I doubt there's many of them on...

So i'll start a thread for them...

Samba to Anzhi?! I understand they're all big spending etc but really?! Was he that desperate to get out of ewood park?

The team's players live and train in Moscow due to security problems in Makhachkala and travel nearly 1,250 miles for home matches.
might aswell have gone to Burnley.

Finally a rovers thread!


Samba isn't a massive loss, we've been doing ok without him.

I think we will stay up this season now wolves can't find a manager.

they didnt do too bad yesterday!!

how much of yesterday's result was a new manager bounce. i do think they've planned for relegation though.

i'm surprised they've managed to keep hold of Junior though.

yesterdays result was no surprise - it was man city but rovers were so toothless. nothing forth coming - trying to set up a counter attack against city.

do you see this new takeover bid by the fans working or failing?

Relegation was inevitable having just come from Ewood park tonight...

Not only do they get relegated Kean wants to stay on and bring the team back to the premiership

it does not get any better

Man of the match... the only one in a Blackburn shirt to force Al-Habsi into making a save wink
So who's more unpopular now, Steve Kean or the Indian owners?

Reading the papers today it's not looking good - 40% cuts, disarray at the top of the club, owners whom refuse to accept reality, punting the club around Asia trying to sell it whilst denying it's for sale in Europe, player sales, inability to pay for the Kean's removal. Wow.

The previous owner's perhaps have a lot to answer for - how on earth did they allow the club to be sold to these people?


Maybe they could see the writing on the wall and took the money and ran?

Paul Hunt has been sacked by Rovers! (Deputy CEO).

Wheels are well and truly coming off now (imo).

Yeah hunt's been sacked for leaking the letter though he denies this. it was inevitable that he'd be sacked.

its a joke - there's some people who are saying the venky's bought the club thinking it was the IPL model where its a franchise and they wouldnt be relegated.

kean's not gone due to the signing of the new contract and the compo he'd be due - he knows this too so hence he's staying. if he had any ounce of self respect he'd leave now. saying that he was surprised to find blackburn rovers in this relegation battle shows how out of depth he is. I do think its more the owners than kean and he's been put into a difficult position - it was a great opportunity for him to manage a premier league side but now its jsut shambolic

I don't agree with this. If the club are going to give him a contract for a set period, then they should be prepared to honour it. He must still think he has what it takes to turn it around, hence him staying.

Only way he should leave is if either the club sack him or he himself loses faith that he can improve the team.

Interesting to see the latest Steve Kean development: http://www.telegraph.co.uk/sport/football/teams/bl...

I hope this is what finally gets him sacked.

THE END IS NIGH!!!!

he's outlasted a trophy winning manager

he's outlasted a uefa cup winning manager

he's outlasted a blue nose

he's outlasted a united legend.

but it seems like the end is nigh finally!!

a 2 day meeting with venky's in india and brett lee who is sponsored by venky's tweeted that he'd been sacked!

well not quite it seems - they want kean to take up his old job - which i have to admit he was good at

http://www.thesun.co.uk/sol/homepage/sport/footbal...

i think the whole thing of compensation payable to kean is the sticking point.

After seeing the behaviour of your fans during the Boro game I am surprised anybody would want to play for you.
You are top of the championship and losing to one of the leagues better sides yet you boo individual players and ask for the manager to be sacked!

Priceless.

A lot of people in the pub after our game could not believe what they had heard on Friday night.

I hate to think what would happen if you were in the bottom three.
