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

[broadsword]

So you are equating Kean to a cockroach?

You might like to think that, but I couldn't possibly comment.

[LeChuck]

We will beat Sunderland. They are even more rubbish than us.

Martin O'Neill's first game in charge on their home turf without an away win all season? Not a chance.

West Brom and Bolton are must win games. If we can't put two wins back-to-back in those two fixtures then we are done for.

[JAL]

So he is here.

We will beat Sunderland. They are even more rubbish than us.

Yakubu will have a field day - as will Rochina/Hoilett/Formica.

Sick and tired of this MB brining me even more down than necessary!

We will NOT BEAT Sunderland!

Can't see us beating Sunderland. Far more often than not you see a bit of a 'new manager bounce' when a new manager takes over a team. O'Neill will get them organised and make them hard to beat.

The next three games are crucial and looking at Kean's record and the simple fact he has never won back to back games in the league we're done for.

[JAL]

We will..

Too quick for me alex, deleted the post as what I meant to say was in all probability we wont beat Sunderland.

[Mike Graham]

who is the 3rd numpty to vote to keep Coco - Paul Agnew !!!!!?

[DE.]

Did anyone really think Kean was going to get sacked today? I haven't even remotely gotten my hopes up, he's just won a match for goodness sake, if anything he'll be getting another payrise and maybe the key to the city of Pune, or whatever equivalent they have out there.

He isn't going anywhere folks, especially not after a win!

[Plastic Head]

Whether a board meeting is going on today or not, if Rovers are in the bottom 3 still after the Bolton game then I think he'll be gone.

So will we.

If we are in the bottom 3 after Bolton there is zero chance of us staying in the league. It will mean we have 13 points or less on 2nd January.

27 points required from 19 games. 5 certain defeats in there, so 27 from 14...nearly 2 points per game.

[alexanders]

Im full of optimism.

They are as low on confidence as anybody. I agree that "a new manager syndrome" might kick in, but they just lost 2-1 against Wolves after been 1 up. Horrible defending.

[BuckyRover]

Reading through that thread on the BBC and we are getting a lot of support from fans of other clubs including Mancs and Chelsea fans.

Really good to see

i dont think 40pts will be needed this year. can see the total being in the low 20's early 30's. the many of the bottom half teams seem incapable of stringing wins together.. including rovers!

Was that a joke? Low 20's? Or is this the ever optimistic Steve Kean in disguise?

Early to mid 30s certainly, I think low 20s might be pushing it a bit. This is mainly due to the fact that the 'top 4' is now a 'top 7'.

[sijoco]

Just read this PR spun tripe on the LET - New emoticon required for "absolutely f****** burning up with pure hatred and anger".

sorry mid 20's i meant!

keep an eye on the totals.. and comeback to me when teams have passed the mid 20's!

I can see it being 30-ish points for 18th. Unfortunately we're not even on target to achieve that.

I have literally just read this and he knows exactly what the boo's were about but he has just chosen to spin it again. The bloke is a pure wind up merchant and actions like this are why he will never be supported at this club

Second comment down accusing Kean of being "thick".

Au contraire. This guy knows exactly what he's doing.

[King Kenny's Magic]

There's someone on Talkshite in a minute who's going to stick up for Coco...

[broadsword]

His mum.

Or Roversmum.

Haha no it was some bloke called "Tom". Would't suprise me if it was that shyster Agnew.

They do really well to find these people don't they?

[RoyRover]

I cant stand the man: http://www1.skysports.com/football/news/11095/7354215/

As things stand we would need another 10 games to get into the top 10 with our current pts per game average, and that's with nobody from second half of table picking up any points!

If Kean genuinely believes that we should be a top 10 club, then surely he must accept that his failures as a manager is the reason that we aren't there. It's wishful thinking to imagine that someone in the press would put this to him.
