  • "WE WANT OUR ROVERS BACK ! SORRY IT’S TOO LATE
    The protest demonstration by BRFC ACTION GROUP prior to the Norwich game carried banners and placards reading WE WANT OUR ROVERS BACK.
    SORRY IT’S TOO LATE. Blackburn Rovers as we have all known it over the years is gone for good unfortunately and not for the better.
    Blackburn Rovers fans have to shoulder some of the blame.
    DON’T SAY YOU WERE NOT WARNED.
    I posted an article on my website and on the Lancashire Telegraph website warning every one of the implications and consequences of the Venky’s take over, the appointment of Steve Kean, the departure of Sam Allardyce, the demise of Chairman John Williams and Chief executive Tom Finn and most of all the appointment of agent Jerome Anderson as advisor.
    To say that my opinions and observations were derided is putting it mildly.
    I was slaughtered by all and sundry including being banned from the Lancashire Telegraph by Editor Kevin Young as being “inflammatory”.
    My opinions were condemned by former players including Chris Sutton and mocked an abused by almost all Blackburn supporters but my opinions never wavered from the article BLACKBURN ROVERS A DISASTER WAITING TO HAPPEN posted on my website 14 03 1, click this link to follow (http://www.regofthe
    rovers.co.uk/a-f/bla
    ckburn-rovers.html?s
    tart=165 and subsequent articles since.
    I received no support apart from a small minority that like me saw the bigger picture these included correspondents under the name of County Antrim Rover, Monkey Nuts, just two who saw the dangers that I saw and how right we were.
    The apathy from supporters on the takeover by Mrs Anuradha Desai and her family and the subsequent sacking of Sam Allardyce was staggering, hardly a voice was raised in protest as £££ signs flashed in front of supporters eyes. As everyone listened to the drivel from the Rao family about marquee signings and even Maradonna was mentioned as a possible manager. What utter nonsense, but they all fell for it, ‘hook line and sinker’.
    Greed took over and common sense went out of the window. Promises of Champions League were lost in translation, what they really meant was Championship League!
    We are all now reaping the rewards of greed and naivety. But what is done
    Is done and what has gone on is in the past. We must all pull together to rid us of this disastrous regime. Getting rid of Kean is key. We might all see the Venky’s in a different light if they were to give us a decent manager.
    Needless to say I have now over 23,000 faithful followers and we are all mainly ‘singing from the same song sheet’.
    Opinions continue to differ slightly but that is the magic of football.

Blackburn Rovers defender Salgado ponders Beckham reunion

MICHEL Salgado is weighing up a potential link-up with his former Real Madrid pal David Beckham – after resigning himself to the end of his Blackburn Rovers career.

Rovers’ Spanish defender has been desperate to play a part in the club’s Premier League survival scrap but, still frozen out of the first team picture, knows he will have to continue his career elsewhere next season.

The Lancashire Telegraph understands MLS outfit LA Galaxy, Beckham’s current employers, are just one of several American clubs interested in signing him from Rovers.

There is also interest from Qatar and the United Arab Emirates with Salgado’s current deal expiring this summer and the defender not short of options.

The 36-year-old has only made eight Premier League starts this season, his last game coming in the draw at Wigan in mid-November.

A clause in his contract stipulates that should Salgado play a handful more games for the club he would have been entitled to a year’s extension on his deal.

Salgado though had already told Rovers he would be prepared to leave Ewood in the summer, and forego the clause, no matter how many games he played for them this season.

He hoped the offer would allow him to feature in the club’s scrap to survive but has been left frustrated by their continued refusal to include him.

The Real Madrid legend is understood to be frustrated by the way in which Rovers are being run, having enjoyed his last three years at the club.

Meanwhile Rovers’ Premier League fight has received a boost by the news that defender Gael Givet is expected to be fit for Sunday’s crucial trip to Tottenham Hotspur.

The Frenchman suffered a dead leg early in last weekend’s 2-0 win over Norwich but played through the pain barrier to last the 90 minutes.

There were early fears that Givet would not make the White Hart Lane clash but there is now full confidence he will available for a game Rovers know they can’t afford to lose.

Bolton’s win at Aston Villa on Tuesday has heaped the pressure on Steve Kean’s men as they sit three points adrift of safety with just three Premier League matches remaining.
