BLACKBURN APPOINT SINGH

Blackburn Rovers recently appointed Malaysian defender Shebby Singh as their global advisor. The club are in turmoil at the moment and the appointment of an unknown defender as the global advisor has only infuriated the fans even more. They have been expecting the sacking of manager Steve Kean for quite some time now. The former assistant manager has travelled to India in to hold talks with the owners regarding his future. However, he seems that he has come unscathed from the problems after it was revealed by Shebby Singh will be continuing as the manager next season in the Championship.

It has also been revealed that Shebby Singh will be advising the owners on football matters, while he will also assist to the club in bringing in new players. It is previously thought that the owners were getting advice from manager Steve Kean. Even after suffering a number of defeats in the second half of the season, his position seemed extremely comfortable at the club. It has consequently led to the relegation of the club from the Premier league after more than a decade. It remains to be seen if the club will be able to stay afloat in the Championship.

“Everyone starts with a clean slate. At this moment it is going to be difficult for the fans to think nothing has changed but we would like to re-group and try to take this team forward. I would say we have already discussed terms with a very, very important player, in terms of the characteristics that he can bring. We are also in talks with a couple of other players, in terms of striking positions. As far as I am concerned and as far as I know funds will available to buy the right sort of characteristics that this team needs,” said Shebby Singh.

BLACKBURN ARE STRUGGLING

An incredible golden period in Blackburn Rovers’ wonderful history is undergoing a major crisis due to inexpert ownership, awful managerial decisions and a lack of consistent performance.

All Rovers fans possibly dreaded the ‘Premier League adventure’ would end some day. The continuously increasing monetary odds has badly affected but none could have ever thought the ridiculous nature in which an affluent running run club has crashed for about the last eighteen months.

Most Rovers fans will wish that they never ever hear of Venky’s. This entire fault is owner’s decision. They selected and had faith upon Steve Kean, thus allowing the club to spend around 20 million pounds on more often than not duff signings along with allowed years of knowledge and skill of the club to go on waste.

There is a faint ray of hope after Bolton’s heavy crush to Spurs which will at least give Rovers the scope to fight. Although the possibilities are less with just 2 games left and 3 points adrift. There is nothing working in favor of Blackburn Rovers that here are lots to complain, very less to appreciate.

But the preparation is in full swing for what might possibly be the last Premier League match at Ewood Park. Monday night’s trip of Wigan, is an apt to rejoice an amazing journey of the club for the last two decades.

For a town with a population of nearly 100,000, the awesome footballing accomplishments have been in one word miraculous and outshined everything which any other Premier League club could not have handled over a continual period.

Rover’s fans have been on a journey which no town club can ever feel again. To spend merely 2 seasons out of the Premier League and 9th position in the league’s all-time rankings is an achievement which leaves the club as the excellent achievers for over the past twenty years.

KEAN: BELIEVE

Blackburn manager Steve Kean has said that the club and their players should start to believe themselves following the 1-1 draw with Aston Villa during the weekend. Blackburn Rovers are in a precarious position in the table, just a place above the relegation zone. There are currently floating above the relegation zone only based on goal difference and there is a possibility that they may once again slip back into the bottom three. That has been a lot of animosity towards Steve Kean ever since he took over from Sam Allardyce. A lot of the animosity was justified during the earlier part of the campaign, but despite selling a lot of high-profile players, Steve Kean has still managed to get Blackburn above the relegation zone.

Speaking after the match against Aston Villa, the manager has said that it is time for the Blackburn players and coaching staff to deliver the results for the fans. There are only a few matches left in the season, while it will be even more tough for Blackburn since there are only a few home games left for them. Steve Kean has said that Blackburn Rovers should be targeting before matches in order to get away from the relegation zone. They did exactly that during the weekend where they managed to come back from behind to draw with Aston Villa.

“From our point of view, Chris never withdrew his transfer request. He wanted to go, he made that quite public. On a positive side, now we know everyone we have in the dressing room wants to be here. We will all be pulling together. We wish Chris all the best, he was very vocal in public about wanting to leave and he’s got his wish,” Blackburn Rovers manager Steve Kean said after the departure of Christopher Samba during the weekend.
