One man's catastrophe is another man's golden opportunity.

Not many tears being shed for Keanochio !!

Good riddance !!

Arte et Labore !!

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.

Arte et Labore

I cant stop smiling. impossible. the day finally came.

he will walker a pub team lol

Yes great news. I am just praying that QPR lose a few more games and give Hughes the chop. Under normal circumstances Hughes wouldn't come back to us, but he has a vastly underwhelming C.V. since he left us. So I don't think coming back to us and working with a small budget will be much of a problem.

Venkys out

Hurry up Harry!! Come on!!!

Wishing Kean the same success he brought to Rovers,NONE.If he needs another club in which his lies and football brain will be appreciated. Try Outer Mongolia or better still Uranus.
OK lads,no more boycotters or spartans,we are all Rovers supporters,lets show the football world how we support the team. Everybody fill Ewood as best we can,and roar the lads to the Premier League. Onwards and Upwards.

Please get the right manger venkys we need an experienced manger not Tim sherwood

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!!

No more unproven inexperienced managers at the club.

We usually get these type of stories on a transfer deadline day Lol. Anyway, whoever we get will be an improvement. I wonder who will be in charge until the new manager comes in. Prob be Black but he may want to go too now his mate Kean has gone.

And thank-you for those kind words much appreciated.

Get the gig on these times they are a changing brother !

We'll have to meet up pal ?

Arte et labore

Just mighty relieved that the clown prince of chicken pluckers has gone, I for one am getting slowly **** on wine & vodka and safe in the knowledge that our club is on the road to recovery !!!!!!

I am starting to feel like sanity may be returning to my beloved Rovers. Its been a long time coming but all those who kept the faith (and stayed away depriving the owners of revenue) can now look forward with hope that the venkys will think more carefully in future. Fan power really paid off, even though it took a long painful time. Good riddance Kean, you were never up to the job. Come on you blues!

There is a god!
Steve you are the most hated, backstabbing, deluded, arrogant, person that I have ever witnessed as a 'manager'. The truth has finally caught up with you. 'Majority of the fans' you dim wit, NO ONE wanted you at the club, you have dug your own footballing grave but thanks very much for making mine and countless other rovers fans weekend!

Together the owners, staff members, the management, players and supporters can rebuild the institution to levels that are even better than ever before. one club and one vision, with supporters can win all the games with full of joy. Hope we get a better Manager with experiance in all levels.

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?

Is this for real or has that pint just put me into a parallel universe ?

And the Adviser said " Time to pull you out Steve, our work here is done, we've all made a bob or two, I think we've been twigged "

Gary Neville seems to know the game well and wears his heart on his sleeve. Could be good for us if someone could persuade him to join us

Game set and match Mr French :)

Let him take the blood money that will have been the underlining factor to this despicable character. His record considering the blithering idiots boasts never in a million years does it warrant such a massive pay off, and this is what I will remember the odious one for and nothing more.

Tim Sherwood on the other hand was paid handsomely for the success he brought to Blackburn = a natural born winner and leader. If, as the strong link suggests, Sherwood is a serious contender, then I wish him the very best for our beloved, and at least we know we have a guy who will want to succeed and be the winner he was on the pitch.

Never mind this dressing room revolt under Hodgson(albeit twas a nasty piece of business) Sherwood was possibly in a similar situation we have become embroiled in these past two years ?

I asked for a dynamic etc etc type of guy for our embattled club through the week, and now that the odious one as become vapor in the blink of an eye, I can now begin to believe for the above. In my opinion, only this type of character will vitalize re-energize the beloved and, I'm sure get the team organized and ready for battle.

Never have I heard Sherwood have a bad word for BRFC ! That my friend is what I care over. The down to earth no nonsense family orientated club with honors !

Sherwood will fit in well(IMO)

T'up the ROVERS

Arte et labore

I would love to see Jerome Anderson exposed now for what he is.

Anyone else think that "forced out" means he will claim constructive dismissal?

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

WHAT CAN'T SPEAK CAN'T LIE:-

STEVE KEAN...

Record:-

G W D L %
74 21 16 37 28

Good riddance to bad rubbish!

The season starts tomorrow!!

Rafa Benitez for me.

Experienced - Yes

Available - Yes

Local - Yes

Record as a manager

G W D L %
670 350 163 157 52

And I'd pitch for having Jamie Carragher as his (still playing) assistant.

If we do go for (and get) Sherwood, I'd settle for that. No experience,
yes, but despite this he was captain of the CHAMPIONS. He knows the place, he has talent and more importantly, he did play the game. If Sherwood comes we should ALL accept him with open arms.

SO, the KEAN is dead, who's the next king?

I think that Venky's should use this oppotunity to get all religious and start blowing smoke out of a chimney and then change the colour to blue
and white when they appoint our new leader. -
After all they've blown enough smoke at us already!

Remember what Jack said when he walked through the doors all those years ago.

IT'S TIME TO THINK BIG!!!

BENETEZ is waiting for us to call.


VENKYS need our help, they own us and we won't have them over like they have been had over by people from within this wonderful, yet corrupt game.
THEY'VE FINALLY LISTENED TO THE FANS.

Go and get BENITEZ!!!!!!! He's our Dalai Lama Mrs D.

Just my tuppenth worth ;-)

COYB

It is being reported that Venkys are disappointed ,according to D Shaw

Don't get me wrong, I'm ecstatic that Kean is out. This is a good win for the fans but I can't help having a bad taste in my mouth for Venky's being "disappointed" of Kean's descision. This only leads me to believe they were never going to fire him. I hope for thier sake they get their thumbs out of their a** and choose a manager who can get us back to the Prem. I hope the rumor of Redknapp coming to us is true. Congrats to all the fans.

cheerio cheerio cheerio

When does the loan window end as new manager still needs the back line sorted!!

What a night I honestly thought it would never happen. Doubly happy Kean gone and having bought a season ticket early doors to support the boys,so I wont get trampled in the stampede of the returning boycotters! LOLSo that will be 22000 on against Wolves will it. Hmmmm not so sure. Throught thick and thin boys......

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."

Steve who ??????

Tonight I do not care who is our new manager - it is the time to celebrate for tomorrow I will renew my ticket

He has got a good record in the lower leagues, but then again so had Ince, and look what happened there. The problems we will find are that we are looking for a manager who is a big enough name to attract top players, has got a PROVEN track record, and is willing to come to a championship club and work within a small budget. Compromises need to be made somewhere.

Hill has the record in the lower leagues, but can he attract big names and manage at a higher level? Whilst Shearer or Sherwood perhaps could attract some big names, but have either never managed (Sherwood) or as in Shearer's case had a terrible run of results at Newcastle. And Mick McCarthy another dark horse for the job has spent fortunes at the clubs he has been at, and only achieved mediocre results by and large. My tip or rather forlorn wish was to hope Hughes gets sacked at QPR in the next week or two, and then move for him, but it appears nobody else would want Hughes back, at least on this forum (see above)

Mr Purple...I think you should be taking a reality pill or two.

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?

To quote Kean....."I wish to thank all the players and coaching staff for their great support and the majority of the fans, who now see their club heading towards an automatic promotion position back to the Premiership. I wish the club all the very best for the future."

Still deluded til the very end!

JUST SEEN RHEAGAN HENDRY`S TWITTER PAGE , SAYING HOW MUCH EVERYONE WANTS HER DAD TO BE NEXT MANAGER , SORRY RHEAGAN AND COLIN OR SHOULD I SAY "BRAVEHEART' HAHA WE AT ROVERS WANT OUR NEXT MANAGER AT ROVERS TO BE A HONEST PERSON, THAT PUTS HENDRY OUT ,

BUT GOOD TO SEE YOU HAVE SO MUCH LOYALTY TO YOUR PREVIOUS BOSS , THAT GIVES US ALL A TASTE OF HOW LOYAL AND DECENT YOU FOLK ARE.

Blackburn MP Jack Straw said: “This was a wise and overdue move by the club – hopefully we can put this behind us now and move forward.”

Blackburn with Darwen council leader Coun Kate Hollern said: “I am glad that the Venky’s have finally seen sense and this will be great news for the club.

Pssssssttttttt Jack and Kate he resigned...try and keep up please?

Just think about if for a minute. Venky`s - after a lot of fan pressure - wanted to get rid of Kean but didn`t want to pay him off so what better way to try and force him out than start interferring in team selection. Kean could see where this was going and resigned so he could claim constructive dismissal. Clearly Venky`s mindful of this have then had to come out and said they are "disappointed" when the truth is that they are glad they haven`t had to pay him off but may need to defend a possible "constructive dismissal" case from Kean. So don`t get hung up by what Venky`s are saying about being disappointed as they are just working the system against Kean - now isn`t that poetic justice!

Best News I have heard all year, we will be renewing our season tickets next week, (four of us)
I think the best thing Venkys could do now is get shut of Steve Keans YES men out of our club.
Venkys if you want respect and want to start with a clean slate lets see John Williams back the man who knows how to run a club, Lets see a proven football manager no more muppets please, surely you have learnt your lesson now?? lets get the club back to how it was.
Happy days are here again
See you all at the Wolves game lets have a party !!!!!!!!

Good riddance to all the yes men he employed as well, clear the lot out because believe me, if you can go along with anything that man says then you are as bad as him.

I do hope that SEM don't have a say in who the next manager is otherwise it may well be same old.

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.

Agree that it`s all "cloaks & daggers" from Venky`s and Kean. However what fans need to realise is that whilst on the face of it Kean resigned he was in reality pushed out the door! He`s trying to save face by resigning plus strengthen any claim he may try & make for constructive dismissal. But beneath all the bluff & bluster he was pushed and as fans we must hold onto this fact as the alternative is to believe that Venky`s were still standing by him which would be unthinkable under the circumstances!

fook off kean you fooked our club &you will walk away with millions fook off i will not feel sorry for you ...me and 3 mates will renew are season tickets now you have gone coyb long( not live kean)kean will go down has the worst manager ever for brfc .. bye

what we all need to do do now is for the wolves match is turn out in mass .. the match we were going to boycott come blue all turn out in mass

As much as we are all glad about this, when we as fans are considering who we want to run our club, we must remember that we aren’t an automatic choice for promotion. More to the point, if and when we do go up, it will be on the same footing as Reading and Southampton, not as an ‘established’ Premier league club. We have been shafted. Now is the time to get behind the club and the players – and if any player thinks he has signed for Kean, they need to be set straight. But we must get behind the club, the team and push on from now. The new manger is important, but are we behind it regardless– I for one am. 20 years and will renew.

I hope so....would be an immense appointment...is it a realistic hope though?

I wish to thank all the players and coaching staff for their great support and the majority of the fans

Ok, own up. Who are ya!

Ian Holloway or Simon Grayson for me. Both have shown they can manage. This appointment is critical and its essential that Venkys - and Mrs Desai in particular - let the new Manager do just that i.e. manage or it will be out of the frying pan and into the fire

Who are the Blackburn rovers action group going to blame from now on? And what decent manager is going to come and work for the Venkys?

The one thing that has become clear over the last 18+ months, is that the fans have more of an idea of how to run this club than Venkys do. However it is Venkys who hold the purse strings. Now either they're asset strippers, or they need our help. If they want to put the assets of our club into one thing then Benitez is it. He would be the best signing of the seaon, and lets face it, there is a history of greatness associated with our aquirement of ex liverpool bosses who left and had a break. There is a world class manager who lives one hour away from Blackburn and he is as happy as a sand man, but bored. Rafeal Benitez is under our noses and he WILL come.

Mr Purple...I think you should be taking a reality pill or two.

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.

Agent kean has has been terminated ! :) you dingle dick head !

Heroes!!!
'Well done' to the many thousands that stayed away from Ewood, to the campaigners, and let's not forget (albeit belatedly) some of the Press. We have achieved our first result.
But, be careful. The cancer is still within the club.

For the final time........ D.K.O.

Why not?

Benitez

Anderson running the show? I don't care whose running the show, the show has been sh1te for a while. I just want to see some good football.

Benitez

How do you KNOW that Venkys have no money? They've been sh1te owners, I give you that, but they are probably the richest people in this mess right now along with you and me, so BENITEZ please!

"Calm down, calm down" - lets not get too excited. Kean's gone, thank God. I saw him walking alone on the front at Lytham last Friday morning (c11.30 a.m.) before the Middlesbrough game. He didn't have his Bodyguard with him and he was on the mobile (probably SK was going to Colin's for a lift). Anyway he was not speaking to anyone on the phone, just listening - perhaps it was Mrs. D picking the team or he could have been ordering a taxi to Ewood. Now he has a taxi out of Ewood, but why was Shaw not aware of it? As for Agnew, is our PR / Director of Communications still alive, haven't heard from him since Shebby came in. Where is the Club's statement? or better still, do they know in India yet? Realistically, the shambolic the way the club is being run is still apparent to everyone outside the Ewood Boardroom. Let's look at what the owners do now; will they appoint a proper Manager or will they promote Hendry? As for Venky's, they were in shock when we were relegated and were taking time to consider things. Are they in shock now? (smelling salts for Mrs. D and tissues and a first class ticket to India for Kean's wife). Be careful what you wish for, everybody. "Keep calm and carry on" - I await developments before the Wolves game (if any).

There will be Burnley fans smashing up their own town centre tonight!

Allegedly had to rely on his wife to save him from the chop last week (probably got her man the job in the first place). This speaks volumes of the man. He should get no pay off after what he has done to a great club. SHAME ON KEAN, SHAME ON VENKY'S FOR BEING SUCKED IN BY HIM AND HIS FAMILY. NO TO SHERWOOD BTW.....MICK MCARTHY PLEASE!!!

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.

WooooHoooo!

Congrats to the neanderhal boo-boys. You bullied a manager out who got us to 3rd place after just SEVEN games.

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.

Here's my reaction:

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.

What a happy day. Now Mr Positive has been forced out (well done to boycotters and Spartans alike), I actually feel, well....positive!

I look forward to his next managerial appointment with a huge sense of schadenfreude but fear I could be waiting a long time.All those backers of him who support other clubs, well you can now have your man.

Goodbye Agent Kean, it's been emotional.

we dared to dream and off f****d kean.

it was just a matter of time , no one is bigger than the club , this drunken jock has distroyed my club , i do hope he never works in the football world again , pick the positives out of that Kean .........KEAN GONE FANS BACK

All that is needed now is Big Sam s lawerys to kick in and drag this clown through the hedges backwards Job complete.....KEAN GONE FANS BACK

Previous LET article states SK "saved" the club from relegation in his first season, this is totally incorrect. Everyman and his dog knows it was down to the points BFS had already accumulated. The deluded one failed massively.

On a football level Rednapp would be great. But he's not our style of person. The circus would continue off the field IMO.

We're in the s--t still and the person we bring in must embody what we want our club to be and relate to what we were pre Venkys. A club steeped in tradition and one that was respected for being a REAL club. No plastic appointments please!

Said this a few days ago, remember Souness? Paraphrasing his words but something like, " this is a real club run for the right reasons "

Must get back to that mentality!!

As for Redknapp & Sherwood can anyone tell me if they have any links at all to SEM? A poor omen if so.

Think Tim would be a risky appointment but will bring back some interest & passion. Just not convinced he's the man for the job. As for Hendry, surely he'll get the chop. But he won't jump that's for sure.

I would like to know what the dressing room think of SK's departure. Untenable works in more ways than one. Top down. Bottom up. Me thinks Steve was being squeezed from both sides. But I am not at all surprised he appears to be jockeying for position and seemingly gunning for an out of court settlement.

All this aside. At least there is something to look forward to more than before. I for one will be at Wolves and hope to be at a party on the terraces too. Long overdue.

Cannot beleive some of you Dingles think thats it all our troubles are over.
Venky's, Kentro, Anderson. Not one of them have a clue about running a football club. Then to top it all you've got Shebby Singh, OMG. They the demise of your sad littl club continue.

He is taking the mick, but he is not far out. I will be dishing out reality pills at Charlton today.

As an outsider looking in , you people should be ashamed of yourselves . You have treated this loyal man with downright contempt and have bullied him out of the club . He had the backing of the players which is crucial and has led had v small club to second in the championship . You people don't deserve premier league football and I will personally be smiling and will raise a glass when you fail to get promoted . Shame on you

Well as. I said in previous posts , about kean quitting and I hope I'm WRONG. But
Will even Severn thousand return to ewood straight away. I don't think so
Many just wanted to see prem football and still looked back on past glory days,
Has kean gone completely from the club, and will the hangers on be leaving too, if not whose to say he will just dictate things from the shadows
And finally Tim sherwood is not the man to take the main role at ewood if he was part of a duo , with a more established manager then maybe, klinsman , redknapp, both who know sherwood,
Or break the bank and get Dalgleish and shearer back and get 13,000 back

I posted this last week..... Please read so you may get some understanding of how fans felt.

I have always tried to make rational judgement calls with regards to Kean, I can understand why fans want to attend and why some fans refuse to go to Ewood. Personally I have wanted him sacked since the Bolton defeat at home and I have never had any reason to change my mind.

Lets take a look at what is happening to our beloved BRFC..

Kean gets us relegated.
Statistically one of the worse mangers in BRFC history.
Statistically one of the worst managers in English history at this level
He has caused a split between the fans.
He is causing major embarrassment to BRFC.
He is causing major embarrassment to the fans of BRFC
He is causing major embarrassment to the town of Blackburn.
Sections of the media are having a go at BRFC fans because of him
The general public are having a go at BRFC fans because of him.
He has dragged BRFC to the gutter and is squeezing the life out of us.

AND YET

This person is sticking two fingers up in the face of every BRFC fan and townspeople of Blackburn, that is the measure of the man. Kean has not shown one ounce of dignity, he knows that if he walked away from the club then a healing process could begin for the fans, fans can unite, the club can begin a new chapter and Blackburn can start looking forward to a new period and BRFC would be in the spotlight for the right reasons and yet Keane refuses to do that and for that I absolutely despise the man and everything about him. This man is laughing in our faces and at our club, if he remotely cared about BRFC and the fans he would have resigned months ago, Kean is laughing all the way to the bank at our expense.

All Blackburn fans now need to act, a total boycott is needed for the next home match to show the world we are united and that we want this joke of a manager out of our club, our town and our lives for good.

One other thing, the man has never ever said sorry, if you are a football fan you will understand the upset and frustration of having this man in our club. Shame on you for your comments on something you obviously know very little about.

There are some dilluded idiots commenting after the resignation of Kean. Do you think any manager with any self respect is going to join you while the Vekys' are in charge. Rednapp? You must be having a laugh! You will get another inexperienced manager in Tim Sherwood (and good luck to him) coz no other experienced manager will go near you! Get rid if the Venk's and then you can start celebrating!

Sorry mate but it's clear from your comment that you don't have a clue about what been going on at Ewood under Kean's time as manager.

Now we're just being silly.

"He who shall be nameless" may well have advised him to go and how to handle it, hence Kean's comment about "legal reasons" - for that read "negotiating my compensation package", but running the show and sacking his own client?

That just doesn't make sense.

On another subject; there are woryying comments being made by Shaw about the owners being disappointed. I know they can't glory in it like us but they could have been a little more vague - neither gushing praise and disappointment nor joy and relief at him getting them out of a hole.

Y'know, "Steve has made his own decision and we will abide by that. I would like to thank him for his efforts since we have been here but we now need to look forward etc etc etc"

They couldn't manage that, even on one of the few occasions a bit of BS would actually have been appropriate.

And you sir with respect are a tosser. Who was the man that spoke of European football, Who was the man that promised exciting football. Who was the man that was tactically inept. Who was the man who got us relegated. Yes it was Keanocchio. Yes we are 3rd in the league but it is a long haul in the championship and we wouldn't have been in the top 3 come April with that clown in charge. Short memory. This guy was our worst ever manager lets not lose sight of that, and that is not just an opinion but backed up fully by the stats.

It's what happens when people only read the headlines.

He probably thinks Orwell's 1984 is just an old diary.

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.

I can completely understand where you are coming from David and I have read and thought your comments through of which some I tend to agree, what I do not understand however is the misguided opinion that Blackburn should have a better win record than Keane had given you . You were punching well above your weight for the ten years previous and that was always going to correct itself . Unfortunately it do so under SK's management . It was the bullying that the general public didn't like , and personally I found it deplorable . When your team scores and you 'boo' it paints a pretty horrific picture . This is the reason why the media have targeted BR fans. Lets be honest with each other and agree that it's not SK's fault , it's the venkys. A ludicrous ideology from the start (they targeted a top four finish in the first year if I remember correctly) and aside from spending a few quid on relatively decent players this summer have not put a foot right . The way I feel is that SK has been the scapegoat in all of this as he was the visual representation of the club with the Venkys never being in touching distance . I also understand the irony of a NUFC fan commenting on a club perceiving it is bigger than it is .

Wot a great day after the news yesterday come on Rovers today you can now play with the freedom of knowing you don`t have to suck up to knob jockey really hope now some of knob jockeys lovers i.e. orr / dann are dropped hope the venky`s get somebody with a proven recorded rather than somebody new to management.Come on you Rovers so so so so so happy .

Of course he had the backing of the players, thats why Nzonzi is at stoke, Samba is in Russia and nelsen is at QPR with Junior Hoilet you TOOL, jeez some of you outsiders looking in are as thick as a yorkstone flag. Our entire fisrt team is no more. Gordon bennet even his own signings have packed up and naffed off. Petrovic, Goodwillie, Slew. How long a list do you need mate coz its endless, Emerton, Kalinic. This tool destroyed this club in 22 months. I just hope there is enough left to salvage something. Its tools like you that kept this even bigger tool in a job for far too long by siding with the press, and as half of the press including most of the sky pundits are involved with a shadey super agent who, as it happens, is also Uncle festers agent. The only ones who succeded out of all this is Uncle fester who got a percentage of all outgoing transfers and said super agent who got a percentage of all incoming and outgoing transfers.
Some people are just dumb as they come, alls I can say is if you like him that much, take him on at your club and watch the genius at work.

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

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!

In celebration, I'm going to take the misses doggy style ... oops, sorry if thet gets me banned

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!

Spot on, lets see all the clubs clamouring for this footballing genius. My prediction is he'll be first team coach of the Cayman islands national team.

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.

I'm sure he'll be weeping into his tequila sunrise when he looks back on his two years at BRFC from the comfort of his sun lounger in Barbados, with his wife, tearful Margaret, at his side. Good riddance, you clueless tool.

Ruinsane- Christ you must be. It may be a small matter of fact but you lost some of your best players because you were relegated . Your hatred of Keane was intense, bordering on evil , you threw pies at SK's wife while shouting fat c@&£ . You collectively should write a letter of apology to the man .

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

I said that yesterday, Solskjar, Grayson or my favourite Di canio I also think that Nigel clough should be considered. His teams always play good football, he just hasn't had the finances behind him. Realistically I think we can rule out redknapp and as venkys always want to go with option cheap they may just go with what they have, but thats how we got in this mess. Then there is Sherwood who again is untried, for me I'd prefer Grayson or Dicanio as my top two.

Are we positive he's gone or will it be in the next 48 hrs,its hard to beleive he won't be on the training ground on monday morning sorting out the defence.
As for the Venkys being disappointed Derek Shaw spoke to Mrs Desai and not to the brothers who are more than likely having a party.I think they hated him as much as we all did.
Bazzer I think your right to hand out reality pills some of the post already sound like great expectations.lets just enjoy the moment without getting carried away.

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.

i look forward to seeing you on the riverside once again my mate ,a jug or 2

Hope that the Rovers fans are prepared for a rough ride this season. Getting rid of Keane is not going to solve all the problems, it is only a start. We have a poor defense which can only be addressed in the next transfer window. Managers on their own don't win games, no matter who is brought in to the hot seat. Will the talked about rise in attendances be sustained if we see more performnces like the M'boro game?

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."

Shaw is obviously deluded too!!!

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?

Didn't like being told who to pick ... which is wierd, cos Jordan would have made a banging left back.

PLEASE STILL PLACE THAT AD IN THE PAPER URGING EVERY MAN WOMAN AND CHILD TO FILL EWOOD UP IN CELEBRATION V WOLVES

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.

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.

I can completely understand where you are coming from David and I have read and thought your comments through of which some I tend to agree, what I do not understand however is the misguided opinion that Blackburn should have a better win record than Keane had given you . You were punching well above your weight for the ten years previous and that was always going to correct itself . Unfortunately it do so under SK's management . It was the bullying that the general public didn't like , and personally I found it deplorable . When your team scores and you 'boo' it paints a pretty horrific picture . This is the reason why the media have targeted BR fans. Lets be honest with each other and agree that it's not SK's fault , it's the venkys. A ludicrous ideology from the start (they targeted a top four finish in the first year if I remember correctly) and aside from spending a few quid on relatively decent players this summer have not put a foot right . The way I feel is that SK has been the scapegoat in all of this as he was the visual representation of the club with the Venkys never being in touching distance . I also understand the irony of a NUFC fan commenting on a club perceiving it is bigger than it is .

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.

That is seven games out of 46 remember. That leaves more games to go than we had all last year.

Funny, I would think being third after only seven games should be used in the context of it being early days rather than an endorsement of Kean's "achievement".

The third place thing will be thrown back at us if the new manager fails to finish in the top two, but it is irrelevant.

The performances were still the same; slow disorganised, defensively fragile. Our record over the last two years also suggests we would fall away the longer the season went on - it's happened in each of the seasons Kean has been in charge. Why should it change this year?

Stu Wilson, I told you you were a silly boy the other day (I was posting under Rovers75 then) and am going to remind you once again you are a silly boy. Even sillier than ever it would appear.The only disgrace sonny is that you are clearly very poorly educated on the subject of football, football management and Blackburn Rovers. Stop bleating on about 3rd place and seven games. What about the previous 67 games of which we lost 37? The next manager can't possibly screw things up because he will be a manager, not an average coach who got lucky by manipulating and worming himself into a position he was clearly way out of his depth in. Remember this day and rejoice after the long over due departure of without ANY question the WORST manager in the history of Blackburn Rovers. Now go back to your bedroom, wipe those tears and slobbering mush, blow your nose, have a lie down and come to terms with the fact your ikkle Stevey Weavey has left the building.

Don't forget RU he was apparently "assaulted" at the training ground by an irate fan, according to the papers of course.

It was later revealed the "assault" consisted of a bloke walking into reception, asking to speak with Kean, being told he wasn't available and walking back out again.

Sorry Rodney, that's just the kind of evil ingrates we are. It is the cross we must bear.

Yakubu went as well in the Summer, by the way, but good reply RU - apart from the "moron" bit. We are always going to be on a loser if people only read the headlines.

Wait for the campaign to portray Kean as the victim goes into overdrive; it's already started. "My position had become untenable" my ar$e.

I wish those fans who seemingly support Steve Kean would at least spell his name correctly. It's Kean phil Moulden, not Keane. Begs the question as to how much notice you have actually been paying to the whole proceedings

Well put. And totally agree.

Understand with fans booing when we scored and the Yakubu going over to Kean and getting boo-ed incident that really put fans in bad light too, but the media seemed to forget that there are always a few bad apples in the crowd and it wasnt all the fans doing the inappropriate boo-ing. I myself heckled Kean and joined in the Kean out chants when we were playing crap and he was doing his Fergie gum chewing impression, looking completely at sea as to what to do to change the tempo of the game which rightly exasperated supporters and led to the inevitable Kean Out chants.

There will still be those who will keep trying to bring up conspiracy theories and calling for Venky's to go, thats just the way it is, but in the light of the fact that Kean has finally gone - the number one priority that all fans agreed with - its time to get behind the team and forget our differences and disagreements and rally behind whoever comes in.

No more boo-ing. No more in-fighting please. Let it go. Let's get behind our team and SUPPORT them to get us back the Premier League!

I can completely understand where you are coming from David and I have read and thought your comments through of which some I tend to agree, what I do not understand however is the misguided opinion that Blackburn should have a better win record than Keane had given you . You were punching well above your weight for the ten years previous and that was always going to correct itself . Unfortunately it do so under SK's management . It was the bullying that the general public didn't like , and personally I found it deplorable . When your team scores and you 'boo' it paints a pretty horrific picture . This is the reason why the media have targeted BR fans. Lets be honest with each other and agree that it's not SK's fault , it's the venkys. A ludicrous ideology from the start (they targeted a top four finish in the first year if I remember correctly) and aside from spending a few quid on relatively decent players this summer have not put a foot right . The way I feel is that SK has been the scapegoat in all of this as he was the visual representation of the club with the Venkys never being in touching distance . I also understand the irony of a NUFC fan commenting on a club perceiving it is bigger than it is .

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.

Well put. And totally agree.

we're ****ed if things get worse....the next manager needs our support even if we free fall.....lack of support then... BRFC fans credibility will really be highlighted as the reason or our demise……oh let’s not carry on glorifying in Keans exit…less said the better, look to the future….

Hope that the Rovers fans are prepared for a rough ride this season. Getting rid of Keane is not going to solve all the problems, it is only a start. We have a poor defense which can only be addressed in the next transfer window. Managers on their own don't win games, no matter who is brought in to the hot seat. Will the talked about rise in attendances be sustained if we see more performnces like the M'boro game?

It would be unusual if it was. We don't even know how big the rise in attendances may be - I'd guess at about 6000 max.

However, it is the prospect of NOT seeing more performances like 'boro which alone make this a time to rejoice.

Blue Blooded - you make some excellent points .
RUinsane - you are an inarticulate fool.

Good Luck lads this season , I can see a mid table finish now Keano has departed . Be careful what you wish for .

well done shebby singh. you won. now start on AndersoNSHITE

You can't jump on another ship now that yours has sunk. You were Kean's number one fan. Offer your resignation and stay off these pages.

KEAN RESIGNS ON LEGAL ADVICE
Steve Kean dramatically resigned at 5.30 pm on Friday.
But with all things Kean it was not so simple as it seems.
Whilst all sports channels both TV and radio had pundits, personality’s and former players all queuing up to express their sympathy for Kean and the treatment he has had to endure these past weeks, the true picture is much different.
In a meeting earlier on Friday with chief executive Derek Shaw and Director Paul Agnew, Kean had expressed his determination to carry on regardless. Despite the damage his continued presence was doing to the club and more important the attendances, Kean had every intention of riding out the storm with the full backing of Shaw and Agnew, and had hoped to oust his arch enemy Shebby Singh.
Kean knew that Singh himself was getting frustrated and disillusioned in his efforts to remove Kean and bring in a new manager. With the Rao family continually stalling and being indecisive (so what’s new) Singh was considering his position.
However Kean’s position changed in mid-afternoon after allegedly taking a phone call from his agent Jerome (the man who ruined Blackburn Rovers) Anderson and his legal team.
Kean was advised to resign, saying his position was “untenable” and poignantly added that he could not say any more “for legal reasons”.
Those reasons, I can reveal, are that Kean is to sue the Venky Company and the Rao family for constructive dismissal and squeeze every penny that he can from them.
Mrs Anuradha Desai is about to see Kean in his true colours. She is going to learn about Kean what we all know, and that is that Kean is a very devious man.
Mrs Desai has issued a statement saying “she is disappointed with Kean’s action”. She is going to get a lot more disappointed as Kean plans to plunder the family fortune. And he will succeed.
The evidence of this last week is stacked in favour of Kean as the situation could not have been more badly handled by the Venky’s.
The solution was quite simple but Mrs Desai refused to grasp it. She should have sacked Kean and pay up his contract. Venky’s had every justification to do so, his record is appalling, the worst Blackburn manager ever and lost half the fans (Venky’s customers) from the club.
No arguments, no legal action for wrongful dismissal, a straight forward uncomplicated procedure. Kean would not have had a case or reason to complain.
But no, Venky’s huffed and puffed particularly Mrs Desai and played into Kean and Anderson’s hands. It will cost her a fortune, serves her right, but it will impact on Rovers financial stability. I have warned Mrs Desai on several occasions that Kean would ‘bite the hand that fed him’, but she has ignored all advice from everyone.
In one National newspaper today Kean talks of being “stabbed in the back”. That’s rich coming from Kean, if he wants to talk about being stabbed in the back, give Sam Allardyce a call and ask him what it’s like.
Mrs Anuradha Desai has ‘egg on her face’ big time. She has given Kean wealth beyond his wildest dreams. Kean, a ‘jobbing coach’, hit the jackpot at the Rovers. Never could he have envisaged earning the salary he has been paid as an imposter at the Rovers, a reported £1.3 million per annum.
Now he is going to ‘bite the hand that fed him’.
Mrs Desai, you have been stitched up! As I have repeatedly warned you Kean would.
And now Kean is going to squeeze you dry.
ENJOY.
Reg.
Footnote:
May I respectfully suggest to Mrs Desai that she has no more dealings with Jerome Anderson and his agency and listens more to her brothers Ventkatesh and Balaji but more so Shebby Singh, who in a short space of time has picked up on the mood of the supporters, something she has never done. It would not be a bad idea to take more note of Andy Cryer in the Lancashire Telegraph and Reg of course!!
www.regoftherovers.c
o.uk

Reg...the most Kean can hope for is the pay up of his contract....so why would Venky's sacking him and paying up his contract put them in a healthier financial position? It's up to Kean to go and prove his situation was made untenable by Venky's...to be fair to Venky's...they didn't!! They can only be guilty of over-supporting if anything. He can hardly take the fans to a tribunal can he?? Mrs Desai is soon to learn that Mrs Keane's friendship was as plastic as her husband's ability to manage a football team.

Friday Evening at 5 oclock
In the Evening

Silently closing the team room door
Leaving a note that he
Hoped would say more

He goes downstairs
To the kitchen
Clutching his Press Release

Quietly turning the back door key
Out of Ewood he is free

KEAN......
IS LEAVING.......
HOME......

Kean's leaving home after living a lie
For so many years
Bye.....Bye

Shebby snores as his wife
gets into her dressing gown
Picks up the letter
That's lying there
Standing alone at the
Top of the stairs

She breaks down
and cries to her husband
"Shebby our baby's gone!"

Why would he treat us so thoughtlessly?
How could he do this to me?

KEAN....(we never thought of ourselves)
IS LEAVING...(Never a thought for ourselves)
HOME (we plucked chickens all our lives to get by)

Kean's leaving home after
living a lie for so many years
Bye.....bye

Saturday afternoon at 3 oclcok
Kean is far away
Waiting to keep the appointment he made
Meeting a man from the motor trade

KEAN - (what did we do that was wrong?)
IS DRIVING (he doesn't know it is wrong)
A CAR (to drive a car while you're serving a BAN)

Ten pints inside is why
Kean was so fried for so many years
KEAN's LEAVING HOME

Bye....bye”

Kean was just the symptom of a worse problem - the Venkys

By staying away you got Kean out within 7 matches...but now you're all going to go back.

Bad move.

Deep down you know what the right course of action is but I haven't read a single person on here point out what is so blindingly obvious.

Why not ALL stay away ?

Then the Venkys would disappear pronto. Bish bosh

If the Venkys start messing us fans about then we will take action against them, we have seen for our own eyes that boycotting games does actually work, probably best to just buy a ticket for each game and see what develops, because buying a season ticket or half season ticket, would be playing into their hands.

Former Bullseye host Jim Bowen said:

“He’s done well to retain his dignity this far.

How is being a compulsive liar "dignified" Jim? Also you should see the mess he's made of the bogs.


“He has been subjected to some battering.

“I’m not happy about any of the regime at Blackburn at the moment. I don’t think they know anything about football.”

Yeah well you don't know anything about darts or quiz shows either. In fact I reckon the Venkys would do a better job presenting Bullseye than you do. Yeah, the fat one with the pony tail - he could say "you've got one revolution of the prize board to make up your mind". While he does that you could sit in the Boardroom at Ewood in his place and make a few signings and give lady Desai a god seeing too now that Kean's bug.gered off.

Well said mate. Bravo! A shame indeed!

I hope the supporters of Rovers get thier just desserts , Steve Kean showed dignity throughout all the stick he and his family have had to go through, Any man shouldnt have to put up with that I hope Rovers go the same way as Rangers right to the bottom ,(not the players who were behind Steve) but the rotten core of fans who never got behind the manager, Cardiff Claret,
