No progress in West Ham's chase of Blackburn Rovers star
8:20am Saturday 19th January 2013 in News
WEST Ham United boss Sam Allardyce admits there has been no progress in their pursuit of Blackburn Rovers’ defender Martin Olsson.
Allardyce said no “official bid” has yet been submitted for the Swedish international but the Lancashire Telegraph understands an offer in the region of £4million has already been rejected.
Rovers are determined to keep Olsson at Ewood Park, with the club holding out for a fee believed to be nearer £7million.

Anyway recently Shenny Singh`s silence has been deafening , lost your charisma Shebby ? or have you been told by the P.R. people to stay out of the limelight , your presence causes hostility.
And another one who is a silent as a wee mouse is Hendry ,in the past always on the media talking up all the previous managers and talking up his new best friend Shebby Singh , I suppose if you get demoted from defensive coach to 2nd assistant to the reserve team manager no one is much interested in your comments, Anyway thankfully along with Singh ,Hendry has also disappeared from the spotlight , the newly appointed P/R company probably told him Blackburn Rovers don`t want a granny pension robber and a woman beater ,gambler ,swindler speaking on behalf of BlackbunRovers.
Good luck M.A. today , a few wins and you can start making more positive changes at Ewood , a few wins and you can kick the backsides of Singh and Hendry out of the club forever.

It doesn't matter what the headline is you just do nothing but go on and on and on about Hendry, Are you ill? Do you need medication, your obsession with Hendry is becoming unhealthy. You come on here telling us what colour underpants he has on, you are a stalker, a bunny boiler.

5m would have been "you can have him but if you pay more than he's worth".
lets see what the outcome is at the end of the month shall we before getting all into a lather about it.
Seeing that the end of the month is but a fortnight away, its not too long to wait.
And a question to Smelly and the other neigh-saying horse whisperers:
You demand apologies from Venky's for lies and your accusations of corruption (Which we're STILL waiting for Mr "Suck-up-to-Shebby Mullan" and company btw), but what about your apologies for the slander and libel that never seems to come to fruition, that you happily throw around, safely behind your keyboards?
As a small example, in keeping with this articles headline, will you be apologising if Olsson is still here in two weeks time? or is it only rich benefactors who should have to apologise?
To add to that, Singh and the Rao's have apologised publicly and even shown remorse - regardles of whether you believe its real or not.

You`re obviously just a wee laddie that spends all day playing computer games , anyone you disagree with is a nutter /stalker/ you should go and get your pay packet from your masters and go and buy a new play station,because you have no original comments at all to make on football or Blackburn Rovers ,your comments you make are only insulting decent /worried Rovers supporters ,you make them on behalf of the people that pay you,your pittance , get a life you little moron .
If you think we should all allow people to behave dishonestly and we should not bring it out on the open or we should never make a comment about it ,that means any rascal can get away with dishonesty and should never ever be mentioned.
People in football and/or in media make plenty money they should not have to behave dishonestly nor dishonourably.
Through these comments pages the average man in the street can view their feelings , YOU on the other hand are just a canniving paid wee saboteur of peoples honest comments, go and do something useful instead of sitting in front of your computer all day every day, week after week month after month go and get some fresh air , your room must STINK.

All football clubs sell players regardless of how high or low they sit in the League's.
All I would ask for is that the value of Olsson is received ?
Someone once famously stated:
Some will rob you with a six gun - others with a fountain pen.................
...
I have enough believe that ours will receive the correct amount, should it happen, for Olsson with these owners(warts and all)
I expect BRFC to play hard balled b'strds with those attempting to rob us, and exploit our current plight.
I may despair at times with the beloved, but my believe is unshakeable that the best will be done for it - warts and all !
Appleton stated; Those who want to be here - great. Those that don't - on your frikking bike !
Good enough.
T'up the rovers and to hell with the rest !

What happened? did you get banned or did that politician suing the Twitter accounts get you worried that Hendry might come after you?
if you're so bold to take on Hendry, why not do it openly where he can see you, instead of littering LT articles with your scandals and boring the crap out of everyone?

I guess most of us have to keep believing, and a supporter of the team is not necessarily a supporter of any regime.
We can't control much of what is happening off the field, but we still need to get behind the team and continue being the "twelfth man" on the field.
Hoping for a great first win for the new manager and a cracking game to boot!
CoYB!

I support the team on the field and the manager who organises them, I don't give a flying hoot who is handing out bibs and organising a hot pie contract with Hollands, I'm just not interested.

I know I may get shot down for this but Burnley have two good fullbacks and they are quite steady both going forward and back. The bonus being as they are trying to buy their outside toilet back, they would probably sell their left back for a packet of cheese and onion crisps and a strong coffee.

Today could very well be a defining day in our long and fine history ?
New manager, owners present, and hopefully a bumper crowd (current circumstances accepted)
I would hope to see the real nature of the good folk of Blackburn and it's surroundings putting aside the trouble and strive we ALL have had to endure thus doing what we do best, and sing loud and hard for the adorned B&W shirt proudly displaying the crest helping the lads onto a cracking game, as you suggest ?
Here's to you pal :)
