[Archived] Steve Kean Thread (Poll reset after Stoke game)

[windymiller7]

Just watched the Granada Reports clip. Unbelievable! Is there nothing that this muppet won't say to try & pull the wool over people's eyes!

All the players are behind me!?! Well of course they're going to say that, nobody in their right mind comes out and openly criticises their employer (apart from Carlos Tevez of course!). What you need to look at is their body language on the pitch, and it tells a completely different story. What they really think will come out when this idiot is finally shown the door.

Kean out!

[Al]

I'm just watching SSN and Charlie Nicholas is bleating that demonstrations by SOME of the fans are not helping anyone. He says if we have 20 points by Christmas all will be well. How the hell are we going to do that with this clown in charge?

Are these pundits really being fooled by Kean's antics or are they being paid to utter these platitudes? I'm not accusing anybody but I find it hard to understand.

Well as Charlie boy is also part of the SEM group, his views should be discounted. As for the others, they don't have a fecking clue about BRFC.

It's a well know footballing fact that when a team hasn't won in 5, it's the fans fault.

Or is that the opinion of unemployable ex footballers ??

Looking at the comments, it doesn't sound like he's got too many fans onside with this latest round of guff.

[rebelmswar]

It is almost time for a burning effigy.

Nothing else seems to be working.

Everyone turning their Rovers shirt inside out would also be a good visual statement.

[Ziggy is a rover]

8 games--no losses? Bit optimistic I think

We should definitely have 11 points though which would see us well up the table. As it is Kean -----WE ARE BOTTOM!!

I am on about targets. Surely you would not set a target to lose. You got to go into a game with the thinking we can get something out of it.

Given Keans positive outlook. I am sure he is way off his targets.

That's what I am saying.

INSANE

[Steve Moss]

If hes still here in November he defo is part of a dodgy Venkys masterplan

I'm beginning to think that Kean really is unsackable. If true this begs the question, why?

What targets? I'm doubting there are any targets.

Kean is, in my opinion, a con man. The only thing managerial about him is his title. The players will always back him, not least because footballers aren't the brightest bunch and easily fall for the ra-ra stuff but also because he controls their playing time and they need to be on the pitch, either because they are competitive, have egos or want to be in the shop window (and perhaps all three).

The real question is the Raos. If Kean is running a con, are they in on it? Is there something dodgy going on? Or are they simply incredibly trusting, dense or so "positive" that I doubt their reasoning ability?

[bluefred]

i personaly would welcome a premier league investigation into to our club

just to find out the truth one way or the other ,then may be we could start to enjoy support our club again

its the not knowing that is causing so much unrest on the terraces.

His statements get even worse - the edited 'highlights' on Granada Rep were bad enough, but this is mental!

Does this mean that if he targetted 3 points from City this season, then all we have to do is go and get a win at Eastlands!? I'm speechless! I've never heard such cr*p from anyone let alone someone who's supposedly in charge of a PL club!

This idiot is now making Glen Hoddle's training & mentoring methods look reasonable!

It reminds me of Only Fools & Horses (only a hell of lot less funny!)

"Don't worry, this time next year we'll be millionaires!"

It makes no sense to say about this targeting thing. Does this mean he targeted a loss at home to Wolves & Everton? Just for giggles because obviously we'd win away!

He's just an embarrassment. I try my best to avoid his gurning face and voice on my telly because if I do happen to catch it I just want to whack the telly.

"“We have a points tally in mind for us to finish in the top 10 and we are slightly off it at the moment but I would stress it is very, very slight."

Classic.

He's mentally retarded.

It's the only explanation.

I have a points tally in mind for us to stay in this League and we are a long way off it at the moment.

I know stress can affect people in different ways but his increasingly bizarre comments (dismissing reality in favour of a positive outlook) do make you wonder if he is genuinely ill.

Quite ironic too that he's starting to follow Allardyce's philosophy on targetting results...

LT's article on the top ten finish.

Looking at the comments, it doesn't sound like he's got too many fans onside with this latest round of guff.

He said: “We sat down with the lads and looked at all the clubs and set a target with regards each individual club and what we would like to get from them in a season out of the two games to take us into a position we think we can get to.'' “If you look at the table you can get a bit down and you don’t want to look at it again but we are looking at what we need to do against each club.''

So a Rovers Team meeting goes something like...Ok lads no more looking at the League Table you're bottom and playing crap so live with it. I still want us to be friends so let's play pretend football instead. It'll mean you won't have to get your boots and knees muddy doing that awful training you all hate so much. I'm off to do some TV so let's get this sorted. OK I'm quite positive its Spurs next game so what do you think? OK Nelly and Jas raise you right arms if you think we'll draw ...I said your right arms...nevermind...ok so we'll go with that. That's positive. I'll tell my best friends in Pune that we'll get a draw against Spurs. They love me same like what you do (sounds better in Scottish!!) Gotta dash as SSN have a van waiting outside. I'll ask more of you when I know your names. Hey Dunny can I have a chicken leg?

[Clitherover]

If hes still here in November he defo is part of a dodgy Venkys masterplan

Yes it's almost like Venky's want us to get relegated in order to easily asset strip the club next season.

Or am I being too cynical?

With regards to Kean and his comments in the LT he's gone far beyond delusional this time. I know hate is a strong word but I really am starting to hate this man.

Can you imagine any other Premierleague manager coming out with this shyte?...the football media must be laughing their knackers off at him behind closed doors.

Does Kean the tool also play eye spy and pin the tail onto the Donkey at these team talks too?

A desperate and clueless man who will say anything to cover his own back.

[Emge]

My hate against Steve Kean is now at a matching level of that feeling you get when Rovers score a goal, only in a bad way (of course).

The last couple of days Ive tried to forget all the horrors of Venkys Steve Kean FC but its not really working.

In good moments, all of a sudden Steve Keans ugly face pops up and ruins the moment!

Please, dear Venkys, stop torturing us and kick that bloody doughnut out of our club, pleeaaase!

[damo100]

All fans should stand as a majority at tommoz game and all sing 'STAND UP IF YOU HATE STEVE KEAN' like they would sing when we have played utd, dingles etc... With it being televised on sky this would be clearly seen and heard for all !!!

Sadly it's not on Sky.

I thought that, but I was sure he had said something about us no longer targeting results ala Sam and we would try and win every game.

I've tried looking for a link but can't find one.

If only we could get our hands on a copy of the think tanks predicitions for the Season.

Kean will have sent a copy to the Raos telling them that's what HIS players say they will do.

Any they'll believe it OMG

Kean has to be approaching a level of insanity when he should be taken of the streets for his own and the Publics good

I had an aunt that was that way, sadly passed away this year, but she had far more sense of reality.

Kean has no mental disorder, nor is he disabled in anyway, he is a useless, pathetic, little man that lies to cover his vast lack of ability.
