Apparently, Rhodes does nothing all the game, but then pops up and scores a goal. That's his only talent - scoring goals.

Hold on dear boy - it's £3m up front - taking our spending to £7.5m this summer ... £1m back for the Yak, £1m for Bunny and a potential £3-5m for Hoilett ... so not too much spent then ... then there is a chance we may still sell Martin Olsson/Steven N'Zonzi ... so let us all just wait for now ... the con job stays right on track as far as I'm concerned!

36 defeats in 70 games says it all - KEAN OUT!

I cant get my head around where the money is coming from with the lack of sponsors and everything else that surrounds the club. I'm looking forward to seeing Rhodes play in reality he always looks amazing on TV.

Would the money have been better spent on a competent manager? I still don't understand the logic of trying to get the best team with the worst manager possible.

I agree, an excellent signing for any Championship team or indeed Premier League too. £8 million is a massive outlay for a Championship club, especially one with 7000 season ticket holders and no sponsors.

IF Venky's have coughed up the money themselves then credit is due (for once) for putting their money on the table. I cannot help but feel this is another ruse to try and win over dissenting supporters for the season.

I personally feel that with 8 million pounds we should:

a) Spend £1.5 million firing Kean, Black, Brunskill and Hendry

b) Spend another £1.5 million hiring Mick McCarthy, Billy Davies or Alan Curbishley.

c) Give that manager the remaining £5 million to spend in January.

Just imagine what a real manager could do with the money Kean has spent this summer. People like Neil Warnock and Steve Bruce must be looking on with disbelief as to what they could achieve with such resources.

Still, signing Rhodes is a plus point in months of misery so I'll try to enjoy it (if it does happen).

Look I was there right throughout the 80's buddy, with little hope, but still plenty of expectation when we had sometimes an entire squad of about 16-20 pro's (admittedly only 1 sub back then!).

Jack Walker raised the bar beyond all expectation, and later Souness/Hughes led us back in UEFA Cup now Europa League, through league finishes and league cup victory - even those latter days may be long gone ... but that era put pride and reality back into our club - stuff that may even be hard to achieve for most Prem clubs now (any kind of European football) - but the likes of Nelsen, Samba, Tugay, Emerton, et al gave us pride, confidence and belief that on our day we could compete and beat the best in the land - through grit, hard-work and commitment ... it's all us Rovers fans ask - oh and a touch of honesty and integrity (Venky's take note) - and Kean it will never be in your dictionary so kindly p*** off and let us Rovers fans unite behind what we now have and let's move forward together - however if we are to achieve our aims with what we now have it is important to keep Martin Olsson and N'Zonzi - and somehow get rid of Kean - Shebby act NOW!

Why dont we all unite now regardless of the manager/owners/coach

es etc. We are fans of BRFC. Its the lads on the pitch that NEED fans in the stand cheering them on united with one common goal and that is promotion back to the big time. We are stuck with kean no matter how many stay away or chant for his removal.

If this happens - and its still not guaranteed - I believe it will be the difference i.e. we WILL go back up to where we belong. There's little difference between the Championship and the next League down and let's be real about it the guy scored an excellent goal for the senior Scottish team recently. Many people raised their eyebrows when a certain Alan Shearer was signed from Southampton and whilst I am the first to say don't start comparing Rhodes with him just yet, this is potentially a great coup. Just one piece of the jigsaw left now - who will be the new Manager. Let's face it Kean will have no excuses now. He simply has to deliver or else he will be on his way to oblivion

Its funny but iv been reading posts all day following the game against MKDons and none of your type have had anything to say in defence of last nights performance. You sir are the same as those you criticise only at the opposite end of the spectrum. Just gte off your soap box and get on with your supporting. Keep your eye on the football not other people. I stood next tol folk like you last season who said the same things until it was too late and they realised we had been fed a load of rubbish and we were doomed. Thit this, we could sign Rhodes or Messi but the imposter of a manager is the same amateur. You know whart you get with a canvas and oils in the hands of an amateur don't you? That man ruins footballers

Hmmmm - very observant tootsio11 - indeed neither have played, that's why we've been imbalanced and lacking class in our three league games thus far! Other than those two - name me another player in our so called 'squad' who could command a transfer fee in excess of £5m - afterall Dann is more often a numpty so far - as demonstrated once more against Leicester City! Olsson gives us pace, which the team is sadly lacking as a whole - oh and a guaranteed penalty at a certain place too - lol! N'Zonzi admittedly his attitude was shocking at the sharp end of last season as demonstrated at Swansea - however alongside Big Dick(son) with Murphy pushed further forward and say Kazim right and Martin Olsson left - either side of Rhodes we will have a chance - an excellent one at that ... otherwise you're relying on players of questionable ability and little class, either inexperienced or in need of a walking stick - lol! That is why those two MUST stay - the sales of our better players must stop NOW ... oh and one more thing KEAN OUT - lol!

Brilliant - he made Steve Livingstone look 'class', infact Paul McKinnon made Petrovic (different position admittedly) look like Messi!

Rhodes will be ace, but a) needs service and b) needs someone who will work their arse off alongside him!

Hopefully this deal comes off as Rhodes is one of the best strikers in the football league and he is still only young, there is definitely a prem career ahead of him. Like others have pointed out, you buy according to your league and if we get Rhodes and only lose Nzonzi and Olsson, then we've had a very good window. People need to be realistic, yes Venky's have royally screwed up and Kean is still not a manager but this is a big chunk of cash for what will be a great signing. There is nowhere for Kean to hide if he doesn't deliver results. Just to point out, those who approve of this potential signing need to be thanking Shebby, this was always his baby and it shows just what authority he has in the corridors of power...

A great bit of business indeed, but one that would have been unnecessary had Venky's not got us relegated and we could have kept Yakubu and Hoilett.

I'd like to keep hold of Olsson but Nzonzi isn't interested in Rovers at all anymore. It doesn't matter how good a player is, once his head ain't in it, i'd rather take the alternative.

If of course, Nzonzi turns around and says 'i'm well up for, get me back in there', then that would also be great but sadly, I think he'll be out on loan over the next couple of days.

One signing and an employee Of BRFC is out posting Jesus Christ has risen from the dead, get real, the Venkys promised 5 million EVERY transfer window, now they get (hopefully) One young talented lad whos confidence will be shattered after six weeks with this baffoon in charge, no if any other manager was in charge I would be over the moon but with Kean in charge, same old same old, Zzzzzzzzzzz

have you seen the wages he is on its treble that at HTFC.....I can understand the negative feelings towards the manager thats a given but some of the fans on here are having a laugh.....wake up guys we are about to sign a great bit of talent for this league and he is still young, as far as I am concerned Venkys have put money where there mouth is this time and hopefully are starting to learn from "some" of there mistakes. how much wages and do you think Murphy, Etuhu, Gomes, Best and now Rhodes will be on plus the transfer fees. As for the manager hopefully they can see the light on that one when we start losing games, its funny last season he was the most unlucky manager this season he has actually been very lucky.

I hope that Goodwillie stays as I can see a future Scottish intenational partnership at Ewood sparking off each other and giving us something special at the sharp end of the pitch.

Fantastic news.

Firstly, this has got to be great news and I wish Jordan Rhodes all the best and loads of goals. However, the continuing blind faith of the owners in the Manager is absolutely astounding and a grave concern.

Steve Kean has done nothing throughout his tenure to suggest that he has what it takes to become a decent Manager. He has had more than enough time to prove himself. We didn't go down because we had bad players, bad luck or a run of injuries, we went down because we were tactically inept with some players who quite clearly did not want to play for the Manager. After a couple of fortunate wins, it is clear that nothing has changed. It is an insult to all our intelligence for Venkys/the marketing men to think that fans don't understand that and that a few good signings will change everybody's attitude and make the club right.

Do we have a better squad now than the one we went down with? I don't think so. Could we a better side with a good Manager and worse players? Definitely!

Venkys - please, please, please open your eyes to the reality of what's going on before it's too late.

The difference between League 1 and the Championship isn't massive. Norwich and Southampton have achieved back to back promotions and Holt and Lambert have continued scoring. Rhodes may be unproven beyond League 1 but has started the season well - goal on his full Scotland debut and 2 in 2 for Huddersfield. A top signing and when Best returns a partnership too good for this league. Only one signing needed now - a new manager.

as some of you have suggested claim interest in big money moves, then sign freebies ! great bit of business and a good start on a long rhode :) to recovery

Hold on dear boy - it's £3m up front - taking our spending to £7.5m this summer ... £1m back for the Yak, £1m for Bunny and a potential £3-5m for Hoilett ... so not too much spent then ... then there is a chance we may still sell Martin Olsson/Steven N'Zonzi ... so let us all just wait for now ... the con job stays right on track as far as I'm concerned!

36 defeats in 70 games says it all - KEAN OUT!

Hi Harrime,
You missed the 12 million for Samba on you list!

A great bit of business indeed, but one that would have been unnecessary had Venky's not got us relegated and we could have kept Yakubu and Hoilett.

I think our worst loss was Samba the defence was the reason we were relegated

You lot just can't manage to give Kean any credit whatsoever can you?

Some of you dolts are even praising Shebby for this signing....?

£8 million for an unproven striker - in other words the same transfer fee as Papa Cisse cost Newcastle or twice as much as Dimitar Berbatov is leaving Man Utd for??

As for Austin going to Huddersfield - if Rhodes is worth £8 million then we would want £15 million for Austin, at least he has proved he can score at this level.

All banter aside I feel he is a good player, but the Championship is littered with prolific League One strikerswho struggle to get into double figures at this level - file under Beckford, Keogh, Paynter etc etc

Hi AWR
ST returning after one signing, I don't think so, to much has gone on, in reality this purchase covers Sambas sale, nothing else, We still have a clueless manager, clueless owners who in real terms are not investing just making a signing after all that's been sold and are about to be sold, no there has to be a lot more happening before my money goes back to Ewood, Keans sacking would be a good start though'

We have one of the best strikers line up in the team in the names of Best, Gomes, Rhodes, Kazim, Goodwille, Rochina.

Kean - just do it. All the best for next match

Good morning Lancs. I see you are as happy as ever this morning.
I agree with you that Venkys have not been as good as they suggested they were going to be when they arrived.
Maybe they are learning a very hard lesson but at least they may be learning.
I also agree that Kean should have been long gone.
However, we are were we are and have to get on with it.
The bottom line, are you a fan of BRFC the team or just a fan or not a fan of the manager whoever that may be at any given time.
BRFC have been in a lot, lot worse positions than they find themselves in today and I imagine you have been around to witness them bad times.
Rovers find themselves as we speak 3rd in the league, with do debt and just about to sign a player for £8m.
We as fans get some bad press but when you are not supporting your team when things are bad then you deserve the bad press.
There are a lot of (fans) and I use that word very loosely that post on here that claim to return when Kean has gone.
Well I am sorry but you are not fans, you are fans of a team that may be doing well and therefore you follow them when all is well. Commonly known as glory hunters.
The moment it goes bad you are off.
Well that is fine but I believe you should support the team and the real fans have been at Ewood already this season.
Would you rather be supporting a team for example like Preston that has no immediate future prospects of top flight football. No money and only signing loan players or signing freebies?
I dont believe any Rovers fan would want that.
Morst the Numpty has even resorted to signing off here completely (thank god) as he was so disillusioned. Well if that is a fan I will plait sawdust.
Apart from Kean, as I have said he would have been long gone, I am not sure we as a club are in that bad a position.
Venkys at long last appear to be spending some money.
Before you hit me with we sold a,b or c and the money has gone.
Go and ask EVERY Burnley fan were all the money has gone from the Premier League money and the sale of players. Also look at what they have spent.
What position would you rather be in??
Time for everyone to get to Ewood and support the team ???????????????????

Hi FBW
Not having the best of mornings, you have some valid points on here, in the real world we should support our team through thick and thin but there are problems at BRFC at the moment that I have never seen in my life time as a BRFC fan.
We all now what they are and its no use just keep repeating them again and again,however worryingly people like Morst (god bless him he did have the club at heart really) and myself are getting fed up, yeh we moan but we still keep posting,still keep going to away matches when we can, I believe what we are seeing now is fans deserting in there thousands and will never return, yeh some posters call them glory hunters but I think they have just had enough and more to the point these fans will never return like in 1960.
I can remember when the Rovers could not afford there milk bill so I do go back a bit but even in them days when you could turn up at the Blackburn end at 2.55pm and still get on the terrace before kick off and watch a good game of football, did us fans talk about the directors/owners/Glo

bal advisors, no, we just went on and hoped our team won.
I have to say I do feel a bit like Morst and just giving up, all the fans getting at one another is not what BRFC is about its just a game of footy!

Oh how you like the sound of you own words, spoken like a true.

I don't know if you realise, but the Manager is the team. He has the say on whether they play defensive or not. Go for goals or not. Which player plays when and where.

And thet brings me to my point. Whatever players he has available, he hasn't got it at professional level, he has proved this in front of the whole football world.

The calamity of last season was him falling out with a good Prem side, and the result, sell all the players who don't agree, what has that got to do with good football?

The footabll being played is terrible, and the results will soon follow.

Any player that was around at the start of his Managerial role, is now only half the player they were, fact.

If this guy signs, he'd better have large shoulders, he's got a lot of team to carry.

Well done to all involved. This is truly something for us real fans to get excitec about.

I hope that Goodwillie stays as I can see a future Scottish intenational partnership at Ewood sparking off each other and giving us something special at the sharp end of the pitch.

Fantastic news.

Been a long time coming.

So long as their being played in there rightful positions and and being fed by midfielders and wingers instead of playing forever a defending game these strikers have a chance , Goodwillie has not been looked after up to now , he needs a run of games with a good partnership and this is the ideal opportunity ,if kean dont play to their strengths then im afraid he could ruin them .

This has got to be crossroads for kean ,a lethal goalscorer in Rhodes ,play to their strengths .

Its funny but iv been reading posts all day following the game against MKDons and none of your type have had anything to say in defence of last nights performance. You sir are the same as those you criticise only at the opposite end of the spectrum. Just gte off your soap box and get on with your supporting. Keep your eye on the football not other people. I stood next tol folk like you last season who said the same things until it was too late and they realised we had been fed a load of rubbish and we were doomed. Thit this, we could sign Rhodes or Messi but the imposter of a manager is the same amateur. You know whart you get with a canvas and oils in the hands of an amateur don't you? That man ruins footballers

Maybe we have been busy working and not had the luxury of sitting on our arse on here. Yes last nights performance was horrendous, in fact we havent played well in a long time. The tit for tat cup is secondary to promotion im glad we lost. So why did the great one say we can challenge on all fronts (damed if he does damned if he doesnt) Kean has probably learnt from his major gaffe last season saying we forfeited. It doesnt matter if you stay away or not the long term damage will be to the club we all claim to love by not puttin money into it. Venky's will take cash from transfers and parachute payments, running costs will come from the fans.
