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

[RoverInverness]

... It's like the media are living in an alternate reality.

For me it's more that the rancid smell of widespread corruption 'influencing' is now overpowering. The stench that eminates from this article, the Sky interview, pundits abuse of Rovers fans and Mr. Nixon's assertion in the early days that we had luckily stumbled upon some previously undiscovered managerial 'gem', leaves me totally lacking in any faith in the integrity of the football media in this country.

I suppose with all that money floating around and with figures like hewhosallnotbenamed making fortunes out of their agency "work" I was probably very naive for ever believing in the integrity of football journalists.

For me any journalist or pundit who defends Coco is either dim (Shearer), hates us (Lawrenson) or under suspicion (most of the rest).

I of course know nothing for sure, I am merely speculating and it is of course entirely possible that hewhoshallnotbenamed has never ever had any influence over any football journalists, and he may be an entirely honest in his dealings with the press. I hope that's enough to prevent my post from being deleted.

There are some decent journalists out there who are not scared or brainwashed. Henry Winter and David Conn (as mentioned on here previously) are particular standouts.

[Lathund]

He's the chief reporter as well. That said it is The Mail, or the Daily Nazi as it used to be called.

The Daily Heil has a better ring to it.

[Amo]

Are you kidding? Does this whole country have some disease where they can't see that he's a fraud? Look here: We've only won 25% of games since he became a manager, and we haven't kept a clean sheet since April. Has he been fired? Noooo! Has he been disciplined? No, no!

[thenodrog]

Anybody else getting a whiff following Muttleys' blubbering interview on Sky and now this nauseating piece in support of Muttley by Matt Lawton in the Mail that it is becoming a fingerprint dusting exercise? An ablution to disassociate themselves from blame over the final death throws of the club and leaving the Venkeymob to shoulder ALL the blame? Following an earlier conversation I shouldn't be suprised to see both the Fat Controller and Kean closing up shop and departing quite soon . Pontious Pilate was a paragon of virtue compared to this pair.

[Steve Moss]

500 letters a day?

Perhaps he reads them over a pint with the 'positive' locals in 'The Village'.

Not only is he a very arrogant man, he is starting to come across quite bitter.

Delusional would be my take. He's sold his soul and is now suffering the consequences.

I genuinely think that Kean and Jerome in a sick way hope somebody does attack them. They're just seeing how far they can push us. Attacking club legends, MP's and Managers whom Kean isn't fit to lace their shoes is just serving to wind up the whole situation by another ten notches.

Why Kean would think this would endear him to the locals is beyond me. All I could think of was he wants to cause a riot.

"Sam's got the hump with me" says Kean - as though he's a one off.

No. Sam's got the hump along with John Williams, The LT, the club's main sponsor, the towns local MP, Battersby, White and twenty five thousand Rovers fans. Just for starters. There are plent more as well.

You've got it wrong- All those notables are the villains of the piece. Kean is the hero, at least in his mind.

Spread this...

Neither version can get the facts right.

[Amo]

I wish I'd stop hearing that Kean 'still has the dressing room'.

FFS that isn't a positive. Even WITH the players' support you're a sh*te manager!

What this morning's interview and Jerome Anderson's interview have manged to do is to further rile the fans, so what will happen is that if Rovers fall behind today then the fans will vent that anger. It's almost like they are trying to make the fans even more angry, so if Rovers lose then like after the Bolton game the media will be diverted into talking about the abuse from Rovers fans and the focus taken away from the poor result.

Exactly my thoughts.

Probably unusued ones to prevent him from further breeding.

:lol:

[hesfromburn]

A massive well done to Kean for the last few games good performances & results...but its not before time.

[damo100]

KEAN OUT!!!

Today was the best team performance I think we have given since the 1st half at Wolves at the end of last season.

Good pass and move - confidence on the ball - all good stuff.

BUT - Kean has to follow it up with a seriously good run of results before he wins me over.

If nothing else - lets hope this pursuades our owners to put their hands in their pockets and buy us some new players.

The bald mourinho

[Ricky]

Let's just hope he learns from his mistakes.

[TugaysMarlboro]

I've no idea about the situation regarding Samba whether he was ill or what not. But IF in fact Kean did drop him from the squad, then fair play to Steve Kean. Bold decision and put his balls on the chopping block. Could have backfired spectacularly but one man doesn't make a team.

[Waggy76]

KEAN OUT!!!

Venkys and Anderson too

[davulsukur]

Let's just hope he learns from his mistakes.

In a whole year he hasn't. I wouldn't hold your breath.

[Amo]

Let's just hope he learns from his mistakes.

No offence, Ricky, but why do people always come out with crap like this every time we bum a win?

Have we learned nothing, people?

[Disillusioned Rover]

One victory doesn't change the last 13 months, I still want him out.
