com you will see the pensioners had to sell their house in Thailand when Hendry swindled them out of their life savings and also they never lived in a mansion next to Hendry ,again read www.colinhendrylies.
com they old pensioners lived a 2 bed apartment worth 140,000 pounds , get your facts right before you start commenting on they pensioners that Hendry swindled, and your ignorant comments that they old people were well off and so it was OK for Hendry to swindle them out of their life savings.

It seems that you are intent to continue this rant about Hendry on very single article? Nobody is interested (maybe you have a personal issue about him?) so us all a favour and go and have your rants elsewhere preferably on a non Rovers site.

I am afraid I am struggling to understand how you could possibly want Rovers to get beat under any circumstance. If Rovers win the first six games ( I know it's unlikely) would that not be what EVERY Rovers fan should want.
Do you support Blackburn Rovers or whoever the manager is of Blackburn Rovers?
I support Blackburn Rovers regardless of who is manager.
You know I don't support Kean in anyway but if the team starts winning would that not be what every fan wants???

It's a shame both Burnley and West Ham are seeded too. I would've loved to be drawn against either of them, Burnley for obvious reasons but West Ham because it would be interesting to see if Kean rang in 'sick' on the day.
Would big Sam shake hands with Kean or smack him in the mouth, I know which one I'd like to see.

We, the fans, need to know about all the rottenness that exists at the club. Colin Hendry sounds an ongoing disgusting situation, therefore it needs to be heard until the rottenness goes away.

I didn’t attend the meeting last Saturday. But I watched and listened in dumb found amazement on Sky Tv Sport News. I refer of course to the now infamous and regrettable Fans Forum at King Georges Hall addressed by Rovers new GLOBAL ADVISOR (whatever that means) SHEBBY SINGH.(pic above)
As everyone who follows my website knows I am not in any shape or form a Steve Kean fan, in fact I haven’t a good word for him, he has ruined my club, but this public attack by Shebby Singh was the most amazing thing I have ever witnessed in all my 50 plus years of following football. What was the man thinking??
Let me first of all establish that I generally agree with Shebby’s sentiments, but there is a way to go about things and a time and a place to say them. This very public platform was neither.
Shebby Singh flanked by members of the Blackburn Rovers action group gave the impression of the leaders of a Lynch Mob. This is not how we want Blackburn Rovers to be run. Once again we are the laughing stock of the football world as they look on in continued amazement, as this once proud old club sinks further into the mire.
Shebby Singh obviously wants rid of Kean, like we all do, but almost destroyed any hopes he has of achieving that objective.
If Kean didn’t know before he had an enemy he knows now. I pointed out the rift between Kean and Singh on this website two weeks ago when I posted article WHO IS THE MANAGER AT EOOD PARK on 1st August 2012.
But I never in my wildest dreams thought it would emerge so publically, so soon, without a ball even been kicked.
Shebby Singh has been brought into the club by Ventkatesh and Balaji Rao to rid them of Kean, they haven’t the bottle to do it themselves. They tried and failed in May but were firmly put in their place by sister Anuradha ( I like to be entertained) Desai. Now big sister has the perfect excuse to get rid of Shebby Singh and I have no doubt she will, I give him a month, at the most.
Steve Kean is a ‘wily old fox’, he has seen off most of his enemies within Ewood, deputy chief executive Paul Hunt, the fans Allie, being the latest. If you don’t have the cunning that Kean posses you don’t conspire successfully to rid the club of an established and proven Premier league manager like Allardyce, as Kean did.
You don’t survive the wishes of chairman John Williams and Chief executive Tom Finn, both who successfully guided Rovers for over 14 years, to have you sacked only to turn the tables and have them dismissed as Kean did. Shebby Singh is up against a clever and cunning man, Kean is seething and will now conspire to under mind Singh. I can see only one result as in the case of Paul Hunt, Singh will go, Kean will stay. It is apparent they both cannot stop at the club.
Blackburn Rovers action group should never have put Shebby Singh in this position. Shebby Singh on the other hand is to blame for his thoughtless comments and not keeping his own council and working quietly behind the scenes to rid the club of Kean.
Shebby Singh says “he was trying to bring the fans back closer to the club”. I think everyone knows that will only happen when Steve Kean departs. Until then Rovers have not got a prayer.
As to Singh’s comments regarding David Dunn and Morten Pederson having joined “the over the hill gang” perhaps he is right but I think there is a couple of seasons left in them and Shebby’s remarks were probably ‘tongue in cheek’.
As to the presence of the Sky TV cameras at the now infamous fans meeting what was that all about? Do Sky TV cover all fans forums throughout the country, I think not, this to me reeks of a SET UP. Unfortunately the only person to have been set up is Shebby Singh and as a result the fans could be losing yet again a close ally.
Reg.
Footnote:
Shebby Singh however has obviously got a sense of humour unlike Kean. And I couldn’t help but chuckle at his comment “I am often asked why Steve Kean was not sacked in May, my reply is I ask myself the same question every week”.

I find it hard to believe any true Rovers fan could view the last 2 seasons any other way.

I never want Rovers to lose.
I do agree with you regarding alienating the fans and causing divide
This is very sad indeed and the sooner everyone is pulling in the same direction the better.
With Kean or without but as long as we are winning
