ON THE SPOT: Put your Blackburn Rovers questions to Andy Cryer (From Lancashire Telegraph)

Hi Andy

Bearing in mind your concerns over the money being spent (transfers and debts etc) who do you think will be sold today and how much for?

Also what do you think tomorrow's team will be?

Ben - LondonRover

Just one question, "Given his track record and probably being the most disliked, (was going to say hated but as its weekend, I'm feeling generous), manager of Blackburn Rovers, why is he still in charge?"

Why don't Rovers seem to want sponsors, surely they need them to help pay the bills and it's better to have someone paying a bit less rather than having no one paying anything? Are the rumours true about Kean / Agnew not wanting them as they have been backing BRAG rather than them?
Peter, Clitheroe.

I know we have drawn one and won 2 league games. But I have been at all 3 and we have been very very average and lucky especially against Leicester. How do you feel we have played so far and if results turn really sour would you eapect Kean to be sacked seeing as Venkys seemingly want to get back up at the first attempt? Lee Walsh

Hi Andy,

What's with the sudden influx of portuguese players? I'm yet to be convinced that any are good enough for the first team perhaps with the exception of Gomes. Is this simply a continuation of improving the value of the club by signing free transfers with a few to developing them and selling them for profit at a later date?

Thanks,

John

Hi Andy

If we do sell the likes of olsson and Nzonzi how much do you think we will get for them and is it possible that they could go on loan, so we can have them back at some point.

Thomas Rossendale

Well do you think he will bring a wide man in today ?someone with pace on the wing? I personally dont think he fully understands the ethics of football as his tatics and team selection beggar belief. Do you agree that without a right winger with pace we will struggle to create chances for Rhodes?

Hi Andy,

I have heard a rumor that S. Kean is also on the transfer list ?

Could you please verify this as it would seem to be a very important issue ?

I'm unsure where I heard it, but I'm quite sure I must have been dreaming !

is it true that the asking price is £1.3 million ?

And could you please ask what is his best position is because he seems to fade in games. Very strange considering he his the most positive person ?

I'm perplexed over this and, some real answers would help my cause, and in particular this blinding headache I have.

Yours very kindly & sincerely

The Road Runner although myself I prefer cross country and the beach in St. Annes.

Thanks

Why are we here?
Where did we come from?
Where are we going?
Will we be needing sandwiches?

Just watching sky sports interview withJordan Rhodes,he came over as a very controlled and balanced young man im sure he will prove himself with BRFC good luck jordan i did say if you joined rovers i would by my season ticket and put all of keanoccihos miss dealings forcefully to the very back of my mind i have kept my word,hell cant believe i even had a warm feeling towards keans face it didnt last long though had to go and relieve myself in the loo

Andy, why are dingles so scruffy?

Why do they have 6 digits?

Why when we have the worst manager of any team in the world ever, are they still below us?

It's all very mind boggling!

Did Steve Kean know Venks were useless when he took the job, and did Venks know Steve Kean was useless?

Given that they are probably one of the most expensive teams in the division, especially going forward, why do they play negative football?

Hi Andy,
Due to our worringly lack of defensive cover especially LB & RB do you think they will buy anyone before the deadline and if so who have you heard?

Are the portugese signings being done through the SEM (Anderson) Agency based in Portugal? Does Kean recieve any payment linked to sales/signings of players? Is it true that Venkys have been trying to sell B.R.F.C. to middle eastern buyers (unsuccesfully) for some months now ? and if so for how much? Do you know the REAL reason why Nzonzi is out on loan? when he is just the type of class player we need. Does kean still think he's at risk in the badlands of Blackburn,or has his drink driving ban finished,so he no longer needs a driver to pretend to be a bodyguard? Will he be acking any more staff at Ewood or has he run out of friends to give their obs to ? Does shabby stand by his words regarding him sacking kean if he loses 3 games in a row? or is he of the same ilk as kean regarding truthfullnes and honour? Why is kean unsackable ??? By the way Mr Cryer ,some of your recent articles have been excellent,nice to have you on board ...Regards ...

Who owns Rovers???? Is it true that this issue is being investigated?

Questions for Andy? As with questions for Venky's and Kean, the issue is: Where do we start????

Hi Andy, Simple one from me,

Is Steve Kean just the Manager of BRFC or does he own any part of BRFC?

ROFL. Read the article PUBLISHED IN TOMMORROWS PAPER.

I think Andy might get 100% on the suspected transfers by that point.

Who owns Blackburn rovers, does Steve Kean and/or jerome Anderson have a financial stake in the club and if so what are the details. Why have rovers gone from being one of if not the best run club in the country to possibly one of the worst. I bet cryer hasn't the balls to ask these questions and to insist on some transparancy

I have heard that Steve Kean has a stake in Rovers but also that the major share holder is SEM and angry Anderson, who talked Venkys into front the whole thing so that no-one would ever know. It wuld explain why Kean is still in a job, Venkys vowed never to sell and there is a sudden influx of Portuguese players.

No need for Andy Cryer - I can answer that one.
.
Yes we are - The FA are investigating Rovers and already were doing so, even before the meeting with BRAG at least 2 compliance departments of the FA had infomation on Rovers and were/are actively seeking more infomation.

Also, the British govt (AKA the Sports Ministry) has now made an official complaint to the Indian govt and has asked for their help because they have given Venkys a list of questions to answer and so far Venkys have refused to do so.

As far as I am aware, BRAG, FA and the UK govt are all currently actively investigating numerous things concerning BRFC - these may/do include - ACTUAL ownership, 3rd party player ownership deals, other FA/league rule breaches, possible criminal activity (conspiricy to commit fraud, money laundering etc etc) - ie some very complex and potentially very SERIOUS allegations (thats why things seem to take for-ever - hard to prove and time-consuming, but this is also why the UK govt has got itself involved - they have vowed that "corruption in (any) sport, WILL NOT BE TOLLORATED") .

I know some people will "poo-poo" what I have just written but my infomation comes from 3 or 4 different (impeccable) sources and thats the situation (as I understand it) at this current time.

I understand (from 3 different SEPERATE sources who have all seen the 400 page BRAG document) - although I have not seen it myself, that there is DOCUMENTARY PROOF showing that SK is a 5% shareholder in the club, Venkys are majority shareholders with 60 or 65% (can't remember the exact percentage) and that JA holds the balance.

Like I said, I've not SEEN this proof with my own eyes but I have spoken to 3 seperate people on 3 seperate ocassions (all of whom I know have had access to the BRAG documentation) all of whom have said EXACTLY the same thing to me - ie what I have just written above - that VENKYS, SK and JA are all owners in the club.

Also, I understand that the FA were also in receipt of this infomation BEFORE they had the meeting with BRAG (ie whoever supplied BRAG with the proof, also passed this documentation to the proper authorities, ie the relevant FA compliance dept).

And SS is a smokescreen ?? - I don't really understand what you mean.

As far as I understand the current situ down Ewood, SS is a Venkys employee and is directly answerable to them.

SK and PA HATE SS as they now DO NOT have overall control at Ewood (as they thought they would at the begining of summer). Also, SK as lost his DIRECT access to Mrs D as this channel of comunication now goes directly through SS.

Also the 2 ownerships parties are now (and have been for approx 12 months) at loggerheaps (but are tied together in an uneasy marriage) - Venkys on one hand and SK/JA on the other.

This is most commenly/openly seen in incoming transfers (I think this is why our buying of players appears so wierd from the outside).

Basic, the Portuguese players, and C K-R are SK/JA signings - JR, LB are definately SS (Venkys do have their hands on the purse strings - they are also picking up ALL BRFC loses) and the 2 Fulham signings maybe either/both parties - hard to be sure.

All in all, given the fractions and problems behind the scenes at the club I think they've done as well as can be expected from the players in and have limited the amount of players leaving the club in this transfer window.

why do you never ask kean the questions the fans really want asking, like `do you feel your time as blackburn manager has been a success?`

Is Steve Kean just the Manager of BRFC or does he own any part of BRFC?

Everybody on here talks about their sources. Everybody knows somebody who knows somebody Its hard to believe anybody really knows anything. Afterall this lot have got away with this mess for nearly2years. If the club is being investigated, surely we can find evidence of it somewhere?

Do you think Rovers have paid over the value for Rhodes given Berbatov went for half the price?Was it a publicity stunt to win supporters back?

Why haven't Venkys sponsored the shirt to save the club from the embarrassment of having no sponsor?

What do the Walker Trustees think Jack Walker would have said of the results of their sell out to Venky's?

Do Venky's stand by Shabby's insulting comments about Kean, MGP, and David Dunn?

I tell you what chief this is just a conspiracy theory. You'll be tell us about the gunman on the grassy knoll next.

Don't believe anything you hear down the pub from people in the know

You have to compare apples with apples here

What do you think Jack Walker would have thought of the way that the so called owners have stripped anything of worth at the Club? Or of the way that the Directors and staff has been removed i one way or another and replaced by keans 'Luvvies' ? What would he also have thought of the truly appalling way that kean has mismanaged the Club to relegation in just one and a half season ? or of the insulting comments that he made about the fans spiking his drink when he was convicted of drink driving( an obvious slur ) ? or indeed of the obvious lies that he told about matters such as players injuries,players not leaving,Salgado's contract clauses, His driver now being his bodyguard,his 50 letters a day saying he was doing a good job etc etc. etc. etc. Would kean now apologise for the above ??? i think not .... Harley..B..Holland/B
lackburn .....

Could you ask Kean :- if he has any honour at all why he doesn't resign knowing that it is in the best interests of the club. Thousands more would renew their STs and corporate clients would return.
