[Archived] Rovers in trouble with Umbro?

[Pete1981]

Just seen this on Twitter

Trouble Brewing at Rovers. Umbro to issue a writ on BRFC regarding kit bootlegging in India. Person responsible is related to Kean!

[Mike Graham]

Nice to hear some good news like this for a change.

I hope it is true.

Stuff Coco

Stuff VENKYS and all the other knobs involved with ruining our Club

[mr bishi]

Wouldn't imagine its worth bootlegging the jersey

[Stuart]

Whose tweet, Pete?

[Andy]

Kean involved in 'dodgy character/illegal activities' shocker...

[Pete1981]

Whose tweet, Pete?

@BomBom77

I dont know if its true but thats what he wrote

[donnermeat]

Why does this not surprise me.

If Umbro bin us for this then nobody will want to touch us. Nobody reputable anyway.

We will end up printing our own from Fruit of the Loom.

[DE.]

Hasn't there been murmurs about this previously?

[perthblue02]

Yeah was mentioned in the Paul Hunt letter allegedly producing kits for the kids leagues (Academy - HA) in India , can't imagine a link with Kean though, but fingers crossed. Shebby was in charge of overseeing the Kids leagues wasn't he? Could be Team Kean that have brought it up?

[roverandout]

yet more trouble't'mill

[Rover_Shaun]

Everyone quick to believe any old twitter tripe again.

I hate Kean with a passion but at time it is ridiculous what people are ready to believe without evidence

[Baz]

May be true, but I am afraid that given the direct evidence against Kean in video clips and awful management record, a relative making a few quid in India ain't gonna get him sacked.

[Glenn]

Will be interesting to see where the pressure for this came from.

[DanielMB]

Blackburn Rovers 12/13 shirt. 3 for a tenner at Primark.... Wouldnt that be something?

Very likely .

[philipl]

Yes it is in the Paul Hunt letter.

If the tweet is by Bombom, this development is worth keeping tags on.

[thenodrog]

How good would it be if it was a set up? A sting put in place to get his sig on a document in order to nail Kean? To utilise his greed and his ego against him and to sack him at no cost whilst absolving then club from any blame? Please please let this be so!

Might just be why our Global Advisor got the job. Anybody else into conspiracy theories?

[Brfcrule1]

I hope this is true wouldn't it be great if this time he put his foot in it and actually got stung.

The only club where 'fans' want bad things to happen to the club....

I want Kean out as much as anybody, but I dont want things that can hurt our club to happen, some clearly do as they have this bizarre belief that Venkys will leave anytime soon.

Personally, I think they may have to leave!!

Kelbo, like many others and yourself on here, we all keep hearing rumours, some darker than others.

To be honest, I've given up the ghost now and think we are stuck with this lot for goodness know how long.

If the smouldering and smoke hasn't broken into flames after some 21 months, then I don't think it will !

I look at the post in which it states the FA have asked for a list of Directors at the club, thats a telling statement, couple it with the leaked JW and Hunt letters and the resposnsibility of directors as required by law, I think the FA are getting very warm!!

As far as I'm aware, every club has to give the FA a list of Directors at their respective clubs.

[AndyNeil]

Assuming I am right that Paul Agnew and Derek Shaw are Directors, I would be interested to see the list passed to the FA from Rovers as neither Messers Agnew or Shaw are listed as Directors for BLACKBURN ROVERS FOOTBALL AND ATHLETIC P L C

Questions for the next FF meeting are stacking up in my mind...

[perthblue02]

Fernhurst could you also ask did the matchday programme production and PR agency contracts go out to tender? Just asking cause Dan Agnew (Paul's Son) slagging Shebby off on twitter, not very professional behaviour for a contractor of the footiball (sic) club, also who was in charge of overseeing the contract process. cheers
