Protests against Blackburn Rovers boss Steve Kean and owners Venky's could be the work of dark forces, according to Jerome Anderson
Anderson asks whether abuse is the subject of true fans
Organised protests against Blackburn Rovers manager Steve Kean and owners Venky's could be the work of dark forces, according to agent Jerome Anderson
Anderson, who represents Kean, confirmed he and his family have also been targeted, but fervently denied he engineered either the Scot's appointment or the arrival of Venky's.
Over the past few weeks, with Rovers fighting against relegation from the Premier League, Kean and Venky's have been subjected to waves of protests, with supporters demanding their removal.
Anderson, however, wonders whether there are other motivations given the organised nature of the protests and has questioned whether it is the work of true fans.
Speaking to
Sky Sports News, he said: "Are there things going on that we're not aware of?
Vitriol
"Are there groups of people who say they are supporters, but who really don't want Venky's to succeed for whatever reason, and don't want the manager to succeed?
"With normal fans, all you want to do is support your manager and team. What I think the world of football can't understand is where this is coming from. It does seem to be well organised, from people who say they are supporters."
Anderson believes the vitriol that has emanated from the stands is having a detrimental effect on the players, especially the younger, more impressionable group.
"Wouldn't it be wonderful if the supporters really got behind the manager and team?" added Anderson.
"Sometimes people forget these are young players, and young players need support when they're coming through."
