Shaw: We have to move on at Blackburn Rovers (From This Is Lancashire)

I think we should help venkys by giving them a list of suitable replacements, just so we don't have to go on strike again!
Souness would be my preference.

Just seen Kean's SEM collegues Merson and Charle Nicholas on Sky. No surprised to hear them still supporting him and slagging off the supporters. Merson actually said that the fans should accept that Rovers should have been relegated and are at the level they should be. Nice comments from a cocaine snorting alchoholic with a gambling addiction. He'd be better getting his own house in order before critisizing others. Both these two drink out of the same trough (literally) as Kean so no surprise their support of him.

Perhaps our Director of Communications would like to do a bit of communicating!!

Their comments were a disgrace, have sent Mr Stelling an email with my thoughts !!!!

I to have just seen the Skysports report. Absolutely disgusting comments from people who have no idea what has gone on at the club over the last two years. Somebody ought to put Sky in the picture with the actual FACTS!

KEAN RESIGNS ON LEGAL ADVICE
Steve Kean dramatically resigned at 5.30 pm on Friday.
But with all things Kean it was not so simple as it seems.
Whilst all sports channels both TV and radio had pundits, personality’s and former players all queuing up to express their sympathy for Kean and the treatment he has had to endure these past weeks, the true picture is much different.
In a meeting earlier on Friday with chief executive Derek Shaw and Director Paul Agnew, Kean had expressed his determination to carry on regardless. Despite the damage his continued presence was doing to the club and more important the attendances, Kean had every intention of riding out the storm with the full backing of Shaw and Agnew, and had hoped to oust his arch enemy Shebby Singh.
Kean knew that Singh himself was getting frustrated and disillusioned in his efforts to remove Kean and bring in a new manager. With the Rao family continually stalling and being indecisive (so what’s new) Singh was considering his position.
However Kean’s position changed in mid-afternoon after allegedly taking a phone call from his agent Jerome (the man who ruined Blackburn Rovers) Anderson and his legal team.
Kean was advised to resign, saying his position was “untenable” and poignantly added that he could not say any more “for legal reasons”.
Those reasons, I can reveal, are that Kean is to sue the Venky Company and the Rao family for constructive dismissal and squeeze every penny that he can from them.
Mrs Anuradha Desai is about to see Kean in his true colours. She is going to learn about Kean what we all know, and that is that Kean is a very devious man.
Mrs Desai has issued a statement saying “she is disappointed with Kean’s action”. She is going to get a lot more disappointed as Kean plans to plunder the family fortune. And he will succeed.
The evidence of this last week is stacked in favour of Kean as the situation could not have been more badly handled by the Venky’s.
The solution was quite simple but Mrs Desai refused to grasp it. She should have sacked Kean and pay up his contract. Venky’s had every justification to do so, his record is appalling, the worst Blackburn manager ever and lost half the fans (Venky’s customers) from the club.
No arguments, no legal action for wrongful dismissal, a straight forward uncomplicated procedure. Kean would not have had a case or reason to complain.
But no, Venky’s huffed and puffed particularly Mrs Desai and played into Kean and Anderson’s hands. It will cost her a fortune, serves her right, but it will impact on Rovers financial stability. I have warned Mrs Desai on several occasions that Kean would ‘bite the hand that fed him’, but she has ignored all advice from everyone.
In one National newspaper today Kean talks of being “stabbed in the back”. That’s rich coming from Kean, if he wants to talk about being stabbed in the back, give Sam Allardyce a call and ask him what it’s like.
Mrs Anuradha Desai has ‘egg on her face’ big time. She has given Kean wealth beyond his wildest dreams. Kean, a ‘jobbing coach’, hit the jackpot at the Rovers. Never could he have envisaged earning the salary he has been paid as an imposter at the Rovers, a reported £1.3 million per annum.
Now he is going to ‘bite the hand that fed him’.
Mrs Desai, you have been stitched up! As I have repeatedly warned you Kean would.
And now Kean is going to squeeze you dry.
ENJOY.
Reg.
Footnote:
May I respectfully suggest to Mrs Desai that she has no more dealings with Jerome Anderson and his agency and listens more to her brothers Ventkatesh and Balaji but more so Shebby Singh, who in a short space of time has picked up on the mood of the supporters, something she has never done. It would not be a bad idea to take more note of Andy Cryer in the Lancashire Telegraph and Reg of course!!

Whatever manager is appointed, Venkys MUST get the message that a Venkys' or an Anderson yes-man will only lead to the same protests by the Rovers fans. Rovers fans are not stupid. We know much more than Sky Sports pundits. We love our club. We KNOW that a good independent manager who makes his own decisions and directs all footballing matters is a MUST. Anything less and the fans will vote with their feet again until BRFC is run in a proper sensible manner again.

Surely Rovers fans have been involved in enough protests now to last a lifetime. Just support the club 100%. Let the directors direct and the supporters support. We got rid of the Odious one through the efforts and determination of the fans - but now any fans that still seek to disrupt the club after this long awaited victory should hang their heads in shame and slink off somewhere else. Lets show the world we do know how to support our club without any boos or protests.

It will not matter who they get in , the problem is still at the club , VENKYS.

"Let the Directors, direct." Come on, they couldn't direct traffic into the car park at Ewood. How can they 'direct' things from India - Shaw and Agnew were North End rejects, so whose left?. Mrs. D and her brothers have been stitched up by "I was forced to resign" Kean because they (she) dithered and were / are "absent owners". Supporters (what's left of them) have been well and truly stitched up, long ago. Let's see the "Directors" (owners) act like that, admit their mistakes and make a positive move and get rid of the whole 'old' regime. They should bring in a brand new, professional / qualified team, starting with a proper Chief Executive (no "Global Advisor" please) and a proper football manager (no coach). As for Shaw, if he wants to move, then he should close the door on his way out of Ewood.

PS: Is Kean's Bodyguard still employed at Rovers? - perhaps he has been re-assigned to guard Colin Hendry, who appears to be coming in for some stick from all quarters (perhaps Colin is next to 'resign').

I second that Mr French.

Arte et labore

Mr Shaw - we are in no doubt that we have to move forward and put behind us this disgraceful period. The decks are clear awaiting the captain of the good ship Ewood. So I ask - be sure to make the correct appointment and speak wisely into the ears of the wet one's over in Pune. Inform them of the very real nature of BRFC and not the idiotic dream of some ! Our honors come through our motto and down on the pitch is were it is proven for better or worse not some shambolic imitation that we have had to witness.

Arte et labore

Shaw, Agnew, and Singh, the Three Stooges should follow Walter Mitty out of the door as soon as possible. They could not run the proverbial in a brewery!!! Pathetic incompetents the lot of them, and I won't even mention the so called owners - they are beneath contempt.

SHYSTERS GET OUT OF OUR CLUB

The media antipathy towards us, the supporters, has been staggering in its bias. Just read a piece on the BBC website stating that Kean's children had been targeted at school. Does anyone really believe that there are any Rovers fans in Weybridge Surrey? If there are I sincerely doubt that that any would target Kean's offspring. However, ignore the media, we'll get no support from them, and get behind the team.
Keith Hill for me!

we dont want Hill he does not agree with our payments for being relegated, Slagged us off no end. So him no way.

We got shut of the little dictator but we ain't gonna get a revolution...be realistic about this. Maybe Hendry will go, but not sure about Black? But Shaw and Agnew are not going anywhere, We all called for Venkys to put a board in place and they did, and it wont change now. The club needs to concentrate on getting the right manager in place now, that is all we need. Nothing else will change, the fans did their job now let the club do theirs..

So you are saying that the fans who boycotted games, who shouted for Kean Out and who could see the corruption and sh1te running right through the club were "seeking to disrupt the club"?

Read what you wrote. You are saying that if Venkys appoint another yes man as manager, we should all be good fans and not say anything. Mr Sit On The Fence, the management, directors and staff have screwed up this club royally. And now, just because Kean has gone, you think everything is alright!

I made no mention of disrupting the club, booing or protesting without good cause. YOU mentioned that because that is your perception of the majority of Rovers fans. The Rovers fans will do whatever they want. They will not follow like sheep. They are all individuals who can make up their own minds. The know a lot about football and BRFC.

So I state again what we I have observed for the last 2 years - if Venkys appoint the wrong manager, a yes-man with no experience and no independence, Venky's will once again incur the wrath of the fans. It is inevitable, it is obvious that fans will stay away if the new man is just a continuation of the same kind of manager. I am not encouraging anybody to protest, it will just come naturally, so Venky's MUST appoint the right manager.

andersonshite still controlling the media i see. jeff stelling should be ashamed. i dont like him anymore. charles nicolas is a loser,always has been. loads of money no doubt,but zero integrety. merson....well !!!

You don't know what will happen. You don't know what being realistic is in this situation. You don't know what is happening behind the scenes. We have been lied to over and over again. Venkys are guilty of many lies, as was Kean. Do you really trust such people to appoint a board who will do anything other than what Venkys want? They have their yes-men in place, but Kean became untenable. He had to go. He resigned? On the surface, yes. But we don't know if it wasn't just another ploy to take the heat of Venkys. Kean is still a shareholder, it is likely he will still have an influence. This is far from over. We can cannot just "let the club do its job". The club is ruined, corrupted, still on the brink of collapse. Kean out is the first step. There are many more that need to be taken.

That is what I see from all that is written. We all hope that there is goodness and humanity that will rise to the surface, but the resignation / negotiations of Kean alone does not guarantee this. Fans still have a big part to play in this.

yes they do I agree - but only as supporters doing a traditional support your team 100% role. The time for anarchy has gone with Kean!

Mr.Kean was probably one of the worst managers Blackburn have ever had but I don't think anyone deserved the abuse that he got after all it was the Venky's who gave him the job. For them to appoint a manager without any knowledge of the game was a disaster waiting to happen, they sacked Big Sam when they should have waited to learn what the game was all about and take advise from people who could have helped them. Even now after the event one has to ask why did they let him spend all that money only to remove him after half a dozen games. I think it shows they still have a lot to learn so the fans should not expect too much to soon.

Now that Kean has gone the spotlight is firmly on you venkys! Nowhere to hide now .

Having just read regoftherovers posting and claim above I am smiling as, IF that is a fact, that was the first thought in my head when I heard he had tendered his resignation.
If you think about it, it could not have gone any better for him.
He has not been sacked, he has determined his own destiny, he is/can blame others totally, he is/will be far richer coming out of this than he could have ever dreamt. He will be paid off a very handsome undisclosed out of court settlement by Venkys (how many is that now? , do these people never learn???).
It begs the question of who actually leaked the claimed/alledged sacking letter/memo, don't you think???

Shock, horror - schoolchildren calling each other names.

The kid with the red hair and big nose must be gutted papa Kean's gone.

Just heard Derek Shaw this afternoon talking on the radio and in all honesty he came across as a bumbling fool. If he is "in charge" they I dont hold out much hope.

"Madame Desai", as he apparently has to refer to her, has all the hallmarks of a control freak. I fear that Mr Kean's replacement will not be to our liking but I hope to be proved wrong.

Don't take any notice of the Sky monkeys. I was getting angry but managed to persuade myself to treat it with total indifference.

Nicholas was particularly nauseating. His diatribe about what Kean had done was, almost verbatim, what Kean himself came out with earlier in the year when explaining the owners' actions.

"We had become a selling club...too high a wage bill....had to clear the debt" blah de blah de blah. Remember?

And Merson? What a pr!ck. He always gave the impression he wasn't the the sharpest knife in the drawer when he was a player. I think that has been pretty much confirmed whilst he's been embarrasing himself every Saturday afternoon on Sky.

I've already said wait for the "I was the victim" campaign to begin, Kean's already set it in motion. "My position had become untenable" my ar$e.

Looks like it's picking up momentum.

How utterly, boringly predictable.

People will listen to these halfwits and believe them. It's something we will have to put up with.

We may have to adopt the Millwall attitude; no one likes us, we don't care.

Its simple really just don't buy, don't listen, and when you are caught unawares just let it drift over your head as some useless annoying droning sound. Because that is all it is.

Naah, she will gladly reward us, her loyal followers and minions by busting the bank to aqcuire a top line guy. This, after getting all the good advice she needs from third parties who know football and in doing so not use her own extensive knowledge and interview anyone whilst getting him to bring his wife along so she can get chummy with her!!!

Don't let that bother you, the managers in the majority shoot from the hip in support of the team/players they are at that moment in time in charge of.
Extreme example: Warnock on Diouf!!!

Its certainly not a 'personal' view IMO.

Kean has gone....!!!
many asked for that ... U got it......!!
now lets concentrate on supporting the team...
BRFC neeeds You the supporters....!!!
Where are you.......!!!
Lets get on with our job of supporting the team....
BRFC neeeds us, the team needs us, the players need us...!!
we are playing against 12 men every weeek...!!!!
come on fans lets back the players and start winning matches
We are BRFC, lets show em all we are the best fans
and lets be proud of BRFC and we BRFC can be winners.
Arte et Labore......come on now.....show em all and beat em all..

mr shaw you move on and hendry.

your the best reg.

If the rest of parrasites that have destroyed this club could resign then I really could rejoice.

I suppose we all have to ask ourselves,

Are we only concerned with being in the Premier League
or
