One down, one to go.

[pancini]

Have just posted the same thread at same time so mods can lock my topic. Seems strange must have had a falling out with somebody

what's next?

[3rdpillar]

start of things to come? or a token jesture ?

[LeChuck]

Best news for a while. I really hope this means a Premier League experienced addition will be arriving in the backroom staff soon.

[Tom]

Kean to take his job please and a real manager to replace him!

[OJRovers]

This will make the football world take note...

[chris]

He might of decided that he doesn't want to be a number 2, it could be quite damaging to his career what Kean's doing and why should Jensen be under Kean, Jensen was far more successful in his career and even managed although flopped a little.

Dream scenario?

Kean gets sacked this afternoon after Jensen's departure. New manager comes in with backroom staff today.

Worst case scenario?

Kean remains in any position.

[T4E]

It's like giving everyone food poisoning then sacking the bottle washer.

Shuffling the deckchairs on the Titanic - has Ed Smith been relieved of his duties too ?

Kean has probably said that it is Jensen who has been telling him what to do with the team, substitutions etc and therefore Venkys have got rid of him and now giving Kean another 6 months to prove his worth!!!

[Grez]

I reckon Jensen gone, kean to be a no.2 and manager to come in

[Mattyblue]

Kean to be number 2?

Think of the damage to his pride and ego? I just cannot see him accepting it.

Some fudge where he remains number 1 in name only with a DofF calling the shots seems more likely.

Brian Robson and Terry Venables anyone?

I think a new manager would want to bring in his own prefered staff, dont you think?

It's a gt feel as venkys really dont want to let Kean go. If it's not the case... Then the last 8 months is all Jensen's fault and nothing to do with kean

That sounds worryingly plausible

Probably near the mark.

Kean will have told the owners Jensen is to blame for the poor results and needs to be replaced.

It's called covering your own back by sacrifcing a minion - career managers do it all the time.

[martonrover]

Agent ITK has tweeted O'leary to return to Premiership management. Please God no!

Maybe this is the case with someone like Benitez coming in as manager with Kean as number 2.

wouldn't rule this out.

also Agent_ITK has said that David O'Leary is being linked with 2 premiership clubs and 1 championship club. wonder if we are 1 of the premier league teams interest in him.

[Ricky]

The worrying thing is that I'd actually take O'Leary over Kean... that's how bad things are!!!!

If the talk of a DOF is true he will have a new 'human shield' soon.

[rebelmswar]

I feel sorry for Jensen.

Number two to Kean is much like being apprentice to Rainman.

Probably quit in fear for his career and Venkeys will now claim Jensen was the lone gunman while Kean grins on, sipping champagne on a deckchair on the grassy knoll.

I thought we already had a director of football at the club in Simon Hunt. He was named as a director of the club instead of the DoF title
