Blackburn Rovers confirm Murphy signing (From Lancashire Telegraph)

As I've said before it's a great signing. It's clearly cost us a bob or two as well.

So it begs the massive massive question; if it's not the money, then why haven't the Venkys sacked Steve Kean?

I wish someone would just tell us. Don't they realise that it's all the fans care about?

PROVIDE A DECENT BUDGET?

HOW MUCH CASH WAS KEAN GIVEN LAST YEAR? 20MIL?

AND HE STILL SQUANDERED IT AND LEFT US RELEGATED.

Rougly -
Petrovic - 6M
Goodwillie - 2M
Yakubu - 2M
Dann - 8M
Rochina - 1M
Formica - 4M
Orr - 1M

Think you'll find Venkys have never failed to put cash in. Some oaf keeps spending it on players who don't get a game.

He can't take them.

This may sound negative, however the signing of Danny Murphy will not have me weeping with joy through the streets of Blackburn.

First things first, yes he is a solid player with massive experience - in many ways the perfect signing, however let's not forget the reasons we are so desperate for his experience. Kean has let go of Samba, Salgado, Emerton and, most importantly, Ryan Nelsen. Givet looks set to leave, as does N'Zonzi, Hoilett and Olssen (young players, but on their day the core of the Rovers team). Will we really dominate this league with Pedersen, Dunn and Murphy in midfield?! Don't forget the way Rovers play under Kean, with the taller central defenders pushing forward for every dead ball situation - is it not asking those old (and injury-prone) legs too much to cover the counter attack? (Watch the Stoke game at Ewood last season. We were taken apart on the break because no one could get back in time). Or will we rely on Radosav Petrovic to do the running? Please no.

The other thing I have against this signing is that Murphy is a Kean man. He knew him at Fulham and Kean has no doubt "done him a favour" and offered him more money than anyone else would have at this stage of his career. Kean will ship out the dissenters and surround himself with his mercenaries, thus securing his own place at the club - not that Mr Agnew needs any convincing that he is the second coming. Need any proof? Wait for the Murphy statement saying how Kean was a major factor in him joining Rovers and how Kean is the man to take us up. I will probably be physically sick when I read it, despite fully expecting it.

Next up - Like Shabby Singh (or Shaggy as I call him), Murphy has slammed Rovers in the media recently. Yet he is willing to sign. The whole of Lancashire knows that what Rovers need more than anything else is money grabbers...

So yes, signing Danny Murphy makes some sense. But let's not forget; Danny Murphy does not equal Ryan Nelsen, Chris Samba, Michel Salgado, Brett Emerton etc.

Good bit of business first up - Venkys have you got the bottle to follow it up with some further quality additions?!?!

Whether its true or not, the propaganda at the moment is suggesting that last season's bad signings were made by Vineeth Rao.

I expect that there will be many ups and downs within the current transfer window but signing Danny Murphy is definitely a good start. If (and its a big if) we can keep the existing squad (minus Hoilett and Yakubu of course) and add one or two other decent signings (eg Best and Gosling) then I for one will consider that an excellent transfer window.

I need to ask you this question Benal13 - Would you be p1ssed off if Blackburn won their first ten games and were top of the league?

Would you still protest and shout for Kean Out etc or will you, get up, wipe the egg from your face and renew your season ticket like the vast najority of Blackburn fans would do?

For me, even if we were to win our opening 10 games, I'd still hate Kean & Venky's with an insurmountable passion for what they've done.

That would be a ridiculous assumption many happy clappers like myself don't have the common sense (or restraint) to boycott matches and have already bought season tickets to cheer the team on. Sadly away from the heat and passion of a football match reality kicks in.

You say that you get the feeling most on here want us to fail, has Kean not already failed. He has asked us to "Judge us after the window" claimed "Relegation was impossible" and told us to prepare for Europe in the coming seasons. Are you unaware of his record?

I feel sorry for those who renewed there ST's and will have to watch rovers being beat in their 1st 5 matches of the season, how painful would that be, I really hope it does not happen for your sake, however this misguided loyality to believe the best in kean is your weakness.....

very aware thank you, kean main problem is he lies and sets his target's far too high,kean is a complete joke of a man and manager,im not throwing in the towel that's my point.We are all praying for a new manager but it doesnt seem like it's gunna happen does it?Maybe if we lose the first five matches he will get the sack, i just can't want rovers to lose and go into oblivion even with this current regime

Would you still protest and shout for Kean Out etc or will you, get up, wipe the egg from your face and renew your season ticket like the vast najority of Blackburn fans would do?

that is a very good question,i for one want kean to suceed and win the league,im a brfc fan not kean or venky's.I get the feeling most on here want us to fail and they can say i told you so.You are spot on with that question

You say that you get the feeling most on here want us to fail, has Kean not already failed. He has asked us to "Judge us after the window" claimed "Relegation was impossible" and told us to prepare for Europe in the coming seasons. Are you unaware of his record?

very aware thank you, kean main problem is he lies and sets his target's far too high,kean is a complete joke of a man and manager,im not throwing in the towel that's my point.We are all praying for a new manager but it doesnt seem like it's gunna happen does it?Maybe if we lose the first five matches he will get the sack, i just can't want rovers to lose and go into oblivion even with this current regime

Problem is he never is sacked despite failing every target he sets himself. I do not wish for the club to fail, but I cannot see how the atmosphere can improve or football club can go forward without a change. I turn up every match hoping for a victory but reality says its not happening.

I am guessing Kean has ridden this one out by stating to Venkys that as soon as Rovers start winning games again in the Championship then the fans will start flooding back and renewing their ST's etc - and I think he is right - this is exactly what will happen. If Tovers find themselves in the top echelons of the table then the gates will steadily increase game on game.

B*llocks.... maybe they may get 1000 fans back, but i'm guessing thats it, look blackburn are going up against quite a few veteran teams in the championship, if i wasd Ipswich, i'd be delighted to get rovers the first game of the season at home....

Not true Givet82.

The doom and gloom that you allude to as not arrived through supporters, but have been taken to this point.

Of course, the future is unwritten, and all things could become rosy down at the good ship Ewood ?

But, when you sail off into the future with this lot I ask that you remember those left behind that stood on matters of principle for the very nature of BRFC.

I wish BRFC well for the new season in the Championship, but I will never forgive these incompetent bungling imposters for ripping away the heart of what is a community football club. Regardless of the fact they wish to rebrand BRFC globally.

When you realize that they do not see you as a vital component of BRFC then maybe you will retract your support ?

Nothing that I write on these boards are meant to be seen as doom and gloom, but just an observant eye on what is obvious.

Let us suggest that time is not an open ended option, and the Odious One as a time limit as to deliver his vision ?

How long do we think he as to achieve this ? As it stands this imposter is going to be allowed in taking this club to places that our club as never witnessed before in it's history.

Thank Fook the future is unwritten, eh ?!

I wish you well in your continued support all things BRFC, but please remember the cost, and at what price it as been achieved ?

Folk's on here, and around these districts are hurting badly at what unravels down at Ewood. So, I ask you please to remember those folk who are angry, and thoroughly dejected at the prospect of not attending Ewood through no fault of their own.

Regards.

If pigs had wings they would fly! You are sadly deluded if you think for one second the Rovers are going to be anywhere near the top of the table. By the end of August I predict bottom 5. Boycotting STs is nothing to do with finances it is all to do with showing the media, the Venky's and anybody else that will listen. We DO NOT want KEAN anywhere near OUR club.

Afternoon Mr French :)

I see the debate rages on here again !

I'm stunned and aghast that anyone on here or other message boards can in anyway defend that which is the Odious One.

From the outset of this appointment he, along with others, have done nothing but, dismantle and besmirch the good name of our football club, and for what ?

Vision ?

Nah, mate. These are amateurs at best tinkering with a well oiled machine attempting in building it in their own vision whilst making a sows ear of it, and all at the expense of isolating a support base that was building up nicely.

For all those that wish to attend season next then I say good luck to them, but I cannot see how they can have any real attachment to a team built around a guy who as quite literally spat in the eye of ALL Blackburn supporters with his divisive actions. Not one of those players who have unceremoniously been booted out of Ewood have had a good word to say about our beloved club. NOT ONE !

The vision that is bequeathed upon us by this lot is not one I wish to be part of when it is tarnished with LIES, and a utter disrespect to those that have built this club for 136 years.

He/they can bring in, as they once attempted, some super chuffing star, but for me they are full of the worst kind of rhetoric I have ever witnessed.

His record does not allow for him to keep churning out this positive that borders on absolute delusion. He will fail badly in the Championship by the mere fact HE his not patently good enough. Fact.

I will give it 4/5 games into the Championship campaign, and should the results, performances show a negative effect what then will the supporters, who attend, react ?

I will not support failure in the guise of positive. They, and they alone have created this horrendous situation that befalls BRFC, and, in my opinion, they have a monumental job in putting Humpty back together again. Nothing to these people appears to be a back words step although the evidence strongly suggests otherwise.

They sack this sorry assed imposter, and I will return, gladly.

Far to many spectators are part of football now. Something I do not recognize.

Kean and Rovers equates to the darkest period in the history of BRFC.

Do I wish to have any part of that ? No chance I cherish our football club more than they will ever do.

Hope all is well Mr French and Mr Morst ?

What makes you so sure that he would be sacked for being at the bottom of the Championship? At the start of last season wouldn't you have expected him to be sacked at some point for his awful record? Where is this new found optimism coming from?

I think that Venkys and Kean and the media have all now got the message that BRFC fans don't like the owners and the management after last seasons' protesting and general malaise dished out at every home game.

It isn't going to make a scrap of difference to how the club is run by the Chicken Farmers - basically it is their club and they can (and will) do with it what they want. I understand that the fans are feeling like they are making a stand, unfortunately to the outside world it will just look like BRFC fans are more fickle than most and have reacted poorly to relegation, and THAT is the reason why the stadium is virtually empty for every home game.

very fair point's sir, i ask you one question though: What would you think of steve kean as a football coach(not person)if he won he championship

Well, Mr Givet82, the 'Odious One' could bring untold success down at the good ship Ewood, and I would not recognize it in the slightest purely down to the fact his ways are in total contrast to that which I have grown up with my beloved club.

His vision is not within the scopes of how football works, in my opinion ? Totally dismantling a framework of a well run football, or being a part of that, tells it's own story, again, in my opinion.

I've always been optimistic regards BRFC under any circumstances, but this, alas, as pushed me over the edge, and be assured, young sir, I am devastated at the prospect of not following our beloved Rovers over land and sea.

Believe me I would/could find it easy to cave in, and give this 'Odious One' another chance of my, and our valued support, but I feel he will just let us down again.

Look at the contrast between him and, say, Roy Hodgson ?

Don't be fooled by this guy or for that matter the Venky's ! On the other hand don't let your joy of supporting BRFC be tarnished by that which you read. You will find your own plateau, and I wish you well for that.

Sacking him will see me return to Ewood, and in my mind perfectly justified.

Regards.

Maybe you should explain the difference to me as far as I can see the aim this season is to be promoted from the Championship, the aim last season was what.... to finish Top 10 and win a cup?

You really think that Steve Kean is being judged on results, with his current record?

very aware thank you, kean main problem is he lies and sets his target's far too high,kean is a complete joke of a man and manager,im not throwing in the towel that's my point.We are all praying for a new manager but it doesnt seem like it's gunna happen does it?Maybe if we lose the first five matches he will get the sack, i just can't want rovers to lose and go into oblivion even with this current regime

Problem is he never is sacked despite failing every target he sets himself. I do not wish for the club to fail, but I cannot see how the atmosphere can improve or football club can go forward without a change. I turn up every match hoping for a victory but reality says its not happening.

im sure he must get sacked if we are bottom after the first five matches,problem is i can't see us being bottom with signings like murphy and best can you really?

What makes you so sure that he would be sacked for being at the bottom of the Championship? At the start of last season wouldn't you have expected him to be sacked at some point for his awful record? Where is this new found optimism coming from?

there is a huge difference being in the bottom 3 in the premiership to being bottom of the championship come on now,not optimism just realism,

Maybe you should explain the difference to me as far as I can see the aim this season is to be promoted from the Championship, the aim last season was what.... to finish Top 10 and win a cup?

You really think that Steve Kean is being judged on results, with his current record?

i do now, maybe not last season for venky's im convinced he has to take us straight back up which will be difficult.You not think he was close to being sacked?

Afternoon Mr French :)

I see the debate rages on here again !

I'm stunned and aghast that anyone on here or other message boards can in anyway defend that which is the Odious One.

From the outset of this appointment he, along with others, have done nothing but, dismantle and besmirch the good name of our football club, and for what ?

Vision ?

Nah, mate. These are amateurs at best tinkering with a well oiled machine attempting in building it in their own vision whilst making a sows ear of it, and all at the expense of isolating a support base that was building up nicely.

For all those that wish to attend season next then I say good luck to them, but I cannot see how they can have any real attachment to a team built around a guy who as quite literally spat in the eye of ALL Blackburn supporters with his divisive actions. Not one of those players who have unceremoniously been booted out of Ewood have had a good word to say about our beloved club. NOT ONE !

The vision that is bequeathed upon us by this lot is not one I wish to be part of when it is tarnished with LIES, and a utter disrespect to those that have built this club for 136 years.

He/they can bring in, as they once attempted, some super chuffing star, but for me they are full of the worst kind of rhetoric I have ever witnessed.

His record does not allow for him to keep churning out this positive that borders on absolute delusion. He will fail badly in the Championship by the mere fact HE his not patently good enough. Fact.

I will give it 4/5 games into the Championship campaign, and should the results, performances show a negative effect what then will the supporters, who attend, react ?

I will not support failure in the guise of positive. They, and they alone have created this horrendous situation that befalls BRFC, and, in my opinion, they have a monumental job in putting Humpty back together again. Nothing to these people appears to be a back words step although the evidence strongly suggests otherwise.

They sack this sorry assed imposter, and I will return, gladly.

Far to many spectators are part of football now. Something I do not recognize.

Kean and Rovers equates to the darkest period in the history of BRFC.

Do I wish to have any part of that ? No chance I cherish our football club more than they will ever do.

Hope all is well Mr French and Mr Morst ?

Bon apres midi Mr. RR - All is well with everything in life apart from the ailing health of my (our) football club.

I keep having the urge to find something to get enthused about in some way about the coming season and what exciting things can lay ahead for the Rovers.

But every time I try to do this then down comes the dark shutter of blackness (aka Steve Kean) and all light and hope seems lost.

At the start of any season there is usually hope even for the smallest or worst of clubs as everything is still possible.

Promotion, a good couple of cup runs, exciting new signings..full houses at home...away ground sell-outs..top striker in the division....and until the season actually starts and the bubbles get burst one by one then all this is possible right now and always has been possible for our club too before every season. Apart from this.

I welcome Murphys signing and will welcome Leon Best's if it happens....but still the dark forces are around Ewood....

One heroic knight on a white steed called 'Hope' can free of us all from this darkness with one single blow of his sword (aka 'the sack') and cut Kean out of our lives and banish him to a small but distasteful chapter in our long and generally proud history.

Well he has a had a horrific record, numerous off field issues and lost the support of 99% of the crowd. He is still in position as manager, therefore it is impossible to know how close to being sacked he is. I have seen ZERO signs of him being removed.

It is new ground for a manager to be in this position. How incompetent does someone have to be at a job to lose it?

I have no idea why you feel that the situation will be any different by waiting longer and longer timescales. In 5 matches time maybe we should wait longer, he "MIGHT" win the next 5 matches, etc etc. It could go on forever...

Funny, I thought Murphy was Fulhams captain. I think you're over cooking the turkey. Murphy is a top drawer player. Just because Keanochio is a t1t, it doesn't turn murphy into a bad player.

Problem is he never is sacked despite failing every target he sets himself. I do not wish for the club to fail, but I cannot see how the atmosphere can improve or football club can go forward without a change. I turn up every match hoping for a victory but reality says its not happening.

im sure he must get sacked if we are bottom after the first five matches,problem is i can't see us being bottom with signings like murphy and best can you really?

No, but we won't be near the top either.....

Anywhere near I fancy.

Why are we getting all excited about Murphy and moreso it would seem, Best?

He's a decent enough player but just that, decent.

As for Venkys suddenly throwing money around; Murphy's wages will be comfortably covered by those of the players who are leaving - and they are leaving - no matter what Kean or our new "Global Advisor" (whatever the f@ck that is) says.
