    Some of the comments on here. Jesus. I am sure that as much as Kean is from all previous attempts a poor manager, he is desperate to keep his job, prove himself, and get off to a good start. He is after all, extremely determined to stay as our manager. This is actually to be applauded. And I for one say good luck to him. If we win our first six games, and get some momentum, we will be in a great position to re-strengthen again in January. All this about wanting us to lose our first six games. Awful. If we do and sack Kean, and get someone in, there is no guarantee they will be able to change things. I therefore am looking at the season with some hope that we might finally start to sort this whole horrible mess out. With Kean or without.
    At last a comment from someone with a realistic view of the situation. We need to be a lot less pessimistic, than most of the negative comments always on view here.
    Thank god for commonsence at last. Win the first 6 games or lose the first six? If you are a BRFC fan then it surely must be win the first 6 games. If ( and I accept unlikely) we win the first six games we would be off to a flyer. At that point I couldn't care less if humpty dumpty is the manager. BRFC and that is what I care about would be doing well. If we lose the first six then you would hope Kean would be gone anyway. I just can't understand some fans wanting to lose the first six. I simply can't get it. Absolutely sure we are better off without you as fans. Bring the season on and let's see what happens. With or without Kean!!!!
    Three people who seem to accept that its Ok to be lied to.
    I don't believe that anyone thinks it is ok to be lied to.....the posts are not saying that. All these posters are saying is that they want the Rovers to win as many games as possible next season, any season.

    I certainly do and I think that all Rovers fans (or indeed any football fan) would want that for their team.

    Kean out is another item entirely.....again I believe that almost every single Rovers fan would want him out ASAP. No conditions on 3 matches or 6 matches, get him out now.

    And anyway why 6 matches? He lost a darn sight more than that last season and got us relegated from the golden goose called the prem.....so what makes anyone think he would go after 6 games this season?

    And what would the result criteria be for the 6 games? Lose all 6 and he goes? Win all 6 and he gets a rise? Lose three draw three and he gets a warning? Lose two draw two win two and he gets a lollipop......yes it is farcical and a ridiculous suggestion to say he has 6 games....

    Rovers just need to play as well as possible and get as many points as quickly as possible. I hated relegation last season and I don't want to go back to the bad days of the seventies when we dropped down to the third (now second) division.

    Kean out now - yes.
    Rovers to win games - yes.
    Do the pre-season 'friendlies' count in these 6 games ... ?"

Turk set for loan after impressing on Rovers tour

BLACKBURN Rovers will look to complete the loan signing of Colin Kazim-Richards this week after the Turk impressed on trial in Nijmegen.

The Galatasaray striker played in Rovers’ behind closed doors 0-0 ‘training match’ draw with NEC Nijmegen, after the initial fixture was called off by Dutch Police due to the threat of crowd trouble.

The 23-year-old did enough to convince Rovers he was worth pursuing their interest in him and they will bid to capture him on a season-long loan over the next few days.

Rovers are also set to complete the signing of Portuguese midfielder Diogo Rosado from Sporting Lisbon after he passed his medicals on Friday.

The Lancashire Telegraph understands the 22-year-old attacking midfielder will put pen to paper tomorrow, to become Rovers’ fifth Portuguese signing of the summer.

Rovers are also still waiting to hear whether there bid has been accepted for Huddersfield Town striker Jordan Rhodes, as they look to replace long term injury absentee Leon Best.

Kazim-Richards can play either on the wing or as a striker and had prev-iously been on trial at West Ham.

The 25-year-old played for Bury, Brighton and Sheffield United earlier in his career, before moving to Fenerbahce in 2007.

He moved on to Galatasaray in 2011 but was on loan at Olympiacos last season.

Rosado joins Rovers on a free transfer having impressed during a loan spell at Portuguese first division side Feirense last season.

Liverpool and Chelsea have been reported to have shown interest in him in the past, with his Sporting Lisbon contract now up.

Meanwhile, Stoke City are understood to be preparing a loan bid for want away midfielder Steven Nzonzi.

Rovers are prepared to let him leave the club temporarily but still believe he has a part to play in the club’s future.

Summer signing Dickson Etuhu made his Rovers debut in yesterday’s behind closed doors training match against NEC Nijmegen, following his move from Fulham on Friday.

Rovers fans were unable to see him in action though after the fixture at NEC was called off by police in fear of crowd trouble.

A training match was hastily arranged between the two sides elsewhere, with fans not allowed in on police orders.
