[Archived] A question

[Kendalrover]

The problem is any sensible owner of a football club would have sacked Kean months ago solving the problem.

With Venkys inaction just leaving Kean out to dry the problem is festering and deteriorating rapidly.

There is no other way for fans to communicate their feelings to the club other than mass protests. This is due to Hunt and Agnew deliberately alienating and isolating fans and trying to set fans against one another.

Leaving Kean in charge is like showing a red rag to bull.

If he is still in charge for the Stoke game I hate to think what the atmosphere at the ground will be like.

[roverandout]

bolton fan, you havent a clue whats going on at our club, your input is welcomed, nice to hear from views of other club's supporters but your ignorance to whats going on at ewood is frustrating the members on here, have a read of these boards to see whats been happening at rovers the last 12 months then you will change your views

[Amo]

They need to ask themselves a few questions.

BRFC has a long proud history, founder members and winners of both the Football League and the Premier League. Supporters are largely from Blackburn and the surrounding area. There has never been a situation in all those 130 odd years where the supporters have protested in this manner. So what is the difference this time and why rush to condemn 20000 people for the sake of one? The sheer weight of protest must suggest to even the thickest media man that there must be more to it than what they are seeing and taking at face face value. Once they grasp that then they may also grasp the amount of lying, backstabbing and humiliation that the fans have been subjected to since the new owners turned up.

Remember most of those stupid media gits condemned us as racists for firing the first British Black manager despite the fact that we hired the pillock in the first place! We were right then and we are right now. My only gripe is why it takes the BRFC faithful so long to suss such obvious duds out for what they are.

Spot on, Drog.

You should circulate this post around the tabloid sites and see if people can actually get the hint. I fear it would be a wasted effort, though.

I'm not saying we shouldn't boo (though I personally will not) or protest, but wouldn't it be better to boo after we lost the game rather than begin booing the moment the opponent scores?

We got behind the team and manager...things got worse.

We didn't boo or protest....things got worse.

We protested before and after games...things got worse.

We protested during games...things are getting worse.

What do you suggest???

[Wing Wizard Windy Miller]

I'm a Bolton fan and, rather than coming on your board sounding off about who's crapper than who. And let's face it, with some better finishing by both teams, the score could have been very different for both teams.

I was wondering, on my way home from the game last night, whether your supporter's tactics of booing and jeering every move of Steve Kean.

At Bolton we recently suffered a management spell from Mr gary Megson. He was hated before he'd even arrived. Once results started drying up, he was subjected to the most venemous booing I'd heard (Until last night! )

Anyway, eventually, we, the supporters, hounded him out of the club. He eventually got a job at wednesday, where he's learned to be at peace with the supporters. He is, after all, a former Wednesday player.

Why not try ignoring the management. Keep silent in your condemnation of your venky folk. Support YOUR TEAM, they might just start to play with a bit more self belief. (Except it's unfortunate that your next two games are probably already written off as lost causes!)

Try it.

Not getting your point.

Kean is our Megson. You booed him and finally got rid- do you regret it?

[Stuart]

Ah but you misunderstand. Our Bolton friend isn't a hypocrite. So there is bound to be a good explanation as to why our situation is different.

[SIMON GARNERS 194]

Adult discussion on Wanderersways?...you must be joking pal!

Quite strange how most of your fans on there were hoping we would give you a stuffing so you could sack 'Judas'.

You won the game so you are entitled to your little gloat but you have more front that Blackpool promenade coming on here and giving it the big one about protests.

[bob fleming]

I personally think he's a nice guy.

Bull!!

But aside from that MickyD, the fact he signed his Agents son (released by Leyton Orient), a chap called Ribiero, who are both crap, but he likened them to Chris Smalling and Dennis Irwin respectively, the fact he got shut of John Jensen and claimed to know nothing about it (despite apparently showing his successor around Ewood a few days beforehand), the fact any other Premier League club wouldn't have appointed him in a million years unless he happened to be on the books of their "special" advisor (why didn't you google your advisor you chicken obsessed halfwits?!?), the fact he dispensed with experienced PL old heads such as Diouf, Emerton and now Salgado (just 9 more games to hit that clause? When's that March?) who could steady the ship, the fact he's deluded and divisive (gave the fans the big one when the team equalised in the last minute and ushered the players off the pitch before they could acknowledge the fans) never tells it like it is, is tactically useless, painfully pitifully positive... I could go on, but...

The fact of the matter is that it's a results business and they are quite frankly abysmal and we're shipping goals for fun. He should have gone at the end of last season.

I have it on good authority that he is in fact a c^^t.

Hitler always looked a nice chap on his Thursday pressers as well...

[Rover_Shaun]

Someone earlier mentioned Roberts.

I almost threw my new DAB radio onto the kitchen floor when I heard him on Radio 5. He too has burnt all his bridges.

[OhmiBRFC]

And here's me thinking that we were having a nice grown up discussion about the problems at Rovers. Then along comes Mr Amoeba.

Our two clubs are currently running in a similar fashion. The difference being that our saviour, Eddie Davies; millionaire businessman, is happy financing his favourite team. Yours, on the other hand, it seems, are far from saviours of any kind. In fact something really does whiff a little bit of, "Oh ######, how did we find ourselves up to our necks in this mess?"

We carry on supporting our fairly inept manager during the game, you boo the first sight of him and don't stop until he's gone home.

You're welcome to come along to the board I frequent to have an adult discussion. Everything from how we should have beaten your team by about 4 or 5 goals to Your favourite way to kill an elephant.

My favourite way up to now is to dress it in burnley colours and let it die of embarassment.

Anyhow OhmiBRFC, crawl back under your stone.

opps, edit = Forgot to add URL for the board I use. www.wanderersways.com

I'm sick of reading about how we shouldn't boo etc. On other forums and Twitter. From so called pundits and how we are a disgrace blah, blah, blah.

We know the issues far better than everyone else and you come on here giving yourself a great pat on the back because you don't boo your manager and you have better owners. Bully for you.

I don't care what's going on at Bolton or any other team. My focus is on the club I love dearly and I wish more than anything all the issues are resolved swiftly and efficiently. Although I doubt either of them are going to happen soon.

Maybe I will sign up and talk about the best way to kill an elephant. Sounds gripping. It really does. Probably best to stay away from a forum full of fans who try and mimic us though by using our insults to Burnley against us because it would be rather tiresome. Suppose I could indulge in some talk about killing elephants to inject joy in to the monotony though.

My stone? I'm a more frequent poster than you. So you be so kind to crawl under yours. And take your elephant with you.

[ABBEY]

Elephant truck is used by Bolton women instead of a rampant rabbit!!

[Mr. E]

This would make sense if there was a team to support. There isn't. Real men who cared about the club would not participate in greasy chicken-eating commercials before going out to humiliate the club week in and week out all season. They are all a bunch of mercenaries with loyalties to no one. Why should we support them?

The protests are a sign that we want things to change. Not just results, but the entire way the club is run. We were once a model of a traditional, properly run football club that was the envy of others with much, much greater resources. Now we're barely even a joke.

From Venkys to Kean to the current players, massive changes need to be made.

[Black Burn]

All right, let's assume he's an asshole then...

It doesn't matter, I'm not going to boo him or anything. I'll cheer the team on, regardless of who the manager is.

Any news on Hughes? I heard horrible news that he's set to reject the offer from Venkys.

[Mattyblue]

'those in the game' will always protect their own- look at Suarez.

I have read a lot of comments under articles on the newspaper websites, yeah there's a fair bit of 'disgraceful, poor Kean'

But also a lot of 'fair play to the fans, they've been shafted'.

[Guest Rovers4Good]

We have always got behind the team and will continue to do so. We don't want Kean at our club and the silence and lack of actions by the owners as the got the fans calling for their heads and it's all down to them.

The are making a circus out of Blackburn and i for one don't care what anyone thinks of our actions as long as Kean is gone by the new year as he has lost the fans a long time ago and from the other night he's also lost quite a few of the players which he might get the players back onside but he'll never get the fans back

Every league manager can't be wrong though. Every radio pundit, every TV pundit. You're all deluded if you think your actions are going to do anything except give your board the resolve to dig their heels in a bit deeper.

No one really cares what u think. Your just a trotter on wum, now toddle off back to wankyways an tell them how big and hard you are coming over here like u did before

What board ? As far I know it doesn't exist. Did you see any directors sat in their seats on Monday ?

They're never going to sack Kean on merit. Don't you think he would have gone by now? Instead, he was given a new contract. For some twisted reason, this ownership reward abject failure. I'd say the fans have been incredibly tolerant under the circumstances.

I'm a Bolton fan and, rather than coming on your board sounding off about who's crapper than who. And let's face it, with some better finishing by both teams, the score could have been very different for both teams.

Anyway, eventually, we, the supporters, hounded him out of the club. He eventually got a job at wednesday, where he's learned to be at peace with the supporters. He is, after all, a former Wednesday player.

Which links us to Owen Coyle. Arguably a worse Premier League record than Steve Kean before last night. But our supporters last night, from the off, chanted his name and really got behind the wanderers while you lot carried on with your hate and vitriol toward your manager and board. Owen, as an ex-Bolton player, gets a bit more faith from the fans in public than he really ought to. Oh, we have our own message boards where we all think he's above his comfort zone and leading us to a quick trip to the Championship but, the public face of it is nothing but support. This, as we saw last night, rubs off on the players.

Your surround sound from the other three sides of the ground, and I wished we'd have been as vocal earlier in Megson's charge, was great . . . for Bolton. Your players must wonder themselves who they're actually playing for. The supporters pay their wages and are therefore allowed to moan. That moaning creeps into their play by making them uncomfortable on the ball and scared shitless of making a mistake.

Why not try ignoring the management. Keep silent in your condemnation of your venky folk. Support YOUR TEAM, they might just start to play with a bit more self belief. (Except it's unfortunate that your next two games are probably already written off as lost causes!)

Try it.

Wum off. We were gash when we did support the team and guess what... Nothing has changed.

You've not had to deal with mugs for owners and an idiot for manager at the same time, so you're not qualified to comment.
