Singh sets the agenda at Blackburn Rovers

RUNNING THE SHOW Blackburn Rovers’ global advisor Shebby Singh at Ewood Park yesterday RUNNING THE SHOW Blackburn Rovers’ global advisor Shebby Singh at Ewood Park yesterday

Blackburn Rovers new global advisor Shebby Singh has said Steve Kean’s job is safe for now – but has warned everyone at the club ‘action will be taken’ if targets are not met.

Singh, 51, has revealed he will run the club for owners Venky’s from Ewood Park and vowed to win the battle ahead with the fans and other critics.

The former Malaysian international had called for Kean to be sacked in his previous role as a football pundit just a month ago, in Singapore newspaper ‘The New Paper’, but has now said everyone starts with a ‘clean slate’.

He also told the Lancashire Telegraph he was hopeful of signing two players within the next week after insisting transfer funds had been made available to Steve Kean.

The Lancashire Telegraph understand Fulham’s veteran midfielder Danny Murphy is one of those targets, with an offer now believed to have been made to him and Kean due to meet him imminently.

Singh also assured supporters there were “zero” financial problems at the club with all debts cleared by his bosses.

Singh’s column in May has raised questions among Rovers fans after he said “looking from a football pundit’s point of view, Steve Kean is obviously not the man to lead Blackburn Rovers back to the Premiership.”

But now, Singh is ready to give Kean a chance.

He said: “What happened is over and at this moment in time, Steve is the manager. He will start pre season training.

“As with everyone else involved at the club there will be ‘keeping eyes’ put into place and everyone will have to meet set targets.

“It is the collective. We can take the short cut and say it is an individual failure but the way I and the Venky’s look at things is saying it is a collective failure.

“It is a clean slate for everyone. In my capacity as a football pundit I said that about Steve, that was my job, now as a global advisor I have different responsibilities.

“My job as a football pundit was to be critical. Now my job is to be constructive. It is essential Blackburn Rovers get back into the Premier League but I won’t set a timeline. That will put pressure on.”

Singh has described himself as “the eyes and ears” for Venky’s and insists he has the jurisdiction to make big decisions - something that has been lacking at the club in the past.

Colin Hendry is also still expected to join the backroom staff, although he awaits a formal offer, and former Liverpool, Leeds and Leicester man Ian Silvester has been confirmed as club secretary.

Singh said: “For me it is the biggest challenge of my life. There is a lot we need to prove. It is very important for us to regroup. Not just the club but the fans.

“From the outside looking in you could feel the emotions of the fans last season. That is not a good thing and is a battle that will a long time to win.

“I can say the club has got absolutely zero financial problems. Whatever was inherited has been cleared.There is no debt.

“Transfer funds are available and within the next one week we will have at least two signings. We are very advanced in our negotiations and talks.”

If you want to win over the fans sack Kean NOW, then we can all start with a clean sheet.

If he stays as manager you will NEVER win over the majority of the fans.

Murphy and best. If that's the two both will be great signings
Also think we will see a new player in goodwille .He's made for the championship style of football best and goodwille will be a good partnership .

Shabby was a pundit presumably paid by tv company...hence Follow the trend Kean out.......shabby is now an employee of the Venky's hence give Kean a chance...more concerning is Andy Cryer's thoughts in today's paper also asking us to give the regime a chance....what's that all about? Has he too been corrupted?

He didn't tell Cryer anything, he's just written down for the LET what Singh sais on Skysports!!!!!!!!!

Seems the other signing is going to be Leon Best from Newcastle. Apparently they accepted Rovers bid of 2 million for him and its up to the player to agree terms with the Rovers. Personally I cant see him coming and dropping down a league, and now that this news is out that Best is available then other prem teams will surely come in for him. Got to admit he would be a cracking signing though.

Well, its a forceful statement putting himself at the front. Now let's hope that he keeps to his word and brings fans with him. At least we now know who is supposed to be running the show - don't we?

10:01am Thu 21 Jun 12

He has't got a bloody clue!!!!!!!
Doesn't know how much Kean is hated and now he has revealed he's been a a Venkys employee for 3 yrs he's joined the hate list as well.
When will this mightmare end, just when we thought it couldn't get any worse they reveal Chevvy Singh

blimey how much more spin can these people come out with before even the minority of fans get that it is all bull and no substance...

As for Danny Murphy signing somehow going to improve our chances of promotion.... isnt this supposed to be the most physically demanding league in the world and more noted for fitness than skills... !!

As much as I really do hope I am wrong... there has been so many lies that until I start witnessing some real improvements and honesty from these people I will not believe them.

"Transfer funds are available and within the next one week we will have at least two signings. We are very advanced in our negotiations and talks.”

How many time have we heard this, but if they do manage to sign Murphy and Best i suppose its better than what they did last season buying rubbish foriegn players who looked good on a DVD like Petrovic and Ribero.

Lies lies and more lies

Kean got Fulham promoted - lies

Kean is not the man to take BRFC back to the PL - lies

Clean slate my backside, just more lies

Boycott us still on Mr Singh until you take the neccacery action from day one,

Sack the drunk driver

Sack the liar who told the police I have not had a drink

Sack the drunk who abused a previous BRFC manager who is likeley to sue BRFC

Sack the liar who said we WON'T get relegated

This manager has had enough slates wiped clean, so do the right thing Mr Sihgn and just get rid of him, it's your number one priority.

The fans are well passed the point of no return (no pun intended).
Only the dismissal of Kean will start to heal the wounds inflicted on us by the Venky's and even that only goes part way towards what we want. We know we are not going to get rid of this regime overnight. But the boost to morale would be enormous, if they would only see sense and get rid of Kean. I am sure even the players would be relieved and they might start to believe that with a proper manager we could even get out of this division at the first time of asking. A big ask I know but any hope is better than none.

10:14am Thu 21 Jun 12

Getting the signings in early is the only way we are going to keep some of the better players we already have, but they have to be the right players. The likes of Robinson, Olsson(s), Hanley, Lowe, Peders, Rochina could stay if they thought we had a chance of going up and were not just going to float around mid table.

Singhs interview yesterday claimed kean will be under more pressure than ever this season,more than last season but then contradicts himself there is no time line for success as it will only put pressure on kean. How long has he got to get BRFC back in the PL 12,24, 36months.Looks like Singh has learned the venky bullsh*t bible very well

At last some communication from within the club, even if it is Venky's version of comical Ali, wipe the slate clean, we start here, new signings, we have no debt etc etc etc.
Look mate we've heard it all before, and on far too many occasions.
Just do something first, and talk about it after. Thats all we want. Honesty, HONESTY, the truth, not Dan Browns version of events. We want honesty, facts, action and communication after you've done something worthy of judgement.

the last year and a half have been poor, when i was hoping for so much more. however, i am not one for absolutes. i personally feel kean has been poor, but i am not a manager or chief exec, so recognise that i am less experienced than those i would be critical of. and it is fair to say there have been some bizarre circumstances to deal with, so it may be unfair of us to judge his management without that broader context.
venky's too have been really poor - inexcusably so in the case of communication. so i feel we are at a point where we have two directions of travel from which we can hope to rebuild
a) make wholesale changes to the ownership and management structure. this is largely out of the fans' control as venky's do not seem inclined to sell or dispose of kean.
b) accept that the ownership and management will remain and allow some leaway over the implementation of these new plans and investments.
realistically we all continue to support rovers, even though the venky's reign has led to extremely emotive responses from many. i for one will not give up on the club this season and wil get to whatever games i can when i get to travel back up north. i respect others for approaching it in an compltely different way, but for me new season suggests the opportunity for a new start, regardless of who's in charge.

fitz808 says... What you say is all well and good. Some quite valid points, but the bottom line is if the Venky's stay then the majority of the fans will not. This in the long run will be detrimental to the well being of the club. Perhaps a little pain now will ease the healing process later.

Agreed.

Clean slate is one thing, but given thst kean now has the funds and soon the players - according to singh - then his tenure should be marked by early results as he's already had more than a season to settle into the job and if there is a strong lineup and he is unable to get the best out of them as he proved last year, then it shouldn't take many games to come to the conclusion that Kean is the weak link.

Rovers will be fighting to stay in the championship next season not get back into the premiership I'm sorry to say, unless they get rid of these dipsticks ruining the club.

10:39am Thu 21 Jun 12

Just some observations-
I thought Singh's role was 'Director of Football' and we already had a 'General Manager'.
Why we would sign Danny Murphy, given his previous comments about our club, puzzles me.
Unfortunately, I see the outlook as being very dismal under Kean.

Bangkok Rover says...

Just' jobs for the boys' and more promises that no doubt will be broken!!
Do they not understand that Kean & Co are not wanted at Ewood after the total shambles they have put the club in through utter 'bad management' and now we might get some pensioners to help get back into the Premiership at the first attempt - IN YOUR DREAMS ! the the paying fans have to look forward to - that is the ones that are silly enough to have bought season tickets.
NO CHANGE OF VIEW OUT WITH THE IDIOT KEAN AND THE REST OF THE LYING TEAM INCLUDING SINGH WHO HAS ALREADY STATED KEAN IS NOT THE MAN FOR THE JOB.

Firstly you all criticise the club for the lack of info and how all the fans are being left in the dark about how Blackburn is being run and the decisions that are being made.

Then finally you get some information about next season, about having money to spend and about potential incoming transfers and you still criticise the new guy, and all because basically Kean and Venkys haven't been sacked as you have been demanding.

Why don't you just relax, and see what the summer brings, because I will be honest if Burnley were planning on signing Danny Murphy and Leon Best then I would be a happy man.

No debts ?

Well, I'm sure I can speak for most on here when I say we would not have a problem with a little debt by way of a severance package for the 'I got Fulham promoted Odious One' ?

Slate clean ?

Well, we have been here before such as the time 2 seasons ago after the last gasp win over Wolves when the clean slate was promised, If I recall something said along those lines ?

Singh, your quote that Kean is not the man to take Blackburn back into the Prem league was absolutely correct, and on that basis why did you not stick to that line when you were in discussions with Venky over your new super duper roll ?

Oh, I get it, towing the line. Not rocking the already sinking ship that is the good ship Ewood.

Venky set up a bank A/C and I will contribute funds that help in paying this Odious One's severance package !

Pressure ?

Wait until the Odious One is pitted against those who are well versed in the Championship League.

The horrible detestable liar is, and will not ever be up to managing at a high level. What is the Odious One displaying to Venky regards his football acumen that see's him still installed as manager ? They are being taken for utter fool's by this 'Odious One' and whoever is advising them.

Do they or yourself not understand that IF you rid BRFC of Odious One, and install a manager of repute even from the lower Leagues that Ewood would be packed to the rafters along with an atmosphere that hasn't been heard or seen for a number of years ?

Wipe the slate clean by ridding us of the cloak of despair. It is that simple.

If the Odious One steps foot anywhere near that ground then be assured, I will not.

My money is pledged to BRSIT, and gaining interest daily. Not a penny more will you people receive from me until you do the correct thing.

Out Out Out Out Out Out Out Out Out Out Out Out Out Out

Dear Mr Singh - now that you seem to have replaced the non existent Mr Agnew as the spokes person for the club - can I assure you that I - as a supporter for over 40 years - will not set foot inside Ewood Park until Mr Kean is sacked and that there are clear indications that there is a transparent process in place that is in the interest of the club and not those that have purely cynical financial motives.

That commitment will remain even if by some miracle we are successful this season.

Can I add that adding Mr Hendry to the staff of the club will continue to tarnish the reputation of a once proud club.

What ever credibility he once had has gone - for ever. It would patronise the supporters still more to assume that he would enable a bridge to be built between supporter and club. Not a chance.

Think very carefully Mr Singh and talk to the decent people who were once associated with this club to get a clear and unbiased opinion of what has happened and, more importantly now, what needs to happen.

It will also be worth your while to go and stand in front of the statue of Jack Walker and try get a sense of what true leadership is all about and what this club means to Blackburn people.

Understandable to be fair all things considering, but like I have said earlier, should the two new signings be unveiled as Murphy and Best then neither will have been cheap and maybe are a sign of better times to come, as they are certainly two players that would thrive in the Championship.

at least let's give it some time to be proved bulldust or not. he's stated advance transfer discussions and other sources suggest that's with murphy and best. that will be a starting point - to see genuine bids going in for the type of players we realistically need, with hopefully one or two actually signing. from there, they can start to prove themselves in other ways and therefore take some steps towards rebuilding the confidence amongst fans which they have been solely responsible for losing in the first place.

Clear communication? Are you for real?

Clear communication is telling us why Steve Kean is still in charge. Real reasons, not nonsense. They've said he's there because he got Fulham promoted, but he clearly didn't, he has zero football management experience bar Rovers, only coaching experience.

How are lies on the very first day clear communication?

Saying anyone who doesn't just swallow these lies has a hidden agenda, makes me wonder if you have a hidden agenda.

Are you actually a real fan? Are you now happy with this amazing communication we are now getting?

What about just being honest with the fans? What about answering our most pressing question - what is Steve Kean still doing at the club?

"Clean slates" and lies don't wash I'm afraid with such an important issue.

What is Steve Kean still doing at the club? Who wants him there and why?

The fans just want answers, and they have to be honest after so long being treated disgracefully.

at least let's give it some time to be proved bulldust or not. he's stated advance transfer discussions and other sources suggest that's with murphy and best. that will be a starting point - to see genuine bids going in for the type of players we realistically need, with hopefully one or two actually signing. from there, they can start to prove themselves in other ways and therefore take some steps towards rebuilding the confidence amongst fans which they have been solely responsible for losing in the first place.
We don't need time, we already know it's ****.

When did Steve Kean get Fulham promoted?

Any fool can see that's clearly ****, but we are supposed to just accept that, after everything else we've had to take?

You might need time to see if it's lies or not, everyone else unfortunately can look up on the net and see it immediately.

Nothing against this Shebby Singh fella, I just think the fans deserve some honesty now after all that's happened and Steve Kean is still in charge.

More lies and future promises aren't good enough any more, we are sick to the back teeth of those.

He's a new appointment, so how do you know?

I'm skeptical to say the least after the lies last season by baldadonna, but if we refuse to believe anything and turn ur backs on the club, is it Venky's we aee hurting more - or the club?
BashirShar, with all due respect to you regards your comments this latest showing, is at best, more rhetoric.

Of course, we are hurting the club, but, that is the way this saga as unfolded. The only people able to ease this hurt and pain are Venky by doing the right thing(s).

Should they do that then I will return, as I have for 39 years, to Ewood.

Whatever the mitigating circumstances are for retaining Kean they just do not stack up for me ? It is pish poor decision making from the highest level and, in my mind, endorses the facts that they are clueless as regards running a football club and, more importantly that they are prepared to alienate the supporter base.

The cost or price being paid, is indeed, a high one, and that if this season does not pan out with any modicum of success then I am convinced the road back will be a long and arduous one and, as you quite rightly point out, the club, Blackburn Rovers Football Club will be the one who bears the whole punishment for the fiasco that I truly believe could, and should have been avoided had more experience and patience have been applied.

The Odious One is culpable for this all situation with his bluster that persuaded Venky in appointing him in the first place with little or no experience in managing such a critical period in BRFC's history.

Staggering, to say the least !

Just a thought ?

"Singh sets the agenda" - by calling for Steve Kean to be sacked....

Then becomes Blackburn Rovers employee and changes his tune... Amazing really. Short of a change of ownership the only thing that could bring fans back onside is to remove Steve Kean from the club completely.

I'm willing to give Shebby the time but its not a good start to get conned on Day 1, in his first interview he already believes Steve got Fulham promoted. By Christmas he will probably believe that he was responsible for the 1995 Championship

Surely you will only know it's bullsh*t by letting things run their course.

Or of course you could always assume that what they are saying is bullsh*t and act accordingly without giving them a chance............?
Everyone will assume it's bullsh*t, because that is all that we've heard over the last 18 calamitous months, apart from lies of course.
Understandable to be fair all things considering, but like I have said earlier, should the two new signings be unveiled as Murphy and Best then neither will have been cheap and maybe are a sign of better times to come, as they are certainly two players that would thrive in the Championship.
If they aren't cheap then they should save the money and sack the manager. That would be by far the best purchase they could make.

When a manager has performed so badly, and treated the fans with such derision, then there is no going back. Especially within football, an industry known for ditching managers.

After a kamikaze pilot, a football manager is the most dispensable job there is. Everyone knows that. Something goes wrong, you sack the manager. Steve Kean has f*cked up heroically but he's still here though. I cannot think of a manager in history who has done worse but still kept his job.

That's what we want answers to. Anything else - players or whatnot - it doesn't matter. It's this massive question of Steve Kean's continued pressence that everyone can't understand but no-one from the club is answering, including this new fella Shebby.

Clean slate? Clean slate with who? The fans? The owners? The players? He had a clean slate with all these people but he sullied it beyond belief.

Or does he get a clean slate every time we get a new "Director of Football" or "General Manager"? With the revolving door of recruitment which Venkys have, that could be a lot of clean slates to put up with.

Those who chose to will see on looking that I asked you a question,you have declined to answer, you obviously don't have to.
You are holding a meeting to which I cant attend but wouldn't even if I was available, If you want to have a pop at me on here that's fine but I feel it is cowardly of you not to reply to me on here and some how think its fair to expect me to attend your meeting.
The question I asked was nothing to with the rights or wrongs on anything to do with BRFC it is nothing to do with venkys or sk or the FA It was to clarify the outcome if Venkys etc are proven to have acted outside the laws of the game. It is similar to being accused of pinching a bag of crisps from Mr Tesco and asking Mr Policeman if I am convicted of this what are the punishments I might receive.
Glen I find it very hard to understand why you wont answer a simple question. I know a lot have fans on here are giving their opinions on here but I would ask you to reflect on your position as acting on behalf of supporters if you refuse to reply.

The question I asked you Glen was :-

We will not be treated in this SHABBY way any longer. To enter Ewood at present is to offer support to these awful people. Even if you bought an ST you can still join the other 15,000 former ST's who have not bought one by getting a refund (or cancel your DD) or by simply not turning up until all fans agree to. An empty stadium will bring massive press pressure on these fake custodians.

Check out the You Tube link above .. hes basically a Malaysian Journeyman player ... Hes a self confessed Tottenham Fan ... His only claim to this role is that he watches & commentates on the EPL on the Asian TV networks -

WTF HAVE WE DONE TO LET THESE PEOPLE INTO OUR CLUB !!!!!!

Shame on all you KEAN supporters and VENKYS defenders on this BB and also at the games ... YOU are as culpable as the DEVIL WOMAN herself ... Take a look in the mirror you lot !!!!

I HOPE YOU ENJOY WATCHIN OUR FURTHER DESCENT !!!!!!

KEAN OUT / SILVESTER OUT / AGNEW OUT / VENKYS OUT / SINGH OUT / AND MOST IMPORTANTLY ...

ALL 2012 / 2013 SEASON TICKET HOLDERS OUT YOU TRAITORS !!!
Don't worry mate every genuine supporter want Kean/Venkys/Anderson
/Kentaro out!! Judging from some of the comments on here, it is clear that the Venky propaganda machine is out again to get the fans on their side. As far as I'm concerned, anyone going to a home game this season is breaching a picket line and destroying our club. Everyone must cease investing in this regime. That is the ONLY way to get rid of Kean and his flunkies.

Probably not I suspect. Gates will be down for sure following our glorious triumphs of last season but not as bad as the propaganda posters make out.
But if I am on my own in the Blackburn End I will give you a wave!
BTW- to the one(s) who slagged me off yesterday re the Bilic post I hoped you had the wit to realise I was being whimsical, having a little joke?
And as for the spelling of Pyrrhic I was unsure whether to put the "h" in or not, but that is because it is a long time since I read the Classics.
Oh dear, am I being patronising again Cyril?
Still supporting as always!
Venky/Kean/Kentaro propaganda machine out in force again to try to shift some season tickets. EVERYONE...PLEASE FOR THE GOOD OF THE CLUB'S FUTURE...DO NOT RETURN TO EWOOD TILL KEAN IS SACKED AND A CHANGE IN OWNERSHIP IS MADE.

Shebby has warned, everyone at the club that action will be taken if targets are not met. He then goes on to say that it is essential that Blackburn Rovers get back to the premier league, but wont set a timeline, as that will put pressure on.

Those two statements surely contradict each other, or am I missing something?

That attitude will cause division between fans, when we should all be in this together.

Some people will go to the match because they feel it's the right feel to do. We should never hold it against those who want to do that.

Rest assured that those who attend dislike Kean just as much as the rest of us though.

We know who the enemy is and it isn't each other. Fans together.

I presume Shebby Singh's main role as International Ambassador is to attract fans from overseas. As a commentator and journalist on the EPL in the Asian subcontinent he will have a lot of followers who will be interested in what he is doing at Blackburn.
I don't know how the TV rights work outside of the UK but I'm guessing that all Blackburns games will be available to purchase via internet or satellite TV.
Keans position is, therefore, irrelevant as these new 'fans' will not have seen his performance over the last couple of seasons and that is why he is allowed to stay.
Of course they (Venkys etc) will read the thousands of comments in the LET and have thought 'f*ck you' and in their mind they see a large fan base being built afresh. Granted, the loss of revenue from Ewood Park will hurt but it is small potatoes compared to TV money etc - not to mention merchandising (now where is that being made?).
If they wanted to win the indigenous fans back then there would have been a concerted effort such as getting rid of Kean and enticing us back.
After the Wigan away match, the Blackburn fans were not something they wanted to inherit and they have succeeded in alienating us and pushing us out.
Just staying away isn't enough, we should sing and chant outside Ewood at each home game otherwise the community support of our club will go the way of Blackburns nightlife.

For some reason Venkys seem to think that you can't have too many gibbering windbags, so have got somebody in to back up Kean's jock windbagging with some footballing backwater punditry doubletalk.

You must be extremely gullible to believe any of what this man says and not to recognise another crook in this gang of crooks. To believe Steve Kean got Fulham promoted says it all about his football nous. You have certainly not been through the constant stream of lies we have been fed for 18 months or more and to class what this guy says as 'information' is like classing Cheryl Cole as a singer. He tells us nothing, it means nothing, he knows nothing and he will most likely do nothing different to what has already gone on.

It certainly seperates the real fans who care only for the club and those with hidden agendas or prejudices.

I for one, am glad that there's finally some clear communication from the club.
Even if it's bullsh*t?
Clear communication. What planet have you been communicating with man? Weve waited 18 months and some nobody makes a few meaningless and so far empty statements which in the context of Blackburn Rovers desperate situation are like a spit in the ocean and you accept it as clear communication!!! Im dumbstruck as to how easily some of you are cajoled along. If it was Mark Lawrensen saying it, more of you would question his intentions so why are you even willing to believe this no mark Malaysian guy? Clear communication would involve telling us they know what they did wrong and why they did it, they know what they need in terms of management and sacking Kean, why they excluded the players last year, where they have lost the fans trust and what they are going to do about it ...

I was there because I had already bought my season ticket as I have done for nearly 30 years. Most of which has meant travelling long distances since going to university at 18. I can tell you now pal that there are very very few people who have put in anywhere near the time and cost that I have supporting the Rovers. I even maintained my season ticket whilst I lived in Sweden for 3 years. It breaks my heart not to renew, I feel completely bereft but we have no choice.

Yes and I don't get your point? I was there because I had already bought my season ticket as I have done for nearly 30 years. Most of which has meant travelling long distances since going to university at 18. I can tell you now pal that there are very very few people who have put in anywhere near the time and cost that I have supporting the Rovers. I even maintained my season ticket whilst I lived in Sweden for 3 years. It breaks my heart not to renew, I feel completely bereft but we have no choice. Renewing is accepting Kean as manager and I simply cannot stand the thought of paying for that.
Dan, you have no need to explain yourself.

Dear oh, dear another stooge! It's amazing how opinion can be manipulated by a pay packet. Heard him on Radio Lancashire this morning where he gave politicians answers to rather weak questioning by Grahm Liver. We need penetrating questions and interviewers who won't be awed by these people and back off. Get paxman to interview him!
The conspiracy thoerists are right, Kean is the paymaster; there can be no other possible explanation.

If you are taken in by the next set of gravy train passengers,then you deserve all you get and more.
Even the LET seem to be going along with the rubbish being sprouted.
No disrespect to Shebby Singh, but a Malalsian ex footballer advising a team on how to get back into the Worlds greatest football league is a joke.
Having a manager who's record is so bad that you can't believe anyone would employ him is just unbelievable.
And how any football fan can give their hard earned cash to these people is beyond belief.
Please dont do it, they are laughing at us thinking that they can tell us anything and that we are too stupid to know any different.

As a Rovers fan living in Fulham London I say if Kean keeps telling pork pies about getting Fulham promoted then I shall start watching his promoted Fulham next season and only until Pinocchio has finally been removed!!!!!

Dear Shebby.

As a life-long Rovers fan of over 30 years, the decision to retain the services of Steve Kean and constant lies from Venky's, I now feel my position as a supporter has become untenable. Therefore, it is with a heavy heart that I resign.

Like many people have pointed out,your report is disgraceful considering what has happened.I wonder if you were in the same room as Singh,and if so,did you ask the questions we need answering,like "Why is
Kean still in charge after the diabolical distruction of the club,and the worst record over 18 months of any manager.
He hasn't even said sorry "WHY"
Don't be a wimp Andy,do your job and ask the many many questions the fans want answers to.You know them all.If you cannot do your job properly i suggest you leave and let someone with "drive"take over.

Talk is cheap.

We have every right to be sceptical given what has been said before.

So, Mr Singh, you say your view on Kean is reliant on which job you hold. That doesn't mean your latest one is right and your first one wrong.

Who were you actually lying to; your readers or the Blackburn supporters?

Time will tell.

Clear communication, do you want lies? This to$$pot condemmed Kean last season, and now, after closed season, he's backing him. Words words words, that is all this toad is doing spouting words in a certain order, they don't mean anything, anyway get yourself down to ewood, and watch the beautiful game. I've made my mind up.

WTF HAVE WE DONE TO LET THESE PEOPLE INTO OUR CLUB !!!!!!

Shame on all you KEAN supporters and VENKYS defenders on this BB and also at the games ... YOU are as culpable as the DEVIL WOMAN herself ... Take a look in the mirror you lot !!!!

I HOPE YOU ENJOY WATCHIN OUR FURTHER DESCENT !!!!!!

KEAN OUT / SILVESTER OUT / AGNEW OUT / VENKYS OUT / SINGH OUT / AND MOST IMPORTANTLY ...

ALL 2012 / 2013 SEASON TICKET HOLDERS OUT YOU TRAITORS !!!
Don't worry mate every genuine supporter want Kean/Venkys/Anderson


/Kentaro out!! Judging from some of the comments on here, it is clear that the Venky propaganda machine is out again to get the fans on their side. As far as I'm concerned, anyone going to a home game this season is breaching a picket line and destroying our club. Everyone must cease investing in this regime. That is the ONLY way to get rid of Kean and his flunkies.
That attitude will cause division between fans, when we should all be in this together.

Some people will go to the match because they feel it's the right feel to do. We should never hold it against those who want to do that.

Rest assured that those who attend dislike Kean just as much as the rest of us though.

We know who the enemy is and it isn't each other. Fans together.
100% spot on.Cant sleep a mate told me earlier he was taught that if you support a team,you do it right, its all or nothing,the rough with the smooth,hes no happy clapper hes as **** off as anyone else,but he says he just cant miss a game at Ewood.Up until recently every poster on here would of said that was comendable,now he would be labelled a scab,and be told hes not a real Rovers fan,just a V***** loving scumbag! Rovers fans at each others throats,due to different opinions is heartbraking.

The Wankys have just appointed a different face to use in order to lie to the fans. First lie, Kean got Fulham promoted and knows what it takes to get us promoted. Lets see how many other lies this new puppet tells us, and he is undoubtedly a puppet, and the Wankys sack anyone that disagrees with them. Also Shabby has already came out and said Kean should be sacked.

More lies and different day and lets count the lies of Shabby. Lets see who the two signings he actually gets to sign are!

Don't know if they have been posted on here before nevertheless. Below are 3 quotes from the new maestro himself. Take it away Shebby..............


1. 'I think that Steven Gerrard is a poor passer so he should play at right back..I think thats the best position for him.'

2. 'Yes, Messi scores all these goals, but what else does he do?'

3. Why does Giggs play CM now? Why does he do that? Play him CB with Ferdinand - the experience from those two would be so hard to beat.'

He obviously has the sort of calibre Rovers are looking for. The Kean and Shebby team are world beaters.

My comment yesterday shouldhave been backed up with the following statement, when I said I hoped rovers would lose every game till nothing else could be done till kean was sacked, then with a decent manager push for a playoff place and get promoted that way would be the best case scenarion, now the question is how many games would kean have to lose before these thicko's realise that a change of manager is the way to go. Remember the first step to recovery is a change in the manager, no matter who else is behind the scenes!

latest reports in the mirror indicate mass exodus by players and reliance on academy players. I can help thinking this was the plan all along. strip the assets, get your money back with interest and then sell the club cheap. If the club goes down a division or two in the meantime, do the Venkys care? I doubt it.

45 years a season ticket holder. Not any more. No visits to ewood until the venky's go

Lets hope there is a grain of truth in all this but until actions start speaking louder than words i'll remain extremely sceptical.
that's my feeling on the matter. history suggests we must be cautious about pretty much anything that is suggested about how things will be done in the future.
the last year and a half have been poor, when i was hoping for so much more. however, i am not one for absolutes. i personally feel kean has been poor, but i am not a manager or chief exec, so recognise that i am less experienced than those i would be critical of. and it is fair to say there have been some bizarre circumstances to deal with, so it may be unfair of us to judge his management without that broader context.
venky's too have been really poor - inexcusably so in the case of communication. so i feel we are at a point where we have two directions of travel from which we can hope to rebuild
a) make wholesale changes to the ownership and management structure. this is largely out of the fans' control as venky's do not seem inclined to sell or dispose of kean.
b) accept that the ownership and management will remain and allow some leaway over the implementation of these new plans and investments.
realistically we all continue to support rovers, even though the venky's reign has led to extremely emotive responses from many. i for one will not give up on the club this season and wil get to whatever games i can when i get to travel back up north. i respect others for approaching it in an compltely different way, but for me new season suggests the opportunity for a new start, regardless of who's in charge.
The long term future of BRFC is not in good hands and IMO we as supporters must keep the pressure on the current regime by simply withdrawing our support until such time our message is clearly understood
Let there be no more confusion Mr Venkatesh Rao our message "Kean Out! Venkys Out" will be heard and at some point will be acted upon.
Until that day arrives we should continue to hold the owner's feet to the fire till they cannot stand the pain, financial, emotional, or otherwise, any longer.
The new 2012/13 season will bring about a new start, a start which will be minus 10,000 loyal and lifelong supporters !!
One day we'll be back, but not until the day comes that you leave !!

Sold down the river again by Venkys - if that is there big news appointing a global advisor to look after a Championship side who few were interested in in the premiership it is time to throw in the towel.

What experience does the guy have of this league - what is the point in having a clean slate for the Manager every season and doing nothing

to me its chicken by name and chicken by nature as far as Venkys are concerned I am sure they will be at Ewood every home game to watch their team !!
