    DaBoss as much as you wish for your comments to have credence all matters BRFC, unfortunately your apologetic nuances toward the destruction(in the short term at least) of BRFC is disconcerting to say the least.

    This lot between them have systematically destroyed a reputable and well run club.

    Comments should be based in and around these facts in my opinion.

    I, after initially supporting the whole set up in the most practicable of ways reached the point in which I realized that my devotion, commitment and dedication was, in short, having the rise taken out of it by these lying, incompetent and amateurish buffoons.

    Like most on here I have attempted to rationalize, reason, and be fair minded over matters at Ewood, but they have failed due to the lack of transparency, and above all a utter lack of respect for the community of Blackburn Rovers Football Club.

    I cannot and do not attempt to influence any on these boards with my stance in abstaining from attending Ewood whilst we have these imposters purporting in running the club. This is my personal choice on the basis of facts that present themselves.

    39 years I have followed my club, my team, my town all over these lands with the odd excursion into Europe on a consistent basis, in fact I would go so far as to say I am one of the 6000 hardcore supporter of BRFC, but this is not going to be any longer on the basis that I will not allow people of ill repute in taking advantage of that commitment. I work on a basis of a two way street, not a one way system !

    I have no problem with folk wishing to remain loyal at this time by attending Ewood but, I would be grateful if you would offer me the same courtesy in my reason for not ?

    Intrinsically I am attached to BRFC, and this will always remain, but not under these conditions that affront us at this time.

    I have made my peace all matters BRFC under these current owners, and they can carry on without me as I utterly and totally disagree with how they choose to treat BRFC and all of it's members.

    For your question as to those '30 somethings' who are banging the drum for non attendance, but, who will return should the fortunes be of a upward nature, I can assure you until the 'Odious One' as left, and Venky(should they still be involved?) grow some gonads, I will not be part of it.

    You have my word on that.

    BRSIT and BRAG are the only viable way forward, in my opinion, if we wish to retain the history of our club ? I have no problem with evolving, never have had, but we deserve much better treatment than that which as been meted out thus far. That, in itself speaks volumes as to why so many supporters have voted with their feet, and most possibly an end to their support of BRFC under these people ?

    For the record: I cannot see(although I understand) how anyone can attend Ewood under present circumstances and cheer this despicable regime on the claim that you are supporting the team ?

    I will follow the shirt when there are people fit to wear it, and are managed by competent people right the way through the club.

    Regards

    "BRSIT and BRAG are the only viable way forward, in my opinion,"

    Having looked at the questions put forward to the FA by the action group I struggle to see how that is a way forward. (have you read them)

    Venkys don`t appear to be looking to sell the club, if they did would the fans buy out be realistic! the Walker trust left a large overdraft which would have to be serviced as well as having funds to make a bid.
    Have you read them? I don't think anyone could of claimed to have read them as those questions have not been made public, nor has the supporting evidence which came with such questions.
    BRFC Action Group has now met with the Premier League, The FA and the Goverment. I can ensure everyone we did not go there either un-prepared or with the intention of just having a moan. Its taken months of digging, speaking to current and ex employee's. Talking to people both here and abroad with connections to Rovers including through third parties to put together a dossier which we could present which shows a clear breaking of FA and Premier League rules. There has been so many wild conspriocies which have been written or told, and even these have had to be investigated by us, to either back them up or dismiss them. Every single piece of evidence we submitted was backed up by testimony and documents. There is still things out there we know to be true which we cannot yet submit as fact due to (A) Not having a document to prove it, or (B) Not having the people who claim these things to go on record. However what we do have is enough evidence which contravenes a number of rules within the FA and Prem guidelines.
    The BRFC Action Group are holding an open meeting on the 24th June at 2pm at longshaw club and everyone is welcome to attend. This will give everyone an opportunity to hear first hand how these meetings went.
    Do you think this case would of been taken to Parliament without there being significant evidence? To go as far as Parliament shows that an outside influence is needed to ensure justice is done.
    We told both the FA and Prem to be under no illusions regarding how far we would take this. We made it quite clear that they can deal with it behind closed doors swiftly and cleanly, or we will go public on everything we have, which ultimately will show beyond reasonable doubt the failings of the system which has been put in place to protect the integrity of football.
    The only people who have seen what has been submitted to the FA, Prem, Hugh Robertson are, The 3 Mps present and the BRFC Action Group Committee. Of these only the BRFC Action Group Committee were present in the Prem and FA meeting.
    It would do no harm to show which rules have been broken, If rules have been broken. this would stop all the conspiracy stories. Also the outcome if rules have been broken would be !
    As this is now investigation it would be foolish of us to handicap this by making public the contents of such. This would damage any sort of case which needs to be heard and give those who are involved an in-sight into exactly what the governing bodies are looking at. I would love to shout from the roof tops, however that would make the last 9 months of hard graft in gathering such information as a pointless exercise, if they know whats been looked at, i'm pretty sure they can try and make aspects of it disappear
    Right so you can,t state what rules have been broken but at the end of the process there can only be one of two outcomes.

    1. Rules have been broken
    2 Rules haven,t been broken

    If its 2 then nothing has changed

    If its 1 rules have been broken then what can possibly change.
    ie at the end of all your action rules have found to have been broken what will the position of the club

    If they know they have done anything wrong would this not have happened already
    "if they know whats been looked at, i'm pretty sure they can try and make aspects of it disappear"

    A final point as you probably know there was a documentary which highlighted certain goings on in football . the makers of such programmes would have experts on such matters and access to legal teams you haven`t commented on why you haven,t gone down that line of enquiry.
    You have said enough Glen. I would leave it at that. FF is digging."

Rovers plot ambitious move for Murphy

BLACKBURN Rovers boss Steve Kean is lining up an ambitious move for veteran midfielder Danny Murphy as he looks to kick start their Champ-ionship preparations.

The 35-year-old midfielder is out of contract at Premier League Fulham this summer and Kean will look to tempt Murphy to Ewood with a two-year deal.

A host of clubs, from the Premier League and Cham-pionship are understood to be interested in Murphy, but few are so far prepared to offer him two years.

Sources close to Murphy have suggested the player would prefer to stay in the Premier League, with a new one year Fulham deal still a possibility, but the extra security of another year could persuade him to a drop down a level in East Lancashire.

Kean knows Murphy well having worked with him at Fulham and would see the former Liverpool, Spurs and Tottenham midfielder as the ‘experienced’ player the club lacked last campaign.

The under fire Rovers boss has already stated he is looking to add more experience this campaign, to compliment the club’s promising youngsters.

Sources close to the player have indicated the enquiries are at an early stage, with most of the staff at Ewood Park still in the dark about next season.

Kean’s efforts to bolster his squad won’t be helped by the uncertainty that still exists around Ewood Park, with owners Venky’s yet to communicate their plans.

It is understood club secretary Anthony Bloch, who only joined last season, has been told he will become the latest casualty of Venky’s regime.

The Lancashire Telegraph still expect Asian TV Pundit Shebby Singh to be unveiled as the club’s ‘global advisor’, while supporters are waiting for a statement on Kean’s own future after co owner Venkatesh Rao refused to back him almost a month ago.

Kean is believed to still be waiting for his budget for the new campaign. Rovers’ former PR man and new General Manager Paul Agnew will take up his role at the start of July and will be based at Ewood and Brockhall.

Singh is also expected to be given an office at Ewood Park once his appointment is announced by the owners.

Owners Venky’s were unavailable for comment yesterday.

Season tickets are yet to be put back on sale while the final plans for pre-season have yet to be announced, although it is understood Rovers could play friendlies in France and Holland.
