[Archived] Steve Kean's Future Set To Be Discussed

[roversfanben]

Australian fast bowler who plays for Kolkata in the ongoing Indian Premier League.I don't know but im guessing he met VR in Delhi.

Venky's sponsor Brett Lee, hence the meeting. Brett tweeted earlier that he had lunch with VR, after which Nick said he tweeted about Kean being removed as manager.

[BuckyRover]

He tweeted before saying he was going to meet his sponsors Venky's. He said they were really nice people. Hopefully we can see that at some point

[Pedro]

why is it so many people want recognition all the time on here. some make stories up and others state that they said such a thing weeks ago.

its not a p#ss#ng contest

hope to god he's gone. i dont care if its head of the indian academy. just as long as he's not at ewood

I said weeks ago that some make up stories on here

[roversoutsider]

It may get even better! Kamy just said he was told that Kean REJECTED the academy position! If that's true, surely he is by definition sacked?

He is going to be DOF.Of course he would reject the academy position.

[Clitherover]

Guys why all the fuss.Enjoy the moment.STEVE KEAN SACKED!!

I won't relax until I've seen it confirmed somewhere more official than an Aussie cricketer's twitter account.

[roversfanben]

You came across as bragging - but lets just put that down to over excitment of hopefully that imposter of a manager being removed...

If it seemed that way, then I apologise. I merely wanted to point out that this development didn't just happen overnight. Venky's knew for 2 weeks what they were going to do, and for 2 weeks us fans were left in limbo. Yet again, bad leadership.

[BigAlan]

I'll wait for the celebration for the minute. Need it confirming first. I can't believe so many have no idea who Brett Lee is!

[roversfanben]

I can't believe so many have no idea who Brett Lee is!

THIS!

[Baz]

Is Brett Lee now our manager?

Come on Venkys, let us know what's going on!

[roversfanben]

It's now after midnight in India. We won't hear anything official until at least tomorrow.

[superniko]

Just to add to this....Brett Lee plays for Kalcutta (Sp?) who play Pune tomorrow......kind of fits :0

[sjsbrfc]

I wonder how many Rovers fans are suddenly following Brett Lee on twitter?

I know I am

[AllRoverAsia]

I'll wait for the celebration for the minute. Need it confirming first. I can't believe so many have no idea who Brett Lee is!

I know of Brett Lee the cricketer but didn't know of his Venky connection. Thanks to those who explained.

IF Coco is not to be manager they MUST send him down the road knapsack on back. The scheming piece of crap will go out of his was to mess his replacement up.

[roverandout]

so he rejects the academy director role and desai decides to keep him on as manager, so we are back to square one!!

[BigAlan]

THIS!

What?

[mayo]

Kean's now been back in uk about an hour and a half apparently. Surely if he was still manager he wouldnt have been able to keep his gob shut so would have been straight on the phone to skysports....here's hoping the news is true - will be partying all weekend!!

[Andy]

I'll wait for the celebration for the minute. Need it confirming first. I can't believe so many have no idea who Brett Lee is!

I can't believe so many do know who he is!

You could tell me he was a heavyweight UFC champion and I'd still believe you.

Either way, hope he's right.

Anyone find any odds on Kean being sacked, I'd like to make some money on this to make it even sweeter

[John]

Any way you can search for a Tweet even if deleted or once it's gone it's gone??

[superniko]

Brett Lee ‏@BrettLee_58

In Pune now which is a great spot, went to see a sponsor of mine Venkys and caught up with Mr Venky for lunch. Nice to get out of the hotel

He posted this earlier which all links in...

[BRFC1995]

Perfectly simple, if you're a cricket fan you'll know who he is, if you're not you wont. He's an international player.

[McClarky]

The acorn has fallen......or has he?

[Mattyblue]

He's one of the fastest international bowlers in history. I thought the whole nation got dewy eyed when he and Flintoff embraced at Edgbaston in '05? No?

[bannedwidth]

For you roversfanben. Medal is in the post.
