Blackburn Rovers boss insists squad is 'united' following Singh comments

BLACKBURN Rovers boss Steve Kean insists his squad have proved they are “fully united” in their bid to bring Premier League football back to Ewood Park – after registering their disgust at comments made by global advisor Shebby Singh.

After discussions with Rovers players this week, the Profe-ssional Footballers Association has issued a statement slamming Singh for “disrespectful comments” towards Morten Gamst Pedersen at a fans meeting last weekend.

Ahead of tomorrow’s Championship opener at Ipswich Town, the Lancashire Telegraph understand there is growing conflict behind the scenes, with some of the Ewood hierarchy urging Venky’s to take action against Singh.

Boss Kean is believed to have expressed his anger directly to club matriarch Mrs Desai and has refused to accept the apology made by Singh in the wake of the comments.

It is also understood a group of senior players have drafted a letter to be sent to the owners describing their disappointment with Singh.

Kean though is confident the off-field distractions won’t take away from the big kick off and believes the unity his players have shown this week can only help them get off to a flying start.

Kean said: “I was not aware of that statement. I think it has been a disrupted week. We have put a lot of time in and have come up to a very important week and the comments have been disruptive and disappointing.

“The thing is we work very hard to assemble the right characters and get the right people into the building. I think the quality of the players we have brought in, and the quality of the men, we have a really tight group.

“That statement shows if you have a go at one of the, you have a go at them all. “I think we have a fantastically competitive squad that will back each other up. They have done it at this minute off the pitch, then what people will see is we will be doing it on the pitch.

“Anything that is said to me I can handle. Having a public go at one of your team mates is very difficult for them to take. I have got broad shoulders.”

When asked if he was prepared to continue working with Singh, Kean replied: “I can only explain the disruption that was caused. That is not my decision.”

Summer signing Danny Murphy has also described Singh’s comments as “unacceptable” but believes it has only helped in bringing the squad together.

He insists it is time to move on from the issue and focus on earning an instant Premier League return, starting with tomorrow’s opener at Ipswich.

“It has ended up being a positive in a way because it has brought us together even more, we have formed a close bond with each other,” he said. “Sometimes in adversity you come together a little bit.

“I don’t know who was guiding him, it all seems to have dealt with naively, terribly, poorly, whatever word you want. If you get sucked in and say things that aren’t politically correct, it is going to get publicised and then you have a problem because you have to deal with it.

“It is not something so big, we need to dwell on it though. We have said what we feel and ultimately that is all we can do. It is out of our hands, we don’t determine who keeps their job and who doesn’t.

“As a player you are employed to do a job and you have to be careful not to overstep the line trying to deal with political decisions. I think it was important to back Morten and the manager. It is being dealt with.”

He probably did, he probably said to shebby, go up to meet the fans, you know those people that used to come to ewood park and were rude and insulting to me and tell them something to makle them less aggressive toward the club and i'll back you. so shebby goes up with license to say the things the fans wanted to hear knowing he had the backing of the PR and kean, in the mean time kean getes his back stabbing knife out to sharpen it that night, you know the one he used on Sam and you could say the rest is history.

Quote from Kean:
“The thing is we work very hard to assemble the right characters and get the right people into the building.

Kean as a manager, his record says it all. He is Useless & Clueless and a liar.
Agnew, what the hell does he do or what is he doing.
Hendry, hardly the right sort of character. Didn't he swindle Pensionersou of their savings.
Shebby, 2 bit part time footballer. Knows what about running an English football club or its leagues, and already making the wrong sort of waves. Honest, well time will tell.
Anderton obviously looking after himself as most of signings appear to be contracted to his sports-group
Desai family. Well the biggest con of all time. Promised the earth. Delivered nothing and too proud to admit when they are wrong.

So Mr Kean are you right. Well you are right about one thing there are certainly characters in the club but unfortunately not the type the fans like or want. Do us all a favour and resign.PLEASE

Kean and players quickly draft a letter crying to mamma expressing their dissappointment. Well she's had hundreds of letters off dissappointed fans Keanochio, and you're still here, was this the same backstabbing tactic employed to get Sam Allardarse out ?
Still waiting for an apology for your inept handling of the club. In fact you should just apologise for still being here.

he says he has been flying all over the world to get his squad together - since when has portugal meant "all over the world".

What a disgusting individual Steve Kean is.

Shebby is finally looking like a realistic chance of getting rid of Kean. All the fans are right behind Shebby. Shebby will be carried on the fans shoulders from the town centre to Ewood should he get rid of Kean.

The division is with Steve Kean not Shebby Singh. Shebby is finally bringing the fans together..

Here's another scenario - we lose the first two games, and we are losing the thrid one 2-0. I have no doubt that will be cause for the Rovers fans to start celebrating with the conga round the ground.

What a strange scene that will be eh. We are loosing 3 games on the trot, but the fans will be celebrating as much as winning the Prem. What will the media make of such a bizarre scene? It will happen though, if we lose 2 games and are looking like loosing the third, the celebrations will be wild.

Shebby - the whole of Blackburn is looking forward to carrying you on our shoulders in celebration. You are doing an excellent job. The Rovers fans are begging you to carry on. You have the potential to be a true Rovers hero.

I dont believe Kean orchastrated this latest shambles but he has certainly gained from it and is milking it for all its worth.
Just looking at the back page though at Keans smug smile makes you think he has got one up on Shebby by using the players to fight his cause.

So lets add it to an already long list of cockups by the club.


P.S. I do feel sick looking at the picture though, thoughts of a smug little millioner who everyone hates.

hasslem hasslem says...
10:54am Fri 17 Aug 12

just to clarify:
.
kean hates shabby, some of the players, the supporters, sam allardyce, and the rao brothers and defenders - but loves mrs.deasai, orr, hendry and murphy.

shabby hates kean, defenders and pedersen but loves everything else and thinks the world is wonderful

the venkys love the club with all their heart particularly david dunn, steve kean and pedersen (mrs. desai only with the last one) and they love shabby too

the supporters hate kean, all of the venkys, a small number of the players, agnew and the other preston clown - but love blackburn rovers and most of the players.

hope that clears it up for everyone.

Ipswich 3 - BRFC - 0

Leicester - 2 BRFC - 0

This way the short term pain I feel will at least be followed by the long term gain =

Kean Sacked, Hendry sacked

Venkys to leave or at least come to matches and listen to the fans and replace the manager with someone who knows what he is doing.

Alternative = Division 1and BRFC into oblivion.

Please please please let this happen, its the quickest way to get rid of this cretin.

Kean v Shebby......Gunfight at the OK (Ewood) Corrall at High Noon.
Who will be the victor? The fans money and most fervent hopes are on Shebby - but the smart money (Andersons) is on the odious one.

Kean will crawl out of another tight corner and shoot the Shebby down and with it all hopes of getting rid of the mess we are in.

It is A poor state of affairs when we have to pin all our hopes on someone like Shebby - who most Rovers fans would not have given the time of day to just a few weeks ago and who most dismissed as a clown.

It is all down to raw desperation that fans latched onto his 'three games and out' speech at KGH - but really what creedance should we give to yet another Venky mouthpiece. It's not like we have heard any truth from any of them yet....

Just hope that one good thing can come out of this and that all the mess can actually galvanize the team and we can put some wins on the board.....I know that that didn't happen last season - but maybe with the new players in we may have a chance. Despite Kean and Shebby and the whole rotten lot of them. Win for the fans. Win for the club. Come on the Rovers....

Do us all a favour Andy Cryer, why don't you highlight and amass all off the comments as expressed by the fans and send them off to the wicked witch of India. It may eventually get through to her incredible thick skull the amount of hatred and disrespect the Rovers fan have for the manager and all the management team. Seeing it in writing may persuade her that they and the circus they have created and not welcome now and will never be in this once proud club they are slowly destroying. I have been supporting BRFC for 50 years now through god and bad times but have never seen such venom aimed at any other manager or management team. Over 10,000 supporters cannot be wrong.

What the most disruptive and disrespectful thing is a Blackburn Rovers is that Steve Kean is still involved with the club.

We all knew that he would use Shabbys comments to paper over his own cracks and take the heat off him being the worst manager in history.

Rovers fans and now football fans in general hate you Kean. You are a hard faced disgrace.

“We have put a lot of time in and have come up to a very important week and the comments have been disruptive and disappointing.”
So Kean has got his excuse in before a ball is kicked. A poor start will be all Shebby’s fault.

.

“A group of senior players have drafted a letter to be sent to the owners describing their disappointment with Singh.”
Probably written by Kean and the players ordered to send it.

.

“There is growing conflict behind the scenes, with some of the Ewood hierarchy urging Venky’s to take action against Singh.”
Just as well they haven’t urged Venky’s to take action against Kean for destroying the club. Otherwise they would all have lost their jobs.

t's amazing how much information has come out of the club on this one issue, but how nothing comes out about Kean after his constant gaffs, mismanagement and appalling record.

My serious concern and worry is that:
Lets say Shabby has the power and ousts Kean, I have a awful feeling he will then position himself as Director of Football !!!
This guy still across to me as a goon, and I fear we would be worse off.
If on the other hand he is all hot air and no substance yes its bye bye Shabby. However that yet again demonstrates Keans 'hold' and with that a much longer tenure that we had hoped as there is no replacement evident on the horizon.

I fear the worst.

How can some people on here hold down a job, if they can engage their brains and use those eyes and ears (unless eyes are painted on and ear stuck on with super glue) and take in the information i.e. the facts of how we can push kean over the cliff and out of the club. The fact is public notice has been set to how kean can be sacked lose 2 or 3 games, in my opinion that can not be retracted and if it is shebby will be sacked or resign, kean will go on to maybe win the odd game up until christmas, get a few injuries and possibly end the season near the bottom of the championship, do ST holders like that scenario, be realistic, help the decenters of how the club is run to get the club back to a winning way that may get us into a playoff position at least....

Like it or not we are stuck with Kean and the Venkys and no amount ' Kean out Venkys out ' is going to change the situation.
It's imperative that we get promotion at the first attempt or may well be doomed to rot in the Championship ( or worse ) for years to come.
It's quite possible that we may get promoted, despite having Kean in charge, but even achieving this is not going to keep the fans happy if Kean remains as manager. If SS has any credibility this 'lose 3 on the trot and Kean goes' has to be our only hope and even though unlikely, to lose the first 3 matches could be a cloud with a silver lining, as we could still go up thereafter...
I find it hard to believe that I would ever want Rovers to lose any match, but in order to get our club back to something like the state it was in 2 years ago, this man has got to go ! !

He needs to concentrate on winning games then organising players and other staff against Shebby. he has had it all his way before and wants to continue having it.

Desai family. Well the biggest con of all time. Promised the earth. Delivered nothing and too proud to admit when they are wrong.

So Mr Kean are you right. Well you are right about one thing there are certainly characters in the club but unfortunately not the type the fans like or want. Do us all a favour and resign.PLEASE
Hendry's already touching up Morten for a few quid as we speak ... oh, the frailties of the older contingent.

Who will be the victor? The fans money and most fervent hopes are on Shebby - but the smart money (Andersons) is on the odious one.

Kean will crawl out of another tight corner and shoot the Shebby down and with it all hopes of getting rid of the mess we are in.

It is A poor state of affairs when we have to pin all our hopes on someone like Shebby - who most Rovers fans would not have given the time of day to just a few weeks ago and who most dismissed as a clown.

It is all down to raw desperation that fans latched onto his 'three games and out' speech at KGH - but really what creedance should we give to yet another Venky mouthpiece. It's not like we have heard any truth from any of them yet....

Just hope that one good thing can come out of this and that all the mess can actually galvanize the team and we can put some wins on the board.....I know that that didn't happen last season - but maybe with the new players in we may have a chance. Despite Kean and Shebby and the whole rotten lot of them. Win for the fans. Win for the club. Come on the Rovers....
you forgot to put on the bottom win for kean didn,t you if rovers win kean stays the only way kean gos is loseing games its not hard or is it , ican only think you want rovers to win games then KEAN GETS HIT BY A BUS because thats the only way we will get rid if he dos win a few !!!!!!!!!!!!

If it takes 3 games to get ride of him the let it be the 1st three games so we can still catch up if and when we get a manager who knows what the hell he is doing then we will not need to hear the rubbish that comes out the mouths of Shebby, Murphy and some of the players and when you do hear them Venkys.

Lets hope that soon the football will do the talking and we can all go back to Ewood and enjoy football again.

Yipee, its here upon us, I can't wait until we splash all that transfer cash on some proper signings now that all the free transfers are out of the way. How much do we have to spend. What with the money from the Yak and Samba and Hoilett must be at least 15 million all together. So are we putting in a bid for some serious goalscorer? Who are we looking at for 15 million, what about odemwinge at WBA or even peter crouch or have a cheeky stab at rooney now united have persil automatic.
C'mon Keanochio tell us your transfer plan. We have waited for you to start and must have been after a seriously big target to want to keep it so quiet.
So go on. who is it then???

What did I tell you? There is no way that Kean will be sacked no matter how many games he loses on the trot. IT IS ALL TALK! It is all rubbish. The agenda is to asset strip the club and if there are any problems, they will just talk their way around them.
.
The way around the 3 consecutive defeats comment is for anyone other than Shabby to say Shabby was out of order to say that and demote him from 'global advisor' to 'local advisor' or something. He'll still be doing exactly the same job -- saying things to make the fans think there's still hope for BRFC. But there's no hope till the whole caboodle is sold lock, stock and barrel to responsible football-loving new owners.

Bryan Douglas supporter says...
1:21pm Fri 17 Aug 12

If, as Steve Kean says, the team is "United", perhaps the club should now be called "Blackburn United" because it clearly is not the Blackburn Rovers Football Club I have known since 1964. Better still, with the Preston North End 'rejects' in charge, why not call it "Lancashire United", then it will appeal to the whole County? Iit could make up for no longer claim to be "Lancashire's Premier League Club". Perhaps Venky's will flog off Ewood and move to another part of the County, like Lancaster, to attract new supporters (don't put it past them and their "advisors"!).

In respect of the 'Manager', I thought the "owners" (Venky's) were in shock and would consider his position; since then... nothing! They have brought in another "Consultant / Advisor", Shebby Singh. What is / was his track record - Malaysian football ("Accrington Stanley, "who are they"?). The whole situation is beyond a joke now. It is being run by certain people, for certain people. The one question that has not been answered (BRAG, Glen Mullan, etc. take note), is Steve Kean a Shareholder and / or Director of Blackburn Rovers F.C., its parent company or subsidiary company ?

Whatever, the club is toxic.My advice is keep your distance until their is a change of ownership - changing the Manger will not change anything. There will still be Venky's appointees "in charge" and the culture and approach will be the same - no more a family club interested in their supporters; Venky's, etc. are only interested in making (or losing) money.

As for the supporters, don't hold your breath about Kean's sacking or even promotion - too many old, 'over the hill' players more interested in the money rather than the Blue & White shirt or mid to long term future of a great club. Come on "United" - BRFC, R.I.P.

I think that its something to hold onto, some hope, in a complete and utter mess. will still be more pressure on the board and thereofre if they think it was some sort of smoke screen, well it may come back to haunt them, this see what happens in the next couple of games, maybe you could be correct maybe not, who knows!

Hello Mrs D ,I am really upset,S.says I am to get sacked if I lose 3 games on the bounce.
Will you tell him like you told me,I am unsackable,I call the shots at Ewood,not him. I have told you
how much the fans love me, they don't want me to leave,they call my name at every oppertunity.
I have spent the whole of the summer getting in new players for next to nothing,at the same time
brought you much wealth by selling the best players who never welcomed me,
.S's comments have really disrupted the training and it will take me at least until Christmas to put it right.
You know how sensative I am to critisism,I am really upset.
I trust that you will stand by me, knowing your vast knowledge of football and running a football club.
I know that your two and S hates me and the others ,I wish I knew what they really thought of me.
Mrs D. Dont be upset,Well not knowing the English language they seem to think that you are f**king useless at your job,
you tell lies and you are a convicted drunk driver. I dont understand,what does f**king mean?,drink driving?
.K. Its what you do with chickens,removing feathers before cooking.Yes I was mowing my lawn and they did me for being drunk,
I had only been eating grapes.I don't know why they say I lie.

If thier not from our town then there opinion means nothing!

Why are you scared at being laughed at, and why are you disrespectfull to Shadsworth? (even though I live within 300 metres of the town centre). At least its not full of idle students like Lancaster.

There are even people as we speak who talk about our club yet dont buy ther pie and peas in the towns walls.

Well here we go again! Not a ball has been kicked and the usual bunch of cretins have crawled out of their lager induced hibernation to call for the sacking of Steve Kean. The really sad development is that they have now been joined in this moronic chant by a club official.....Shabby Sing would be a very appropriate name for this ridiculous individual. If anyone is to resign or be sacked, it should be him.
To all the "Kean Out" knuckle draggers may I ask them to suggest who they would like in? I apologise in advance for challenging them to add a little thought to their position and I do appreciate that it might require words of more than one syllable but never mind, give it a good little go, I am sure we will get your drift.
Alternatively, why don't you all bunch together and pool your benefits payments to buy out the club.

Kean v Shebby......Gunfight at the OK (Ewood) Corrall at High Noon.
Who will be the victor? The fans money and most fervent hopes are on Shebby - but the smart money (Andersons) is on the odious one.

Kean will crawl out of another tight corner and shoot the Shebby down and with it all hopes of getting rid of the mess we are in.

It is A poor state of affairs when we have to pin all our hopes on someone like Shebby - who most Rovers fans would not have given the time of day to just a few weeks ago and who most dismissed as a clown.

It is all down to raw desperation that fans latched onto his 'three games and out' speech at KGH - but really what creedance should we give to yet another Venky mouthpiece. It's not like we have heard any truth from any of them yet....

Just hope that one good thing can come out of this and that all the mess can actually galvanize the team and we can put some wins on the board.....I know that that didn't happen last season - but maybe with the new players in we may have a chance. Despite Kean and Shebby and the whole rotten lot of them. Win for the fans. Win for the club. Come on the Rovers....
you forgot to put on the bottom win for kean didn,t you if rovers win kean stays the only way kean gos is loseing games its not hard or is it , ican only think you want rovers to win games then KEAN GETS HIT BY A BUS because thats the only way we will get rid if he dos win a few !!!!!!!!!!!!
Hit by a bus....now that is your best idea yet Benali :-)

However that yet again demonstrates Keans 'hold' and with that a much longer tenure that we had hoped as there is no replacement evident on the horizon. I fear the worst.
Well founded concerns 'BBTGOD' Their most certainly is a power struggle going down at the good ship Ewood. The Venky have to be very careful here with this situation.

Yes.

A power struggle requires at least two parties with any power - or a hope of ever having any.

Let's imagine for a moment the Schei$ter acquired "the power"; who'll he appoint? Himself? The Malaysian national coach? Titus' schoolteacher?

It's a Catch 22. Keep Keane and he continues to be rubbish, sack him and it could be worse (I never thought this to be possible). Imagine!

I am honestly concerned we're hurtling towards oblivion, with or without Kean. It's just a matter of the time it takes to get there.

ANYBODY, even you, because anyone, absolutely anyone could do a better job than him. What is it ? 17 wins in 66 ? What are the odds of getting that many wins if you field a team of "knuckle draggers" as you call them ? I bet they could maybe get that many wins just by chance. The man is not a football manager, he never will be, tactically he is unsound, he has one game plan and no plan B. His transfers are dubious to say the least. So if that wonderful day comes when he is relieved of his duties, just tip us the wink if you can speak Portuguese and we'll put your name forward, because, being totally honest, you couldn't do worse, mate.

One person is pulling the strings followed by one bald jock and him who shall be nameless.......Anyon
e really think Mrs Desai has given Shebby the mandate to sack Kean if results are poor? Obviously some of you do! 

Mrs Desai appeased her two numpty bros and allowed them to bring onboard the popular Asian TV soccer personality ....hoping it would help the clubs image, well, for the Venkeys this appointment has been a total PR disaster, which to the outside world has given the impression the club is even more of a shambles than originally thought, if that was possible.

So after 36 years of loyal support, i'm a knuckle dragger am I?? With so much distrust, backbiting, secrecy, lying, asset stripping, backstabbing and complete lack of leadership from top to bottom withing the club, It will only result in failure. In such a competitive league which the championship is, the only way to get promotion out of it or be successful in general, is with strong, honest leadership throughout the club. This is exactly what we had 2 years ago. It is what Wigan have now. The circus that our club is at the moment is so badly run it's unbelievable. Just look how divided the fans are on this message board as an example. How can Rovers mount a serious promotion bid with such poor support this season and so much rubbish constantly going on in the background? Kean is the main culprit. Remove him and thousands, myself included, would return. You continue to fund a continuation of this circus if you want but do not call us genuine fans who cannot support Kean and his cronies. Kean out = fans in!!!!!

If its over for you, move on with your life. Venky's will be here for a while, Kean unfortunately seems to have galvanised the support of players with Singh's faux pas and only time will tell who will go first. But one thing is for sure, it's going to be a long road ahead, and those staying away because they no longer feel the club is their own should really think how long they want to continue enduring the torture each comment from Kean lashes on them.

I applaud the ones who are saying they are going to watch smaller teams for the time being - life is too short, let it go and enjoy the short life you have. We may one day see a day when the current tenure finishes, but this isn't a crap rental who might leave in six months, its a purchase and in the current state no-one is going to give Venky's what they would be asking for it even if they did want to sell. It's far more likely that they will continue, Kean or no Kean and hope to get us back into the Premier league where stated least they could look for a buyer that would talk the kind of money that might whet their appetite.

Till then, you're either behind the team supporting them or you're finished until the circus finishes - and I wouldn't hold my breath or continue stressing about it till it does.

It's far more likely that they will continue, Kean or no Kean and hope to get us back into the Premier league where stated least they could look for a buyer that would talk the kind of money that might whet their appetite.

Till then, you're either behind the team supporting them or you're finished until the circus finishes - and I wouldn't hold my breath or continue stressing about it till it does.
That is spot on with my view too. Top post, well put
The obsession with persuading others not to go does not ring true.Far from being stupid us " happy clappers ", just prefer not to be plastic boycotters.i

No worries. It would just make the whole footballing world think wtf even more than they do already, which admittedly is an awful lot.

In which case Venkys global operation will be even more affected and they'll have to take notice whether they like it or not, because why would a company be willing to affect their whole business in such a negative way is the question the press will start to ask.

The least damaging answer, which is supreme stupidity at the head of a global business, is never a good advertisement for any brand, and that really would be the best assumption should the circus continue under Kean after the much advertised three strikes and you are out.

If Kean isn't now sacked after three straight losses, then the whole world will start to ask why. It would be a PR disaster for Venkys beyond compare.

This article is full of quotes from a poor quality manager who has found a short term defective story. Shebby comment didn't refer DIRECTLY to Pederson but was poorly timed.
The main and more serious facts remain the same. Our manager is the most hated football manager ever known in modern times. His close mate Agnew has no commercial knowledge and his mate Shaw, working part time as MD, spends most of his day sorting 2nd hand shelving orders out.

No captain of the ship, most of the crew abandoned ship, heading for the rocks !!! Manager more interested in trying to win PR points claiming support of the players ?!? Respect for what ? Never played or won in the game, no history of success, worst results in history, disgraceful public image....

I doubt any of these managers, all of whom have a playing career and at least one promotion to the Premiership over Deadweight, would entertain our club without significant assurances of autonomy from the owners. Probably the same kind of autonomy that Allardyce expected.

However, contrary to what Rovers 1495 thinks, I don't think that a k0bhead like you could do a better job than Kean.

At least give Mighty Steve Keanio the credit he deserves for the astute recruitment of Colin Hendry as coach. Drink, Drugs, Gambling and Illicit investments are all very much an important part of a Premier League players life so it is clear we have our sights set on an immediate return to the top flight.

So stay away and do something more productive with your life. Is Glen Mullan a happy clapper? There's a lot of people who go for different reasons. I fail to understand why people harp on each day on here the same old comments about not going.

If its over for you, move on with your life. Venky's will be here for a while, Kean unfortunately seems to have galvanised the support of players with Singh's faux pas and only time will tell who will go first. But one thing is for sure, it's going to be a long road ahead, and those staying away because they no longer feel the club is their own should really think how long they want to continue enduring the torture each comment from Kean lashes on them.

I applaud the ones who are saying they are going to watch smaller teams for the time being - life is too short, let it go and enjoy the short life you have.

Agreed with the above.

Several really serious problems in addition to the "goes without saying" that SK should have been sacked long ago.

Shebby Singh is clearly out of order and almost as much as a liability as SK. In attempting to enamour the fans he has only strngthened SK's position and alienated the players. Pederson deserves much better. For his loyalty he has been let down first by SK then SS. If he is a pensioner, what about Nuno Gomes.

Agree that no matter what, SK and Venkys are in it for the long haul. For those fans wanting us to lose the first three games be warned - SK will not go and three defeats may result in relegation again.

Lastly, the medal tally at the Olympics shows the added benefit of home support. I fully understant the SK taunting but make no mistake this has an effect on the players and the result. Read Socceromics. The anti SK chants give home advantage to the opposition every home game.

Kean seems too busy trying to build support for himself against Shebby then to concentrate on his job to look out for strikers and also prepare for coming games. He needs to focus on footballing matters then looking for support from different quarters to fight Shebby.

My serious concern and worry is that: Lets say Shabby has the power and ousts Kean, I have a awful feeling he will then position himself as Director of Football !!! This guy still across to me as a goon, and I fear we would be worse off. If on the other hand he is all hot air and no substance yes its bye bye Shabby. However that yet again demonstrates Keans 'hold' and with that a much longer tenure that we had hoped as there is no replacement evident on the horizon. I fear the worst.
Well founded concerns 'BBTGOD' Their most certainly is a power struggle going down at the good ship Ewood. The Venky have to be very careful here with this situation. Appointed by them thus I would surmise they would know of his devil advocate remarks ? Shebby was always going to push the limits although the MGP remark could be the one that see's him get the push rather than the remark over the odious one's ? I was flummoxed at the remark week last, and did have the opportunity to take him to task over it immediately which I inferred was misguided on his part. Little did I know of the repercussions to follow ! The bottom line is that a reputable manager should be installed, imo ? Tomorrow cannot come quick enough now when I can witness at first hand just what the odious one has assembled ? The talking stops now ! I demand that he lives up to his hype after nigh on 2 years of abject display's in the main. failing that then he should hold up his hands and say: "I gave it my best shot, but the greater good of this football club is paramount to that of my own aspirations, and I wish the club and it's supporters the very best for the future" Am I deluded all you good folk's over this ? Regards Arte et labore
Yes.

A power struggle requires at least two parties with any power - or a hope of ever having any.

Let's imagine for a moment the Schei$ter acquired "the power"; who'll he appoint? Himself? The Malaysian national coach? Titus' schoolteacher?

It's a Catch 22. Keep Keane and he continues to be rubbish, sack him and it could be worse (I never thought this to be possible). Imagine!

I am honestly concerned we're hurtling towards oblivion, with or without Kean. It's just a matter of the time it takes to get there.
Tis a grave situation 'whappen'

Again, a perfectly reasonable scenario that could hurtle us toward something we haven't witnessed in our history.

I argued that SA was our only hope in staving something of this nature regardless of his warts and all.

I aired my concerns when MH left and I did feel the ambition had dried up within, and firmly believe GS finished off the Walker Trust or exhausted the pot at the very least ?

This season is massive as far as I'm concerned and believe it will shape the club for the foreseeable future ?

I heard interesting comments evening last on Radio 5 live with Roberts, Savage and Mick McCarthey - have a listen to that if you can ?

The true fans have been vilified by the press because of their love for the club. John Williams and others who knew how to run a well run club have gone. Venkys are just naive and badly advised by Anderson and others, and they have a manager who I cannot even mention because the mere sound of it makes feel nausious. He is a man with no integrity whatsoever,he knows nothing of football management and is totally incompetent. I will not say he lies but he is totally self delusional in thinking he can manage a football club. I would not employ him to clean the streets.

He is a man with no integrity whatsoever,he knows nothing of football management and is totally incompetent. I will not say he lies but he is totally self delusional in thinking he can manage a football club. I would not employ him to clean the streets. Give Shebby a break but I fear he will be gone before the so called manager.
Absolutely correct but unbelievably he still has people on here who are helping him stay in situ. Unbelievable short sightedness.

More unbelievable for me is the premier league glory hunters who, pretend they are boycotting but,will only return if we get promoted. It will be interesting to see how many there are when kean gets sacked. I estimate about 5000. What do you think??

No wonder fans have walked away from ewood vowing never to come back until they leave - I in 60 years have never looked forward to a football season LESS than this year. A repeat of last year performances on and off the field will see another added to that number

Please please players perform - you are the only hope for Ewood
Whatever happened to Blackburn Rovers - a club with a good reputation for honesty and decency?

ANSWER - Walkers money ran out......

GOD SAVE THE KEAN
I think you need to concentrate on Mr Coyle coming and taking 3 points away from your Club.

steve kean and the players run off to tell teacher Mrs. Desai that someone said naughty things about them, Humiliating to watch what would Brian Clough make of it? If someone was playing crap he'd tell them and they'd get their act together like a man and do something about it this story is embarrassing Danny Murphy hasn't even kicked a ball for Rovers and already he's deeply hurt and lecturing fans, grow up and play for us, fact is a lot of players, Pedersen included, are past it, footballers are allowed to be criticised get your head down Morten and prove us wrong

We could have done with Shebby Singh last season to tell some players to buck their ideas up and lift their game, we might not have been relegated then. He tells it like it is, and he knows more about football than all the other staff put together. If Brian Clough had been manager he'd have told Pedersen to up his game were it needed or any other player, instead Kean told everyone they were brilliant while we went down playing games without any shots on goal, wake up people. By the way Danny Murphy hasn't even kicked a ball yet, why should he be involved? The whole thing's embarrassing, if you can't accept criticism like a man don't play football

At least give Mighty Steve Keanio the credit he deserves for the astute recruitment of Colin Hendry as coach. Drink, Drugs, Gambling and Illicit investments are all very much an important part of a Premier League players life so it is clear we have our sights set on an immediate return to the top flight.

Well here we go again! Not a ball has been kicked and the usual bunch of cretins have crawled out of their lager induced hibernation to call for the sacking of Steve Kean. The really sad development is that they have now been joined in this moronic chant by a club official.....Shabby Sing would be a very appropriate name for this ridiculous individual. If anyone is to resign or be sacked, it should be him.
To all the "Kean Out" knuckle draggers may I ask them to suggest who they would like in? I apologise in advance for challenging them to add a little thought to their position and I do appreciate that it might require words of more than one syllable but never mind, give it a good little go, I am sure we will get your drift.
Alternatively, why don't you all bunch together and pool your benefits payments to buy out the club.
I have a new chant for you to learn...............

Who needs Mourinho? Weve got Steve Keanio!! Come on you blues!!
Mr Angry (One of the Mr men) So all fans are cretins unless we all think like you. I would take a look at what you are defending.Lets have a look at Mr Beans( sorry Keans) record. Wasn't he the one who brought in players and sat them on the bench? Wasn't he the one that sold the experienced players and replaced them with kids? wasn't it he that selected the team?didn't the team play to Mr. Beans instructions and tactics? wan't it him that threw the match against Cardiff? Wasn't it him that said that Hoilett would sign a new contract? Samba not going anywhere,Nelson unfit. We will not get relegated,win the League cup,into Europe.top six. I don't get benefits,I don't drink Lager,don't put us real fans in the same pot as you been watching Rovers since ****, But I can tell you this dunderhead. If Mr Bean is so good,why did we get relegated? As for getting a new manager, we don't need a new one according to you, we have the best manager already here. Think the weed is to strong for you,get something weaker.

I agree with your guesstimates, but not with the reasoning.

Crowds were always going to drop when we got relegated, it's what happens to almost every club, especially those of our size. It wouldn't be at all surprising if that was by 5k.

However, those 5k would not feel the need to come on here and justify it.

There are supporters who are genuinely not going down to Ewood because of what has happened and continues to happen there.

What? Oh is he? Ah well.

In case you forgot you have alienated 12,000 former ST holders to not renew ST's. You have relegated the club despite inheriting a top 10 Premiership squad and you lost all the decent players and two club captains whilst doing it.

You are a TOTAL FAILURE and the sooner Shebby wakes up and sacks you the better. Shebby - this man is pure evil and is an open wound on this club that will continue bleeding and scratching and never heal until he is gone.

The sun will shine again when you fire him you will be amazed as Blackburn fans return to what they are famous for - The Friendly Club!

Hi Morst you little heartbreaker you !

Have to go tomorrow pal and I feel really weird over it all things considered.

Your words above are on the money, and now we all live in the paradoxical world created by the odious one and his self serving beliefs.

Utter chaos :(

Arte et labore
No problem with me Woody. Just give Keanocchio plenty of stick and bring home the first of those 3 defeats ( though with a bit of luck he may have already sealed his fate by going to war with Shebby?)
.
Shebby vs Keanocchio - KILL or be KILLED. Kean has called for all out war with Shebby so it is now a test of his "Total" authority as publicly given by Venky's as to who goes. One thing is sure - SPARKS must fly. This Town Ain't Big Enough For The Both Of Us!

Singing shebby singh at the match by fans would really get keans back up dont you think?what an embarrisng thing for kean if it happened.
