Clayton was my inspiration, says Blackburn Rovers advisor (From Lancashire Telegraph)

Large boots to fill, me thinks ?

Rightly so Singh should be inspired by the contents of R. Claytons book.

Success.

First match I attended R Claytons Testimonial.

The love affair began.

Arte et labore

Err, Mr Singh, honesty is not allowed under Venky's reign. Lies are the way to go with them.

assumptions..assumpt
ions... I wonder if the posters from the previous article who jumped to conclusions, retract their comments and apologise?

Shebby, you talk a good talk.. you better walk a good walk too and fire Keano if he doesn't deliver this season or no amount of Clayton aspirations will save your reputation at Ewood - and that's from the fans who ARE attending.

This comes across as utter garbage
He certainly likes to tell a tale, and I have met hundreds like this in my lifetime. I've done this, I've done that, I've done the other.

I don't care if Shabby Singh and his cohorts have prostrated themselves in front of Uncle Jack's statue in a ceremony of veneration.

Bulls******s the lot of them. Bloody Parasites.

VENKY'S OUT
KEAN OUT
SINGH OUT
ANDERSON OUT

Exactly, he is not just being watched by the rovers fans but all fans everywhere, if it goes peared shaped publically this time, he'll never work again for any respectable outfit, just like kean is going to get his come uppins soon, time is running short baldy and your short comings will come to a point where all rovers fans hope the owners will see sense or corruption is uncovered....!

Madari the snake charmer says:

I have read some tales in my life but this load of bull... !!takes the biscuit.

Another day another load of bull...!!

Is this pantomime ever going to end??

Everything Mr. Singh says however interesting and genuine he sounds is completely made irrelevant by the fact he has stood by Steve'King Of BS'Kean.

Well Shebby, if you want to emulate the great Ronnie Clayton, sack Keen and I would willingly allow the Darwen End to be called the Shebby Singh End to commemorate the great event.

let's give this guy a chance. At least we've now got someone with responsibility and I suspect he'll have the authority to sack Kean if things carry on as last season.

At least its not just us that see how ridiculous our club has become. You really couldn't script this could you.

See when an individual slates someone and then thinks the sun shines out of his a*se, that persons integrity in my eyes has gone, how could you trust that person after that, so it is with big balls, slating kean and then thinking that giving him a clean slate is the admirable way to go, bet shebby didn't get that out of claytons book. Disgrace, absolute moron!

Shebby if you are so passionate fire that waste of space of a manager he is a complete joke!!
Me and 8 family members have just been to get a full refund on our season tickets after hearing that Steve Kean is still running the club and i believe the ticket office has been inundated with people requesting refunds.
i will gladly pay double if he is sacked but we all know Shebby thats out of your control, you are just another YES man **** licker!!!

If Venky's can't sack Kean to save face - and we all know how powerful a concept that is in Asia - they should create an honourable sideways move for him and bring Alan Shearer in; then watch interest and season tickets soar!
They have to realise that for better or for worse the cookie has already crumbled for SK even if the blame is far from all his alone and he just needs an honourable way out, but he can't stay as Manager! Sorry!

get kean out are day will come this week hendry in '

Wow!!!!! Great Pedigree. Well I suppose he's one step ahead of the rest, as in, he's read a football book!!!!!!
'I worked with Keith Burkinshaw for two months, I was Trevor Brookings team mate' Why haven't Man Utd, Man City or Chelsea snapped you up. I just can't believe you've gone undected for so long, they must be really disappointed they've missed out.

Zareen Ahmadzai the Taliban Bomber is probably looking for a new job now he's been told he can say in our Country. Why not offer him a role in the Club.He could promote our Club to the Taliban! There must be hidden talent there!!!

Singh when your Shebby!!!!!

the past is the past...what is all this tosh.
.
the past is the premiership, the past is numerous play-offs under don mackay and bobby saxton, the past is micky speight breaking the net with thunderbolts, the past is getting "coined" at maine road, the past is getting chased round stanley park by idiotic toffees, the past is bristol rovers at eastgate - last game of the season, the past is getting relegated under iley/pickering, the past is losing loads of managers sparky, souness, smith, lee, furphy, the past is plymouth at home and shrewsbury away. the past is tony field and roger jones, the past is turf moor on boxing day 1977.
.
i can't go back much before 1972 - but i know about the past. never saw clayton or douglas play - but i did go to that testimonial game england XI versus a city/liverpool XI.....but i can't help but feel that this sob story is a cheap attempt to tug on the heartstrings of gullible rovers supporters by bringing ronnie clayton's name into it...here's a challenge mr singh - get bryan douglas to comment on your snake-oil salesman blarney and if he thinks your the genuine article then i will eat my hat.
.
i know that we have complained about no communication for months and now this guy is shouting from the highest steeple. trouble is empty vessels make the loudest noise.
.
he is going to cal a spade a spade is he??? well didn't the spades that were written/expressed by williams, finn, hunt lead to their dismissal. it seems to me that the only way to keep your job for any length of time is to call a spade a positive set of results which shows that we are moving in the right direction and no way will we go down.
.
didn't the LT's very own andy cryer get lamabasted by our "brilliant manager" for calling a spade a spade and not indulging lord haw haw in his relentless attempts to mimic mr micawber.
.
if shebby is so keen to get into the psyche of blackburn rovers he needs to sit down and talk to the staff at ewood (NOT THE PLAYERS) and ask them without fear of being fired about the last 20 months and how they think they have been treated, he needs to speak to supporters (and to be honest i don't care if its the fans forum, brag, brist etc etc) but more importantly he needs to listen and then do something about it. He must not do an all in the garden is rosy communication back to his paymasters - he must be honest......honesty is a virtue which has been sadly lacking in the last 20 months at ewood from our owners, our manager and some of our players. do that and make some decent actions and maybe then we might start believing you.....but you have a lot of work to do mr singh to establish the merest scintilla of credibility.
.
like virtually everyone, except the incredibly naive, i despair and deplore everything about blackburn rovers at the moment. we are adrift...we have become a ghost club.

Fully agree. It just proves that he's s snake like everyone else in the Club.

My favourite line in this story is the following one....“Trevor Brooking was once my team mate. I don’t know if he will remember but if you meet him remind him. It was at Kuala Lumpur in about 1986 or 1987. He guested for Kuala Lumpur."

So in other words Trevor Brooking once played in a Mickey Mouse charity match in Kuala Lumpur that our Shabby also happened to be playing in! Hardly the kind of credentials that warrant being handed the top job at a professional football club. I once played in a charity five-a-side tournament with Alan Kennedy (who was well into his 40s at that point) so I guess I should put myself forwards for the role of chairman then. Why do we need a global adviser anyway? We are playing in the Championship next season, not the Champions League, so no-one outside of East Lancashire will give a monkey's about us anyway...

Well...... Reading the statements from Shebby have made me realise that we were all wrong!!!!

I'm sorry to say that his credentials as club executive are far from those that are required to run a premier league football club.

If he is qualified then, Richard Keys and Andy Gray will walk straight into the top managerial roles at Man United or Chelsea.

"We're doomed Captain Mainwairing!!!!!!!!"

“It is exhilarating for me personally. I know when I was given the job and my friends in Singapore and Malaysia said ‘are you mad?’ I replied ‘I have always been mad’.
The first honest thing any of them have said since the Venkys bought the club.

He's already coining phrases he says at the end of his story I don't know if I'm Brutally honest or Honestly brutal it's a bit of a play on Ronnies ending in his book which went some thing like.Im a slave to soccer but not a soccer slave,anyway time will tell but with Kean still in command it's a no from me

This man has no right to taint the memory of Ronnie Clayton. He was everything this man is not or will ever be.

Dead right. Ronnie truly loved the club. He wasn't out to fleece it.

Total numpty then.
Oh for Christs sake, why don't they all just bugger off?
I do hope that we the fans get the chance of owning the club again.

Where is makeveli96 with the jokes? Could do with a few.

Kean's a joke
Shebby's a joke
Venky's a joke
How many jokes do you need.

Preferably jokes that make me laugh rather than wanting to slit my wrists.

My dad once bought a suite from that shop Simon Garner had in Cherry Tree. I once had a p155 next to David Speedie in the old 100 Club toilet at Ewood. My mum had her picture taken with Shearer. I once spoke to Nicky Reid. I was given a pair of Alan Irvines old Diadora boots. Surely I am therefore also qualified to be Rovers' new global advisor? Am I mad? Yes. Very. Livid infact. Livid at those Venkys shysters for employing another lying, manipulating, bull5hitting, asset stripping, propaganda merchant, spin-doctor who after 2 weeks in the job has managed to dig the already gigantic meteorite size hole even deeper.

The very fact that this germ dares mention the legend that is Ronnie Clayton in this latest desperate attempt to win the fans over is diabolical.

You've gotta give it those Venkys, they are consistent if nothing else. Well apart from sacking managers.


God help us all. What the hell has happened to our club?

How bloody stupid does this man think we are, this is an insult to the memory of a FOOTBALL legend not just a BRFC icon. If he wants to win over the fans all he need do is sack the bald one, he may just hang onto a few of the players in the process without having to make up stories

What the hell has happened to our club? We have been taken over by aliens, well they can't be human!

I read the article and it confirmed what I first suspected.
This is sascha baron cohens latest wind up movie. Just wait til he introduces his nephew, the best left wing back since Gary Lineker. He says he is that good, he makes Gordon Banks look like a goalkeeper . He's like a mix of bobby charlton and Paul gascoigne. He's bald and gets p1ssed all the time, hang on? isn't that steve Kean???

Reading the tripe like this, and Danny Murphy saying "When meeting Steve Kean I soon realised the passion, enthusiasm and ambition he has for the club and how much he wants the team to bounce straight back up to the Premier League."His desire to get me to the club was a huge factor in my decision to join. The owners were also very passionate about their desire to move Blackburn forward as a club and create a squad that is able to achieve promotion". I was having second thoughts about not renewing my season ticket that I've had for YEARS... But thanks guys for reminding me why I'm not, and for helping me realise I'm doing the right thing. You bunch of idiots are ruining my beloved club, and you won't get a penny out of me for anything again.

This man must think we are bloody idiots trying to bridge the gap between the 'Board of Idiots' at Ewood and the Fans by using Ronnie Clayton as the in between - shame on the lot of you - bloody liars deserving one another!!!
OUT WITH KEAN VENKYS SINGH AND THE REST OF THE LYING TOADS!!!

Ronnie Clayton was a great man, loyal and honest to the core unlike this lot that are running our club!

100% agree and why does the Telegraph publish such blatant buls**t for fecks sake get to the nitty gritty stories we want to hear,how much transfer budget are we going to get,which of our current playing staff want away,how long is Kean going to get before he,s given the boot 10,20 30 games come on Telegraph less of the non story page filling bull and more of the direct questions and answers that the fans want . GROW SOME BALLS!!

What have the books that our new Global Advisor may or may not have read as an 11 year old got to do with anything.

I advise Mr Shebby Singh to focus on something that perhaps could enlighten BRFC fans.

How are the legal actions being taken by Sam Allardyce and Ryan Nelsen against BRFC progressing?

How much does Mr Singh think this will cost the club?

How much will it cost the club for Steve Kean's personal defence against the action being taken against him by Sam Allardyce?

What does Mr Singh intend to do about the outrageous running of Ewood on matchdays; and will he be willing to openly 'advise' the fans on his views of how he sees the management of the club?

Beyond even doubting the veracity of this claim, it's really f*cking galling how he tries to use Mrs Clayton allegedly crying at his story as a chance to legitimise himself with Rovers fan base.

Don't even try to patronise Rovers fans, Shebby.

The trust, my friend, between the fans and the owners has been so badly damaged - some would argue irreparably - that anybody they employ for the club from now on will be treated with suspicion by the supporters - and rightly so after their tenure so far...unless, of course, it's a new manager ;-)

This is the last straw
This guy is disgusting, using a Rovers Legend who has only just passed, to try and curry favour. If he knew anything of the man that Ronnie was, he would know how much he loved his club and how much he would have hated what his employers are doing to it
Would love to hear Dougies opinion on this!!!!

Singh there was a spirit and determination in the town and BRFC long,long before kean and venkys rail roaded in to town. like a cowboy and indian western, they have shot the whole town up and shot down the local people and broke a perfectly good PL club up and killed the sheriff,the mayor and an MP you really do have to get back to reality pal, your one chance of appeasing the fans was to sack kean but you and venkys have blown it big time no one believes anything venky says and you have now sat your self in the corner with them and kean very sad to hear ,malasians have a lot of respect around the world,sad you have become part of the hated kean mobsters.

My own opinion, subject to abuse from those who disagree, is to give him a chance.

At last, some form of communication is coming from the club, which is at least a start. Whether it will continue remains to be seen, however it is one step in the right direction.

This is just a sad attempt to worm his way ino the affections of Rovers supporters. What are we come to when the signing of a thirty five year old yesterdays man is hailed as a major coup? Don't go to Ewood until this sorry bunch are history. We can then start supporting our team again, regardless of whatever division Venkys have reduced them to.

He is a quick learner,already reading from the Steve Kean B*****t manual.

I feel sick after reading that load of patronising rubbish.
He is the ideal man for Vnky's.
Completely delusional and out of touch with reality. He and agent Kean are a fine pair.

If Shebby wants to endear himself to Rovers fans and convince them that he brings something different to the table, he needs to sack Kean as a matter of urgency and show Anderson the road back to London. Then we may start to believe that his intentions towards our club are honourable. The ball is in your court Shebby.

Its hardly surprising Givet is it given their record? They go from one catastrophe to another. Do you honestly think that unless we gain promotion at the first attempt and re-establish ourselves in the Premier League that anyone is ever going to even warm to them, let alone support them. This isn't about conspiracy theories, it's about fact and the facts are there for all to see. They bought into a football club that was run like a well oiled swiss watch and systematically destroyed it by a multitude of abysmal decisions which has ended in relegation. Unfortunately for them they seem to have made another monumental ****-up in appointing Singh, who has clearly impressed them by talking the talk, exactly as Kean did and still does. What Venkys clearly fail to recognise is that we as fans of football and more importantly Rovers, see right through the utter bull5hit. In my opinion Singh has just replaced Kean as head bul5hitter. If they need people to come and 'help' them then we really are in a very sorry state. They need to help themselves and sack Kean and replace him with a proper manager.

So Shabby claims Ronnie Clayton was his life's inspiration? With a job title like "Global Adviser" I would have expected his inspiration to have been Henry Kissinger. Pompous little git! (Shabby not Henry). AND he thinks he has achieved a lot of what Ronnie did! Well, you little runt Ronnie Clayton could play football for a start, try matching that. No wonder Mrs. Clayton was in tears with you forcing your unwanted and odious company on her. She was probably weeping over how low Rovers had sunk to have you in charge, you slimy little fakir.
All this posturing about life's inspiration figures makes one wonder who Steve Kean's life inspiration was? I am really lost for an answer to that one!

Who wrote this drivel. I see the author's name is not at the top therefore I assume it's straight from the PR shop at Rovers.

Good stuff Agnew best laugh I've had for a bit. Good bit of spin. Keep up the good work you're all doing very well

Shabby, do one thing and one thing only and that's SACK Jean and even then you have only half a chance, should this not be your first job as advisor or what ever you are you have absolutely NO chance of winning the fans over, never repeat NEVER!

Sack Kean and make Danny Murphy manager,it worked with Howard Kendal as player manager

I think that knowing full well how Rovers fans feel about Kean and Venky's that his interview was quite outspoken. No shrinking violet this one.

If his words are genuine (and we will take an awful lot of convincing based on previous words from Venkys staff) then we can expect some changes this season in the way the club interacts/communicat
es with the fans.

Will it be what we all asked for - proper communication about what is happening with our club - or will it just be words and more words without sense or meaning. Early days folks.

Our Shebby needs to do a lot of work to get anyone onside....but as we constantly tell our owners just one action now will make for one big step in the right direction - get Kean out. Now.

I'm not addressing whether he was inspired by Clayton, or when, but rather that the statement I quoted was a poor choice in order to ingratiate himself to Rovers fans.

I agree with you that I am willing to also give him a chance, but Venky's reign has been marred by this sort of thing: False modesty masking unbelievable hubris.

It's going to take a hell of a long time to repair a lot of hurt and damage.

They had the chance to repair most of this by making a SINGLE mission statement in the sacking of Kean. Instead they ignored a mountain of compelling evidence and stone-walled every fan who begged them for change.

Their dithering and colossal incompetence has driven our trust in them so far into deficit that it's going to take Mr. Singh and co a sea change in policy to win back a fan base who've been repeatedly kicked in the teeth.

I do wish him luck, however. I don't envy him; he has a mountain to climb.

Sorry mate, did not wish to offend in any way. Yes the club is in a mess, and there are a lot of negative people, not aimed at you!!, commenting with the same "old rubbish" we have heard before - this out, that out, anybody out, liar here, liar there, liar everywhere.

They are naturally entitiled to their opinions, however, you get fed up sorting out the structured posts, and my point was not to have a go at you, but the others, who know who they are.

Singh has a massive task, and as the saying goes, it would appear "he can talk for England" or should that be Mayasia? but at least we are receiving communication. Anything Kean said was treated with contempt, and the LT were simply wasting their time publishing the article.

Regards.

Sorry mate, did not wish to offend in any way. Yes the club is in a mess, and there are a lot of negative people, not aimed at you!!, commenting with the same "old rubbish" we have heard before - this out, that out, anybody out, liar here, liar there, liar everywhere.

They are naturally entitiled to their opinions, however, you get fed up sorting out the structured posts, and my point was not to have a go at you, but the others, who know who they are.

Singh has a massive task, and as the saying goes, it would appear "he can talk for England" or should that be Mayasia? but at least we are receiving communication. Anything Kean said was treated with contempt, and the LT were simply wasting their time publishing the article.

Regards.

Kean OUT! Venky's OUT! Borat OUT! Anderson OUT! Agnew OUT! Orr OUT! Murphy OUT! Censorship OUT! LT OUT!

If you read the article, Singh was quoted as saying Ronnie Clayton was his inspiration, back in 2009. My own opinion, subject to abuse from those who disagree, is to give him a chance.

I did read the article, and that is NOT the point of my contention.

I agree with you that I am willing to also give him a chance, but Venky's reign has been marred by this sort of thing: False modesty masking unbelievable hubris. It's going to take a hell of a long time to repair a lot of hurt and damage. They had the chance to repair most of this by making a SINGLE mission statement in the sacking of Kean.

No offence taken, whatsoever :)

We're all pulling for the same thing. We just want our family club back and for this horrid nightmare to be over.

All who agree with above out. Buy a season ticket and you are complicit, buy a f*cking hot dog and you are propping them up. Hit them in the pocket and force their hand, they will have to sell in order to not lose money.

Oppose what your enemies support (Kean) and support what your enemies oppose (Dissenting alternative opinion).

Wilfred Zaha in Venkys line of sight..W

and I am renewing my season ticket, doleboytrotter.

you can call me and every other renewer complicit, I call you fairweather.

sticks and stones. doesn't alter the fact that theres only one way to be rid of Kean, let him sink himself.

What is it they say about a fool and his money?

Cryer mentioned to other announcements (after murphy) and one of them would be a big one. one assumed it was Best but could possibly be Zaha?

come on Andy do spill, its nearly Tuesday already!

kooks like West Ham are after him to.wonder if Venkys will up the ante to sign him like they Murphy?

of course this is all speculation still.

Speaking of heroes , during his corporate hospitality days baldie was invited to speak in Tendulkers box after he made a double century.

What i want to know is. Was it the English or the Malaysian version of Ronnie Claytons book, Shabby read?

Singh, if you want to improve your popularity there's one thing you can do immediately and that's to get us a decent and qualified manager.

The spirit within the club would change overnight.

Words come easy to Mr Singh actions come harder as he is an other Desai puppet.

Shebby, you talk a good talk.. you better walk a good walk too and fire Keano if he doesn't deliver this season or no amount of Clayton aspirations will save your reputation at Ewood - and that's from the fans who ARE attending.

Think you need to clean your glasses.

Lets talk football for a change,does anyone envisage Goodwillie coming into his own this season or do you all feel he aint good enough for the Chumpionship?

I agree you are mad Shabby and an effin little creep to think you can swing us round on your 'book story'.

Shabby - you simply don't have the qualifications for this job just like your NEW FOUND CHUM Stevie Wonder (why Anuradha loves me so much....thinks....ve
ry slowly ... must be my after shave since it can't be for my soccer management skills) - your little mate Shabby is just like you 'A BOY ON A MAN'S ERRAND'.

So why don't you do us all a favour and cluck off back to K.L. and take your new found chum with you....I suggest you drop Stevie off at Venky's Hatcheries...he can get a job in the sheds picking up the eggs - he'd enjoy it - probably think they were Championship points.

Shabby - you might as well go now because you guys will NEVER EVER be accepted by the fans.

The scales have long since fallen from our eyes.

It's all over Blue Rover.

Alienated from the club. Feel disconnected. Clinging on to my interest until vile lying toad Kean leaves. Feel nothing about Goodwillie or Murphy until he has gone.
Wrote to Singh yesterday, a considered and polite letter explaining that many of us will not be back until he sacks Kean. Asking him why he is still there and why he has changed his own mind on the toad's abilities. Do not expect a reply but if I do I shall let you know.

“I am a Malaysian, born in Malaysia and brought up in Malaysia,”

Mmmm, so you wernt born in the town, dont live in the town, didnt bury your grandad in the town, and didnt have 27 pints in the Queens Park WMC in 1993?

Apart from that Shebbys Mr Blackburn........

What next, Martin McGuiness shaking hands with the Queen?

I would be willing to give him a chance if his first heroic act was to terminate Kean's employment. Alas,he doesn't have the authority to do that. Like all the senior management at BRFC he reports to Kean. The deluded one calls all the shots.

if shebby is so keen to get into the psyche of blackburn rovers he needs to sit down and talk to the staff at ewood (NOT THE PLAYERS) and ask them without fear of being fired about the last 20 months and how they think they have been treated, he needs to speak to supporters (and to be honest i don't care if its the fans forum, brag, brist etc etc) but more importantly he needs to listen and then do something about it. He must not do an all in the garden is rosy communication back to his paymasters - he must be honest......honesty is a virtue which has been sadly lacking in the last 20 months at ewood from our owners, our manager and some of our players. do that and make some decent actions and maybe then we might start believing you.....but you have a lot of work to do mr singh to establish the merest scintilla of credibility.
.
like virtually everyone, except the incredibly naive, i despair and deplore everything about blackburn rovers at the moment. we are adrift...we have become a ghost club.

What a great post, I did see Ronnie and Brian play I was at West Ham on boxing day 1963 for our 8-2 win and at home a few days later for our 3-1 defeat by the same time. The train journeys back from London with the players, the 3-3 draw in the cup at Turd Moor after going 3-0 down then winning the reply 2-0 aet, that was the past not last seasons garbage, not Keans weasel words, or indians speaking with fork tongues. If this guy had any conviction about doing the job the first thing he should have done was sack Kean, because that's the only way forward

Non EU players have to have decent international history in order to get a work visa. How does this guy manage to get one? Does his Malaysian International staus as a player qualify him for a work visa for management. He worked for Venkys in promoting football in India. Did a great job there didn't he. I've seen him with McMahan in India. They were paid to disagree in order to increase the interest. His only real quaification for the job is that he is ethnically Indian. What other English club would feel the need to look to Aisia for a saviour?

you're late for school.

WELL AT LEAST ANDY CRYER WILL BELIVE SHABY TWO PAGES IN LAST NIGHTS L T ABOUT THE NEW CLOWN ON THE BLOCK AND IM STILL NONE THE WISER ABOUT HIM EXCEPT HE WAS BORN IN THAT HOT BED OF FOOTBALL malaysia WELCOME TO THE CIRCUS IT JUST GETS WORSE HO AND I STILL DONT BELIEVE HIM ABOUT RONNIE CLAYTON GOOD PROPAGANDA PICTURE THAT Mr CRYER WITH CLAYTONS BOOK ON SHABYS DESK

Standard lies I am afraid. Has not Robbie Keane supported as a boy every team he has signed for? Did not Tony Blair claim to have watched "Wor Jackie"?
He just knows his story cannot ever be disproved, but he takes us for fools. Slots in quite nicely at Ewood.

First statement: “The past is the past,”

Second statement: "I will call a spade a spade."

You'll call a spade a spade unless enough time elapses that the spade is no longer a spade?

So how much time is Shabby going to spend here ? is he going to live here ? Perhaps renting Dunnie's/Gray Neville's/Venkys' house - remember that one ?
Will he be commuting ? Once a week ? Once a month ?
I'm sure the players and possible signings will be most impressed that we now have a Malaysian international at the helm to help a second division Portugeuse player.
Wow...impressive, eh !!
By the way, we are a family club, the Venky family.

Somebody shut this guy up. He is getting on my nerves already.

Book "Agents Rovers and Cricket Loving Owners" out July!

The fans fight back...

www.rovertaken.co.uk

Thought Shebby might have the decency to acknowledge the existence of the fans and our opinions, something Venkys, Kean etc are unable to do. But alas.

Just once, lets give the guy a chance.

Does he have the power to get rid of Kean? Last I heard only Mrs D had the authority to do that.

He is buying: how good the products are remains to be seen.

There comes a point when a protest runs the risk of destroying the club completely: whilst its not ideal, maybe the best idea is to give them the money to do what they claim to be about to do.

Don't buy season tickets: buy the odd match day ticket. That way you can hedge your bets until we get a clearer idea of what is going to happen.

Just a thought.....

My favourite line in this story is the following one....“Trevor Brooking was once my team mate. I don’t know if he will remember but if you meet him remind him. It was at Kuala Lumpur in about 1986 or 1987. He guested for Kuala Lumpur."

So in other words Trevor Brooking once played in a Mickey Mouse charity match in Kuala Lumpur that our Shabby also happened to be playing in! Hardly the kind of credentials that warrant being handed the top job at a professional football club. I once played in a charity five-a-side tournament with Alan Kennedy (who was well into his 40s at that point) so I guess I should put myself forwards for the role of chairman then. Why do we need a global adviser anyway? We are playing in the Championship next season, not the Champions League, so no-one outside of East Lancashire will give a monkey's about us anyway...

I once played against the Manchester All Stars at Chorley FC (which featured Paul Mariner (40 at the time)) and I just happen to live in Michael Robinson's old house. I also just happen to be a 5th generation Rovers supporter. Surely this means I should be in the thoughts of the owners for their next ludicrous appointment.

DanBlackburn, I have done exactly the same, I also asked him to explain why our new COMMUNICATIONS guru has not replied to the 4 letters I have sent him, perhaps we should also ask to see sight of the 500 letters and e.mails that the club receive daily in support of the drunkard?

On holiday at butlins in the 50"s played football with ronnie clayton what job will be offered to me at ewood.
