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

[Ferrit]

Ask away, it's stuff along these lines that are the only reason he is still here so they can strip the club bare and relegate us. This is solely my opinion and not that of brfcs but I believe that I am not alone in thinking this.

So come on Venkys sue me or prove otherwise by sacking him you scumbags!

You aren't alone in thinking that. In fact I've been shouting that from the rooftops to all those willing to listen, the response normally being "don't be stupid"

[Stuart]

The Bee radio (I know) are saying there is a board meeting today and that they'll bring updates as soon a they come through.

Kean said there is no board meeting today.

Who's wrong?

In any case it's starting to sound like board meetings are about as pointless as FF meetings when it comes to discussing Kean.

[promoted2001]

Its around 3pm in Pune so I doubt anything will happen today or this side of new year. Nobody will want the job with these jokers in charge and I doubt we'll see them grace the empty directors box again. Can we send Barclays a flurry of emails to try and get them to force the sale of the club to the highest bidder when the deadline passes a lá Liverpool? They've set a deadline and as far as I know it has not been paid off.

Kean doesn't answer to "the board" they have no power - they have an assistant CEO with no CEO in place and no plans to put one in place or even a chairman. Kean answers directly to the owners, effectively putting him above the board in the chain of command. "The Board" may actually answer to him!

I believe this too (at risk of a lawsuit) but sod it I don't care anymore.

I don't know what to type anymore, the guy is deluded and there is no logical dicussion to have with anyone here unless they are a mental health doctor.

1/8 to be next to go on Skybet. surely has to mean something?

It means we are bottom of the league and Kean, who was favourite to win the sack race, has just had his odds changed again.

How many times have we seen his odds posted and hoped it meant he was off?

[Ferrit]

I find it hilarious that there are warnings around legal action on what people say on here, or twitter .

So, you're going to take me to court, for a post on a message board from a potentially open source ..... And expect to win?? LOL, good luck with that.

[SharrockDownSouth]

There was a copy of the Metro lying on the Tube carriage floor as I got off today. Steve's face was there, grimacing at last night's shambles. I stomped on that page and derived genuine satisfaction... this is not a good sign!

How about a "Deface Steve Kean and Venky's" thread? Would release some pent up anger!

Point taken but his odds have never been at these levels before, it's not just Sky Bet either.

[Guest Rovers4Good]

Please can we sack this idiot?

Can we also reset the poll and open another thread as it would be interesting to find out if there was any other people who would give him more time?

[JAL]

Please be very careful RE anything relating to JA, there is a lot of rumour and speculation out there, with no proof to back any of it up.

SEND IN THE FRAUD SQUAD !

[Mattyblue]

Had a look at the back pages today

'Kean reaches the end'

'Kean to go'.

Thing is, the media 'expect' him to, because anywhere else he would- not at BRFC.

[Ricky]

Ferrit, yes and yes. We are being very very closely watched.

[Blackpool_Rover]

In August I posted on here saying give him a chance, and I absolutely beleived he deserved one. Now, I have to eat my words and say sorry for my ignorance and you were all right. I was completely wrong.

I have never felt so much resentment towards a human being. I am going through a divorce at the moment and I have to say Steve Kean makes me 5000x angrier than my cheating wife. I cannot even describe the hatred I have for this man. It's just the feeling of uselessness we all have. It's unbeleivable. This wouldn't have happened in any other club. His refusal to do the right thing and resign, his awful smarmy grin, his excuses, his pathetic blabbering in interviews. I HATE HIM!

Surely it has to happen before Monday. If not, there's a serious problem....not that there isn't already but if he doesn't go now it has to be corruption. I just can't see what Venky's will achieve from all this. I have seen corruption in sport first hand on many occasions as I live in the Czech Republic. I personally know professionals who are corrupt. I have experienced corruption in football and ice hockey BUT there's nothing at Rovers to suggest it. Corruption is usually obvious. We just seem to have idiots in charge and it is making my blood boil that I simply can't get my head around the poison and what exactly is happening to us.

I'm pretty sure this is starting to affect my health now and I'm sure I'm not the only one!!!

I know where your coming from, but even after last night i still can't bring myself to believe that Venkys will sack him.

[John]

Venkys like their late afternoon announcements - problem is that they dither and take their time over anything. Plus combined with our apparent money troubles who knows what might happen.

This is part of the problem now Matty. At any normal club he would have been long gone by now.

At times the media move on as though he has already gone, only to return later, bemused. Hence looking for new and different angles for a story, yet without ever tackling the tough question that the fans want answers to, that is, WHY?

Right now people are desperate for news. Must be a bonanza for the LT - especially now they have backed him to go.

What's happening at the moment is beyond comprehension and people don't know how to react, hence the fractious crowds.

I dread to think what Ewood will be like on 2nd Jan if he's still here.

[RoyRover]

Blackburn Rovers manager Steve Kean has claimed he still expects to be in charge of the club for the Boxing Day trip to Liverpool despite tonight's 2-1 home defeat by Bolton.

The result sent Rovers plummeting to the foot of the Premier League and drew more vicious abuse for the Scot from home fans, who booed him throughout.

Yet he insists he does not expect to get sacked. ``I expect to be here on Boxing Day,'' said Kean. ``I would be completely shocked if they (the owners) decide to replace me, yes.''

So even now, after 7 wins from 38 matches, having us stranded at the bottom of the league at Christmas, a position that only 1 team has survived from in Premiership history and after asking the fans to judge him after the last 6 'winnable games' where we have amassed a grand total of 4 points from a possible 18, Steve Kean would be shocked if he got fired?

It beggars belief.

[brian_gallagher85]

Ferrit, yes and yes. We are being very very closely watched.

Which is why it is important to add that it's solely your opinion to almost all your posts from here on in.

I reiterate that Venkys et al are more than welcome to drag me through the courts the asset strippers that they are. You can't take knickers off a bare arse!

[Ferrit]

Ferrit, yes and yes. We are being very very closely watched.

I look forward to advising my lawyer to draft up a defence.

all the best, blackpool rover!

i gave kean several chances too. tipping point for me was the newcastle away game.

ive never felt as much hatred and resentment towards anyone as i now do to kean.

i humbly apologise to matty, 47er. you 2 were right all along and i wish idve listened to you.

Are you sitting comfortably? So what would you like to talk about?

I wonder again at any strange betting trends (Asia is renowned for dodgy betting) lowest points total in prem, how many games a team concedes two goals and more, lowest number of wins in a season etc!! I wonder?

[novella]

I dont think its anything corrupt going on - Just that they cant afford / dont want to pay Kean off by sacking him.

Prove us wrong Venky's!

If that's so, could you please fix the disclaimer at the bottom of this screen. Unless I'm losing my grasp of the English Language - which is possible - it makes no sense at all.
