    Well, now can some body tell me that my conspiracy theories about HRH Kean being unsackable because of his and Andersons financial involvement with Rovers, this is the hold he has. Venkys which I still believe have no say in what happens at the club and are nothing but a front, only being involved as a way of getting their company into Europe. They are **** scared of the truth coming out about how these affairs have been conducted. I always thought their was a process of due diligence before a club was sold onto a new owner. Looks like the Walker trust didn't do their job right, and one of them was Jack Walkers personal Lawyer. I have never seen such a bunch of w*****s in my life. Sorry to say! but the future doesn't bode well two mid thirtys signings. If you read this Mr Cryer ask the Venkys about the allegations that I have just stated, I can imagine their will be a sound of silence.
    You may be right Pedro but will we ever know? The only sure thing is that Venkys will keep their wall of silence in place. You pinpoint the actual root cause of all the troubles though - the Walkers Trust who are the ones that really sold us up the river (or across the continents) to a group of people in India that have zero understanding of football and to whom I am 100% sure that Jack would NEVER have agreed to sell to. Nothing to be done about that now though unfortunately.

    BTW what is the result of the Pedro Jury on the attendance at the first home game v Hull? How can I run a book if you all forget to place your bets...."

Blackburn Rovers boss preparing for the Premier League

STEVE Kean insists Blackburn Rovers are already preparing for their Premier League return – but admits they are resigned to doing it without Junior Hoilett.

The Canadian starlet is currently without a club after his Rovers contract expired but, despite keeping their offer on the table for him, Kean admits they are now preparing without him.

It is understood QPR and Newcastle are among the Premier League teams interested in Hoilett, while there are also numerous suitors from abroad.

But, with Danny Murphy, Leon Best and Nuno Gomes already on board this summer, and other signings planned, Kean believes Rovers are looking beyond just getting promotion.

He said: “The thing is Junior is out of contract.

“We put an offer in front of him that never had any signature. We have to plan without him now.

“The type of signings we are making shows you what we are trying to do this season. We have been working hard. Myself and Shebby Singh flew back from a meeting with the owners in Zurich on Friday morning.

“When we get to the level we want to get to, we are signing players who can play at that level.

“It is not just players who can get you there, it is players who have already done well there.

“You can get players who might get you out of the league and then they might struggle a little bit. But Leon Best and Danny Murphy and Nuno Gomes are players of pedigree and quality.”

The addition of 36-year-old former Benfica striker Gomes has raised eyebrows among some.

But Kean is adamant the striker is not coming here ‘to graze’ and is hopeful the majority of last season’s squad will also stay together.

Kean said: “If Nuno had wanted to go into the sunset he would have gone to Qatar or LA, he wouldn’t have come to the north west.

“I know what sort of financial package he could have got elsewhere. He has certainly not come here to graze.

“I have been talking to most of the players and they are telling me they want to stay. Whether they are telling their agents something else I don’t know.

“We would like to keep the majority of the squad together. We think we can have, if not the best squad, one of the best squads in the league.”
