Has anyone else seen this? Just watched it just now as there is a short clip on the Skysports website.
Have to say, to me it sums up what a terrible state our club is in. Shebby is asked some good and pressing questions about the decisions made by the owners, and just deflects the questions with, "Well, I was not here then". Fair enough he wasn't, but some kind of explanation into the thought processes of the heirachy of those in charge, or an acceptance of the mistakes made by the club would have been nice. When pressed on the (non-existant) investment made into the club during our Premiership years under the current ownership he rambles on about how although we have sold players such as Samba, Jones, Nelsen etc. (it's a pretty long list so won't list them all) he talks about how the best players of a club are not always the most important. In some instances this may be true, but these players were the backbone of a well-established Premiership club with vast experience, and so is a completely rudentant argument in this case and now with hindsight, it is obviously a load of cr ap. Completely clueless.
Jason Brown in the interview also being present is interesting, being a former player who has left under the current regime and says, althought not exactly in these words, how clueless himself and a lot of the playing staff see our owners as, which obviously we all know, but it is very interesting to hear from someone who was at the club under our current owners. Although I view it is not acceptable, it does show why we have had some completely half-hearted performances from our players during this regime, as there seems no plan at the club and those that are there, are either completly unrealistic or are plans made that just make no sense. It must be hugely demoralising.
Gives an interesting (although a negative) view on the way our club is being ran. Nothing new, but it is from the horses mouth this time.
Anyone have any thoughts on this?
Also, should have a new manager within a week according to Shebby.

Skysports Interview with Shebby Singh

Yeah it encompassed the dithering and uncertainty of the way we're run last night.
As pointed out, when pressed about the sale of star players, Shebby's response was downright ridiculous. He said something like "yes but do you just want big name players or do you want your best players"

It was interesting seeing Brown's take on the the takeover, but I also thought he came across as a bit of a rude, overy intense pillock.

To be fair we don't need players views telling us things are in disarray.
It is blatantly obvious nobody with any power at Ewood has any idea what they are doing. Those that did were sacked, those that do are paper pushers.
In what way is Shabby any more qualified than anyone on here to pick a list of decent potential managers. Getting them might be a bit more tricky, especially with Shabby pulling the strings.

He looked like what he is, an eccentric pundit from an obscure footballing country trying to talk about how a club should be run. The other 3 guys were smirking at him constantly.

Well after watching that and thanks for posting it,,it clearly tells me that No 1 we are going to get an inexpereinced young maager who will be cheap,,that is a certainty,No 2 my fears on assett stripping or lack of any reall ambition are back on and i am even more convinced that there game is to take the money,, in this Shebby Singh guy he is just another Venkies puppet,even worse he is the usual asain liar,must think hard now on my allegance to this club,,a very sad day for me to have watched that farce,but maybe its time for me to move on,,lets see who gets appointed as manager,,my mate in the pub seems to have been right about our 36mln in debt,as the interviewer said,we are 10 mln in profit on sales,,were is it?,,Ha Ha, India that is were it is.

I genuinely think we are going into admin within the next two years. The owners realise they have inherited a white elephant that continually needs feeding.
Get this managerial decision wrong, lose the parachute payments/sky money (and given their track record!) and that is it.

Agreed, he came across quite badly.

I know that we dont need Brown to tell us how bad it is, we all know how bad it is for our Rovers. Just think it is interesting having former players speaking out against the regime, highlights how disillusioned you would become at Rovers under the morons.
Agree completely that it does not bode well for the club with him making decisions. Truly a shocking state of affairs really.

We knew these things and long term we are going no-place at all with these clowns.We have gone from a fair to middling club to virtual no-hopers.If things had gone true to form we would have had a lot less points but hell,its all in the game.
