Oozehead to Ewood

Oozhead to Ewood

“I think one of the finest things this season in spite of various problems we have had is the way the football family and community have come together” Gordon Taylor, CE of PFA

Were would we be without the football family. In truth there would be less trends, re-tweets and likes on Facebook. The tragedies and stories are forgotten about as soon as something else big happens like Harry Styles having a can of coke.

The football family also were shocked and disgusted when the revelation of Portsmouth and Rangers were revealed. Probably a bit late finding their moral compass when there is debts of over £120 million and p45’s are been printed.

For some reason the football family haven’t had such a warm heart towards the fans of Blackburn Rovers. Instead it has been eighteen months of criticism of the fans, the sorrow for poor Steve Kean, and most recently that Rovers fans are eating there words and Steve Kean should be a nominee for manager of the year after the win against Sunderland at Ewood in early April.

I will hold my hands up and condemn the Rovers fans if the football family can answer or shed any light on some of our grievances.

• ·      The sacking of Sam Allardyce and his assistant Neil Mc Donald when comfortable in mid table.
• ·      The promise of an experience manager will be appointed.
• ·      Appointment of a first team coach with no experience.
• ·      The role of SEM/Kentaro
• ·      Appointment of John Jensen who had no prior relationship with Steve Kean, guess who he is a client of.
• ·      New contract for Nick Blackman while on loan at Aberdeen last January, guess who he is a client of.
• ·      Obscene payments to agents.
• ·      Signing of the new Chris Smalling, son and client of guess who.
• ·      Signing of Bruno “Denis Irwin” Riberio
• ·      David “A Wayne Rooney type” Goodwillie
• ·      Repeatedly told Junior Howliett set to sign a new contract.
• ·      New terms for Steve Kean.
• ·      Removal of the clubs infrastructure and no experienced replacements.
• ·      The freezing out of Michel Salgado, Jason Roberts, Simon Vukcvic, Ruben Rochina and now Gael Givet.
• ·      The Ryan Nelson nonsense.

Take into account that this is not even considering finances, investment, and the sale of assets. Surely the football family can understand Rovers fans frustrations. The fans are angry at how they have been portrayed by the media and worried that there will be no football future for the club. I urge the football family to step back and look objectively and the situation at Ewood Park, and not be manipulated by media outlets and pundits, they are probably represented by guess who.

On the plus side on the 12/04/2012, Steve Kean realized the team needs to work on its defense. Only took two cleans sheets in twelve months.
