speeeeeeedie Posted January 16, 2013 Share Posted January 16, 2013 In light of the potential visit of the Venky mob to Ewood this weekend and the continual depression surrounding all things Rovers I have been reflecting on some of the things that have gone on since they took over. If their stweardship hasn't been a complete disaster I don't know what is. However, there have been plenty of goings-on that in a bizarre way make me smile. My top 3 in no particular order; The chicken pitch invasion against Wigan. One of Steve Kean's TV interviews where he mentioned something about not having a dog - with a big bag of dog food visible behind him. The idea for a pop concert at Ewood that one of the brothers tried to set up. Was Akon the headliner? I have to laugh as reality is too painful to watch. Any of you have others?

Andy Posted January 16, 2013 Share Posted January 16, 2013 The part where they realised that they were well out of their depth and sold to the Qataris before it was too late to prevent the downwards spiral we were rapidly heading into. ...oh yeah, didn't happen, did it?

Adam C Posted January 16, 2013 Share Posted January 16, 2013 One of Steve Kean's TV interviews where he mentioned something about not having a dog - with a big bag of dog food visible behind him class. My personal favourite was Pedersen's zimmer frame goal celebration. Honourable mention for the time that we nearly scored but there just wasn't enough dew on the grass. Curse the idyllic weather that keeps Lancashire bone dry. edit: had to add in Kean's down-to-earth assessment of our signings. Formica - the new Batistuta (wtf?!?!?) Bruno - the Brazilian Denis Irwin and best of all, Goodwillie - like a young Wayne Rooney. As of now Denis is back in Brazil never to return after 2 appearances, Formica is in and out of the team (and nothing remotely like Batistuta - well they are both Argentinian, he may as well have called him the new Eva Peron), and Rooney is in the reserves as he has been sent home early from a loan move to League 1.

glen9mullan Posted January 16, 2013 Share Posted January 16, 2013 Got to be when we was rooted in bottom three , before Wigan I think and kean said we was bang on target for a good finish . Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Steve Kean's Hypnotoad Posted January 16, 2013 Share Posted January 16, 2013 The advert is up there for me. And Kean's collection of ridiculous comparisons for his **** signings. Anderson = Smalling Ribeiro = Irwin Goodwillie = Rooney Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
davulsukur Posted January 16, 2013 Share Posted January 16, 2013 Keans comparisons were comedy gold but ultimately cringe. When we sold Phil Jones to United, Kean went on talksport and said that Jones had the opportunity to play Champions League football straight away with United, where as we weren't there yet but was sure we would be in a 3 or 4 seasons time. Has to be up there as one of his most delusional quotes ever. Made me laugh tho. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

broadsword Posted January 16, 2013 Share Posted January 16, 2013 Steve Kean telling everyone there were "exciting times ahead" for the club directly after we were relegated. I think he may even have mentioned Europe. Something about "taking a step back in order to progress"? Alan Nixon deserting this messageboard The concert at Ewood, the bloody mind boggles Miles anderson leaving Steve Kean leaving Wankytash going on telly and saying he was very confused and hadn't felt so bad since his dear mum died Anything that Steve Kean ever said Going to spurs needing a win and not even having a shot on target The original Venky's website Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Mafioso Posted January 16, 2013 Share Posted January 16, 2013 Maybe I was a little naive but here goes... in no particular order the actual takeover.. was hoping for a Man City/Chelsea outcome... boy was I wrong.. the RSC second coming.. a point to prove, knows the club, did F all.. the chicken.. MGPs one and only tackle couldnt have come against better opposition signing Jordan Rhodes Kean resigning winning against QPR 3-2, Im from Malta but was able to attend that game, good first half although all the goals came on the opposite side of the pitch !! Im sure there are a few more that may have been positive points, or maybe felt good at the time.EDIT - THE PLANE BANNER !!! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Backroom DE. Posted January 16, 2013 Backroom Share Posted January 16, 2013 There wasn't one off target either, was there? Nope. Easily the most inept performance I have ever seen from a Rovers team.

jim mk2 Posted January 16, 2013 Share Posted January 16, 2013 The people on this messageboard such as imy and GAV and EwoodSpark who thought Venky's were the best thing to happen to this club and praised their every move.

perthblue02 Posted January 16, 2013 Share Posted January 16, 2013 For me its got to be The statement written by (cough, cough) and delivered by Mrs D on the plan for the club in the early days after the takeover, her vast knowledge of world football and the monetary benefits of a conveyor belt transfer system - comedy gold Venky Tash's at gunpoint "confused" interview from Switzerland - Agnew's acceptance speech in the Telegraph after Keano gave him a place on the board was quite funny , lets forget the past , Transparency , blah bullshit blah bullshit etc etc . Anything that came from Kean's mouth One of the funniest things to come out of the owners (on paper) continuing destruction of the club was the photoshop thread that was on here, no doubt it gave the admins many a sleepless night Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
