Singh: There will be no panic buy signings at Blackburn Rovers
10:35am Wednesday 1st August 2012 in Blackburn Rovers & Premier League Table & Results
By Andy Cryer, Blackburn Rovers reporter
BLACKBURN global advisor Shebby Singh insists there will be no ‘panic buys’ made in their search for more fire power – but Jordan Rhodes remains on Rovers’ radar ahead of the Championship campaign.
Leon Best’s cruciate knee ligament injury has left Rovers in the market for two more strikers, but Singh is adamant it is important the club takes its time to make the right choices.
The Lancashire Telegraph understands manager Steve Kean is bidding to bring in one striker permanently, with cash available to him, with the second attacker expected to be a loan signing.
Rhodes is Rovers’ number ine target and, despite already having their initial interest rebuffed, are refusing to give up on the prolific striker.
West Brom striker Simon Cox and Stoke City’s Ricardo Fuller have been touted as possible targets but Rovers are unlikely to pursue any interest in either of them.
A short list was being drawn up yesterday on possible targets as Rovers look to replace Best with a player of a similar standard.
Singh said: “We will not panic on strikers. We are not prepared to compromise our standards by signing players we don’t think are right.
“Losing Leon is a big blow but at least there is time for us to put things right. We don’t have to rush.
“We have to make sure we don’t rush in and buy a player who is no better than what we already have.
“We are looking to the long term, because we feel that is important for what we want to achieve.”
Rovers are ready to pay significant cash to attract the services of Rhodes and would be willing to offer a cash plus player deal to the Yorkshire side.
Meanwhile the Lancashire Telegraph understands Rovers are determined to hold on to young defender Grant Hanley, despite rumoured interest from top flight clubs.
Rovers are understood to have received no bids for the central defender but are ready to rebuff any interest that does come their way.
Rovers’ squad travel to Holland for their matches in Deventer against Go Ahead Eagles on Friday and the clash with NEC NIjmegen on Sunday.
They then finish their summer campaign with a match at Cork City the following Sunday, ahead of the season opener at Ipswich Town on August 18.

And either way, with Kean still playing as 'manager' of the club, it's irrespective of who we have in the squad, as he'll find a way to make us as unorganised and tactically retarded as possible.
KEAN OUT.

What friggin standards!! Not very high ones, that`s for sure. And what about defence, do standards go out the window completely In that department.

A new season starts, he cant comment on what happened before him, but everyone's on trial and produce or get out.
No matter what he says at this moment - actions will surely speak louder than any words, so he could continue to do what he's doing or stay mum and let his actions speak for themselves. We will know come mid-season if we're down at the bottom of the table and he's still spouting positive like baldy, but at the moment, they are just words and you cant really expect much else.
At the end of the day he is just an "advisor" not the decider. He had to give everyone a fair chance as an outsider coming into the job, it would have been unrealistic to expect him to recommend Kean's dismissal to Venkys given that they admitted themselves they were apportion to the blame of the mistakes last season. That said, I think Venkys will take his advice very seriously and seeing that he's already made it clear about Kean prior to taking the job, if the results point the finger at Kean, Shebby would be expected to make no bones about where the blame lies.

We've already signed one striker with a poor injury record this season and we've already lost him. Instead of hedging our bets on whether not a player has put their injury nightmare behind them, or looking at bench warmers, perhaps we should look at strikers who had a couple of seasons playing consistently in the first team of their respective clubs. As for needing two strikers, I think we only need one as I'm certain Rochina would be an excellent front man, he has all the right attributes.

With regards to defenders, Tal Ben Haim could be available for very little money, if any. Struggled to hold down a starting berth at Chelsea and City but was one of the few stand-out payers at Portsmouth last season. They need all the help they can get and we'd have a decent Championship player.

Huddersfield have rejected Fulham's bid for Rhodes. Our bid apparently stomps all over Fulham's and they're unlikely to match it, so it all depends on HT deciding to sell or not.

Could argue point by point but I dont want to defend SK, however you only need to add the bad weather and he really would be to blame for everything..
Which is not true, it has been a joint effort with the Owners
He is not Belezebub, just another unsuccesful football manager and tbh there 20 of those every season and the 3 worst ones go down.

Dear Sabby Shitface,
There is a big difference between panic and a sense of urgency. A sense of urgency is what you should have had when you were first appointed and should have moved to replace the manager. A sense of urgency was what you should have had when you should have acted to prevent the appointment of Colin Hendry whilst questions hung, unchallenged, over his integrity. A sense of urgency was what you should have had at the start of the window in acquiring some decent defenders. A sense of urgency is what you should have had when you needed to act on the supporters concerns when season tickets were not renewed.
Having done none of these things what you need to do now is PANIC.

Still, nothing we can do about it now, will just have to wait for things to implode ever further before any changes are forthcoming.

Have a read of this, a shocking indictment of the incompetence that rules the park these days.
With regards to the new squad numbers, I know the days of 1-11 are long gone, and some players can be very superstitious about their's, but I can't help but read something into some of the changes. Despite Kean saying the young Portuguese lads are for the future I get the impression that they'll feature quite regularly this season. Awarding Nunes the #7 shirt tells me that he'll be Hoilett's replacement come the start of the season. Vukcevic going from #29 to #33 doesn't look good though, especially when Petrovic has been awarded the #11 shirt.
I'm probably just being cynical - understandable on reflection - but I think Vukcevic may be frozen out again, in favour of the kids, and packed off in January. I hope not though as he's one of the better players in the squad. Also, with the urgency to find two strikers, despite the owners already dragging their heels when looking for just one, I really can't see another defender arriving. If any of the central defenders are sold then we'll have to replace them but I fear we may not leave ourselves enough time to find an adequate replacement.
If we sign a central defender and two strikers before the transfer window slams shut I'll quite happily admit that I was wrong.

We've already signed one striker with a poor injury record this season and we've already lost him. Instead of hedging our bets on whether not a player has put their injury nightmare behind them, or looking at bench warmers, perhaps we should look at strikers who had a couple of seasons playing consistently in the first team of their respective clubs. As for needing two strikers, I think we only need one as I'm certain Rochina would be an excellent front man, he has all the right attributes.

Arsenal signed him last season and hardly used him, he got just one game I think. Looking at Arsenal blogs it seems that it totally baffled the Gooner fans as why Wenger didn't play him more?
He has played in two World Cups and he is in the current South Korean Olympic team and has already scored one goal v Switzerland and he is playing in the quarter final v Gabon at 5pm today. Worth having a look at a possible new Rover....need to be moving quicker though despite Corporal Shebby Jones call for no panic...
With regards to defenders, Tal Ben Haim could be available for very little money, if any. Struggled to hold down a starting berth at Chelsea and City but was one of the few stand-out payers at Portsmouth last season. They need all the help they can get and we'd have a decent Championship player.

Either way you look at it, a respected man in English football is ignored yet the owners are happy to take football advice from one of their Brazilian Chicken Farm managers, or whatever his non-footballing job is. Still, nothing we can do about it now, will just have to wait for things to implode ever further before any changes are forthcoming.

Huddersfield have rejected Fulham's bid for Rhodes. Our bid apparently stomps all over Fulham's and they're unlikely to match it, so it all depends on HT deciding to sell or not.

Have a read of this, a shocking indictment of the incompetence that rules the park these days.
With regards to the new squad numbers, I know the days of 1-11 are long gone, and some players can be very superstitious about their's, but I can't help but read something into some of the changes. Despite Kean saying the young Portuguese lads are for the future I get the impression that they'll feature quite regularly this season. Awarding Nunes the #7 shirt tells me that he'll be Hoilett's replacement come the start of the season. Vukcevic going from #29 to #33 doesn't look good though, especially when Petrovic has been awarded the #11 shirt.
I'm probably just being cynical - understandable on reflection - but I think Vukcevic may be frozen out again, in favour of the kids, and packed off in January. I hope not though as he's one of the better players in the squad. Also, with the urgency to find two strikers, despite the owners already dragging their heels when looking for just one, I really can't see another defender arriving. If any of the central defenders are sold then we'll have to replace them but I fear we may not leave ourselves enough time to find an adequate replacement.
If we sign a central defender and two strikers before the transfer window slams shut I'll quite happily admit that I was wrong.

Dear Sabby Shitface,
There is a big difference between panic and a sense of urgency. A sense of urgency is what you should have had when you were first appointed and should have moved to replace the manager. A sense of urgency was what you should have had when you should have acted to prevent the appointment of Colin Hendry whilst questions hung, unchallenged, over his integrity. A sense of urgency was what you should have had at the start of the window in acquiring some decent defenders. A sense of urgency is what you should have had when you needed to act on the supporters concerns when season tickets were not renewed.
Having done none of these things what you need to do now is PANIC.

The soccer complex is run by a company called KGB and apparently they pay well as the training involves running through the woods their pet dogs are involved so it should be good fun for Keano.The fact is he can even wear the new Rovers shirt which they state is idea camoflage against the forest backdrop so there is every chance he will pass out.I am sure Shebby can motivate him to go plenty of vodka will be available on the first evening and the hunters or rather lads over there will give him a warm reception and a free tattoo on the back of his head.

With the exception of Pederson, they are only fringe players, and to be fair, Blackman and Lunganzi were not even that.
Surprised though, or perhaps not with Venkys, but I thought Slew was one for the future. Out on loan last season and twelve months from joining the club released. Cost a few bob which will probably not be seen again.

Rather than freeze players out for no apparent reason except trying to save money, they really should play the best side available every week. If they had done last season they could well be playing Premier League football this season. The fact is that Blackburn Rovers are run by utterly untrustworthy individuals and the club has no relation to the club which was under the custodianship of the likes of Lawrence Cotton, Norman Forbes, Bill Fox, David Brown, Jack Walker and John Williams. This club will never progress until it is firstly honest with itself and sadly I cannot see this happening and so I wait (patiently) for the day when Steve Kean, the Venkys and other parties are just history.

Looks like Blackman could go to Sheff Utd probably on loan, but he is another that should have been given a chance. He is a big strong lad and should have been given a shot at proving himself last season but instead the odious one brought Modeste in from France. he was just a poor copy of Blackman I think.
As for Robbo, I think he has been a very good keeper for us but the last season or so he has not been at the top of his game and everything off the field at Ewood clearly affected him. Maybe time to let Robbo go and give Bunn a chance with Kean as back-up.
Not sure what is happening with NZonzi, Dann and Olsson...? But whatever it is it should be done quickly.
Dann should eventually go to Southampton I think for around 4 Million? NZonzi could go to Sunderland.....stran
ge that West Ham (Sam) didn't come in for him though? I would have thought Sam rated NZonzi... Olsson will probably also go maybe to Chelsea reserves or Stoke?
But all that is not 'asset stripping' LP, it is just normal football business that happens every close season and is happening at every club in the land right now.
Players out Players in...sell them for more than you buy them for is almost everyone but the top six's maxim.
As for the home attendances being 6k after the first match that is not very realistic even if we lose especially as we sold around 8k ST's. Plus the walk-on's there should be a 10k plus gate for every home league game.

Just that you racial bigots everyday you go on attacking Shebby, the Venky's and any non white (Asian )you see in your eyes. Be matured, rational and fair in your comments dont give childish irrational comments without your using head.
Surely as a 'star' defender for the Malaysian national team and having watched Rovers on Asian telly he should realise we need some defenders to bolster if not replace what we already have. Still haven't listened to his Radio Lancs interview as I like my computer and it could possibly be in bits before the end.

Not sure there is as much time as singh thinks, we play Ipswich Town in 2 weeks this Saturday, surely we need someone this week to get him settled? Had in the pocket and get Rhodes here and really make a statement

You on the other hand bring race into a topic that is nothing to do with race. It is to do with the incompetence and destruction of a family football club being run into the ground by people who have no idea what they are doing. Or if they do know what they are doing makes them even more despicable.

Bombay Duck Club wrote: Dear Sabby Shitface, There is a big difference between panic and a sense of urgency. A sense of urgency is what you should have had when you were first appointed and should have moved to replace the manager. A sense of urgency was what you should have had when you should have acted to prevent the appointment of Colin Hendry whilst questions hung, unchallenged, over his integrity. A sense of urgency was what you should have had at the start of the window in acquiring some decent defenders. A sense of urgency is what you should have had when you needed to act on the supporters concerns when season tickets were not renewed. Having done none of these things what you need to do now is PANIC.or at last show a sense of URGENCY !!!!!!!!!

I am trying to be fair here to the Venkys,Titus James Palani and shebby with all the harsh comments aimed at the them. Why dont you take a look at other club owners and managers making blunders to make the club go downward spiral ??? Do you know Cardiff owners changed the traditional team jersey and the symbol but the fans took it easy and accepted the owners reasons. No owners would let their club go bonkers after investing huge amount of money, only stupid fools would. The Venkys are trying to find a solution by bringing in Shebby singh and lift the club to its glory days but you and your friends so called fans keep on harping condemnation at the management endlessly. I know well as a fan you feel angry and frutrated at the way the club is moving but do not condemn and critise inconsiderately. The comments here may not target specifically at race but everything seems not right with Shebby Singh and Titus James Palani and the Venkys.May I ask you, why most of the people comments here are sound so angry and despise Titus James Palani attending trial to black burn rovers ? And why do you all hate Shebby for bringing in Titus James ? All this points to what ? How much do you know about Shebby Singh and Titus James Palani ? Listen,Titus James Palani may have played in a French 3rd division but that does not make him unworthy to play for Blackburn. Like I have said before he could have experienced exactly the same fate in France where other clubs in the 2nd or 1st Ligue under rated and condemn him everytime he makes an attempt to progress and develop. It could be also his agent and manager did not bother to find him a better team and deal. Sometime it is not only who and what you are but you must be very lucky to be at the right place at the right time. Do you know there so many players not really up to the mark playing in EPL. when I look at them playing in every EPL matches it makes me wonder what do these managers see in them , some are there only to hurt others with their reckless tackles. Hey , with all this flaws and short comings around us dont try to look for perfection in Shebby singh and Titus James Palani, they are skillful and talented football players not flukes. May I know, how much do you know about Rio Ferdinand ? Have you seen the many blunders he had made to cause MU lost many matches ?
EPL...I challenge you to find a single racist comment I have made in these articles going back as far as you like. I do admit to maybe implying the Venky's are corrupt, Shebby as an incompetent, Kean as a disgraceful human being etc. I would never make a racist comment for at least one special reason, my niece and nephew for a start are half Indian, my next door neighbours both lovely people are Asian. You on the other hand bring race into a topic that is nothing to do with race. It is to do with the incompetence and destruction of a family football club being run into the ground by people who have no idea what they are doing. Or if they do know what they are doing makes them even more despicable.

All I am bothered about is being able to return to watch my team of over 60 years once the manager has left. I will deal with the ownership issue later.

EPL....Titus James Palani ? Never head of him, no interest in him, not bothered whether he comes to Rovers or not. You are either a relation or his agent. All I am bothered about is being able to return to watch my team of over 60 years once the manager has left. I will deal with the ownership issue later.
