FInally!!!

tim sherwood is the top of the list but i think we need someone like jose mourinho or maybe Alex ferguson. Then again, I have heard a certain harry redknapp loves dodgy owners...

shearer is another name but personally and being realistic i'd like to see someone like mick mccarthy or alan curbishly.

Think the problem Blackburn will have is that i really cannot see any 1st class manager wanting to work for the owners, They seem be a nightmare employers

end of the day - regardless of how bad the owners are - someone will want it - if hearts can get a new manager every 3 months, if mike ashley got pardew and so on and so forth there will be someone decent coming forth.

plus the venkys seem to have some kinda structure in place now with Singh coming in and being the one who does have the power to make decisions.

Just between us, they've been in talks with Tim Sherwood for weeks, it's the reason there was talk of Keane taking another job - the venkys wanted to avoid paying Keane off, which considering what he's been through stink imo.

Quite how Tim Sherwood will fair is anyones guess, the venkys and singh are a joke, complete rank amateurs, i wouldn't trust them to feed my fish and i think that's fairly well known across football now.

I've been talking to someone who was on the coach down and it does seem he was leaned on by third parties to resign.

He asked the coach driver at one point to stop and was on the phone for 20 mins outside and later called a team meeting at the hotel and told them he had resigned and wished them luck.

It does seem to have something to do with the venkys and how they allegedly financed the clubs buyout. Some career ending dirt had been turned up which seemingly forced keans hand.

Going back over a year ago and stories like this...

http://www.guardian.co.uk/football/2011/mar/23/myl...

Just go to show how little Steve Keane was actually involved in the footballing decisions at the club.

IMO he's been a willing stooge for the owners and the cabal of advisors and agents who are taking money out the Venkys, who are little more than rich village idiots. It's a sad story that is going to have a sad ending. Let's juts hope that they can retain enough of the fans goodwill to be there to pick up the club in the aftermath.

kean was allegedly involved in the buyout as the venkys didnt have or didnt want to put up the full amount

there's a high number being bandied around of how much kean made from the buyout personally too.

Fans number one choice is Ian Holloway, quite whether he'd leave a solid, stable, well run and familly owned club and join the mad hatters tea party is another matter.

Now between you and I, and you didn't hear this from me, but the Mail On Sunday have in their possesion a hard drive sourced, apparently, from an ex Rovers "employee". There under legal advice, as everyone is in this particular debacle it seems, but the word on the street is that there is some very interesting conversation between Kentaro/Jerome Anderson and the Venkys.

The FA have been on high alert with regard the depth of some of the involvment of Kentaro/Jerome Anderson in the running of Rovers for some time, but as you'd expect from the blazered sacks of ste they have been sitting on their hands, hopefully soon the lid will be taken off this sham and we can all get a good look at what has been going on.

One thing I do know is that Old Ma Venky has a keen interest in finding the boys who have been bullying her little cherubs.

Shebbi Singh is still a penis btw, this doesn't get him of the hook, but given that the whirly gig Merson is one of Jerome Anderson's klingons his opinion is not to be relied on.

Henning Berg to be Rovers new manager...

Whoppee do.

With these jokers in charge you could put the love child of Jock Stein and Matt Busby in charge, he'd still be dead in the water.


We'll see...
