Happy Rovers
Today, our new manager Steve Kean gave the players some reassuring information. Kean has been in India and met the new owners, and he has been told that no player is for sale and that there will come some new players in January and in June. Our goal for this season is a top ten position, and now we will do everything we can to make that happen. And therefore it is important that the whole club going in the same direction, that means everybody with their heart in Blackburn have to work together. It goes for everyone from stadium crew, staff, players and supporters. Blackburn Rovers are a warm family club in the Premier League where the core values means something, and it shall remain like that in the future too.
I have had some questions and concerns that I am unhappy and want leave the club. But let’s just remove any doubts right now. I play at Blackburn Rovers and therfore have absolutely no reason to be unhappy. If I wanted to leave the club I had done it in the summer, instead I signed a new contract and is very happy to be where I am. I’ve been here six and a half years, and has almost four years left on my current contract and that contract I fully respect. Morten Gamst Pedersen is a happy Rover!

That’s really good to hear Morten. Have a great christmas and here’s hoping for 3 points on Sunday. By the way, heard we are interested in Erik Huselklepp in January. Do you think you can convince him to come? Please ask Chris Samba to stay.
Jeg kommer å ser din Testemonial match på Ewood! Regner med å se Super Stig rocke en av sidene.
God Jul og godt nytt år!!
Fantastic news in a difficult week.
Completely behind the new manager Steve Kean, and ALL players.
It has been incredibly difficult for everyone involved but starting to feel positive again now we know where we’re at.
Hope everyone reading this will get behind the Rovers lads on Sunday afternoon, can’t wait to sing my heart out.
Merry Christmas Gamst
Good luck on Sunday, and send my regards to the team and good wishes
Good news, Morten! I hope all the players have their heart in Blackburn and fully support the new manager. If they don’t I hope you will encourage them to! The squad can reach 10th but it will be more difficult if any players leave. Best wishes for Christmas and have a fantastic Boxing Day!
yet again you bring the news we all want to hear.its so reassuring to have a great rovers man like you on board.cant wait for sunday to cheer all the team on.
Nice one Morten!!!!!!
Great news Morten - I just wish all your team mates could show the same commitment and loyalty to the Club as you have. In my opinion Chris Samba should have the captaincy taken away from him and, if the press comments are true, you would be the ideal player to take on the role of captain.
Best wishes for Christmas and the remaining four years of your contract.
It is really nice to hear you say things like that

I am completely behind rovers and I hope all the other supporters are as well.
I hope you have a very nice christmas and new year
I will see you on boxing day and hopefully we will get 3 points
Dette var hyggelig lesestoff, Morten!
Spesielt en setning varmer å lese fra en nøkkelspiller:
“Blackburn Rovers er den varme familieklubben i Premier League der kjerneverdiene teller, og det skal den forbli i fremtiden også.”
Dette temaet var en av hovedbekymringene mine da jeg skrev innlegget til din forrige kommentar, og det er godt å lese at du er enig i at dette er viktig å bevare. Jeg antar at du ikke er alene om det i spillergruppen
Ha en aldeles fortreffelig jul, så tar vi Stoke på søndag! Tør jeg gjette på et nytt frisparkmål i venstre kryss?
For en lettelse å høre at det tydeligvis ikke er så totalt kaos, forvirring og misnøye som man skulle tro. Har vært to utrolig vanskelige uker dette for en trofast fan og håper det lysner litt nå mot romjula. Ble fryktelig skuffet og lamslått når Sam fikk sparken sånn uten videre, og man skulle jo tro at disse inderne ikke har peil på fotball i det hele tatt, men de vil jo i det minste det beste for klubben og vi får bare håpe at med dem som eiere vil vi stige jevnt oppover tabellen på sikt. Gleder meg også å høre at du er fully commited til klubben, man ser så lite av slik åpen lojalitet i fotballen nå til dags, så det er en sann fryd å lese at du sier det så åpent! Vi digger deg, fortsett med ditt gode spill og spre entusiasmen videre til dine lagkamerater! Ha en riktig god jul Morten og lykke til med den viktige romjuls-poengsankingen!
nice to see something positive for once morten, & that you are happy at the club!
hope you have a good christmas + 3 points on boxing day to top it off! xxx
Kjempegode nyheter! Puster lettet ut nå. Jeg håper Mr. Kean, dere spillere og vi fans får mange poeng de nærmeste kampene så kan alle få fokuset på plass igjen.
God Jul og lykke til på Boxing day!
Great news Gamst. I for one am very frustrated with all the goings on and news coming out of Ewood at the moment, praying for things ot pick up and start to look positive again. All the best for Xmas and the New Year.
reassuring news for all rovers fans…nice to see the players now have more of an idea of what’s going on!
Have a very Merry Christmas Morten and don’t eat too many mince pies as there’s a game on Sunday (that must suck mustn’t it?!)…
yea rite… That’s a relief. Give us your best on the boxing day.. The day that my beloved country Indonesia will fight against Malaysia in the AFF Cup final. Hehe, guess you don’t wanna know, just some news flash. *hope you don’t mind!
Well i love you and i love Indonesia!!
It’s good to have some positive news today, it’s been a hellish 2 weeks for both fans and players (i suppose). I am looking forward to your testimonial Morton so stay for at least another 4 years (I’d prefer you to stay for the rest of your career but I’ll settle for a testimonial).
BTW, all I want for xmas is 3 points on boxing day!
Merry Xmas!!
Brilliant news Morten finally some reassuring news to cling to have a very merry christmas, and best of luck for Sunday i know you’ll give it your all.
Merry Xmas hope you have a good one
p.s don’t drink to much haha
What would make my Christmas complete is seeing Nelsen score again, any chance you can help him do that please Morten my good man.
MGP you are a true professional. In these days of smoking mirrors regarding comments which become lost in translation, this blog is a godsend! You are so straight with the fans, it’s untrue!
I, amongst many others, have witnessed the rebirth of MGP in a more central role. Your anticipation, pressing and understanding of your new role is phenomenal and you have by far been player of the season so far.
Regarding Big Sam, he did a great job for us but I also feel that utilising more of the midfield will really benefit yourself and the attacking members of the squad. I, and I speak on behalf of a number of people, am excited by what the future holds and with your loyalty, dedication and commitment to the cause, I see a future captain of our beloved club.
Best of luck sunday, in the meantime have a fantastic Christmas!
P.S. I live in Blackburn but i’m going on a trip to Tromso in February - anything I should know?
Morten - such clear and unambiguous language is great to hear from a senior member of our squad.
Have a great Christmas and I hope you continue to have a succeessful season.
Best Christmas present to hear you are not intending to move on. Now please have a word with Chris Samba and get him to stay and we can all go forward together!!!! You are a true Rover now Morten, totally devoted.
Have a Wonderful Christmas Day and bring on the 3 points on Sunday.
Will be there singing from the Blackburn end. The whole family will be in full force.
God Jul da Morten
Håper du får en fin kveld
Juleklem
Oh Morten that is good to hear. You show your dedication so well. Please talk to Samba and hopefully he will stay. Have a lovely Christmas tomorrow and yes 3 points on boxing day would be great.
Flott for dere! Jeg håper at alt ordner seg for deres klubb, men for guds skyld få ut Diouf!
Han er ikke god nok, og han har en instilling som ikke passer inn i en klubb som BB.
Lykke til gamsten : )
Hilsen LFC fan.
Syns det er kjempebra du går ut og skriver dette. Mye tull i media fra flere steder for tiden, derfor er det godt å se noen fokusere på de riktige tingene! Du fremstår som en stødig spiller og en viktig mann for Blackburn. Akkurat slik klubben trenger i slike tider. Bra!
Håper julemiddagen blir en suksess og gir deg supermannkrefter til Boxing day!
God jul til deg og dine!
Thankyou-you don’t know how much those words mean-happy christmas!!!!!
That is the perfect news to hear on Christmas Eve!!!!
Once again, Thank you Morten Gamst Pedersen!! you absolute legend!
Hope you have a nice Christmas!
Hi Morten. Firstly Happy Christmas and hopefully a great new year for all connected with BRFC.
Although your above comments are reasuring there is still great fear about the way the club is now heading under the new ownership. The sacking of Big Sam was a great shock for all fans and players alike I’m sure, especially as it still remains a totaly crazy descision due to the fact that we now have a total unknown with no proven track record in football management. Under Sam the ship was settled and a top 10 finish was surely on the cards… now what… who knows??
It seems the new owners have no idea about English top flight football, or football as a whole for that matter! If the think they can come in and spend £5m per transfer window and turn this club into a top 4 contender is crazy! Teams like Man Utd, Arsenal, Chelsea, Liverpool, Spurs, Man City etc etc must be pissing themselfs with fear at the thought of big money signings such as Charlie Adam, Kenny Miller etc. At least Sam was looking at proven EPL players suck as Santa Cruz, Robbie Keane and David Bentley. It will be interesting to see the caliber of player we will be able to attract in January and how far this quoted 5m will stretch. If we get more than 2 half decent players in I will be amazed.
On the subject of Chris Samba - his recent ‘quoted’ comments in the press could not of come at a worse time. This guy was signed from the german 2nd division as a nobody and is now playing in one,m if not the best leagues in the world with a great club… not to mention on a fantastic wage that the ‘nornmal fan in the stand’ can only dream of. He was also appointed CLUB CAPTAIN!! Does this not mean he is meant to be a role model at lead by example? DISGRACE is the only word I can think of to some this fella up. If he wants to go on to better things then please close the door on the way out. I would right a list of players such as him self who thought the grass was green on the other side, but I have some last minute xmas shopping to attend to and time is at a premium.
A reply to my above comments who be great, but I apprciate with the half a days training, followed by shopping around Manchesters boutiques and fake tanning sessions mush eat up the majority of your time.
Season ticket holder of 11 years and will be making the trip to WBA on Tuesday. 6 points would go somewhere to easing the fears of the die hard fans.
All the best.
Graham
Det va gode nyheter
God jul og godt nyttår Morten
Great to hear Morten, I have been waiting for news over here in Australia and you have given me fantastic news
jeg er 25 år, så jeg synes d er små kleint å si d; men for en mann du er Pedersen! Blackburn har vært klubben “min” siden jeg var 7-8 år, og jeg er generelt jævlig bekymra over tilstanden i klubben for tia, men nervene roer seg til hver gang jeg leser bloggen din! Resten av gjengen trenger ikke å være mer enn halvparten av go`kar som du er, så kommer dette til å gå i gleden!
God Jul!
Nice one Morts glad to hear your staying , get us 3 points on Sunday and it will be a great Christmas !
I actually understood ur misgivings, esp with the takeover, but pal, no club who has u in her right mind will let u go. i use to pray Arsene will lure u to arsenal, but alas, it didnt happen, and here I am an arsenal fan but also a passionate fan of urs. Goodluck, though i hope the luck doesnt shine against arsenal. Merry chritmas
Legend… Great news!!! I dont blame for Samba for his comments because he said ‘IF the new owners carry on’. But I think that we know whats going on and
Steve Kean has done the right thing by meeting with them and has acted as the middle man so that know at the very least we know what is going on! 5m is not a lot but to keep hold of our best players and still add is something that hasnt happened in a long time. I do hope if Samba goes which I think we could get anything from 8-13 million for, I hope those funds go straight back into investing in the team again. Cheers Morten for cheering me up and have a good christmas. You should be captain if Samba goes, although I sense competition from Robbo, Nelson and Salgado (maybe Diouf). In reply to another post, my understanding is that Nelson is club captain and Samba is captain on the pitch.
Hey future mate.we will meet each other in between 2012-2015.
Thanks Morten, you’re exactly the sort of guy we need at our club at times like
this.
Morten bytt skift klubb fra møkkalaget blackB, du har større ambisjoner!
Hey Morten - Nice to see some reassuring news from you to the fans. Let’s get the squad behind Keane and push on
Fantastic, Gamst let’s hope Kean keeps you in the middle of the park
One word “Loyallty”
Thank you for putting my mind at rest that some players actually care about Rovers. Hopeful for three points later, which will nullfy the talk of negativity and relegation.
All the Best for 2011 and I look forward to attending your testimonial following your loyallty.
Poor performance today Morten, albeit not from yourself as you give 100% every game. It would appear that Steve Kean doesn’t have much idea about moving the team forward. He looked like a stuffed dummy on the touchline today - not really what a manager should be like.
Hope the results improve for all our sakes.
Forsvant ikke de kjerneverdiene ut vinduet den dagen inderne kjøpte Rovers? Tok ikke lange tiden før Big Sam forsvant ut dørene ihvertfall. Synes jeg hørte supporterne syne Samuel under kampen.
Også å tape 2-0 på bursdagen min.
What do you think of Venkeys? SHIT!!
What do you think of shit? Venkeys!!!!!!!
Wankys!!! Get out of there Morten!!! Rovers will go titanic, and you my favourite, cant do enything about it….
