[Archived] Steve Kean

[BRFC1995]

£50 at 5/1 earlier thankfully, 6/4 now........heartbreaking that i knew from this board that he was 50/1 last week but just did'nt have the motivation to bet then

No mark, sacking Allardyce mid season was a terrible decision.

After a 3-0 defeat of Wolves and a closely contested defeat at Bolton (a win would have taken us 7th) they sack a competent manager doing a damn good job.

Why rock the boat at that stage? 'They didn't want Sam spending their money?'

what bloody money? Most of it has gone on compensation and agent fees.

Get a grip mark!

I dont see Mr's Desai giving Kean his marching orders, what happened to all that you can do anything with a positive mentality and Steve has the right attitude to take us into the top six.

Maybe they are actually realising what a cut throat business football in the prem really is.

If JA has definitely gone I don't see why not, I can't see their being a preference for Kentaro clients any more.

No, if we'd sacked him and replaced him with someone like Jol or O'Neill then we'd have been better off. Replacing him with a journeyman, inexperienced coach is the mistake here, not sacking a manager under whom we'd stagnated, were playing mind-numbing hoofball, and just suffered a record breaking humiliation.

For the record, I think we should have kept BFS until the end of the season then got rid, purely to mitigate the destabilising effect of changing a manager mid-season. Having said that, there's no guarantee that we wouldn't be in exactly the same boat had Sam stayed.

The next manager is a crucial decision, and has to be got right.

a manager under whom we'd stagnated

Had we? We seemed to be doing pretty well for a team in "stagnation", and I'd gladly take that "stagnation" back now, thanks.

The 7-1 defeat was a humiliation but the chances of winning that match were remote anyway. We won the match we needed to win against Wolves, comfortably, 3-0. Then Allardyce got blasted for not going for 4 or 5.

Mr. Kean,

The Japanese are a wonderful culture, full of people with honor, tradition, and fantastic customs. I imagine that you know well of the "Fear and Trembling" when you crawled into the domain of the owners in India. Well done, show your leaders respect, that is good.

The Japanese also have another wonderful custom when they screw up and loose face.

Kindly do so.

[Billy Castell]

It is a waste of my time, but I sent an e-mail too. I also added that they should bring back Williams and tell Anderson and co. to shove off. And I'm trying to avoid doing what a previous poster mentioned about the Ince thread.

[G Somerset Rover]

Kean 100% didnt get on the team bus with the rest of the squad and coaching staff. Whether he usually does or not I'm not sure.

[Billy Castell]

Did he cut off a leg then SR?

[Jimmy612]

No, if we'd sacked him and replaced him with someone like Jol or O'Neill then we'd have been better off.

Why?

[Mattyblue]

Because O'Neill plays 'football the right way'

oh wait a minute..

[rebelmswar]

Why?

If you were going in for an operation on your heart, would you prefer a doctor or an anesthesiologist to do the surgery?

Instead of the anesthesiologist we got the canteen busboy.

I would want the one who has been most experienced in that particular operation.

Why does everyone rate O'Neill so highly. He spent bloody millions at Villa and never got them past 6th.

[chris]

this whole situation is making me f'ing sick, Harford, Kidd and now Kean, destorying years and years of hard work.

if Kean loses against Blackpool he better get sacked.

He is turning out to be an embarrassment.

[rebelmswar]

That answers you question.

I personally wouldn't touch O'neil with an unloaded rifle but he does have experiance.

[Sparky Marky]

Sven is the natural replacement with Derek Faz (a proper rover) as his assitant....I can't beleive we've not took him before he's getting a sniff of promotion at leicester...Class manager and just what we need.

Kean must go tonight.

If it's true Ms Desai is indeed in London, I wouldn't bet against a chance meeting this evening.

Big Mac for supper I'd suggest, have to save up for his compo somehow.

[John]

I don't like bacstabbers but if we have a top quality repkacement lined up, he needs to go

[Billy Castell]

Kean's appointment had a backstabby feeling though John. It did to me anyway.

[imy9]

I feel strange tonight. It is the same peculiar feeling that I had at the end of the Ince era, a feeling of indifference, a feeling of "cannot be bothered with football anymore."

I have backed Kean and his stance on football til today, he has been given 15 games, won 4 and lost 9, that is unacceptable, to put it into context Ince had 21 games and had a BETTER record.

Please Mrs Desai do the fans a favour, accept the error that you made and hire a manager who can get us out of this mess, otherwise we could be on the brink of extinction as a club.

There's never been a more damning statistic that that.

[chris]

i wonder how many long term contracts this idiot will hand out this week.

thought we sacked ince after 17 games with 13 points, unless your including league cup games....either way both miles out of their depths.

Correct Ince had 13 points from 17 prem games. Kean has 11 from 12.

Both shocking.

[broadsword]

I thought Kean has had 11 games, 2 wins, 2 draws, no?

11 points from 12. Ince got 13 from 17.
