Blackburn Rovers new boy Gomes has World Cup dream

NUNO Gomes believes his shock Blackburn Rovers move could hand him an international lifeline – as he bids for a dream World Cup finale.

The 36-year-old signed a two-year deal at Ewood Park last week and revealed he turned down several other offers, including one from Premier League Everton.

The former Benfica, Fiorentina and Braga striker has played in World Cups and European Championships for Portugal and hopes his English switch could earn him an international recall.

He insists helping Rovers back into the Premier League at the first attempt is the priority but believes that could also earn him a place in Portugal’s squad for the World Cup in 2014.

He said: “The talks began two weeks ago. It was quite fast. I had other offers, even from Everton from the Premier League, but everyone here made me feel at home. That was very important for me.

“I’m going to live in Manchester. It’s an hour trip and my family will be with me there. I hope also that Black-burn can help me, perhaps I could even be at the 2014 World Cup with Portugal.

“I had offers from Braga and also Benfica, but wanted to play in England. I had some talks with guys from the MLS and from Everton, but the guys from Rovers convinced me.

“They want me to help the team reach the Premier League. That’s the main goal, the Premier League. I think I can become an idol to the fans. At every club I’ve played, I had the fans’ support and hope I can get it there as well.

“I always loved English football. In England everyone looks at what the player does on the pitch. They don’t look at how old we are. I think I can score many goals, and who knows, after two years maybe I can renew thecontract.”

Oh dear, now I understand why Gomes signed for us - he clearly shares the manager's deluded mental state. It's becoming an asylum for the clinically deluded.

Why not give the guy a chance?

Nothing wrong with confidence in his own ability. Hopefully it will rub off on some of the younger players.

Lets forget the real deluded one and let the players who want to play for our club play.

Those who dont want to play for us, let them go and get in as much as possible to rebuild with players like this who want to achieve success and get us back to the premier league.

Why would he sign for con man kean if he could have gone to everton.Obviously kean's **** comments have got inside his head already.Good luck to the lad but playing now and then in the tough championship will not get you a recall for your country.

Did you read the article? i thought it was about a 36 year old who thought he could get back in the national team for the 2014 world cup when he will be thirty firckin eight??? Maybe he will be that good he will keep Ronaldo pinned to the bench but, on the other hand I think he's been at the bottle with his mate the messiah. Kean reckons all the players are behind the man whom God gave the ten commandments too. I'm all for giving a new signing a break and I hope Gomes is fantastic but come on, RUinsane.

His enthusiasm and confidence could be infectious as we try and move on from the shell-shocked state we are all in after last season's tragic performance off the pitch.

Like everyone else he has to put his money where his mouth is. It's all about results.

At least he's been there and done it at the top-level.

Let's hope he's right!

4:52pm Tue 10 Jul 12

Of course he is going to talk himself up, its par for the course.
This applies to every player, so no disrespect at all to Nuno.
However, as the saying goes: 'Talk is cheap', actions is what its all about.
I sincerely hope he does well and wish him the best.
I note that time and time again the same old criticism coming out over the hesitancy of us 'stay aways' toward the man and his declaration of putting it all in for BRFC. And by the same token the criticism of some stay aways toward the readily acceptance of absolutely anything at all coming out of BRFC as a real sign of 'turning the corner' and things on the up.
Both are equally pointless, as we will all only really know when we are some 10 weeks or so into the season.

Sounds to me like Kean has guaranteed Gomes and Murphy places in the first team no matter how well they play. I hope they can still raise their game and inspire those around them even when the defence is leaking lots of goals and the other players don't seem to have a clue what is going on because the brilliant manager has lost the plot again.
.
Good luck to all the new players. I hope you do well despite Kean.

I,m looking forward to watching Rovers at the away matches,,,I for one will not be setting foot in Ewood until Festa has gone,,I think there will be a good following to away matches and at least the players will hear how much the Rovers fans hate their Manager and it should go some way to him exiting the club,,especially playing in front of 8,000 at Ewood,,,

A footballer should just go out and prove his worth, this guy is cocky just like kean, if it all goes horribly wrong will you come back on here and tells us what a numbskull you r? He is 36, if he can stay fit he will probably do ok, I suspect he will get injured after 10 games and we won't see himv again till the following season, the championship will weed out the old and weak....!

Listen, we all support the Rovers and always will do. We all hate Kean for dragging the club down and "Steve Kean's Blue and White Army "will never be sung at Ewood even if we go up as Champions.
However, I will not be cutting off my nose to spite my face.
If the ****, miraculously, gets us playing decent football and challenging at the top, then I will attend at Ewood and give my support t the players, as well as away.

As for Nunu, I think his last statement gives his delusional state away...another 2 year contract for a 38 year old striker!! Brockhall is where they all belong.

Well we should get behind him we did for Grabbi and always tried to boost his confidence so lets hope he can do a Yakubu for us as long as the rest of the team can perform better than they did last year we can achieve the sacking of Kean because if the guy has survived all the failures they must sack him when he becomes a success,

6:05pm Tue 10 Jul 12

If you went to a venue and the owners treated you like dirt and their manager promised you all sorts of things and you didn't get any of them, would you go again?, no you wouldn't.
Then why are people giving their money to an ever expanding gravy train.
They dont "Splash the cash", they simply take your cash, and I for one do not want to keep people like we have at Ewood in full and plenty.
If our club is going to be stripped bare by our current regime, it might as well happen now not some time later when we are in Division 2.
So thats why it is so important they are starved of money.
To them its never been about the football and that wont change with a few more optimistic statements and indeed one or two supportive comments on here.
Dont give your money away.

I wont return while Kean is there. I found the games increasingly intolerable last season for various reasons but mostly I couldnt stand what Kean was saying and doing any longer. I started to feel aggressive when I saw him or thought about what he was doing and that is why Im drawing a line. I want to watch the football not the Kean/Venkys circus. I take issue with your phrasing. If fans have made a decision not to buy a ticket just as you have made a decision to buy one, why do you describe those who havent as 'crawling'? You make it sound as thought they have something to beg forgiveness about and they clearly havent. It is a grown up decision just as yours is. Did you crawl down to the ticket office and sleasily buy a ticket? Of course not. Stop being so petty about other people.

What I don't understand, apart from rumours about new signings etc, is with the current squad, no matter how good murphy, best and gomes are, what is going to be done about the defence if Singh is saying only one other after Silva??

If they bring Gosling in and Silva is in talks, is that it or as each player leaves they replace them too?

I'm all for giving the new guys a chance but the formation with the current players is baffling to say the least, unless he's bringing in defenders from the youth team.

Could we please have a seperate forum/thread for the people who just post negatives. This thread is about a new signing and his hopeful ambitions at Rovers, and yet people see fit to slag him off. Give the guy a chance.

Negatives are fine, where warranted, and everybody is entitled to their own opinion. All is not rosy at Ewood, but having to trawl through all the repetative dross about not buying a season ticket, hate this person and that, only going to away games etc is boring.

If some of you "negs" attend away games and continually abuse Kean and not get behind the team, then I would expect few away points - probably the result you want, however, are you a true supporter?

The club should ensure that away tickets are only available to season ticket holders.

Rant over, and I am awaiting the abuse!!


Looks like Chorley FC is now out of bounds in view of Garry Flitcroft's comments, but then again, do other clubs want to put up with moaning fans.

Well, I can understand the club is going through some major crisis — or at least, judging from the supporters comments, through a lot disbelief in its future prospects.
What I can assure you all is that Nuno Gomes is a very intelligent player and very reasonable and likeable person.
I don't know why he chose BR over Everton, but I can understand why he chose them over a staff position in Benfica: because he still wants to play. And contrary to my fellow Benfica fan, I still believe he can. And he will score, if he plays. He did last year in Braga, and I think he was probably the player with the best goals/minutes played ratio in our league. And, yes, he definitely was the player missing in our national squad in Euro 2012. We would've won it, had he been there.
I don't think he will make it to the national squad in 2014, but I'm sure you guys will love him if he gets the chance to do what he does best. I, for one, surely will be following his and the team's career. I owe him some of the best moments of my 45+ years as a football fan and I hope you guys will be playing in the Premier League next season. I don't know about the rest of staff, but Nuno "Gomes" Ribeiro surely deserves such an opportunity.
You just signed a trully great player.

No. The real fans will be there at Ewood, supporting.
The stay aways will not be there and therefore no longer qualify as supporters.
Fine , it is a free country ( except on these pages) but if you dont go you aint a supporter, simples!

Oh and don't bother with the away games guff, thats less believable than Mr Kean

nobodys going to stop the true supporters from going to Ewood including Keano.

What I can assure you all is that Nuno Gomes is a very intelligent player and very reasonable and likeable person.
I don't know why he chose BR over Everton, but I can understand why he chose them over a staff position in Benfica: because he still wants to play. And contrary to my fellow Benfica fan, I still believe he can. And he will score, if he plays. He did last year in Braga, and I think he was probably the player with the best goals/minutes played ratio in our league. And, yes, he definitely was the player missing in our national squad in Euro 2012. We would've won it, had he been there.
I don't think he will make it to the national squad in 2014, but I'm sure you guys will love him if he gets the chance to do what he does best.

How many chances does Kean want? He's had more than enough. He is only at Ewood, for reasons other than football. Something stinks down there, and it's not just Keans bulls*it!

If some of you "negs" attend away games and continually abuse Kean and not get behind the team, then I would expect few away points - probably the result you want, however, are you a true supporter?

The club should ensure that away tickets are only available to season ticket holders.

No I have my own identity.

Whilst I seriously appreciate some of the comments on this forum, there are too many going over the same point, time and time again, such as "I will not set foot in Ewood until Kean goes, but will attend away matches"

If these people do attend away matches, will they support the team, or just spend time hurling abuse at Kean? At home matches, some supporters can be quiet, this is their choice, however, at away matches the great majority "sing their hearts out for the lads" This encourages the team.

If non season ticket holders, or those who do not have a track record of buying tickets for the 2012/13 season are allowed to purchase away tickets, this will nullify the potential good atmosphere.

Only my opinion your Honour !! (lol)

I'm pretty sure Rovers11-12, Arglus and blueblooded are one and the same, and if I was to hazard a guess I'd say that was Steve Kean.

As for flyingv1, if you were to pin me down, judging from the tone from his recent interview, I'd say Paul Agnew.

Expect to see some kind of restrictions therefore attempt to be enforced on away ticket sales just like this dude is saying there should be. It's any attempt possible to try and hide the massive unhappiness the fans are clearly feeling.

I think you'll find that almost every ST owner whose going to the away games will agree.

haters on here need to get a clue about whats really going on. Players arent saying anything bad about Kean because apart from one or two, Kean has a good relationship with all of them, trust me on this, my gf worked there last season.

The press, Flitcroft other managers all have nothing bad to say about Kean because clueless as a manager he might have been, its down to opinion, Kean bent over backwards giving encouragement to players and staff and is generally well liked. There might have been all sorts of dodgy going on in the boardroom but Kean didnt bring it to the team and shielded the players and people working there blame venkys for most of it.

and before any haters jump on the bandwagon, yeah I am new on here, but I am shocked to read some of the comments from so-called rovers supporters. I can only assume they are the same morons who chanted throughout each match win lose or draw.

Well here's a nugget for ya: Its commonly known behind the scenes that the Yak wanted out not just because he wanted top-flight football (proven by fact he didnt go to the EPL), he was sick and tired of all the negativity and didnt relish another season of the negative atmosphere created including from the fans.

Hes not the only one and who could blame them? its bad enough results not going your way, injuries, players not being played from decisions by absent owners, but who in their right mind would have wanted to put a Rovers shirt on and go out to fans chanting and boo-ing the manager?

Abuse me all you like, I'm a true blue and will be there rain or shine cheering on my team to turn it around and neither Venkys, Kean or so-so supporters can change that. Just hope the players take comfort that its only the away games they have to suffer.

Yeah, because we often sell our full allocation of away tickets anyway. And we're in the championship which is a bigger draw now. And there's only a fraction of the season ticket holders we used to have, to scoop up all those formerly unsellable away tickets. And the hardcore of lads who go to the away matches are full on behind Kean too anyway.

Yeah those "so-called away only" fans definitely sound like they will be in a minority.

Those away games are going to be interesting and no mistaking.

So why don't the Venkys just sack Steve Kean then and end the negativity in an instant?

That's what no-one can understand. That's why everyone thinks there is something seriously shady going on. There is no question in most fans' mind that there is something highly questionable going on at Rovers whilst Steve Kean is still there. The facts for that are self evident.

Only the owners can change that. The owners are deluded that it will change if we get some good results. It's past that point for most fans though, we have been shat on for too long. Football managers are sacked as easy as they are on the Apprentice, but ours keeps his job even when it means deliberately alienating huge swathes of out fans.

That's why there is the negativity, because none of this makes sense unless something suspicious is going on. Please stop blaming the fans therefore. They haven't created this crazy situation. They want to end this crazy situation. They know, like everyone, how this situation can be easily ended too. But our owners would much rather just continue to shat on their own fans instead.

And you expect us to cheer this?

Negatives are fine, where warranted, and everybody is entitled to their own opinion. All is not rosy at Ewood, but having to trawl through all the repetative dross about not buying a season ticket, hate this person and that, only going to away games etc is boring.

If some of you "negs" attend away games and continually abuse Kean and not get behind the team, then I would expect few away points - probably the result you want, however, are you a true supporter?

The club should ensure that away tickets are only available to season ticket holders.

Rant over, and I am awaiting the abuse!!


Looks like Chorley FC is now out of bounds in view of Garry Flitcroft's comments, but then again, do other clubs want to put up with moaning fans.
FlyingV1 are you Rovers11-12?
If you don't buy a season ticket you should be banned from away games ffs.
Get Real
I think you'll find that almost every ST owner whose going to the away games will agree.

haters on here need to get a clue about whats really going on. Players arent saying anything bad about Kean because apart from one or two, Kean has a good relationship with all of them, trust me on this, my gf worked there last season.

The press, Flitcroft other managers all have nothing bad to say about Kean because clueless as a manager he might have been, its down to opinion, Kean bent over backwards giving encouragement to players and staff and is generally well liked. There might have been all sorts of dodgy going on in the boardroom but Kean didnt bring it to the team and shielded the players and people working there blame venkys for most of it.

and before any haters jump on the bandwagon, yeah I am new on here, but I am shocked to read some of the comments from so-called rovers supporters. I can only assume they are the same morons who chanted throughout each match win lose or draw.

Well here's a nugget for ya: Its commonly known behind the scenes that the Yak wanted out not just because he wanted top-flight football (proven by fact he didnt go to the EPL), he was sick and tired of all the negativity and didnt relish another season of the negative atmosphere created including from the fans.

Hes not the only one and who could blame them? its bad enough results not going your way, injuries, players not being played from decisions by absent owners, but who in their right mind would have wanted to put a Rovers shirt on and go out to fans chanting and boo-ing the manager?

Abuse me all you like, I'm a true blue and will be there rain or shine cheering on my team to turn it around and neither Venkys, Kean or so-so supporters can change that. Just hope the players take comfort that its only the away games they have to suffer.
i wont abuse u ,you have your opinion which i admire ,,each to their own ,but because of the goings on i will not give not one penny more to venkys or kean ,they are responcible for our demise ,not the fans ,please dont blame the fans as they want as much success as possible ,but this one wont give them anything till they give us back our club ,either run it as a football club or do one .

Jack Straw is a decent bloke and a genuine Rovers fan.

Give it a rest with the nick picking eh.
Quite right.

Jack Straw is a man of honour and good intention. He has to follow up all allegations of wrong doing whether true, fabricated or embellished as could be the case with the BRAG report.

Jack lent his support to what appeared to be incriminating and damning evidence. Call it bandwagon jumping or whatever, its within his right to change his mind and lend his support if he thinks its right to do so.

I'm pretty sure Rovers11-12, Arglus and blueblooded are one and the same, and if I was to hazard a guess I'd say that was Steve Kean.

As for flyingv1, if you were to pin me down, judging from the tone from his recent interview, I'd say Paul Agnew.

Expect to see some kind of restrictions therefore attempt to be enforced on away ticket sales just like this dude is saying there should be. It's any attempt possible to try and hide the massive unhappiness the fans are clearly feeling.
why the hell you bringing me into it you cretinous old stump?

Or are you really THAT stupid and naive to believe the crap you spew about Kean and Agnew posting in here?

Oh dear Jack, too much of the bong will do that to you.

"Winners don't do drugs"
They do you know. Look at Michael Phelps. Hitting the bong like a pro, but still managing a record 8 gold medals at a single Olympic games.

It stands to reason that Kean and Agnew would post on here incidentally. Where else can they face their foes with anonymity?

Jack

If I have a good "shat" in the morning I give a good cheer!!

Fully appreciate your frustrations, yes Kean should just go and there would be harmony again (bliss). Unfortunately, we as supporters have no say in the matter. Venkys have made a mess, we all know that. Over the past few weeks, things have changed a little, for the better, we will have to see, but at least there appears to be communication.

However, in view of the past, and maybe the future, conduct of business by Venkys, some supporters will try to pick fault with everything that comes out of the club.

Difficult, I know, but let's wait until the start of the season to see who has come and gone, and the frame of the squad of players. Protesting has gone on for months, we are only talking about weeks now, and if things are not better, then go for it!!

I'll keep this brief tonight as I'm getting grief for being on the internet by the Eastenders loving bosslady.

In a nutshell, from what I know, Kean talks a good talk to her highness and even they were being tight lipped about the decisions they made. Indian owners are like that I get told. Hes a monkey, but he no doubtedly is a clever one because he sucked up to organ grinder not the brothers. Common knowledge that brothers wanted him sacked but desai shielded him though he still wasnt party to decisions. Basically he kept his job because he did a great job shielding Venkys and Desai accepted they made mistakes and so he kept his job, although they diluted his responsibilities with bringing in Kean so they obviously dont want take too many chances with him.

This could be last chance for him who knows? only venkys do.

right Im off. be on tomoz if I get a chance. cheers.

'These lets see how it goes once the season starts comments could have been written 12 months ago.

We were told to judge Kean on his players and their results and to have faith in him.

You can only make this play once. If it doesn't work you look incompetent and full of bull.

Can only assume anyone willing to give him another chance is a masochist or has been in space for the last 12 months.

right Im off. be on tomoz if I get a chance. cheers.
It doesn't matter though. Whatever plans of plans that are going to come good in Desai's head just aren't starting from a realistic point. That point being the continued employment of Steve Kean.

So whatever he said, she said, her brother said, it simply doesn't matter anymore. What matters now is that many, possibly most fans have crossed a point of no return now with Steve Kean - they see his presence as being proof positive of something completely rotten down at Ewood.

That's the first and foremost thing that needs to change to get the fans back on board therefore, and there is only one way to do that. Any plans which don't include sacking Kean are doomed to failure for the common fan. That's just being realistic of the modern world.

In the face of reason therefore, any plans which don't include sacking Kean will be seen as incompetence from the owners from most fans too. A blind man can see the most sensible option is sacking Kean. So why aren't the owners doing that? The owners will be rightly seen as stupid by fans because they are making stupid decisions. Either way it doesn't fill fans with confidence.

Negatives are fine, where warranted, and everybody is entitled to their own opinion. All is not rosy at Ewood, but having to trawl through all the repetative dross about not buying a season ticket, hate this person and that, only going to away games etc is boring.

If some of you "negs" attend away games and continually abuse Kean and not get behind the team, then I would expect few away points - probably the result you want, however, are you a true supporter?

The club should ensure that away tickets are only available to season ticket holders.

Rant over, and I am awaiting the abuse!!


Looks like Chorley FC is now out of bounds in view of Garry Flitcroft's comments, but then again, do other clubs want to put up with moaning fans.
what did Flitcroft say? I never saw anything from him....hope you can enlighten me please.
Posted earlier that he was on Radio Lancs this evening.
He hoped supporters would get behind the team and give Kean another chance.
going to find it now.

Maybe Flitcroft got warned fans would be going Chorley and chanting and thought best way to stop them was to back kean lol

Next we'll have Stanley boss on..

Hi Paul, so you want a seperate thread for the 'negatives' but at the same time people 'are entitled to their opinion'? You seem as confused as in your interview the other day when you claimed we'd been fighting relegation for the last 5 years. If you stick to soundbites about being 'positive' and 'wiping the slate clean' you won't get so easily confused again. Good luck, you soulless, guff-spouting, Alan Partridge-esque delight of a human being.

At 36 yrs old, you will give us craft, guile and experience. You have won many trophies.

You will win many more trophies at my club, Nuno. I hope.

We have, as you know, a great manager, a leader, a coach of fantastic technical ability, a motivater of men, inspirational who will lead us to the promised land, and you Nono because of your exploits with the mighty BRFC, will once again be the leading light of Portuguese football.

Just how many PR accounts do Rovers have on here? I don't know; the lengths that the club will go to, to cause a division between the fans. A classic Kean trait is this. He's been at it ever since the Arsenal game last season, with his 1% nonsense.

It's purely a diversionary tactic, to hoodwink his puppeteers in India, into thinking he still has the support of the fans. Even some fans are being taken in, and are willing to give this evil regime a second chance.

What have they done to deserve any support at all? NOTHING! They have brought nothing but shame and humiliation to this once proud club. They have destroyed EVERYTHING that Jack Walker built. They are not here to develop the club, and to preserve the legacy of Jack Walker, like they PROMISED to do. They LIED, and have continued to do so ever since.

Don't be fooled by their ongoing propaganda. Their reasons for being here are less than honourable. They have absolutely NO INTENTIONS of fulfilling the PROMISES they made, when they bought the club. There is not ONE aspect of the club that has been improved. I can only see FAILURE; at EVERY LEVEL. I really can't understand why anyone can still keep giving money to these scoundrels.

FlyingV1 are you Rovers11-12?
If you don't buy a season ticket you should be banned from away games ffs.
Get Real
I think you'll find that almost every ST owner whose going to the away games will agree.

haters on here need to get a clue about whats really going on. Players arent saying anything bad about Kean because apart from one or two, Kean has a good relationship with all of them, trust me on this, my gf worked there last season.

The press, Flitcroft other managers all have nothing bad to say about Kean because clueless as a manager he might have been, its down to opinion, Kean bent over backwards giving encouragement to players and staff and is generally well liked. There might have been all sorts of dodgy going on in the boardroom but Kean didnt bring it to the team and shielded the players and people working there blame venkys for most of it.

and before any haters jump on the bandwagon, yeah I am new on here, but I am shocked to read some of the comments from so-called rovers supporters. I can only assume they are the same morons who chanted throughout each match win lose or draw.

Well here's a nugget for ya: Its commonly known behind the scenes that the Yak wanted out not just because he wanted top-flight football (proven by fact he didnt go to the EPL), he was sick and tired of all the negativity and didnt relish another season of the negative atmosphere created including from the fans.

Hes not the only one and who could blame them? its bad enough results not going your way, injuries, players not being played from decisions by absent owners, but who in their right mind would have wanted to put a Rovers shirt on and go out to fans chanting and boo-ing the manager?

Abuse me all you like, I'm a true blue and will be there rain or shine cheering on my team to turn it around and neither Venkys, Kean or so-so supporters can change that. Just hope the players take comfort that its only the away games they have to suffer.
Lets hope its your first and last post, load of absolute tosh from start to finish

After reading comments this morning I am getting the impression that Flitty has announced that he does not welcome any protesting at Chorley FC on matchday.
This is quite right, because it has nothing to do with them and would surely harm their concentration onfield.
I would hope that any who were planning to can readily respect his concerns and wishes.
Any that ignore this and continue will certainly cause a hell of a lot of harm again to our image.

Resorting to the personal abuse of those staying away or those who are not is uncalled for and achieves nothing.

It is only natural for some of us to feel a little more positive given the apparent installation of a management structure and signings of new players.

Personally, I remain hugely sceptical of the new officers suitability, considering their dubious CVs - or simply a lack of one - and how some of them got their jobs in the first place.

As for the players; it is only natural players will leave when a club is relegated and is little or nothing to do with the manager. Any player (or manager) would want to leave a club if a better opportunity came along, irrespective of the club being in Europe or going down (or has already gone) - Bellamy, Santa Cruz, Jones, Bentley and Mark Hughes spring to mind.

Samba was one of the few who left on principle, partly at least. He had been promised the world by the owners, probably through Kean, and they did not deliver.

It has of course been convenient for all the criticism to be heaped on the manager - as useless as he is. They have been able to keep their heads down and not accept any responsibilty.

Players are temporary employees only - Robbie Savage said last season they don't really care who is in charge as long as they are getting a game (he was talking about Spurs and 'arry possibly taking the England job).

For all the players signed I am concerned at the probable net deficit come the end of the summer. We look like being desperately short, both positionally (no defenders signed and several wanting away) and, quite simply, numerically.

As for Jack Straw and Flits; you can't deny, Kean showed character staying in the job amidst all the flak he was taking, although I would question him being "dignified" as some claimed. The dignity bar is set pretty low in the management profession. They spend most of the time abusing just about everybody, especially match officials, and behaving like spoiled brats. So Kean didn't turn around and start giving it back - does that make him dignified? What was their opinion of the manner in which he got the job (Sam said he had been stabbed in the back, you may recall) or his behaviour in court or what he said about his predecessor? These are far greater indications of the levels of dignity. Moyes', Pullis@ et al; their silence was deafening.

And Flits? Well he isn't going to come out and say he is useless and should be sacked is he? It was probably in response to a throw away question which doesn't concern him anyway.

Technically, those going down to Ewood are supporters of the team whilst those who don't aren't. I won't be as I am a supporter of the club and have been beaten into submission by the way it has been dismantled by the incompetence of its owners.

I do not feel an affinity to the club any more, but go easy on those who express an opinion, one way or t'other.

10 years ago Gomes was a good international, even 5 years ago he was probably worth a gamble. I wish him well as any Rovers fan should. He's probably brighter than the average footballer and he's done some good PR already for himself and the club. He's after one good pay day, and good luck, it might work.
Keano has a Portuguese connection and these signing smack of agent's percentages, as much as football sense.
I don't think Flitty was saying don't come to Chorley, he was just doing his version of a good pro doing the business.

for the record, i dont agree like most with the way my club has been managed and i was one of the first peopple to call for keans head... but lets face facts, he aint going, no body cares weather you dont go to ewood, not even venkys... the money from ST is nothing ! there not assed... your only punishing yourself,

im a proud rover and under no circumstances will i allow steve kean and a bunch of Indian cowboys from supporting my club... from the touchline

blackburn yoof.... really does explain your mentality

YAWN
And by going on to Ewood you become another stat for Kean to Quote, " see MRS D I told you it was only 1%"
EXPLAIN ?!

i will repeat myself....

Venkys/Kean do not care weather you go to Ewood or not

end of chat

more harm than good not going
If Venky's and Kean are not bothered about whether the fans turn up or not, then that just about sums up their total disregard and lack of respect for their customers, which is a major contributory factor, into the rapid decline of this once proud club.

Out with 'em all!

YOUR RIGHT ARE DAY WILL COMEOUT WITH KEAN
ye right on ,,good luck to gomes ,maybe he,s eyeing the managers job ,the sooner he,s out the more will spill onto the terraces . not a cent will be giving to kean .
I cannot believe how thick some of our fans are. Basic spelling and grammar appears to be a mystery. It's embarrassing!

Kean is staying like it or not. If you want to be in the Premiership next season, get behind your team and make Ewood a place travelling teams fear to enter.
Not buying season tickets is making a statement, but stinks of cutting off your nose to spike your face.
The drop in income from loss of season ticket sales is not big enough to force the hand of Venkys.

I'm a fan of Rovers, not Venkys.
see ya there bluey
Sorry Bluey-BBurn neither am I 'cutting off my nose to spike my face' neither am I more correctly 'cutting off my nose to spite my face'. You are right it can be embarrassing! However thanks for the failed efforts to educate.

More importantly there are supporters who believe the long term future of the club is more important than the short term performance of the 1st team.
Such supporters have decided that their best course of action to bring about change, which will benefit the club as a whole is to stay away.

I'm a supporter of the club not just a fan of the 1st team !

Unless we rid ourselfs of these failed incompetents the club will continue in the downward spiral with more seasons like the last one and with more snouts in the trough. Starve rhe parasites!

Vikings Rover - you, and the majority of bottom feeders that frequent this site, will be the driving force behind a Rovers decline.
Venkys are trying to improve and learn from their mistakes - get behind them, get behind the club before it's too late.

Being a passionate fan of the game for many years, and a fan of Nuno Gomes since I knew he existed. I was hoping he'd come here to the USA to play. My Mom reminded me how the US doesn't do as good a job supporting the MLS games as the fans do in England...I get there are real problems with this team but the more I read the more sad I am for the fans of Blackburn...but isn't it for the good of the team to give the new players a chance? Not only is Nuno an amazing player, but a great human being as well. I can only hope that he will help bring a positive change to the team...which regardless of owner/manager problems...I will now follow religiously. I have seen players over 50 years old do AMAZING things so I'm hoping Nuno's hopes are not so out there. We have a saying here that "Anything can happen in soccer" (wince I know, I know - football - sorry) and "If it is possible...why not?" I hope Nuno and all the rest of the team surprise you all...and people who have loved the Blackburn Rovers in the past will be able to find their passion for the team again. I love Nuno's optimism and wish him nothing but the very best :)
