Blackburn Rovers seek Olsson talks
9:54am Friday 13th July 2012 in News
By Andy Cryer, Blackburn Rovers reporter
REQUEST Martin Olsson
BLACKBURN Rovers will seek clear the air talks with Martin Olsson next week – but are adamant they won’t let him leave unless they receive an offer ‘they can’t refuse’.
The Swedish international handed in a transfer request a fortnight ago but club sources insist he has since told boss Steve Kean he is happy to remain at Ewood Park.
Olsson’s representatives remain adamant the player is determined to quit Ewood Park this summer to land a return to the Premier League, and Rovers’ hierarchy will look to quiz Olsson again on his intentions when he returns to pre-season training in a few days time.
If Olsson does reiterate his desire to quit East Lancashire, Rovers are determined to only sell him for the ‘right price’, with valuations of between £5million to £8million put on his head.
Rovers though are currently planning for the new campaign with Olsson in their squad but want to clarify the player’s own wishes as soon as possible next week.
Rovers have only received one offer for the 24-year-old since last season’s Premier League relegation, but the £1.5m bid from an unnamed club was dismissed out of hand by owners Venky’s.
The majority of Rovers fans still fear a mass exodus this summer after the club dropped out of the Premier League last season, with top scorer Yakubu so far the only departure.
Out of contract Junior Hoilett is expected to sign elsewhere imminently, with QPR leading the chase, while Steven Nzonzi has been left out of Rovers’ Austrian training camp after he informed the club he wanted out.
The future of Gael Givet remains uncertain with sources close to the Frenchman adamant talks are still to be had to discuss the current terms of his contract. Rovers remain hopeful the player will remain at Ewood Park.
The club’s efforts to land midfielder Adrien Silva from Sporting Lisbon remain ongoing despite the Portuguese club saying yesterday they were confident the player would stay.
Meanwhile, Rovers’ operations director Paul Agnew has said the club’s new signings have settled into life at Rovers during the Austrian training camp.
Leon Best, Danny Murphy, Nuno Gomes and Fabio Nunes have all been involved, with Agnew insisting boss Steve Kean has been delighted with the week’s efforts.
Agnew said: “It has been intense, with three training sessions a day in very, very hot conditions. Speaking to Steve though, he says it has been very valuable.
“The new signings have settled straight away, which is obviously important for the coming season.”

Why is nothing ever clear and transparent at this club anymore? Hopefully we keep hold of all of these players and remove the man to blame for this mess. Can't believe Nottingham Forest haven't come calling for the services of Steve Kean...

Regarding comments ask for on Hendry's pending appointment mentioned in the LT by the Venkys new 'PR' man Andy Cryer - says give him a chance - well my point of view is just another job for the boys - one of Keans drinking partners who's son is already at Brockhall!!
Yes we have a smooth talking 'global adviser' - a convicted drink driver' Manager' - a silent PR/Operations Director - invisible' 'Owners ' who have ruined a once proud club inside twelve months - a pending appointment of a 'Bankrupt' with poor Management CV and the ' merry go-round' continues to turn!!
OUT WITH KEAN AGNEW VENKYS SINGH

The infamous, un-named "club source" again - has he withdrawn his request then?
£10mill for N'Zonzi, £8 mill for Olsson, we'll be able to sign the entire Malaysian national team at this rate. Or the Portugese under 21 squad - from 1994. Shebby can even bring his TV crew over as well.
Who knows? The brothers Grimm might be able to upgrade to business class for their two flights a year over to England.
Clear the air talks?
"So Martin, Steve says you're happy to stay at Ewood Park"
"I think Mr Kean misunderstood; I said I was happy to stay at Ewood Park whilst they were in Austria so I wouldn't have to fly back to sign for somebody else, anybody else, please let me go".
"So you definitely want to stay then? Good we'll let the fans know; source, club source, we've got some more BS for you to release".

I recall Hull and Burnley going down and the lack of investment at those two clubs led to them being mid table clubs with a good chance of relegation so hopefully we wont be in that position and love him or hate him Kean may take us back up.

It isn't rocket science considering the demands of the Championship. Our squad, should the usual suspects leave, will see a threadbare squad unable to cope with the demands. Throw in injury and suspensions, and we are exposed.
My biggest concern is that we are going to have unhappy players attempting in the push for a so called immediate return to the Prem. The caustic nature down at Ewood is not to be sniffed at, and could land us in serious trouble ?
Every team who plays BRFC(Wolves and BWFC apart) will pull out all the stops for preventing this, and my biggest concern is that we do not have the experience in combating this right the way through the club.
Unfortunately, nothing fills me with any optimism under this rag tag regime.
I want to know just what it is that Venky see in the 'Odious One's' tenure thus far that allows for him to remain in one of the most crucial of roles that doesn't allow for the outpouring of cynicism that I feel ? It is such a disgraceful lack of respect on every supporter.
Remember this - The opening game of 2011/2012 season v Wolves had N'zonzi in central defense, who in turn was woeful to say the least !
Looking at the possible scenario we could be left with no central defenders or at best unhappy players !
Reasons to be cheerful ?
From the bottom of my heart I truly wish for BRFC in succeeding regardless of that which lay's before us, and who happens to be in charge ?
I hear this ringing in my lugs from Mark Hughes:
"We will never be in this situation again as long as I'm in charge"
I believe him 100% and know that that will be the case. Wish I could embrace the same sentiment from this caustic imposter.
T'up the Rovers :)

Every morning I'm crying over my cornflakes wringing out every bit of optimism I can find with this 2 year blasted horror show that shows no signs of abating on the evidence thus far.
What is the midfield fixation with this lot ? If we have this alarming situation over the center of defense just what are they doing in rectifying it ? As there ever been a situation were so many are showing public dissent in wanting away from BRFC ? The break up of the Champions team is the only one I can genuinely think of, but it wasn't as bad as this, was it ? Going down isn't always a bad thing as under Souness we witnessed, but this feels a whole lot different, and very sad in witnessing !
Unbelievable isn't it, but non the less an absolute reality :(
Get him out and I will gladly return and roar the boy's in the B&W shirt on with pleasure.
Why is he still in his post ? Staggering pal !
Hope your well Mr.Morst :)

here's a thought. why don't we let those that are searching for more info on such matters crack on, and should that fail, we will know for definite at the end of the transfer window. until then, i would suggest such comments can only possibly be utter speculation. unless, of course, you can provide something to backup your claims?

A double edged sword !
A disgusting and loathsome character as far as I'm concerned, and will never have an ounce of respect from myself, and this is from a guy who supported him in the most practical of terms from the outset slowly but surely eating away any optimism I had. The Cardiff forfeit game, that I attended, finished me off. That display, on that evening, highlighted in sharp focus just what this guy is capable of whilst hiding behind some form of professional integrity. I witnessed folk's ashen look at Cardiff utter bewilderment, and not funny at all ! This was before we knew that the game had that slant to it ! I will never forgive him that little indiscretion nor the utter abject display on that evening.
In a nutshell:
It's wrong !

You try to compare Givet's drink driving with that of the Inept One's but omit one big difference.
Givet admitted he had done wrong and took the blame on the chin. He did something stupid and reprehensible but when caught put his hands up and took his punishment like a man.
The Inept One on the other hand tried to concoct some fairytale regarding his drink being spiked. Unlike Mrs D and the rest of the Venky clan, the Court could see his excuse for what it was total bull.

Driving under the influence of drink is an heinous act, and for those to attempt in wriggling out of it are lower than the low, and, in Keans case, does refuse to acknowledge the serious gravity of his actions.
Spiked ? Well, if I'd have been spiked with drink then I'm **** well sure I would know of the effect on me, and certainly not got into a potential 'Bullet' at the potential cost of a live or lives.
We are all responsible for our actions and deference should follow making sure that we do not repeat the deadly deed.
This is a person in a responsible position with eye's all over him, but not once have I seen a humility in him to sway me from his selfish and abject ways.
We all fall from grace from time to time. Kean is no different.
A dark and distinct time in the history of BRFC.

The swan as died a dastardly death ! I just see an ugly child screaming It's lungs out !
My train of thought as arrived at that which suggests Venky had no intention of ever honoring that which J Walker built, but to go back to the ways of pre Walker for BRFC ?
If a business is not sustainable at that which we became accustomed to then at least make that public in a way that doesn't hang a sort of dishonor for them. They are 100% at this time apportioning a large sum of money out of BRFC without really reinvesting, in my opinion ?
The debts are, according to reports, no longer an issue thus we have to believe that reinvestment will surface at some point ? Only time will reveal just what investment Venky are prepared to implement. So far we have seen very little in so far as to that which will strengthen the squad on a long term basis ! More or less every player acquired under the 'Odious One' as or is out the door, out the team. This doesn't bode well in the slightest for any stability.
It certainly aids the pessimism that a vast majority of us supporters feel ?
I hope your well Mr Eddie and you/we can get back down to Ewood sooner rather than later ?

But its hard for us to want Rovers not to win?

We over hear in Blackburn have noticed that you are looking for a new manager and we may have just the person.
If you are interested in our 'Brilliant Manager' just shout and there are circa 20,000 volunteers willing to drive him over on hand, he would drive himself but some nasty person spiked his drink, put a brick on his acelerator and taped a mobile phon to his ear and as such he is paying the price.
There are a few over hear who may miss him, Paul Agnew, Derek Shaw and some 7 Dan bodyguard, but that is about it.
He will willingly spend your money on no marks, and has beens and will also fall out with any decent player you may have and also **** off your entire fan base, but look on the positive side, just think how easy it will be to get to games (something some owners never do by the way).
Only trying to help.

If he's thinks he's a top lad he should he get in the ring with those who are willing to show him he's not. Acting the way he does he's just the worst kind of turd.
I said on another thread I think we should welcome each and every player who comes to Rovers, regardless of what's going on at the club, but that would never be the case with that bullying bellend Barton. Him coming to Rovers would just be one more reason to think something seriously rotten is happening to our club.

I've only read briefly about the twitter thing on BRFCS, and obviously if there was any kind of harassment it's a total disgrace. Anything other than a warm welcome to a new player's wife is wrong IMO.
But posting a picture of someone on somewhere like this. I can't ever remember that happening here before, not in years and years.
Your behaviour is not something from a "genuine fan". It is something dark instead. "lovemyrovers" - with behaviour like yours, your username sounds like some kind of sick joke.

What you've done is something completely different though. Posting pics of people online like this is highly highly suspicious.
You are therefore highly highly suspicious "lovemyrovers". A concerned fan who's never been interested enough to post about Rovers before, but finally feel compelled, such is your high regard of Steve Kean and the Venkys. But then you suddenly have pictures of people that you are willing to post online.
As for your username, "lovemyrovers". You certainly don't seem to love the same Rovers as most people, but I'm guessing that could be your point - is it your Rovers now not ours?

So what are you saying is if some goon had been celebrating when we were relegated (one step backwards, two forward, and all that), any fan who took exception would immediately be dingle? What planet are you on?
I'm guessing you only want to hear positives. You sound very much like someone we know.

I hardly see any "goon celebrating " last season, except maybe a Dingle, maybe you need to ask yourself whether the Mulder and scully inside you is getting too paranoid for your own good. Or is it because you can't stand anyone being happy?

I was there and read all the comments and you read about it on the brfcs site but still feel compelled to butt your nose in without being fully aware of the facts. I was going to respond to him personally but enough decent rovers out there got there before me and him and his other mate were duly blocked. boohoo that you think it's wrong that he should be exposed.
Joanna Murphy comes across a decent down to earth person who responded with dignity and should not have to pit up with the anti-everything harassing her.
that's a fact.

I for one believe Murphy as captain is going to make life difficult for keano as he's known for string leadership and likely to take on Kean if the bull decisions from last season are repeated.
Kean won't like the ex-fulham skipper going on prod as someone quoted.

On behalf of all Rovers supporters, would you please ask Steve Kean why he has not felt the need to at least make a public apology regarding his abhorrent management of the club we love. In all honesty ( and sincerely) without malice, it makes my stomach turn when article after article mentions that kean has gone here or done this and that, shot over to Portugal etc. I cringe when the phrase 'Rovers boss' is applied to him. Surely Andy, every time the telegraph does approach Kean, or interviews him face to face, questions should constantly be put to him until answers are finally unearthedl. Their is no rocket science involved here. The supporters deserve to hear Kean say that he bogged up, they need to hear him say that in any normal football club his position would have been untenable months ago, and he would, by now, have been sacked. No true Rovers supporter, whether a mouthy dissenter like me, or the hundreds who have been worn down by the 'Lack of kean PR machine.' {catchy eh?) will ever be happy with kean in charge, because that would mean accepting, and, being a part of his sad delusional world. He has the job, he has the wage, but whilst at Rovers, unless he accepts that Northerners value honesty, pride and hard work and he crawls, begging for forgiveness and another chance. He will never have the kudos of a top rated football manager because his record at Rovers will haunt him as well as us. I could not live like that, no Lancastrian I know could live like that....... why should we have to put up with someone like that.
Every Match, let the Rovers Roar KEAN OUT!!!!!
