lee Ryder that Best’s compensation will increase, if he plays well and scores goals next season, and helps get Blackburn back to the Premier League at the first attempt.

Well well have our owners finally realized how to run a footballing business..?
That’s a wise financial move by Blackburn, because if they do manage to get straight back up to the Premier League, they will have enough money to pay out the bonuses, and if they don’t get back first time, they will have no no bonuses to pay out.

At least Murphy is a footballer - he can think and pass and lets the ball do the work. So at 35, he can still kick a ball rather than try to snail past somebody like Dunn and Pedersen.

I am not blown away by him signing but if more decent signings come in it is time to get behind the Rovers - not Venky's, not Kean, but behind our club. All these constant whingers are boring , repetitive and do fcuk all good.

Fot those who don't turn up to watch - fair does - but for those individuals who don't keep an eye on Rovers results during the season - in my book you were obviously never much of a Rover anyway.

Your hero Shebby has already condemmed Kean last season. Do you like lies?
These lot won't stand in front of you with sashes on saying they are crooks, you have to work it out for yourself, Keep up.

Why is he my hero?

He condemned him last season, hes going to have to pray long and hard hes not forced to do it again this season or else he really will start having to come up with creative reasons why it wasnt Kean's fault... Although Kean IS a master in the arts..

I firmly believe that the truth will eventually come out and there will be a few people jailed as a result.

at what point do some of you on here feel it would be ok for people tpo start sounding positive? yes, we are all well aware that the venky reign has been poor and we more than likely have a sub standard manager. however, this article is about a signing and i for one am happy to see a player like muprhy arrive. do i see it as confirmation that things have changed for the better - no. but on the other hand i don't see the point of saying it can't be viewed as exciting news because venky's have so much ground to make up. it is a positive step so surely, given what we've had to put up with for so long, we can be allowed to express some happiness without being hounded for being 'venky apologists'. for goodness' sake get some perspective.
i would have been happy to see us sign murphy if we were in the prem. we are paying decent wages by all accounts and they are focused on the player contributing to a successful season too, which hints at ambition. to claim that we will only pay these because of a future pot of cash from player sales is hugely flawed. of course some of these players may leave, but some people on here seem to believe they know exactly who and for exactly how much. and the claims that players will leave because they hate kean are sadly lacking in fact, moderation and undrstanding of reality.
we have signed someone. a player that is not startling, but certainly good enough to contribute to our efforts in the coming year. we have not lost anyone yet who is not contractually allowed to go. so please let us have a moment of enjoyment in what has been the gloomiest of times.

I agree completely and would add that I'm now wondering whether Murphy has some connection with thiS rotten lot. Can't believe people think he is a good signing. He's too old for goodness. We have lost other older players. None of it makes sense. Murphy slagged Rovers off yet he is h to take our money. Some people on here are prime fodder for Venkys scam. They keep taking the bait just because its preswnted in a different way

One way or another, I think the manager issue will come to a head so it definitely looks like it will be an interesting season at Ewood. But I'm still going to wait till July before renewing methinks and wait for a few more signings.

Your hero Shebby has already condemmed Kean last season. Do you like lies?
These lot won't stand in front of you with sashes on saying they are crooks, you have to work it out for yourself, Keep up.

Why is he my hero?

He condemned him last season, hes going to have to pray long and hard hes not forced to do it again this season or else he really will start having to come up with creative reasons why it wasnt Kean's fault... Although Kean IS a master in the arts..

He's just taken top spot,with egg on face, and you follow his words, and wait for a double jeopardy. How many times does he have to say Kean is crap before it becomes official to you? keep up.

Keep up? Dont be so darn condescending. Just because not everyone starts foaming at the mouth at the idea of paying peanuts for a football club and having no chance of affording to run it, but preferring it to drop down the leagues or worse, run into administration than hoping the current owners get a clue.

Roll on 18th August I just can't wait

Agreed. Being negative for the sake of it is pointless, and Best looks like he's on the way and he will prove to be a real coup I believe.

I'm going to say, as unpopular as it might seem, I am glad there at least appears to be a game plan of sorts and new names are starting to appear on the roster, whether we like them or not. Partly because deep down I was concerned that even if we managed to keep the squad together (minus Hoilett of course), we were going to struggle in the Championships. I am starting to get a bit more excited about the new season, with a few more signings we might actually have a competitive squad. As much as I dont care for baldy, I am in interested to see whether

a) he proves he can manage if he isnt restricted, as seemed to be the case.

And

b) If he is as useless as we all believe him to be, how long it takes before Shebby has no choice but to admit he was right the first time round and recommend his dismissal.

what has that got to do with following a public liar and hoping for an all change? you really do need to keep up .

i would have been happy to see us sign murphy if we were in the prem. we are paying decent wages by all accounts and they are focused on the player contributing to a successful season too, which hints at ambition. to claim that we will only pay these because of a future pot of cash from player sales is hugely flawed. of course some of these players may leave, but some people on here seem to believe they know exactly who and for exactly how much. and the claims that players will leave because they hate kean are sadly lacking in fact, moderation and undrstanding of reality.
we have signed someone. a player that is not startling, but certainly good enough to contribute to our efforts in the coming year. we have not lost anyone yet who is not contractually allowed to go. so please let us have a moment of enjoyment in what has been the gloomiest of times.

Well said J.C.
they will sign a couple of players at most - hope the fans buy season tickets on the back of it and then have a fire sale of 7 or 8 of the existing team.
The club will continue to decline under Venky's ownership. If they were serious about restoring Rovers to the Premier league the very first thing that should have happened was the removal of Kean and the installing of a proven manager. They haven't done this and that is the clearest signal as to their abilities and desire for the club.
I welcome new signings but the bigger strategic picture needs to be considered by some on this message board.

You are completely forgetting the crucial point. Our club is still owned and being run by incompetent and probably corrupt individuals. They have reduced our club and fans to a circus, embarrassing farce, they have communicated either nothing, trivia or lies, they completely duped the lot of us and are still doing it. At what point would you start to be positive about any other deceitful, disrespectful, disgraceful group of individuals? Signing Big Mouth Danny Murphy in my books does not make these people any more honest, trustworthy or anything else some of you are choosing to believe. Weve had two seasons of shambles and there is no reason to think this wont be a third. You lot are so gullible. Absolute gems for the likes of Venkys

I firmly believe that the truth will eventually come out and there will be a few people jailed as a result. Why isn't some investigative journalist digging into this cesspit, remember the documentry involving Bryan Robson where Asian criminals were looking into buying english football clubs, well this is one.

Hoilett
Nzonzi
Yak
Dann
Robinson

will ALL definately leave

And -

Vukevic
Hanley
Rochina

may also depart (I'm sure they all would if they could).

So a huge rebuilding job to be done.

there is no chance half of them players you mentioned will be allowed to leave also venky's are i think are trying to get back up and HAVE got cash to spend unlike brsit just wish we had a proper manager and also salgado and nelson's legs are gone and will have no club next season,roberts should have been kept

Don't be stupid - Shabby Shiek said only YESTERDAY that ANY player who wants to go CAN GO - so ALL of those players listed WILL GO.
.
As for Venkys having put money into Rovers - are you JA in disguise ?? - the club has a £20m relegation black hole to fill (how naive are some Rovers fans ??).
.
As for Neslon "struggling to find a club" - shows you know nothing about football - he signed for QPR on Monday and will be playing in a higher division than us.
.
You obviously are either a Venky appologist or know nothing about what is happening down at Ewood - the vast majority of senior pros HATE Kean (Robinson, Givet Nzonzi, Rochina especially) - so why would they want to stay at Rovers in the championship when they could all play in a higher division, possibly on more money ??
.
As for Scott Dann - Rovers have been tryig to off-load him since last Dec (they were talking to AV in Jan) trying to get them to have him as they can't really afford the repayments on him and have realised that actually, he's crap anyway !

all you do J.C is assume or guess then pretend you know facts(which you don't) also you are very aggresive when you put your points across(which doesn't make you tough or correct), the point i was making if you care to listen is murphy has only come to rovers because he is on a bumper wage which 90% of the championship team would and could not pay which for me shows slight ambition from venky's not matter what.Teams like burnley or palace would love to have a midfielder like murphy(ask them because i have), and to accuse me of knowing nothing about football when you don't have a clue who i am is idioctic.Also reference to scott dann people who know football would also know that scott dann is a good player who has had a bad season.How do you know they can't afford repayments on him?Who has realised he's crap?I suppose your one of those who automatically compares us to leeds and portmouth and we will finish bottom aswel eh!How do you know all those contracted players will leave?Stop quoting things you know nothing about, your just guessing and assuming

Givet82 be careful having a go at JC Rishton, he went crying to the LET the other day trying to get some bloke kicked off the site when he didn't like what he had to say. If you rub him up the wrong way his dummy will come out again!

Wow the Venky appologists ARE out in force.

Who needs Dingles when when have so much SCUM of our own ??
.
No wonder Venkys and Kean etc chose to buy our club - what other club has so many scum supporters as ours.
.
I wonder why good people like Wayne Wild, Glen and Simon bother to try and save our club from owners who are killing us off when so many of you seem so happy with them as owners ??

Well said J.C.
they will sign a couple of players at most - hope the fans buy season tickets on the back of it and then have a fire sale of 7 or 8 of the existing team.
The club will continue to decline under Venky's ownership. If they were serious about restoring Rovers to the Premier league the very first thing that should have happened was the removal of Kean and the installing of a proven manager. They haven't done this and that is the clearest signal as to their abilities and desire for the club.
I welcome new signings but the bigger strategic picture needs to be considered by some on this message board.

well said?What is calling rovers fans scum??

Agreed. Being negative for the sake of it is pointless, and Best looks like he's on the way and he will prove to be a real coup I believe.

I'm going to say, as unpopular as it might seem, I am glad there at least appears to be a game plan of sorts and new names are starting to appear on the roster, whether we like them or not. Partly because deep down I was concerned that even if we managed to keep the squad together (minus Hoilett of course), we were going to struggle in the Championships. I am starting to get a bit more excited about the new season, with a few more signings we might actually have a competitive squad. As much as I dont care for baldy, I am in interested to see whether

a) he proves he can manage if he isnt restricted, as seemed to be the case.

And

b) If he is as useless as we all believe him to be, how long it takes before Shebby has no choice but to admit he was right the first time round and recommend his dismissal.

One way or another, I think the manager issue will come to a head so it definitely looks like it will be an interesting season at Ewood. But I'm still going to wait till July before renewing methinks and wait for a few more signings.

I have read many comments from fans stating their reasons for not renewing their STs, not going to Ewood Park, supporting the protests against Kean and the Venkys. Etc. but I have yet to read the reasons for the fans that have renewed and do intend to go to Ewood to watch the team. Their only comments seem to be I am supporting the team! Unfortunately supporting the team is also giving succour to the Venkys and Kean and now Shabby. Perhaps they could enlighten us as to how they think their actions will lead to the "team" prospering and the club surviving? I appreciate their right to take whatever action they see fit but I would urge them to think again. I most also isolate myself and any other right minded fan from any of the derogatory statements seemingly issued by so called Rovers fans calling them scum. We can expect that sort of statement from a Dingle but not from other Rovers fans. Please desist, we are all in this together.

at what point do some of you on here feel it would be ok for people tpo start sounding positive? yes, we are all well aware that the venky reign has been poor and we more than likely have a sub standard manager. however, this article is about a signing and i for one am happy to see a player like muprhy arrive. do i see it as confirmation that things have changed for the better - no. but on the other hand i don't see the point of saying it can't be viewed as exciting news because venky's have so much ground to make up. it is a positive step so surely, given what we've had to put up with for so long, we can be allowed to express some happiness without being hounded for being 'venky apologists'. for goodness' sake get some perspective.
i would have been happy to see us sign murphy if we were in the prem. we are paying decent wages by all accounts and they are focused on the player contributing to a successful season too, which hints at ambition. to claim that we will only pay these because of a future pot of cash from player sales is hugely flawed. of course some of these players may leave, but some people on here seem to believe they know exactly who and for exactly how much. and the claims that players will leave because they hate kean are sadly lacking in fact, moderation and undrstanding of reality.
we have signed someone. a player that is not startling, but certainly good enough to contribute to our efforts in the coming year. we have not lost anyone yet who is not contractually allowed to go. so please let us have a moment of enjoyment in what has been the gloomiest of times.

You are completely forgetting the crucial point. Our club is still owned and being run by incompetent and probably corrupt individuals. They have reduced our club and fans to a circus, embarrassing farce, they have communicated either nothing, trivia or lies, they completely duped the lot of us and are still doing it. At what point would you start to be positive about any other deceitful, disrespectful, disgraceful group of individuals? Signing Big Mouth Danny Murphy in my books does not make these people any more honest, trustworthy or anything else some of you are choosing to believe. Weve had two seasons of shambles and there is no reason to think this wont be a third. You lot are so gullible. Absolute gems for the likes of Venkys

incompetent, yes. i'll agree with that. however you will need to come up with some evidence to back up allegations of corruption and i have yet to see anything that stands up.
i don't feel i am forgetting the point that things have been poor. in fact, i stated that in my post. however, i do feel that this is a positive move and i would like to treat it as such, rather than contributing to yet aonther thread's decent into hurlling abuse at each other.
venky's, kean and all have a way to go before anyone feels wrongs have been addressed, but where i differ from most is that i don't view this as being abolute, one way or the other. if things are put right, then all is well in my book. if it ever is proven to have been a deliberate act of disassembly of our club, then i will draw the line, but whilst it appears people are attmepting to make improvments then great, i consider that to be positive news.

hate kean, detest venky's, but no matter how much we hate them, not buying season tickets is not the way forward, look at the figures its peanuts, lestrez is right, lets get behind the boys for the start of the season.

Yes, I do realise that calling some fellow fans "scum" is strong language but I'm sorry - make no mistake about it - we are fighting for our LIVES here.
,
In 137 years our club has NEVER come under such a strong, sustained, attack in its very existance - yet some fans either STILL don't get it or just DON'T CARE (thats why I justify the wording) - they think that its still OK to give money to these CRIMINALS who are out to destroy our club - well it isnt !! (and please don't give me this pathetic "I'm going down to support the boys, not SK or Venkys" arguament cos it just won't wash).
.
Anyone and everyone who buys a ST/Merchandise/corpo

rate sponsership is a VENKY appeaser and is helping to DESTROY something they claim to love.
.
I can guarantee that SK/Venkys will announce that the 6,000 APPEASERS that buy ST this season are therefore agreeing with Venkys policy to "wipe the slate clean" and "agree with keeping SK as manager" - these people are masters of PR.
.
Don't be so SELFISH - Venkys think you are less than NOTHING, we are all excrement on their shoes to them - these people DO NOT deserve to have anything to do with our great club - I'm sure we all can agree with statement so why do some of you out there still appease them with your support ??

Anyone know if Wayne Wild and Ian Battersby will be attending next season?If so,are they scum?
Will Simon be doing work at Ewood for Radio Lancs?
Will the legend have to swap his Garner 10 shirt for Garner scum?
Heard Glen say on Talksport that he had got his season ticket early,where that leaves us is anyone's guess.
Will the voice of Rovers,super Robbie Savage,refuse to do Ewood work for Radio 5?
Will Tugay turn up again to do the half-time draw and if he does,what does that make him?
Just a few to be getting on with.

Over opinionated know it all clown.

Wow the Venky appologists ARE out in force.
.
Who needs Dingles when when have so much SCUM of our own ??
.
No wonder Venkys and Kean etc chose to buy our club - what other club has so many scum supporters as ours.
.
I wonder why good people like Wayne Wild, Glen and Simon bother to try and save our club from owners who are killing us off when so many of you seem so happy with them as owners ??

You're out of order J.C., I know you feel very passionate about this but calling fellow Rovers fans scum isn't on.

Yes, I do realise that calling some fellow fans "scum" is strong language but I'm sorry - make no mistake about it - we are fighting for our LIVES here.
,
In 137 years our club has NEVER come under such a strong, sustained, attack in its very existance - yet some fans either STILL don't get it or just DON'T CARE (thats why I justify the wording) - they think that its still OK to give money to these CRIMINALS who are out to destroy our club - well it isnt !! (and please don't give me this pathetic "I'm going down to support the boys, not SK or Venkys" arguament cos it just won't wash).
.
Anyone and everyone who buys a ST/Merchandise/corpo


rate sponsership is a VENKY appeaser and is helping to DESTROY something they claim to love.
.
I can guarantee that SK/Venkys will announce that the 6,000 APPEASERS that buy ST this season are therefore agreeing with Venkys policy to "wipe the slate clean" and "agree with keeping SK as manager" - these people are masters of PR.
.
Don't be so SELFISH - Venkys think you are less than NOTHING, we are all excrement on their shoes to them - these people DO NOT deserve to have anything to do with our great club - I'm sure we all can agree with statement so why do some of you out there still appease them with your support ??

This is nothing new,yet our biggest home gate was just 47 days ago.
Why,when everyone knew what was happening,did they all keep turning up.
Did you keep turning up?
Why is it right to boycott now,just because you say so?
There were 7000 walk up for that game who all bought a ticket more recently than i bought my season ticket,i make that 13000 appeasers.
No doubt some will argue that they only carried on going because their ticket was already paid for.Well,there you go,that's commitment for you.

Well said J.C.
they will sign a couple of players at most - hope the fans buy season tickets on the back of it and then have a fire sale of 7 or 8 of the existing team.
The club will continue to decline under Venky's ownership. If they were serious about restoring Rovers to the Premier league the very first thing that should have happened was the removal of Kean and the installing of a proven manager. They haven't done this and that is the clearest signal as to their abilities and desire for the club.
I welcome new signings but the bigger strategic picture needs to be considered by some on this message board.

well said?What is calling rovers fans scum??

Anyone know if Wayne Wild and Ian Battersby will be attending next season?If so,are they scum?
Will Simon be doing work at Ewood for Radio Lancs?
Will the legend have to swap his Garner 10 shirt for Garner scum?
Heard Glen say on Talksport that he had got his season ticket early,where that leaves us is anyone's guess.
Will the voice of Rovers,super Robbie Savage,refuse to do Ewood work for Radio 5?
Will Tugay turn up again to do the half-time draw and if he does,what does that make him?
Just a few to be getting on with.

Maybe smellthecrappy can tell us.

Also whilst hes at it he can also explain if the LET, the players who continue to draw wages are all scum for not deserting the ship.

Seems like everyone who will attend the games this season are SCuM except the good people who brought you "rather go into administration than have Venky's as owners".

Go figure.

Enough of the 'clean slate' plea / argument. Both Shebby Singh and Danny Murphy said negative things about Blackburn Rovers, especially in regards to the management of the club, yet both of them have done a complete verbal turnaround, and are now on the payroll of Blackburn Rovers . If these are clear signs of anything, it would be clear signs of hypocrisy.

at what point do some of you on here feel it would be ok for people tpo start sounding positive? yes, we are all well aware that the venky reign has been poor and we more than likely have a sub standard manager. however, this article is about a signing and i for one am happy to see a player like muprhy arrive. do i see it as confirmation that things have changed for the better - no. but on the other hand i don't see the point of saying it can't be viewed as exciting news because venky's have so much ground to make up. it is a positive step so surely, given what we've had to put up with for so long, we can be allowed to express some happiness without being hounded for being 'venky apologists'. for goodness' sake get some perspective.
i would have been happy to see us sign murphy if we were in the prem. we are paying decent wages by all accounts and they are focused on the player contributing to a successful season too, which hints at ambition. to claim that we will only pay these because of a future pot of cash from player sales is hugely flawed. of course some of these players may leave, but some people on here seem to believe they know exactly who and for exactly how much. and the claims that players will leave because they hate kean are sadly lacking in fact, moderation and undrstanding of reality.
we have signed someone. a player that is not startling, but certainly good enough to contribute to our efforts in the coming year. we have not lost anyone yet who is not contractually allowed to go. so please let us have a moment of enjoyment in what has been the gloomiest of times.

Hay up, the happy clappy brigade are back.
.
Wow are we back in the big time now - signing a 35 year old has been (good player in his day) who slagged our club off to the entire country - is he going to apologise for those slanderous comments he made about us ??
.
Have we fallen so low under Venkys and Kean that the signing of a 35 year old on a freebie is to be met by street parties and flag waving by some Rovers fans.
.
Next you'll be telling us all that this signing justifies you going to renew your season ticket - or have you already bought yours ??
.
Don't forget that for every Murphy and Best these asset strippers sign they are going to sell at least 2 decent players (ie 4 signings in and 8 senior first teamers out).
.
Thats not "rebuilding a team" thats "asset stripping" - they have done it in the previous 2 transfer windows they've been in charge and they will do it in this one (some people have very short memories).
.
The only thing these "criminals" have learned is to make the signings FIRST (so the happy clappy brigade can pretend everying is about to turn around) and then sell the cream of our squad later in the transfer window.
.
Wake up - try looking at the WHOLE PICTURE, not just the little bit that makes you pretend that everything is going to be okay under Mrs D and SK - IT ISNT !!

RUBBISH - Longterm NO business can thrive without the support of its customers (ask any businessman). . Also you are incorrect in saying "it is an insignificant amount". . Rovers turnover last season was about £50m. . If there is a 9000 drop in ST renewals, large drop in merchandise purchases and we understand there has been a huge drop off of corperate sponsorship (box renewals etc) - this could lead to Venkys missing out on about £4-5m in lost revenue - hardly a small amount (approx 10% of total turnover from last season, and probably 15% of this seasons total revenue). . That it why it is VERY important NOT to give these criminal owners ANY money - the second reason is that it also gives them a clear message - WE WILL NOT ALLOW OUR CLUB TO BE DESTROYED LIKE THIS - every selfish appeaser that gives them (Venkys) their support and money dilutes this message and therefore DAMAGES OUR GREAT CLUB. . Please DO NOT be a shelfish, spineless appeaser and renew your ST - be a true fan (I've had a ST for the last 30 seasons) and WITHOLD YOUR MONEY (it won't be forever and you can still support the players in away games).

what makes you think I'm a new poster Rishton?

Maybe you should use your brain instead of talking out of you your backside insulting every one with your bile?

Are you an edl troll Rishton?

Your over-use of their favourite (and only big word) "apologist" although you manage to spell it incorrectly along with your angry insulting of everyone who fails to follow your regressive views is a very familiar trait of those cretins and making me wonder whether your issues have a darker complexion.

Either way, I'm glad you wont be at Ewood anymore.

I'm glad to see him and when Venkys convince me that the club is moving in the right direction, I will pay to see him.

My family of four, my sister's family of four, my two work colleagues - one have bought season tickets. Half of us have been season ticket holders for over 30 years, Iv been going longer than that. It doesnt matter what anybody on here says, you can not make any arguement to support the suggestion I/we must not really be proper fans. Iv seen it all at Ewood believe me - until last season - and I got to the stage where my feelings of anger and frustration at not being able to influence what was going on, completely overtook the actual football. I stuck it out to the bitter last game and what a farce of a circus it was. Last season, I witnessed, Kean on almost a daily basis stuttering delusional predictions to the press, releasing damaging accusations about fans, fans being body searched at the gates, fans arguing and fighting in the Blackburn End, chickens on the pitch, drunks on the pitch, pundits calling us muppets, thugs, disgrace, accusing us of racism and making death threats, arguments amongst my family after games. I could go on but Im sure most of you know what Im talking about. It was the most cr#p season I can remember and it was all down to a small group of deceitful, incompetent, irresponsible, clueless, dishonest people who have no connection with Blackburn Rovers and dont give a fly's **** about those of us who do. Now excuse me if Im wrong, but nothing has changed, it's got worse. The major player in that fiasco Kean, is still in his job and we have now got the pleasure of another imposter to help him. Against that backdrop, Danny Murphy coming to get his last pay off is completely insignificant to me. I want to make this point on behalf of everybody who has made the heartbreaking decision not to renew tickets. We have not done it because we think we can starve Venkys of enough money to make them throw in the towel. Of course it wont make any difference to them. We are however doing the only thing we can do to let them know we are not prepared to be fed any more of that chicken s''t like last season, we are not lemmings that will trundle along whatever they serve up or whatever lies they give. Why is that so hard to understand? For me, if Venkys had sacked Kean this summer, I would have reconsidered because it would have been one gesture to the fans that they recognise they made a big mistake and want to rectify. Until such a move is made - not recruiting a failed PR bloke to General Manager and a Malaysian no-mark to Global Advisor and 35 year old Danny Murphy to our useless midfield. Not what most of us wanted.

Where is the logic of firing off experienced older players on big wages (Nelson, Salgado, Roberts etc) just to replace them with, err, old experienced players on big wages ??
.
Also Best will be a VERY GOOD signing but don't get carried away.
.
The lunes from pune know that we will have a FULL team to replace -

Hoilett
Nzonzi
Yak
Dann
Robinson
Givet
Formica

will ALL definately leave
.
And -

Vukevic
Hanley
Rochina

may also depart (I'm sure they all would if they could).

So a huge rebuilding job to be done.

there is no chance half of them players you mentioned will be allowed to leave also venky's are i think are trying to get back up and HAVE got cash to spend unlike brsit just wish we had a proper manager and also salgado and nelson's legs are gone and will have no club next season,roberts should have been kept

Don't be stupid - Shabby Shiek said only YESTERDAY that ANY player who wants to go CAN GO - so ALL of those players listed WILL GO.
.
As for Venkys having put money into Rovers - are you JA in disguise ?? - the club has a £20m relegation black hole to fill (how naive are some Rovers fans ??).
.
As for Neslon "struggling to find a club" - shows you know nothing about football - he signed for QPR on Monday and will be playing in a higher division than us.
.
You obviously are either a Venky appologist or know nothing about what is happening down at Ewood - the vast majority of senior pros HATE Kean (Robinson, Givet Nzonzi, Rochina especially) - so why would they want to stay at Rovers in the championship when they could all play in a higher division, possibly on more money ??
.
As for Scott Dann - Rovers have been tryig to off-load him since last Dec (they were talking to AV in Jan) trying to get them to have him as they can't really afford the repayments on him and have realised that actually, he's crap anyway !

all you do J.C is assume or guess then pretend you know facts(which you don't) also you are very aggresive when you put your points across(which doesn't make you tough or correct), the point i was making if you care to listen is murphy has only come to rovers because he is on a bumper wage which 90% of the championship team would and could not pay which for me shows slight ambition from venky's not matter what.Teams like burnley or palace would love to have a midfielder like murphy(ask them because i have), and to accuse me of knowing nothing about football when you don't have a clue who i am is idioctic.Also reference to scott dann people who know football would also know that scott dann is a good player who has had a bad season.How do you know they can't afford repayments on him?Who has realised he's crap?I suppose your one of those who automatically compares us to leeds and portmouth and we will finish bottom aswel eh!How do you know all those contracted players will leave?Stop quoting things you know nothing about, your just guessing and assuming

Givet82 be careful having a go at JC Rishton, he went crying to the LET the other day trying to get some bloke kicked off the site when he didn't like what he had to say. If you rub him up the wrong way his dummy will come out again!
Over opinionated know it all clown.

Wow the Venky appologists ARE out in force.
.
Who needs Dingles when when have so much SCUM of our own ??
.
No wonder Venkys and Kean etc chose to buy our club - what other club has so many scum supporters as ours.
.
I wonder why good people like Wayne Wild, Glen and Simon bother to try and save our club from owners who are killing us off when so many of you seem so happy with them as owners ??

Well said J.C.
they will sign a couple of players at most - hope the fans buy season tickets on the back of it and then have a fire sale of 7 or 8 of the existing team.
The club will continue to decline under Venky's ownership. If they were serious about restoring Rovers to the Premier league the very first thing that should have happened was the removal of Kean and the installing of a proven manager. They haven't done this and that is the clearest signal as to their abilities and desire for the club.
I welcome new signings but the bigger strategic picture needs to be considered by some on this message board.

well said?What is calling rovers fans scum??

Anyone know if Wayne Wild and Ian Battersby will be attending next season?If so,are they scum?
Will Simon be doing work at Ewood for Radio Lancs?
Will the legend have to swap his Garner 10 shirt for Garner scum?
Heard Glen say on Talksport that he had got his season ticket early,where that leaves us is anyone's guess.
Will the voice of Rovers,super Robbie Savage,refuse to do Ewood work for Radio 5?
Will Tugay turn up again to do the half-time draw and if he does,what does that make him?
Just a few to be getting on with.

Hey Maltese leave me out if this, although I recon I could give Dunny two yards start these days, thats when he is not arse licking to Kean!! Any way we won't lose any players Kean said he had the full backing if the dressing room and only 1% of the fans where against him,

So lets stop slagging fellow fans off the fact that it seems easy to set fan against fan is one reason that demos have been a failure because the fans were never prepared to stand together.

My family of four, my sister's family of four, my two work colleagues - one have bought season tickets. Half of us have been season ticket holders for over 30 years, Iv been going longer than that. It doesnt matter what anybody on here says, you can not make any arguement to support the suggestion I/we must not really be proper fans. Iv seen it all at Ewood believe me - until last season - and I got to the stage where my feelings of anger and frustration at not being able to influence what was going on, completely overtook the actual football. I stuck it out to the bitter last game and what a farce of a circus it was. Last season, I witnessed, Kean on almost a daily basis stuttering delusional predictions to the press, releasing damaging accusations about fans, fans being body searched at the gates, fans arguing and fighting in the Blackburn End, chickens on the pitch, drunks on the pitch, pundits calling us muppets, thugs, disgrace, accusing us of racism and making death threats, arguments amongst my family after games. I could go on but Im sure most of you know what Im talking about. It was the most cr#p season I can remember and it was all down to a small group of deceitful, incompetent, irresponsible, clueless, dishonest people who have no connection with Blackburn Rovers and dont give a fly's **** about those of us who do. Now excuse me if Im wrong, but nothing has changed, it's got worse. The major player in that fiasco Kean, is still in his job and we have now got the pleasure of another imposter to help him. Against that backdrop, Danny Murphy coming to get his last pay off is completely insignificant to me. I want to make this point on behalf of everybody who has made the heartbreaking decision not to renew tickets. We have not done it because we think we can starve Venkys of enough money to make them throw in the towel. Of course it wont make any difference to them. We are however doing the only thing we can do to let them know we are not prepared to be fed any more of that chicken s''t like last season, we are not lemmings that will trundle along whatever they serve up or whatever lies they give. Why is that so hard to understand? For me, if Venkys had sacked Kean this summer, I would have reconsidered because it would have been one gesture to the fans that they recognise they made a big mistake and want to rectify. Until such a move is made - not recruiting a failed PR bloke to General Manager and a Malaysian no-mark to Global Advisor and 35 year old Danny Murphy to our useless midfield. Not what most of us wanted.

It makes me so sad to read posts like the two great heartfelt comments above.

As a group I think that all our fans have acted in the way that they think is best for Rovers.

The problem is that we have been divided into two camps - those that will still attend to support the team and those that will boycott in the hope that those resonsible for our ruination will leave all the sooner.

Both sides detest the evilvenkykeanoscum that are leading us into oblivion.

In theory we could all turn up next season in large numbers and get behind the team or we could all stay at home and show the world an empty Ewood which may just shame the devils into selling up.

In reality the diehards will attend a pathetically empty stadium which will enable the football world to say that we do not deserve anything but a further relegation.

An empty stadium would serve notice that something very unusual is happening in football - something very sinister indeed.

As I know that nothing will make the majority that is now going to boycott our home games attend short of at the very, very least, the removal of kean then it is my conclusion that the only logical choice for those that want the best for Rovers is to try and ensure an empty stadium to enforce change.

I much regret the suffering that this will cause to those that will be prevented from attending against their will but in every war the innocent suffer the most and in the situation we find ourselves the only two options are war and surrender.

Only one of those options can I counternance.

You're out of order J.C., I know you feel very passionate about this but calling fellow Rovers fans scum isn't on.

Yes, I do realise that calling some fellow fans "scum" is strong language but I'm sorry - make no mistake about it - we are fighting for our LIVES here.
,
In 137 years our club has NEVER come under such a strong, sustained, attack in its very existance - yet some fans either STILL don't get it or just DON'T CARE (thats why I justify the wording) - they think that its still OK to give money to these CRIMINALS who are out to destroy our club - well it isnt !! (and please don't give me this pathetic "I'm going down to support the boys, not SK or Venkys" arguament cos it just won't wash).

Anyone and everyone who buys a ST/Merchandise/corpo

rate sponsership is a VENKY appeaser and is helping to DESTROY something they claim to love.
.
I can guarantee that SK/Venkys will announce that the 6,000 APPEASERS that buy ST this season are therefore agreeing with Venkys policy to "wipe the slate clean" and "agree with keeping SK as manager" - these people are masters of PR.
.
Don't be so SELFISH - Venkys think you are less than NOTHING, we are all excrement on their shoes to them - these people DO NOT deserve to have anything to do with our great club - I'm sure we all can agree with statement so why do some of you out there still appease them with your support ??

It's about time the supports stopped getting at each wether they have a season ticket or not

You need to tell that to these " BRSIT is the only answer" fanatics insulting anyone who doesn't follow the typical doom and gloom line. I'd be interested for someone to explain how are BRSIT planning to pay the millions it costs to run the club?

Few clubs make really money, Venky's do have the money, whether they have or choose to spend it is a another unanswered question in itself, but insulting anyone who just wants to follow the club without getting into its politics in favour of outing irregularities that could bring heavy penalties on the club that could ultimately bring administration and its demise just tells me that maybe the people I stand next to next season are the kind of true supporters I would want to be stood with and maybe we're better off without them.

So lets stop slagging fellow fans off the fact that it seems easy to set fan against fan is one reason that demos have been a failure because the fans were never prepared to stand together.

My family of four, my sister's family of four, my two work colleagues - one have bought season tickets. Half of us have been season ticket holders for over 30 years, Iv been going longer than that. It doesnt matter what anybody on here says, you can not make any arguement to support the suggestion I/we must not really be proper fans. Iv seen it all at Ewood believe me - until last season - and I got to the stage where my feelings of anger and frustration at not being able to influence what was going on, completely overtook the actual football. I stuck it out to the bitter last game and what a farce of a circus it was. Last season, I witnessed, Kean on almost a daily basis stuttering delusional predictions to the press, releasing damaging accusations about fans, fans being body searched at the gates, fans arguing and fighting in the Blackburn End, chickens on the pitch, drunks on the pitch, pundits calling us muppets, thugs, disgrace, accusing us of racism and making death threats, arguments amongst my family after games. I could go on but Im sure most of you know what Im talking about. It was the most cr#p season I can remember and it was all down to a small group of deceitful, incompetent, irresponsible, clueless, dishonest people who have no connection with Blackburn Rovers and dont give a fly's **** about those of us who do. Now excuse me if Im wrong, but nothing has changed, it's got worse. The major player in that fiasco Kean, is still in his job and we have now got the pleasure of another imposter to help him. Against that backdrop, Danny Murphy coming to get his last pay off is completely insignificant to me. I want to make this point on behalf of everybody who has made the heartbreaking decision not to renew tickets. We have not done it because we think we can starve Venkys of enough money to make them throw in the towel. Of course it wont make any difference to them. We are however doing the only thing we can do to let them know we are not prepared to be fed any more of that chicken s''t like last season, we are not lemmings that will trundle along whatever they serve up or whatever lies they give. Why is that so hard to understand? For me, if Venkys had sacked Kean this summer, I would have reconsidered because it would have been one gesture to the fans that they recognise they made a big mistake and want to rectify. Until such a move is made - not recruiting a failed PR bloke to General Manager and a Malaysian no-mark to Global Advisor and 35 year old Danny Murphy to our useless midfield. Not what most of us wanted.

Don't be stupid - Shabby Shiek said only YESTERDAY that ANY player who wants to go CAN GO - so ALL of those players listed WILL GO.

As for Neslon "struggling to find a club" - shows you know nothing about football - he signed for QPR on Monday and will be playing in a higher division than us.

You obviously are either a Venky appologist or know nothing about what is happening down at Ewood - the vast majority of senior pros HATE Kean (Robinson, Givet Nzonzi, Rochina especially) - so why would they want to stay at Rovers in the championship when they could all play in a higher division, possibly on more money ??
.
As for Scott Dann - Rovers have been tryig to off-load him since last Dec (they were talking to AV in Jan) trying to get them to have him as they can't really afford the repayments on him and have realised that actually, he's crap anyway !

all you do J.C is assume or guess then pretend you know facts(which you don't) also you are very aggresive when you put your points across(which doesn't make you tough or correct), the point i was making if you care to listen is murphy has only come to rovers because he is on a bumper wage which 90% of the championship team would and could not pay which for me shows slight ambition from venky's not matter what.Teams like burnley or palace would love to have a midfielder like murphy(ask them because i have), and to accuse me of knowing nothing about football when you don't have a clue who i am is idioctic.Also reference to scott dann people who know football would also know that scott dann is a good player who has had a bad season.How do you know they can't afford repayments on him?Who has realised he's crap?I suppose your one of those who automatically compares us to leeds and portmouth and we will finish bottom aswel eh!How do you know all those contracted players will leave?Stop quoting things you know nothing about, your just guessing and assuming

Givet82 be careful having a go at JC Rishton, he went crying to the LET the other day trying to get some bloke kicked off the site when he didn't like what he had to say. If you rub him up the wrong way his dummy will come out again!

Wow the Venky appologists ARE out in force.
.
Who needs Dingles when when have so much SCUM of our own ??
.
No wonder Venkys and Kean etc chose to buy our club - what other club has so many scum supporters as ours.
.
I wonder why good people like Wayne Wild, Glen and Simon bother to try and save our club from owners who are killing us off when so many of you seem so happy with them as owners ??

Well said J.C.
they will sign a couple of players at most - hope the fans buy season tickets on the back of it and then have a fire sale of 7 or 8 of the existing team.
The club will continue to decline under Venky's ownership. If they were serious about restoring Rovers to the Premier league the very first thing that should have happened was the removal of Kean and the installing of a proven manager. They haven't done this and that is the clearest signal as to their abilities and desire for the club.
I welcome new signings but the bigger strategic picture needs to be considered by some on this message board.

well said?What is calling rovers fans scum??

Anyone know if Wayne Wild and Ian Battersby will be attending next season?If so,are they scum?
Will Simon be doing work at Ewood for Radio Lancs?
Will the legend have to swap his Garner 10 shirt for Garner scum?
Heard Glen say on Talksport that he had got his season ticket early,where that leaves us is anyone's guess.
Will the voice of Rovers,super Robbie Savage,refuse to do Ewood work for Radio 5?
Will Tugay turn up again to do the half-time draw and if he does,what does that make him?
Just a few to be getting on with.

Maybe smellthecrappy can tell us.

Also whilst hes at it he can also explain if the LET, the players who continue to draw wages are all scum for not deserting the ship.

Seems like everyone who will attend the games this season are SCuM except the good people who brought you "rather go into administration than have Venky's as owners".

Go figure.

Angrlus - a new poster, always making excuses for Kean and Venkys - you are definately NOT a Rovers fan - you seem to care NOTHING about what Kean/Mrs D are doing to our club.
.
Infact, quite the opposite - every article you seem to give a "positive" (pro Venky slant) to it.
.
I don't think you've been posting on here every long so I presume you're one of those annoying Dingles that recently got banned.
.
Stick to Dingle articles in future !!

The majority of those you mention apart from Glen, actually get paid to attend Ewood, whereas we have to pay. You have slightly missed the point although you are absolutely right in saying that no Rovers fan is scum whether they have chosen to attend or refrain

Not what most of us wanted.

It makes me so sad to read posts like the two great heartfelt comments above.

As a group I think that all our fans have acted in the way that they think is best for Rovers.

The problem is that we have been divided into two camps - those that will still attend to support the team and those that will boycott in the hope that those resonsible for our ruination will leave all the sooner.

Both sides detest the evilvenkykeanoscum that are leading us into oblivion.

In theory we could all turn up next season in large numbers and get behind the team or we could all stay at home and show the world an empty Ewood which may just shame the devils into selling up.

In reality the diehards will attend a pathetically empty stadium which will enable the football world to say that we do not deserve anything but a further relegation.

An empty stadium would serve notice that something very unusual is happening in football - something very sinister indeed.

As I know that nothing will make the majority that is now going to boycott our home games attend short of at the very, very least, the removal of kean then it is my conclusion that the only logical choice for those that want the best for Rovers is to try and ensure an empty stadium to enforce change.

I much regret the suffering that this will cause to those that will be prevented from attending against their will but in every war the innocent suffer the most and in the situation we find ourselves the only two options are war and surrender.

Only one of those options can I counternance.

I do not think that the fans, those that have not bought / renewed their STs, think that their actions will bring the Venky's to their knees. They are simply making their point of wanting the Venky's and Steve Kean out, and are not willing to spend their hard earned money on STs till that glorious day.

You really need to get a reality check mate because no matter how many pairs of blinkers you put on the club is still stuffed and will be for a long time to come.
Why not support another local club like chorley who has ex rovers gary flitcroft as manager and are playing well under him.
