My golf game will obviously plummet after this.

I was doing so well with "Kean Out" written on my ball!

It will be amazing to see Rovers fans back against Wolves. You can never lose that historical atmosphere

Mike Bassett after his first game in charge when talking to the press " come on guys, we can take a lot of pluses out of the game" My becks nearly went over the telly!

Big Sam: "For the benefit of everyone, Steve left. The club is about the fans. From every point of view its right decision"

I seen that appear on twitter but is it real

I nearly went to look at a picasso in Blackburn for sale the other day in Blackburn it had a Kean out sticker in the window, i should have gone.....I bet he wants more now.

What an absolute relief that Kean is finally gone, never have I hated someone like I have hated Kean over the last 12 months.

Even at the end though he couldn't resist a dig by thanking the "majority" of fans for supporting him. Also I am sure that the timing of his resignation was designed to cause maximum disruption for the team, the players were all unaware of Kean's resignation. However for most of them it will also be a relief.

Looks like Venky's were offering him 8 months pay as compensation or put him on gardening leave. He will now go for "constructive" dismissal to try and get a bigger, I suspect that he will cite his authority being undermined and other managers being approached.

But all of that is for another day, for the moment let's enjoy this and look forward to a better future. There are still many things wrong at Ewood, much of it the doing of Venky's but at least one of the biggest problems has now been removed.

How's he going to prove authority being undermined when he hasn't even been in charge of incoming or outgoing players at rovers

[bob fleming]

Final word tonight, thank you to....

Nick Harris

Andy Cryer

Kamy

Martin Blackburn (if there are two I apologise)

To Mr Cryer... You always concentrated on the negatives. There were no positives. It can't have been easy. Cheers.

Scoring a goal against the Dingles certainly helped!

No idea at the moment. This caught everyone by surprise.

During the summer Balaji wanted Karl Robinson and Holloway. Venky was interested in Curbishley.

But now Shebby is on the scene I suspect he will have his own ideas, hopefully things will become clearer next week.

For the moment let's celebrate Kean being removed.

[RibbleValleyRover]

Venky's are on their last chance now, they have to get this new appointment right.

[davulsukur]

I wonder which club he and Anderson have lined up to F##k up next?

I posted before how I was surprised that he hadn't walked. I think him doing this might allow him to gain sympathy by playing the victim card.

Chances of him getting another managers job are slim but I would be good to see him vilified by another set of fans. People might actually get what we complained about for the last 2 years.

Any idea if they are going to be selling "freedom pies" around Ewood next home match Kamy?

Well done for all the honest reporting over the last 18 months. I have read all! and appreciated.

[cravenblue]

My head is starting to spin, my eyes are getting heavy, another beer anyone

[steverovers]

Well done to everyone who have worked so hard for this.....I salute all of you!

What a fantastic relief now I hope all his cronies follow him to get rid of ALL the rot.

[Kamy100]

I think that it very likely to be a "taxi for Aggers" next.
