who are ya? On SSN earlier they showed clips of Reading fans protesting against Bullivant as a similar example of what Kean's getting at Ewood


I wonder how the MadStad generation would be able to express their desire to see a RFC manager removed? I can only imagine a drum would have to be involved somehow.

Mr Angry Anybody else feel shocked and appalled at watching the unremitting abuse that Steve Kean has been taking (not only his fans, but the local paper and even the local MP, Jack "Illegal war in Iraq" Straw) given the context of Gary Speed's tragic death recently?

TheMaraudingDog Gary Speed's death has nothing to do with this.


You don't think the abuse that Kean is getting might drive to him to do something stupid

Like siging an improved, long term contract

Witnessed quite some vitriol at the QPR game when we were calling for Rodger's head. I'm sure if it came to it, we could stump up some resistance.

But that was a one off. The abuse against Kean started last season and has evolved to its current fever pitch level. Still fail to understand why the people of Blackburn don't aim their bile at Venkys.

Dr Who was on the radio this morning and said he should go.

I assume Venkis is an anagram of the Master in TimeLord speak.

TBM Summary?!


AN extraordinary letter written by senior figures at Blackburn Rovers to the club’s co-owner, Anuradha Desai, proves they felt helpless at the direction the club was taking as early as January last year, just a few months after the takeover by Venky’s.

There is even a plea for Mrs Desai to explain to her own Blackburn board the role being played at the time by the SEM agency – headed by agent Jerome Anderson – in the club’s transfer policy.

The document, obtained by Sportingintelligence, is signed by three people: John Williams, who was then chairman, Tom Finn, who was the MD, and Martin Goodman, then the finance director.

That trio had all been at the club for many years as Rovers gained a reputation as a well-run, successful family club, but in the letter, dated 4 January 2011, they wrote: ‘We now find the board are not even being consulted on some of the most fundamental decisions this or any other football club ever makes.

‘This includes the termination of the manager’s employment [Sam Allardyce] and the appointment of a new manager [Steve Kean].

‘We have had no input into the terms of this appointment and presumably discussions are taking place with Steve Kean concerning additional staff appointments, again with an input from the board.

‘In addition, and of greatest concern, as we enter the transfer window, is your instruction that the manager is to no longer report to the board on transfer matters. The board’s role seems to be merely one of processing the transfers as opposed to delivering a strategy based on discussions with you as owners and working to pre-agreed financial budgets.’

Basically, the Board has been marginalised by the new owners.
