Only 43 appearances, at 27! Little bit worrying...

Myles Anderson is the son of the agent Jerome Anderson who had an advisory role as the Venky's group took over Blackburn Rovers. That may be a reason for his late development and hence lack of game time. At the time of his Blackburn signing they said it was for footballing reason and that he could become something of a Chris Smalling who came through late in football. Well that did not happen - so yes a little bit worrying - we could see ourselves saying come back Gerring all is forgiven.

Between January and August 2013 he was at Exeter and made only one appearance as a substitute. Does anyone know the story there...?

Bugger me - the signings get worse!

Least he's got a bloody normal name for a change!

We're doomed!

I'd like to know who you all think we should be signing.

We are 4 points above the relegation zone, paying crap wages in a town that may as well be the middle of nowhere.

The sort of leadership he has been after and he knows the National League says Nicho, from the bench maybe but he has not played a game at our level for 4 years and then only 5 in his whole career for Aldershot, hardly a replacement for Raccine . Hope to be proved wrong but at this stage hope GG holds his place and he isnt the answer either in our perilous position

Let's form our own assessment after he has been on the pitch.

You mean in the warm-up?
Or you're expecting him to start ahead of GG?

I have a mate who's a Blackburn Rovers fan. He sent me this clipping which was in their local rag the other day;

Yesterday Barrow AFC, of the National League, released Myles Anderson.
Remember him ? The son of agent and Venky;s advisor Jerome ( the man who ruined Backburn Rovers) Anderson.
Myles , who joined Barrow in August 16, made just one appearance and was unused sub on 15 occassions. The latest flop in a long line of clubs.
Kean / Anderson gave this lad a 3 year Premiership contract in 2011, along with a squad number 34. He never kicked a ball for Rovers. Except on one occassion in a pre season tournament in Hong Kong, coming on as sub.
As anyone at Brockhall would tell you, Myles could just not play football.
On signing him, Kean hailed him as the next Chris Smalling.
His father Jreome, broke down in tears in that infamous Sky TV interview, because of , so called abuse his son was getting from Rovers fans. We never got the right of reply.
How does Myles get clubs like Barrow ? National League is a good standard, as Lincoln and Sutton have shown us in the FA Cup.
His father pulling in favours probably, Myles is now off to Torquay.
The reason i raise this issue isn to give an example how Anderson plunged this club into £100m of debt.
His son was on a 3 year contract at a reported £30k per week, and he could not play football.
Anderson reeked havoc with our money in his 2 year spell at our club, Nov'2010 till Nov 2012 approx, we dont know how long his involvment was for sure.
Add all the others to the mix , Murphy, Best, etc etc and you can realise why Rovers survival is on the brink.
Venky's should sue the ass of Anderson/SEM Kentaro.

No reflection on Mr Anderson, who I thought had a decent game at the weekend. Just thought another clubs perspective might be interesting!
