[Archived] Letters To Cheston


Recommended Posts

I suggest we bombard Cheston with letters/e-mails about the deep concerns we have about the state of things at Rovers right now. My letter is in the post; here is the text -

Dear Mr. Cheston

I have written to you twice in recent times about my serious concerns about the malaise at Blackburn Rovers and the steady decline in the Club’s quality, status and influence both on and off the pitch.

Your replies made an attempt to reassure me that everyone associated with the Club - and in particular the owners - remained committed and that things would improve. Two games into the new season I see no grounds for any optimism whatsoever.

In your latest letter to me - and as reported in the press - you stated that Owen Coyle was the ”standout” candidate as the replacement for Paul Lambert. Do you really believe that? Frankly the evidence so far suggests the complete opposite.

You can say we are only two games in but the nature of Rovers’ capitulation at home and away has to be a cause for deep concern. Yesterday’s drubbing at Wigan - where the home side could easily have won by a much greater margin - is in itself an indicator of the dismal state of the squad (quality and confidence). It is particularly telling that players were at each other’s throats on the pitch; this demonstrates a lack of team spirit and cohesion. Above all else the Manager is responsible for team spirit and if he can’t engender that he is not a leader.

The complete lack of investment of any of the sale proceeds from player sales is anathema to the supporters and it doesn’t take a rocket scientist to know that if you lose a quality player and don’t replace them with similar quality the outcome is inevitable i.e. decline.

I put it to you that if things continue as they are you, the owners and all associated with making the key decisions at Blackburn Rovers are slowly but surely killing this Club. The next stage of that process will be relegation to League One.

I’d like to think that the Venkys would listen and start to make huge changes to avoid such a scenario; in my view you have a responsibility to communicate to them just what their actions are achieving. However, even if you were to do that - and that would require courage - the track record to date suggests that it would fall on deaf ears and lifelong supporters of this great Club will simply be spectators of its demise. I hope I am wrong but I am not holding my breath.

Yours sincerely

Maybe CC Pasha into it as well

Appreciate the endeavour, but Cheston has no say in what's going on. You'd be just as well writing to the tea lady.

Pasha on the other hand... well, it'll still get ignored, but at least he has some sway with the owners.

I don't have his e-mail address unfortuately

adsfortheblues put it in another thread today

Found it suhail.pasha@hotmail.com

Apparently it was his judgement to bring in Lambert and sack Bowyer.

After that disaster it's possible he no longer has any say - but if so, why is he still here? They already have Cheston to do the rudimentary admin.

Any coincidence that Pasha is ex Kentaro the former bed fellows of SEM who Coyle worked with for years but has never heard of ?

I think not so can't see this slasha guy recommending to pot the Coylist as some of it is most likely on his head. Another double agent probably coining it from both sides after getting the former foes snouts back in the trough.

If the club is so hard up that it couldn't afford to sack Irvine, Kelly and Batty to make way for the new managerial team and can't spend any money at all on transfers, taking 2 weeks to bring in a 20 year old on loan from Southampton, then I think we can forget Coyle being sacked any time soon. He signed a 2 year deal, and along with Henry, Stewart and Hughes there's probably a multi-million pound outlay there to get rid.

Cheston is cutting so much he's shut the club shop and the Blackburn end upper tier. Paying off an entire management team will be an expensive job.

But it's something they do repeatedly, 3 in 12 months again is it ? Just another reason why cost cutting and blaming stay aways for lack of income is pointless because this corrupt collection just keep riding rough shod over the best interests of the club and fans and they keep running up the debts again.

Or are they constantly creating situations where players have to be sold ?

Naff all to do with the crowds.

Cheers. E-mail sent; copied letter to Cheston

Need as many as possible to get on board with this

Too easy to say it will have no effect

Don't bother writing to anyone at Ewood. They're all in it together. The collective noun is - c__ts

Here here. @#/? writing to them, let's go round to their houses.

Where is the elusive Mr Cheston ?

I sent him a link to the petition for him to sign yesterday so he is aware of what is going on.

I can only imagine him having to explain to Pasha what us grubby peasants are up to this time.

They are in big grief letting Rochina go who then went to rubin kazan for mega bucks..

15 % to Rovers but where will that end up. I bet that's being watched very closely now.
