Rovers warned off Rhodes
10:20pm Friday 10th August 2012 in Blackburn Rovers & Premier League Table & Results
By Andy Cryer, Blackburn Rovers reporter
BLACKBURN Rovers look ready to give up on their chase for Jordan Rhodes after being given a "hands off warning" this evening.
Rovers have had an improved bid rejected for the Huddersfield Town striker and have been told the striker is not for sale.
Rovers are unlikely to continue their efforts to sign the Scot and will look elsewhere, with Manchester City striker John Guidetti on their radar.

Why? is he carrying some nasty vaginal disease or does he turn lean and green when he gets angry?

Also, why no mention of Sunderland's bid to take Guidetti? If he's our next target then he could be as good as gone already.

Horse shiiiite anyway, what a farce. So we bid 2 mil plus add ons to total 4 mil then today we report 5 mil plus add ons and a sell on %. Sorry LET but the stories don't hold water. Fulham bid 2 mil, I can assure everyone that we did not bid 5 mil plus all the trimmings as reported. Also, why no mention of Sunderland's bid to take Guidetti? If he's our next target then he could be as good as gone already.
Re Guidetti, if you can believe reports, he is not going to Sunderland because of some sort of illness. On a reported season long loan, a short term illness, if this is the case, should not be a problem, but could a permanent transfer to another club suddenly clear up the mystery illness??
Maybe/maybe not

ROVERS OFFER £1.5 MILLION FOR RHODES BUT TELL EVERYONE THEY HAVE OFFERED £5 MILLION TO MAKE IT LOOK GOOD.
-and hey presto,you're back in everyone's good books.
You might as well print what they want to hear,cos they're going to make it up anyway.

It's hard not to be cynical about the proven liars running BRFC at the moment. I wonder if Andy Cryer gets fed a load of nonsense by the club? Did we really offer £5m+ for Rhodes? If so, did BRFC really think H'field would sell at that price? I bet the Venkers are delighted it got turned down. Expect a loan signing very soon, or a freebie.

That's right, and it's one box of chocs - like season tickets we won't be buying because 8 out of 10 players recruited = S***!

Is this going to result in another freebie mid-field player from Portugal !
....and there is still the likelihood of a defender or two leaving before the season begins.
We may hit the ground running, yet I have this sickly feeling it will lack any sign of a well structured team with a fitness level needed at this level.
(I am thinking v Wolves 12 months ago...)
Cannot imagine conman Kean himself having much idea of the starting X1 and again are very late in the transfer market looking (just like last season..) for last minute bargains & freebie,s.
The Championship league is very physical as we know and well require the ability to combat that threat and the experience to deal with this style of play.
Has the friendlies and build up and signings to date leading up to this season given anyone confidence ?!?

Because ONE FACT that is not in doubt is this Mr Shabby - THIS CLUB WILL NOT MOVE FORWARD AGAIN UNTIL KEAN IS GONE.

I don't even care if we have a good start in a league we should normally have walked anyway - because that will only put back even further the change needed.

I think it will be interesting to see how Rhodes manages against better defenders but worry how many he will bang in against us.

The only way this transfer will go through now is if Rhodes himself forces the issue.Whilst he may say he's 'happy' at Huddersfield, I'm sure he will be reflecting on how much more 'happier' he will be when his wage increases to £25k-£30k a week! I'm sure his agent will be getting itchy feet too.If he fails to match his previous form this season with the Terriers then his value will plummit and his earning potential.Player power will rule - just depends if he wants to come!!??

Everyone knew Cisse had a buy out clause at Friborg of 15m euro's yet Rovers offer 5m then walk away when its been refused but make everything public and get loads of positive press - eg "look at us, in for great players, arn't we great owners".
Same has happened with Rhodes - he's valued by Huddersfield at £6m and Rovers offer £2m ?? - then they make an "improved" offer but really most of this "improvement" is just really in add-ons and preformance based - ie, "Jam tomorrow" rather than "cash today" - and at the same time, Rovers splash these offers all over the press (to the annoyance of Huddersfield) to impress the guilible (yes there are still some Rovers fans who, despite all that has happened over the last 18 months can still be taken in by the smallest of "positive stories" - usually claiming this is a sign that Venkys have "learnt from their mistakes" etc etc.
Until Venkys come clean over whats happened over the last 18 months, kick out Kean, his agent and Agnew and co-operate with the authorities then Rovers will never be back on the right track, both on or off the pitch.
They have a perfect chance to do so this morning with SS meeting but don't hold your breath, I expect us "great unwashed" to be fed a 2 hour diatribe of spin, lies and hot air.

By the way, getting pulled for drinking over the limit does not automatically qualify someone as an alcholic, as you calling him "a drunk" implies.
He clearly likes the odd jar or three, who doesn't?, so irresponsible or just plain stupid maybe more appropriate.
There is plenty of ammunition to get rid of this incompetant buffoon without having to bring in Alcos Anon.
