JR: what do you mean boss?
SK: Jordan has big Bristols That's what I laid out £8 million quid for you so that I would no longer be the biggest tit in Blackburn. You don't even look a bit like her.

I really can't be arsed with people like you, have you never made mistakes? I am sure you have, as I have, however I pride myself on correcting them ASAP. Venky's have made huge mistakes in the past, can you really criticise what they are doing now? Keen is not the man to lead us but he will be gone in the next 4 weeks and we will be back!! Be positive FFs, enjoy your beers tonight as I am mine.

We are in a catch 22 situation as most of our fans want him out but not many will want to lose against Leeds because deep down they know it will take more losses than that to get rid of him,
I think we will improve as once on the pitch players can ignore his silly ramblings and play their own game.

The Portugese captures are a concern as I thought we had finally realsised that a player's ability comes before who the player's agent is.
The other obvious concern is Kean's ability to pick/organise/delive
r a team that is going top storm this league.If only we could get rid and hire a decent manager then I would be really optimistic.

Players, management and owners will come and go but that will not alter the fact that BRFC is still my club and as been since my first visit in 1966.
When the bold baboon does part company with us it looks like we have now got a very thin backbone that a new manager can work on, if a new proven manager brings his own backroom staff in and we get rid of the pretend genesis who are hovering in the background then I feel we can become a Premiership club again.
My view is that Venky's no longer enjoy owning this toy but being Indian they would feel shame if sold on for less than they give, once back in the Prem we will be sold for what they paid along with the money they have removed a tidy profit for them
Roades is not yet a top level goal scorer however with the deal being 3 million down payment and the rest to follow in stages Venky's still have plenty of funds remaining to prop up there chicken shacks.
KFC should offer a sponsorship deal for the shirts,

Dg666 – The useless twonk that (mis)manages our club is called Kean not Keen. And where’s your sense of humour?

I'll agree that twelve new signings seems like good business but let's not forget that we've also lost three of our most talented players from last season in Yakubu, Hoilett and N'Zonzi. Here's my take on the players we've bought during this transfer window. Apologies in advance if some of my points seem negative, I'm just being realistic. Also it's quite lengthy so scroll past if you're not interested in my views, I won't be offended as I won't know.
Danny Murphy: Still a very technically gifted player but he's already shown that he's finding it hard to keep up with the run of play. Towards the end of last season he was being substituted after 60-70 minutes, most games. I fear he'll burn out even earlier this season if Kean insists on starting him every game. Even more worrying, Kean has been quoted as saying that he wants the other players to pass to Murphy, even if he's being marked.
Leon Best: While quite a few Newcastle United fans said he could do a job for us, given the chance, I still had my doubts. Mainly because of his injury record but also because his goals to game ratio wasn't great either. However, he looked great in pre-season and I thought he might have found his perfect 'fit'. Alas, my primary concern was realised when he was ruled out for six months.
Nuno Gomes: Like a lot of fans I had mixed feelings about this signing. Everybody said that he was a great player, with 'was' being the operative word. Like Best he looked good in pre-season but his competitive debut wasn't so much one to forget, rather one to try and remember. Remember if he was on the pitch that is. However, his substitute appearance against Hull should've earned him the Man of the Match award and his performance against Leicester was one of the few positives to take from a poor team effort, albeit a victorious one.
Fabio Nunes: Has had a bright start to his Rovers career, although there is still plenty of room for improvement. Although he was described as "one for the future", being given the #7 shirt tells me he will feature a lot this season.
Paulo Jorge: Described by Kean as a young Gennaro Gattuso, because of his looks. Probably one of his weirdest observations to date, not to mention way off the mark. He's looked okay when he's come on and although I don't expect him to start many games I do expect we'll see him come on for Murphy quite a lot as the season progresses.
Edinho Junior: Another "one for he future" who's already been thrown in at the deep end. Unlike Nunes though he doesn't seem ready. Kean's decision to start him, ahead of Goodwillie, against Leicester City and MK Dons just goes to show that the manager still has a chip on his shoulder regarding the transfer of his compatriot.
Dickson Etuhu: A very strong player who's also had a mixed start to the season. Didn't seem to know how to pass the ball forward against Ipswich but has since put himself about a bit and probably been the main reason why our two lacklustre performances at home have still earned us six points. He's conceded a lot of fouls though so he needs to sharpen up that side of his game. Could prove to be our most important signing of the summer.
Colin Kazim-Richards: Primarily a right-winger, he's occasionally played as a striker and, despite his own doubts about his ability up front, it seems that's the position he's been signed for. He's scored two goals in two games, although neither could be classed as goals that only a striker can score. However, unless Kean changes his formation the arrival of Rhodes could see CKR switched to the right with Gomes or Dunn sat behind the lone striker.
Jordan Rhodes: Let's make no bones about it, we've paid far too much for this player. Fortunately, a lot of it is to be paid over four years so it shouldn't hurt us too much. He is a very talented player though and if he continues to progress at his current rate there could be a lot of money to be be made should a big club come calling. I'm looking forward to seeing him in a Rovers shirt but, as I've already alluded to, Kean needs to change the formation if we're to get the best out of him.
Grzegorz Sandomierski: I know nothing about this player other than he was in Poland's Euro 2012 squad. Therefore I can't comment on whether he's serious competition for Robinson or whether he's just a replacement for Bunn. Even then I'm not sure if he'll be ahead of Kean in the pecking order.
Diogo Rosado: Another player I've heard very little about so I'll reserve judgement until I've seen him play.
Nuno Henrique: As with the two other 'deadline day' signings, I don't know a lot about him. However, with Kean preferring Desperate Dann over Hanley who, in my opinion is now a better defender, I'm not sure if we'll get to see much of Henrique. A large part of me hopes he's like another Samba though, and ousts Dann from the starting XI.
Bruno Ribeiro: Okay, I know he's not a new signing but seeing as he's only made his debut this season I think he deserves an honorary mention. Why? Because he looks bloody brilliant, that's why! He really does have the ability, and back-story, to become a cult hero at Rovers.
There's are only my opinions, I don't pretend to be an expert. I only wish I could've added my thoughts about a new manager too.
