[Archived] BRFC Action Group

[glen9mullan]

Bad couple of days for Brag if Andy Cryers tweet is correct:

@CryerRovers: Anyone from the action group cd you turn around and pick up the three lads you have left high and dry at molineux?

They're still stranded.

How can it be a bad a couple of days?

We are football supporters, and are equal to any other supporter. Our pains are just the same as anyone else's

Abuse comes with the territory and membership sign ups have been good this week.

As a group and a committee we have strong unity and its just been another week in the life of Blackburn Rovers under Venkys

Regarding the passengers who have been left. Once the coach was loaded it waited half an hour before the Police insisted that it had to set off home. The Police also waited around for the passengers as they was going to bring them home.

Sadly no-one knew the passengers or indeed their plans for the evening, so its out of the groups control if they dnt return to the coach 45 minutes after the game finishes.

Well whatever anyone thinks of the new manager, here are two reasons to celebrate. Time to wrap it up chaps. Goodbye and good riddance.

I like post like this as it gives me even more motivation to carry on, and spurs the committee and group on.

The members decide who represents them, whilst the members will also decide future representatives and the groups direction.

The group is not only standing strong but is growing and will continue to do.

Did you see the Blue tea pot at Ewood ?

Not the first or last time somebody hasnt made a coach home. Its not a big deal.

Now about about my question? How would be better off.........etc?

Once a teacher, always a teacher!

The coaches held back for about fifteen/twenty minutes after everyone else got back on them until eventually West Midlands Police insisted we all left

If Glen does resign, I hope the BRFC Action Group appoint an experienced leader, or else the BRFCAG Action Group will be forced into issuing a press statement in protest.

[Mike Graham]

It's big of people to continue to ridicule BRAG, but without the protest we may have been stuck with Kean.

It has become skewed of late. Politics is a cut throat game.

I thank BRAG for their effort thus far. Its time now to evalulate, observe and be ready for the next chapter.

One thing is certain - BRFC is in dangerous waters.

+100

+100

-100 sonny.

I don't think BRAG had that much influence on his decision.

Exactly.

BRAG has made mistakes, but they're trying to make a difference, which is more than can be said for the 10 or so serial moaners on here who do absolutely nothing to try and bring about change.

If I was a BRAG member I’d not be defending the group on here, because we have a number of people who never leave their bedrooms in the hope they’ll discredit the group with sheer volume of posts, give it up BRAG, leave them to it, the membership numbers will speak for themselves surely.

BRAG was instrumental in getting rid of king rat as Ewoodbhappy mentions above and for that I'll be forever greatful.

I don't think BRAG had that much influence on his decision.

He was about to be sacked, so jumped ship, the reason, pressure from BRAG and fans voting with their feet, no doubt about that in my mind.

That's your opinion.

I think it was more to do with Shabby.

Hence the subsequent love in between BRAG and Shabby.

[Stuart]

Did Brag get rid of Kean? He quit as far as I recall.

So it wasn't the protests, it wasn't the action group and it wasn't Singh.

Really odd time for a fit of conscience wouldn't you say? He certainly had other opportunities and yet carried on defiantly.

His job was made impossible by shebby singh. Hence why rovers had to pay out.

Based upon the relationship that we keep being told exists between Singh and BRAG, to claim it wasn't anything to do with BRAG seems silly to me. BRAG worked hard outisde of the protests to bring light to the situation, and Singh was the 'vehicle' for that process.

Doesn't really matter, we needed rid of that rat or I'd of ended up doing time!

[Ricky]

Surely if it was down to the protests he would have gone last season. There weren't any protests this season when he actually ended up going.

Shebby takes the credit for getting rid of him. It's the only good thing he's done since he's been here!

If the action group had any influence on Shebby making that decision then fair play to them.

I believe BRAG turned its attentions to Singh in the hope of getting rid if that idiot, and it worked, but thats only my opinion.

He resigned. So it can be said the one who made that choice, was kean himsself. Looks like shebby played a role in forcing Kean to resign, hence the payout Kean received. I would be curious to know what the payout would have been if they had sacked him, compared to what he did receive for constructive dismissal

[den]

It's because of the protests and fans walking away that Singh was brought into the club Ricky. Same as Gav on this one, Kean was undoubtedly under tremendous pressure when he quit.

[BangkokRover]

I actually feel sorry for the amount of abuse Kean took at games. BUT the blame for that lys with Venkys for not removing him when we stayed up after his first 1/2 season in charge. How they thought staying up by 4 points was an improvement on finishing in tenth with 20 points difference between us and relegation spot and Keans 15th place an only 4 points above the relegations spots I have no clue.

Once Kean was gone BRAG lost their direction they had no figure of hate to attack. Now they do seem very chummy with Shebby and the PR the other day does nothing but in force the look they are controlled by Shebby.

Hopefully GlenM will tell us more why BRAG appear to be in bed with Shebby. If Shebby gets credit for Kean leaving he must also take the credit for hiring Berg which was a total farce A] in how the the appointment took and B] who they actually appointed in the end.

He got wind he was going to be sacked, so was advised to resign for maximum payout in my opinion. He's a rat of the highest order and I wish nothing but bad things to happen to him for the foreseeable future.

You've been reading to many papers, he got hardly any abuse compared to other managers I can think of, and their only crime was they couldn't get results anymore.

[Ossydave]

I think even Singh could see we needed to get shut of Kean, to claim it was down to BRAG is nonsense

No arguments there Gav.

Any word from the Qataris yet?

[ABBEY]

Bangkok ... He didnt receive anywhere near enough abuse . If he had we may just may have stayed up.

Ricky... Has someone from brag banged your peg or what ?

[Ricky]

Abbey. I've just said credit to them if they did have an influence on Singh getting rid of Kean!!!!

It was my last flipping post so surely you can't miss it that easily.

[Ewoodbhappy]

The original slogan was.

100% Rovers

0% Kean

0% Venkys

For me that still stands. After Kean was gone pressure on Venkys to run the club in a fit and proper manor should have been the focus.

That should still be the case.
