[Archived] Steve Kean resigns!

[T.J.Newton]

Can anybody confirm that Kean is now 100% completely out of the scene and having no say what so ever at rovers?

[ABBEY]

NOWT THESE IDIOTS DO WOULD SHOCK ME

[neekoy]

In all seriousness though, this isn't a win case, this is a settle out of court to stop your name being dragged further through the mud case

[Paul]

When exactly did Sam take legal action, though? A few weeks ago? Or before then?

It was rumoured some months ago shortly after the HK video appeared. I think we can confidently assume its now been quietly buried beneath a pile of cash.

[DE.]

It was more than a rumour tbf, his spokesman confirmed legal action was being taken:

More like nut case

[1864roverite]

Where is this idiot hiding ? Surely must be suffering the lack of media attention and his bum licking oppos at SKY

[broadsword]

Either larging it up in Portugal or getting a cavity search from Mrs Desai

if it's the former I hope he gets alcohol poisoning

[rhodie]

Lol it really cheers me up when I come on this site and see the title of this thread.

HAD GOOD FUN WINDING A DINGLE UP YESTERDAY HAHA...told them it was settled out of court and numb nuts was in Burnley.Offered him breakfast bet and hook line and sunk ha.

Funny seeing Charlie Nicholas on Sky Sports criticizing Craig Levein as Scotland manager. What a hypocrite.

He's now just been asked if there's a better man for the job. Funnily enough no mention of his mate Steve.

Says he's not impressed by the young managers coming up.

It's weird. Nothing appears to have changed much since he's left aside from the results. Could it be that we were better off (in terms of getting promotion this season and taking out moral qualms etc) with him?

Kean right off

[braddock]

You failed to answer the question.

I answered it, maybe you didn't understand the reply

[braddock]

I can't imagine you did too well with written examinations.

Maybe that is your problem, no imagination

Well i suppose we have to make allowances, your location being Rishton

[braddock]

I imagine those who have me on ignore don't appreciate you quoting me in your posts.

I am sure they will let me know, how many are there?

I don't think so, it was obvious we were about to come off the rails under Kean. Take into account the games we pulled out of the bag at the death then the Boro result and performance we were only going one way. Black has changed very very little apart from tightening up the middle so it's almost same as. I'd say the games we have drawn under him we would have lost under Kean the way it was going. There is nothing to suggest any different going off the last 2 years.

You're perfectly allowed to score at any point during the football match. We were winning games under him. Hopefully we will win again under a new manager (and hopefully we will under Black for as long as he stands in) but the fact of the matter is we haven't been doing since Kean left.

We'd been playing shockingly all season and ragged our victories. We then lost against Middlesbrough, playing the same way.

Fairly likely we would have continued to lose with SK still there......

For 50% of the last three games Black has tried a completely different system to the one Kean employed by playing Olssen and Orr as wing backs. At half time in the Wolves game he changed the system to a more conventional 4-4-1-1. He changed in the first place as he said we were conceding too many goals, far too open at times and to a degree he has adressed that. It's just now that we are not scoring enough or creating enough chances.

Somebody I trust told me on Saturday that under Kean we never worked on defensive shape in any sessions at all. Black has now got Hendry more involved in this.

It was undoubtedly party time to see the back of Kean, but what exactly has changed? All his resignation has done is emphasize what a farce we really are behind the scenes. All this talk from our resident ITKers about Kean being "only days away from the sack" was complete dreck, as proven by our bungled search for his replacement, converging towards Billy McKinlay of all people. I will never agree with braddock that we'd have been better with Kean. His presence blighted this club both on and off the pitch. However, this travesty didn't begin with Kean and it certainly won't end with him.

Nothing has changed. The Chicken keaners are still in charge. As I have said for 2 years the Venkys are the illlness, Coco was only a, rather nasty, symptom.
