  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

Kean is talking #### again.

we are in this mess because you are not manager and poor signings and team selections!!!

totally awful tactics!

Not buying quality players in the last 2 transfers windows.

Kean should have been never appoint as manager! Huge Mistake by venkys! will never understand why stand a proper manager for a novice. You would never do that in the business world so why in the football world!

The answer to that is obviously his agent!!

Tbh, it's got to the point where I roll my eyes and think 'Steve Kean in Bull$hit shocker..."

It does provide a certain black humour but it's nothing new. The man has been in the post entirely too long and will now ramble on for so long as anyone is willing to listen to his pitiful excuses and mind-boggling anecdotes.

Have to say, I was impressed by the passion on display from Martinez talking about 'our club' and 'our history'. Should Coco even think about impersonating that tomorrow, then we really would be watching a desperate man trying 'last gasp' tactics. Our club and our history for me have been on pause since he took over the reigns. Sorry SK but you will never ever be part of Blackburn Rovers' true history to me; you will be forever a part of the ruination of our history that decent people sweated blood to maintain.

Nothing Yakubu's done this year can be criticised. He's the reason safety is even in sight.

That said, the amount of effort that the media has expended this year writing these pointless positive stories is remarkable. Each one seems to paint what's happened to Rovers as a bit of a temporary blip, like there's nothing to be worried about.

Surely the real story is how the club has come to be in the toilet at all?

Agree matt, so he celebrated with Kean, if he likes him for taking a punt on him then he's entitled to do so

Yakubus been a class act since he's been here

Yakubu hasn't really said anything horrific in that article. It's fairly well balanced considering. He praises the fans and confirms they stick with the players (notice how he doesn't say the manager).

I think it would have been better to leave it with the original title. I don't think Yakubu says much that is too controversial.

Closest he gets is, "That was my first time fans booing their own manager, booing their own team," he says. Untrue that it was the fans booing the team.

However, he followed it up with...

"But for the past three to four months it's been good. You have to credit the fans, they stick together with the players."

What would Peter White have done? I think we all know. He'd have asked what he wanted and probably got banned but he wouldn't have stood for this.

Now I fully expect that the Editor at the LT has considered the consequences of this and they've made the decision to tow the line. Why? Is there anyone left that actually wants to read about Keans spin? His deluded view on things, his contradictions and down right lies? The owners won't even speak to the LT so why back them up? Why give them an easy ride?

If they want a story and to shift some papers it should be a case of "today we lift the lid on the scandalous Press Conferences that have been taking place at BRFC.... how we, and the national Press, aren't allowed to ask the questions you want answering....Well no more.... We are here to bring you our readers the news..... Not half a story.... It's a free press, or should be...." or something along those lines. It's the right thing to do. The alternative is that we just carry on as we are - and that is just a waste of trees.

Then again, maybe they're just waiting for the season to finish first? That could well be it.

100% correct. The LET needs to realise Rovers need them as much as vice-versa. Nothing personal against Cryer, but I reckon if Rovers where 'his' club, then the criticism would have been much higher and more sustained. I've always had the feeling he thinks Rovers fans are whiners and should be grateful for premier league football (which we are). The nice cozy situation the LET had with John Williams Is long gone. Having spent time living in the North East whilst a student I can guarantee their local papers would never stand for this nonsense of vetted questioning.

I don't think I'm misrepresenting his position. He does, after all, praise the manager for staying strong. The inference of course is that somehow the disquiet has been unwarranted:

"Recently, the anger at Venky's and calls for Kean's removal have resurfaced, after the slide from 16th back into danger. "He's really a tough guy when you look at the way he's handled it," Yakubu says of the manager. "There is big pressure, every game – look at the stadium, half [has] banners saying they don't want him, he must go, the owners must go. But he never brings pressure to the players. Sometimes when we play bad he comes to dressing room and says: 'No! What you are you doing?' But he sticks with the players."

The most concerning part about that is the suggestion that our debt is still at £25m. Why isn't it any lower after all the players sold?

Most of the money probably gone on agent fees, i wonder who recieved that :angry2:

I'm more concerned about Keans words 'No! What you are you doing?'. No wonder we look all over the place everyone just confused with his instructions.

And yet, listening to Talksport briefly before i turned the radio in my car off, I heard them yet again saying that kean is doing a good job in the circumstances. I was screaming "Circumstances he helped to create!" They still see him as the victim instead of one of theinstigators of our downfall.

I no longer listen to that drivel of a station its the equivalent of reading the daily star, lol. At the end of the day this sorry saga has turned me right of sports reporting as it's blatantly one rule for one and another for the rest.

Obviously principles and integrity no longer matter, disgraceful.

i don't often listen to them either but I like hawksbee and jacobs on a friday afternoon, hence why it came on because i was listening on my way home from work on friday and haven't been out in my car since.
