Olsson ready to leave Ewood
7:37am Wednesday 25th July 2012 in Football
MARTIN Olsson has reiterated his desire to quit Blackburn Rovers this summer as a host of Premier League clubs begin to circle for his signature.
Sources close to the Swedish international have told the Lancashire Telegraph the player informed boss Steve Kean of his wishes at a meeting last week – having already handed in a transfer request earlier in the summer.
Kean insisted earlier last week that only French midfielder Steven Nzonzi had told him he didn’t want to be a part of Rovers’ Championship challenge, but the Telegraph understands Olsson has joined him on the ‘want away list’.
The versatile left-sided player has yet to rejoin Rovers for pre season having undergone a minor groin operation after competing for Sweden in Euro 2012 in June.
He is expected back in training within a fortnight but is hoping to back in the Premier League in time for the big kick off on August 18.
Rovers have yet to receive any official offers for Olsson, who is contracted to Rovers until summer of 2015, but is understood Southampton, Sunderland and Stoke are all monitoring his situation with interest.
Sources close to Olsson say he fears that staying at Ewood Park would harm his international hopes and is also unhappy at having to take a 40 per cent wage cut due to Premier League relegation.
Rovers would not stand in the player’s way if he continues to seek an exit but are understood to want in excess of £5million for the 24-year-old.
Boss Kean is understood to be interested in Rangers’ Lee Wallace should Olsson leave this summer, but Rovers remain hopeful the Swede will remain in East Lancashire.
Meanwhile Rovers’ global advisor Shebby Singh is due to meet Nzonzi’s agent this morning to discuss the player’s future.
Nzonzi’s agent, his father, has already told Rovers he wants out this summer, and has been frozen out of the first team’s pre-season campaign to date.
The club has yet to receive any official interest in the 23-year-old and, with Rovers looking for up to £10million for the midfielder, his future remains uncertain.
Rovers continue their Championship preparations with a pre-season friendly at League Two Rochdale tonight, kick off 7.30.
Rovers’ summer signings are all expected to feature with their season opener at Ipswich now less than a month away.
Meanwhile the Blackburn Rovers Action Group are meeting the Football League today as ‘phase four’ of their efforts to have the Venky’s regime investigated.
BRAG did meet Singh again yesterday though and believe progress is being made as they look for a brighter future.
Chairman Glen Mullan, said: “We have met the sports minister, the FA, the Premier League and now the Football League. It is down to them now to make sure they are monitoring things closely.
“Shebby Singh is a breath of fresh air though and we are really pleased with the progress. He has shown a willingness to listen and to be educated about the supporters’ opinions.”
BRAG are also running ‘affordable travel’ to all Rovers’ away games next season and tickets can be purchased from the Brown Cow or from the Action Group committee.

£10 mil Nzonzi, £5 mil Olsen and probably another £5 mil for Hoilett.
Seeing the club is now " debt free " it will be interesting to see what happens to all the money.
They must think they've hit thy jackpot.

,In August 2006, Wallace was charged with a firearms offence. Three months later he admitted being in possession of an airgun and was fined £1,500. In May 2009, he was arrested and charged with breach of the peace outside Edinburgh nightclub "Lava & Ignite" after allegedly threatening to shoot the doormen. However, this charge was later dropped and he was fined £1,100 for shouting abuse at the bouncers.
Should get on well with Goodwillie.

One thing is certain, come 31st August they will have received far more for outgoing players than they will have spent on new ones!
Who knows what sort of team we will be able to put out then.
Perhaps it will be the Championship's first ever all Portuguese eleven!

In June 2008, Goodwillie was arrested after assaulting a man in a Stirling nightclub, which resulted in a £250 fine. Goodwillie was involved in a similar incident in September 2009 when he was arrested after a nightclub doorman was knocked unconscious. Two months later, Goodwillie received a £200 fine for his part in the incident.Dundee United manager Peter Houston placed Goodwillie under a "house arrest" scheme to avoid further trouble.
In 2012, the player was convicted of assault following an incident involving fellow players John Friel and Danny Swanson at a late night takeaway in Glasgow in 2010. At Glasgow Sheriff Court on 30 April 2012 he was sentenced to a 12 month probation order and to carry out 80 hours of unpaid work..

Dann will probably end up somewhere like Southampton and make it a hat trick of relegations with different clubs in consecutive years - that surely will be a record to be proud of.
I hold Kean massively responsible for the decline of our club, however these players have to take some responsibility too. At least Hoilett honoured the contract he signed - even if he did disappear at the first possible opportunity.

So Givet is unhappy with a pay cut, Olsson will have to take a 40% pay cut, Dann wants out too. These players signed contracts that would almost certainly have given them a pay rise at the time, and they were happy with that. Now they are worried because they got us relegated which means that they wont have quite the same amount of money coming in for playing in a lower league.
Does any body else see anything wrong with that?

On numerous occassions costing us goals in big games, which ultimately led to our relegation.

Rovers would be better off with an academy player at the back than Dann!

Deep down Steve (the man who cannot win football matches) Kean knows his days at Blackburn Rovers are numbered.
Not only does Kean face a fans rebellion that won’t go away, he now has doubters within the Venky camp, none more so than Venkatesh Rao who is not happy at all that Kean survived his May meeting with the Rao family.
It is thought that brother Balaji Rao is of the same opinion that Kean should of gone in May but Balaji is keeping a close council.
Venjatesh and Balaji attempted to appoint a new manager to replace Kean last season with around 14 games Premiership games left to play. It is thought that, the manager concerned was Dave Jones formerly of Cardiff City, Wolves and Southampton. Jones however wisely declined the brothers offer knowing there where fractions within the Rao family. Jones instead joined Milan Mandaric and his £ millions at Sheffield Wednesday and duly got them promoted to the Championship.
Venkatesh is particular annoyed with himself for letting their plans to get rid of Kean escape onto the world wide Twitter network giving his sister Anuradha Desai the perfect excuse to keep Kean who was unaware of the brothers plot to rid themselves of him.
For some reason Mrs Desai is determined to be proven right over her continued support for Kean (typical woman) sadly she is going to be disillusioned once again.
Kean for his part has started to make contingency plans actively seeking another managers position with the help of his mentor Charlie Nicholas and agent Jerome (the man who ruined Blackburn Rovers) Anderson.
Kean’s name has been touted around every job going in the English top two divisions as well as countries abroad. Kean has been doing his own networking by being seen at as many games as possible towards at the end of last season and turning on the Kean ‘charm’ to various Chairman’s and Directors. Kean has cast himself the unfortunate victim of a miss managed club under the Venky’s starved of transfer funds, having players loaded onto him he did not want and the innocent victim of a unprovoked fans rebellion hoping to convince some Chairman somewhere to give him the job of managing their club.
Kean has said in private that the only thing he likes about Blackburn Rovers and the Rao family is the 1.3 million the pay him per annum and he is not going to give that up lightly. Kean is no more than a jobbing coach, used to a modest salary in comparison and he knows that he has HIT THE JACK POT. He also knows he has the worst record of any Blackburn Rovers manager in history, he also knows that any other manager at any other club, especially given the fans revolt, would by now have been long gone. Kean has played the blame game with Anuradha Desai, blaming everyone and everybody bar himself for the Rovers demise.
Kean knows he is on borrowed time hence his eagerness to find another position.
Last season, Kean promised Anuradha Desai a top ten finish with no problem at all, what transpired was a dire season so bad it defies description and it will be repeated again this season with Kean in charge unless Kean manages to manipulate the escape he craves for.
WE WISH HIM WELL
Reg.
Footnote:
If Blackburn Rovers occupy a top three position in the Championship on Christmas Day 2012 I will close down this website never to be heard of again. On the condition that Anuradha Desai will sack Kean if Blackburn Rovers are out of the top six. Unfortunately I fear another relegation battle.

Steve Kean's takeover of Ewood Park is almost complete (as reported on this website 16th May 2012) following a bloodless close season coupe.Long gone is his arch enemy former dep chief executive Paul Hunt and in his place (with a different title, Venky’s like their titles) is Keans bosom buddy former press officer Paul Agnew (picture above, right)Steve ( the man who cannot win football matches) Kean has even managed to split the Rao family with Venkatesh Rao side lined from any further decision Making by his sister the all powerful Anuradha Desai.Following Venkatesh’s desire to have Kean sacked and even announcing to the world via Australian cricketer Brett Lee's twitter page this was about to happen. Had Venkatesh not taken the Venky sponsored Lee into his confidence, Kean would now have been long gone, but once the thoughtless Lee announced his confidential June conversation to the world in stepped Anuradha Desai to kill the plan stone dead, Kean having no knowledge at the time of Venkatesh’s intentions.Kean’s current position of strength follows his ruthless plotting , which is well documented, against ex chairman John Williams, ex chief executive Tom Finn, Manager Sam Allardyce and assistant manager John Jenson.It is well documented that in February 2011, Williams offered a ultimatum to Anuradha Desai, KEEP KEAN OR ME. Unfortunately Desai made a disastrous choice and we all know the circumstances.Kean still needs to get rid of one or two enemies still lurking in the corridors at Ewood Park, no one makes enemies quite like Kean. To divulge their names at this stage would be to put them in a precarious position. We the fans have already lost our main ally Paul Hunt and we don’t want to lose the few that are left.Whether newly appointed managing director Derek Shaw ( picture above left ) and newly appointed operations director ( whatever that is !) Paul Anew (picture above) will fall under Kean’s propaganda spell remains to be seen. With season ticket sales at a low time low, already alarm bells are ringing.Steve ( the man who cannot win football matches ) Kean also has firmly in his sights Lancashire Telegraph journalist Andy Cryer, the one journalist in the country who has seen through the scheming, lying and conniving Kean. Kean has vented his anger publicly around the bar at the Blackbull pub in Old Langho, near Rovers Brockhall training complex against Cryer’s campaign to have him removed as Blackburn Rovers manager. You would of thought after the infamous Hong Kong Bar video Kean would be a little more discreet when pursuing his favourite pass time of visiting the pub. Kean will not rest until Lancashire Telegraph editor Kevin Young removes Cryer from covering the Rovers. Kean may even refuse to cooperate with Cryer. Long may editor Young resist the pressure and keep Cryer in situ, we the fans need his voice.

Boss Kean is understood to be interested in Rangers’ Lee Wallace should Olsson leave this summer,....Well he has the right credentials.
,In August 2006, Wallace was charged with a firearms offence. Three months later he admitted being in possession of an airgun and was fined £1,500. In May 2009, he was arrested and charged with breach of the peace outside Edinburgh nightclub "Lava & Ignite" after allegedly threatening to shoot the doormen. However, this charge was later dropped and he was fined £1,100 for shouting abuse at the bouncers.
Should get on well with Goodwillie.
In June 2008, Goodwillie was arrested after assaulting a man in a Stirling nightclub, which resulted in a £250 fine. Goodwillie was involved in a similar incident in September 2009 when he was arrested after a nightclub doorman was knocked unconscious. Two months later, Goodwillie received a £200 fine for his part in the incident.Dundee United manager Peter Houston placed Goodwillie under a "house arrest" scheme to avoid further trouble.
In 2012, the player was convicted of assault following an incident involving fellow players John Friel and Danny Swanson at a late night takeaway in Glasgow in 2010. At Glasgow Sheriff Court on 30 April 2012 he was sentenced to a 12 month probation order and to carry out 80 hours of unpaid work..

We both remember the low times at the Rovers, or at least what we thought were low times but on reflection, compared to today's goings on were just minor blips in the scheme of things. At that time we could never envisage how low, low meant. But we can now.
Another defeat on the cards tonight?
But it is only a friendly warm up pre season match so the result doesn't matter. Or so Kean will tell us tomorrow.

Thats all we expect Shabby, just give him 5 or 6 games and then SACK KEAN. You will be a hero.
Is it less than 10 from 15? Or is it, 15 from 15 to ensure he is sacked?
If it is the former although many will not agree I fear that it is quite possible he could hit this. Don't get me wrong, I do not see his 'qualities' actually sufficient to do this, but it is not beyond the bounds of possibility.
I would though say he will not finish this season with us promoted, for me its mid level / 9/10th place

Sorry for my furious rant but after seeing another player asking to leave it does grind you down, however you must agree the Porkys that gave been told by Kean and Co are to numerous to mention, my thoughts on more players leaving have been posted by me on many an occasion and so far it unfortunately it's all coming true, like I said it "looks" like Robinson and Givet will be next, not fact but I would not bet against it.
Taking all this into acount and the mixed messages coming from Ewood is it any wonder so many rumours go around, Kean saying we want to keep all the players and Shabby saying we won't keep any player who does not want stay, well obviously ALL the players who want to earn a living will want to go or take a 40% paycut, what would you do?

We all know that donut and the chicken farmers are 90% responsible for the relegation of our club. BUT lets be honest, the players didn't do themselves any favours either. There should be something in place, set by the FA, that if a player/team gets relegated, he has to stick with that club for one season, regardless of contract length. Its alright players coming out and saying "i want to play in premiership", well if you had preformed week in, week out, then you still would be. They can go back to the premiership and leave the club and its fans in the championship, and not have a second thought. Maybe this way they will!!!
.
witness the likes of tevez, barton, ferdinand brothers, rooney, modric van ****, nasri, many of the chelsea squad last season - but notable contribution from terry, suraez, bloke who walked on on sunderland, lee cattermole gareth bale, carrick and richards (with england) that list is without even trying. iam sure that there were similar names at virtually every premier club last season.
.
it is still the manager's job to sort out the malcontents and make sure they play as a team.....that applies as much to rovers as it does to manchester city, and our manager (as was revealed in hunt's letter to the daft woman) that kean had lost the dressing room before christmas - meaning we had to go through 5 months of a 9 month season with players who had no belief in the bloke who was telling them what to do and how to do it....of course there was orr and dunny on kean's side.
Wrt your overall observations, is it not a fact that the higher up the leagues you look, the more and more of player 'attitude' comes into it.?
None moreso than the prem., and we all know the reason why: Too much money and placed upon 'pedestals', like some Olympian god.
Since player power + agent power became the norm., what else can we expect.

Hi Givet82, I think a lot of the players last season were as demoralised as the fans were....No more so than Robinson.
It's very difficult for anyone to give their best in those circumstances. The look of despair on Robinson's face at the Blackburn End said it all.
It must have been like tupping a brick wall trying to play under Kean's instructions and tactics.
Don't get me wrong, Robinson and others had a bad season, but under the circumstances with an idiot in charge ????

Hi Morst! Hope you are enjoying your summer.
Then again how can we enjoy anything whilst we continue to see the wilful destruction of the Rovers.
We both remember the low times at the Rovers, or at least what we thought were low times but on reflection, compared to today's goings on were just minor blips in the scheme of things. At that time we could never envisage how low, low meant. But we can now.
Another defeat on the cards tonight?
But it is only a friendly warm up pre season match so the result doesn't matter. Or so Kean will tell us tomorrow.
Kean Out!!!!

Still ST sales must be bad given the constant panic communications from the club - funny how they can communicate when they want your cash but not the other 11 months of the year? Oh I am an old synic!

This situation will be made worse with the predicted loss of income from gate receipts as some fans stay away next season - not to mention of course the huge black hole in income caused by the loss of the TV revenue .
Clearly the owners have made a complete hash of just about everything they have done since they took over but the one thing they cannot do is to allow the Company to trade beyond its means.
Until such time as gate receipts equal running costs (and I suspect that that will never happen at Ewood given the small catchment area) Rovers will always have to generate income from player sales. We will always have to receive more than we can spend in the transfer market.
It might be convenient to the conspiracy theorists to imagine otherwise but that just does not wash.

speedie_rovers_legenKean wants a team full of mincing portugeezers in their pink hot pants. He figures if they roll around on the floor we may get more set pieces this season. Murphy is quite a dead ball specialist so the more rolling and mincing, the better. Also I believe Kean Out in portugese means you are the greatest, we love you. Venkys out means, we're gonna win the league. and Feck off you bald nomark bstard means, champions league here we come.

All these players from portugal would have been snapped up by big clubs in the prem if they were half decent , they will be well out of their depth in this leauge.
We should have been signing players from the championship and div 1 not portugese players.

We all know that donut and the chicken farmers are 90% responsible for the relegation of our club. BUT lets be honest, the players didn't do themselves any favours either. There should be something in place, set by the FA, that if a player/team gets relegated, he has to stick with that club for one season, regardless of contract length. Its alright players coming out and saying "i want to play in premiership", well if you had preformed week in, week out, then you still would be. They can go back to the premiership and leave the club and its fans in the championship, and not have a second thought. Maybe this way they will!!!

Boss Kean is understood to be interested in Rangers’ Lee Wallace should Olsson leave this summer,....Well he has the right credentials.
,In August 2006, Wallace was charged with a firearms offence. Three months later he admitted being in possession of an airgun and was fined £1,500. In May 2009, he was arrested and charged with breach of the peace outside Edinburgh nightclub "Lava & Ignite" after allegedly threatening to shoot the doormen. However, this charge was later dropped and he was fined £1,100 for shouting abuse at the bouncers.
Should get on well with Goodwillie.

witness the likes of tevez, barton, ferdinand brothers, rooney, modric van ****, nasri, many of the chelsea squad last season - but notable contribution from terry, suraez, bloke who walked on on sunderland, lee cattermole gareth bale, carrick and richards (with england) that list is without even trying. iam sure that there were similar names at virtually every premier club last season.
.
it is still the manager's job to sort out the malcontents and make sure they play as a team.....that applies as much to rovers as it does to manchester city, and our manager (as was revealed in hunt's letter to the daft woman) that kean had lost the dressing room before christmas - meaning we had to go through 5 months of a 9 month season with players who had no belief in the bloke who was telling them what to do and how to do it....of course there was orr and dunny on kean's side.

We are getting really fit now, I think we should be pretty good come the Ipswich game. I am brimming with confidence.

We needed pre-season games against teams we could beat in order to boost confidence. Who thought that playing Rochdale was a good idea?

Can't wait for his excuses for tonight's result.
Only a preseason warm up.
Lads building up their fitness
Results don't count at this stage.
Grass was a bit long.
Jet lagged from the travelling all the way to Rochdale.
Etc etc etc.

Good to hear BRAG saying that the Shebmeister is 'like a breath of fresh air' as that is exactly what is needed at Ewood now. Someone who will listen (and hopefully act) regards some of the fans concerns.
It is now common knowledge that BRAG and BRSIT have talked with the country's top footballing bodies and that the fans groups must have something serious on record concerning the Clubs administrative activities.......so maybe they are going to take the lead and act now. Only one act though will save the season and that is to sack Kean. Now.

They've spent £3 million and now it's payback time.
£10 mil Nzonzi, £5 mil Olsen and probably another £5 mil for Hoilett.
Seeing the club is now " debt free " it will be interesting to see what happens to all the money.
They must think they've hit thy jackpot.
One thing is certain, come 31st August they will have received far more for outgoing players than they will have spent on new ones!
Who knows what sort of team we will be able to put out then.
Perhaps it will be the Championship's first ever all Portuguese eleven!
I've said it time and again, nothing's changed, the lunatics are still running the asylum. It just amazes me when people can't see it!

They need to meet the fans reps and listen to the concerns. The only thing that makes people like the Venky's listen is a lack of money through the gate. Action speaks louder than words. no point moaning on here or going to the ground shouting Kean out or dangling banners, It means nothing. Keep away. It won't take long before things change.
