F'ing dingle sheep sh agger

[roverandout]

i was willing them to do well, to make us stronger but i just feel as though they dont give a damn about us, the supporters. every club's supporters are their bread and butter but these people just see blackburn rovers as another business and not a person's passion, i feel we have gone far enough with these people and i would gladly have the walker's trust reinstated for the time being until we can find someone better (i know the W.T wont have us back) i dont see any light at the end of the tunnel anymore with this mob, it pains me to say it because i really thought we would have some exciting times ahead with owners who could 'put their money where their mouth is' but it seems like another false dawn in blackburn rovers' history, im at the end of my tether with them and especially kean, i want the lot of them gone.

Of all the things you could have asked about the company, and the first thing out your mouth is insults. Says it all I s'pose. G obshite.

yes I'm sure a Venky's employee would use such language on this website after introducing himself.

[roverandout]

ok dingle, go back up't road and count how many finger you have, may i ask how your on here? i thought dingleland didnt have electricity?

[John]

Venky's really need to start treating the club with the respect it deserves - if results continue as they are, they will get a real bashing (verbally) at the next home match they attend.

Taking payments for positively-biased publicity doesn't count as being an employee, Nixon.

+ more than 1

Come the revolution etc

[RovertheHill]

I've not thought that there was ever any rational reason for an Indian chicken company to own Rovers (which makes you wonder what the previous owners thought at the time) but I wonder what this message board would be like if Venky's suddenly sacked Kean and appointed a credible manager instead. Will be interesting to see

I'm an employee (Not in their PR dept). I'm not Nixon (whoever that is).

Well the vote has swung drastically to 'no, I dont support Venky's' since this morning when the Rao's confimrmed their support for Kean.

Well, as statements go it was horrible. Then, just when you think you've hit the bottom, that ba'stard Anderson turns up. Confirmed what I heard last weekend and from The Marple Leaf blog.

They've shown their hand now. No more bullsh1t. Get out of our club.

Having read the quotes from the owners in today's "Telegraph", I want to switch my vote to being "anti" the owners, in terms of meaning that I just wish they'd sell up to an organization which knows more about Premier League football than Venky's seem to.

But the big problem remains. Assuming the current owners want to sell [which isn't clear, by any means], who'd buy us? If they sold us to an organization which knew more about [English] football than the current owners appear to do, hopefully that new organization would realise that the current manager isn't [and probably will never make] a Premier League manager.

[McClarky]

Agree. For me, if Kean stays for another half dozen games then we are down and it doesn't look like they are going to get rid if he is "fantastic". Going to hell in a handcart with us in tow.

Yeah, yeah. Venkys employees have not been renowned for their colloquialisms (Gobshite).

Really not too fussed whether you believe me or not. Just seems a shame considering how on other threads people have been asking what the opinion of the people in India is, so I became a member to give info, and now nobody believes me LOL.

I was sat less than 15ft from 'The Pune 9' at the game today.

Fair enough - but you haven't actually given any info, simply voted you support Venkys (which after today's reports, isn't going to go down too well).

So MG Road, I will bite.

What do people in India think about Venkys/Kean?

[glen9mullan]

Ok after the events of the the last 48 hours compiled with the last 12 months pre/post takeover I have changed my vote to a vote of NO confidence in the owners.

Now they have pulled some real dodgy stunts, but by blind faith I thought they may have learnt their lesson. I thought maybe their inexperience and their "Badly Advised card" held a little water.

But who am I trying to kid?

The evidence is there in black and white and I can't think of one single reason to support them because like the Manager who has nothing on his CV to suggest he can turn things around, Their track record since buying this club has been awful.

They have shown complete disrespect to the fans and have paraded 11 of our own around Pune as their Marketing Tools to try and get the whole world to believe they are wonderful.

I feel sorry for the 11 over there because so far their days have been strategically planned for them to ensure they are kept busy looking at Venkys Indian vision,

What about Blackburn Rovers? This is not all about Venkys Chicken, What are they going to do to stop the rot here?

Its quite obvious they don't care because if they did, they would not be parading around India but they would be here getting their hands dirty and getting us out of this mighty hole they have dug for us.

They can open as many shops as they wish and bud as many Indian footballers than they want, but that is not going to fix the damage they have caused to date at Rovers.

Jerome Anderson in the crowd there just says it all, Yes Steve Kean is equally accountable but for every day that passes and we see no action they become more of the problem.

I hope for their sake that they get on that plane and come here and take part in talks with the fans, because if they don't, they will have got to that point of no return.
