Paul Posted June 6, 2012 Share Posted June 6, 2012 Agnew not so much prematurely ejaculated as masturbated into the LT on the back of the bus... to continue a certain line of metaphor. Philip that truly is a horrible image........ Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Anyone know more on what is happening there? Karen Silk confirmed to me on Friday that Paul Agnew has been appointed to this post, however he is not due to return to work for a couple of weeks yet.

den Posted June 6, 2012 Share Posted June 6, 2012 Suffering relegation last season obviously hurt everyone involved, but we must not get bogged down with what has been and gone. So, the big question. Will he demand Kean's sacking? If he doesn't, he's just another yes man. We'll see. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Mattyblue Posted June 6, 2012 Share Posted June 6, 2012 'The last 16 years as part of the BRFC management team', Err he was a sub contractor. Kean gets ever-stronger. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

AggyBlue Posted June 6, 2012 Share Posted June 6, 2012 Not a foot on Ewood or a penny contributed to a Rovers with him running the show Aye, my only hope of a return to Ewood now is a takeover Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
rovers11 Posted June 6, 2012 Share Posted June 6, 2012 So, the big question. Will he demand Kean's sacking? If he doesn't, he's just another yes man. We'll see. The main reason he was given the job is because he is one of the few people who backs Kean. Venky's are clearly attempting to fill the board of directors that back Steve Kean.

Hughesy Posted June 6, 2012 Share Posted June 6, 2012 Just another shield for Kean? General Manager of all areas.....does that include picking the team?? Strange title......which typically just creates MORE confusion :!: :!: Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Mr Cool Posted June 6, 2012 Share Posted June 6, 2012 General Manager? That's just weird. Steve Kean to be renamed "first team coach", coming next? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
G Somerset Rover Posted June 6, 2012 Share Posted June 6, 2012 I've said it before and I'll say it again, I'm done until that lot are out of our club. Not looking very likely is it. Corrupt as ####. Bet Kean/Agnew/he who shall not be named are gonna have a bleddy good knees up tonight at our expense. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
rog of the rovers Posted June 6, 2012 Share Posted June 6, 2012 Another eff you to the fans. The Nightmare goes on..... Still if Agnew thinks he's in for an easy ride he has another thing coming.

G Somerset Rover Posted June 6, 2012 Share Posted June 6, 2012 Still if Agnew thinks he's in for an easy ride he has another thing coming. I'm sure Kean and his merry men will tell him that the end justifies the means. As long as he's on the gravy train he won't give a flying one about some fan abuse.

sambo Posted June 6, 2012 Share Posted June 6, 2012 Another day, another farcical BRFC news story. I'm desperately wishing we were the Rovers I was once proud of, and actually wanted to support. I love Rovers but I can't go to Ewood and cheer this cr@p on, it's just wrong. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Waggy76 Posted June 6, 2012 Share Posted June 6, 2012 Totally incredible , remember the song we used to sing '1st division here we come , right back where we started from ' The end is nigh !

Roversider Posted June 6, 2012 Share Posted June 6, 2012 Perhaps there is a deeper side to Mr Agnew than I have seen in action over the last 20 years. Where does being a local sports journalist equip you to run a football club. A single year at PNE followed by the creation of his own small PR business that sub-contracted to the Rovers. I suppose editing the programme makes him a 'key' management figure. Now that is spin, as Goebbels said, the great propaganda is 10% truth, just not certain it has reached that level. So we have Steve Kean's media minder as General Manager, are we then going to see his driver minder becoming Stadium Manager next as has been rumoured? Good luck Mr. Agnew,you will need it. You will need to work a miracle to shed the image that Rovers fans have of you. It may be a wrong one in your view but there it is. The only plus is that this member of management lives locally and as such can't escape listening to the fans. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
tomphil Posted June 6, 2012 Share Posted June 6, 2012 He may well end up needing a bodyguard as well, we will be the only club in history to have to keep selling players to pay for bodyguards and drivers for the morons running the club I also notice its been said he is now off on a 2 week cruise after finally squirming his seat on the board. Great start, who the hell is going to sort out the immediate mess then ? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
davulsukur Posted June 6, 2012 Share Posted June 6, 2012 "I am passionate about Blackburn Rovers, my family is steeped in it, and if we can get everyone pulling together for the common good then I believe we can proceed with confidence.” We can never pull together while Kean is still at the helm.

Strange title......which typically just creates MORE confusion :!: :!: I think we have more clarity now Hughesy. 1] The Raos aren't planning on selling any time soon. 2] Kean is staying as manager, although I wouldn't be surprised to see someone come in to "help" him out. 3] Rovers are going to plough on, oblivious to all protest.
