En på det engelske forumet som har sendt email til en av brøderne :
"Dear Mr Rao,
I know that by now you will be growing tired of receiving E-mails
regarding the employment of Mr Kean and in particular, the role to which
he is currently employed.
For that reason, I would like to start of by reassuring you that there
are very few Blackburn Rovers fans who are against Venkys. The majority
of fans are just deeply concerned and I believe with just cause.
However, we want Venkys to be a success. If your company fails, then we
fail as a result. The reason for the large volume of E-mail you have
been receiving and the potential future protests is because we want to
assist you in making the right decisions.
I have been watching Blackburn Rovers since my fifth birthday. I have
seen many managers, players and other staff members leave the club for a
whole host of reasons. However, never in twenty-two years have I known
such hatred towards a manager. Anyone with any knowledge of football
knows that hiring Kean as manager was a decision based somewhere
inbetween madness and pure comedy (for the rest of football). The
Premier League is a tough place to manage. Many accomplished lower
league managers have tried and failed (Our former manager Paul Ince is
on that list). You may disagree, but on your next trip back to India,
would you let a child fly the plane?
Blackburn Rovers have a very proud history. We are a club that has a
story which no other club in the world can possibly hope to match or
repeat. If Mr Kean stays as manager then the following points will
become a reality:
1. The club will see a rapid decline in revenue through ticket sales, merchandise and related products.
2. The 'Venkys' brand will be dragged through the mud by the English press and the company will become synonymous with failure.
3. Relegation of the club, resulting in your investment being worth far less than you paid for it.
Personally, I see no reason for Venkys buying the club in the first
place. I believe that from a business perspective it made no sense and
considering that Mrs Desai admitted that the family have no real
interest in football in makes no sense from a personal perspective
either. It seems to me that the company were practically tricked into
the purchase by a very clever agent. However, that being said there are
now two options for Venkys:
1. Maintain Kean as manager and invest no further funds:
There is no doubt that this option will result in
relegation of the club from the Premier League. I hardly need to
explain to an individual like yourself Mr Rao, that when a business
relies on one particular revenue source for over 90% of its incoming, it
is somewhat of a problem when it is taken away. You are then left with
a worthless asset which will require substantial investment just to be
kept alive. Walking away at this stage would be a PR disaster for your
company.
2. Employ a manager with proven Premier League / Top Level Management experience and invest further funds:
People in football will tell you that Blackburn Rovers
have the basis of a good team. With a little, regular investment, we
could start to push for Europe in a few years providing that we had a
manager that knows how to go about achieving it. Regular success of the
team on the field will result in your investment going up. In this
model, you can still sell the club, walk away with very little loss and
enjoy the mass exposure that the whole experience has brought to Venkys.
I think that it is very likely that Mr Kean has given Venkys a whole
host of reasons as to why we are not performing on the field. I imagine
they are similar excuses to the ones he feeds the press every Saturday.
The same excuses that make him the weekly joke on every football
messageboard on Sunday. I have never known a manager like Mr Kean not
to have resigned by this point. It is this self delusion that without
action from Venkys is going to cause the destruction of this club.
As I said at the start of this E-mail, we want you to be a success here.
Even if you are looking to make a profit on the organisation in a few
years, there is a correct way of going about it and the points above
should provide you with a starting point.
I urge you to make the correct decision, you would win a lot of fans in the process.
Yours sincerely,
Steven Bradley"
