D-Day for Kean at Blackburn
10:50pm Wednesday 16th May 2012 in Blackburn Rovers Relegation
By Andy Cryer, Blackburn Rovers reporter
STEVE Kean will have his Blackburn Rovers fate delivered to him tomorrow after being locked in talks for three hours with the club’s owners in India today.
The Rovers boss met with all four of the club’s owners at their Pune HQ where he is understood to have presented his case for being kept at the helm and his plan for the future.
Venky’s chairman Anuradha Desai, husband Jintendra and brothers Venkatesh and Balaji Rao were expected to discuss their thoughts before meeting again with Kean tomorrow.
Kean flys home on Friday and is expected to be told tomorrow whether he continues as Rovers boss. He is confident he will be remain in charge.
The exact nature of the talks were kept confidential, even from Venky’s advisers.
Venky’s sources have told the Lancashire Telegraph they are unsure whether club matriarch Desai will be persuaded by fellow co owners and advisers to finally ‘pull the trigger’.
Desai has been Kean’s sole staunch supporter within the club’s hierarchy in recent months after a run of disastrous results condemned Rovers to Premier League relegation.
She has continually been advised a change in manager is needed, with former deputy chief executive Paul Hunt even sending an email requesting his sacking before he himself was axed.
Having vented their anger towards Kean almost all season, supporters sent a petition to Desai on Tuesday demanding his sacking.
Kean was put under further pressure when a video was put on YouTube apparently showing him insulting former boss Sam Allardyce, a rant that has led to ‘Big Sam’ seeking legal advice.
Kean is understood to be suggesting candidates for a new management structure at Ewood Park, with press officer Paul Agnew reported as a possible contender.
It is understood the possibility of even moving Kean to another position has been considered, with a new manager then brought in either alongside or underneath him.
Should Kean be given the vote of confidence by the owners, it is understood there are a number of individuals keen to discuss their own futures at Ewood Park.

Aston Villa - Mcleish - Comfortably survived the league - Manager sacked
Liverpool - Dalglish - Won the League Cup and finished in the top 10 - Manager sacked
Blackburn Rovers - Steve Kean - Relegated in disgrace - Don't you fcking dare keep him on in any way shape or form.
We are ALL still waiting for that apology but all we get is that disgusting smile back when he is asked 'the' question on Sky Sports...

Whatever rubbish Kean and Anderson have been spouting should be instantly forgotten. In fact, Venky's should be suing the pair of them for ill advising them and causing their investment to falter.
Let there be no doubt Mrs Desai should you not sack Kean there will be thousands of individuals who will give up on venkys and Rovers untill you are all removed ,this IS the last chance saloon for you as far as we the fans are concearned let us down again at your peril.

Lost for words on this whole,sorry subject.seen the kean video and it disgusted me.never in 32 years of supporting rovers have I been so embarrassed to support my own club.but support I will.lets just hope there's an end to this sorry situation soon and pray that whoevers in charge next will bring us our reputation back.

Surely, well, you would have thought that they would have looked at all the evidence and made a decision before this meeting started. Why, let him make a pitch to save his job? This is all very suspicious to me. What on earth will he be telling them – that all our top players will be staying, that we will go up as champions, that we will win a cup this year. For goodness sake his entire Rovers managerial career has been built on garbage and false promises.
If the so far arrogant Mama Desia does not sack this creature Kean anyone who has bought/renewed a season ticket should cancel it immediately.
3 hour meeting?
It shouldn't have taken more than 5 minutes.
My gut feeling is telling me that they are just trying to make it look like that they (Venky’s) have thought long and hard before NOT sacking Kean. Even if they did sack him, I have zero faith in their abilities to get a decent manager in. They have not got a clue what/who a good manager is, and even if they did - nobody in their right mind would work for Venky’s atm. What a mess!
I have had an idea – why don’t we try and get them to change the song that the team runs out to. My vote goes to: queen - I want to break free; or if we were to be ironic: queen - we are the champions. They wouldn’t do it, but it would give them more grief and embarrassing headlines (if thousands of fans wrote in asking for it).

His target for next season is the First Division ("don't bother with this new fangled Premier League Mrs D, the First Division is what the club used to play in many years ago and the best, oh yes it is").
Jolly Jerry transfers all the players out and brings in the full Pune FC squad, taking full commission on each transaction.
Crowds are so low that Laurel and Hardy bros bulldoze Ewood for a new chicken processing plant using the parachute payment to pay for it and we embark on a ground share with Darwen FC.

"Should Kean be given the vote of confidence by the owners, it is understood there are a number of individuals keen to discuss their own futures at Ewood Park".
It's a very vague statement. Does it mean players want out, or backroom staff wants out, if Kean stays. Or perhaps both!!!
If Kean stays players out, backroom staff out, fans out What a shocking state of affairs.

More than anything or anyone, they are the problem and by 'pleading' with them somewhat legitimises them, IMO.
Surely Venky's can not redeem what they've done to this club by just sacking a useless manager. As someone pointed out above, they'll simply install cheap puppet number 2.
They've made their intentions of running this club quite clear.

Mrs Desai is to make a decision on Steve Kean’s future on Thursday 17th May, after a day of lengthy talks, today Wednesday.
Several issues are troubling her.
1. Falling attendances at Ewood Park.
2. Rock bottom season ticket sales.
3. The 5000 signature petition from Rovers fans for Kean’s removal.
4. The You-Tube video which has now had over 500,000 hits worldwide. And shows Kean acting like a foul mouthed lout.
5. Sam Allardyce’s pending possible legal action which may engulf Venky’s.
6. Copies of Andy Cryer’s comments decrying Kean in the Lancashire Telegraph.
Mrs Desai still holds a ‘torch’ for Kean and wants to retain him, strangely relegation does not over concern her. He is under pressure however from members of her family to get rid of Kean.
What should concern Rovers fans is that she is taking so long over it.
Here are Venky’s email addresses if you wish to try and help her with her decision.

I just wonder with Hunt gone, who else (apart from Kean) is actually advising them on the situation at Ewood........ dark forces?

Steve Kean has manoeuvred himself into a position of almost absolute power at Ewood Park, following the sacking of deputy chief executive Paul Hunt.
Hunt was sacked following the leaking of a letter he had sent to Rovers owner Mrs Anaurdha Desai, back in December. Hunt recommended the sacking of Kean plus a 10 point plan for the way forward. The letter also laid bare Rovers precarious financial position and the lack of investment by the Venky group.
Mrs Desai made known the contents of the letter to Kean, sending him a copy.
Kean was seething and immediately started plotting his revenge.
You cross Kean at your peril; we are talking about a very devious man. Just ask John Jensen and several departed players. Indeed ask Sam Allardyce, John Williams or Tom Finn all victims of Kean’s devious plotting and manipulation of Mrs Desai. Even the most obvious fraud will manage to hoodwink a few but Kean’s hold on Mrs Desai is unbelievable, he really has her fooled and has let her down big time.
Kean, a jobbing coach, has really tapped into a rich vein of income that he could only have dreamed of, his complicity of Mrs Desai is total.
Kean will do anything to preserve his 1.3 million per annum salary plus perks. Kean is nothing more than a coach who got lucky. A coach’s income is pretty low in footballs pecking order.
Paul Hunt’s letter was allegedly leaked by Kean to all media outlets to cause embarrassment to Mrs Desai and her family and do maximum damage to Hunt and the club.
Kean wants ally Paul Agnew, Rovers press officer, installed in Paul Hunts job so giving him an impregnable power base. Other victims on Kean’s hit list include director of football Simon Hunt, financial director Karen Silk and PA Lindsey Talbot plus he also has in his sights the removal of Rovers / Lancashire telegraph reporter Andy Cryer and replaced by someone Kean ‘friendly’. Cryer has become a cult hero to Rovers supporters in his attempts to get Kean removed.
Kean is so devious he does not care who falls victim to his cunning (inc; Reg).
Nick Harris of sportingintelligence
.co.uk and Mail on Sunday journalist’ let the cat out of the bag’ by issuing a statement that Paul Hunt did not leak the infamous letter.
NO IT WAS LEAKED BY KEAN, (Allegedly).
He will do anything to preserve his new found riches.
Venkatesh Rao issued a statement saying Paul Hunt had been sacked in a cost cutting exercise. So that’s ok then, if you believe that, you will believe anything. I wonder what reduction Kean is going to take in his salary for his failures.
DON’T HOLD YOUR BREATH !

May I publically offer my sincere apologies to Jerome (the man who ruined Blackburn Rover) Anderson.
For the past eighteen months I have consistently accused Anderson (above) of being responsible for the sacking of proven manager Sam Allardyce by recommending to Mrs Desai that she sack Big Sam.
It now transpires I was wrong all along. Allardyce was sacked because the Venky’s thought him to be a ‘f…..g’ crook as revealed by Steve Kean in the infamous You-Tube video recorded in Hong Kong last summer, so Anderson is off the hook by virtue of Kean’s ‘words of wisdom’ revealed in an unguarded moment.
No doubt Big Sam will have his day in court and possibly extract a small fortune from both Kean and the Venky’s. Good luck to him.
Meanwhile Jerome Anderson can offer a smug rebuke saying it wasn’t down to him as he has said all along.
It has to be said that in the video Kean comes across as uncouth foul mouthed lout and not becoming of a Premiership manager.
We don’t want this man at Ewood park a moment longer.
If he stays, my prediction of attendances down to 12,000 will be sadly way off the mark. Rovers will be lucky to muster a1000 spectators.
THINK ABOUT IT MRS DESAI !
Reg
Footnote:
Will Anderson now jettison his client Steve Kean so as not to become implicated with Kean’s accusations? if not is he just as guilty by association.

1. ARE ROVERS FOR SALE? Yes they are, do not believe the Venky’s denials. £30m of anyone’s money will buy the club according to Alan Nixon of the Sunday People Sport.
2. LEARN FROM ASTON VILLA MRS DESAI.
Aston Villa owner Randy Lerner has sacked manager Alex Mcleish following demands that he go from Villa fans. Lerner realises that without supporters you have not got a club, so acted accordingly. Unlike Kean Mcleish kept Villa in the premiership and demands for his sackings were nowhere near those of the Rovers fans. Take note Mrs Desai !
3. APOLOGY. When are the fans to receive an apology from Kean and the owners for plunging us into relegation? When is Mrs Desai going to apologise for sacking Sam Allardyce? Until then bridges cannot be built.
4. COLIN HENDRY. It is reported Kean is to recruit ex Rover Colin Hendry onto the coaching staff. Not that Kean will take any notice of him, it is purely a PR exercise on Kean’s behalf. We will not be fooled.
5. YOU-TUBE. The infamous Kean video has had 400,880 hits as at the 16th May 3pm. everyone can now see what a uncouth foul mouthed creep of a manager Blackburn Rovers employ.
6. NICK BARMBY. Hull City have sacked manager Nick Barmby following his revelations that he could only play certain players at certain times due to financial restrictions also he complained about the new owners lack of investment.
Any chance of Kean doing that about Venky’s?
NO - He values his £1.3 million per annum too much to have any principles.
7. TIMES OF INDIA. Want to make your views known to Mrs Desai? She does’nt read the Lancashire Telegraph, watch Sky Sports, read the British Press, or look at any fans websites including this one. But she does read the Times Of India and cares what they think and what they report about Blackburn Rovers and the Rao family. So simply do what I do and email the Times of India times@giasdl01.vsnl.

Money has already been made I reckon, so it could be that they realise that they will get some more if they sell, but could lose everything if they don't.

Lancashire county borders did not change in 1974.
Lancashire county COUNCIL boundaries changed.
In 1974, new 'administrative counties' were created, but these did not affect the boundaries of the ancient and geographical counties and the boundaries of Lancashire remained unaltered.
However, because the media began to refer to these new 'administrative counties' instead of continuing to use the names and identities of the geographical counties, some people were misled into thinking that they had been moved over night into a new county.
Maps represent administrative areas, not geographical areas.
Blackburn is no longer administered by Lancashire County Council, therefore, on maps Blackburn no longer appears in Lancashire.
Infact, the entity of Blackburn no longer appears, what you see is a 'place' called 'Blackburn with Darwen'.
Unfortunately, Wikipedia editors refuse to accept these simple facts. But that is Wikipedia for you.
The counties of this country are an integral part of our history and culture and it is essential that their true identity is preserved.
Until 1974 the identities of most of the ancient and geographical counties of the United Kingdom had remained essentially unaltered for over a thousand years.
Very little needs to be done to undo the damage to this county identity that has occurred since 1974, but unless steps are taken now, we run the risk of losing this very important part of our heritage.
You can help by always referring to the geographical county in which you live, not the administrative county.
Our county is called Lancashire, not Cumbria, Greater Manchester, Merseyside or part of Cheshire.

There's no way they can "revive" Rovers, Greece has a better chance of staying in the Eurozone; the media have at last caught up with Venkys and a lot of footie journos have caught up with Keano apart from a few old-lags of the managers and former players cosy club.
My money remains of Kean being in charge to supervise the debacle of a total collapse before the year end.

That said, we are not completely helpless to advocate changes should nothing change and he remains.
The problem is not everyone has the stomach to do whatever required: not buy season tickets or any goods, engender a culture whereby everyone and anyone attends matches understands that they are contributing to the downfall of the club.
An empty stadium is the best weapon we have in our arsenal. A half empty stadium just won't do. We need to publicly embarrass Kean and Venky's repeatedly as the media reports on the fans boycott off the club which will take its toll on both Kean's management and on Venky's worldwide reputation. Combine that with the likelihood of the Keanadonna having the club fighting relegation again next season and it will eventually pay off.
The problem is once the dust settles on this story and the season starts, many supporters will likely throw in the towel and attend the matches, which is exactly what Venky's and Kean will be banking on.

Well, Mrs Desai, you have got every decision catastrophically wrong so far and if you get this one wrong it will be the most monumental mistake of the lot.
Another season with not only an apology of a manager, but a human being as well, will see us in the relegation mire again next season and the destruction of this club virtually complete.
The first team squad will either be wiped out or in open revolt against this idiot of a leader, despised by most players and virtually all fans, with more training ground and dressing room bust-ups and a team with no stomach to compete in the Championship never mind the Premier League.

I've renewed my ST but am asking for a refund if he's still around.
.
He's shown himself to be utterly, totally dishonourable.
.
Football fans aren't laughing at BRFC, but they certainly giggle at the garbage Kean puts out.
.
He's wanted to make a name for himself, well Steve, you've certainly achieved that. Your family must be very impressed. What will your children think of you in years to come?
.
Where is your honour?
.
Where is your self-respect?
.
Do the right thing, by all means negotiate a deal for yourself, but please, please go. To not be able to walk safe and free on the streets of Blackburn is a terrible indictment of what you have put the fans through.

You are not supporting the club by giving Venkys money you're just helping to undermine it. STOP GIVING YOUR MONEY TO VENKYS AND THEY WILL BUGGER OFF.
If Kean's there next season, I won't be.

Traitors - with no respect for the Kean. But these people have to ask themselves this: if they can't respect the manager Steve Kean, how can they possibly respect THEMSELVES?
They might not like him. They may think he has a drink problem, or tells lies, or that he has a particularly bad case of diarrhoea for chrissakes. But they MUST learn to RESPECT THE KEAN.
