“Your club needs you”, says Blackburn Rovers legend Simon Garner
0June 6, 2012 by Andrew Howells
Blackburn Rovers legend and all time top goal scorer, Simon Garner, is now spokesperson for the Blackburn Rovers Supporters Investment Trust (BRSIT), an organisation looking to work with fans to buy the club back from its confused, clueless and controversial Indian owners, Venky’s. And Garner had one vital, shout it from the rooftops, Winston Churchill-like message for Rovers fans: ‘Your club needs you’.
Garner expressed his feelings on the future of the one-time Premier League champions, BRSIT’s success so far in their efforts and his opinions about Venky’s in an exclusive interview with Andrew Howells.

United sign Kagawa. What next for the young boys?
0June 5, 2012 by Chris Hames
The announcement this week that Shiniji Kagawa would be the first summer signing for Sir Alex Ferguson has sparked great excitement amongst the Old Trafford faithful, who throughout last season, pleaded for extra voltage to be added to the old machine. The Japanese attacking midfielder has been a key figure in Dortmund’s last two successful Bundesliga campaigns. However the real question is, with Kagawa only twenty-three, what now for the hopefuls already wearing the shirt in the acclaimed youth academy and reserves?

The curious case of Venky’s: Astute Indian business people or ‘confused’ cowboys?
1May 25, 2012 by Andrew Howells
Venky’s could have taken a step towards reconciliation with angry fans by making the decision to sack Steve Kean and by bringing in an experienced manager and chairman to set plans into motion to help Rovers bounce right back from the Championship. Instead, Kean, labeled by Venky’s as ‘unsackable’, is seemingly set for a stay, with Venky’s set to continue running the club themselves.
As the owners march on, making puzzling, baffling and incomprehensible decisions, are they really successful, intelligent business people or simply plain ‘confused’?

Football manages to restore some of its pride
0May 15, 2012 by Adam Gray
Somewhere amongst all the headlines made by Yaya Toure’s cameo performance that effectively sealed Manchester City’s name on the Premier League title at Newcastle on Sunday afternoon, the undercard role turned its teary eye into the direction of sentiment as they fittingly ended a superb campaign by unveiling a bronze statue of Sir Bobby Robson outside the Sports Direct Arena. The footballing plotlines barely saw time to stand and reflect on the symbolism of this behemoth of footballing gentry that served the club and the sport so dignifiedly throughout his life that was regrettably cut short to cancer at the age of 76.

Ranking The Final 10 Games: Decision Day In The EPL
0May 13, 2012 by Kyle Brod
Two weeks ago, I made my predictions on the three key races going on in the English Premier League. I still stand by them, although there’s one pick that I would probably change if given the opportunity. My predictions were:
-
Manchester City wins the league
-
Arsenal 3rd/Tottenham 4th
-
QPR, Blackburn, and Wolverhampton relegated
This being said, here are the games to watch on Sunday, ranked from ten to one:
10-Blackburn at Chelsea
