  1. 1. So stay up or go down should we keep Super Steve 'Coco' Kean at the helm for next season??

    • Keep - But only if we stay up
    • Keep - Even if relegated
    • Sack - But only if we go down
    • Sack - Even if we stay up
    • Just like a puppet I have no opinion

Have SEM done a deal with Yahoo, Kean is all over the Dugout section.

SEM clearly have a great deal of influence at Sky Sports but I don't know about Yahoo. However, Yahoo do have a media partnership agreement with the League Managers Association of which Kean is a member.

From that article:

'We had Jason Roberts but he wanted to play regularly so he moved onto Reading. Michel is still here but he’s not playing at the moment, and his contract expires soon.'

As if Roberts, for all his limitations, couldn't have contributed to our otherwise woeful team. And I'm amazed that the interviewer has allowed him to get away with that Salgado line. Actually, I'm not amazed.

Interesting use of the term we've " We’ve got a great club. We’ve got a quick emergence of some fantastic young players. " Almost as if he knows something we don't, then this

"It’s been difficult, but I’ve got the beauty of coming here (the training ground) everyday and I’ve got a fantastic club. "

He totally fudges the question on senior players leaving but its never followed up (surprise). Nelsen is specifically mentioned in the question but not the answer! Nor is there any follow-up about replacements.

"Samba wanted to go" He's never asked "why?" Emerton was allowed to go "because we're building a new team"-----no reference from Kean about the damage all this has done.

The Salgado line is totally weak.

It would be interesting, if not already conducted, to have a poll on who people think is most responsible for our current predicament - Steve Kean or Venkys themselves?

It is obvious that Kean has been out of his depth for a long time but is it not the job of the owners to change management?

It's easy to say Kean should have done the decent thing and resigned but it would be interesting to see statistics relating to the number of managers who have resigned under pressure as opposed to those being sacked.

For me, it's Kean. Him and JA were clearly in on the deal while JW and Sam were in charge and everyone knows how he got the job. Venky's were clueless and got talked into it. Kean knew exactly what was going on and has played the media and Venky's like a fiddle.

It's abundantly clear to the vast majority of fans that Venky's are the root cause of everything amiss with Blackburn Rovers at this time. They hired the goon, stripped away authority at all levels, and sat on their hands as the club heads towards oblivion

The ire for Kean stems not only from his abject failure at impersonating a football manager, but from the fact he is the front man of the club in Venky's absence, and the way he has conducted himself in that role. While most struggling managers would like to keep a low profile, Kean can't keep his daft mug out of the limelight, becoming the official spokesman of the club. He spouts new levels of drivel and deceit that insults the intelligence of every Rovers fan on an almost daily basis. There is also the little matter of his conspiring with those behind the scenes to conduct a smear campaign against the fans, with his imagined tale of needing a bodyguard to protect him on the mean streets of Blackburn. It's bad enough having an incompetent manager, but if the man is also an unlikeable and dishonest individual, it's no wonder the fans find it so easy to direct their frustrations at him.

Interesting article in the Guardian on Big Eck. Interesting in that it broadly champions the cause of fans who want rid of their struggling manager. Contrast this position to the smug underwriting of Kean's horrible job performance by the national press corps.

I can't say I'm expecting widespread condemnation of the Villa fans' show of disquiet. It'll be interesting to see which side the punditocracy comes down on. To my mind McLeish is a gentleman at least. He just isn't up to the job at Villa Park. He certainly deserves more respect than Kean, given that he is an actual football manager (his recent managerial stints aside) but is he one the boys, one of the lads, an apparent insider like our toad of a pontiff?

I had to turn off the radio yesterday as screaming "So why do villa deserve this in depth programme with fans being allowed to complain openly about their manager, and we get nothing but abuse from the majority of the media" (or more concise words to that effect) at the radio whilst driving down narrow country lanes is not conducive to staying alive.
