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

[DE.]

I bet Balaji was on the verge of giving Kean his marching orders, but then in walks Jerome...

(Coincidence that Jafar and Jerome both start with a J? I think not.)

[T4E]

I've lumped on him being next to go. If I in I'll have made money on his hiring and firing. Atleast the useless pr*ck was good for something.

Venkys are now on their way back to India (four different people have told me this in last 10 minutes), All I know is they had a meeting last night with another Managers advisor, The identity of this person is being kept under wraps, tried to get his name, but people being very cagey what they leak out. Being told that a decision has been made on Kean last night, but not to get my hopes up too much as Venkys have been to bed since then and it depends what side of bed they got out of this morning.

I'm also being told that Kean leaving permanent employment at Ewood Park is not a certainty and another role may be offered which could potentially see him re-appointed first team Manager further down the line, (If he would accept this is another matter)

One thing is certain he will not be removed until they have the right vibe on the replacement, if they got that last night I do not know as the person who has told me does not know as of yet!!!

Other people who have been known to get the odd thing right seem to think Venkys signed his removal papers last night, I can't confirm this as i will only go of what the people who I have got information off for years tell me. and their stance is the first paragraph of this post.

Will try and find more out, but with Venkys its always difficult for anyone including Rovers employee's to get the information we all seek

[FourLaneBlue]

Obviously I hope he goes, but its important, if he does leave, that we have someone in place ASAP and definitely by the Swansea home game!

It's important that Kean is sacked. Only that. Everything else is unimportant compared to that for Rovers.

Let Robbo take charge if nobody else is lined up. Or, indeed, a headless chicken for that matter. It wouldn't be any worse than now.

Paul Clements' arrival coincided with a (short lived) improvement in performances.

anyone on quidco - if you're not a paddypower customer go in via quidco and providing you deposit and bet £10, you get £20 cashback, spend that £10 on kean being next to go and providing it comes off youll get

£20 cashback for signing up via quidco

approx £20 winnings (at time of writing)

even if he isnt the next to be sacked you still make £10!

[RibbleValleyRover]

Brilliant that the Venky's were shocked at the fans reaction. I reckon this explains Kean's flights to India.

It does look like it, the owners have a say on final decisions but as they aren't around much they can't get a feeling of the atmosphere around the place and the dire situation we are in. If Kean goes I hope other heads roll as well, they have been badly advised from day one.

The next 3-4 weeks are huge not only for the club but also Venky's. If results continue as is Rovers will be as good as relegated by the new year and there is no way back for Venky's from that, they will have lost the fans for good. If Venky's sack Kean now, get a manager in who can make us hard to beat and pick up results then they will start the slow process of healing the rift between themselves and the fans. If Kean goes today and someone like Curbs come in then we have a fighting chance.

It's worth pointing out that Quidco will take £5 from that £20 if it's your first transaction, although it is free to sign up.

Do the owners not realise how pathetic this really sounds?? Most hated man at Ewood for years and not to mention the worst manager and they still want to keep him employed hoping one day he may welcomed as manager again.

I really dont know what to say

[Craigman]

I fully expect the owners to do their usual. Nothing. I really hope they sack him, just can't see it happening.

tip of the hat to you, seems i have been trumped

[LeChuck]

That wasn't my intention really! Given the choice I usually go through Quidco because their "missing claim" process seems more thorough. Anyone just signing up to do the Kean bet will probably be better going through TCB to get the extra fiver though.

[miqaayil]

i'm praying ... they soo spooked whole circus leaves town ....

[ABBEY]

I reckon it's more leaks leaked on purpose for the name of getting team venky more publicity . He won't be be going anywhere.

[Puffsan]

i'd pucker up if it meant it got rid of Kean.

There were a lot of rumours yesterday, including some from people who are very well informed. The most interesting one I got was from someone who is very close to Ole Gunnar Solskjær (who was linked with Rovers job a few weeks ago), this person is very close to Solskjær and he was saying that Kean would be sacked. Wouldn't say how he knew.

BUT I have been here before, samething happened a few weeks ago but nothing ended up happening, but what I will say is that on Saturday the owners eyes were well and truly opened, in particular by one fan (who is a member on here), he talked to them just before they left, he didn't rant or rave, but was passionate and firm with them. The brothers finally realised how angry fans were. The other thing from yesterday was that the likes of Venny weren't talking calls yesterday, which is unusal, normally they are only to happy to talk.

Let's see what happens over the next 24 hours, but I am not going to get overly excited just yet.

I think the solskjær rumors are more likely to happen this time than last time we were linked with him. I was pretty sure solskjær would stay at least 2-5 years in norway building up a career. One of the reasons solskjær took the job in norway was that he wanted his kids to grow up were he grew up, however solskjær has said his kids miss manchester and wants to go back. If solskjær wants to take a job in england he has said he would only consider a PL club, not a championship club. I think he could consider rovers, cause he and his familiy can continue to live in their house in manchester.

I think solskjær will only consider rovers if venkys shows alot more ambition than they have done until now.

Not sure if solskjær is the right man to get us quick away from relegation, but in a long time perspective he would be the right man. He is imo one of the biggest managertalents in the world

Shut up, Glen. You've got to be on a wind up? Are they for real?

What IS their fascination with the man? No-one I know, football fan or otherwise, can make head nor tail of it. I don't care what sweet nothings Mr. Aaaaaanderson whispers to them, you'd have to be completely dense not to look at the league table and know that drastic action needs taking. Instead, we hear all this talk of new contracts, anything except for what's really required: sacking Kean and hiring a capable manager. Don't they care that their investment is going down the crapper the longer they keep Kean in a job?

...I've gotta stop coming here.

[rog of the rovers]

The later it gets the less likely he has been sacked?

[koi]

I just can't believe it.

[beerwins]

I think bottled it is the expression.

[chromesub]

The later it gets the less likely he has been sacked?

Well, 2 things:

1. They might be waiting on an answer from the replacement guy

2. Worse, do they need permission from Mrs D at the end of their 8 hour flight back to India + 3 hours by road to Pune

You heard Bender.

[sharpysharps]

The news that Big Sam got sacked appeared early evening didn't it on the Monday after the Bolton game? If Kean is going we'll find out either later today or tomorrow. I am not holding my breath. I think he will get 2 more games at least.

[Disillusioned Rover]

I've got my hopes up so many times over the last 12 months that I really should know better by now......yet here I am getting all excited again! Please may these rumours regarding Kean going be true, i'm prepared to go up to Brockhall and drive him home myself, free of charge and save him a bit of money on the chauffeur!

[mark1875]

Once again the Blackburn fans voiced their anger by calling for the owners and manager to leave the club but Kean refuses to be downbeat.

"It's only a minority of fans that aren't behind me and when we are winning everyone is behind the team. It's only when the opposition equalise a small number get frustrated."
