    Each to their own but I think its known I tegard that view as absolutely and utter nonsense. If you want to believe that to justify your non attendance or something like that fair enough but it's exactly the same Club it's been since 1875. We've just got poor owners.

    One day they'll l be gone and if we're still in existence we'll still be exactly the same Club then as well.

    Have you just got out of the shower and found it was just a dream?

    Honesty, integrity, hard work, passion, ambition, family, community, skill. It's all gone.

    It may have blue and white halves when it takes the field and that field may be at Ewood Park but everything tht made the club special has gone, for the time being. Venkys FC in all but appearance.

  2. Blackburn Rovers won't be relegated as Blackburn Rovers no longer exist. They were infected with a parasite 6 years ago and it has complety hollowed out its host. It may look like Blackburn Rovers but that club died quite a while ago.

    All we can cling to is the hope that some DNA still exists and one day it will flicker back to life.

    As for the "give him a chance" brigade. You make me sick. He deserves no chance. Nobody at the club deserves anything bar contempt and criticism.

  3. Vomit inducing. He's still trying to live off those two flukes

    A career that includes being the party pooper on Alex Ferguson's 70th birthday, and being tasked with helping the Prince of Brunei's club "grow up", cannot be described as ordinary.

    Steve Kean has gone from masterminding Blackburn Rovers' victory over Manchester United at Old Trafford on Ferguson's big day in 2011 to trying to turn Brunei DPMM into one of Southeast Asia's top teams.

    As the Scot enters the fourth year of his tenure at Prince Al-Muhtadee Billah's club and approaches his 50th birthday in September, he can express great satisfaction with his achievements on the pitch, including the development of his local players.

    Such atmospheres would have included the time his struggling Blackburn side went to Old Trafford and won 3-2 on Dec. 31, 2011, a week after claiming a 1-1 draw away to Liverpool.

    Those two results were not enough to prevent Blackburn's relegation at the end of the 2011-12 season. However, Kean remains proud of his achievement in sparing Rovers from the drop after taking over from Sam Allardyce the previous year when victory at Wolves on the final day ensured their survival.

    "I think staying up in my first year was the highlight of my time at Blackburn," said Kean. "Beating Manchester United at Old Trafford, and drawing with Liverpool at Anfield were big games, and brought in points at the right time. But staying up is probably the highlight because at one point we looked doomed."

    "I got pulled into things that I probably wasn't qualified to be talking about" - Steve Kean on his time as Blackburn Rovers boss

    FORMER Blackburn Rovers boss Steve Kean says he has learned lessons from his time at the helm at Ewood Park, and revealed: “sometimes I got pulled into things that I probably wasn't qualified to be talking about.”

    Kean left Rovers in September 2012, saying at the time he was ‘forced to resign’ after his position as manager became ‘untenable’.

    Kean was appointed Rovers boss in December 2010, with the club securing Premier League survival with a final-day win over Wolves.

    Rovers were relegated the following season however, with Kean leaving the club when they were third in the Championship.

    Reflecting on his time at Rovers in an interview with ESPN from his side’s pre-season camp in Bangkok, Kean said: “At Blackburn, because it was my first job as a manager, sometimes I got pulled into things that I probably wasn't qualified to be talking about.

    “When I was at Fulham, and when I was at Real Sociedad and Coventry, in the assistant manager’s role, I didn’t really get involved with other things.

    “But at Blackburn, I was being pulled into meetings and being asked about things like, in three years, what colour is the third strip going to be?

    “I think there are people who are better qualified to be in those kinds of meetings than me.

    “Now, looking back and reflecting on it, I’m quite strong. If I’m invited attend a meeting about the football side of the club, I’ll come.

    “If it's not and it’s about marketing, anything else about the club, I don’t really get involved.”

    Kean won just 21 of his 74 games in charge of Rovers, but that did include a 3-2 win at Manchester United on December 31 2011.

    However, he doesn’t include that as the standout moment of his time in charge, adding: “I think staying up in my first year was the highlight of my time at Blackburn.

    “Beating Manchester United at Old Trafford, and drawing with Liverpool at Anfield were big games, and brought in points at the right time.

    “But staying up is probably the highlight because at one point we looked doomed.”

    Kean took over the reins at Brunei 13 months after leaving Rovers, and admits it’s an experience he is thoroughly enjoying.

    “I’m a better manager because I’m spending time doing to the things I think I’m good at - on the training ground, improving the team,” he said.

    “We have a small population, and there’s only 23 professionals in the whole country, and that's our boys.

    “We’ve got what we’ve got, so I’ve probably spent many hours really looking at the players and then building the system and the shape and the style of play around them.”

    And he has no plans of leaving just yet.

    “I've signed a contract for another two years,” Kean said.

    “Provided we keep moving forward and keep expanding the club, I’m happy to stay.

    “I never expected to be in Brunei in the first place, but football makes the world a small place.

    “I’m enjoying it here but I don't have any target area. I don’t have any specific goal to get back to to the Premier League or to go to China or the MLS.

    “I’ll just keep working and if opportunities come, you can say yes or you can decide to stay.”
