[Archived] JA's Sky Sports interview

[den]

Maybe this has been posted elsewhere, but a fabulous piece from Mike Ferguson. He calls on Kean and the Raos to sack Anderson:

[Kelbo]

Whoooosh!

I don't even think they noticed him. However they saw him play for the Aberdeen reserves on occasion and said he was shyte and not good enough for the SPL

I have mentioned previously that reserve team football in Scotland is not disimilar to Academy football, its where they blood young players, so indeed, Myles really came from Academy football!!

See below!

From its formation in 1998, the Scottish Premier League ran an Under-21 league but this was dropped in favour of a reserve league in 2005. The reserve leagues were finally abolished by both the SPL and the Scottish League in 2007 when both bodies promoted under-21 leagues instead.

Please run it through a spell and English check before you publish it. For instance use 'smear' instead of 'smeer'and say 'rather than publicly' instead of 'than publically'.

Not trying to knock you but it is better to get it checked before publishing.

Also add to that "ulteria" in place of "alteria".

[Rover_Shaun]

But....but.....he made 'that' tackle !!!!!

It has here

Ricky, on 13 January 2012 - 15:36 PM, said:You didn't say it was a draft glen, you said at the top that you'd issued it to the press.

If a report lands on my desk with typos and punctuation errors it promptly gets returned.

Calm down,

these are from the LT and there are typos!

the typos don't degrade the point that is being made.

Just regurgitating the stuff he spouted in the Sky interview. Great piece, Jerome! Not..

I especially liked this bit:

During the past few days, I have been privileged to have spoken directly with many Blackburn Rovers fans, who have totally understood, appreciated & respected any work that I have been involved with at the club & I would like to thank them personally for their ongoing support & I naturally wish Blackburn Rovers FC, its players, its Manager & its fans every success for the future.

Probably the same fans Steve Kean talks to, who tell him what a great manager he is and how they are fully behind what Kean is trying "to achieve". In other words, these fans do not exist.

[Al]

Also add to that "ulteria" in place of "alteria".

Do you mean 'ulterior'?

He's been speaking to some from Footymad on the phone, it's true.

Interesting, wonder if any of the following companies received money from Blackburn Rovers, as it seems on face value that Himself or SEM did not.

BANARAM LIMITED

SPORTS HOLDINGS LIMITED

THE MAMJAM TECHNOLOGY PLATFORM PARTNERSHIP LLP

THE CASEDIRECTOR TECHNOLOGY PARTNERSHIP LLP

JEROME ANDERSON MANAGEMENT LIMITED

TEMPLAR SPORT LIMITED

It does seem that Mr Anderson is open to discussion on the subject of BRFC, could be a good chance for BRFCS to interview him?

Cleverly worded as it doesnt say he didnt recieve consultancy fees for advisory stuff, just that he didnt take any for the transfers

[67splitscreen]

Did Nicko not state on several occasions that Hubber at Kentaro was the main man for Venkys.

Maybe the monies were washed through Kentaro A/C after all are they not a partnership or similar, all allegedly of course.

[OJRovers]

"John (Williams) decided he couldn't accept Jerome's role within the club"

Mrs Desai, Dec 10

JA innocent in all this? I don't think so.

[perthblue02]

possibly, but just read the thread on the "other" forum , there are now two or three who are posting that they have spoken to him, don't know them that's why I said if somebody from BRFCS could interview him, somebody who knows about some of the stuff that's gone on, to somehow prove it is actually MrA on the phone it could clear the air a bit.

Going back to the thread on the other forum apparently the "dark forces" comment was aimed at Barclays and not Rovers supporters. Don't know if its ok to post the link to the thread at the other place

[KyleBRFC]

Sorry if this has already been posted but posted on Roversmad, apparently someone has spoken to JA over the phone and this is what he's said..

After texting the number that has been doing the rounds, i received a text back asking if i was willing to have an open and honest discussion with him, so i replied 'yes'. 2 minutes later the phone rang...

I took notes on what he said. Some of it is reiterating what he said in his interview...

1 - Venkys 100% own the club, he and Kean have no financial involvement at all as this is illegal.

2 - After years of unable to sell, the Walkers appointed him to scour the globe for buyers after his success in finding buyers for other clubs. Venkys showed an interest, delivered on everything the trustees wanted, passed the fit and proper persons test and ultimately bought the club.

3 - He got a call at the end of January to help with transfers. He met with players, advisors etc to sell the clubs vision to them.

4 - No involvement in the club now but considers himself a fan ( talked about the last few games, goals etc and how they could have been avoided - maybe he should be manager!)

5 - Venkys listened to the wrong people when sacking Sam (basically following the ones who said he was killing the game with his tactics).

6 - Agreed Kean isn't the right man despite him being his client. Said he was one of the most genuine people he knows and only wants the best for the club though.

7 - Misinterpreted about questioning the protests. Understands why we are protesting but we should be trying to make Ewood a fortress again, as other mangers see it as 'get a goal and we're in cos the fans will turn again. Players are playing with fear at home.

8 - Barclays have suspicions about Venkys so pulled the plug on the overdraft. Took the Jones money. Essentially we have no debt at all but very hard to make signings as we need to go through Barclays. He says Venkys are rich, do have money but it is tied up and they are working on releasing a substantial amount of funds. Once assurances are made to Barclays of this, we will be able to make cash signings. At the moment, the only avenue we can explore is loans or getting a sensible offer for Samba and re-investing in 2 or 3 players.

9 - He actually flew to India last month on another business matter and spoke to Venkys, explaining that communication is key with football fans. Be honest with them and you may gain some credibility back.

10 - Fully believes that we won't be relegated. Believes it will be the lowest points total ever to stay up. We have to take advantage of this weekends fixtures and get 3 points.

All in all, he was very honest and answered every question i asked. I still think we are doomed but i still have some hope.

[OJRovers]

If he's had nothing to do with the club since Jan-11 how does he know that the bank took the Jones money in Jun-11, plus Jenson's appointment and Keans new contract since then.

Also if Kean really wanted what was best for the club he would stand down.

[den]

Not one person at the club has distanced themselves from his comments.

Where are the owners? Speak out you bunch of cowards. Do you accept what he says, or not?

[bob fleming]

"6 - Agreed Kean isn't the right man despite him being his client. Said he was one of the most genuine people he knows and only wants the best for the club though."

Wow.

Mr Anderson, if you really want to set the record straight / distance yourself from the sorry mess that is BRFC then get yourself back on Sky Sports News and tell them this. You can also clarify / retract what you said about Rovers fans while you're at it.

Because ultimately every man and his dog, deep down, no matter their allegiances, knows that your client is totally out of his depth and should not be manager of BRFC.

The problem I have is that Venkys haven't a clue what day it is when it comes to football (clearly) so who's advising them to keep him on (and send us down) if not his Agent? The Glasgow Mafia?

Isnt one of them managing the team tomorrow den ?

[den]

Yes, but I expect nothing from him.

[John]

Aside from Kean, has he been asked about John Jensen's appointment and the contract extension of Nick Blackman?

LT

Get in !

I am particularly pleased because he is my all time favourite player. It is not often that hero worship manages to survive hearing the object of adoration open his mouth - but this is brilliant. Fergie, you are an absolute legend !

As a teenaged lad in the mid-sixties I joined the others gathered behind the nets who claimed that "The Darwen End is better than the Kop" to pay homage. Flamboyantly skilful though not the most disciplined of players, Fergie was my hero.

FERGIE FOR ENGLAND !

[Rovermatt]

Calm down,

these are from the LT and there are typos!

the typos don't degrade the point that is being made.

Of course they degrade it. If a person issuing a statement damning the actions of somebody else can't even be bothered to check their own work, why would you take what they have to say seriously? Serious statements should be written in a serious manner.

A very good player and a great character. What would he be worth today ?

I remember the time he stuck one on an opponent at Ewood and got sent off ! Think it was Coventry but 40 odd years ago !
