Rovers manager warns Championship rivals to be fearful of Blackburn
9:30am Saturday 30th June 2012 in News
By Andy Cryer, Blackburn Rovers reporter
STEVE Kean wants his Championship rivals to fear Blackburn Rovers next season – and he is adamant he now has the financial backing to achieve that.
The Rovers boss described the capture of Danny Murphy as a “huge statement of intent” and vowed there would be more signings coming to make people sit up and take notice.
The Lancashire Telegraph understand Newcastle United striker Leon Best is set to become the next Ewood Park addition for in the region of £3m, after agreeing personal terms, while Sporting Lisbon midfielder Adrien Silva is believed to have turned down a move to Porto as he looks to make his Rovers switch a reality.
Portimonese’s 19-year-old left winger Fabio Nunes is also expected to sign imminently as Kean looks to bring about an instant Premier League return.
Kean said: “It was important we got the first signing of the season right and it is a massive statement. We want the clubs in our division to look at our squad list and and think that is full of quality. The signing of Danny Murphy has proved that.
“I would like the other teams to look at the squad and think ‘that is a Premier League squad, that is in the Championship for a season’.
“That would be what I would love at the end of the transfer window, to be able to say that he has quality all over, that has depth, that is going to be difficult for teams not to know everyone. You want them to be frightened.
“I would rather let other more qualified persons talk about the finances. It was plain to see we lost a lot of players and now what we are trying to do is add these type of players so there has been a big shift. I think that will be even more apparent in the next couple of weeks.
“This shows the backing of the owners to make signings like this. You will see there will be other signings coming in that people will sit up and take notice.”
Kean believes 35-year-old Murphy will be able to control games next campaign, tipping the former Fulham skipper to dictate things in the centre of the park.
Kean said: “When you bring a player like him in, I think everyone looks at you more seriously. Danny wants to play and he wants to finish on a high and back in the Premier League.
“We were very fortunate in years come by to have Tugay here. He was getting on a bit. Sometimes when you have quality and vision, the ball can always move quicker than any player, look at Pirlo.
“Why can’t Danny achieve what Tugay did? He can pass the ball like him and Danny plays a similar vein. If he can be our new Tugay I would love that because he was the type of player who got fans off their seats.”
Meanwhile Rovers fans now have until August 1 to purchase season tickets for the coming campaign at last year’s prices.
Standard adult prices in the Ronnie Clayton Blackburn End, Darwen End and Riverside stands remain at £225, with under-16s priced at £85 (just £3.70 per game).
August 1 is the claim-your-seat deadline for those wishing to renew at the offer prices and Adult and Senior tickets beyond that date will be priced from £259.
Season tickets prices for Juniors and Young Adults will remain frozen at last season's prices.

Great signing/rumours so far but lets be honest, you could sign Messi and Ronaldo and we still wouldn’t be convinced. Reason……. BECAUSE YOU ARE STILL IN CHARGE!!
Drop season tickets to a quid but rovers fans will not by into it while Steve Kean is still our manager.

All our Management structure have succeded to bring a club down a division. We have Preston's rejects trying to push Blackburn's reject, and somewhere along the line we are supposed to look forward.
Meanwhile back at the ranch we are stockpiling more deadwood on the pitch for the flames. Be affraid, be very affraid.

Never remember Murphy making gerrard look like that, in fact liverpool let murphy go because gerrard was head and shoulders a better player.
You can try and bull Murphy up a bit because you signed him and he is a decent player, if a bit old, but he is nowhere near Tugay and he never will be.
And thats why we are where we are, because you fail to spot genuine, hit the ground running talent. Our squad is full of more late developers than beckhams got tattoos.

I cannot think of any other manager (worth his salt, or not) coming out with this kind of talk.
Its fine 'building your squad up' in the media, but to suggest / imply everyone else had better watch out, really is totally disrespectful of all the other teams and managers.
The guy really is possibly the biggest joke in football that I have ever witnessed.

You are paying hard earned money to support a man who attempted to blame the rovers fans for his criminal activities. Would you still be supporting him if he had mown a child down whilst drunk at the wheel? Only blind luck prevented it.
Who in their right mind pays to be lied to week in, week out? Ok maybe mistakes were made in the running of the club but the lies were and are premeditated. Manufactured to try and deceive you, yet you are lapping it up and paying cold hard cash for more.
There was a lot of ''plastic moaning hangers on'' who made the trips to spurs and Cardiff which a dedicated supporter Such as yourself obviously did not.
Perhaps there is ambition to return to the premier league, could it be anything to do with it near on tripling in value. They care not one bit for any single one of us. Financial gain is king and you are assisting them.

Teams should be fearful of Blackburn Rovers - I will give you three chuffin reasons why:
1) STEVE KEAN
2) Venkys
3) Singh
.
Teams should be fearful of Rovers.....blood and sand!
.
We need to add that one to the list
i) europe in 3-4 years
ii) beckham/ronaldhino
iii) phil ones will not be leaving blackburn rovers
iv) i havent had a drink officer
v) my drink must have been spiked
vi) top ten finish
vii) league cup win possible
viii) judge me at the end of the transfer window
ix) myles is new.....
x) ribero is new.....
xi) i have the squad i want now
xii) still on track for top half finish
xiii the lads have performed great in training
xiv) samba is going nowhere
xv) no way are we going down
xvi) i've just seen nelsen and he is in traction
xvii) there is no reason why we cant go to spurs and chelsea and get a result
xviii) we will NOT go down
xix) relegation came as a complete shock
xx) we take one step backward to take two steps forward.
.
now it may look like i researched that list - but it was from the top of my head....perhaps others may like to add to it. LT, perhaps you could compile Kean's top 50 inane quotations.
.
my favourite is paraphrasing what he must say to his mirror every morning "i'm a premiership (sic) manager - and my mummy says don't let anybody else tell you different. have i got my dinner money?"

So, why not, for once, just stop the constant moaning and whingeing and get behind the team for next year.
It seems to me that the club is going to have a real go at getting straight back up and deserve some credit for planning positively. If results don't go well, then it will be right to expect rapid changes (and let's hope it doesn't come to that) but until then the fans need to do their bit and help create the right atomosphere.

Him and his sort have torn the heart and soul out of our club - witness the division universal condemnation from 99% of the fans...witness the sponsors pulling out left right and centre (note: before we were relegated)...witness even the blooming council and mps (of all parties) recognising the damage to the town's morale...witness the ordinary everyday staff who work at the club...witness the forced exit of all senior execs who dare to question the nefarious activities going on.
.
there are two common links in this debacle - VENKYS and KEAN. The former has created the storm conditions and the latter is the lightning bolt that has decimated our once proud club.
.
if you had visited ewood last season you will be aware that the supporters backing for THE TEAM was pretty unequivocal. The vituperative chanting and p demonstrating was directed solely at our manager and owners.

Confidence is not a shameful trait, but surely must be tinged with realism, and if the 'Odious One' believes other Championship teams need to be fearful, very fearful then I believe he is in cuckoo land ?
Blackburn Rovers, come the Championship KO, along with Bolton and Wolves will be scalps that most teams will relish in putting to the sword, and testing this managerial incompetent.
Go ask Graham Souness, who found life in the Championship not such an easy ride for our return into the Premiership, and this from guy with a team packed with names along with vast amounts of experience, and medals to boot.
I'm here to be proved utterly incorrect over the 'Odious One' and his stint in the Championship ?
Those who align their positive approach with the 'Odious One' for the cause of BRFC give me one GOOD reason as to why I should share your sentiment over him ?
I backed him in the most practical of ways, and indeed had many a 'set to' with my fellow supporters on these boards until, I, as a layman in terms of football, seen right through this divisive, repugnant character who's record is nothing short of a disaster.
For the sake of our club I hope upon hope that those behind the scenes create an harmonious situation, and not the acrimony that befell upon BRFC these past 2 years ?
This character surely has used up his nine lives that he so charmingly possesses !
He his in the last chance saloon by those, surely, who employ him for the business of getting results ?
Let us hope that the 'statement of intent' player can live under the enormous pressure that is likely to come his way ?
History shows that Blackburn Rovers can rise from dark days. Can it be done under HIM ?
T'up the rovers til the day I die :)
Just a thought folk's ?

With Kean organising the team and the defence, we will be very easy to create chances against and score against. Just like it was in the premier league, as Kean is a very poor manager. Unless the players get to together and play their own game, then we have no chance of even finishing top 10 next season- whoever Kean manages to sign.

How about you make a business plan for all to see on how venkys aren't going to make a financial gain. If you think I've got time to sit around writing other peoples business plans you're even more pathetic than you let on.
You have zero idea about what I can or can't do, my education or financial status so maybe you shouldn't make idle threats from behind your keyboard.
If you would kindly refer back to my initial post you will notice that I never once mentioned anything about venkys making a profit. What I did say was that you are assisting them in their mission to achieve financial gain. You still think they are here to turn rovers into a dominant force in world football.
I've an idea you might like. Let's change the clubs motto to "supporting criminals" until kean is gone because that's what you will be doing next season. you are pondlife SIMPLES

31 points last season Steve, THIRTY ONE. In case you aren't aware of how football works, thats ******* awful! We've just lost a striker who was probably responsible for about half those points, and he wants other clubs to be scared of us?

Like I say, you know nothing about me or my background, but one thing I will let you know about me is that I am extremely stubborn which is why u will not be "putting together a business plan" on the Lancashire telegraph website, whether I can or can't.
Every day your on here winding posters up. I'm sure you're taking as much joy out of this as I am, but as I have plans for the evening this shall be my last post. You don't come across as particularly intelligent and therefore I have grown tired of this conversation.

you omit any expenses and the hardest thing to do sell the club.
,
1, Outgoings 23m purchase club, 20m OD liability, 20m New players,
2, If you sack a manager and install new manager there is a liability, in your world do you think BFS let them off his contract.
3. Simple maths if you buy something you only make a profit when you sell.
4, If Venkys keep the club for say 4 years the will have lost appx 20m in interest on their initial outlay,
5, Do you honestly think that if you sell a player for 5m , you get 5m.
Now dont believe me just send off to companies house for a copy of the accounts and prove me wrong.

You, like a spoilt little brat angry cause most people don't agree with you, are labelling as plastic the 2nd most loyal type of fans we have. Why don't you stop your childish dribble, have a think about why such committed supporters are refusing to go, and then have the class to stop hurling abuse at them. If you did that you'd realise most non-renewers are very upset about the decision they've made but are doing it because they think its right for the long-term future of the club.
In my opinion you're taking the easy, brainless option. I bet your the type of person who's never challenged authority in his life.

I went on holiday thinking it can't in all honesty get even funnier can it whilst I am away? - but it has. A new MD who failed at Preston and who starts by praising Kean and immediately alienating all the fans (Thickle Fan excepted!) - Will Derek Shaw surprise us and finally be the man brave enough to forget his pay packet and tell Venky's to sack the useless manager? - don't hold your breath.
.
Then we have a new operations Director who was the new General Manager when I went away - is that his 5th job title since the New Year?
.
Meanwhile the SEASON TICKET renewal is extended yet again - could it be they are not selling well?
.
Is there anyone at Ewood who can work out that the VERY SIMPLE reason 15,000 former ST's are holding back their support is because of the useless manager and they are not going to change their minds until he goes?

I've had a quick read through and you obviously have a real inferiority complex. All bar two or three of your posts are you attempting to insult other people's intelligence whilst promoting your own intelligence. "you can't read", "no brained, mindless moron", "you utter fool", "no brained idiot like yourself"
Whilst promoting your own unrivalled intelligence you ironically overlooked the fact that you, prior to all of your own name calling, reprimanded another poster for resorting to name calling. "wow, reduced to name calling, how unusual"
Now i am by no means above petty name calling so i'll say this. You spend your pittiful existance on this forum spreading your nonsensical, self contradictory drivel, whilst promoting your own fantastic intelligence when you come across as one of the lesser intelligent posters on this site.
How are you ever going to have time to put together your business plans if you're on this forum?

When you look back they are the ones who boycotted when we never got promoted, boycotted when we got relegated, Thought up the old conspiracy theory when Fox was here, remember that one "we dont want to get promoted" did the rounds for a few years that one,
Then we get the Andrews moaners, the wilcox moaners, the atkins moaners.
some of these moaners who are now moaning about murphy want to see some of the lumps we have actually paid money to watch over the years (finnigan 4for 1 and the fat non league centre forward cant remember his name )
but what really gets me is the moaning conspiracy theorists that come out with cra* like they are in it for financial gain and then cant put a bit of maths behind their rants,

Would you give me your appraisal as to your reasoning that Venky are not benefiting financially ? And fiscally do you believe Venky are working in achieving what is in the best interests of BRFC ?
I ask because you have a sure belief that this is not the case ?
Are you of the absolute belief that Venky are truly in this for the right reasons concerning BRFC ?
Are you of the mind that the previous regime's business model for BRFC was in some way flowed in so much that Venky had to totally dismantle the whole infra structure in order for it to progress to a successful level that surpasses the previous regime ?
We know that the ratio of wages to turnover was far to high for the club to continue in this way. So have Venky come in to streamline the business thus they have no intention of benefiting from BRFC in monetary terms, but only to create a stable platform to build from in the hope that success will materialize ?
A new business, surely, must inject new capital, funds should they choose to tear up the existing one ?
I'm at a loss as to the goings on down at Ewood thus far, and, you may agree, is open to interpretation ?

You haven't got a defense as to Venky not milking BRFC.
You cannot and will not answer my questions. Why ? Your full of bluster just as these frightful owners are along with this Odious cretin who professes in managing the team.
You are an ignorant, belligerent old fool sat behind a keyboard blurting out tosh whilst this club, that you also profess in supporting, falls deeper and deeper into the abyss under the pretext that Venky are not gaining financially.
You couldn't hold an intelligent conversation if you tried or for that matter respond in a dignified manner.
Everyone person who is involved with BRFC at this time since Venky took over have lined their pockets in full. We will take 'Odious One' as an example. Utter abject failure, and achieves £1.3 million pound !
You carry on going down to Ewood and supporting that which is plain and simply wrong due to your inability to see and act upon that which is right.
And, just for your 'look in the A/C of BRFC' for prove that you so steadfastly cling onto their are many a book that as been cooked to give the right impression.
You, as a poster as pointed out are as complicit and crooked as this regime.

This highlights your inability in having any real 'Evidence' to the contrary to that which is put to you.
You are pure and simply someone who wishes to defy the scurrilous goings on down at Ewood because you haven't got hard evidence that will sway your thinking to the contrary.
Answer the questions above that I outlined to you in a rational and thoughtful way ?
Embarrass myself ? Not a chance.
You are juxtaposing for your own ignorant ends, and the most cynical element in this is that you feel clever in ridiculing other fellow supporters although YOU have not given one shred of this 'Evidence' you cling onto that disproves what any right thinking person is morally obliged to ask under these circumstances ?

'I never said that'. 'I never said this'.
You insinuated that posters on here are conspiracy theorist without foundation: e.g. EVIDENCE !
What of the moral evidence ? Or is that somehow devoid in you ?
Then just what it is that you have said that as seen you rebuffed on countless occasions ?
As I say, you juxtapose, and the worst is that you retract all that you have said, purely down to the fact you don't know what your on about or, as maybe the case, your mind is slipping for the hardened facts that you so eagerly wish for.
The facts are down at Ewood Park out on the pitch where the business end really matters for is it not that this reflects the internal happenings at a/our club ?
If you have no evidence of that which you so gleefully ridicule others for not having then why push yourself as the bastion of truth in this frightful matter that befalls our 137 year old football club ?
As General McAuliffe famously said for the beleaguered b'stards of Bastogne to the Germans in surrendering:
NUTS !
Until our club is placed back onto a stable footing with transparency that befits OUR club the questions will be asked thus. Regardless of how uncomfortable these maybe to those that purport in carrying on the best traditions of BRFC, and more importantly for those that follow, have followed, and will continue to follow this club.
The evidence suggest thus far that BRFC are, and have become destabilized and for what purpose ?
This is, and as you say, live in a free country, that allows free speech that being which is a corner stone of what is democratic.
Evidence will present itself soon enough just which way this will be revealed is anyone's guess, but the evidence thus far is there to be scrutinized to the full down to the inept way our club is being run.
Who the hell is Peter Frampton ?
Attempting in insulting others for your own ends simply magnifies your own ineptness in this matter.
Let them prove to us that no untoward is going on down at Ewood, and then all this will cease. Until that time we have a right to ask the question ?

Any way FF to set you and your doppledanger Wild Rover straight - I was never a Kean fan but like many had serious doubts about him but had to give him and our new owners a fair chance which time has proved they have not taken and been massive failures.
.
As regards Allardyce hoofball I have never changed my mind. I started playing and then watching football for entertainment and that has not changed. Allardyce never offered entertainment and now only looks average standard because Kean is so bad but compared to Souness, Hughes, Kenny etc etc I can still see Allardyce hoofball for what it was - not entertainment and I do regret suffering 18 months of it. Some fans are too short term in remembering this.
.
As regards my Ewood attendance I have been on Ewood every season for 50 years and over 40 of those was as a full ST holder. If you discount blues on that basis there will not be many left! At present 75% of ST's at least have chosen not to renew despite the giveaway prices and that is because they know kean has to go or fools are still running the club how ever many times job titles are changed.

(A) asks,"what am I holding in my hand, it's a piece of paper do you agree?".
(B) replies, "yes".
This is obviously correct. (A) then asks (B), "what is written on this piece of paper?", (B) replies, "the word 'perception'". (A) then challenges (B) saying, "no it doesn't, it's blank" because the side of the paper (B) can see is in fact blank.
This is the power of perception. Both (A) and (B) are right.
There is always truth in every situation/circumstan
ce. Truth with a capital 'T' that is. But until we are in possession of ALL the facts and begin to think 'properly' we cannot establish what the real truth is and the fact of the matter is nobody is in possession of ALL the facts from the inside of BRFC and Venkys. Which makes much of the debate in this thread futile.
For the record though, based on results and how he has conducted himself, I think SK should have been relieved of his post!

I do not believe Venkys have managed the club well. It is of great concern and until all of the facts are available about the dealings surrounding the purchase of the club, its management and the direction/strategy adopted thereafter, both camps could equally be right or equally wrong. That is all I was trying to point out. Notwithstanding this it doesn't mean that either party in this debate shouldn't care about their club.
Sometimes the debate becomes trivial at best and deteriorates at times into who is wearing a the biggest 'badge of honour'.
Some have chosen to vote with their feet, others prefer to have their voice heard at Ewood.
It is all a personal choice. I understand it brings out people's passion and wanting to prove/win an argument. Just respect that like all things in life everything is a choice and often when we change the way we look at things the things we look at change.
