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

[gumboots]

guys ... heard rumour ... Didier Deschamps is being approached .... anyone heard same ??

Well Marseille are struggling this season so he might be prepared to come to us, jump before he's pushed.

[Kingstonians]

Steve Kean is often quoted as saying "we'll take the positives from the first half" or "although we lost to a late penalty we can take the postives from the performance" and so on ad nauseam. My question is -what does he do with all these 'positives' that he keeps taking? Surely the vast number of positives he has accumulated should by now have translated into points. Taking positives out of a game is utterly meaningless unless there is actually learning which can progress into real results. He cannot point to any positives which have then led to a satisfactory outcome the second time around- at least in my opinion.

'"Clueless and full of bullshit" should be his epitaph.

where have you heard this rumour from? good source?

[Billy Castell]

Just a note of warning, Shteve McClaren is currently talking to the Forest board after what I think was another loss (haven't checked the score). If he became a free agent, I can see the chicken overlords making contacts.

As for Dechamps, I'd take him, either as a manager or a player!!

[roverandout]

yep, brown sauce.

I was told by Glen Mullan yesterday that Venky's were in talks with Martin O'neill, which is why they weren't at the game.

If this is true this would be massive. However it directly contradicts what Kamy has told us, it sounds too much like good sense to be anything of Venkys doing and I'd be very surprised if he wanted the job.

Always found O Neill a bit overrated but he's still a good manager who I'd back to lift us out of the mess we're in, I'd be very happy but not holding my breath.

[Andy]

An underperforming O'Neill would be several shades better than Kean's best day as Rovers manager.

Get it done, Venky's.

[broadsword]

Best bit about that would be Kean shunted out to India. 6,500 miles is far enough away for. Would prefer further.

£200,000 and we could get Virgin Galactic to drop him off in space

[Stuart]

MON would be beyond our wildest dreams at this point.

I'll believe it when he's holding up his Rovers shirt, Akon-style next to a grinning Belaji Rao.

Which I somehow can't picture...

[Chorleyblue2]

Sack the clown now. MON would be great, my vote would be for Glen Hoddle .... This is my view not a rumour.

[John]

Martin O'Neill or any normal manager working with the Venkys, just can't see it!

Happy to pay for Kean's one way flight ticket to India.

[whalleyrover]

A colleague of mine was told last Tuesday that John Jensen was to be sacked, Kean was to manage the Academy in India, and Martin o'Neil was to be appointed manager! Itook it to be a rumour, but with Jensen subsequently sacked who knows.

[BuckyRover]

Please god.

Let's hope he doesn't see Forest as the more attractive option.

And the return

Mm, Martin O'Neill or Kean ? Let me think about that for a milli second !
