As a Blackburn fan, I watch this in what can only be described as a sadness that fills the heart. Years of frustration and turmoil have plagued Rovers fans from poor club management to relegation from the Barclay's Premier League. Management lies and agent involvement have made the club a laughing stock and turned the media against us honest fans.
Then I remember it could be worse, I could be a Burnley fan.
Aged well😂
Phahahaha oh dear, how times have changed
I'm a Portsmouth fan and was disgusted at what happened to Blackburn. My club suffered at the hands of serious mismanagement and to see another proud and traditional club torn apart was sad. Looks like things may just have turned a corner up there now. Good Luck Blackburn.
P.S any comments on here pro Venky's are from Burnley supporters. Its called jealousy.
Jealous of bastard rovers🤣😂🤣😂you deluded muppet..... Ps, has Westwood had a bath yet

Spot on Craig.
UTC! My mum passed away last Wednesday and I'm watching Blackburn relegation videos to take the pain away. It's the only thing that I find solice in.
Dead
People must watch this, its a warning for every club in Britain, How long can the FA and Football League ignore the situation.
Great work Rishi, awesome to see such strong football content on UA-cam.
A shambolic spirit crushing decade of Venkys ownership. I give immense credit to Tony Mowbray but I think we are fucked .
As a Liverpool fan who went thru something similar with our former Yank Cowboy owners leading us to being 2 hrs away from bankruptcy, I feel huge sympathy for Blackburn & its fans. I have some idea of how you feel and what you're going thru and your club and their fans do not deserve it
I was at Anfield the day Rover's and the King won the Premier League, thus preventing the Mancs from winning a third on the spin, and the celebrations that went on by all in Anfield that day, I will never forget
Cisseshairdesser Were you actually Cisse's hairdresser, then? 😮
You Liverpool fans were fantastic that day, you stayed behind & Celebrated Sir Kenny winning the Premiership, that will never be seen again.
Very nicely done. As an outsider with only a minor fascination for clubs rotting away, this gave nice concize assessment.
What Venkys have done to Rovers is a disgrace. The sooner the that they sell up and get out of our club the better. Getting rid of big Sam and appointing that complete and useless Steve Kean was abjectly hopeless. We are top of the Championship but are being linked with selling our best players. Venkys must go.
Venkys are clueless about football and their naivety has ruined blackburn,how do u sack sam alladyce when u want to avoid relegation?
Just did it to promote their chicken I think we were 7th or somet he got sacked and we went straight down
Even as a Bolton fan I feel sorry for the fans of Blackburn Rovers, seeing our biggest rival being run so shambolically is a real shame. It could so easily have been us or another club.
I don’t see Bolton as a big rival of ours. If we lost to Bolton it would feel the same as losing to a team like Charlton or Nottingham Forest.
Dan Clegg thanks for being a proper, respectful football fan
Errm this is awkward
Probably the most secure we've ever been just before Venky's came in the top division even when Uncle Jack was here we was up and down. We had a great foundation built in every aspect of the club. What hurts the most for me is the fact that they've not only destroyed our club but a massive asset for our town, now our only source of income from visitors is our half decent shopping center.
Don't be surprised if half the businesses in Ewood close down, it's a joke that they're allowed to do this.
only 20 years ago Blackburn were the Manchester city of the time, breaking the transfer record consistantly on players like flowers, shearer, sutton, le saux, batty, hendry, newell, berg, sherwood. Were challenging United big time and were just about to win the league for the first time in a long time. How things have changed
Not an accurate comparison to make really. City are spending with no view to sustainability - Blackburn assembled that squad for about 25m (while united spent more!) and sold on Shearer and Sutton for 20m alone. We won the league and made our money back within 5 years! If Jack Walker had stayed in good health, who knows where we would be now. .
the 91-92 seasons saw them at thier best,they showed gritty determination,a real passion to work thier way up under dalglish it was magic,the team was great to watch.after the prem win it seemed money was more important,and foreign influence has wrecked it,the dream died in may 92
But all this was on the cards from day one!......the money was going to dry up sooner or later.
+Killian Gaffney Nah you still bought the title and cheated
Get off Batty..🤨
"We will try to instil some form of continuity" - Shebby Singh. How did that work out for you Shebby?
Destroyed a towns spirit
We need new owners always hated the venkys don't know how to invest or run a club its a joke
‘We tried to get a word from Steve Keane but he was busy blowing Lucifer’
Gr8 effort Rishi...Hope things go positively and in right direction for Blackburn FC....
BRFC fan here. I've been in a coma since May 15, 1995. How many more titles have we chalked up? Have we erected a Shearer statue yet?
You've won fuck all since and Shearer ran off and joined a circus. Get well soon, pet.
@British Pride So insignificant I didn't know. Thanks.
Do you plan to do a follow up video about Rovers 6 year on? Nothing much has changed to be fair :(
6 year? This was made in 2013
4 years later there in league one
To see this follow the "Blackburn Rovers - Premier League win 1995 - FINAL WHISTLE at Anfield" on YT is painful.
Shebby Singh........ what a class act. BTW - who is he?
There are more Burnley fans here then Rovers fans...
Shebby all us BURNLEY fans are right behind what you and what the Venky's have brought to the club. Keep up the good work chaps. Up The Clarets! No Nay Never!
At least we're in it, enjoy league one.
Whether Sean Dyche stays or goes we'll still be in the premier league next season while you'll still be in league one. And if Sean Dyche does go we will all thank him for what he's done for our football club and move on, and I'm pretty sure we'll be looking at a better quality manager than Tony Mowbray.
You're not very bright are you. Goodbye.
nongdarko we've still yet to hit rock bottom like Burnley did in WWII right at the bottom of the league system.
Kyle Woods Hahahahahahaha 2-0 to Burnley hahahahahahaha hahahahahahaha
AND IT'S NOOOO... NAYYYYY.... NEVERRRRRRRR!
I don't understand why a Burnley fan would watch a video about Rovers on UA-cam for an hour. It isn't their team so why do they give such a fuck about us? They show more interest in Rovers than their own team because their team is boring to follow.
I agree they do support Burnley after all nobody knows what runs through the dingles heads.
Burnley fans watching a video about Blackburn lol
Love us that much? RTID
They needed something to have a good chuckle at.
P0kerman1978 Could have looked at their clubs trophy cabinet though couldn't they? Well, that's if they have one.
4evarovers Without trying to be rude or patronising, clubs like Burnley aren't supposed to win trophies on a regular basis. Pretty sure Burnley have a play-off trophy from Wembley in 2009. What about Blackburn's last one mate? (Taking into account I don't support either.)
We won the Lancashire Senior Cup in 2011. 2002 League Cup last proper top-level one. To be fair to us we aren't meant to either. We also have much better recent history than them.
***** I still don't know how you felt;) And I rather have six fingers than being a horse shagger or a kiddie fiddler;)
You make me laugh pal, just like other Blackburn fans. You are always moaning about the past (trophies), because you don't have a future;) And about your trophies, WE ARE NOT JEALOUS. And if you always talk about the past, please know the history;) You bought nearly ALL your titles. Even your FA Cups in the 1880's were bought by paying the players and offering them luxerary jobs, while this was firstly forbidden by the FA. Preston Knob End did the same... You and PKE are nothing better than the Rentboys Bus Company. We are proud to have won all our trophies (yes, we won some) in 'the right way'. We were in the past one of the most innovative sides in football history and won trophies during those periods. But hey, enjoy your bought trophies, who are a long distant memory, and while we are being well ran by locals and you lot by our gods the Venkys. You are over 100 million pounds in debt, and that amount is growing and growing.
Long live the Venkys! UTC NNN
What a shame, what football has become in England...
No football club should be owned!........they belong to the fans and the town. This is what happens down the line....are you watching Chelski......Citeh?
steve lane Chelsea is the only Top English club that are still partly owned by the fans... Besides that, Roman is by a landmile the best owner in world football today... A true blue... 💙💙💙
I dont wonna pay tax just to be invested in some football club. If individual club ownership ruins the game, then fans should invest in the club, but I dont think that the whole community would have to pay for it. Why not then not to invest in tennis or cricket or something else
This documentary could have been so much more, with a little bit of informative narrative and footage to break up the interviews (that is taking into account rights issues, of course).
Dry interviews, with lots of good content, were not really done a lot of justice- and no real insight into who the people are that were speaking was really given.
Whoever sold it too them needs a slap💯
Jacks own family
Agreed. I wouldn't wish this lot on anybody.
Well done Rishi, good work.
Sorry, haven’t been keeping up to date on the going’s in at Ewood; can I assume that in the end it all worked out for the best and the club are back in the Premier League?
WE WANT VENKEYS OUT!!!
That is exactly my opinion, I saw they aren't Burnley fans. They are anti-Blackburn fans
I’m only 10 minutes in to this & the more I’m getting annoyed, Venkys know nothing about football.
Go buy some cricket team closer to your home….
To be fair I read a piece in the Athletic and it seems that the Venky's have learnt from their mistakes and put people in charge of the club who know football and have tried to rebuild community relations
If only there could legal suits brought against Jerome Anderson and Steve Kean for money laundering. They mislead Venkys who were naive and had little knowledge about running a football club. We got a fairly transparent CEO in Steve Waggot & Good manager in Mowbray . I hope Venkys have learnt from their mistake and keep supporting us as a club and help us reach premiere league where we should be!
Kean was a pathetic excuse of a manager, but so is everyone that Venkys appoint, Rovers will not start to rise untill we are rid of Venkys.
As long as you win games no one cares who owns the club or how it is run, if you lose everything is up for criticism.
jeez, that is a mess too. even a documentary about darlington would be interesting too. both are sad stories.
fookin sad....I'm a rovers fan since early 90s I was in UK when they won the league...now...we could be relegated from championship for fuck sake...somebody please save the club...
Shebbys mouth moves, words come out but he's saying absolutely NOTHING!
"They got the club on a downwards curve"...Is Shebby pissed? We were mid table before these pricks took over!
Years on, has anything really changed at Ewood?
It has gone further Down unfortunately
more years on we've just been promoted from league one and currently 3 points away from playoffs but we have to thank mowbray for what hes done for us so far
5 years later we just lost out on getting to the premier league and are still in the same position
Really good documentary, I am surprised that the owners allowed shebby to talk in the documentary I'm also surprised that he's so much of a dbag.
If you call a bottom half Premier League club being relegated back to the division where they've spent most of their existence a "fall", then it's a little hard not to laugh.
the guy in the first interview talking about 'respected' local MP Jack Straw. this would be the same Jack Straw who allowed the invasion of Iraq and allowed UK citizens to be tortured by US soldiers in Guantanamo Bay.
you might want to try and get rid of him as a supporter.
How She by singh got the job is mind boggling.. after watching his interview, I wonder how even was a pundit is beyond me.. he lacks knowledge about football, let alone rovers.. I feel sorry for rovers fan and the people who had listened to his "punditry" when he was a pundit..YOU KNOW
He past away recently . We will all miss him. He might not have world class knowledge of football but he is really good academy coach... There are more people out there who is dumber with bimbo personality and make tons of money .at least with shebby he is authentic.. it would be borinf pundit.. steve mcMahon is worst..steve is just crap white englishman who think he knows it all.
Glasgow Rangers,Hearts,Dunfermline,Dundee (twice),Motherwell,Gretna the list goes on and on in Scotland, clubs over reaching and leaving themselves open to inscrutable individuals who think short term gain and the vicious cycle continues in some cases until clubs die.
Scottish Football is dealing with a massive 90's spending hangover and may take yrs to right itself.
This should be a warning to English clubs, a financial hangover is coming,
and it wants paid.
"The fans are difficult to convince"...
Yeah, no fucking wonder Shebby.
Yeah and how many of those owners are corrupt, or whose finances have been marred by corruption?

God save the venkys
Send them all down the leagues
Till they play with Hastings
Do you want some chicken
God save the venkys
Shebby Singh by far and away one of the worst pundits I have ever seen. Why Venky's choose him is beyond believe. Please someone, save my club. I miss Jack
welp old teams are dying but like the owners care...
Leeds have it too, they finished in the top five for several consecutive years in the 90's and since then they have also fell apart.
Now they're back
Warning Warning Dingle Alert Dingle Alert
Rather hilariously for Burnley supporters, it has got to a stage where if Venkys were to leave, Rovers would be bankrupt
Big Jack will b turning in his grave they totally disroyed rovers
about time this was released, just to prove how clueless Shebby and the rest are!
Yo
2024 they need to go they killed our club
Feel sorry for the fans. Btw, is this the same Rishi (DJ) as the one with Jay Sean?
R.i.p jack walker
I can't help ask "Who gives a shit?",
Who honestly does give a flying fuck about Rovers being relegated to the Championship? This is the sad state of affairs, only those who support the team actually give a shit about it. How many of you Rovers fans care in the slightest that Wolves suffered two successive relegations? The unfortunate state of affairs in Ewood has left fans like me and those watching this powerless. We cannot change whats going on and we shouldn't expect the FA to do anything.
Wtf is Shebby Singh talking about . Riddles he hasnt got a clue
I hate our owners coming from a brfc fan I think if there's any way to get rid we should they have never had a clue about anything and they have destroyed our club :'(
This is what happens when a bunch of clueless rich-kids allow a football agent to control the running of a club.
blackburn rovers season finishes
2006-6th

2013(championship)- 17th
how can shebby say venkys came in at the wrong time, and they got a club on a downwards curve.
I'm no fan of fat sam's but I think he would have kept rovers in the prem,Steve keane was a terrible choice.
hearing Shebby Singh talk makes me ill
the fans and shebby singh forced Kean out of the job. They were linked with Beckham, Ronaldinho, Witsel, and Piatti under Kean. really exciting times but the fans never gave him a chance. he had them 3rd in the championship when he left, now look at them?
+Wesley Newt The money dried up so that is why they are at their natural level now
Really exciting times? They signed players the calibre of Yakubu.There was never any chance those players would sign for Blackburn.
He got us to the championship.
We love you Shebby ....Legend !
Keep laughing, fans of other clubs. Maybe yours is next...
Not the mighty Boro!
+transitny NOT BURNLEY NO WAY
+transitny NOT BURNLEY NO WAY
They could pull another WWII run and hit the bottom point of professional football Paul.
Paul Greenstine NO WAY NEVER NO MORE? He’s right. I wish Burnley would enjoy being better than Blackburn with a bit more humility, and yes, it can happen anytime to any club. If Sean Dyche ever leaves that will knock you back 5 years straight off, for example. And you’re still a small club, it’s not like this makes you bigger in any way.
You’re open to a takeover at anytime as a plc company. One minute your chairman is called Dave the next he’s called Vishvalingra. Money talks. Culture walks. Some chairmen are high end motherfuckers. Abramovic is the best ever.
Some chairmen realise just how insignificant they are in the big players club after they’ve bought the club. It happened to Portsmouth. Venkys are shoeless peasants compared to some chairmen. They’re an absolute joke.
I hope that won't happen to my club Leicester city
+Ashley Keogh The Thai bloke you have in seems like he is doing it for his love of football, you will probably not be consistent champions but you won't be destroyed under him.
You won't be down like us. Don't worry, mate.
the guy running leicester isn't spending but they have improved under him.
the training facilities look top notch, youth coaching top notch and they are producing youth players
since that owner took over leicester they have gone from relegation to top 4
this is why leicester can attract top managers despite not spending.
@@WickersRandomGaming
liverpool ae lucky. the new owners care. liverpool look well run from the ground up like leicester. the new owners turned out better than the old owners. a manger does make a difference don't get me wrong but owners that care helps.
if blackburn had good owners they would shoot back up into the premier league.
That's indians for you
Educate yourself ! They are very enterprising people so put your manners back in !
You must not be a Blackburn rovers fan
Brian O Hanlon Nope,nor am I a racist !
Premier league sold Blackburn out … Anderson and Kean ransacked the club out of millions
Well before Jack Walker Blackburn were mediocre team with no great prospects.I blame jack Walker for starting the big hike in transfer fees and also wages,he started the ball rolling with trying to buy success at any cost of course he was a Blackburn lad and loved the club but it had a knock on effect.
The football game used to be a working class sports but now its moving away from that...The football fans are being charged silly amounts of hard earned cash just to watch un loyal football players play that are earning weekly wages that are more than fans are earning in a year.
Small clubs like Blackburn can not compete with Big fashionable city clubs by shear numbers of town/city population unless a billion air takes them on as a hobby/plaything or tax haven.
Football as far as a working mans sport (which it was) has gone.
In my opinion it is ruined and the changes in recent years has made the game a sham.
The beautiful game is now a rich mans playing field and is no longer an even ish playing field.Burnley must be credited for what they have done with little money and are not in debt all be it a very small town its been about good sensible management.Having said that its still bloomin expensive to go and watch
LONG LIVE THE CLARRETS
"The decline of the football club began in 2010"?
Erm.. when were Blackburn last in the Premier League? It began way before the Venkys
They were mid table in the premiership when the Venkys took over.
Long live the Venkys. Cluck.
Venkys rule
Did you use your 6th finger while typing that?
Who put it in the bastards net, who put in the bastards net super Jason Shackell (x2)
DingleBerryHD That only made it 1-1. Sister shagging Danny Ings did it. :p
No Nay Never!
4evarovers So sorry.......I hadn`t realised.............you ARE a bellend!!
so in short ,an Indian firm almost killed an English football club.revenge for colonialism ,may be.lol
+Vimalcetkp Isn't it ironic, don't you think?
PREDICTION TIME: If Venkys make 10p on every chicken they kill, how many chickens must die to balance BRFCs books??
‘What does the future hold for Blackburn?’
A dying football club, a lost cultural identity, a disappearing tax base, 50% Asian population and race riots?
Just drop a fucking bomb on the place.
Grow up you Twat. China owns India. .
They should've backed the manager and maybe they'd still be in the EPL. Fans aren't called the 12th man for nothing!!!!
We want glaziers out, we want glaziers out
All Burnley supporters I have something to say SIX TIMES SIX TIMES SIX TIMES SIX TIMES Burnley get Luton we get united quite unfair but still
Bring back Shebby......or perhaps move the club to India, they could be good in the Indian Super League!
Sadly, that would mean no derby....
You have a cracking team down the road in the Prem......go and see The Burnley Aces!
Good job! 2-4 Accrington Stanley! Going to go support Leicester now?
Sausage Rolls sick burn
+jules b turd moor here we come
+Sargent Law first game is at your ground idiot and second you won't come you always send tickets back...other than that nice one!
its a long way to come from the land down under
pls dont blame India for this, Pls we our great football loving nation, Venkys suck we all indian football fan know that. they all the wrong but pls dont bring india into it.See Force india f1 team it has developed a lot since it takeover.
League One and counting. Check back in May 2018. Surely League Two is too much? We'll see. Not a good start to league One so far! I haven't been since the first match after sacking Kean. I thought they had realised, but turned out to be a false dawn. Just what will make them go is anyone's guess, but I fear going out of business is where they will take this. AFC Blackburn Rovers seams more likely than at any point in the clubs history. The debt and lack of talent on the books with no one coming through the acedemy to the first team are serious concerns.
Gordon Taylor (13:36) complete joke, the guy is on over half a million a year (more than PM David Cameron in take home pay) and sits there like he can't do anything about it. The guy couldn't care less if a team like Blackburn Rovers goes under, and him and his type are cancers killing the beautiful game.
The cancers are the ego-tripping club owners spending far more than the clubs earn without giving a thought to the eventual damage they will do.
Are they selling Chicken & Chips at the Club?
for as long as there pockets keep getting lined.
One last thing, the whole ' difference between you and us? ' thing. last time I checked we have been best in the country as well haha just not in the premier league. know your history if you keep wanting to be living in past!
I don't think it was naivite. I have a dreadful feeliing it was the prelude to asset-stripping.
Abramovich? drain money out of Chelsea? he's invested £1bn....
Sheikh Mansour? Randy Lerner? Mohammad Al Fayed? (just wiped £200m of debt from Fulham)
Yeah I feel sorry for BRFC but not all owners are as bad as Venky's
It's decent but not very telling either, I would say the odd zoom in and zoom out elements were distracting. I'm not also convinced that getting a mirror journalist and mail can be considered professional opinions (given the mirror paper itself had a cover saying why kean should be manager of the year) Besides their wrong that people would had been gone long ago if they had steve kean's record. Brian kidd did a lot worse. The only thing I will say that is outrageous about what the venkys did is their lack of regard to employment rights, such as Mr Berg took them to court over. Their almost as bad as Mike Ashley in that aspect.
thank you Venky we love you
blackburn in league 1 is a shame.
I can't believe that all this blatant unethical and in some cases illegal practice has gone unpunished in the now 3 years Blackburn has been owned by Venky's. Steve Kean and Jerome Anderson clearly staged a coup de etat to remove Sam Allardyce from his position for their own gain, and then proceeded to do the same with other key members of the club. There a lot of people involved in this with a lot to answer for, and I hope one day they get their comeuppance.
