Greek giants hunting Blackburn Rovers midfielder Petrovic
10:01am Wednesday 11th July 2012 in Football
By Andy Cryer, Blackburn Rovers reporter
GREEK giants Olympiakos are considering a move for Blackburn Rovers midfielder Radosav Petrovic after being told the player could be available this summer.
The Serbian midfielder struggled to make an impact at Ewood Park in his first season in English football last time round and is expected to be low down in the pecking order again this campaign.
The introduction of Danny Murphy and the continued pursuit of Sporting Lisbon’s Adrien Silva in the centre of the park have shrouded his Ewood future in further uncertainty – with the likes of David Dunn, Morten Gamst Pedersen and Jason Lowe also challenging for spots in the centre of the park.
Olympiakos were beaten to the signing of Petrovic 12 months ago but, having been told by sources close to the player he may be surplus to requirements, are ready to swoop again for the 23-year-old.
The player’s price tag could prove a sticking point though with the Greek outfit struggling financially and Rovers wanting to recoup the estimated £2.5-£3million they paid.
Olympiakos are understood to be ready to attempt to take him to Greece on a season-long loan but it is unlikely Rovers would allow him to leave, unless their valuation was reached.
Efforts are ongoing to meet agreement with Sporting Lisbon over former Portuguese under 21 skipper Adrien Silva, with Rovers still hopeful the deal can be finalised.
It is also understood boss Steve Kean has made finding a versatile defender a priority, having added two strikers and two midfielders to his squad this summer.
Rovers have to yet to officially announce the appointment of former Colin Hendry on to the coaching staff, but his presence at the club’s Austrian training camp is the clearest indication yet he will be on the staff for the coming campaign.
Meanwhile Rovers’ New Zealand striker Tim Payne is relishing the challenge ahead of him as he prepares for the forthcoming Olympics campaign.
The 18-year-old will be part of the All Whites under 23 team who face Japan in Tokyo today, as their preparations for London 2012 step up a gear.
“The past year has gone by so quickly,” Payne said. “When I think back to the start of the under 17s to where I am now and everything that’s happened, it’s a dream come true.
“Having played for the All Whites is every young Kiwi footballer’s dream so it’s been a big year for me.
“Any chance to represent New Zealand is a proud moment and going to age group World Cups is a pretty cool experience.
“Playing for the different teams in just over a year something I’ll look back on and think how lucky I was at some stages and how cool it’s been.”
Meanwhile, QPR are believed to be leading the race to sign Junior Hoilett.

This guy may not be the best but there has been a massive improvement in his play. Don't want him to go and think he will do well in the Championship
This is the problem at the moment, theres no clear gameplan from Stevie so its hard to see whose important to his lineup and who is not. glad to see see a mention of defence being a priority though, wasnt looking forward to the 5 midfield/5 strikers setup!

Just recycling money again and not putting their hands in their own pockets.
I think Petrovic could make it in The Championship if given a chance. Lets face it, who shone apart from the Yak under Kean's management last season ? Lots of under performers, he wasn't on his own.

If Nzonzi leaves we would be fools to offload Petrovic, yes he may have competition but hes unique in build and style of play for CM and if we had a manager who understood football he would deploy Petrovic in the right games & situations. I.e. when we need height and presence in the center of the park if, for example, we have to revert to longball or set piece play for particular matches.

FREE, 3rd rate player with friends to get him into the English game taking more money out of our club.
Very concerned that Shabby is our global advisor and is going after someone he last saw play 15 years ago as an 11 year old.
Maybe Wenkys should have got Gaby Logan instead, at least she may have tried to go after players we've heard of.
RIP BRFC

Another ridiculous decision, letting two 23 year olds go and bringing in a 35 year old free in their place, you are being fleeced. The asset stripping continues, Venkys are making a net profit on player sales and weakening the aquad, same as last season. Prepare for another relegation. How can a manager who said " judge me on my signings" sell them 12 months later, goodwillie and petrovic. Doesn't this highlight what a total bafoon he is to shaggy and the shonkys? Answer, they don't care as the money is rolling into town.

Evil, conniving characters buzzing around,fans the sacrificial victims and the lifeblood of the clup slowly seeping away. We need to continue to invoke Jack's great spirit and it will someday manifest itself and we will somehow arise and put all to blame deep underground (figuratively,of course !),where their shadows never again darken our world.

What a farce of a signing he has turned out to be.
This guy was plucked out for big things by our phoney imposter of a manager.
Absolute garbage that which I witnessed season last in this guys play.
Leon Best was commenting on his reasons in joining BRFC ? His words were that the Odious One would encourage and stay behind with him after training with such things as shooting practice and how to score goals ! Well, that didn't turn out to well did it !
Kean is a weasel of the worst kind, and him being in control of BRFC turns my stomach with his abject ways.
Get him out.

The key losses yet to come - on top of Yak - Nzonzi, Robbo, Hoilett, Givet, Olsson. Replaced by who exactly? Danny "move over Orr there's plenty of room up Steve's a+se" Murphy who has brought along his own stretcher, Gomes (laughable) and a failed Championship striker. And that's the business done for the season.
All the Happy Clappers who have renewed watch this space over the next few weeks. Work out the money out - money in and think - "Baaa I support the lads" Baaaa.

There's only two worthwhile contributions that Shabby Sing can make to this football club. One is sack Kean, which he cannot do, the other is use his reputation in the far East to find a buyer for this club.
Notice how Forest have today been taken over by Kuwaitis. Leeds are rumored to be on the verge of being bought by Bahrainis, Watford have been bought by wealthy Italians. Add to that the Thai investment at Leicester and the Malaysian investment at Cardiff. All these clubs will spend more money than Rovers, will have a better manager than Rovers and will have owners with ambition and determination to be successful. We have a structure from top to bottom that is riddled with failure and incompetence. Venkys-Kean-Agents-A
gnew-Shaw-Singh-Hend
ry-Anderson junior-Bruno Ribeiro. What a stellar cast that is. A collection of people who are no strangers to failure and being in a job they are not qualified to do.
Tell you what, the Trust couldn't have done a worse job at finding buyers if they'd have deliberately wanted bad owners. A choice between Venkys and Ali Syed? A big pat on the back for a thorough due diligence process which clearly exposed Venkys for what they are.

The failure of the last 18 months is solely down to the Walker's Trust selling to the wrong buyers,a naive group who employed a guy they thought would be able to do the job and he couldn't fornumerous reasons.If Jack Walker had never bought us the Walkers Trust would never had sold us and at best we would still be in the Championship with no training ground worth anything.
The point is Kean was left under a lot of pressure without any back up and noone in that sort of position could have done a good job.The fact that he is tactically inept does not mean anything to the owners because they do not understand much about the game either.
To get back to my reason for writing this is are we "true" fans of Rovers or are most of the malcontents like MP Jack Straw new supporters who just want the pride of following a Prem Club?
I believe we may get back to 8000 fans like in the good old days but these fans will be "real" fans and just interested in the team called Rovers and nothing else.

The Walkers Trust couldn't have made a worse decision if they'd put us on ebay.
Those new owners you mention though, may seem promising, but some of them will suffer the same if not worse fate of Rovers of insolvency and struggle. The fact that these foreign investors are able to own entire clubs which are part of the heritage of the town and cities where they reside is where the true criminality is.

By the way, the training ground is worth nothing to Venkys, the walker trust still owns it, it is leased to the club.
A true football supporter stands on the terracing in all weathers singing and shouting to get behind his team.
Has the "true" fan changed into a cyber critic? We get Kean Out! Venkeys out! chants every day dont we? Are the people writing it expecting to do any good reiterating it every day?
The failure of the last 18 months is solely down to the Walker's Trust selling to the wrong buyers,a naive group who employed a guy they thought would be able to do the job and he couldn't fornumerous reasons.If Jack Walker had never bought us the Walkers Trust would never had sold us and at best we would still be in the Championship with no training ground worth anything.
The point is Kean was left under a lot of pressure without any back up and noone in that sort of position could have done a good job.The fact that he is tactically inept does not mean anything to the owners because they do not understand much about the game either.
To get back to my reason for writing this is are we "true" fans of Rovers or are most of the malcontents like MP Jack Straw new supporters who just want the pride of following a Prem Club?
I believe we may get back to 8000 fans like in the good old days but these fans will be "real" fans and just interested in the team called Rovers and nothing else.

The silent majority will vote with its feet when they see which way the wind is blowing after a few games.
Whilst the idea will be anathema to the hardcore bunch of boycotters who post their Kean Out propoganda repeatedly on here I believe the vast majority of Rovers fans still want nothing more than to see their team winning games. If that means that Kean's job is safe for another season it may be that that is the price there is to pay.
It will be a blessing if there are no Kean Out chants aimed at the players as this will only lead to the further demise of what was a great Club in the not-too-distant past. The same, small number of posters will say that the ends justify the means if the result is getting rid of Kean.

It will be a blessing if there are no Kean Out chants aimed at the players as this will only lead to the further demise of what was a great Club in the not-too-distant past.

A bit of "bizarre" never hurt anybody. These pages give us a release to vent our frustrations on the lack of football. Hopefully the Olympics will help fill the void for a week or two.
Then the really serious stuff starts. You think there are conspiracies, over reaction etc. you ain't seen nothing yet.

There are such a variety of fans: probably about 15000 to be fair and whilst 80% are mainly against Keane,probably 40% absolutely cannot stand the man.This cannot continue.If 5000 fans vote with their feet then a message is given. If the manager is not then sacked, then the asset stripping arguments gain credence regardless of results . sack the jock and lets try hard to get back; but first- sack the jock,now

If it is disputable that a third division actually exists in Portugal or France, then that tells us something of the level of football they are at. League Two/Conference would be my bet. Maybe the management dream team of Kean and Borat, are targeting that calibre of player, to blood them in for our arrival at that level. Because that's where we're heading under these two clowns.
