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

[gumboots]

That must have been me at Northcote Manor. I was sat on the next table and asked to move away from the smell of the septic tank.

Did i not warn you a couple of weeks ago that the downside of Northcote these days is that Kean eats there?

When, what time and is he alone?

[yoda]

Never alone, he has the Indian Terry Mc Cann with him at all times,

they make a good double act

Ben doone and Phil Mc Crevis

[gumboots]

When, what time and is he alone?

Well, when my friend met him there he would appear to have been alone, but I suppose, like Cato, his bodyguard could have been lurking. I don't know the answer to when or what time - I know when she met him, but whether that's a regular event I don't know and if it was I don't think I'd say on here.

[RoyRover]

We'd all love to see a Paxman-style grilling but it's not gonna happen.

He's got the press right where he wants them, including all the suckers on BBC & Sky Sports who think he's just an honest guy trying to do an honest job if it wasn't for those Northern louts making his life a living hell. I still feel sick recalling Gabby Logan saying how she spoke to him on a plane and her heart bled for him and the pressure he was under. BARF! Kean's also fortunate he's managing Blackburn Rovers, a small-time club with no ambition and no pull in the media. It's a match made in heaven for the Kean camp.

Sad but true. If any half decent journalist were to look through half of the statements, interviews and press conferences that have come from Kean, you would see that he has lied, deceived and dodged since day 1. They would easily have enough material to hammer Steve Kean to the wall with. But we aren't worth the ink or television slot. We have sold our captain, who was refusing to play, after declaring that he wouldn't be sold and released our club captain for injury reasons only for him to go straight into the Spurs team and yet what gets talked about is this cretin having to have a body guard. You couldn't make it up.

The restaurant story probably isn't totally fabricated just exaggerated, I remember one night pictures of him at the villa in clitheroe were going around facebook.

People make comments online all the time which may be meant as a joke but can be read as threats.

I recall that also. No threats were made. Just that he was spotted in a particular restaurant.

[Stuart]

I wonder if this is all some kind of catharsis for Kean?

Maye he has something lodged deep in his psyche due to his experiences as a young lad at Celtic, where he couldn't get into the team because of all the experienced players ahead of him.

He's promoted youth before they are ready and removed or marginalised all of the experience.

Die, football, die!

Will the pillock ever learn. The dressing room will be more harmonious but we won't win many football matches.

One less senior pro around to question his motives !!!!

[DE.]

Surely not another change in stance from Kean? Samba's gone from being "a big part of what we're doing here" and essential to the way we play... to the team suddenly being better off without him. In the space of about 3 weeks.

Okay then.

[Mattyblue]

'We are all looking forward to getting Ryan back in the side, he makes a big difference'.

*A few weeks later*

Ryan Nelsen has had his contact terminated.

[thenodrog]

"Samba never apologised"!!! That was never going to happen was it after he lied through his teeth to the big man was it? Did Kean consider apologising to Samba for lying to him in January 11?

How tf do our past employees resist spilling the beans? They must all hate the sight of the little sh1t. Have none of our lot heard of twitter? Or have Venkeys plunged us into ever more uncomfortable debt with Barclays in hush payments?

It all reminds me of the old adage... 'If someone deceives me by telling me a lie it's their fault... if they do it twice it's my own bloody fault!'

Samba obviously had the measure of the little scroat and thats that!

[davulsukur]

I don't know why he even bothered to try and make Samba's transfer into a positive.

It's obvious that selling Samba has significantly weakend our squad and has been nothing but a huge dent in our survival chances.

Steve Kean is being screwed over by the owners. There is no way he wanted to get rid of Samba or Nelsen. They would both be in the team if Kean had control over these things. Did Kean want to sign half of the players that he has signed? Absolutely not. They have been forced upon him - Rochina, Yak, Formica, Anderson, Ribiero, etc. The club is run by agents who venky's use. It used to be Anderson, now it's Zahavi.

And if Kean is happy to bend over and take that, whilst constantly directing any negative press onto his own fans, what does that say about him?

Steve Kean was given an increased wage, in all probability to ensure he went along with this wrecking process.

He is an accessory to it all and deserves nothing but our contempt.

He's a yes man. As I've said before, he knows he should never got a premiership managers job and never will again. Add to that his nice salary, he won't quit. And that's exactly the reason Venky's won't sack him. It would be difficult to find another manager who would be willing to accept managing a club the way rovers are run. Allardyce wouldn't have, and Venky's were made aware of this hence the reason he got booted before the Jan transfer window. The previous board were starting to ask serious questions (as we saw in the leaked letter) so they were binned.

That's true as well. He knows exactly what the owners plans are and they would sell our best players and push other players in. He seems happy to accept that. I'm sure he would have preferred to have had lots of money, be in control of transfers etc but beggars can't be choosers. He wouldn't be in a managers job if we had proper owners and he knows that.

[roverandout]

are you another kean apologist?

[Stuart]

Here's a happy thought. If we stay up, will Kean get another improved contract?

[roverandout]

if thats a happy thought, i wanna stay miserable!!!

[Amo]

Here's a happy thought. If we stay up, will Kean get another improved contract?

He'll get a contract OUT on him.

I hope his bodyguard didn't hear that.

[Andy]

He's just received a text message following the above threat and is currently doing a runner from Brockhall...

[DE.]

If Kean had any honour he'd resign. We all know he doesn't.... therefore he deserves all the flak that comes his way, including bringing up his stupid contradictory quotes.

[HemelRover]

"I was at a restaurant with my wife and children a few months ago and got a text message from a friend telling me to be careful.

"There was stuff going out on Twitter from an activist group which identified the restaurant so that people could confront me.

"I showed the text to my wife and we decided to leave immediately.

"We didn't tell the children because we didn't want to frighten them. We just said that there was a good place around the corner where we could get pudding.

To be honest, I remember this on here. Someone posted that he was in a certain restaraunt now and that someone living close to him might want to "pop down and have a chat", sort of thing.
