Appleton: Owners' ambition convinced me to take Blackburn Rovers job (From This Is Lancashire)

Just listened to Appleton on Radio Lancs and I wish him well !!!!!
He said that having spoken to 'Derek and Paul' (no mention of Singh what so ever) he felt that this was the right move for him - to come to such an historic Club with owners that have ambition was an opportunity he could not turn down (no mention of him nearly doubling his wages as Oyston said) !!!!!!
Yes Messrs Shaw Agnew Singh and the Venkys certainly have ambition - just look where we stand compared with 2 years ago and not a decent so called Premiership Player in the side nor a decent Director on the Board - asset stripped and gates having fallen by nearly two thirds on some match days.
He also said he has never shrugged a challenge - not what the people at Blackpool will say - only time will tell but one things for certain he's joined the 'real' Circus!!!!!!!!!!!!!! but I wish him well.
OUT WITH THE LOT OF THEM

THE END OF THE SINGH ERA ? WE HOPE !
Singh the midget sized but big mouthed nincompoop , he still thinks he is a football , man NO Singh your not , you played at an amateur level and was the token local for ESPN football show and most football educated people scorned and chuckled at your punditry comments, plenty examples of Singhs childlike football comments.

Singh is responsible for nearly all THE dross we have right now at the club , Singh was responsible for Kean`s extended tenure , Singh was responsible for the hiring of Steve Keans drinking pal Hendry , who was laughingly recruited as a "defensive coach" his quote of " I`m here to stop the goals leaking " now he works as the third assistant coach to reserve team manager Bowyer ,but with a first team managers salary.

Singh took it upon himself to appoint Berg after failing in bringing in other ex players Sherwood/McKinley ,Singh has a love affair with Rovers ex players, in the meantime Singh sacked some good men Black ,Minns and Brunskill why were they sacked and the dishonourable and incompetent Hendry kept ?

Anyway good luck M.A. if you gonna fail , fail by your own hand and not under the advice of a clown like Singh or his new best buddy the granny swindler.

Most important point of all "“What was important was I have 100 per cent say on the football side of things and I’m happy they would give me full backing about that,” Appleton said." Definately not a Shebby appointment then, bye bye Shebby, Shebby good-bye. Shebby bye bye. Fingers crossed the players actually put in the effort for him, if so, promotion may actually be a light at the end of the tunnel!

fair comment LTR

However I think we have all been waiting far too long to witness this ambition that Venkys and co have ...... and just blindly following is not going to stop them taking the club into oblivion;

As fans we have little option but too give MA and his team a fighting chance and hope that those numpties have got something right at last..... the law of averages says they cant get every decision wrong...

Yes C'mon Rovers ...... but I have not been this nervous since we went bottom of the 3rd division in the 70's.... and I didnt pay to get in then as we used to climb the wall at the corner of the Riverside and Darwen end ...... I still bear the marks where a coppers boot would meet me on the way down occasionally.

Looks like Venkys will never learn - every manager coming in HAS to kiss their ar$e publicly in order to get the job.

Well, he can't exactly say "The owners wouldn't be able to smell a **** in a perfume factory could he?

I wonder what every other new manager says at at their first press conference?

We can only give the guy a chance and judge him on future results, not the past failures of other managers, or Venky's for that matter.

It seems that quite a few on here wouldn't be happy unless they had something to moan about. Appleton is the manager and the doom and gloom brigade are writing him off before his first game. So Venkys have employed a PR company, well at least they are a UK based company who will.advise them and get paid on results, not lining their own pockets for no outcomes or a snake who hadn't a clue rather delusions of grandure, shebby is quiet at the moment. Judge Appleton on his performance at Rovers not anywhere else, who knows, you may get a pleasant surprise or more likely you will have to find something else to moan about

So far the ambition has been evidenced by the following:

1. Selling all of our best players off, and freezing out the other top earners until they leave.
2. Buying mainly dross from obscure leagues and teams, who are on the whole as the term dross indicates not good enough.
3. Sacking an experienced manager and replacing them with a cone carrier who had no managerial experience.
4. Keeping the cone carrier manager on in the face of a mass fan revolt and unrest, and relegation to the lower division.
5. Sacking experienced Rovers board member executives who had the club running one of the tighest regimes in the Premier league and replacing them with cheap and/or incompetent alternatives, if at all.
6. Watching the club implode around them, they appoint a PR company.

Yes, that shows the Venkys ambition.
Just how to destroy a premier league club in 2 years.

@Harwoodstblue - There is no master plan. There isn't even a back-up plan.

Investing in Blackburn Rovers was purely an economics decision, based on marketing strategies. Venky's were then surprised (they were likely the only ones surprised) when Rovers got relegated, and they (now) realize that in the Championship, the Rovers are not that strong a marketing tool for their franchise as they had hoped / planned for.

They WANT / NEED to get their team back into the EPL - but having a need or a want isn't really a plan now, is it?

Lets start with the basics, PR means public relations and the role of a public relations company is to help an organisation to understand it's customers better and therefore forge better relations with its purchasing public, in this case Rovers supporters.
Outcome number 1.
Rovers supporters feel Venkys are detatched and do not understand the club - lets face it that has been a constant source of concern from day 1. Now Venkys start attending the games to start to address this concern -0 football club owners attending matches to watch their team.
PR and spin are totally different and spin should stay in the realms of politics. I struggle to see how you make this association? is it because there is a new series of Yes Prime Minister on Sky? To answer your question, the outcomes will be how Venkys alter their behaviour to develop a better relationship with us Rovers fans, not how to lie or twist things. Seeing that you are thinking along these lines, and I have responded to you please can you tell me who shot JFK and the whereabouts of Elvis?

If Shabby has been moved to the bed by the door, I'd be happy and even happier if Agnew or Hendry were next in line.
I reckon Ms Desai is here to find a potential buyer and lay down the law. She'll shiver and be bored through the game then hightail it to London to try to offload Rovers.
By by Olly, Robbo,Gael the Warrior -there has to be a clear-out to get some cash for Ms Desai to go home with good news for the accountant in Pune.

We have to pressure them all we can - very limited I know - to make a decent and responsible exit. They could at least open up a channel to Wayne Wild's outfit to see if that is at all a viable option.
Can't see any other buyer, the hot money is drying up and there are better bargains already in the Premiership, like Southampton, Norwich, West Brom and most of all Everton; and clubs more likely to eventually go up with a bigger potential fan base - the Sheffields, B'ham (who'll be goig for a song soon).
We're a long way down the queue for the Sheiks and Russian mafia.

Tell me, Captain, where would you put supplyng a 10 years old (at least) photograph of the Indian woman to the local press to replace one taken two years ago at Ewood? Does that come under 'forging better relations with the public'? Why do they wait several days to produce a new manager to the 'purchasing public'? Where have they hidden Mr. Singh? Mr. Appleton has told Radio 5 has yet to meet him. As for JFK and Elvis, why that's a spin doctors trick to change the subject. Same on you, Captain! And to think the PR merchants have only been here one week.............

Quite frankly what did a lot of you expect him to say? He categorically stated that he was in charge of all the footballing decisions - Kean wasn't, and neither was Berg entirely.

Obviously the Venky's have pledged to provide the guy with funds because he said: "A few new faces will do the club a whole world of good, it will bring fresh competition, but it has to be players who will affect the starting XI, not the 18".

Why he's being slated for accepting a higher wage I don't know. He was offered a higher wage so he would leave Blackpool. If he'd of been offered the same wage, he'd of stayed put.

We were never going to get Souness, Dalglish, Curbishley or anyone like that. Even if we had of got one of them, Souness and Dalglish have been proven to be out of their depth in modern football.

I'm just trying to be positive because I think it's pointless to selectively find faults in every decision being made. There will never be progress with that attitude despite what has happened.

What has happened, has happened, and we have no control over it. We don't even know what's going on behind scenes anyways, hence all these conspiracy theories, which might I add, are idiotic and mindless.

On Saturday I will not Boo / Chant or abuse Appleton and his highly qualified sidekick Westwood but I will feel pure hatred inside when I see the Neanderthal figure and his associate on our touchline who is only here to cream off a big fat salary for himself and to protect his mate Shaw's self interests in the boardroom against Singh.

How can he have been allowed to grace our historic corridors of power. When I think of the folks that have occupied our dugout over the years I despair.

Just another couple on the Blackburn gravy train with no experience to be on it.

Why they could not have done all of this at their beloved Preston is beyond me. Shaw Chairman of Preston - Appleton ex Preston player and now Shaw our "Managing Director" how have we arrived at this?????

Interesting how his interview(s) have been full of REAL emotion and love for our magnificent club, this if he was really genuine, would SHINE through no matter how directed he has been by our newly acquired PR firm, even more relishing the Rovers gravy train. You just cannot hide such things.

The whole sorry situation "Stinks"

Your obviously not bothered about the cynical manoeuverings by these manipulative individuals and yes there are plenty of people that would have been suitable for Blackburn Rovers in order to get them back to some sort of respectability in the footballing world.

These two (four if you include Agnew and Westwood) certainly will not, due the very nature of how they have gone about their business together and colluded behind the scenes.

They have brought nothing but contempt to Rovers fans before even setting foot in the place on Saturday.

How? with this in mind, can anyone possibly welcome them to Ewood Park.

Wonder what the discussions were like with their respective lawyers around their contracts. I bet: "I really want to come to Rovers regardless of the money" did not feature to heavily in the conversation.

How much am I to be paid - How long is my contract to be - WIIFM What is in it for me and my mate Westwood etc etc would have been the order of the day.

His interviews have been devoid of all emotion to be joining our great club which indicates and reflects hugely on the one and only reason he has joined us.

But I am just another of those negative doomsayers.

Got to say George I agree with you. He definitely sounds like someone who loves a prod up the arris.

The sad thing is though. It doesn't matter if Ferguson took the reigns. Venkys will never let go and that is the problem.

Long may it continue!

Yes Messrs Shaw Agnew Singh and the Venkys certainly have ambition - just look where we stand compared with 2 years ago and not a decent so called Premiership Player in the side nor a decent Director on the Board - asset stripped and gates having fallen by nearly two thirds on some match days.
He also said he has never shrugged a challenge - not what the people at Blackpool will say - only time will tell but one things for certain he's joined the 'real' Circus!!!!!!!!!!!!!! but I wish him well.

THE END OF THE SINGH ERA ? WE HOPE !
Singh the midget sized but big mouthed nincompoop , he still thinks he is a football , man NO Singh your not , you played at an amateur level and was the token local for ESPN football show and most football educated people scorned and chuckled at your punditry comments, plenty examples of Singhs childlike football comments.

Singh is responsible for nearly all THE dross we have right now at the club , Singh was responsible for Kean`s extended tenure , Singh was responsible for the hiring of Steve Keans drinking pal Hendry , who was laughingly recruited as a "defensive coach" his quote of " I`m here to stop the goals leaking " now he works as the third assistant coach to reserve team manager Bowyer ,but with a first team managers salary.

Singh took it upon himself to appoint Berg after failing in bringing in other ex players Sherwood/McKinley ,Singh has a love affair with Rovers ex players, in the meantime Singh sacked some good men Black ,Minns and Brunskill why were they sacked and the dishonourable and incompetent Hendry kept ?

Anyway good luck M.A. if you gonna fail , fail by your own hand and not under the advice of a clown like Singh or his new best buddy the granny swindler.

And there was Glen Mullan practically knocking one out at the thought of revealing the connection between Appleton and Anderson on his Twitter account. For someone who supposedly has the good of the club at heart he seemed almost happy that he got to be the bearer of bad news.

Funny how he was asking for a retraction by Dan yet he didn't make any formal apology for his own sh*t stirring.

Singh took it upon himself to appoint Berg after failing in bringing in other ex players Sherwood/McKinley ,Singh has a love affair with Rovers ex players, in the meantime Singh sacked some good men Black ,Minns and Brunskill why were they sacked and the dishonourable and incompetent Hendry kept ? Anyway good luck M.A. if you gonna fail , fail by your own hand and not under the advice of a clown like Singh or his new best buddy the granny swindler.

I take it you don't like Mr. Singh then,BRFC

Just read the full transcript in the LET, excellent, Appleton looks to have his head screwed on, knows what he wants to achieve and more importantly it looks like the players know as well.

Some of the players he is rumoured to be looking at are ideal for this league and the fact he has already brought in a goalkeeping coach he knows backs up his statement regarding staff.

Looking forward to tomorrow, weather permitting of course, lets hope the boo boys don't destroy everything again.

We as paying supporters would have had more respect for him if he'd have kept his mouth shut instead of him trotting out his lines written by someone else. What particular ambitions do the owners have then Michael? To carry on asset stripping until all the parachute payments are made then bugg3r off. No doubt I'll be slated off by some for this , but I have something between my ears that enables me to see the wood through the trees and I'll say it again... He's just another puppet who's strings are being pulled by clowns & he's come for more money than that tight git Oyston was paying him. I won't berate players or the manager during games and I'll give him a chance to prove me wrong and if I am I'll put my hands up and admit it while I'm showing my @rse in Burtons window

No time for sleep, too much work to do. I always tell everyone I know, if you ever come across me sleeping, just bury me I'm dead.

Sorry Mr Appleton you have disappointed me now by insulting the intelligence of us all.

Every other manager we have appointed have stated the same politically correct claptrap when all the evidence points to the fact that the only ambition held by our owners is to strip everything of value from the club.

I really hope you do well and that the team can maintain their recent good form but making statements like this will not endear you to the fans so stop the nonsense and do your talking on the pitch.

We have heard nothing but claptrap for 2 years now and look at where the so called ambition our owners has taken us. Get the team performing and you will be loved but don't patronise us please!!

HAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHA

HAHAHAHA

Comedy Central

Did you copy and paste the word infrastructure colne lass, you shiny faced mess?

You've no friends have you colne? Go on, admit it - I won't tell anyone.

You've no point to life either have you, you limp wristed spooner?

That's why your constantly on here trying to comfort your dull mind you've got a purpose. Why don't you get yourself a boyfriend eh? You could wear matching shell-suits... then he could tuck you in at night after your slackened dirt box has been smashed all over the place again.

I feel abit sorry for you really. Have you been getting bullied again? There's special people out there who can help you. Don't be afraid. There there....

By the way, hope your healing well after the 'op'...... muah ha ha ha ha x x

Touched a nerve there roversmcm34666qxyzit so so bitter,gallop on c@ck snot

so so bitter? Oh dear.

The word bitter should be embroidered onto Bonlehs club badge.

Can't say I blame you.... after all your comedy clubs 4 decades of being so unimportant and un-noticed, not to mention the several derby day humiliations by the club you've lived in the shadow of must be very hard to take - hence how easily pleased you tobacco chewing chest pounders are x x

Are you a proper wrovers supporter rovermcmxytit243ed cos from what I can see you haven't had your opinion on this story?just here keeping yourself amused trying to be the hard man with your gob while hiding behind ya wife you sad excuse of a being,it's probably your biffa telling ya which keys to press.
Hopefully you'll read the headlines and give your opinion that's if she lets ya.
What do ya think about Mr A,do you think you'll sign any new stars before the window shuts or and will you be there on sat?

What do you care about my opinion? You question if I'm a 'proper fan' even though you're a dingle but appear obsessed with Rovers. Are you a proper fan? Why do you have so much interest in coming on here commenting on every single Rovers article? Why do you care what I think about Appleton or who we might sign? Do you see my posts on Bonleh articles? No, because I don't care 1 bit about your cardboard village club, who you've signed, who you've sold, how many million you took to Plymouth in 1985 or whatever self proclaimed fantasies you lot dream up.

It appears to me you like to try and give it but can't take it, then accuse me of trying to be a hard man with a big gob. If you come on here gobsh1ting, then I'll give it you back but twice as much sunbeam.

As the old saying goes - If you can't take it, don't give it.

Oh and yes, I'll be there for on Saturday. Will you be?

Sunbeam ? Wasn't that a sh1te car from the 1980's ?

@Harwoodstblue - There is no master plan. There isn't even a back-up plan.

Investing in Blackburn Rovers was purely an economics decision, based on marketing strategies. Venky's were then surprised (they were likely the only ones surprised) when Rovers got relegated, and they (now) realize that in the Championship, the Rovers are not that strong a marketing tool for their franchise as they had hoped / planned for.

They WANT / NEED to get their team back into the EPL - but having a need or a want isn't really a plan now, is it?
