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

[T.J.Newton]

Spot on.

Too much emphasis is being directed at Kean when the real culprits are the Venky's.

very good point.

people are tiptoeing around the venkys lately because we know if we pee them off theres nobody else going to buy us(nobody any better anyway), but they continue to support a manager that is clearly inadequate and is weakening the club week by week, so i think they should be made publicly aware the fans are not happy with them(don't want the venksters to go, just get this loser Kean out).

And your solution to this problem is..........?

[LeChuck]

Kean's was also saying we will continue to attack teams which could mean we are more likely to concede goals.

The man is ridiculous. Did he say "continue to attack"? We barely troubled Newcastle yesterday. In fact we haven't created many good chances all season.

[roverandout]

tired of protests, the ones who scoffed at us for doing it, should have joined in last week, im afraid that ship has sailed, only got yourselves to blame.

[roverandout]

have we ever had such a conclusive poll as this latest one? out of 109 votes, 103 want him sacked, i think that says it all.

haven't seem many of the Kean supporters on here since Newcastle defeat though ,the really pro Kean fans wait in the wings.

The poll normally reaches 500 plus.

If he spawns a draw against City it will change again.

We all know that Aggy.

Replacing Kean is the only feasible way we currently have, of saving this season. Longer term, Venky's have to sort themselves out. There is no way of replacing Venky's, but there is a way of replacing Kean.

[roverandout]

but not from me, you can put a wolf in sheep's clothing but its still a wolf

[John]

Will Kean be in the Sky Sports studio tonight I wonder?

[Pugg]

I'm afraid to say that apathy really is setting in now. There is an inevitability about it all.

[BPF]

Yesterday I said

"I really wish Arsenal would have battered us now"

Odd times as a Rovers fan.

[T.J.Newton]

And your solution to this problem is..........?

prickly beeatch!!!!!.

the only realistic effective thing to do is 'everybody' get to there seat early next week and shout their opinion, steve kean out.

[Ben-2000]

Who knows, maybe privately the owners have a date in mind at which point they plan to review the situation and make a decision on SK's future?

I find it very hard to believe their stance is "he's in the job for the length of his contract and that's it"

[Stonesrick]

the players arnt even in good shape, picking up injuries to easily, at least kean has his excuse for the next few weeks with givet,dann,salgado injured.

Yes, it is quite apparent that he is already preparing his excuses for next week's defeat (annihilation? massacre?). His post match interview will be something on the lines of...

"I have never been one to make injuries an excuse, but today we had 75% of our established back four missing."

Trouble is Steve that the majority of us can see right through your bull****!

[Hi Mack]

If he spawns a draw against City it will change again.

Ive never been less confident about a game, im taking a pen and paper to keep count of the goals!

[SIMON GARNERS 194]

And once more,the poll changes just like that!

WILL YOU PLEASE MAKE YOUR MINDS UP AND FAST!!

[John]

Quite a funny picture doing the rounds, Steve Kean bull sh***er doll.

its very good hope it makes the papers.

[FourLaneBlue]

All those criticising Glen and the protesters after the Arsenal win should be looking at themselves long and hard - you're all partially to blame for this being allowed to continue.

Sometimes, the truth is harsh. Those wanting to give Kean more time have contributed, in however small a way, to our chances of relegation.

They should take a long, hard look at themselves.

[roverandout]

i agree

[Fife Rover]

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

Yes there is........At the next home game an Ewood Park that is COMPLETELY empty of any home fans will send a mesage that is so loud and clear to the whole world of football that there will be a huge reaction from the media and if the ownwers are stupid enough to ignore that then there really will be no hope at all for any of us that love and care for the Rovers. I know it will be very hard to organise and probably impossible, but it would surely do the trick.

Also I appreciate that this suggestion has neen made by another poster on another thread, and I have already said that I will not be there for the City match myself anyway because of other more pressing commitments, but none of that alters the fact that for whichever match it could be organised I would stay away ( and before anybody asks...yes I AM a S/T holder)

[Kamy100]

I talked to Venky's PR earlier this morning, for the first time ever was told that "manager is judged on results and last night it was a bad result", normally all I get is "Kean retains the support of the owners".

That said I don't see Kean getting sacked, he will be incharge for the Man City game, I suppose if we get battered by City and the crowd turn against Kean and the owners are there to see it then possibly but as I said last week the Arsenal result has secured Kean's job for the foreseeable future.

Whoever is advising him on PR needs sacking, no way should he have done all those interviews last week, he needed to show a little less arrogance (although I can accept the he was hyped after the week he had gone through) and should've just talked to one media outlet rather than this tour that he went on. I suspect those interviews weren't even aimed at Rovers fans, it was Kean's attempt to talk to the national press who had picked up all the negative feeling from Rovers fans prior to the Arsenal game and to put his positivity across to them. The problem is having done that, he now needed to build upon the Arsenal game, but didn't, instead Rovers went backwards.

The pressure will now be on again next Saturday against a superb Man City side but still can't see him getting sacked.

[Mattyblue]

And it's back up to 96%

Fickle doesn't even begin to describe it.
