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

[Grez]

There's no point in resetting any polls because:

1. KEAN isn't going anywhere - the venkys have made that perfectly clear.

2. This 1% crap is getting on my nerves. Yes there were 250 people at the havelock, but probably 700 by the ground.

3. The99% do- goder bunch have no career aspirations and just accept what will happen as a fate a comp lit. You don't have to accept mediocrity in life - wake up!

How about we start a thread called at what win rate will KEAN go? I think it will be 15% and in December

We are sleepwalking into oblivion and the apathetic whinging keanites don't care

[roverandout]

the pro-keans will never be moved, pointless trying to get the message across to them as they wont listen.

[SIMON GARNERS 194]

When the support starts to sing "you don't know what you'r doing" as they did when Grella replaced Yak, then the writing is well and truly on the wall.

IMO, a mauling next week by City and Ewood will become a cauldron of 'Kean hate'.

Came across loud and clear on the radio.

[roverandout]

i remember when fans turned on hodgson against southampton at ewood, we lost 2-0 and after the game hodgson was gone, hopefully people calling kean in the stands can do the same.

[G Somerset Rover]

somerset, i am dead against him, i was one of the protesters, so im in no way shape or form a pro-kean merchant, i was willing to give him today to prove himself, which he hasnt because its clear the spineless mob in india wont remove him, i want kean out more than anybody, everyone on this board has known my feelings towards him from day one.

Fair enough, I just don't think he he deserved another game to prove himself. He's proved himself to be a complete liability and needed replacing at the end of last season. It won't happen even now which is what I'm really struggling with. Under any other regime you knew that a change could happen. Under this lot, Kean is as safe as houses.

[SIMON GARNERS 194]

roverandout,there is one BIG problem...the owners think the Sun shines out of Keans backside and by crist does he know it!

[Mercer]

Is there anything more that those supporters, who can see the writing on the wall and really care, can do to force Kean out ?

I think the problem is now Mercerman, the guy is unsackable. Venky's have hired the executioner and they've already put a bag over our clubs head and left kean to lead it to the noose. I really am at a loss as to what there is anyone can do.

[perthblue02]

As far as Venky's will be concerned, once Kean has edited the match and put his edited presser on the DVD he sends over, we beat Newcastle 1-0 = no problems here

[Drunx2002]

How can they though, the value of the club will drop if we go down, so surely their patience will only last so long? It's in everyone's best interest that the club does well, it's just a shame that Kean has no idea how to turn things around.

Basically we need to shore up the leaky defence and fight for every ball, go back to the basics. I don't think we can afford passengers like Rochina and Formica at the moment, not until we've stopped shipping so many goals at the back.

Unfortunately our fullback options are massively limited and we have no gutsy ball winning midfielders. Much as the thought of the transfer was lambasted at the time.... we could really do with someone like Joey Barton in the centre right now.

The only gameplan against Man City is to fight for a 0-0 at least until the last 10 minutes. Try and play against them and we'll be torn apart.

If Venkys are attending next week they will surely get the reality check they evidently need

I love your optimism Marton, but will they? They haven't so far?

We are going to get totally FUBAR'd next week.

As far as today, that was simply pathetic, I really don't understand the tactics at all, there doesn't appear to be any cohesion whatsoever. Playing injured people, taking off goal threats and putting on has been glassbacks, playing Salgado and Givet in a system that lets people tear them to shreds. FFS!

[SIMON GARNERS 194]

They appear totally oblivious to his awful record Drunx200,you have seen the telly interviews last week?

Dont ask me why,dont ask me how but he appears untouchable,he's like Teflon..nothing sticks.

We havent been battered at home YET

[perthblue02]

Perhaps getting rid of him might be a lot easier than we thought, 18,000 cans of this at Ewood sprayed 15 minutes into the game

[roverandout]

simon garner, im afraid your right, under jack, he would have been slung out onto the pavement with his suitcase not far behind him.

[Pitty]

Enough is enough after todays shambles it has to be TAXI FOR KEAN, he cant see the problems in a game were the average man in the stand can. We are getting raped out wide every game, get someone else in now.

[eire3382]

For the first time during my 20 years love affair with Rovers I truely feel depressed with the direction the club is being lead by a manager. During the Ince and Kidd failures I always felt the club will make it through. When we were relegated I thought a year maybe two we will rise again. But Kean is destroying everything.

He is in my opinion not a manager and I'm not sure how he can claim to be a coach. He is however a world class spin merchant. He is only interested in staying in charge for as long as possible and will say whatever he needs to to achieve that. This is his 15 minutes and it will be to our expense.

One person just one who still believes this moron should be the manager of my club please respond to this message and explain to me why he should stay. I will not argue with you I just need to feel that there is 0.01% chance we can finish 17th this year because I think we are doomed.

This season we have been rubbish from the start. Two very VERY lucky matches mean he will remain in charge for a while longer but that breaks my heart. I find myself changing channels whenever he comes on. He lies and talks rubbish, there has been no improvenment since he was appointed in fact hugh steps backwards.

Also if he says once more only 1% want him gone I will explode. Every Rovers fan I know wants rid and the sooner the better!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

[beastlove]

I think mean only has one or two games left venky are not going to public state they are unhappy with either the results or the manager but i bet they are considering his position. now in private . if we get spanked by city he willbe gone.

[Wing Wizard Windy Miller]

Didn't vote after the Arsenal game - thought I'd give it a week...but nothing has changed performance wise.

He doesn't learn from his mistakes. The scary thing is - apart from the inclusion of Lowe - most people pre-game seemed to think this was our strongest side!!! shows how much trouble we're in.

Poor transfer window coming back to haunt us - inferior players signed -madness not making use of loans.

Kean out.

[Amo]

I do hope there isn't another week's worth of 'KEAN OUT' posts.

Save the site's bandwidth, folks. He won't be going anywhere yet. Venky's have been nothing but steadfast in their support. Sometimes I worry that they don't understand the stakes involved. I'm all for giving managers time, but Kean's had over nine months and doesn't look any closer to becoming a PL boss. How long do you give a man before you hold your hands up and admit you screwed up?

Maybe they are gone past the point of holding their hands up now?

Thing is mercer, it won't.

There are a lot at Ewood Park that think we are playing 'great stuff', probably because at home we have never been mauled and they are sucker to a slick PR man like Kean.

Yep.

I'm pretty close to giving up. It seems the owners would sooner have the club relegated than sack Kean. What a sad situation. I've been supporting the club for close to 20 years and I barely recognise it now, I'm sure plenty of others are feeling the same.
