thanks for a (decade?) of loyalty.
Guess hugging Kean opens up doors for you in far away places.

Dont blame him I'd move to China if they paid me a footballers wage. Just think no listening to Steve Kean telling you how positive everything is.

"The Yak" will obviously regret this as we will be Premier League Champions in 2013/14

Silly comment really.. His 0,5 goals pr game WILL be missed no matter how lazy he was.. And the season before that he did the same in the Championship, so sure he could have done it again.. No doubt a combination of insane amounts of money and a wish to get as far away from Kean as possible.. Dont we all..

I'd accept 3m a year to be 6000 miles away from Kean. Next...

He was the one cheap buy that paid off. Clearly could have been fitter - a lot fitter!
Last night, I bumped into a Rovers fan who I used to have a beer with under the stands. He has another season ticket - he says he just can't stop going, even though he hates the Venkys. I cannot go because I hate the Venkys.

Season tickets prices have been extended again, until 1st august, after that the cheapest adult ticket will be £259.
So season ticket sales not going so well then, get rid of the lick lipper and sales will rocket, untill they get rid of that muppet my money is staying in my pocket end of.

AGREE !!
The ignorance and lack of respect from the venkys towards the fans is disgusting, all we want is a bit of clarity but until they start listening and Kean is gone forever i will not enter Ewood park again, i bought my ticket back in APRIL but have just been back for a full refund along with 9 others.
KEAN OUT !! KEAN OUT !!

We can't blame any player for wanting to get as far away from Kean and co, as they can. Many more of them will be following him out the door, and who can blame them? Wish we could go too, but we are seemingly stuck with him too. The only thing we can do is stay away. Looks like there will be plenty staying away. Extending the ST deadline shows how well they are selling.
