    These people will only be satisfied when Kean is gone regardless of the position the club may find themselves in.
    Hopefully, as promised through these columns, they haven't renewedtheir tickets and wont be near Portman Road or Ewood over the first 3 games so we dont have to tolerate their 5th column attitude.
    heres to three quick defeats and to the kean luvvies UP YOURS!!!!!!!!
    here to NO defeats.......surely people know by now that whether it is three defeats or 23 defeats Kean wont be going anywhere. To think anything different is to ignore the obvious firm grip he has on his position. The grip wont last - but three defeats wont move him on. All that will do is condemn us to another terrible season. Win-Win-Win....start




    ing at Ipswich (though a draw would be a good result)....! But no defeats please! No surrender, to Kean or Venkys or Ipswich.
    your @rse must be sore from keep sitting on that fence!!!!!!
    Benal13, Frenchy is not sitting on the fence he is pointing out that while he wants Kean out he still wants Blackburn Rovers to win games
    That is not hard to understand unless you are extremely thick??????
    He also points out that 3 games does not mean automatic sacking as has been suggested.
    However, I, like Frenchy and Oakdale want us to win games regardless.
    You call yourself a fan????
    Get behind the team and forget about Kean. In the fullness of time that will look after itself.
    BRFC will be here long after Venkys and Kean have gone.
    You are boring my friend spouting the same c... every single day
    Jog on down the M65 10 miles there is a team there that has loads of fans just like you
    The point is being missed here, the process of kean being booted out of the club and which now can not be backed tracked on without Venky's looking like complete fools worlwide is this :- 1 - The team losing big, 2 - The players distancing themselves from Kean and 3 - Fans boycotting at least the first home game.
    The point is not being missed - the points being made are that
    1) No matter what we lose by or whom we lose to or how many games we lose then Kean is not (unfortunately) going anywhere just yet.
    2) The players are actually aligning with Kean now - due to Shebby's remarks about Pedersen. Who do you think called the Players Union in.
    3) Boycotting fans wont make one iota of difference to the Venkys.

    Kean is now using the Shebmesiters words against him and publicly slating Shebby off (today) in the media. It is quickly building to become a climax of 'personalities' between the two camps.
    Who will be stronger and who will the Venky regime back? Kean or Shebby. The end game is on lads.....the winner takes all!
    Just hope that we still have a football club left at the end of it."

BLACKBURN ROVERS COLUMN: Last chance saloon for Kean to get this right

2:00pm Thursday 16th August 2012 in News Photograph of the Author By Andy Cryer , Blackburn Rovers reporter

ANYONE who was at the open meeting between supporters and Shebby Singh on Saturday morning and thought it ‘went well’ was surely in the wrong place.

Singh has made a good impression since coming in as global advisor but on Saturday he made his first big ‘gaffe’.

It was far from his finest hour.

I have no problems with setting Steve Kean targets – after all he is the luckiest man to be in a job as it is – but the personal comments about both the Scot and Morten Gamst Pedersen were completely out of order.

Shebby is adamant his comments about Pedersen were misinter-preted and that he wasn’t describing the Norwegian when he mentioned the word ‘pensioner’. He also insists his off-the-cuff personal comments about Kean were said in ‘jest’ and that he is deeply sorry for any hurt caused.

I believe him. I don’t believe he meant any harm but that does not take the away the fact that he should not have said what he said.

His efforts of trying to appease the supporters went too far, far too far.

Some of Rovers’ squad are rightly upset about the Pedersen comm-ents.

Singh has apologised though and we now have to move on.

After all the talk, the posturing and the bold promises, the moment of truth is finally upon us.

Blackburn Rovers fans have had to put up with another eventful summer off the field, as boardroom and management issues at Ewood Park continued to over take the football.

Singh’s explosive comments over the weekend were far from perfect timing – or well advised – but, despite his warnings, Kean has had things the way he wanted this summer.

The under fire manager somehow managed to save his job in crisis talks in India earlier this summer and since then has been backed to the hilt, financially at least, to bring together a squad he wants.

The majority of the squad are now behind him, although there is a dissenter or two left out in the cold, and there are simply no excuses now not to deliver.

Kean has already signed eight players this summer and, having been promised a team the Championship should be frightened of, the fans will rightly expect nothing but promotion.

Anything else but a return to the Premier League will be deemed a failure and, with big wages being paid to players on long contracts, not returning to the top flight could well prove expensive.

Rovers have made some good signings over the past few months, along with a few that have raised eyebrows and left us all unsure about what is to follow.

Singh’s pledge that Kean would be sacked if Rovers lost three games in a row was an unwise thing to do in front a room of supporters but I don’t disagree.

Surely Kean has been given too many chances already, but things like this are better said behind closed doors.

This has to be last chance saloon for the man still looking to prove he can cut it as a manager. He knows it, the fans know it and you just hope Venky’s know it.

Rovers’ Championship kick-off at Ipswich on Saturday is supposed to be a new dawn. We have heard it all too often and it will need to be seen to be believed.
