[Archived] A new idea to get the venkys to listen

[AndyC]

Hi,

If the venkys won't listen to us, there is another way.

Media is very cheap to buy in India.

We could buy a page ad in the India times, with an open letter asking for answers.

If everyone who voted sack kean on the poll gave 5 pounds, we would probably have enough!!!

The pr that would generate in India would be enough to get their attention

[Stuart]

Given the way the Pune media appear to have twisted things, what starts out as "We are very worried about the mismanagement of our club" would end up as "Steve Kean is a wonderful manager"!

This is either the craziest or best idea I've seen bar a major fan protest at Ewood

[martonrover]

They said Brilliant not wonderful there is a difference:

Wonderful: Arousing awe or admiration, Far superior to anything formerly recognized or foreseen.

Brilliant: unusual and impressive intellectual acuteness, surpassing excellence "a brilliant performance"

Kean is certainly not wonderful.

Im in. Anything to get the clown sacked.

How many is 5 pounds in euro's :/

To be honest, I think the majority of these ideas are clutching at straws. No offence intended, because I know it's the owners who have put us in this desperate situation. If they don't know how we feel by now, I don't reckon they ever will. Second bottom in the table, fans protesting outside the ground, locals making 'KEAN OUT' banners. What more do they need? Also, if there are people working behind the scenes to keep Kean in a job, then it matters not, because everything will just be misconstrued like it has been so far.

Boycotting the club is the only way Venky's will sit up and listen.

[chris]

I'd give £5 but I'd rather get a 15 ft Kean out banner that would be stunning

[Wendal]

This is a phenomenal idea, count me in

It was a play on words Christopher. Difficult to mistake worried for brilliant.

By the way, Steve Kean is not brilliant either. Not in any sense of the word. Even if the sun was reflected directly off his bald scalp, it would not be described as brilliant.

Good idea but I think we'd struggle to get a prominent paper to run it. Venkys spend big money on advertising in india, few papers would want to risk losing future revenue from this for the one off modest fee we would be offering.

Even if a paper agree to run it the risk would be that venkys would hear about it and offer more money to drop the add.

Deluded: to mislead the mind or judgment of; to deceive, to evade, to elude.

Another way to get some notice (in the media really but it should spread to the owmers)is to put Kean out posters etc around the town. In house/shop windows every vantage point possible. In particular near the stadium and leave them there until the worm is gone.

Its a battle of wills at the moment.

The owners will kep backing kean and being positive trying to force the fans in to accepting their faith.

As long as we show we are serious and keep it going they will have to act (at some point).

Granted the my idea my seem extreme but the time for extremes is very close.

[Tyrone Shoelaces]

I remember reading a story about a group of mill workers going on strike in India. Apparently they chased the manager up a tree and wouldn't let him come down until he agreed to their terms.By all accounts this was a common tactic in India. Do you think the Pune 9 would be up for that ?

Yes indeed

[T4E]

This is a great idea, would really be something different and would attract a lot of attention. Is it happening?

[roversnick]

i'd be up for putting a fiver in for this

[AndyC]

just waiting to see the outcome of the FF trip, before I look into this a little more!
