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

[RoyRover]

Yep the "if we had won 3-1 you would have said great performance" quote will take some beating, even by Kean's standards.

God he's outdone himself there. Quite brilliant. It would be funny if it weren't so pathetic.

[Mercer]

Two friends from Newcastle who I were with tonight simply could not believe his interview on Radio Rovers nor how accommodating and fawning the interviewer was. They said they'd had bad times there over the years but nothing like what we are suffering - makes Ashley look a genius which, in reality, he almost is having sorted out a financial mess at Newcastle and put a realistic structure / aim in place !!!

I think it's pretty telling how Sunderland are doing after replacing Bruce with O'neill

Nowt to do with it. Our record under Kean and the Slumdogs is all that matters.

Never mind his managerial ability. He should be sacked on the basis he is the unluckiest manager on the planet!

[John]

Don't you reckon it is all coming together, slowly but surely.........?

Steve Kean, the coach promoted into Allardyce's chair, is himself represented by Anderson who, senior football sources say, has for years rated Kean as highly promising. Kean has already disregarded the time-honoured rules of caretaker management diplomacy, which dictate that coaches in his temporary position say they do not want the position full-time, at least at first.

A quick reminder - what a tit.

Don't understand that comment. Isn't that what sam_rovers was saying? If we had proper owners who had the know-how,guts, honesty, money etc etc to replace a non-performing manager we wouldn't be in the mess we're in now.

Sadly he's not unlucky enough to get sacked.

[ruggles1995]

All my mates that are not rovers fans keep asking me why do I want himn sacked? and your not going to go down.

WELL HELLO!!!! look at our FOOKING record u bunch of blind tw@ts! just because of a couple good points against utd asrenal and liverpool they all of a sudden think this is a man good enough, then when I tell them what about the other 40 odd rubbish games we have had under this clown they turn round and say yeh but your blackburn your teams not good enough. errrrrrr HELLO AGAIN!!! what about under alldyce, hughes, souness..... dont remember struggling too many times under them, and we were safe under alladyce.

Todays average football fan is a deluded pr!ck with no knowledge, there too blind eye to there own teams they have no idea. Most of my mates that tell me this are chelsea, utd, norwich and liverpool fans. these so called fans that call for there manager top be sacked as soon as they loose or draw a game, and these so called fans that call for there owner to spend 100 million as soon as they loose or draw a game. GET IN THE REAL WORLD I SAY! Blackburn Rovers fans - we have been there and done it all! we are probably the most experienced fans in this day and age, from premiership winners, champions league participants, mid table finishes, top 6 finishes, cup trophys, relegation, division 1 football, final day of the season survivbal, rich owners, and now owners with no clue or money. SORRY ENGLAND but if there are any fans with the knowledge of this game ITS BLACKBURN BL**DY ROVERS FANS! REAL CLUB REAL FANS come back to us when theye been through what we have.

Rant over.

NINE defeats from 12 home games

Well Done Mr Kean

Take a bow son

Shocking. Really is, we used to build a season based on home form keeping us in the league and battle for any points away. 3 wins out of 12 is a disgrace.

A quick reminder - what a tit.

Clown, how can he say something like that?

[rhodie]

Its a strange thing being a supporter lately,We all can see what`s coming but there is nothing that can be done to get out of it.For me the Bolton game was when I gave up being outraged at everything that`s going on and and allowed resignation and a touch of apathy to kick in.I follow the club out of a sense of pride , camaraderie and the simple joy of taking the mick out of the losing opposition.All of these things have been taken away by what`s going on and I can`t help but think is it worth being a supporter at all.The thing is I like football and I couldn`t follow another team, it just wouldn`t sit right.It doesn`t matter if Kean turns out to be a better manager than Fergie,He really should have been sacked as I`m sure we all agree, a long time ago or he should have walked away knowing that he is not ready to be a manager in the premier league.The owners will not be told what to do with their business end of,Its a matter of east is east and west is west and never the twain shall meet.Their whole chain of thinking is totally unfathomable and I would really love to know what is their end game.Asset stripping is a fairy tale,if that is what they wanted all of our "valued" players would have been gone long ago and Ewood would be an asda superstore. Protesting has achieved nothing whatsoever,Except for total disharmony and us becoming a laughing stock .Before I get slated for daring to state that,Show me what has changed since they started.Actually I think a few have used the protests for there own Ego boost.Having said that there is also those that honestly want to bring about change.Our club is geared for failure,Everything that kept us safe is gone ,People talk about the legacy that Jack built,sorry that has already been stripped away.Kean is only the tip of the iceberg I`m afraid, We need change from top to bottom and I don`t think it will be happening anytime soon do you?.

I am beginning to feel sorry for Steve Kean. It's not his fault for being in the position he is and I have to admire him for staying there.

Just imagine if you had been 1st team coach, being brilliant at your job and suddenly promoted to manager by new owners.

You'd have a crack at it, wouldn't you.

Now, months on, and the structure of the club has disintegrated to such an extent that the owners expect you to be not only manager and coach but chairman, CEO and the rest. You have to run an EPL club all on your own.

On top of that, every six weeks you have to take a night flight to Mumbai Mumbaie? (Oh, sod it) Bombay, and travel by road to Poonah, have a two hour meeting with Venky's, return by road and travel back overnight, take a road journey from London to Brockhall and be fresh for all your managerial and coaching duties.

Regarding the road journeys in India, I travelled to Sri Lanka once for my daughter's wedding and the road journey from Colombo down to the south of the island was the worst I have ever experienced. It cannot be described here. Needless to say I dreaded the return trip to the airport which turned out to be just as bad. I expect the Indian roads to be the same.

How the man can stand at the side of the pitch on match days hearing the verbal abuse hurled at him and not collapse with exhaustion is heroic.

Our club is in tatters not because of Kean but because of the Rao family.

Nooooooooooooo. Don't be sucked in!

Kean is still here because it's in his financial interests.

Meanwhile our club slides closer to the edge.

[John]

Yeah, Kean got the job on merit after all especially after his sterling work at Coventry and Fulham......

If it wasn't for his agent sleeping at the training ground too and doing all those amazing contracts (for free) we would have been screwed.

[Mattyblue]

Tongue in cheek, wasn't it bazza? bazza?

[bazza]

Who, just WHO, would take Steve Kean's job? I hazard a guess at nobody.

Tongue in cheek, wasn't it bazza? bazza?

Actually, for once, no.

Shame on you.

Yes, yes, poor Keanie weanie. Your heart has to bleed for the guy earning thousands of pounds a week, win, lose or draw, despite the fact he never should got the job in the first place and usurped the previous manager the moment his agent got him the boot. You call Kean "heroic" for enduring the fan's "abuse?" I call it bloody shameless, mate. The guy's milking the club for all its worth because he knows how jammy he is to be "managing" this club. Nevermind the fact he's a barefaced liar who insults the fan's intelligence everytime he opens his gob. I see what you mean, though. He's a real trooper.

Bazza, Coco is a lying deluded toe rag. He is a disgrace to the name Blackburn Rovers. Go Coco go.

25 strange people want to give this clown more time to destroy us even further.

We are in the process of being destroyed by the Raos regardless of who the "manager" may be.

NINE defeats from 12 home games

Take a bow son

Is this what you get when you employ a SEM/Kentaro client to run your Team.

Just hope the footballing world in this country can understand the anger that there is in Blackburn towards this wee inept man though I somehow doubt it.

I wouldn't waste your breath. If these people haven't woken up by now, they never will. Yes, Venky's are the chief culprits. That doesn't magically change the fact that Kean has played his part.

Check out the 25, it's made up of WUMs, rival fans, the deluded, and the downright crazy.

[Stuart]

Who, just WHO, would take Steve Kean's job? I hazard a guess at nobody.

Sorry bazza, that doesn't make me feel sorry for him.

If anything I think even less of him - as a human being. By carrying on regardless, he legitimises Venkys actions.

I'd rather have nobody that have Kean continue to pretend everything is fine. The club has systematically been reduced to the shell that it is today.

Kean has played his part.

[roverandout]

sorry bazza but thats the most ridiculous post i have heard bar the venkys destroying our club, i feel no sympathy for him, hes a liar, and incompetent manager and brown tongue, i hate him as much as i hate venkys!!!
