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

[gumboots]

Why do I always picture The Shire when he says that?

Because the Ribble Valley was Tolkien's inspiration for the Shire?

[Steve Moss]

A lovely afternoon and have been in three Ribble Valley villages, and pubs, this afternoon.

Not surprisingly, not a single siting of Kean. I think this man's village is in his own mind !

Next time I'm in England, not only will I watch the Rovers at Ewood, I'm staying in the Ribble Valley. Three posts in one morning have sold me. You guys should form the Ribble Valley Tourist Board.

Now you've said that, FLB, I'm getting visions of the guy from The Acid House, who's begging his wife to "###### in ma mooth".

A ray of hope from Nicko:

reluctantnickoAlan Nixon @BKKRover: Deffo a split over contract. Looking at a Yank on trial. Still no word on budget. Whisper this is going to be a big week ...

reluctantnickoAlan Nixon @garym161: A long way to go to Saturday. Sensors are picking up some potential drama.

we've been getting our hopes up for months..its still retrievable 4 points adrift and playing our rivals in the next 4 games but we need change and change fast

Sacking Kean is half of the answer.

I wouldn't trust the bureaucrats to a.) hire an able replacement and b.) do it in time to save us.

Maybe they are giving him his last chance in the cup game. After all the bull he's given them about wembley etc a defeat in the cup and bottom of the league there's no more spin he can give them surely ?

"I am glad we are out of the cup, now we can concentrate on the league. I like beer."

We are absolutely spoiled. Superb scenery, villages, restaurants and pubs.

Only issue is that, somewhere, a shaven headed buffoon is in hiding.

How many games do you give this clown - ffs, he's had almost 1 full season and delivered a PL win % of 17% - the worse in PL history, I think, by ANY manager.

He will win a game eventually but unfortunately we will be in misery for several after and the p1ss poor run will continue, as sure as eggs are eggs.

Agreed, but imagine the celebrations if they finally do the decent thing.

Hopefully he gets sacked after the Swansea game. I really don't see us winning anymore games under Kean. He has got the defence set out all wrong, Hoilett is playing so poor as of late but he is the first name on the team sheet, he just really doesn't know what he is doing. Teams used to fear coming to Ewood but now every team in the Premier League sees it as an easy 3 points. If we don't beat Swansea that will be the final straw for many of the fans I feel, I really didn't like the idea of protesting at first but I can't take this crap anymore, all the lies, all the false promises and all of the ###### results, he has to go.

Just on SSN - "The bookmakers have stopped taking bets on Steve Bruce being the next Premier League Manager to lose his job, with Martin O' Neill the favourite to replace him." How depressing. He's nowhere near as bad as Coco.

Bad news for our visit to Sunderland in 2 weeks time.

MON will have them on fire !

Bruce wouldn't be too bad a replacement for Kean. He seems to work well on small budgets.

To be honest, Bruce Forsyth would be better than Kean.

Too many beers this afternoon I think. IMO, just provides a slightly less pungent bullsh1t !

I really dislike Steve Bruce - but I would take almost anybody over Kean!!

I would be delighted if that happened. However, I have a terrible feeling that we will go down with Kean in charge at the end of the season....

i believe that he will still be here next season in the championship, then the year after in league one.

He did a fine job at Wigan. However, my favourite would be Lee Clark at Huddersfield.

Who would you suggest?

Anyone with experience as a manager and a greater than 30% win percentage.

I second your motion that a) Kean be sacked); and, Lee Clark be appointed his replacement. I've very flexible on the b part of the motion and would be willing to amend it any which way in order to get the Vs to act.

Let's get Ruud Gullit in and really crank up the sexy football!

Here we go again, sometimes dreams and hopes do come true !

Heard it too many times now.

Nothing will happen tomorrow or the next day... or the next...

Bugger, this happens every weekend, I stay up till god knows what time and nowt happens!!

Probably going to discuss who we can sell in January, which big named player we can be linked with and not actually buy, and which young players we can buy so they can sit out for most of the remaining season.
