[Archived] Venky's - Do You Support Them As Owners Of The Club?

[SIMON GARNERS 194]

Watched the India segment on Football Focus. Asked about Kean's position Vinny Rao said "98% of the fans are happy with him" or "support him", can't remember exact quote.

I give up with this lot,they have no regard or respect for us fans.

[brian_gallagher85]

If Kean is still in charge come next weekend then both barrels will also be directed squarely at these Indian muppets! God I'm really starting to feel the same sort of hatred towards "Barry White" and his Indian Mr Bean brother as I do towards Kean.

[broadsword]

Until Kean is fired (preferably from a human cannon across the Grand Canyon)

That's no good at all. He may land n the other side and survive.

Fired from a cannon into shark-infested waters is preferable.

I find it strange thatin the first game back after the trip to India, chief ass-licker Roberts gets a start.

I wonder what motivated that?

[FourLaneBlue]

I have to be honest and say I Feel for Venky's. Every interview I have seen from them I get the impression they really want to succeed. I take things the press say with a pinch of salt.

I wanted Kean to work out. They have backed him to the hilt. He has let them down in a big way.

He has let us fans down in a big way too. Venky's I don't see have done much wrong.

Venky's appointed him after sacking an experienced manager and have refused to pot him despite dire results. Kean never had any kind of history to suggest he could be an actual manager.

Venky's are the ones that have done everything wrong.

I will give them one more chance - mines a chicken curry not too hot.

[FourLaneBlue]

The Football Focus interview is an absolute joke.

It's becoming less and less likely to believe in the Raos simply being gullible. The truth is, it's becoming very difficult to believe a word they say. They know that it isn't just 2% of fans that are unhappy...so why are they saying it? A few fans were responsible for all the emails? Yet, they said they understood the feelings of fans and monitored the messageboards.

Too many things just do not add up about the Raos. The Pune 9 came back and offered nothing concrete as to why they are good owners, it was just more jam tomorrow and attacking those fans who have the temerity to not let Kean take relegate us if they can help it.

Venky's and Rovers...for a company that sells chicken, it's surprising how fishy it all smells!

[BPF]

Something occured to me today.

Venkys admitted that they bought us as a vehicle to promote their caged and poorly treated battery farmed dead chickens...

In terms of marketing there is no need for us to be successful. As long as they believe their food is good and that people are talking about us that is all they need. Blackburn Rovers winning the Premiership would not make them anymore likely to sell chicken. All it takes is for them to be in the news. Not firing Steve Kean represents worldwide advertising every single week....

Anyway....Spurs will destroy us. I really hope that the fans do WHATEVER it takes to implement change. Whether or not you believe it, Blackburn Rovers are dying.

[T4E]

Stephen Jean is not my manager......

Shamon.

[philipl]

Whilst Kean stays, these failing owners will have zero support from me.

[arbitro]

The bell has just been sounded for last orders in the Last Chance Saloon.

Too many conflicting interviews and statements and little substance. Despite all the positivity from the visit to Pune if we judge them on their first 11 months they have been a unmitigated disaster. As for the future who knows but my glass is certainly half empty as far as they are concerned.

[philipl]

By the middle of next week, it will be as though the Pune trip never happened.

Massive fail by Venky's.

[Glenn]

and attacking those fans who have the temerity to not let Kean take relegate us if they can help it.

erm, tha vast majority of us did no such thing. My views on the Rao family may have changed out there, my views on Kean have not and regardless I wouldn't force my views on anyone else any way.

Actually, that's one thing I did change my mind on out there, Venky's NEED Rovers to be a success for their plan to work. Wether they are going about things the right way to achieve it is different matter, but I have no doubt Balaji genuinely intends us to play in Europe again.

Do they still have those European competitions for non-league teams?

I once met a young lad who aspired to one day work for United in a sports science capacity, trouble is he sucked at sports science. So despite his best efforts he just couldn't fulfil his dream and left once his grades dropped below 40%.

Our owners can have all the dreams they want about europe and so on, but all that matters is right now and as things stand we are the worst team in the league. Dream is the right term.

If Venky's truely need Rovers to be a success then why do we find ourselves were we do and them spouting more crap about how great things are.

Actions and words.

Do they still have those European competitions for non-league teams?

Have no fear, thanks to our erstwhile leaders the chicken overlords, we can look forward to guaranteed entry in the Asia cup.

That for me is better than Europe, we're guaranteed a place in a world wide competition, happy days.

Haven't our owners done us proud?

[PAFELL]

Northern rover on twitter has said he has received an email from a contact, saying Kean will be sacked this week. Knowing venkys they will sack, without a replacement lined up.

Venkys must look at what Sam is doing at WHU, and cringe.

This is their plan to turn all of India blue and white I take it?

I don't think it's a plausible plan, I can't see it being lucrative.

I don't think Balaji is a details man. And he's presumably the brains of the outfit.

The way they've gone about running Blackburn Rovers is a farce. Every time they make a move they put their foot in it.

There's more chance of a duck farting than Venky's making any sort of a success of their ownership of Rovers. Apparently the fat spiv wants to be running Rovers for a very long time and wants to hand it down to his lad? If that's the case, they'll be no club to hand down.

The Tweet says "could" not "will"...

Same old same old.

[Billy Castell]

The only way we will be in Europe is if they restart the Anglo-Italian cup. The Rao family are a bunch of spivs who have bungled everything to do with the club from day 1. It is all very well having this grand vision of Blackburn being the biggest team in India, Jason Roberts as big a hero as Sachin Tendulkar and so on, but the actions they have taken to get there is a blinking joke. I could say it is my intention to become as rich as Bill Gates and have regular threesomes with the ginger bird from Doctor Who and Jessica Ennis, but I have no idea how to get there, and it is rather fanciful to say the least.

Ryanair do lots of cheap tickets to Europe, thats the only way we will get there

[ABBEY]

Why has your views on the Walter Mitty family changed Glenn? Apart from their freebie?

We are now bottom and going down . What have they done to make us better? When's beckham and CL footy coming? They lie like kean !!!

They are scum and ARE killing our beloved club and talk about uncle jack is a disgrace , they are not fit to even mention his name!

Has someone told him finishing bottom doesnt get you into europe!?

[Rovers Gals]

Simple fact is venkys ate the route cause of clubs problems as they clearly are incapable of making correct football decsisions , bought off more than they can chew / afford .they are nieve and turning us into ridicule , they employ kean and he's duo g his job to the best/ worst of his capability . No longer can we point sole blame at kean ! Venkys need to learn fast as no decent manager will want to manage rovers with them as owners . It's sad to say I feel we will do a Portsmouth , venkys will along with kean guide us into championship and possibly worse ? There promotional venkys bandwagon is clearly just that and I am doubting their sincerity as owners . Words are cheap to me , actions speak louder . If venkys arnt sincere enough then let's hope they can fi d a buyer who is ? Kean out / venkys out is how I now feel !

[Mercer]

So many conflicting messages from the Raos.

IMO, they are totally untrustworthy and a bunch of shysters as evidenced by their decision making and management of the club.

And the FAMILY get free international Tv coverage to promote their ownership of 198 companies of which little old Rovers is but a chickens feather - a plucked chicken at that

Venkys are well versed in using emotive words like FAMILY but let me say this again - Venkys: you PLUCKERS are NOT in my family.

[ABBEY]

Time for venky protests?

I think so!
