  • "WE WANT OUR ROVERS BACK ! SORRY IT’S TOO LATE
    The protest demonstration by BRFC ACTION GROUP prior to the Norwich game carried banners and placards reading WE WANT OUR ROVERS BACK.
    SORRY IT’S TOO LATE. Blackburn Rovers as we have all known it over the years is gone for good unfortunately and not for the better.
    Blackburn Rovers fans have to shoulder some of the blame.
    DON’T SAY YOU WERE NOT WARNED.
    I posted an article on my website and on the Lancashire Telegraph website warning every one of the implications and consequences of the Venky’s take over, the appointment of Steve Kean, the departure of Sam Allardyce, the demise of Chairman John Williams and Chief executive Tom Finn and most of all the appointment of agent Jerome Anderson as advisor.
    To say that my opinions and observations were derided is putting it mildly.
    I was slaughtered by all and sundry including being banned from the Lancashire Telegraph by Editor Kevin Young as being “inflammatory”.
    My opinions were condemned by former players including Chris Sutton and mocked an abused by almost all Blackburn supporters but my opinions never wavered from the article BLACKBURN ROVERS A DISASTER WAITING TO HAPPEN posted on my website 14 03 1, click this link to follow (http://www.regofthe

    ckburn-rovers.html?s
    tart=165 and subsequent articles since.
    I received no support apart from a small minority that like me saw the bigger picture these included correspondents under the name of County Antrim Rover, Monkey Nuts, just two who saw the dangers that I saw and how right we were.
    The apathy from supporters on the takeover by Mrs Anuradha Desai and her family and the subsequent sacking of Sam Allardyce was staggering, hardly a voice was raised in protest as £££ signs flashed in front of supporters eyes. As everyone listened to the drivel from the Rao family about marquee signings and even Maradonna was mentioned as a possible manager. What utter nonsense, but they all fell for it, ‘hook line and sinker’.
    Greed took over and common sense went out of the window. Promises of Champions League were lost in translation, what they really meant was Championship League!
    We are all now reaping the rewards of greed and naivety. But what is done
    Is done and what has gone on is in the past. We must all pull together to rid us of this disastrous regime. Getting rid of Kean is key. We might all see the Venky’s in a different light if they were to give us a decent manager.
    Needless to say I have now over 23,000 faithful followers and we are all mainly ‘singing from the same song sheet’.
    Opinions continue to differ slightly but that is the magic of football.

Shooting star Yakubu scoops Blackburn Rovers award

YAKUBU’S prolific first campaign at Blackburn Rovers has seen him voted the disabled supporters’ player of the year.

In a ceremony at Ewood Park, Rovers’ top scorer was presented the award by wife of late club legend Ronnie Clayton, Val.

Since signing from Everton on deadline day for in the region of £1.5million, Yakubu’s goals have helped him establish himself as a firm fans’ favourite at Ewood Park.

He has scored 16 Premier League goals in just 26 starts and has led the line in impressive fashion.

His season highlights include scoring twice in the memorable 3-2 win at Old Trafford in December and hitting all four goals in the 4-2 win over Swansea at the start of that month.

Yakubu’s move from Goodison Park has revived his flagging career and Rovers fans will be desperate to see the 29-year-old see out his three-year deal at Ewood Park – whatever league they are in next season.

Morten Gamst Pedersen collected a clubman of the year award, presented by deputy chief executive Paul Hunt.

The Norwegian midfielder is coming to the end of his eighth year at the club and has played almost 300 games for the club since signing from Tromso in 2004.

He has made 30 Premier League starts and scored three goals this campaign.

Adam Henley was handed the young player of the year award by Rovers legend Bryan Douglas.

The 17-year-old has broken into Rovers’ first team squad this season and has impressed in the three Premier League starts he has made.

Henley’s season highlight will be starting Rovers’ shock 3-2 win against Manchester United at Old Trafford.
