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

[Kamy100]

The other thing to note, with the fans, team and media flying out to Pune over the international break. I can't see Venky's sacking Kean, a managerial change will throw most of their plans for this trip into turmoil.

[Billy Castell]

Or a great time to do the PR stunt and say, "Kean has gone, and here is our new manager-Pep Guardiola. Ta-da"

OK I'm more likely to invent a time machine and give Elizabeth I a good seeing to with Buddy Holly being a perv and watching, but the general idea would be valid. Surely getting rid of a usless manager and having a 'pre-season' game in India with a good manager would be a cunning move. Not that the idiot owners would do that.

[Tony Diamond Inc]

OK, let me tell you where I am.

As one of the more vociferous posters in the 'give him time' corner, I have again voted that way. However, my concerns are raised that the expected (or potential) improvements that comes with time, are clearly not happening.

The attacking philosophy is flawed at the moment, as it is simply leaving the back door open. The midfield is porous, and that can not be good for any defence.

Against Citeh, the team selection, tactics, and to a lesser extent the result (as most teams will fall foul of Citeh this season) will determine which way I vote.

Whilst my belief in the man's abilities are waning, my philosophy of allowing sufficient time remains unbowed.

The day of reckoning is upon us.

Very gracious of you.

But, fancy only being able to notice just now that things are not improving.

You have ripped Keans team to shreds and then say give him more time. Where/how do you see him improving these players?

Our games up to the end of October are:

Man City (h)

QPR (a)

Spurs (h)

Norwich (a)

How many points do you really think we'll get from these?

If he has, should be sacked on the spot.

According to Glen Mullan - see below.

If true, enough is enough.

This bloke is, IMO, such an arrogant tw@t.

[broadsword]

It wouldn't surprise me, the fans have been treated quite shabbily since the takeover. We're probably all regarded as mugs.

I'm caught between impotent rage and fatalistic resignation.

Kean won't go any time soon, and we're stuck with the giblet robbers until we go down.

I was shown the full Steve Kean interview by Sky which was aired last Monday, before they carried out their interview with me, They wanted my response to the things he was saying RE March and Arsenal game.

It lasted around 35 Minutes did Keans interview and Sky cut it to around 60 secs when it went out on Sky Sports News , and that is exactly what was said.

[Tom]

Before flying off on this one I think we need some proof of it.

It's all irelevent anyway, calling people who wanted him sacked morons isn't good at all but not enough to tip the scales I bet.

Do you have any contacts at Sky (or has anybody) who can get hold of this?

[broadsword]

There's really not much difference between "donut" and "moron", so I can imagine he did say.

Innocent until proven guilty. But we can allow this one to stay on file, because the prosecution has more than enough evidence to send him down for a very long time to come.

[Ferrit]

It was sack before the Arsenal game, it was sack after the Arsenal game

It was sack before the Newcastle game, it's sack after the Newcastle game.

Don't let one result cloud your judgement, we were extremely lucky against Arsenal, the kind of luck you don't get every week. He still needs to go.

[Moppy]

If people do work for Sky they would have to work for Sky Sports division to stand a chance. Its a big company don't you know.

If he did describe some of the Rovers fans morons it is hardly the reason for sacking him, lots of other reasons you might find but a comment like that, come on guys, lighten up. He clearly doesn't understand what a moron actually is after all.

I agree with this post, Some fans have called him much worse, and its his results he has to be judged on, more than a throw away comment.

Clearly, for some, losing football matches isn't a reason to sack him either.

[eire3382]

What does it matter how he views the fans? Its much more important that he does a good job as manager of the club..........

SACK HIM NOW!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

Gordon Brown called a lady from Rochdale something not dissimilar and that had a huge impact !

If Cameron called, for example, our police morons, do you think he'd still be sat in Downing St. ?

I think it is absolutely appalling to describe any of our supporters morons when being interviewed for TV and I see no reason why Glen would be wrong on this.

[roverandout]

the biggest moron of all, is steve kean himself.

It really made me angry when i heard that on the podcast. Sick to death of our views and opinions counting for nothing. I am finding it very difficult right now to feel connected to the club I love, because Venkys and Kean are royally ruining everything. People have been writing to the club for months, people who are passionate and hurting try to do something peaceful to highlight our discontent. He laughed and called supporters morons. I bet he would be devastated if this happened to Celtic/whoever he supports.

Rah.

Did I suggest Glenn was wrong?

Glad to see that you are a supporter of political correctness Mercerman

Morons?

for an interview, that is shambolic and has wasted all the praise I gave him for previous interviews, what a plonker.
