[Archived] Steve Kean Millwall bound

[Lhrover]

I will @#/? my sides if he gets the Millwall job, confirmed six points for us next season.

There's a lot of nonsense managerial links so I don't believe it for one second.

But the "he wasn't given a fair chance argument" is rubbish. We had finished our last full season before kean in 10th, he took over in Xmas whilst we were again in about 10th then nearly relegated us at the end of that season from a comfortable position. Then the following season the protests started at around Xmas so he had nearly a full calendar year before people had enough.

Also the he left them in 3rd in the championship is an equally ludicrous positive spin as he took us down to said third position from mid table prem security. Would be like someone like stoke now having a manager relegating them and then the following season in 3rd in the championship having people saying he was doing a good job.

If it does get the job I will feel very sorry for millwall (or any fans he ends up with) who can see through bullshit but for those who peddle the above spins then they deserve him.

I hope he doesn't get it. Him and his slimeball agent don't deserve to make another penny out of the game.

[JWUpper]

Anybody else think this is a carefully orchestrated move by his 'agent'?

Set him up with a club whose fans have previous history of being trouble makers/hooligans, then if (when) he does terribly and leaves/gets sacked, he can once again use external factors (the fans) as the reason for him being terrible, while also in the media positioning rovers fans on par with the milwall lot?

...of course I'm sure the bastion of the game that is Steve Kean would never be part of anything like that.

[Darmond]

I wouldn't wish Kean on any club. Be interesting Rovers v Millwall next season if he got it.

[sharpysharps]

I hope he gets the job and I hope we absolutely crush them home and away

[T4E]

He'll get it and they'll beat us at Ewood.

The final insult.

[G Somerset Rover]

If ever a club deserved somebody like that.....

I REALLY hope he gets it.

[Wolves_Rover]

He'll get it and they'll beat us at Ewood.

The final insult.

On the final day of the season, with the loser getting relegated and the winner getting promoted.

The stuff that bad dreams are made of.....

Why is he Jim?, watching Allardyce brand football at Rovers was like watching paint dry and a lot of us wanted him out. I think it's more a case of be careful what you wish for though in hindsight. I'd definitely take hoofball and mid table Premiership mediocrity over where we are now.

Style of football is irrelevant. It's a results business and Allardyce knows how to get good results. Surprised you didn't realise that when he was here. Apart from a few numbskulls West Ham fans aren't complaining.

Kean was the worst of all worlds - poor football and poor results, plus the team generally looked unfit and demotivated.

Millwall and Kean are a perfect fit.

After reading some of the clueless crap on their site I really hope he gets the job and he ruins them like he did us. Another clubs fans may have some empathy for us. If he goes to other clubs and screws them with his self serving behavior then at least he'll be outed for what he and his representatives are.

[Stuart]

Personally, the thought of him ever doing a presser for any club turns my stomach.

Hope he gets whatever karma has in store for him.

Don't forget the way that behind the scenes, the club was totally restructured seemingly around him. Slimeball.

[Salgado Is A Hero]

Yer, but most people who defend him (non Rovers fans obviously) always seem to be under the impression that we were on his back from the off, which wasn't the case. He had a half a season of failure before hand that most people forget for some reason.

I read a comment a couple of months ago saying that he did well to keep us up in his first season.

Its been nearly 2 and a half years since it happened and thats the first time I've heard an Allardyce-critic admit that.

[martmitch]

I'd love it, just love it if Millwall got keaned over by kean, would prove to the world just what a kean he is

Shocking

[walk down bolton road]

He must have a good agent.

[arbitro]

A match made in heaven. When it goes the shape of the pear he will need more than a minder. Perhaps Myles will be offered a contract, Agnew will get a call and job offer, the local postman will need a lumbar support and the pubs in the area can look forward to record takings.

[SIMON GARNERS 194]

'' Well respected in the game.''

Poor Millwall.

[Rover_Shaun]

What are you all saying?

Myles tore up Exeter last season and featured in 29 minutes of heart stopping tackling action. They are still talking about it evnen now from Torquay to Clovelly

I'm not sure how but you've forgotten to mention his tackle in training. A vision of wonder etched forever in the memory of those there to witness it, and an iconic moment in the history of the game.

[rebelzero]

the real question here is (presuming this does happen) - will it feel better to beat Burnley next year or Milwall?

Personally the only thing that will make me feel better is when the perpetrators of crimes against our football club are publicly exposed, shamed and we can start the club afresh with Venky's gone. If there still is a club.

[T.J.Newton]

I hope Steve Kean does get another Managerial job, id find it fascinating to see how he does and if against all our expectations(from our experience with him) he does well, then id have to say fair play to him(begrudgingly of course!)

And maybe he could take his protégé's Danny Murphy & Orr to millwall with him.
