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

[LeChuck]

Obviously a manager can have some input into it, but he's not the one responsible for getting a player to sign it, and certainly will not be the one dealing with the financial side. I imagine Kean's trip would have been focused on football, trying to convince him by telling him about the role he would have him play in the team.

To be honest I am not sure who is responsible now. In that past it was John Williams, so someone from Venky's must have taken over that role. It will not be Kean though.

''More recently elements within and connected to the club have engaged in a damaging PR campaign that has been confrontational and baseless.''

How do you interpret that comment?

[Rover_Shaun]

Here is the video http://www.parliamentlive.tv/Main/Player.aspx?meetingId=9994

Graham Jones speaks at 1hr 20 which is not easy to find as it's a poxy buffering video

Not had time to watch it yet

Maybe someone could grab the vid and cut the relevant section our and repost?

My take on it is its aimed at the potentially BAFTA winning An Agents tale fictional drama that was on sky, and the potential pulitzer prize for fiction , the poor little Scottish catholic boy story that appeared not long after in the press.

I had to laugh at that. Tragic really.

Moved. Mods tidying up whilst I was typing!

[Majiball]

Could someone pray tell in what context it was all said within parilment?

[barry_]

the statement, whilst welcome in the long term fight against venkys, changes nothing.

personally I would like to see the protests against Kean resumed as he is culpable in all the dealings against Blackburn Rovers.

Apart from clutching at straws it is obvious we are finished in the short term.

There was a time a few weeks ago where Kean was portrayed as a victim himself but through the lies he tells about players as an example it is obvious that he is no victim.

I think the man is a disgusting, devious peice of work who deserves EVERYTHING he gets.

[Stuart]

See the Graham Jones thread. But it was a sincere but heartfelt account of the goings-on at BRFC. Nothing new from our point of view but it was a warts and all Rovers fans' opinion in front of a parliamentary committee.

it wasn't in the 'house' but in a committee room

General Debate

Football Governance: Seventh Report of the Culture, Media and Sport Committee, HC 792, and the Government Response, Cm 8207

I am not sure what, if anything, the report will effect.

Where the hell have you been for the last 16 months have you lost all sense, Kean is responsible by NOT getting Holliet to sign on, even if only an extension of his contract, he flew to Canada at least twice to see his father, well that's what he said, could be a lie of course, still he dosent do lies does he, this is just another player saying you are a prick Kean and I will leave when I want, any manager with credibility would/should be able to get the boy to sign on, christ we have looked after him for what over 7 years now, he obviously liked playing for us before Kean but not now, simples init. By the way I don't mean to be rude, I am just so fed up of this clown marauding as a manager.

I totally agree, now Graeme has made public in front of a parliamentary committee something we as fans could never do, so in that respect it only helps the cause, and we can only hope Sky, the BBC, red top and high brow newspapers cotton on to what has been said, he certainly did not hold back, maybe some of our more influential members can email contacts etc, Kudos to Graeme Jones :brfc:
