John Jensen gone

[Amo]

embarrassig for Kean if true:

A source said: “Things have been difficult for John and it was just a case of him deciding it wasn’t ­going to work out.”

Your own assistant doesn't believe in you then who does.

Tbh, when a rag quotes a "source" it's just bullsh*t they've made up to substantiate the story.

Doesn't mean there's no hint of truth to this, though.

[broadsword]

Bullsh*t with a possible hint of truth?

Right you are.

There's no way you'd get a direct quote on it from Jensen at this stage, so of course quotes are going to be attributed to "sources". Doesn't mean the story's nonsense.

There's no way of knowing either way at this stage, but at some point the truth will come out.

[tony gale's mic]

I really hope Jensen quitting is true.

If he was fired by Venky's it indicates Kean will be in for a while longer, since Venky's will have identified Jensen as the prime culprit so will continue with Kean and a new assistant for a while yet.

[Gav]

It would be extremely useful for someone to try and get an interview with John Jensen. Whilst I doubt he'll bad mouth anyone, it would give us all some indication as to why he's left the club and an insight, if we need one, into the inner workings of the club currently.

Are Venkys telling porkies again?

[T4E]

Surely under the terms of his release he wont be able to talk about any of that?

[Hughesy]

Gauranteed he wont be able to, he will of got some compo based on that too!

[chris]

is Kamy around what does he think

I have a feeling Kean is trying to save face and whats coming from the club might not be the facts.

It seems more likely that Jensen is saving his career by leaving now.

[sijoco]

Quote from LET : "it is understood Venky’s decided it was time to freshen things up after seeing their side sitting in the relegation zone". There's still a rancid stench around Ewood even after Jensens departure - l think you might have removed the lesser of the two odours Venky's

[Mattyblue]

Don't be expecting any digging from the LT!

[den]

Don't be expecting any digging from the LT!

Which is a real shame.

Obviously the LT need to keep relations between themselves and the owners as sweet as possible, - but isn't it for everyone's benefit that they ask the difficult questions?

[waggy]

WHATS JIM SMITH DOING NOW?

[broadsword]

How utterly ridiculous!

"Results are poor - we've bought unsuitable players, they don't look properly prepared, the match day tactics, team selection, formation and tactics are wrong, and we can't defend. We badly need to freshen things up. But what to do? I know - we'll sack the assistant manager!"

They're morons, good and proper.

[Gav]

Surely under the terms of his release he wont be able to talk about any of that?

If they sacked him or he just walked, then maybe he'll be able to talk about it, golden handshake then he won't.

A Managing director

Several other directors

Several other club officials

Accountants

Kit Sponsors

Kit man

The club must have been in some mess to need all this re-structuring.

The sooner these cowboys disappear back to India the better...and take the scotch @#/? with them.

Things will finally turn nasty on the terraces tomorrow.

But the Tea Lady is still there (I guess) so its OK and SK should be rewarded for keeping such an essential member of staff on board! He deserves to double his wages for this IMHO.

Well as certain people on here would have it, they've never known a takeover to happen where the existing staff have been kept on. And seeing as Venky's are doing such a good job, who am I to argue?

I know of at least one person who said it, so I'm afraid you're wrong there.

I'm never wrong

[arbitro]

Does anybody know if the imposter has done his Friday press conference yet?

If so has he mentioned Jensen or the mystery surrounding his departure.

[philipl]

Add a Finance Director, two non-exec directors and a PA who left and has been begged back again.

[broadsword]

I'm never wrong

Thought you weren't "feeding" me any more?

To be honest, I think you could have left the kit man out, now I'm no expert on putting kits into bags and washing and then taking them out of bags and hanging them up. But I think it's a job that anyone could do.
