Kean resigns: reaction (From Lancashire Telegraph)

Fantastic stuff, and a massive middle finger to all the Kean sympathisers. He was never up to the job and will never manage a club again. He lied to the fans and treated them with contempt, never apologising for relegating us or losing all our good players. What a pathetic excuse for a human being, a yes-man and nothing more.

Redknapp isn't going to come to us. Yes, he has an excellent record and would be good for us on the football field, but he also seems to demand huge salaries and huge transfer kitties’ wherever he goes. I can't see Venky's agreeing to any of his demands as we are very close to going bust as it is.

Rednapp has been at Ewood this evening! Just left the car park only 30 minutes ago! Saw it with my own eyes!!

Just like to say that there has been a lot of hate, abuse and at times unwarranted disgraceful language about "the deceased". Road Runner has always explained his points in a favourable way. WELCOME BACK TO EWOOD ROAD RUNNER!!! (and that's shouting)

Still on for that gig??

Seems to know the game? Can you remind us of his management cv please. We need an experienced proper manager, not some pundit. Commenting on a game from behind a desk isn't really the same thing, is it?

Quite right. That is where someone like Keith Hill should be seriously considered. Our problems have not gone just because Steve Kean has disappeared.

Mr Kean's playing a clever game if you ask me. He was going to get the push but jumped just before citing reasons that I would expect are contrary to his contract ie. in his contract he will be solely responsible for picking the team. Therefore Venky's are in breach of contract.

He could of waited to be pushed of course but it looks better on the CV if it says resigned. Rover are currently 3rd in the Championship so that looks OK on the CV also.

Sorry I think the score is now Kean 2 Shaggy 0

The next question is will this result in thousands coming back. I suspect it will in the honeymoon period but when the new man starts to lose games then that will be the real test.

We've just broken our all time transfer record and signed our latest legend. This is a Premier League set up, internal management issues aside, we have started the season with points on the board and Venkies are in control. They wanted Beckham, etc,..now they can go for Benitez. Tell me why not?

They wanted Beckham? We got Anthony Modeste.... I'll tell you why not, we have not got the money. Do not mention Rhodes, good signing though he is. Look what we sold to buy him.
The Walker days are long gone. But I see there are some who possibly think we can still readily mix it with the big boys. The sacking of Kean is a step in the right direction, but we are still in a lot of trouble. Especially if Jerome Anderson is really running the show.

That man is now history, in the past, a distant distasteful memory. I've never shared the belief that Kean gone = 10,000 back though. Kean gone = everything's alright again. The root cause of all the problems at Blackburn has been Venkys, the circus of fools they brought with them and the leeching scum they've dealt with behind the scenes.

Kean's gone but it's one minute step towards this club being anything like it was 24 months ago.

Indeed we are not worthy of Kean. We give him back to the football community in the hope that those more deserving may benefit from his great insight, integrity and tactical acumen.

All those admirers can now engage in battle to have their man. Don't all rush at once!

Kean is history - all parts of the club have to work together for a better future - it wont happen overnight because we have lost players with Premier League quality - who should never have been let go

Kean alienated his players that was why he failed and there was little evidence this season that he had addressed the main problem - a team that could defend as a unit. Forget all the personal issues - yesterday summed up the guy perfectly - in the morning all was postive with Venkys . In the evening he had resigned - how can that be ? one could nt be sure of what was being said was my belief.

As for the next Manager he will never be 100% choice of the fans but All must get behind him and the players and restore trust and dignity within the club. If Venkys give him support like they have Kean and provide the cash then whether we like Venkys or not doesnt matter - bit like the Glaziers at Man U - while alls well its not a problem

Ole Gunner Solskaer for me would be good option - some experience youthful and ambitious - I would not rule out Simon Grayson either

Redknapp isn't going to come to us. Yes, he has an excellent record and would be good for us on the football field, but he also seems to demand huge salaries and huge transfer kitties’ wherever he goes. I can't see Venky's agreeing to any of his demands as we are very close to going bust as it is.

From SKY:

lackburn managing director Derek Shaw has revealed that the club¿s owners are disappointed by Steve Kean¿s resignation.

Kean announced his resignation through a statement from his lawyers without informing the club, claiming his position as Rovers boss was 'untenable' and Shaw admits it came as a shock to owners Venky's.

"Steve has, after a great deal of thought, resigned," said Shaw.

"It was completely unexpected. He travelled down with the team ahead of our game at Charlton tomorrow, but he must have been giving it an awful lot of thought owing to the pressure he's been under.

"With the things that have gone on, over weeks and months, he's decided it's in the best interests of himself and the club that it's time to move on.

"I have spoken with spoken with Anuradha Desai (the club owner) and she is very disappointed as she was close with Steve. Owing to time differences, I don't have anything else."

Asked about Kean's claim that he had been forced to resign, Shaw added: "I can't comment on that. He's decided tonight to call it a day, and the thoughts on why are with Steve.

"As everybody knows, every day of the week we're waking up to a fresh Steve Kean story. I think he has done remarkably well to keep plugging away under the pressure he has been under."

GameRoverMan wrote:
What a joke - Kean resigning on a matter of principle! He didn't resign when we got relegated. He didn't resign when he was caught publically slagging off Sam Allardyce. He didn't resign when it became clear he is the most despised and incompetent manager in Blackburn history. No he resigned because a Venky tried to interfere in team affairs.
Is it a coincidence that Danny Murphy is doubtful for tomorrow's game?

Nice piece Mr Anderson....Sherwood is not wanted at Ewood. We want a manager with experience of getting a club promoted...not another free loader. Mick McCarthy please...a no nonsense manager who can organise the defence.

smelly (small 's' for a small boy) you really are a first rate plonker...I usually try to desist from slagging any fans off on here but if you are a Rovers fan then you really are a deluded one.
Road Runner (aka Woody) is one of the staunchest and most loyal Rovers fans I know and to childishly call him 'Anderson' shows just how pathetic and anti-Rovers like you really are.

I had the pleasure to be at Ashton Gate with Woody to see the sound 5-3 win - and enjoyed true celebrations at the final whistle. I can only guess you were thinking-up your next pointless and childish poison pen post at the time. Either grow-up and say something constructive or go join your mate Kean on the exodus into the wilderness.

Hello again stupid, or should I call u stu for short?
I understand your dissapointment at seeing your boss leave, but the club must go on from strength to strength hopefully.

Maybe you should go back to whatever you did before this season started, it's probrbly more suitable, football isn't you bag.

Good luck whatever you decide and, keep stupid.

If you think that that quality of football and inept defending was going to get us up then you're in cloud cuckoo land mate.

Thank god Kean has gone but as usual under a 'cloud' and not a clear cut decision by the Venkys who seem incapable of making professional and well thought out moves!!!!
Just hope that they now take stock of Keans cohorts that are left at the club and if possible think through a strategy that will put in place the right team to take the club forward.
It will be interesting to see what statement they put out about yesterdays events - dont think we'll get any sense from Keans mates Shaw and Agnew who equally should be scrutinized as to whether they are the right people for the job.
KEAN GONE NOW OUT WITH HENDRY AGNEW SINGH AND VENKYS BUT IN THE INTERIM HOPEFULLY THE FANS BACK TO SUPPORT THE TEAM.
ps RUinsane - insane as usual!!!

Who threw pies at Keans wife, sorry but you've been listening to the media again haven't you. This is probably the same media trail that said Kean needed a body guard when in fact no-one had been anywhere near him except for Nzonzi who kicked his ****. He needed a body guard from his own playing staff. Robinson hated the tool When we got relegated only Hoilett and Nzonzi left. Nzonzi hadn't played for us since the last 5 games of the season. The reason being he was that behind steve keans genius tactics and ability, he punched him in training and said he would never play for the tool again. Samba did exactly the same, except he didn't slap the idiot. Or what about Nelsen. Kean says, he has the strangest injury we have ever seen, he may never play again, we have sent him to New zealand to get treatment off the New zealand rugby medical team because his injury is so bad its more like a rugby injury. While he is there Ryan will have o ask himself some serious questions about his career, but we are all routing for him. He later signed for Spurs and went straight in the first team. This was our club captain. Ryan Nelsen had previously stated he only ever wanted to play for one team and Rovers was all he knew. So you put two and two together and you get LIES LIES LIES. Most of the players who left, went when we were in the premier league, not when we were relegated So go away you MORON, you nothing about us except what sky has told you. We will never apologise to the fat nomark. Tell you what would make good TV and give us a bit of closure. Get him in the ring with freddie flintoff . The tickets for that one wouldn't last long. I'll be Keans agent and when he comes round on ward 7 I'll be in the bahamas taking in some rays.

You are absolutely correct insofar as this is all of Venkys doing, but Kean was complicit in everything which has happened (at last, we can use the past tense).

Venky's business plan was to have one person effectively running the shop, reporting back to them. This was how they ran their other outlets or satellite businesses.

Disastrously, inexplicably, Kean was the man they chose.

We won't go into how he became that man; let’s just say he took advantage of a favourable set of circumstances. That is another story but one which has cast doubt over his integrity if nothing else. So, despite being a totally inexperienced manager, probably because of it, he allowed himself to go along with the owners’ hair brained plan. He has continued to be their spokesman ever since, spouting their lies; even their distorted view of the club’s recent history.

And please don't fall into the trap of believing all this "dignity" $hite we keep hearing.

Being described as dignified in the context of football management isn’t much of a compliment when you consider how low the “dignity” bar is set in that profession.

How "dignified" is accusing a fellow manager (although he should never have been a fellow manager) of being a "f'ing" crook? To name but one of his many less than dignified moments.

Even without his appalling record, he deserved all the stick he got.

Venkys are now reaping what was sown two years ago when they drove out the existing club officials due to their hair brained idea they could run a football club like one of their poultry processing plants or poor man's KFC outlets. They still have little or no grasp of how to run a football club which remains in an unbelievable mess; a mess everyone has seen coming for the last 12-18 months over which time a whole heap of d@mning information has come out.

Yes, we are a small provincial club which has been punching above its weight. But we had been for ten years due to the people who were in charge over that period.

Of course there are Rovers fans who think we are bigger or more important than we are - which football fan doesn't have a biased view of their own club? That is surely what defines a football fan.

The size of the club or number of supporters is irrelevant. We are not obliged to sit by quietly and watch our club being dismantled just because we are a small club with only a few fans.

That is just nonsense.

Relegation is always a very real threat for clubs of our size and it was almost inevitable we would be relegated at some time. It's just there was no reason it should have come so soon.

There is a huge difference however between going down and visibly, obviously, blatantly being taken down. Everyone could see it unfolding in front of their very eyes and what had to be done to try and stop it. Rovers may still have gone down last year regardless of the manager, but it is the failure to act and the reasons they didn’t which stick in the craw.
