[Archived] BRFC Action Group Open Floor Meeting with Shebby Singh

[patrickvalery]

Answer the question. Anyone sign a non-disclosure form? anyone announce proceedings were off the record?

If not it's open season

You can't stop a U2 concert from being put out on YouTube these days, under what journalistic law can you declare a public meeting - which it was despite your skewed barrack room-lawyer arguments - as a private and confidential affair

And before you ask I'm a journalist occasionally invited to guest lecture on journalism law

Lecture?!! Doesn't sound like you!

Whats the problem with Glen? I am absolutely staggered at how much he has taken upon himself for the sake of the club and us fans. And all he seems to get for his trouble is grief. It beggars belief!

[Ste B]

Oy. Stop that. You've not seen Dan furnesses latest.

[yoda's brother]

glen, i really dont know why you bother, tell all the know it alls and do nowts who sit on their arses to have a go themselves and see how far the get and how much time and effort they need to put in. and before anyone says, i dont know glen never met him and i am not a member of brag.

[Ossydave]

No but he's blatantly trying to hide from baldness!

[Martin]

I can't believe Rovers have allowed this to happen. This is a PR nightmare.

A circus. An absolute circus.

Well done to the guys who have organised the meeting.

Not sure I agree with all actions and protests that have gone before but I like people that 'do'.

[T.J.Newton]

I personally don't think the full video should be made available(as entertaining as it my be) judging by the over-reaction from people on here regarding the couple of clips that have been released, even the players can see the funny side yet a theirs people around here willing him to be sacked!!!(even though he is the only rovers man in 2 years to give an honest opinion and indicated he wont put up with poor performances from Kean).

[Tom]

Guys cut out the personal insults on Glen

[T4E]

Just need to clear your awful haircut situation up now.

[Ossydave]

It's a bit of banter don't be so touchy.

Seems like he is just making sure his own back is covered. Fair play...why should he rush things out just to please other people? It will be available soon.

Why not just have some patience? It's him making it available for us, after all.

[Kelbo]

Guys cut out the personal insults on Glen

Yes please do, in fact, personal insults full stop are unacceptable to me!!

[PAFELL]

I do not see how asking a few questions is giving him grief.

Guys cut out the personal insults on Glen

You lost me now. What insults?

[John]

It is not just a few questions, it is constant irrelevant questions on everything that happens.

Why isn't this happening? But why etc?? Come on, surely you can tell us now? Sure you are not hiding something???

So petty and it is the same people doing the asking again and again.

To be honest I was just wondering why sky were able to show things. yet those who set it all up were not able to do so. Was not implying any agenda, hiding things etc. i was asking out of personal interest.

[Fife Rover]

trouble is, is it the first 3 games only ?. also if not he could lose 2 draw 1 all season and not get sacked.

I really don't get the thinking being used by Shebby here. I would say that a much more reallistic way of judging whether or not we are serious contenders for promotion this season would be to look at our position in the table after the first six games, and if we are not in the top six at this point then it is time for alarm bells to be ringing already as the likely promotion contenders will already be showing and somewhere around that mark at that time. So this is the time to judge Kean and his chances of making us at least play-off contenders.

[thenodrog]

All you had to do was hold your hand up and Gary would have given you the microphone

I did a couple of times and didn't get it Mike.

1. I wanted to ask how he can possibly claim that Jerome Anderson has no connection or influence at Ewood whilst he is still the manager's agent.

2. Re: his open condemnation of MGP that his legs had gone and that after supposedly watching last season he claims that MGP and Dunn cannot play together in midfield and that Steve Kean is starting with a virtually clean sheet. I wanted to point out that Dunny has not been able to manage 90 mins for years, that we have signed older players than MGP on big money this summer and that it's Kean that instructed them to play in midfield.

3. Why we are busy signing players that may not be required by a new manager come Sept.

I might be wrong but imo we are still being subjected to massive amounts of bullsh1t. All I can say to the confidence in Singh shown by some is that actions will always speak louder than words.

btw Best comedic moment was the room erupting in laughter after the lad who said to Singh "I'm a liar, a suck up, I know nothing about football and I'm part Scottish..... can I have a job?" And quick as a flash Singh replied "I'm sorry that position is already filled".

[thenonda]

Glen put on twitter yesterday the target is 17 point from 7 games. Anything less and kean is gone.

Yes it was well funny that bit, he did say that he thouight Anderson did not like him anymore because we did not like Andersons latest offerings of players

[Ossydave]

Did he say who the players were? Presumably unknowns?

[bob fleming]

Really!? So two defeats or one defeat and a draw from the first 7 games and Kean is history then?

I'll believe it when I see it. Judging on the pre-season results and "winning streaks" put together over the last 20 months of Kean's reign I'd suggest the odds are somewhat against him.

[RoyRover]

As satisfying as it was to hear Shebby say that Kean would be canned if he lost three games on the bounce, actions speak louder than words. It also goes to show what a complete circus our club is that you can have a seemingly high rank official say that the manager will be sacked if he loses three games. I want Kean sacked as much as anyone, I wanted him sacked yesterday, so it may seem off that I'm not questioning the fact that it has been publicly stated that the manager is under major pressure to perform. And to publicly attack a long serving player was also shocking to hear. On the one hand it's a relief to think that Kean could finally be gone when the results fail to materialise and on the other, it's deeply worrying to hear this sort of thing declared so publicly.

[yoda]

No, he did not elaborate as to who they were, it brought a cheer from the audience though

Bit harsh mate

To be honest I was just wondering why sky were able to show things. yet those who set it all up were not able to do so. Was not implying any agenda, hiding things etc. i was asking out of personal interest.

The reason is probably that sky have a big legal department in place and know what and not to place in the public domain, when our guys dont and couldn't afford any legal comebacks if they happened, whereas sky wouldn't be worried about that sort of thing.

[Andy]

Just seen that Shearer link and to be honest, if Big Al came back I wouldn't just buy a season ticket, I'd buy one for 5 of my mates and them all a shirt with '9 SHEARER' on the back.

I do like Shebby's way of thinking, even if there's a current lack of action at the moment.

Sack Kean, replace him with Big Al and get in Jordan Rhodes to bang some goals in

[Athlete]

unfortunately I have a funny feeling coco will last longer than shebby who seems just as big a clown...you couldn't write this script the club is a complete circus

Even if Kean does get the bullett who would work under this regime of inept fools...we'd probably end up with shebby as manager and we'd be a bigger joke than we already are
