wonderful video on a subject which makes me want to cry. what hurts is the damage to the reputation of the club for the recruitment of future players (not ronaldinho either). Never have a felt so vehemently about a man i have never met.
I don't support Rovers, but what the FA has allowed to happen at this club is criminal. BR fans have been amazing throughout. Hope things don't get worse, and you're back soon.
@comehereformusic The most sensible comment I've ever heard from an Arsenal fan.... You obviously are a football fan not blinded by the media and other predudices. Very refreshing to hear, thank you.
Arsenal fan here. Very interesting and well-made video, I guess most football fans that don't follow Blackburn as closely as their own supporters (i.e. myself) really know what's going on at the club. Suffice to say that Kean and Venky's are a disgrace and I'm amazed at the things that have been going on at your club. Even though the video was made over 5 months ago you could see that relegation was inevitable. What must poor Jack Walker think looking down at his beloved club.
Excellent video, very well put together. I actually feel a little sorry for Kean as he is clearly out of his depth managing a premier league team. The owners clearly know absolutely nothing about running a football club, and I feel sorry for the Blackburn fans too.
@StuartGT Thanks for the feedback - I finished the video on Wednesday evening during the Newcastle match, started uploading it Thursday and it took well over 24 hours to go up, so leaving out the Newcastle & Norwich games was not an intentional decision. I was at the game yesterday and agree that we played well, the performances have improved a lot recently but unfortunately points win prizes, not performances.The unlucky draw yesterday takes Kean's total win% below 20% - or 28 points from 93.
Arsenal fan here (yes i know 4-3) but i just have to feel sorry for Blackburn.. what has happened here is a reflection of the pathologies of modern football and its commercialisation. The outsourcing/division of processes associated with running a club (ownership/finance, managing, playing etc) has created opportunities for unscrupulous individuals to take what they want from the club, its history and its symbolic value, and the result is absolute paralysis..
Blackburn is a great away day, even despite the fernhurst going. I'll miss them to an extent. Fans should really get behind the team on the pitch though and then keep the protests to outside the ground. I think it's 99% Venky's fault, Kean may not be great but he tried hard with the shit he was given to work with.
Venkys is what unfortunately happened. I cannot see our club moving forward again until Venkys get out of Blackburn Rovers. Poor Jack Walkers legacy has been trashed by Venkys, they need to sell up to someone who truly cares.
I was a season ticket holder until the Venkys took over. Then they doubled the ticket price for disabled people who were allocated a carer's ticket. When they got rid of Sam I thought it was bad idea even though his record wasn't great. However it was obvious he was team building and things were starting to look ok. When he was sacked I knew they were going to gut the club to get their money back asap. I've not been to a game since. Won't even watch them. It pretty much put me off supporting any team.
Very upsetting to watch as a Rovers fan. Really does show just how extreme our demise has been over such a short space of time, how evident it is that thing's aren't right on all levels and that Kean needs to go, right now. I fear the worst :/ Great job making the video though!
Good job on the video. Hopefully we can keep cranking up the pressure on Venkys to get this impostor out of the club. Such an abysmal record in charge. We Love Rovers but we Hate Steve Kean. #KeanOut
owners are content with their raised profile, agents content with their financial gain, Kean content with his job yet with no managerial ability, players putting effort in but getting nothing out... An equilibrium has been formed amongst all parties associated with the club either through satisfaction with the status quo, or inability to change it. If you guys get relegated hopefully a rebuilding process can start.
@the2k Agree - no way that losing a run of several games can be put down to luck. One or two maybe; but I personally believe that Blackburn have the quality squad wise to at least mount a challenge to stay. It's mismanagement from the top down that's costing Blackburn. Even the likes of newly promoted QPR (who intelligently signed a number of good, experienced and established EPL players) and Norwich (who have an excellent young manager and a team playing for the jersey) are a better bet.
Rovers fans are a disgrace, abusing their manager every game. No wonder the team's struggling if they have to play in front of those fans. It's not Kean or Venkys fault, its the Rovers fans who are destroying the team!
Right so you actually agree with us on a lot of things? I suppose thats what was so frustrating to our fans about the backlash from the rest of the country last season. All these people calling us scum and defending Kean, and if they just sat down and thought about it, like you they'd find they mostly agreed! The only way we're coming out of the Championship is into League 1. Awful manager who can't be sacked + owners out to make money = we're fucked.
@flyingjibberish You make it sound so easy. We (mere fans) shouldn't have LET them buy the club? We don't have the media-influence that bigger clubs' fans do, for a start. And it was up to the Walkers' not us. I blame the Walker Trust as much as I blame Venkys tbh.
no money? they've sold samba and jones for over 20m. rovers have never been a club that needed a budget anywhere near 20m. kean trapped? you talk like as if he doesn't have the option of resigning. i've never heard of a manager who couldn't resign but i also don't know of a club where the owners will not sack a manager who very obviously couldn't perform. blackburn have always been easily a mid table club without effort. what small team are you talking about?
And you're blaming the fans because we didn't? Its a total myth that "good support" matters. Results depend on tactics, players, motivation from the manager, and sometimes referees. Those are the reasons Rovers ended up with the shite 31 points that we did. You obviously aren't aware that Kean of all people praised our support on numerous occasions, didn't make any difference. And when the game was up against Wigan, the dispicable vermin who've ruined our club got exactly what they deserved.
@tombo1984 Hello mate, I will be updating the video after the chelsea match to include events that have happened since the end of the video (incl newcastle, paul clement bust up, norwich, chelsea, protest 4...) If you feel that there are any events missed out, like the ones you have pointed out, please can you send me an inbox/email with a brief description of each with event with links to stories/videos so that i can include them. Cheers, Andy
They passed because they're legit business owners in India. The fact they're useless at running a football club has no relevance to a fit and proper persons test. They did get money for Phil Jones, so maybe they're not completely useless.
Could it be that a certain SCOTSMAN walked away after the title was won.Yes Celtic won those three games,wow,when did Celtic last win any of the trophies in Europe? Perhaps you yourself live in a time warp.nuff said mate.
Peaked at 21,000!? Jesus christ. I'm getting that horrible moment when you realise you're arguing with someone who literally has no clue what he's on about.
Lol, lets just abuse Blackburn rovers fans. Their new manager lasted 57 days. All those Kean haters have crawled back under their rocks, hopefully for a long time. Their abuse of Kean was disgusting. Mark Hughes to come in and ruin them still more.
Celtic fan...nice video. Been watching the relegation battle this season and it's clear Steve Kean needs to be removed. Results have been shocking, the fans have no faith in him and how he thinks he can turn things round I don't know. Steve Bruce got a decent opportunity but their board knew when to pull the plug. A manager's position is totally untenable when fans protest for weeks nevermind months at a time..how Kean is still in a job is beyond me and the Blackburn board need to sack him ASAP
@sec0ndevolution protesting does no good. The venkys have absolute power, if you don't like it you shouldn't have let them buy your club. To them the fans are nothing more than taxpayers that generate money for the Venkys, so they're not going to listen to your protests. You're better off laying down your arms and supporting the regeime. If you can't beat them, join them!
Every club buys the league title, they avoid relegation by buying, how do you think any club survives? they buy. Even you should be able to work that out. maybe not. Perhaps your lot should consider buying, or better still don't and see where you end up. At least we will have real competition,not like the two team Scots league.
Kean is a useless manager, thats about it. Venky's are stripping the club of assets and have no idea about professional sports management. God help Rovers now, this is just the beginning of the end
Venkys out, they do not understand English football or football in general. They think rovers fans r expecting top 6 in prem... NO, they just want to be in Prem
i am not a rovers fan and i dont like to see players or managers getting massive abuse , except steve kean - he deserves it and more . kean comes out and lies to the media and fans EVERY week , he never tells the truth ! , in doing so - he is treating the fans with contempt - why should the fans treat him any different ?
Steve keane the king of the clowns who destroyed our club to go mid table to here in 2024 be fighting to stay in the championship venkys destroyed our club
Hi there, I am a rovers fan and believe what you all do is bullying him, he is a nice lad , he might not have hair he might only be 5 foot 2, but he is a good guy. So all you guys back off from him , otherwise reports will be sent to the bullying website for each one of you and a fine. Also blackburn 4 lifexxxxxxxx
I know we're a small club, anyone with half a brain knows that. We were protesting because a previously small club excellently run and managed and regularly finishing in the top half, had become a small club being relegated and bankrupted. The only people who wouldn't protest at that are people who don't care and the only people who would stop are cowards. Our support isn't like that, to their tremendous credit, you obviously are.
No. I would support a small damn team from Lancashire who won preiership once only cos of Shearer and had a history of being in a lower division for 2 decades before that.. Yh good 1...
The then Worthington cup.2002.Celtic or Rangers almost certain of being in Europe cups each year. You have nothing to beat.You belong to a shit league,no competition,Preston and Scunthorpe would beat most of them. So really you dont have much to brag about.
Because I'm sure you would have sat there twiddling you're thumbs if venkys and an incompetant manager started managing your club? I admit the abuse is wrong, but you can't blame blackburn fans for shouting their discontent

The fault was 100% Venkys.
I was a season ticket holder until the Venkys took over. Then they doubled the ticket price for disabled people who were allocated a carer's ticket.

Tbh I blame Venkys more than I blame Kean…
It’s sort of hard to manage a club when the owners are asset stripping it…
Very upsetting to watch as a Rovers fan. Really does show just how extreme our demise has been over such a short space of time, how evident it is that thing's aren't right on all levels and that Kean needs to go, right now. I fear the worst :/
Great job making the video though!
Venky's are a disgrace! They've totally destroyed our beloved club.
Great video! Hopefully this gets a lot of views and goes some way to ridding our club of the cancer that is Steve Kean. Kean Out!!
To think Lewandowski was about to head into a whirlwind of trouble if that storm didn't happen.
As an arsenal fan with a owner who does'nt care and a manager who is clueless ...i have to admit i do see this happening to us very soon
Well then
its a brilliantly captivating video, you should do one from october to now because your on the verge of relegation.
I remember Steve kean because it was Yakubus last dance
You will definitely have to make a new one now :)
Good job on the video. Hopefully we can keep cranking up the pressure on Venkys to get this impostor out of the club. Such an abysmal record in charge.
We Love Rovers but we Hate Steve Kean. #KeanOut
Is the song by Noel Gallagher?
AlexanderM05 Coldplay
@StuartGT is it really luck? or is it Kean's inability to be able to read a game and to sub the wrong players?
Watching this in 2021. Looking back I don't know what was worse... Steve Kean or covid.
In my opinion Steve kean, he was a d***head
and now look at us, league 1 now.
ThatGuyEdits Blackburn should be in the premier league. That's where they belong not some crappy league one
ThatGuyEdits and now look at us
owners are content with their raised profile, agents content with their financial gain, Kean content with his job yet with no managerial ability, players putting effort in but getting nothing out... An equilibrium has been formed amongst all parties associated with the club either through satisfaction with the status quo, or inability to change it. If you guys get relegated hopefully a rebuilding process can start.
@andyrothwell Dont forget to add the info about the mortgage stuff thats started going round
Was there ever a part 2 to this
Sam Ashford no - got too depressed. At least things are looking much brighter now!
Andy Rothwell shame was a really good part 1, but yeah plenty more positives now
i hope you can, we need you guys, please try and save the club :/
@the2k Agree - no way that losing a run of several games can be put down to luck.

as a Chelsea fan, all I have to say after seeing this video, is GET RID OF THIS LOOSER. ..
I’m a united fan but I hope you come back to the prem one day
I disagree.
Right so you actually agree with us on a lot of things? I suppose thats what was so frustrating to our fans about the backlash from the rest of the country last season. All these people calling us scum and defending Kean, and if they just sat down and thought about it, like you they'd find they mostly agreed!
The only way we're coming out of the Championship is into League 1. Awful manager who can't be sacked + owners out to make money = we're fucked.
and getting done for drink driving... doesnt sound like a man in control
Steve Kean - EPL Win Percentage - 19.35% - Say no more
@flyingjibberish You make it sound so easy. We (mere fans) shouldn't have LET them buy the club? We don't have the media-influence that bigger clubs' fans do, for a start. And it was up to the Walkers' not us. I blame the Walker Trust as much as I blame Venkys tbh.

Nay
So did Kean have any impact on Championship or is that insignificant?
Magpies!
Shearer!

"Fit and proper" owners? You decide how they managed to pass the Premier League regulation.
They passed because they're legit business owners in India.
The fact they're useless at running a football club has no relevance to a fit and proper persons test.
They did get money for Phil Jones, so maybe they're not completely useless.
if blackpool can get rid of their owners so can we

Only another two decades in the Championship left to go!

@flyingjibberish watch the video before commenting. It is quite simple - any true football fan will understand.
no shots on target lol
Kean is a useless manager, thats about it. Venky's are stripping the club of assets and have no idea about professional sports management. God help Rovers now, this is just the beginning of the end
Hard to watch that, kean the snake 🐍
Venkys out, they do not understand English football or football in general. They think rovers fans r expecting top 6 in prem... NO, they just want to be in Prem
From a hammers fan?
i am not a rovers fan and i dont like to see players or managers getting massive abuse , except steve kean - he deserves it and more .
kean comes out and lies to the media and fans EVERY week , he never tells the truth ! , in doing so - he is treating the fans with contempt - why should the fans treat him any different ?
