Pedersen's Rovers future uncertain

FOR SALE Pedersen FOR SALE Pedersen

MORTEN Gamst Pedersen is one of a number of a players put up for sale by Blackburn Rovers as the club continues its rebuilding process.

The Norwegian has made more than 300 appearances for Rovers in an Ewood career spanning eight years but his future at the club now looks bleak.

The Lancashire Telegraph understands Rovers do not see Pedersen as part of their plans for the coming campaign and will circulate his name to clubs at home and abroad.

Pedersen is believed to be joined by Radosav Petrovic, Jordan Slew, Nick Blackman and Amine Linganzi as being surplus to requirements at Rovers – as the club look to make room for their young talent to progress into the senior squad.

Rovers are already understood to have received enquiries about potential loan moves for them and they would willing to let them leave on a temporary basis – if no satisfactory permanent offers come in.

The club continue to look for a striker and informal enquiries were continuing to last night to determine if Huddersfield’s Jordan Rhodes could be attracted to Ewood Park, although no bid has been made.

Pedersen arrived at Rovers in 2004 and has established himself as a regular in midfield almost ever since.

He is still contracted to the club until 2014 and is understood to want to stay and fight for his place, although Rovers have other ideas.

Pedersen would attract signific-ant interest among clubs world-wide and a move could yet tempt him.

Rovers are also keen to offload Petrovic, having only signed him for around £2m last summer.

Petrovic has struggled to adapt to the pace of the English game and Greek outfit Olympiakos are understood to have shown some initial interest, although they are yet to pursue it further.

Slew, also signed last summer for in the region of £1m, is likely to leave the club on loan having failed to make an impact, while Linganzi and Blackman are also players Rovers are keen to offload.

Ruben Rochina and Simon Vukcevic remain in Rovers’ future plans, however.

Spaniard Rochina has only played a bit part this summer but, once he meets the fitness standards required, Rovers are hopeful he can play a role in their Championship campaign.

Vukcevic is currently working his way back to fitness after under-going nose surgery this summer.

Well, won't be sorry to see Petrovic go as he definitely lost us goals and points last year but if BRFC keeping Vucjevic why did the Donut not play him more often last season? How many games/minute did he actually play for the first team?

MGP is a Blackburn Fan, has been loyal to the club for 8 years, is a genuine guy and could definitely do a good job in the championship. He is the sort of player we need, getting rid of him would be disgraceful despite the fact that he hasnt played great accross the last few seasons...

I think I would get a game but does anyone really expect me to leave Melchester and sign for Kean? Get off the funny pills!

i can see the point of offloading pedersen now. but i have already seen Lancs point to this being conclusive proof of asset stripping, so i can't see that this will be well received.
pefersen has been nothing more than mediocre in the last couple of seasons and whilst you get effort most of the time, he seems to have lost an ability to pass a ball accurately. we cannot afford to lose posession so easily whatever league we're in.
petrovic is certainly worse than pedersen, so i can see the reasoning for letting him go too. he's one of those that could end up being decent, but he's a way off right now.
slew, blackman and linganzi have never really been part of things so it's hard to have too much of an opinion.
good to see vukcevic and rochina still being part of the plans. time to give both of them a proper go in the side i reckon, as they can both cope with it.

he's underperformed for a number of seasons, as you said. so why keep him?

That's right with the lunatics get shut of more experience just under 3 weeks to the big KO.

I wondered when MGP would be become a casualty of this regime ?

So, I wish MGP all the best in who ever he decides to join.

I loathe this losing odious cretin.

Simply embarrassing.

Firstly, we have nobody better to replace him, and wont be able to sign anybody better than him! Secondly, only good crosser of the ball in our team. Thirdly, loyalty! he's just about the only Blackburn player who has publicly come out this summer and said he wants to stay!

10:33am Thu 2 Aug 12

Who would you rather have - MGP or Anderson? Can't believe he's not on the list. He should be booted out the door straight away, but Daddy clearly has some influence on the Keanius...

Kick in the teeth for loyalty there. I agree MGP has been ineffective over the last couple of seasons, but with some of the players we still have there, I'd certainly keep Ped.

Not bothered about Petrovic to be honest. Strange Stevie wanting to sell one of the players he wanted to be judged on! And to think, he said Bruno was the only player he'd brought in who hadn't had the desired impact.

Cheers for the service Morten. Fancy staying on as manager?

Its not asset stripping LP....

Its simply selling the players that you don't want. Every club does it and are doing it right now as in every close season.

Lets face it we are not going to get much money into the club for that lot anyway. The wages we will save wont pay for a weekend away in Blackpool....

Does this mean that we are going to keep the others like Dann, Robbo and Olsson?

Even with the Shebmeister there is not enough info coming out about what team we are likely to be able to put out in two weeks time for the start of the season. Still all very worrying - even for me the 'positive' one.

MGP's experience would make him an excellent championship player. His delivery, loyalty and experience are invaluable. How can you get rid of a player with the likes of Vukavic and Rochina as a replacement neither are better players. Under Venkys and Kean we are doomed! How have people renewed! Kean Out! NOW. Pederson, I wish you all the best for the future, sorry this has come just over two weeks before the start of the season! Good luck

SK comes out with comments yesterday that Martin Olsson is "Not for sale and is staying put".. He wants to leave the club. MGP has commited to rovers long before we were relegated, and is a blue n white through and through, and he is shown the door. SK keeps piping on at how much experience he has lost - load of bull - he then forces the experience out of the club. I am fuming! The lad can still hack it, got great stamina, and a cross & half on him... oh wait we still have Dunny to do that...

Yes, I have to agree. He hasn't been able to follow up his second season at Rovers and his wages are allegedly astronomical (I was told 50K per week). Not ime for luxury in the Championship.

Morning Frenchy and Lancs. I would say that all these players going is not a bad thing really as non of them were in the side last season and I suspect are not good enough to be in the side this season. Therefore without looking back at other players that have been sold in the last 18 months I would say that letting these players go is not asset stripping but getting rid of the weaker element. The two problems with what I have just said is that you cant forget the loss of players in the last 18 months and there could be another load of players that we could get rid of due to being a weak element. Bottom line is non of this is good unless we replace with good new signings. Rhodes would be a good start but I still remain doubtful.

Agree Woody - that goal against Dingles eh?

Pedersen thumps it and takes the beast into the back of the net with the ball. The Burnley fans behind the goal look devastated!

Then his (nearly) greatest moment against the mighty Chelsea in FA Cup semi 5 mins to go 1-1 and you would have put your house on him nodding that one in - ah well!

This sets Venkys plan out - cheap and cheerful like their chickens - unfortunately for Rovers fans not so cheerful.

Just the right time to get rid of experience like last season - are we not all excited by Keans plans

No wonder there is acrimony at Ewood with these people in charge. If Pederson had said he wouldnt play in the Championship the heirachy would accuse him of abandoning a sinking ship

Will David Dunn be next or is he part of Keans inner circle of yes men -

Well I for one think he has been past his sell by date for 4 years now,to slow to be a left winger and again not fast enough to be a front player all his repatoire is based on his dead ball prowess which isnt worth much.I agree that the Kean signings should also be sold off as Kean has not really got a clue on player potential he lives off the back of other peoples discoveries.

Anderson is only here because there`s nobody else that would buy him,The one thing I can tell you with absolute certainty is he will never play for the first team lol can you imagine the ruckus if he did step out on to the field at Ewood.
Pity about Pederson though,he is a good player when he wants to be. The problem with him now is he is part of the furniture,the lad needs to find himself a new club or spend a bit of time on the sidelines it would be a breath of fresh air to his game. Loyalty is a rare thing in football but it doesn`t always earn you points especially when its coupled with complacency.

11:59am Thu 2 Aug 12

Pedersen should have been off-loaded years ago when he was one of the most over-rated players in the world. Seems strange to try and do it now when his stock has plummeted, and when he might actually be effective.

I believe Kean wants "his players" around him, so we're left with a midfield of teenagers and those close to retirement.

Good news about Petrovic though, and the rest are irrelevant. Worth noting though that Blackman is one of Jerome's boys.

The reality is Venky's plan was to wait until they had sold as many season tickets as possible then off load as many players as posssible. Irrespective of whether you think MGP was a good player for the championship or not Venky's will now cash in more assets (players) and play with loan signings or young players from the academy. The nonsense from Shebby Singh, Kean, Hendry etc. that promotion this season is all the club is focused on is ridiculous.
We do not have a squad in sufficient depth and coverage to achieve it especially under the idiot Kean.

Another sad loss and as has been pointed out waiting till after ST deadline to do it.
Mind you from some of the comments there are actually still people out there that havent actually grasped what is happening.... must admit I have come across quite a few at Ewood who seem to have the mental capacity of an ameoba in my time so no suprise..... mind you I didnt think there were over 3000 of them..... or whatever the latest figures are for ST renewers.

i disagree.
we have already signed someone better in murphy. saying absolutely that we wouldn't be able to sign someone better to directly replace him seems a bit absolutlist.
he's not the only good crosser in the team at all. and in the positions he has been used recently (central) he doesn't get too many chances. personally i think olssen is a better crosser. i'm sure others can do a job if we start playing with genuine wingers.
sure he can hit a dead ball, but let's face it, he's not prolific.
and as for loyalty, what's the value of that. there were times when he was being courted by the likes of man u, that he was tempted to jump ship. and how much should we be willing to pay for loyalty if performance is not there to match.
as i said, he's not terrible by any stretch, but time for a change...? yes i reckon so.

I feel this is a Keith Andrews situation all over again. As fans you should be ashamed.

If you look at Pedersen's stats, he consistently sets up goals and also runs more miles than anyone on the pitch. He also gets himself in the way of a lot and wins the ball back. He is a calming influence in a team which consistently has its head down. Yes he gives the ball away but at least he tries to pick out a forward pass. Everyone else last season was passing sideways. Afraid that the fans would be all over them for giving the ball away.

I am not saying we should play him on the left wing but as a central midfielder he started to look good before Kean decided to start playing Dunn again. If he had a run of games in central midfield I'm sure he's better than what we have in that position.

Petrovic is another one that if we gave him some games could turn into a strong box to box midfielder. Especially with N'Zonzi going it seems he would be the perfect replacement.

It is patently obvious that Kean not only struggles to work with what he has - he also is incapable of creating a team of his own. Pedersen and Petrovic would be two to keep. There is plenty of deadwood in the squad that could be shipped out.

I am very doubtful that Venky's and Kean will find anyone fit to clean Pedersen's boots.

Surprised this article has talked about the previous achievements of Pedersen, Shebby Singh clearly stated on the radio that every member of the team and staff were being judged from his appointment. The Clean Slate hasn't lasted very long for these five players maybe he could explain what they have done wrong in the last month. If we are judging players on the past why are we not judging the manager on the past?

They haven't sold enough season tickets so they have to sell somebody. Perhaps Pedersen, even though he has the experience Rovers say they want just as Salgado, Samba, Nelsen etc had, is their best hope of bringing some cash in, in their way of thinking. Or pehaps he said something that Kean overheard.

Sometimes it's only when the likes of Pederson leaves (thrown out) that you miss them, yes Pederson was what I call a workhorse, his crossess where ok his long throws again as good as anyone's in the PL and finaly he had experience, taking into the fact he was dropping a division and wanted to stay, I find it odd they push him out, possibly just down to his wages, what's your take on all the replacements though, Three freebys and Anderson still here, very worrying times and yet again just before the season starts!!!

In my opinion Peds form has dipped ever since Venkys came in and Kean became mamager. I have met him and I can say even having a ten minute chat with him, that he is without doubt a confidence player and a very very nice guy.

Given that his DIP in form has coincided with Keans involvement, does it seem right that he is now being shown the door? I think he will do well at Championship level, especially when a new manager comes in. The word Manager means that you manage people and I firmly believe managed the right way, he will come good again!

Shebby is winning the war! Yes, indeed this is what is happening - Shebby decides who comes and who goes now, he knows full well what has gone on in the past and Keanocchio really IS on borrowed time.

Shebby is currently drip feeding you little tit bits - and he will speak out more and more publicly once 'the deed' has been done - and it will be barring some 'freak' results prolonging our agony.

Don't worry about Mrs. D - Kean, Agnew, Shaw - et al are still running to her telling their tales ... fear not Shebby is reporting to Bilaji (of ponytail!) who is in effect now running the club ... we have a massive split in the club, but Shebby is 'doing his work' and we'll move full steam ahead one Kean get's chopped ... why we have to wait, I'm not quite sure ... but put it this way Shebby is already seeing things on a daily basis and forming his opinions - he doesn't rate Pedersen, Petrovic (way too slow for the English league and more akin to a sweeper!), Slew, Blackman and Linganzi just don't 'cut it'!

Pedersens performances last season were his worst ever in a Rovers shirt, whether that is down to him being past it, or down to the managerial excellence of Karl Pilkington is probably something we will never know.
-
All we do know is that Karl Pilkington manages to get the worst out of the players and the team as a whole, and we ridiculously under performed last season as we have done throughout his time at Rovers.

Bald drunken scottish fraud out.
Competent manager in.

Remember this is just a new list - Olsson will be gone shortly. After all Fester has told us he is staying.

What has happened to Givet? Sales will happen just before deadline giving no time to re-invest (remember Samba).

I wish they would announce the number of season tickets sold.

I predict the opening match crowd will be an absolute shocker - midweek in August against Hull City. Less than 10k including away fans. Lowest league crowd for decades, hopefully attracting embarrassing media attention.

Can anyone tell me what Shabby's response was on Radio Lancashire when asked why Kean was still in position - can't locate it on i-player. Thanks.

We need more experience! I know, let's get rid of all the experienced players, the latest being MGP, one of the few players whohas shown any loyalty to the club.

If anyone had any doubt now about the intentions of Venky's, Walter Mitty, and the Three Stooges, surely that doubt must now be gone.

"Here we go to Ewood Park, asset stripping we will go, here we go to Ewood Park, asset stripping we will go."

There are no losses in that list of "For Sale". Pederson is the only one who will raise an eyebrow in some quarters but to be honest his last two seasons have been generally poor and we have seen his best days. Lets make way for some new talent

MxMave says...
3:09pm Thu 2 Aug 12

Most people are missing the point. Peds has been quite dire but:
a) who else plays left wing and is left footed?
b) who else can take set pieces?
c) who else can take long throws?
d) weve dropped a division.

When peds didnt play last year we did suffer in all those areas. It shouldnt be one man responsible for all those aspects of the game. We need replacements before we can offload and I think for peds service to the club he deserves 6 months at championship level to proove himself. Fyi, check the FIFA player stats for peds last year, he was one of the highest rated players in the prem for clear cut chance creation (2.2pg).

I agree his last two seasons have been poor but that coincides with the emergence of Kean as manager. In general the whole team has been poor since Kean arrived. I can't help but think though, that MGP with his experience, would be a good enough player in the Championship.

Harwoodstblue says...

PS. I think the real reason they want rid of MGP though, is because he is still one of the few remaining high earners and this is just more cost cutting.

MGP will be going nowhere if he really is on anywhere near 50K a week. No club in the world is going to match that. Remember he has a contract. It's not soely down to the club if they want to sell him. He has to agree to go. The only thing that will possibly happen is that he will go out on loan with the loanee club contributing only a part of his wages.

Hi Givet,
My take on most players being shipped out is they are gagged or threatened (or given a backhander) for saying nothing when they leave, I hope MGP who I did rate for his effort alone has the balls to come out and say what is realy going on down a Ewood Park, lets wait and see.
For Samba,Nelson (ex captains) and Emerton Roberts Salgardo not to say anything when they left is very suspisious, although Salgardo did say some negative things I believe.

As much as i hate Venkys. I don't think anyone can put this down to asset stripping.

Pedersen hasn't been iffy for a long time now and is on HUGE wages. I'm hoping we will hold onto Martin Olsson with his departure, Olsson can play LM and we can bring in a LB.

We would be much much better like this.

Radosav Petrovic has been very poor since he signed, and if we can get our money back and reinvest then why not sell him? My only concern would be a lack of CDM, so hopefully we will at least sign one experienced one.

Jordan Slew has been very poor since we signed him, from what i have heard Slew has not been transfer listed, the club are looking to get him out on a season long loan at a team reasonably high on the condition he gets played.

Nick Blackman is one of those will he, won't he players.
Looking at how inconsistent he has been at different clubs when out on loan, if we had a offer of anywhere near a million for him, we should take it as he is costing us at the moment and giving us no return.

As for Amine Linganzi, 2 games in 2 years. He's been deemed not good enough and his wages can be used better elsewhere.

Out of the players listed for transfer only 2 of them can be considered 1st teamers.

Both will be on high wages and have been underperforming. So if we can replace them with players, or even one player who will hit the ground running, and then help another player currently at the team do better, then so be it.

Let's not forget that getting the above players off the clubs books will save MILLIONS per season.

Saggy sh1tstabber needs to fire keans arse, if he wants a better manager he need only ask Paul ince, who had a better record and still got potted. C'mon Saggy get him his p45.

Hi Robbo Sometimes it's only when the likes of Pederson leaves (thrown out) that you miss them, yes Pederson was what I call a workhorse, his crossess where ok his long throws again as good as anyone's in the PL and finaly he had experience, taking into the fact he was dropping a division and wanted to stay, I find it odd they push him out, possibly just down to his wages, what's your take on all the replacements though, Three freebys and Anderson still here, very worrying times and yet again just before the season starts!!!
maybe just maybe if you had bought a season ticket just like a whole lot of others we wouldnt need to offload his wages ... ever think about that ?
Hi Robbo,
I have to say I have just got back in and have read some of your posts, to say this is a debating page you are rather aggressive, if some one disagrees with you thats it, its there opinion, no need for aggressive reactions, we are all fans of the same football club so grow up, listen to other peoples opinions and have a sensible debate.

Now replying to your answer, no I have not purchased a season ticket because its my way (obviously not yours) but my way of getting rid of these terrible owners and the terrible manager, I will keep my cash until they have gone.

My reasons have been printed on these pages many a time and I will not reprint them or this blogg would be a mile long, but cutting it short I fear for my club, I fear it will fold under these people, yes fold and I will not be part of it, I will do all within my power to get these people out by any means I can, I may not achieve this on my own but as a collective with many other stay away fans I hope we can, like most I am doing because I love my club, it may be wrong and it may be right but I am going to do something.

Please take note Robbo I do not call anyone who carrys on going to Ewood that is there choice, but asked my opinion I would ask people to stay away as I feel what I am doing is correct.

There you go Robbo, no shouting no threatening just a good old debate, I await your answer and will leave your peers to vote on your reply be it good or bad.

The whole team has been underperforming under Venkys. Why single MGP out. OK he's on good money but isn't it only last week Kean was saying " We need experience." Do you not think MGP is capable of doing a good job in The Chumpionship ? They want him out to get him off the payroll and cut costs so it seems they have learned nothing from last season.

It's like someone else said, they could bring in Ronaldo, Rooney and messi and they would all tumble in value after a season at this circus.

About a week ago they were saying we need to bring in experience, the new Rovers is just about talking.

Football is something that used to happen at ewood, it's now just an ego trip for a few undesireables.

Finally!
Never been more frustrated watching a rovers player i think. Up there with andrews and grabbi. He just flat out gave the ball away 5-10 times a game, often on his own half! Hardly any pressure around him. Cant tackle, cant dribble. And whats good being a "workhorse" if he just jogs along with the player without being able to kick the ball away?

Pedersen has been loyal to his wages, which were drastically raised a couple of years ago when he was out of contract.
This so-called Rovers fan were smiling and laughing after the embarrassing tottenham game when relegation was becoming a fact.

Someone else can take the free-kicks and corners and whats the use of the long throw without samba/nznonz? Send up Dann right?

Pederson's contribution over the last couple of seasons has exceeded the contribution made by Dunny. They are probably on the same money, they both are committed to BRFC, but Dunny stays and Peds is given the boot. Wouldn't be anything to do with Dunny coming out in support of Kean would it?

Hi Robbo Sometimes it's only when the likes of Pederson leaves (thrown out) that you miss them, yes Pederson was what I call a workhorse, his crossess where ok his long throws again as good as anyone's in the PL and finaly he had experience, taking into the fact he was dropping a division and wanted to stay, I find it odd they push him out, possibly just down to his wages, what's your take on all the replacements though, Three freebys and Anderson still here, very worrying times and yet again just before the season starts!!!

Hi Robbo,
I have to say I have just got back in and have read some of your posts, to say this is a debating page you are rather aggressive, if some one disagrees with you thats it, its there opinion, no need for aggressive reactions, we are all fans of the same football club so grow up, listen to other peoples opinions and have a sensible debate.

Now replying to your answer, no I have not purchased a season ticket because its my way (obviously not yours) but my way of getting rid of these terrible owners and the terrible manager, I will keep my cash until they have gone.

My reasons have been printed on these pages many a time and I will not reprint them or this blogg would be a mile long, but cutting it short I fear for my club, I fear it will fold under these people, yes fold and I will not be part of it, I will do all within my power to get these people out by any means I can, I may not achieve this on my own but as a collective with many other stay away fans I hope we can, like most I am doing because I love my club, it may be wrong and it may be right but I am going to do something.

Please take note Robbo I do not call anyone who carrys on going to Ewood that is there choice, but asked my opinion I would ask people to stay away as I feel what I am doing is correct.

There you go Robbo, no shouting no threatening just a good old debate, I await your answer and will leave your peers to vote on your reply be it good or bad.

When the vermin in India bought the club, one of the stipulations of the sale was that the JW statue, couldn't be removed or re-located. Just as well really, because these despicable people would have already melted it down, and sold it for scrap!

Hi Givet,
My take on most players being shipped out is they are gagged or threatened (or given a backhander) for saying nothing when they leave, I hope MGP who I did rate for his effort alone has the balls to come out and say what is realy going on down a Ewood Park, lets wait and see.
For Samba,Nelson (ex captains) and Emerton Roberts Salgardo not to say anything when they left is very suspisious, although Salgardo did say some negative things I believe.
Iv been told those that leave are paid to not speak to media
Well they should tell them where to stick their money and speak out.
They haven't been 'gagged'. It's just that no-one has asked them, with the exception of Andrews - and that was 'second hand' in the LT.
As I've repeatedly said before, I've been badgering Andy Cryer to speak to them all - and the ex-management people, too, but not a word.
If I was a sports journalist I would be asking them all some very pertinent questions - and if they told me they couldn't answer them for non-disclosure reasons I would say so!
And, even if there was, there are easy ways around that.as AC will well know.

the new have been crapp! MGP has been poor last few seasons, but so have all the players, at least he wanted to stay!!!! i think he woulds have been an asset now for experience & effort to the youngsters, maybe even as a sub most games to bring on from behind to conjur up a goal from a free kick or dubiously from a corner ! Slew & blackman were never given a run in the team while others faltered... its all **** with baldy, indians & yes how come anderson junior is still our right back on good money but not ... played a game - its all acon, time for a riot!!!!!!!!!

A question. Based on his performances over the past two seasons, and the fact that we are now in the Championship, is MGP worth 2 1/2 million a year in wages ? Is this the real reason he is deemed surplus ?

Never in a million years is MGP on 50K per week. No chance. Far bigger clubs than Rovers don't pay their players that. He could well be on 30/35K, which is far too much, so he needs to go. But he's got two years left on his contract, so he won't be going anywhere, unless it suits Pedersen himself.

We have to be very careful what we pay these new signings, because if we don't go back up at the first attempt, financial disaster looms. I very much doubt that relegation clauses have been inserted into the contracts of our new signings. Kean and Borat are far too arrogant to think that another relegation is even remotely possible. I beg to differ. With the Kean and Borat roadshow in full swing, I think it's a very real possibility.

tombo1984 wrote: As much as i hate Venkys. I don't think anyone can put this down to asset stripping. Pedersen hasn't been iffy for a long time now and is on HUGE wages. I'm hoping we will hold onto Martin Olsson with his departure, Olsson can play LM and we can bring in a LB. We would be much much better like this. Radosav Petrovic has been very poor since he signed, and if we can get our money back and reinvest then why not sell him? My only concern would be a lack of CDM, so hopefully we will at least sign one experienced one. Jordan Slew has been very poor since we signed him, from what i have heard Slew has not been transfer listed, the club are looking to get him out on a season long loan at a team reasonably high on the condition he gets played. Nick Blackman is one of those will he, won't he players. Looking at how inconsistent he has been at different clubs when out on loan, if we had a offer of anywhere near a million for him, we should take it as he is costing us at the moment and giving us no return. As for Amine Linganzi, 2 games in 2 years. He's been deemed not good enough and his wages can be used better elsewhere. Out of the players listed for transfer only 2 of them can be considered 1st teamers. Both will be on high wages and have been underperforming. So if we can replace them with players, or even one player who will hit the ground running, and then help another player currently at the team do better, then so be it. Let's not forget that getting the above players off the clubs books will save MILLIONS per season.
The whole team has been underperforming under Venkys. Why single MGP out. OK he's on good money but isn't it only last week Kean was saying " We need experience." Do you not think MGP is capable of doing a good job in The Chumpionship ? They want him out to get him off the payroll and cut costs so it seems they have learned nothing from last season.
Quite.

Someone likened the reaction on here to the way Keith Andrews was treated. Which is absolutely right. Neither have deserved the blinkered, nonsensical abuse which has been thrown at them.

MGP may not be world beater, but if all his crosses were perfect and every free kick was in the proverbial postage stamp, he would not be here to get rid of in the first place.

If he hadn't been playing last season we'd have been down in March. Because of the idiot's abject failure to produce a reasonably competitive team (never mind an entertaining one as Mrs Desai had apparently wanted), we had to rely almost entirely on his set pieces.

For God's sake, cut the guy some slack; he is a loooooooong way from being the worst of this pretty useless bunch. There are people on here who seem to think we have a group of superstars waiting to be released from the shackles of the idiot Kean.

Don't forget, amidst all the justifed critcism of him, it was those on the pitch who ultimately got us relegated. I grant you they were aided and abetted massively by the incompetent bunch from Pune and the pi!!ock they appointed, but should most definitely take some share of the blame.

But, like him or not, MGP would still be effective and is being dumped because of his salary; end of.

By the way, anyone spotted any defenders yet?

ronnie clayton says...

Is MGP worth 30,000 pounds a week ?

Is Kean worth 1.2 million a year ?

Is his chaffeur Hendry worth 400,000 pounds a year ?

Whats the biggest waste of money out of that lot ?

I wish they would announce the number of season tickets sold.

I predict the opening match crowd will be an absolute shocker - midweek in August against Hull City. Less than 10k including away fans. Lowest league crowd for decades, hopefully attracting embarrassing media attention.

Can anyone tell me what Shabby's response was on Radio Lancashire when asked why Kean was still in position - can't locate it on i-player. Thanks.

This woeful player who has finished top of our assists almost every season he's been at the club. Maybe you should stop trusting your woeful opinion and let the actual facts enter your thought process now and again. That applies to all the ridiculous Pedersen critics out there.

The guy is a big Rovers fan, didn't open his mouth once about leaving when the press were linking him to Man Utd back in 2006, and always gives 100% for Rovers. But because he can't tackle and isn't as good as he used to be, idiots like you like to pick on him. Disgrace to all Rovers fans.
