Constituent complaints about a certain local football club...

My daily life over the last few weeks has not passed without a reference to the major local topic on many people's minds. The plight of Blackburn Rovers and the worry the impact that the loss of premiership status would have on the local area and employment at the club.

Straying into football was a bit of a no-no until the crises point went beyond being confined to just football matters but the wider community interest not least in my post bag. I told constituents who wrote to me I would say something. Matters however were elevated by Jack's intervention and the rebounding criticism from Mr Kean.

Those outside of the area and unfamiliar with the issue by the way seem to have got the whole Kean/Venky's/fans issue back to front in their naivety to want to appear neutral or fair.

As a season ticket holder as well I feel I am entitled to a view. 

In short that view is we reached the end of the road along time ago. You can have no faith and naturally the end is long overdue or you can have faith but have to accept that the negativity and suspicion isn't going to go away. Either way changes need to be made because necessity dictates with fixtures running out and a transfer window almost upon us. Then serious questions then need to be asked of the owners.

We may have won at Old Trafford, the first time since 1962 but my concerns are the appaling results in the previous 40 matches. That we have the players to win such a prestigious and difficult fixture but the manager can't get those same players to perform in most other games.
