Rovers: No statement today on Kean's future

Steve Kean Steve Kean

BLACKBURN Rovers will not be releasing a statement on Steve Kean's future today - as his managerial position continues to hang in the balance.

As revealed in the Lancashire Telegraph this morning, lengthy talks have been held by the owners over Kean's future with a decision to replace him understood to be all-but made.

Rovers have this morning declined to comment other than to say there will be no statement today, with negotiations expected to continue.

that means offering a contract extension tied him in and now they dont want to pay him off. No doubt kean is being awkward and holidng out for the cash, hardly like he will ever be able to manage another club again.

Well here we go with all the second class options for manager.
Maybe if we had done this in the summer there would have been a little more choice.
However ...... I dont suppose they are going to want to pay out big compensation to another club to get a good proven manager at this level..

Olly at Blackpool would be my choice.... great football on a tiny budget and the sort of character that might pull the club together.

"you can't sack me I'm Steve Kean I'm unsackable" unfortunately this appears still to be the case. We have been here a number of times before with Steve Kean on the brink newspaper tails. Does Steve Kean look and act like he's under the impression he's about to be sacked doesn't look like it to me.

critic321 says...
10:56am Mon 24 Sep 12

Of the managers available, Mick Mccarthy would be the best one - honest down to earth person but I dot think he could work with Venkys.

One of the option mentioned is Tim Sherwood. I know from a Spurs friend of mine who is in the know at Tottenham says he is very ambitious. He wants too prove himself at a club. He has done a great job win developing young players at Tottenham with likes of Caulker, Livermore, Townsend all growing under his leadership. Thats why he wasnt sacked along with Harry.

I know some of us wants a experienced manager. But to me he is extremely ambitious and he was a ex-BRFC title player who played nearly 250 games for us. He KNOWS us and he IS us and he has learned his trade in one of the most professional coaching setup working with some
world class players.

Give the job to Sherwood...

Been here before. Unless they are discussing replacements there is nothing to negotiate. IF he does go then Sherwood/Black are not the answer. We desperately need experience - Billy Davies or Mick McCarthy are what we need. Unfortunately both of those have self respect and honour and would not even entertain these morons.

On previous form, these liars could well be whetting the appetite of impatient Rover's fans to get them to impulse buy and swell the pathetic season ticket sales.

Publicity is the only name of their game , so far nothing has changed.

It's clear from a lot of posts on here that many are jumping the gun and imagining life without the unsackable tirant, and even suggesting what these publicity seekers will do for the love of football.

It hasn't happened up to now, so why should they start ?

When fans pay and watch, whatever they shout is just classed as burley banter, sticks and stones etc, so
the only yardstick they have to see customer's dissatisfaction is an embarrassingly empty Stadium.

Davies and Mccarty are joke managers I would boycott Ewood if w got either.Olly at 'Pool is ok but we want a winner Dalgish,Hoddle,Redkn
app would be my first choices.Pleas no rookie managers.

Forever-Blue says...
11:02am Mon 24 Sep 12

You are all talking about big name managers, WHY ??

Kean is still here and even when / If he goes, do you really expect Venkys to employ a expierenced top class manager. Not a chance people. The job would be offered to Black / Hendry to the end of the season, with a ' Chance To Prove Themselves '

At best it would be someone like Tim Sherwood or Flitcroft.

Davies, McCarthy, Curbishley YOU HAVIN A LAUGH

Willrover says...
11:22am Mon 24 Sep 12

Blooming hypocrites......
One of the reasons some Rovers fans hated Kean from the start was because he was not viewed as a "proper" manager........

Well now's your chance to get a "proper" manager......Steve Bruce, Mick McCarthy and Roy Keane are all unemployed and have a fine record of relegation and under achievement - but hey they are "proper" managers lets fill our boots. Idiots.

Oh Sherwood mmmm he's not a "proper" manager yet have you forgotten how he sold us out under Hodgson?! Short memories. And he's "just" a coach, even Kean has a better reputation as a coach. And Wilkins?!!! Please.

Harry Redknapp.......hmmmm lets run this one past the common sense police.....he took his eye off the ball because he was in the running for the England job? Or was it actually because he was really holding out for Rovers? Plus the fact that he refuses to move from his millionaires row pad in Dorset, so I can see that really working.

Apparently Bill Shankly, Herbert Chapman and Bob Paisley would love the chance.......

Back in the real world...Flitcroft would be interesting but one hell of a punt, Holloway must have had tons of offers and realistically is he all that good? His teams can rarely defend either!

critic321 says...
11:24am Mon 24 Sep 12

Those who think we can get Olly are clearly deluded. He will ever leave Blackpool middle of the season, when he has team wh are in cusp of being top of the league. He had Premier league offers last season, he didnt take it , stayed with Blackpool.

And same goes true for othr big name managers- some mentioning Benetez & Harry. Their salary demands cannt be kept even if they somehow decide to come to BRFC.

Best option is Mccarthy but he has too much self respect to join us. I see our list of available managers who are experienced are very thin.
That is why I dont mind us going for Sherwood. I am a realist, knowing Venkys how they are they will never appoint anyoe big time.

Also I see them appointing a man who is ex-Blackburn player or manager just to get the fan on their side. He is good enough but problem is some of us wont like his signing being inexperienced. Its a understandable concern. If there was more suitable canidate AND willing to join us, I welcome whoever it is open hands, But if not, I dont mind seeing a ex-BRFC player taking over the reigns.

Can I just say that I would love olly yes he doesn't defend well but he attacks amazing gets players to play well together and he will only have players we already have to work with. We don't have many defenders so an attacking manager makes sense to me. But I don't think he will come let king Kenny try Ithink he would be brilliant and we would be behind him. We might be what he needs and he is definitely what he needs only problem is would venkys give him the freedom he likes.

Got enough ice for the next 24hours. But Kean better be removed entirely. No hanging on in some coaching role (unless the Pune academy thing).
I don't think Sherwood was mooted as manager, but as assistant.

John Bumhead says...
11:32am Mon 24 Sep 12

Kean has too much vested business interest in the club and Venkys for them to be able to dislodge him very easily - he'll be a poisonous influence in the backroom staff for another manager, and too much conflict with Shebby to move him upstairs. So where does he go? He's rooted quite deeply so unless a lot of cash is directed his way, he won't be going anywhere. I guess this is what is being discussed behind the scenes.

Exactly!
I don't doubt that Sherwood could be interesting but clearly he wouldn't be around for long if anyone bigger came along...........but all he is is a relatively well respected coach - which is what Kean was.

It will be interesting to see what the crowd is for the next home game with Kean gone...according to many of the writers on here they will only return when Kean is gone....or will they then qualify it with Kean Venkys hendry Singh, etc etc

According to many we should be seeing 20k plus....well I will eat my hat if that happens because at the end of the day its free to write on the website it costs money and you have to make the effort to go down to Ewood.

The good news is hopefully the club will act now and sack Kean once and for all....it is the ONLY decision that can be made for the good of the club overall. This would then unify the support once more....I just hope this is the end to the rift and the protesters draw a line under it and back Venkys (who have re-invested in the club recently) and the new manager because we need all the supporters acting as one to get what we all want promotion back to the Premier League because watching the football we have seen so far this season, the quality is miles apart from what we have seen in the Premiership.

scottish W****R. I have said all along that the FA needs to hold an official inquiry into the running of BRFC, but I somehow don't think it will happen. They have bigger fish to fry like trying to make an example of John Terry.
When they do get rid HRH Kean and I say with tongue in cheek WHEN.
I hope they have the balls to go for somebody like Olly from Blackpool.
He has done tremendous work for Blackpool, a great charachter and well respected in Football circles . Here's hoping!

Ole Solskaer would be my choice if we are looking at a young manager on the up - Molde gave him permission to talk to Villa earlier this year but he apparently doesn't want to move back to England yet. You would assume he has his eyes on the Utd job one day so needs to time his move back to the UK.

Berg would be interesting as he's unemployed - got sacked by Lillestom lasy year but was relatively successful at Lyn, a smaller club before.

Basically I don't want one of the dinosaurs taking over - the game has moved on.

Ooops good spot - I'd give him a year at Hull before he's heading to the job centre though. And thank fcuk he isn't free! One less dinosaur who could be employed by us.

Like McCarthy he's a dinosaur and frankly a very very average to poor manager. Am sure McCarthy could get us up - but am equally sure we would be heading straight back down afterwards.

Venkys will then finally realise that fans are nt mugs and won't have the p1ss taken out of the club without a fight and that Mr Porky Pie had been manager far far far too long.

Do you really think a Redknapp or someone of that standard is going to come to Blackburn knowing what they know about Venkys. The only managers that would entertain these fools would be someone who has fond memories of the club in the past (Parkes, Souness, Tugay, Flitcroft, Sutton, Shearer, Sherwood) or someone who cant get a premiership or championship job anywhere else.

Clearly Steve Kean isn't the only person suffering from self delusion.......

When was the last time we ever averaged 25000 without the help of a huge away following from Utd, scousers etc?!!!

Dream on.
If Kean is fired then there'll be a couple of thousand more - say 17 to 18000 very max.

OnePostThenTheOther says...
12:12pm Mon 24 Sep 12

My understanding is that Venkys don't have authority to sack Kean because they delegated "footballing matters" to SEM/Kentaro and their operative Kean. Therefore, in order to ditch Kean completely they need to dissolve the contractual relationship with the gnomes. Kean probably also has to refuse the job of pooper-scooping the kids' pitches in Pune first.

Plus everyone south of Birmingham still thinks its the fans fault we got relegated because of the protests so that would rule out a few potentials, and then there is Shebby Singh asking newspaper journalists for a list of players Blackburn should sign and then signing three of them. We wont get a decent manager till Venkys have gone.

Venkys will then finally realise that fans are nt mugs and won't have the p1ss taken out of the club without a fight and that Mr Porky Pie had been manager far far far too long. Fingers crossed part of the 2 year nightmare is coming to an end!
Clearly Steve Kean isn't the only person suffering from self delusion.......

When was the last time we ever averaged 25000 without the help of a huge away following from Utd, scousers etc?!!!

Dream on.
If Kean is fired then there'll be a couple of thousand more - say 17 to 18000 very max.
Dream on? read what I wrote: 'without getting too carried away' and 'wouldn't it be great'.....I am well aware that we don't average 25,000 and I actually said the next home game......not an average throughout the season.

I have to say this Is by no means clear cut although it should be, if any one down at Ewood Park had half a brain they would just sack him once Big Sams Lawsuit was finished.
This in any form of employment comes under Bringing the Company into disrepute, a sackable offence, then there is drink driving, and being drunk and using foul language on an official BRFC trip, the most obvious to all the fans was the lies and relegation.
The downside for the fans is it could be a couple if months away before Big Sam gets hold of kean in the courts.I like many do wonder what hold Kean has down at Ewood because they have several good reasons to get rid but the owners don't, it will all come out in the wash soon I expect!

He just needs more time. He has shown that he knows what he is doing by buying GOALSCORERS like Rhodes and Gomes. It is the purchases Kean has been able to make since theyve released funds that have got us into the position we are now. I am a season ticket holder and am throroughlly enjoying this season so far. The results are good (until this weekend) and the football is even better. Perhaps if all the moaners at the groud cheered we woud be able to contend against the likes of Blackpool

Hendog- I agree the results have been good but honestly the football is not good!! The performances have been inept & kamikaze at times. We have no idea how to defend as a team and I dont mean just the back four but the midfielders and the strikers aswell... this is down to one person & thats Kean. He is not a master tatician nor does he have any concept on how to set a team up... if he goes its good riddance

I think if your not spot on you are very near but maybe SEM/Kentaro will relinquish their hold early beleiving they have milked enough.If not we will have to wait till November when the deal probably ends.
Doncaster Rovers had a similar deal with Willie Mckay who seems to have walked away when they were relegated.

SK: OK if you must, but my global advice is to sack Shebby cos I don't like him.
Mrs D: What if I make Balaji manager?
SK: OK, and I'll advise him, sounds perfect.
SS: No, I'm global adviser, I'll advise him.
SK: Look, I know best, make Black the manager, I'll be first team coach and pick the team, the fans will all come back and we'll be playing in Europe before you know it.
SS: Look Mrs D, I like a challenge. I've done well as global advisor, so make me manager, Balaji can coach and make Kean Director of Football.
Mrs D: What if I make Balaji, Shebby and Eric Black all joint managers? 3 heads are better than 1. And with Kean coaching and advising, it's win-win all round!
SK: No way! I don't like Shebby bossing me.

Tomorrow's Statement:
Mrs D: Steve Kean has graciously stepped down as Rovers Manager. As he is Rovers through and through and will do anything to help his beloved club and fans we have made him Director of Football. Shebby Singh has done a wonderful job as Global Advisor and so we are rewarding him with the manager's job. He knows football inside out, has vast experience and is always up for a new challenge. He will work alongside Balaji who will be joint manager and who knows more about football than anybody else in India that we know of. Shebby and Eric Black will work closely together at Ewood, whilst Balaji will work closely with Stevie W_n_er via Skype, mobile phone and email as we bring the latest technological advances to Rovers making us certainties for promotion.

When they do get rid HRH Kean and I say with tongue in cheek WHEN.
I hope they have the balls to go for somebody like Olly from Blackpool.
He has done tremendous work for Blackpool, a great charachter and well respected in Football circles . Here's hoping!
Well said....the FA are an absolute joke, far too concerned on condemning John Terry. Not sticking up for the bloke as I think he really is a clown but he has been cleared by the British courts so that should be the end of it. They would rather focus on looking PC friendly by becoming overly involved in a case that's already been settled. However, they're happy to overlook instances like Portsmouth and Rovers which affects thousands of fans who hold the respective clubs close to their hearts.

Fact is if it was a Man Utd, Arsenal, Chelsea etc. who were involved in a similar situation the FA would nip it in the bud at the start as these clubs are too much of an asset to the premier league to allow their rapid demise but small town clubs like Rovers & Portsmouth unfortnately aren't high up on the agenda...it's things like that which make people fall out of love with football.

Unfortunately in view of our league position I feel it is more likely he will be given an improved contract than be sacked. Especially when if I remember correctly his contract is due to expire at the end of this season anyway. When he took over in December 2010 he signed a 2.5 year deal.

If there is going to be a statement tomorrow then this can only be a good thing. I cannot image what else could be announced, other than Kean is going or has signed a new deal. However, has it actually been confirmed there will be a statement? All I have heard is that Shebby Singh will be available to speak tomorrow. This could be about anything, not necessarily the managerial situation.

The parallels between now and the summer are remarkable. Gossip about Venky's discussing his position and him being on the verge of the sack give thousands false hope. I expect him to still be manager for at least the next two games. Things will get really interesting if we lose at Charlton & Forest. Shebby's '3 games' will be reached and if Kean didn't go after that then I think we would all know that Kean is involved higher up than appears and that Shebby would have to resign.

Do you really think a Redknapp or someone of that standard is going to come to Blackburn knowing what they know about Venkys. The only managers that would entertain these fools would be someone who has fond memories of the club in the past (Parkes, Souness, Tugay, Flitcroft, Sutton, Shearer, Sherwood) or someone who cant get a premiership or championship job anywhere else.

Apparently Bill Shankly, Herbert Chapman and Bob Paisley would love the chance....... Back in the real world...Flitcroft would be interesting but one hell of a punt, Holloway must have had tons of offers and realistically is he all that good? His teams can rarely defend either!
Bruce is in a job (at Hull City)...and why would we employ Flitcroft who manages a team 8th place in the evo-stick premier?? Mick McCarthy for me...seems a no brainer. No compensation to pay out and he has solid evidence of getting teams promoted. The squad is easily good enough to walk this league...with a proper management setup in place.

No compensation to pay out and he has solid evidence of getting teams promoted. The squad is easily good enough to walk this league...with a proper management setup in place. Let's a least get back into the Premier and take it from there.

Your as daft as Kean. No team plays 1 striker upfront unless thier away at old trafford. You'll notice the "one up top" formation generally forms into a "three up top" formation when in possession of the ball, something the BRFC formation fails to transform into.

We are always an immense leap better when Kean changes it at 75 mins to add another striker.

Experienced, dynamic, hungry,, humble, professional, galvanizing, and an absolute grasp of what BRFC means to so many people.

He has to hit the ground running organize this team building on the already obvious talents up front while making defending a top priority.

Find the balance once again with the supporters by being as honest as is possible. Banishing this torrid divisive situation that as engulfed the whole football club for nigh on 2 years.

The odious one deserves to be relieved of his supposed managerial duties, and let us hope that the correct decision is made ?

Henning Berg along with the likes of Tugay and finding a defense coach such as a Steve Bould, who is doing a mighty fine job at Arsenal.

Shebby's a big mate of Peter Reid from their long period of Singapore based punditry and is a self confessed Spurs fan who no doubt knows Tim very well so don't be surprised at that as a pairing.
If the contractual rumour about SEM was correct, how did Shebby select and sign 3 players?
Sherwood is ambitious and knowledgeable and was a good club captain who proudly held aloft the Premier League trophy at Anfield. 250 games for the club and a fantastic link to the Jack Walker dream, he and Dalglish could make a good pairing too with Black also retained.

Please note a football club is not a business in the conventional sense. You own the shares, you own the company. But we, the fans, are the beating heart of Blackburn Rovers. Without us, the supporters, what is the club? It is time to end this war between you as owners and us as fans. In Kean you made a mistake. Admit it. Correct it. We will forgive you. Together we can restore order to Ewood Park and make it the castle BRFC deserves.

Kean has too much vested business interest in the club and Venkys for them to be able to dislodge him very easily - he'll be a poisonous influence in the backroom staff for another manager, and too much conflict with Shebby to move him upstairs.

There are dozens of good reasons to sack him so why the delay? Is there more to him than just manager? Ask yourselves why we've signed old, past it players along side unheard of Portuguese youngsters. Something not right about all of it and maybe agents fees have something to do with it. I hope the possibility of him going is not yet another straw for the fans to clutch at and this time they mean it. If he goes then it is very important that he is completely out of the club and someone whose integrity is beyond question is brought in as a replacement.

Gary Neville would be the man to take a chance on.

He's not a million miles away from where Hughes was at when he came to us, although Hughes was slightly further down his managerial career than Neville when he managed us, but we are in the championship now, not the Prem.

Gary Neville talks sense and knows the game. No disrespect to Shearer, but he just doesn't come across as clued up as him. Not by half

As Abba say....Take a chance!
You having a laugh? He's a pundit no more. That doesn't equate to management. Hansen will tell you that. Hughes already had management experience before he came to us. Neville has none. FFS we need a proper manager. Have you learnt nothing from our experiences with kean? Or ince for that matter. One a top player one a no-mark but both had no experience at a decent top level. Let's get someone in who is already proven. There are plenty out there

Everyone plays one up these days - 4411 or 4231 or some sort of variant of that. This obsession with playing 2 out and out strikers is from the dark ages.

And to be fair you kill your own argument - Gomes and Rhodes would be more of a 4411 as he will sit in the hole anyway!

I cant see Venkys paying him off and then paying out for a top manager so if Kean got the push we would probably end up with another dumbbell.

All I have to say is shame on you Venkys for doing this.....shame on you Steve Keen for bring our club down to such a level and lying to us all....shame on you, the media for not wanting to find out the truth and report it.....and shame on all football supporters out there from other clubs that have been eager and willing to jump on the band wagon to ridicule and slander the good name of our club and its supporters, supporters that have had to sacrifice their attendance at the club they love and cherish in order to make a strong enough statement to all that things are not right and need to change.....and not because we have been relegated from the so called crown jewel of the football world, the 'Premier League'.
Well said. In my opinion perfectly true. By the way if Kean does go(and that is not certain) i sincerely hope that all the stay away fans return just to show the Venky's and the rest of the country that a point was well made. I also hope the spartans and the stayaways unite in their support of BRFC.
I dont believe as many will return as would have some time ago. Venkys have missed the moment of opportunity. Some fans will now have found other things to do with time and money. Habits are easily lost and it will take some time to get back to where we were at with attendances. At the beginning of the season, fans would have been queuing for STs if Kean had been sacked. Days have darkened, weather worsened, the routine broken, money spent elsewhere. They are idiots, short sighted clueless idiots.

Venkys will then finally realise that fans are nt mugs and won't have the p1ss taken out of the club without a fight and that Mr Porky Pie had been manager far far far too long. Fingers crossed part of the 2 year nightmare is coming to an end!
Clearly Steve Kean isn't the only person suffering from self delusion.......

When was the last time we ever averaged 25000 without the help of a huge away following from Utd, scousers etc?!!!

Dream on.
If Kean is fired then there'll be a couple of thousand more - say 17 to 18000 very max.
Dream on? read what I wrote: 'without getting too carried away' and 'wouldn't it be great'.....I am well aware that we don't average 25,000 and I actually said the next home game......not an average throughout the season. Just trying to bring a bit of positiveness and what a contrast it would be from the low gates of late.
2010/11 average attendances 24.999 , next home game v Forest and with kean out 25k is very possiible , feel the force .

Kean is 'untouchable is he 77'sss?

Well in India that would mean:

In the Indian society people who worked in ignominious, polluting and unclean occupations were seen as polluting peoples and were therefore considered as untouchables.

The untouchables had almost no rights in the society. In different parts of India they were treated in different ways. In some regions the attitude towards the untouchables was harsh and strict. In other regions it was less strict.

In regions where the attitude was less strict the untouchables were seen as polluting people and their dwellings were at a distance from the settlements of the four Varna communities.

The untouchables were not allowed to touch people from the four Varnas. They were not allowed to enter houses of the higher Varnas. They were not allowed to enter the temples. They were not allowed to use the same wells used by the Varnas. In public occasions they were compelled to sit at a distance from the four Varnas.

In regions where the attitude towards the untouchables were more severe, not only touching them was seen polluting, but also even a contact with their shadow was seen as polluting.

If, because of any reason, there was a contact between an untouchable and a member of the Varnas, the Varna member became defiled and had to immerse or wash himself with water to be purified. In strict societies, especially among the 'Twice Born' (the three top Varnas) the touched 'Twice Born' also had to pass through some religious ceremonies to purify himself from the pollution.

If the untouchable entered a house and touched things of a Varna member, the Varna members used to wash or clean the places where the untouchable touched and stepped.

In some incidences the untouchables who associated with the Varna members were beaten and even murdered for that reason. Some higher hierarchy Jats also had servants whose job was to go or walk before the high Jats members and announce their coming to the streets and to see to it that the streets would be clear of untouchable people.

Poor wee Stevie - from the Gorbals to the Gutter?

Might be a better idea to go for the manager of Huddersfield. Simon Grayson
Just won promotion.
Going well.
Pumping Blackpools arse at home.
Knows Jordan Rhodes inside out so can get best out of him.
Just like Rhodes would relish a jump to a big club.

Used to working for interfering arseholes like Ken Bates so Venkys would be no problem.

If Kean does not go tomorrow the fans need to unite to boycott until he does.

OK,Lets look at the worst scenario, Kean manages to convince the Indians that he is the paleface to lead the club to the promised land. He promises glory this season or he will leave fort Rovers. The Indians know he speaks with forked tongue,yet smoke pipe of peace and keep him as brother. Should angry settlers declare war against the forked tongued paleface and refuse sanctity of fort Rovers and use iron horse and horseless carriage to make trips away and not attend fort Rovers.
Just in case I know they are not American Indians,but the message is clear, if Kean is not removed out of the club,not sideways, why not ALL supporters stay away in protest or as many as possible lets have a gate of less than 5000,they have admitted that low gates are a concern,so lets give it to them just once to show what we can achieve when united.
Com on we can beat Kean and his gang, lets do it together.

Huddersfield, a solid unit all the way through the team from keeper to Striker, Rovers top heavy up front then F*all in midfield and defence.

So you're a Huddersfield fan then? Maybe we will come back for grayson once we have ousted Uncle Fester. The reason the fans are staying away is to oust this imposter. Is there a manager in the entire league with a worse record? I think not. The decision was not taken lightly but as there has been a media led campaign to discredit rovers fans its easy to understand how you can be easily fooled.
Google Ali Dia, he was an imposter footballer also and yet he still played more professional games than Steve Kean, the guy is a con man but we saw that the king had no clothes on whilst yourself and all the media pundits said what fine clothes he was wearing. Steve Kean is an imposter. Google his career, there isn't one.

Yes just one of the many through out the country that come on here telling us whats wrong with the club without knowing the facts.I suggest you make the effort in getting all the facts behind the running of this club before posting your crap on here. Stick to reading the anti fans rags if you want the crap as you obviously do. You are just like all other so called fans nationwide,its ok for Rovers to have Kean and his gang,but would not like him in charge of their team. I am telling you now,if you did know the facts behind the fans revolt,you would sympathize with us,not condemn us. Pathetic describes you more than us we know whats going on,you don't.

You pathetic TEWAT
You know I'm right my little sweetheart, what's pathetic about that? Huddersfield, a solid unit all the way through the team from keeper to Striker, Rovers top heavy up front then F*all in midfield and defence. Rhodes is plain and simple a greedy little boy who wants to eat more sweets than his tummy can handle, the premiership glory days are over and teams like Huddersfield are not only on a par with Blackburn but have overtaken them. It's going to be a fantastic battle for the championship this season but one thing's for sure, Rhodes will be sat there at the end thinking why he chose to make the greedy move over football glory. Hope you have a sleepless night tonight Jordan.
Whatever and wherever Jordan Rhodes ends up in the future, one thing is or sure he will be bigger and achieve more than Huddersfield town ever will that is a fact! Swallow your bitter pill now Harry.

Does the lying slaphead still travel to India every month to lick the owners' arses? Cos no self-respecting decent manager would do that. And another thing, if Kean was offered another role at the club he would gladly take it whereas anyone with an ounce of pride would leave alrogether.

What about Roy Keane as a replacement? Not much success in the PL I know, but he stormed the championship.

Well Kean has certainly taken all the fans for a ride! After the game Friday he thought how can I get back at them? I know I will spread a rumour I am to be sacked. That should wind em up no end. They will be over the moon with joy. Then Monday night I will burst their bubble by getting that git Shebby to announce I am going nowhere. That should get the fans goat up good and proper.

Welcome back Matthew. Where have you been? Have you been in hiding after the defeat Friday? Crying in you bed. If Kean is here for the whole season then you can forget promotion. No way will he get us up. Venky's obviously have no say in Kean's tenure of the Rovers.

I always thought that a football club was about the fans but clearly BRFC is about Steve Kean, this was Venky's chance to unite the club and fans but once agian they have bottled it. They could spend £100 million and win he next 50 games yet still many of us will not return until Kean has gone. This surely proves that Kean has some hold/control over Venky's because even they are surley not so stupid to put up wth this idiot unless they have no choice.

Optimsm has been replaced by pure anger this morning due to the stark realisation that Kean is going no where. I smelt a rat yesterday when I was informed that Kean was overseeing training- nothing seems to add up.

If the owners decide Kean has a stay of execution then its 100% apparent that we as fans have no relevance to this club any longer & the only way we can rid ourselves of this crooks is by staying away. Its pains me to say that as over the past few weeks I have advocated supporting the team but after this latest 'smokescreen' its vital something drastic is done.

Kean in my opinion has a hold over the club... whether it be he has a % in the stake of the club or whther its something to do with J.A and his agency (I thinks its the latter). However, there is a reason that Kean is almost 'untouchable'.

I do not like to see any manager sacked however surely it has to be time to relieve the club of this fool... I mean he's bled us dry for the past 2 years picking up his 1million a year salary.. surely he has saved enough for a poolside villa in the Algarve because let's face it he will never get another job in football!!

I feel very despondant!!!

Unbelievable it looks like Kean is staying - we all thought he was going to Walk On but now all our dreams and hopes are dashed and torn! Again. The mans middle name is Teflon for sure.

That means we will miss out on taking Keith Hill as a possible replacement.
Hill is demanding talks with his board at Barnsley this week about his position at the club. There is an Italian consortium about to buy the club and they are rumoured to want to bring their own management team in. That would have been perfect timing for us. Black could keep it going until Hill was free.

The situation has gone from the sublime to the ridiculous now, the Venkys and Kean yet again make us the laughing stock of the league. The team had better win at Charlton at weekend to dispel some of the gloom and doom that surrounds (nay engulfs) the club today.

11:26am Tue 25 Sep 12

OK so if Kean stays whats next? 12000 for the next few home games will not prove how many fans are missing because of Kean, its natural to lose a big percentage when relegated. Assuming they carry on playing the way they have been doing then a gradual drop in attendances will also prove nothing, some fans will not boycott (they are right if thats what they believe) The atmosphere will become more hostile and performances will suffer accordingly.
How about all stay away fans and all attending fans turning up for one game to show Vemky's what could happen. All people wanting Kean out could wear a yellow shirt and support the team through a full game without mentioning the bald headed one. Making it clear that this would be the last game they would ever attend while the nob head was still at Ewood and then sticking to this would show the lost revenue if nothing changes. If the atmosphere was brilliant it would also show the players what they are missing and should show even the most inept owners that this circus needs closing down.
I know some fans will say they have already made a statement by staying away and others will say they have made a statement by protesting vocally at the matches but these are negative protests and really dont prove much different to what was happening two seasons ago. If Kean was sacked then what would the attendances be and what would the atmosphere be like? I dont know and neither do Venky's so why not swallow your pride for one game and show them?

A Darener says...
11:51am Tue 25 Sep 12

The all come for one game idea will NOT work because not all will come. Me included.The all stay away idea is also dodgy because again some will come. But the stay away idea is best because it will not cost us anything but will cost the Venky's. As their ultimate aim is NOT to lose money then they must eventually give in to the fans, if we stand together and BOYCOTT!

Kean is 'untouchable is he 77'sss?

Well in India that would mean:

In the Indian society people who worked in ignominious, polluting and unclean occupations were seen as polluting peoples and were therefore considered as untouchables.

The untouchables had almost no rights in the society. In different parts of India they were treated in different ways. In some regions the attitude towards the untouchables was harsh and strict. In other regions it was less strict.

In regions where the attitude was less strict the untouchables were seen as polluting people and their dwellings were at a distance from the settlements of the four Varna communities.

The untouchables were not allowed to touch people from the four Varnas. They were not allowed to enter houses of the higher Varnas. They were not allowed to enter the temples. They were not allowed to use the same wells used by the Varnas. In public occasions they were compelled to sit at a distance from the four Varnas.

In regions where the attitude towards the untouchables were more severe, not only touching them was seen polluting, but also even a contact with their shadow was seen as polluting.

If, because of any reason, there was a contact between an untouchable and a member of the Varnas, the Varna member became defiled and had to immerse or wash himself with water to be purified. In strict societies, especially among the 'Twice Born' (the three top Varnas) the touched 'Twice Born' also had to pass through some religious ceremonies to purify himself from the pollution.

If the untouchable entered a house and touched things of a Varna member, the Varna members used to wash or clean the places where the untouchable touched and stepped.

In some incidences the untouchables who associated with the Varna members were beaten and even murdered for that reason. Some higher hierarchy Jats also had servants whose job was to go or walk before the high Jats members and announce their coming to the streets and to see to it that the streets would be clear of untouchable people.

Poor wee Stevie - from the Gorbals to the Gutter?
Well thanks for the culture lesson
