You are the second new poster to broach the racism card in two days ,it seems to be back on the agenda for some.
Ron Atkinson was a pioneer in introducing black players to our game,Think Brendan Batson,Viv Anderson and Cyrille Regis at West Brom.At Villa when they finished runners up in the Premier League 9 or 10 of their squad were coloured.
As for Ewood it is the Quality of player we are not happy about nothing else.

This fascination with forwards and midfielders is baffling to anyone who watched the shambolic defending last season. I know it's a stupid question, but is there anyone left at Ewood with a football brain?

Hi Wildy You do have an annoying habit of asking me a question then you answer it, I gave Kean hell as for Hendry what little respect I have for him gives him the chance to prove himself. Whats this safe distance thing, we can protest peacefully why do you promote me going over to some one and punching them, this would bring me down to your level, I will carry on protesting my way thank you very much, now go and relieve yourself to get rid of all that aggression.

Well yesterday you accused the whole of western football to be racist because non of them have employed a second rate Malasian no-body. . You are pathetic - our dislike of Venkys has NOTHING to to with race - in fact when they first became Rovers owners they came to Ewood and got a very walm welcome from Rovers fans. . You know obviously NOTHING about the situation at Ewood under Venkys and you have only started posting because a fellow Malasian has been employed by Venkies at Ewood and we have given a trial to some 2nd rate loser who just happens to be of the same nationality as yourself - how pathetic is that. . Now, get yourself a life and get off our message boards you pathetic no life LOSER !!

Aggression, punching? Never mentioned by me at all
Just making the point that as you have been so vociferous in your condemnation of Kean and Colin Hendry I would have thought you might have taken advantage of the access at Stanley to speak to them man to man with your opinions, but as I said you preferred to be part of the mob, safety in numbers etc.
Just an observation and only my opinion...
BTW you would have to come UP to my level.

Hmm being a bit elastic with the truth JC aren't you
I would agree that most Rovers fans are not racist but to say that Venky's were welcomed warmly is pushing it a bit and a lot of the distrust was because they were Indians, that is fact. Maybe only light racism and stereotyping like Indians cant play football only cricket etc but some posters on here went further.
You in particular regularly called them disgusting people and one at least one occassion referred to the Rao's as "darkies"
Yes you did, dont deny it because it was in print and I replied to you challenging that use of the word.
I think you can see the point

Kean never learns. That's one of the reasons he invites abuse, because after everything that has happened over the last 18 months he is still trying to lead the supporters on a merry dance. What happened last summer? Promises of the biggest budget ever turned into signing Petrovic and Goodwillie. This summer we were supposed to be signing 'experienced' players. We've now signed 3 Portuguese under 20's none of whom have experience of playing in the English league. Outrageous comparisons to world class players keep on coming. Its the kind of thing a 10 year old would do on a playing field. Colin Hendry hasn't returned to help the club. He's returned to help himself and his new best mate Kean. By praising, backing and working with our disgusting manager Hendry is knowingly sticking two fingers up at the thousands of supporters who want Kean gone. He ought to be ashamed of himself after being at the club when Jack Walker was here and now he's working for the Venky's. Sorry Colin but you've thrown your legendary status in the bin for backing Kean. Look at Garner - that's what a true legend should be doing - giving his backing to the supporters.

As far as I can remember Colin Hendry served this club well and has gone through hell and back over the last few years. We as supporters of this club, and most on this website, showed our compassion for a true legendary defender during in his dark days and now trying to come back into the club and help out he is instantly hated..??

Well if that is the case....out with that programme girl in the jack walker upper tier, yeah the one with the dark hair....she is Keans puppet too!!!

some of us need to grow up a little and start to love the club!! The club is the supporters and the history....Owners come and go, Managers come and go, legends will always be remembered and I for one think Hendry is one of them. In his day he wore his heart on his sleeve and through his body on the line week in week out!!!

The others Black, Singh and Agnew I can't comment but I wouldn't give them stick the minute they walk in the door!

Many of you will have lived with the ups and downs of Rovers, some of you will have cried with both happiness and sorrow. Those that have lived through much more of our clubs great history are in a better position than I to make this comment, but it needs to be said and it needs to be heard. I have never been as ashamed of Blackburn Rovers fans as I was in the 2011/2012 season.

I want you to put to the back of your mind any thoughts of unrest or anger at this comment if you had any. The first time I noticed a change in the fans during a game, beyond the normal calls for Kean’s head, was during the Rovers v Man City game. At half time, we amazingly were holding our ground against the (unbeknownst to us at the time) league champions. Let’s face it, City have spent an unprecedented amount of money over the past few seasons to bring in some of the biggest and best players in the world. Any team should be congratulating themselves for holding out for 45 minutes against such a team. The moment the first goal went in, regardless of the fact that we were playing incredibly poorly, the mood in the stadium changed and the fire was lit. The second started the fuse and the third set off the explosion. The ball had barely hit the back of the net before the uproar; louder than a Hercules airplane flying 10 feet above the stadium; it erupted not from the healthy sized City crowd but from our own supporters. It’s no wonder the fourth goal went in with such a disturbing reaction from the home teams own fans.

I want to say now, that I was unfortunately right there with many of you in calling for Kean’s head on a plate baked to a nice crisp with a Venky’s chicken stuffed in his mouth. This was however my only outburst of the season. At that point I thoroughly accepted defeat. 0 – 3 at just over 70minutes against such a high quality team is defeat. Does this mean we give up? Never. Granted, the season was only a month or so in but we should know from experience that goal difference can still count at the start of the season as it can at the end. Coming back to my original point, the continuing unrelenting heckling and abuse which came from fans during games was in my opinion disgraceful.

Before a game, after a game, during the week, at breakfast, at midnight or even while driving down the street past the stadium; these are the times which are acceptable to protest against the owners and manager (or anyone else for that matter). During a game, when the players need your help and support, is never the time to brandish flags and chant for a manager’s dismissal. I’m sure I’m not alone here in being sick and fed up with some fans constant negativity. Their intent seems to be to bring the players' moral to an all-time low and let me be the first to tell you, you succeeded. We looked tired, depressed and truly beaten for the majority of home games. Whilst, for once, our away record was improving. You only have to look at the Christmas period to notice how we were playing better and the results we got from it. But, once again, back on home turf our performance dipped.
I call on all of you, whoever you are, to keep the protests to outside of game time. Let us be the best supporters, which is often claimed, of our team. Let us join in celebration when we succeed and cheer support and encouragement when we fail. Arte et Labore should not just be applied to employees at Blackburn. We as fans should adhere to and live up to our own motto. If this means biting our tongue for 90minutes then so be it!

Ahh, Arglus, Rovers11-12, blueblooded, lovemyrovers etc, and now the_iconoclast.

Have you absolutely no shame? Trying to suggest racism as you have all along. The "dark forces" Steve Kean and Jerome Anderson allude to.

You are nothing short of a disgrace calling decent fans racists when you are only doing it to fulfil your own selfish sick ends.

And people wonder why the fans detest Steve Kean?

The man is a shameless disgrace, that's why.

Any team should be congratulating themselves for holding out for 45 minutes against such a team. The moment the first goal went in, regardless of the fact that we were playing incredibly poorly, the mood in the stadium changed and the fire was lit. The second started the fuse and the third set off the explosion. The ball had barely hit the back of the net before the uproar; louder than a Hercules airplane flying 10 feet above the stadium; it erupted not from the healthy sized City crowd but from our own supporters. It’s no wonder the fourth goal went in with such a disturbing reaction from the home teams own fans.

I want to say now, that I was unfortunately right there with many of you in calling for Kean’s head on a plate baked to a nice crisp with a Venky’s chicken stuffed in his mouth. This was however my only outburst of the season. At that point I thoroughly accepted defeat. 0 – 3 at just over 70minutes against such a high quality team is defeat. Does this mean we give up? Never. Granted, the season was only a month or so in but we should know from experience that goal difference can still count at the start of the season as it can at the end. Coming back to my original point, the continuing unrelenting heckling and abuse which came from fans during games was in my opinion disgraceful.

Before a game, after a game, during the week, at breakfast, at midnight or even while driving down the street past the stadium; these are the times which are acceptable to protest against the owners and manager (or anyone else for that matter). During a game, when the players need your help and support, is never the time to brandish flags and chant for a manager’s dismissal. I’m sure I’m not alone here in being sick and fed up with some fans constant negativity. Their intent seems to be to bring the players' moral to an all-time low and let me be the first to tell you, you succeeded. We looked tired, depressed and truly beaten for the majority of home games. Whilst, for once, our away record was improving. You only have to look at the Christmas period to notice how we were playing better and the results we got from it. But, once again, back on home turf our performance dipped.
I call on all of you, whoever you are, to keep the protests to outside of game time. Let us be the best supporters, which is often claimed, of our team. Let us join in celebration when we succeed and cheer support and encouragement when we fail. Arte et Labore should not just be applied to employees at Blackburn. We as fans should adhere to and live up to our own motto. If this means biting our tongue for 90minutes then so be it!

I to have tried to reason with the so called "true Rovers supporters" who come on hear spouting hatred and negativity almost towards everyone connected to the club.. I was also shot down like yourself.. I dislike Kean, he should be sacked, but it's not going to happen just yet. I hope the boo boys stay away because they really could be a contributing factor in a second relegation.. After saying that I believe some of them are Burnley fans stirring up hatred and unrest, unfortunatley some Rovers fans are like lemmings and just follow.. Watch them have a go at me now for supporting Rovers.... Remember now I am not supporting Kean or Venkys, just BRFC... the team I love.

some common sense. Some protesters looked fools last year booing when Yakubu scored in one of the games. Some even stood up for long periods in games protesting spoiling it for other supporters who were sat at back of them.

Surely the club should do something to stop it then, maybe actually state why Steve Kean is the manager. For what reason? It clearly isn't a footballing decision. From the reaction on Saturday its clear most supporters will not forget last season, without a new manager it will be hard to change the atmosphere... surely

All the shambles going on at Ewood recently has started to make me think of my very early memories of going to Watch the Rovers as a kid.

The first Goal keeper I remember was Roger Jones. I think he followed Ken Furphy, the manager to Newcastle, but not too sure what happened to him after that. I also often wonder what happened to Kit Napier.

Does anyone know what happened to those two?

Ken Furphy went on to manage Sheffield United and took with him the great Tony Field and David Bradford. It was Gordon Lee who took Roger Jones to Newcastle he ended his career as kit man for York City,Kit Napier having played for several third and forth division clubs before drifted out of the game.

your-fight



Many of you will have lived with the ups and downs of Rovers, some of you will have cried with both happiness and sorrow. Those that have lived through much more of our clubs great history are in a better position than I to make this comment, but it needs to be said and it needs to be heard. I have never been as ashamed of Blackburn Rovers fans as I was in the 2011/2012 season.

I want you to put to the back of your mind any thoughts of unrest or anger at this comment if you had any. The first time I noticed a change in the fans during a game, beyond the normal calls for Kean’s head, was during the Rovers v Man City game. At half time, we amazingly were holding our ground against the (unbeknownst to us at the time) league champions. Let’s face it, City have spent an unprecedented amount of money over the past few seasons to bring in some of the biggest and best players in the world. Any team should be congratulating themselves for holding out for 45 minutes against such a team. The moment the first goal went in, regardless of the fact that we were playing incredibly poorly, the mood in the stadium changed and the fire was lit. The second started the fuse and the third set off the explosion. The ball had barely hit the back of the net before the uproar; louder than a Hercules airplane flying 10 feet above the stadium; it erupted not from the healthy sized City crowd but from our own supporters. It’s no wonder the fourth goal went in with such a disturbing reaction from the home teams own fans.

I want to say now, that I was unfortunately right there with many of you in calling for Kean’s head on a plate baked to a nice crisp with a Venky’s chicken stuffed in his mouth. This was however my only outburst of the season. At that point I thoroughly accepted defeat. 0 – 3 at just over 70minutes against such a high quality team is defeat. Does this mean we give up? Never. Granted, the season was only a month or so in but we should know from experience that goal difference can still count at the start of the season as it can at the end. Coming back to my original point, the continuing unrelenting heckling and abuse which came from fans during games was in my opinion disgraceful.

Before a game, after a game, during the week, at breakfast, at midnight or even while driving down the street past the stadium; these are the times which are acceptable to protest against the owners and manager (or anyone else for that matter). During a game, when the players need your help and support, is never the time to brandish flags and chant for a manager’s dismissal. I’m sure I’m not alone here in being sick and fed up with some fans constant negativity. Their intent seems to be to bring the players' moral to an all-time low and let me be the first to tell you, you succeeded. We looked tired, depressed and truly beaten for the majority of home games. Whilst, for once, our away record was improving. You only have to look at the Christmas period to notice how we were playing better and the results we got from it. But, once again, back on home turf our performance dipped.
I call on all of you, whoever you are, to keep the protests to outside of game time. Let us be the best supporters, which is often claimed, of our team. Let us join in celebration when we succeed and cheer support and encouragement when we fail. Arte et Labore should not just be applied to employees at Blackburn. We as fans should adhere to and live up to our own motto. If this means biting our tongue for 90minutes then so be it!

I to have tried to reason with the so called "true Rovers supporters" who come on hear spouting hatred and negativity almost towards everyone connected to the club.. I was also shot down like yourself.. I dislike Kean, he should be sacked, but it's not going to happen just yet. I hope the boo boys stay away because they really could be a contributing factor in a second relegation.. After saying that I believe some of them are Burnley fans stirring up hatred and unrest, unfortunatley some Rovers fans are like lemmings and just follow.. Watch them have a go at me now for supporting Rovers.... Remember now I am not supporting Kean or Venkys, just BRFC... the team I love.

The first Goal keeper I remember was Roger Jones. I think he followed Ken Furphy, the manager to Newcastle, but not too sure what happened to him after that. I also often wonder what happened to Kit Napier. Does anyone know what happened to those two?

Ken Furphy went on to manage Sheffield United and took with him the great Tony Field and David Bradford. It was Gordon Lee who took Roger Jones to Newcastle he ended his career as kit man for York City,Kit Napier having played for several third and forth division clubs before drifted out of the game.

Lee took also Graham Oates who bad-mouthed the fans at Newcastle, which pretty much finished his career. Am I right in that belief?

Many of you will have lived with the ups and downs of Rovers, some of you will have cried with both happiness and sorrow. Those that have lived through much more of our clubs great history are in a better position than I to make this comment, but it needs to be said and it needs to be heard. I have never been as ashamed of Blackburn Rovers fans as I was in the 2011/2012 season.

I want you to put to the back of your mind any thoughts of unrest or anger at this comment if you had any. The first time I noticed a change in the fans during a game, beyond the normal calls for Kean’s head, was during the Rovers v Man City game. At half time, we amazingly were holding our ground against the (unbeknownst to us at the time) league champions. Let’s face it, City have spent an unprecedented amount of money over the past few seasons to bring in some of the biggest and best players in the world. Any team should be congratulating themselves for holding out for 45 minutes against such a team. The moment the first goal went in, regardless of the fact that we were playing incredibly poorly, the mood in the stadium changed and the fire was lit. The second started the fuse and the third set off the explosion. The ball had barely hit the back of the net before the uproar; louder than a Hercules airplane flying 10 feet above the stadium; it erupted not from the healthy sized City crowd but from our own supporters. It’s no wonder the fourth goal went in with such a disturbing reaction from the home teams own fans.

I want to say now, that I was unfortunately right there with many of you in calling for Kean’s head on a plate baked to a nice crisp with a Venky’s chicken stuffed in his mouth. This was however my only outburst of the season. At that point I thoroughly accepted defeat. 0 – 3 at just over 70minutes against such a high quality team is defeat. Does this mean we give up? Never. Granted, the season was only a month or so in but we should know from experience that goal difference can still count at the start of the season as it can at the end. Coming back to my original point, the continuing unrelenting heckling and abuse which came from fans during games was in my opinion disgraceful.

I respect people like that, they really believe that the crowd support can influence the team. The backing fans gave the team at periods during last season was fantastic, never commended, never praised and most importantly never rewarded.

The theory that if everyone turned up to Ewood and shouted Ra Ra Rovers all of the problems would go away is a lovely fairy story, during a match I like to act like this. When I come back and reflect I realise that the supporters are not the problem, the team and ultimately the manager are.

Remember through no fault of any fans we have been,

Relegated

Yes we are upset and very very angry but no no no not racist.

Would I like to see the worst manager in BRFC history removed/sacked, yes because of his results as a manager nothing else so kindly do NOT bring the racism card onto this forum again, its an insult to me and many more loyal Rovers fans.

Roger Jones got injured that day I think and had to be subbed. Did Price go in goal? Not sure.

Home on leave later that season and fell in love with a man.... Tony Field (not really but u know what i mean!)

Anyway HH, not a defeat where we capitulated, like City etc.

Surely the club should do something to stop it then, maybe actually state why Steve Kean is the manager. For what reason? It clearly isn't a footballing decision. From the reaction on Saturday its clear most supporters will not forget last season, without a new manager it will be hard to change the atmosphere... surely

The owners won't state why Kean is still the manager as they don't have a valid argument, not as far as footballing reasons go anyway. Let's not forget that the official reason Mrs Desai gave for sacking Allardyce was that he wasn't the right man to take us into the top five of the Premier League. How can they possibly justify keeping Kean on based on the same criteria? They can't, hence the wall of silence.

It's easy to understand why people post various theories regarding the level of involvement Kean actually has at the club. Personally, I don't believe he's a shareholder, co-owner or working for Glasgow gangsters. I think his continued employment is down to nothing more than a stubborn, old woman sat in Pune who doesn't like to be told what to do, especially as it's highly unlikely she'll ever get another 'yes man' with as brown a nose as Kean. Perhaps that explains all the licking of his top lip!

However, as I and a few others have already alluded to on these pages, Kean can't be sacked now that he's been given the owners' backing. Only poor performances will warrant a re-think which begs the question, if the team does under-perform, exactly how bad would they be willing to let things get before sacking Kean?

It doesn't now matter who they employ from now on, some of you will want them out immediately....

As far as I can remember Colin Hendry served this club well and has gone through hell and back over the last few years. We as supporters of this club, and most on this website, showed our compassion for a true legendary defender during in his dark days and now trying to come back into the club and help out he is instantly hated..??

Well if that is the case....out with that programme girl in the jack walker upper tier, yeah the one with the dark hair....she is Keans puppet too!!!

some of us need to grow up a little and start to love the club!! The club is the supporters and the history....Owners come and go, Managers come and go, legends will always be remembered and I for one think Hendry is one of them. In his day he wore his heart on his sleeve and through his body on the line week in week out!!!

The others Black, Singh and Agnew I can't comment but I wouldn't give them stick the minute they walk in the door!

I think you have to come to terms re conman Kean, that his ability to engage his brain with mouth or show signs of wisdom are limited. He is playing a game within a certain set of rules (who is pulling the strings and to what the game is, is another set of questions !), where he has been given a toy to play with he never ever dreamt he would ever have the opportunity. His continuous overly excited comments and reaction to his new unknown signings and in this dream position of fantasy football he finds himself in....dreams of a new Rooney or Irwin or Pele....also wanting to give the impression has THEE talent spotter of all times....it is what makes him feel he his playing his part and making the most of it of the opportunity of course. He is amazing lucky his wee game has lasted so long now...sadly for Blackburn Rovers.

I would therefore ask all those who condemn the likes of me, a staunch anti-Kean man tbh, how supporting him is the correct road to follow. I would suggest that many posters are unaware of the history of this club and have very little knowledge of that history.

I also note that many of the 'let's follow the team' brigade do not post outside of office hours.

No you did not state Aggression or punching but look at your statement above, this insinuates I should do something like that does it not?

I agree my condemnation of Kean and Hendry has been verbal and written but that does not make me "part of the mob" I am just like thousands of fans venting my frustrations at whats happening to my (and your) football club.

Just to finish of by saying you are entiltled to your observations and opinions some I will agree with and some I will disagree with and long may that continue.

Have a nice day LP.

No you did not state Aggression or punching but look at your statement above, this insinuates I should do something like that does it not?

I agree my condemnation of Kean and Hendry has been verbal and written but that does not make me "part of the mob" I am just like thousands of fans venting my frustrations at whats happening to my (and your) football club.

Just to finish of by saying you are entiltled to your observations and opinions some I will agree with and some I will disagree with and long may that continue.

Have a nice day LP.

I was sat right by the Rovers staff.I must admit,i thought more would sieze the opportunity to get up close and personal.One bloke got thrown out by Kevin Costner and another moved on by security.
Other than that,it came from behind the goal.
Colin Hendry could not have been more accessible.
Didn't hear one wrong word towards him.

Hi Wildy You do have an annoying habit of asking me a question then you answer it, I gave Kean hell as for Hendry what little respect I have for him gives him the chance to prove himself. Whats this safe distance thing, we can protest peacefully why do you promote me going over to some one and punching them, this would bring me down to your level, I will carry on protesting my way thank you very much, now go and relieve yourself to get rid of all that aggression.

Aggression, punching? Never mentioned by me at all Just making the point that as you have been so vociferous in your condemnation of Kean and Colin Hendry I would have thought you might have taken advantage of the access at Stanley to speak to them man to man with your opinions, but as I said you preferred to be part of the mob, safety in numbers etc. Just an observation and only my opinion... BTW you would have to come UP to my level.

your-fight



Many of you will have lived with the ups and downs of Rovers, some of you will have cried with both happiness and sorrow. Those that have lived through much more of our clubs great history are in a better position than I to make this comment, but it needs to be said and it needs to be heard. I have never been as ashamed of Blackburn Rovers fans as I was in the 2011/2012 season.

I want you to put to the back of your mind any thoughts of unrest or anger at this comment if you had any. The first time I noticed a change in the fans during a game, beyond the normal calls for Kean’s head, was during the Rovers v Man City game. At half time, we amazingly were holding our ground against the (unbeknownst to us at the time) league champions. Let’s face it, City have spent an unprecedented amount of money over the past few seasons to bring in some of the biggest and best players in the world. Any team should be congratulating themselves for holding out for 45 minutes against such a team. The moment the first goal went in, regardless of the fact that we were playing incredibly poorly, the mood in the stadium changed and the fire was lit. The second started the fuse and the third set off the explosion. The ball had barely hit the back of the net before the uproar; louder than a Hercules airplane flying 10 feet above the stadium; it erupted not from the healthy sized City crowd but from our own supporters. It’s no wonder the fourth goal went in with such a disturbing reaction from the home teams own fans.

I want to say now, that I was unfortunately right there with many of you in calling for Kean’s head on a plate baked to a nice crisp with a Venky’s chicken stuffed in his mouth. This was however my only outburst of the season. At that point I thoroughly accepted defeat. 0 – 3 at just over 70minutes against such a high quality team is defeat. Does this mean we give up? Never. Granted, the season was only a month or so in but we should know from experience that goal difference can still count at the start of the season as it can at the end. Coming back to my original point, the continuing unrelenting heckling and abuse which came from fans during games was in my opinion disgraceful.

Before a game, after a game, during the week, at breakfast, at midnight or even while driving down the street past the stadium; these are the times which are acceptable to protest against the owners and manager (or anyone else for that matter). During a game, when the players need your help and support, is never the time to brandish flags and chant for a manager’s dismissal. I’m sure I’m not alone here in being sick and fed up with some fans constant negativity. Their intent seems to be to bring the players' moral to an all-time low and let me be the first to tell you, you succeeded. We looked tired, depressed and truly beaten for the majority of home games. Whilst, for once, our away record was improving. You only have to look at the Christmas period to notice how we were playing better and the results we got from it. But, once again, back on home turf our performance dipped.
I call on all of you, whoever you are, to keep the protests to outside of game time. Let us be the best supporters, which is often claimed, of our team. Let us join in celebration when we succeed and cheer support and encouragement when we fail. Arte et Labore should not just be applied to employees at Blackburn. We as fans should adhere to and live up to our own motto. If this means biting our tongue for 90minutes then so be it!

I to have tried to reason with the so called "true Rovers supporters" who come on hear spouting hatred and negativity almost towards everyone connected to the club.. I was also shot down like yourself.. I dislike Kean, he should be sacked, but it's not going to happen just yet. I hope the boo boys stay away because they really could be a contributing factor in a second relegation.. After saying that I believe some of them are Burnley fans stirring up hatred and unrest, unfortunatley some Rovers fans are like lemmings and just follow.. Watch them have a go at me now for supporting Rovers.... Remember now I am not supporting Kean or Venkys, just BRFC... the team I love.

Surely the club should do something to stop it then, maybe actually state why Steve Kean is the manager. For what reason? It clearly isn't a footballing decision. From the reaction on Saturday its clear most supporters will not forget last season, without a new manager it will be hard to change the atmosphere... surely

The owners won't state why Kean is still the manager as they don't have a valid argument, not as far as footballing reasons go anyway. Let's not forget that the official reason Mrs Desai gave for sacking Allardyce was that he wasn't the right man to take us into the top five of the Premier League. How can they possibly justify keeping Kean on based on the same criteria? They can't, hence the wall of silence.

It's easy to understand why people post various theories regarding the level of involvement Kean actually has at the club. Personally, I don't believe he's a shareholder, co-owner or working for Glasgow gangsters. I think his continued employment is down to nothing more than a stubborn, old woman sat in Pune who doesn't like to be told what to do, especially as it's highly unlikely she'll ever get another 'yes man' with as brown a nose as Kean. Perhaps that explains all the licking of his top lip!

However, as I and a few others have already alluded to on these pages, Kean can't be sacked now that he's been given the owners' backing. Only poor performances will warrant a re-think which begs the question, if the team does under-perform, exactly how bad would they be willing to let things get before sacking Kean?

Just because you don't beleive that SK isnt a 5% shareholder dosent change the fact that he is.
.
I lifelong friend of mine has had access to the documentation given to the PL, FA and the govt and he said on the SK ownership point the proof within the document is "irrefutable" - that is one of the reasons why Scudamore got off his backside and arranged a meeting with the bigwigs at the FA as soon as he saw it.

Have you absolutely no shame? Trying to suggest racism as you have all along. The "dark forces" Steve Kean and Jerome Anderson allude to.

You are nothing short of a disgrace calling decent fans racists when you are only doing it to fulfil your own selfish sick ends.

And people wonder why the fans detest Steve Kean?

The man is a shameless disgrace, that's why.

Watch it herer you just crossed the line.

how dare you accuse me of calling you a racist?

If you have proof present it you slimy doped up toad.

Lol, watch it you!

Is that the worst insult in your house, the line crosser; wrongly accusing someone of calling them racist?

What a goon.

I can't be arsed going back through your posts, but let's be honest, if I did., then I'd no doubt find that they wouldn't do you any favours.

Maybe he thinks if he signs players who cant speak English they won't realise the fans are constantly shouting for thier manager to be sacked.
