If Blackburn Rovers had kept Jason Roberts, they might still be a Premier League team

    They probably knew that at the time in fairness.

    He was a very poor player for Blackburn, and only averaged a goal every 6 games. That's an appalling strike rate for a forward.

    The thing there is Kean wanted to play him as well, it was the owners that said he couldn't because of a contract clause.

    I don't think he was still a premier league player

    Very little difference between playing in a team at the bottom of the Premier league and the top of the Championship. Only difference being the opposition, shows the Venkys are entirely responsible for the mess Blackburn are in, expect a mass exodus of players.

    Lionel Messi could not have kept Blackburn in the PL this season. Blackburn fully deserve to go down and will finish with less points than Hull City did back in 2010.

    They never deserved to stay up and Roberts would not have made much difference (although I am sure he is better than Modeste who was on the pitch last night but who did sod all). Just one relegation place left, I hope its QPR but somehow I cant see Bolton beating Stoke.

    That would be some achievement, given that they have one point more already.
