[Archived] Mrs Desai is a Joke

[philipl]

All Rovers supporters have regarded Mrs D as a less than serious figure since she first turned up as the power before the brothers confidently telling us she knows nothing about football.

Well we now also know she knows even less about management.

However, my serious point is that a public figure is truly deeply in the mire when the press start treating them as a joke:

.@sportingintel I always remember Venky's mission statement: "To make India No 1 in poultry map of the world." Not much to do with football

[SouthAussieRover]

She must be most welcome in the higher echelons of Indian society.

You're one class act Mrs Desai.

[True Blue & White]

Mrs D is like the Indian Sarah Palin

Management principles at a farm in the 3rd world dont really apply in the 1st world. I live in the 3rd world so I know this first hand.

Too little, too late i'm afraid. It would appear the tide is turning but it bears little relevance to the club any more, we're now as a club the media's plaything, will be interesting for a couple of weeks then all attention will turn to the Euro's.

The most frustrating part is that anyone with more than a couple of brain cells could see where this was all going, personally I put two and two together a long time ago and did what I could despite living 200 miles away. Unfortunately Mr Kean had the media eating out of his hands all season and the general public were too naive to believe he could be anything other than the victim.

People forget we were a stable mid table club for many years, almost like one of the forgotten PL teams. Venkys and their associates just made us more interesting, all these despicable fans getting upset over what? Relegation? Well rovers were never a good side, right?

Such is the way of the PL. A lot of non Rovers fans i've spoken to thought we were constant strugglers and it was only a matter of time.

Enjoy the spotlight while it lasts, and hopefully the likes of Kamy can get more stuff confirmed and put it in the public domain. Because very soon, the media will not care one jot, and then it will be too late.

I think the sacking of a guy who was merely warning them, is going to really turn the media against them.

Keeping Steve Kean in charge is seen as mere idiocy. Sacking someone for doing his job is vile.

[BRFCfor83]

I feel we should stop calling her Mrs Desai, I call people by there title and name when I have respect for them, from now on I'd rather her be know only as an obscenity or such like. Maybe the sow or witch.

[Bobby G]

I call her Desai publicly now. What's the point of a prefix set for respect, which has to be earnt in the first place?

[Burrells Boy]

We need to keep putting the pressure on, the rupee must be dropping in Pune, with hopefully more revelations coming into the public domain, more negative press, just what a business planning to expand to the UK needs! Hopefully commercial forces will overcome the sense of loyaly to CoCo and they can find a way to sell and find a way out with what dignity they have left.

+ 200,000

The woman doesnt deserve respect, in fact she clearly should be certified insane, If Kean stays after this, then I firmly will believe that there is some kind of corruption within the club which mustnt get out to the public domain, hence, no one at Ewood can make decisions or access certain areas of information/finances!!

Lets face it, in my opinion, I can believe that one member of the family with a colourful past, could be the centre of this!!

[lukey]

can someone quickly explain why the decision making is ultimately up to Andurah or whatever her name is? I thought it was four of them?

sadly agree

[sharpysharps]

With the news of Hunt getting the boot today, I wasn't his biggest fan but atleast this has proven hat the email / letter was genuine, and he had the best interests of the club in mind, even if he does ask for more money in the first paragraph

The thing that I don't understand the most is that the Indian media seem to have turned on them now and yet they still don't seem to understand that sacking Kean is the way forward and has been since he first wormed his way into the job.

Dunce-I for me.

I know...still working on it...

[lukey]

I'd like someone in the club to come out and say something. ABSOLUTELY NOTHING has been said from the club recently aside from Kean, which is all bullshit anyway. Not ONE whimper has been heard from Venkys. PLEASE come and say something to us. Surely you can try to justify your actions or intentions somehow? maybe? Leaving us all in the dark is just worse for you.

Anus Desaster I call her.

#brfc Disgraceful sacking of Hunt. On 22 Dec he indicated 2 me the problem at Rovers was the close relationship between Mrs Desai & Mrs Kean

Seems Desai is more loyal to Kean's Mrs than Coco is......

I mentioned this a few times previously and it is true.

Mrs D is like the Indian Sarah Palin

That's unfair to Sarah Palin. She was actually a competent governor, though not so much as a vice-presidential candidate.

It would be hard to find a political equivalent to D's demonstrated incompetence.

[AllRoverAsia]

If you went to the worst whorehouse Mrs Desai would be the Big Fat Slag doing the Mamasan bit.

[Ferrit]

I can think of many other 4 letter words I would use to describe this wench.

Plus Sarah Palin would totally get it.

[broadsword]

“We want good football and Blackburn to be fourth or fifth in the league or even better,” said Mrs Desai. “The fans should trust us because this is in the best interests of the club.”
