[Archived] Transfer Window Thread

[hawkiiz]

We had some absolutely fantastic games under Sam, even his last game in charge against Bolton was leaps and bounds better than what we've had on offer under Kean. So far 100% of Kean's reign has given us rubbish football as far as I'm concerned. West Brom was better than the other 3 but only because of the spirit and togetherness shown by the players and the brilliant support given to them by the travelling fans.

If he can improve, that's fine by me, but let's not pretend it's been anything less than rubbish so far.

Agree. The last games under Sam was great. Kean is looking like Ince all over again - I too remember us beating Everton on the opening day, but it still ended up in crisis.

[alexanders]

The last games under Sam? Bolton?

[hawkiiz]

I don't want Rovers to get a transfer ban, points deduction and a fine but believe me, we are being run by Kentaro. Our boy in Brazil or Venky's boy in Brazil is Kentaro's boy in Brazil- that is what agents should do for a club.

But the rest.

If you want evidence, take a long hard look at everything that has come out of the Rao family so far and ask yourself, if JW and the board are not running Rovers (they are not), the first team coach now 3 year manager is a proud Kentaro client and the Raos are clearly totally out of their depth, then who is running the show?

I don't think the Rao dudes are in on RSC, Adam etc. They are in on Ronnie. THAT is the only transfer outside the normal here, isn't it? Of course the Rao/Desai will know about the targets the club has got, but I don't believe they are interfering.

So....

A midfield of:

Duff

MGP

Ronaldinho

Adam

Beckham

Can you imagine?

Jack is up there somewhere laughing his ass off.

That would make 5 mid-fielders and not a tackle between them!

[hawkiiz]

Bolton was not a bad performance.

Then Wolves Aston Villa, Newcastle... There is more. More importantly he secured us a bunch of points. You being norwegian should know what matters if you had a look at the national team over the past 15 years.

Not going to go into details for the reasons I have cited but they are interfering.

This quiet measured article in the Daily Telgraph sums up the Raos' time at Blackburn Rovers.v Very interesting that most of the British press are now not taking Venky's seriously at all if you just read through this morning's coverage.

Please STFU or at least have a day off.

I can tell you for fact you are wrong, and one or two people in the media will this week be receiving letters from SEM's Lawyers for suggesting as much.

[47er]

Has anybody rung up Fulham?

Remember Duff's little note in his little hand-writing on the front page of the LET just after he signed for Chelsea? He said he'd like to come back one day.

I think he still owns a house in Hurst Green doesn't he? So not far-fetched.

[doctorryan]

I concur.

Come one, if you are looking for trouble, you will find it. This written with the eyes of the author, and are not a good article.

No surprise there then but the pimply teenagers on here still won't believe it.

I wonder if their mums have ordered the Ronaldino shirt yet ? .

[PAFELL]

Why should he. There are things going on with in the club that are not good for the club. You may not like what he posts, but like all of us he is entitled to post them.

The Rao's are at present obviously running the show as indicated by them appearing completely out of their depth whenever they open their mouths. I find it hard to believe a sports agency instructed them to deny, then admit to the Ronaldinho saga. Indeed, if Mr Nixon's information is correct they actually advised them to keep Allardyce on to the end of the season.

It is conjecture at this point. There are no immediate indications that we are about to be flooded with Kentaro clients in January for them to pocket a few quid and do a runner as you had previously suggested.

Positing that our new owners do not appear to know what they are doing is a fair comment. The big bad sports agency would presumably know exactly what they were doing were they actually in charge and would be executing their evil plans with expediency ensuring their puppet clients were on message. I'm finding it difficult to believe it's both.

Jim, everyone is up for a laugh, but every post is now an insult to everyone who doesn't share your opinion, and it's making you look a bit thick, and desperate for attention.

How about some genuine input for a change? You don't think we'll sign Ronaldinho, we get it.

The reason you're so bitter is that this has given 95% of fans a huge lift, at a time YOU think we should be miserable. Grow up, let it be, and see what happens.

I'm sceptical of Kentaro's involvement in our club, Phil, but I'll be honest with you and tell you where my logical deduction takes me after what you've just said.

The Raos are clearly out of their depth. Recent events have been farcical. Therefore it is likely the Raos are running the show, as recent output has little resemblance to anything coming from people with footballing knowledge.

Edit- I see Deftangel is of the same opinion.

[deryck guyler's spoon]

Why should he. There are things going on with in the club that are not good for the club. You may not like what he posts, but like all of us he is entitled to post them.

Who are you? His big brother?

He should give it a bleedin' rest because he made his point yonks and yonks ago. His repetition/obsession is making it like North Korea on here.

[JMillZz]

I am not a teenager and not pimply, however I am most certain that I and a number of people on here including these teenagers surpass you in both maturity and intelligence.

P.s it's spelt "Ronaldinho".

[Kelbo]

My concerns here are these, how on earth, after three poor to average performances, has Steve Kean won a three year contract?

I will leave people to form their own conclusions but people in the football world will be gobsmacked by this, if indeed it is correct.

More importantly, to play football, you must win the ball and all the proposed signings are not capable of doing that, good on the ball yes, but you need a balance in a team, I know the football world knock Rovers quite a bit but even the more Rover friendly pundits are scratching their heads now, something is not right here, much as I would love the Ronaldinhos etc at Ewood, we have seen no evidence that our manager can work with or motivate players of this calibre!

It's called realism.

Why get excited over something that is not going to happen ?

The time to get excited is when we make some signings that are realistic targets, such as Charlie Adam.

And supporters still don't get it over the club's plight. Kean appears to me to be the reincarnation of Paul Ince.

You can put your head in the sand if you wish but others can see what is blindingly obvious.

[thenodrog]

Its not been on yet but when they flick through what's coming up it sounds like steve kean is to get a 3 year contract because of his ' global vision'..... Uh-oh!

I've seen no mention of that anywhere but just as an aside have we paid Ince up yet? Sa too for that matter or will we have 3 managers on the payroll?

The only thing blindingly obvious is that things are very different to how they have been before.

There is nothing predictable, the Ronaldinho thing sounds like it might just come off from what I've heard.

[hawkiiz]

I wouldn't read TOO much into the Twitter/Facebook thing when they revealed that we are bidding for Ronnie. The Venkys Facebook and Twitter has been absolutely horrible ever since I had a first look at it. It is not run by a pro social media person.

Keep in mind that LONG before Venkys actually got Rovers, their Facebook said "We are the new owners of Blackburn Rovers Football Club". It was premature, but they were right. This story looks like the same thing. Ronnie could be closer than we believe.

[philipl]

I will stress that in my opinion based on information received which I have good reason to know to be true, I understand there is interference in the managing of Blackburn Rovers. This includes one very specific incident. I presume Sir Alex Ferguson who said what he did will be receiving a legal letter as well.

[Wiggy]

The Rao's are showing that they are completely unable to grasp how western media and business work. All of this telling the customer what he wants to hear and not what is true, seems to come from a Delhi street traders manual of salesmanship.

Is it any wonder the way they are being portrayed in the media when one of the triumverate is telling untruths on an almost daily basis?

For heavens sake,why don't they hire some PR or use John Williams and shut up.

Maybe they are a decent family out of their depth, however, they are coming across as immature fantasists who couldn't lie straight in bed.

Leave the media to experts!
