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

[DE.]

Better start roaming t'villages, then. That's where they all hang out.

Don't forget outside the training ground, apparently his supporters are there all the time telling him how he's building the Barcelona of the North.

Oh, we should also think about intercepting the royal mail shipment to Ewood. We can open the thousands of letters of support Kean receives daily to see who's actually writing them.

Have a horrible feeling about this contract news...

sometimes in life you are just speechless and tonight I am speechless.

@CryerRovers @Jmcphee7 @Moogleboogle82 @Fernhurst_Rover @reluctantnicko - Is it finally the end of the road for Kean..........?

CryerRovers Andrew Cryer:

@tomdglumedia I would very much doubt it.

Have a horrible feeling about this contract news...

IF this is true - then I'm withdrawing my support until something changes.

Have a feeling that Kean did what he did after the match to say, 'I'm here to stay, and no matter what you do or say... I'm not going anywhere.'

Arrogant Pr*ck! If Robinson hadn't have come over, I'd have guaranteed he wouldn't of dared do it.

Where do we go from here?

[DE.]

If they give Kean a new contract now - considering everything they've said, and also what Kean has said - it would quite obviously be a gesture to the fans saying "this isn't your club, it's ours. If you don't like it, tough. We're in charge."

Giving Kean a new contract now would, imo, be declaring war on any supporters who don't agree with them.

[roverandout]

if he is given a new contract, im effing finished with the club i love, i know its not blackburn rovers fault but they are owned by a bunch of clueless, inept, deluded bunch of morons who are so arragont and selfabsorbed that they cannot see the reality we are in, never before have i felt this way about my club. We have been through some bad times over the years but in the past we had owners who knew what they were doing and had the humility to admit when they made a mistake. These people seem totally oblivious to whats going on around them, it seems as though owning blackburn rovers is just a token plaything to them. They have no real love for the club so why should they care where our club is going? But there are people who do care, the supporters. We are the ones really affected by all this because after they have long gone, we will be the ones picking up the pieces of the mess they have left behind.

[Craigman]

New pay rise as Owners Spooked

[Hekla]

There is no way he will have a rise.

[Andy]

It would be stupid beyond comprehension to give Kean a new contract.

And as for the man himself, his actions at the end of the match today (see the picture above) is provoking and antagonising.

What an absolute piece of work he is.

I will have nothing to do with the club (minus these forums) whilst he's at the club.

[RibbleValleyRover]

There is no way that Kean should get a new deal, but then again when have Venky's done things with common sense in mind?

What also doesn't make sense is Venky's must be feeling the heat right now and yet they have a get out of jail card i.e. sacking the manager. But why won't they use it? Sack the manager appoint a proper one and they will start to get the fans off their backs. It makes no sense why they just want to carry on as is.

[sharpysharps]

Grant Hanley can shake his head at the fans all he wants but the fact is Rovers defence was shambolic for the most part today, he in particular was a disaster IMO.

The thing is that if Kean gets a pay rise, new contract or whatever it will all end in tears for the fans of Blackburn Rovers. Today proved that playing well against the big teams means naff all when you can't beat an awful Wigan side.

Sources say Venky Rao was 'spooked' before kick-off when he arrived at the ground.

The car in which he was travelling had to stop a short walk from the entrance doors and he was barracked by a small group of Blackburn fans.

And to be fair they were a bad side that pretty much had the better of the play IMO

[Rovermatt]

A new contract for Kean signals two things:

(a) The owners have a positive disregard for the feelings of the fans and are seeking to spite them for having the temerity to question the direction of the club.

(2) The owners simply don't care that we will be relegated with this clown in charge. Why don't they care? What is the purpose of their ownership?

In any case, a potent reason for an uptick in protests.

[michaelthomas]

If a new contract is handed out I will have to think long & hard about actually watching that wretched #### stand on the touchline again.

[47er]

No, he does even worse.

How can you even make a statement like that?

But you're right. People are clearly exaggerating here...

I'm still working out how "Super" Arran could be disappointed! Not the brightest.

Wonder if Chaddy has got lost in Wigan ?!?! Usually, first on with the links !

Huh? Where's this been said? I didn't see that.

[roverandout]

couldnt give a toss if grant hanley shakes his head at the supporters, hes a nobody anyway whos lucky to even get a game, hes that bad. once kean goes i bet some of these players will change their opinion of him.

[glen9mullan]

The problem we have is not all the supporters was singing for his head, and I would say only 40-50% maximum was, During the game, the group I was with was trying to get loads of singing going and many supporters was also not singing songs of support either. So they either never sing songs pro or anti, or they are behind the manager?

Kean goes of the evidence, if only a small section call for his head, then he is quite right in presuming the rest still want him (We know this is not true) But if supporters dnt show their disapproval then to the watching world only a minority want him out.

This has nothing to do with protest etc, but just general singing, not enough supporters use their voices during games to support the team, so its hardly surprising when supporters show their frustration these same supporters also don't join in

The thing is though although well meaning it can be counter productive at times, I sing a lot at games but nothing winds me up more at a game than people getting up and having a go at others for not singing or telling other fans what to do, they paid their cash they can do as they please, singing just isn't for everyone.

If I feel that way and I do sing I presume there will be people who aren't singing and people telling them to sing is just making them less likely to.

Unfortunately we have a very divided fan base right now and it is causing a few ugly scenes, hopefully once Kean has gone it can be recovered

[rover1995]

I don't think i hate another human being as i do KEAN. It makes me sick seeing the utter ####.

[Steve Moss]

How can he talk of a minority?

I was watching online and I couldn't even hear the Wigan fans for the sound of ours chanting "Kean Out"

And remember, the away fans were the "real" fans according to his recent interview.

So with that logic, Rovers' "real" fans are now the minority?

Mind boggling

The Fox announcers made quite a few statements indicating they were doubtful of Kean, but the also mocked the protestors. There were flags that came out and then brought back in, depending on whether a goal was scored. The announcers were clearly of the make up your mind and stick with it mindset.

On the pitch, Kean got it all wrong from the off. Why 4-5-1 when we should have had two solid attackers on ? If only he had been as positive as he claims he is with the formation he sent out because tactics wise the team in the first 45 minutes were shocking. If anyone ever esanted evidence of a team NOT playing for their manager then this was it.

Exactly. We played to Wigans strengths (such as they were). Kean is running scared and doesn't know what to do one match from the next.

[John]

Shut up about singing etc - these fools are ruining our club - don't you get it yet?

He truly is unsackable, something very fishy going on - that were the words told to me by.........

Never let this happen to your club.

I remember the words told to me, and I think I posted them here after the takeover, Jerome Anderson will ruin your club.
