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

[G Somerset Rover]

Daily Star saying Kean must beat Liverpool and Man Utd to save his job.

That story is absolute rollocks. If we haven't been able to beat Sunderland, West Brom or Bolton in our 'winnable' run then the owners know full well that we're going to get whacked here.

Desai is a spineless bint.

Light at the end of the tunnel?

please give Hughes the assurances and transparency....KEAN OUT

[JWUpper]

Maybe they're waiting for us to get absolutely mauled against united to sack him? Be quite poetic/ironic for venkys after the way Allardyce was sacked...

At one time Kean would have taken the positives and looked forward to the challenge of overcoming these two in back to back matches.

Surely he can no longer be so cock sure as to have said he can still win?

As long as he doesn't have a fit, first choice back four he's absolving responsibility anyway. If he's ever taken any responsibility.

And another thing, we keep hearing from PL managers that he's doing a good job (for them). I'd love to hear from an out of work manager, they must be fuming!

[imy9]

He is NOT getting sacked.

I am quite comfortable with this thought now as only rock bottom will ensure Venkys leave us alone. We can then get on with rebuilding our club.

I hope the trust are satisfied with their 12 pieces of silver.

The reports in the various newspapers are correct, basically everyone (including the brothers) want Kean, however the key person Mrs D is dithering. Yesterday advisors spent the whole day trying to convince her to sack him and by the sound of things more talks will take place today. If Kean survives today then I am sure that he will be incharge for the next three games.

[broadsword]

Is she deaf, mad and blind?

[imy9]

At least if talks are going on for another day then there is a chance.

Mrs D is simply stubborn and does not want to be seen as bowing down to fans, what a way to do business!

[broadsword]

"I'm in charge" *Whilst all around me falls to pieces.

[gazsimm]

today is the day then hopefully. Looks like the pressure is on her lets hope she wakes up and does the right thing for the club and thats to sack kean and F--- off too!!

[Kamy100]

Mrs D is simply stubborn and does not want to be seen as bowing down to fans, what a way to do business!

I also think that the friendship that she has developed with Kean and his wife is clouding her professional judgement.

The situation is completely ridiculous, literally EVERYONE is telling her to sack Kean yet she continues to dither. It is truly bizarre what is going on and yet another example of idiotic decision making from the owners.

[Bluefudge]

Will someone at the club just say 'Kean resign, and to save face we will quietly pay comp !!!!!!!!!'

She saves face

He gets cash

Simple !!!!!!!!!

Isn't that rule 101 of owning a business??

Stubborn? More like clueless stupid old bint

[bestierover]

Have a little more patience lads. If not announced by tea time today, then that should tell us that it is unlikely in the extreme.

Silly old tw8t can get rid. Duffer

I can't see how anybody on our board right now doesn't just resign, being undermined like this on a continued basis is a joke and only out done by the fact they sit there and take it.

I still fail to see how a woman who only watched her first ever game of football a little over a year ago, seems to think she has any creditable judgement on how the manager of a football team is performing.

If she has become best mates with The Keans, surely she should be removed from making the important decisions for the club because as Kamy100 rightly says, it is now clouding her judgement.

His record is abysmal, the team are not performing, we have just been beaten by bottom of the league at home, we are now bottom, 20th at christmas means only 1 thing. And yet the stupid woman continues to dither. The evidence is there and continues to build, he is not cut out for management.

Is there no way there she can be over ruled if EVERYONE is telling her to sack him? There must be some way of a mutiny?

[2PAC 4 Blackburn]

Am I the only one thinking the real reason is wonga?!! If they sack him he will end up with a nice pay off. Plus who is going to pay for someone of a good level? Ie. Hughes? Etc.

Easy way out for the old hag, speak to Kean, say resign and we'll pay your contract up, then she doesnt have to sack him, Kean gets the cash and saves a bit of face!!

[Pelio]

So what is the point of the board and these advisors if Mrs D doesn't listen to what they are telling her??

If its really down to the fact that her 'friendship' with Steve Kean is so strong, or/and that she doesn't want to speand any money on sacking & replacing Kean - then all protests and blame must be directed at her. Forget Kean, yes he is major reason to why we are in the position we are in, but SHE put him there, SHE backs him game after game and SHE'S the one who is crippling this club...

If she really cares for club (or perhaps I should say her image and reputation), then sell up and admit SHE'S made a mistake...

[Taggart]

Thats what I thought as well - a golden handshake of some sort...............

i think they call it mutual consent

[davulsukur]

Sound fair enough to me Kelbo.
