CI Posted September 29, 2012 Share Posted September 29, 2012 I used to think Kean was a tool, but a bit like Andy Murray, I've warmed to him over the last couple of months. Hope he gets another job & does well somewhere Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
The_Rev Posted September 29, 2012 Share Posted September 29, 2012 I think he has got about as much chance of getting another job any time soon as Alex McLeish. I still somewhat subsribe to the theory that the Venkys have done quite well out of this, they clearly arent interested in football but their brand of frozen chicken is more ore less a household name because of all the headlines they have generated. If supermarkets are as difficult to break into as people keep saying then they just took one hell of a short cut. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
villarule123 Posted September 29, 2012 VT Supporter Share Posted September 29, 2012 Blackburn fans are hilarious, and deluded. Yes Steve Kean is not a great manager and is full of bullshit, but the owners are the main problem and are running the club like a circus. Fans on the radio are talking as if they have won the Champions League and are urging fans to make it a sellout for the next home game.. I mean come on.

ryanvilla_1994 Posted September 29, 2012 Share Posted September 29, 2012 I thought the abuse he got from the fans was disgusting tbh. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Zatman Posted September 29, 2012 Share Posted September 29, 2012 treatment he got was disgusting, no matter how bad he was he was trying his best and personal abuse isnt needed. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
RunRickyRun Posted September 29, 2012 Share Posted September 29, 2012 I'd hardly call 'Kean out' (which was their main chant) 'disgusting'. He was the one who lied to the fans. A few probably went beyond but there's an idiot fringe at every club. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Keyblade Posted September 29, 2012 Share Posted September 29, 2012 I don't blame the fans. I think it was quite clear from the reactions he was getting that he wasn't going to go anywhere for a while despite the massive fans backlash. He has, however, shown himself to be tactically useless and a poor motivator. Venky's are on a different planet. Apparently one of their board has said they're 'disappointed' that he quit. About 4 days after the 'global ambassador' pretty much said he was a dead man walking. I mean, who is this Singh bloke that keeps on shooting his mouth off? Shambles He was a pundit on ESPN here in the Malaysia/Singapore region, and not even a very good one (spent most of his time arguing with the touchy Steve McMahon about nothing ). It perplexes me how he's suddenly Mr. Hot Shot at BRFC. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

The_Rev Posted September 29, 2012 Share Posted September 29, 2012 We pay Shearer and Lawro for opinions. The bar isn't exactly high. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
NurembergVillan Posted September 30, 2012 Moderator Share Posted September 30, 2012 Living in the north of England, some of the folks at work are Rovers fans. It seems like their situation has been exactly as ours under McLeish, except they went down. Apparently, depot results, the football this season has been as dire as last and they've owed more to good fortune than good performances. With the Venkys in charge it will be interesting to see what kind of manag they could attract. I doubt Shearer would join a club outside the Premier League, but Rovers fans seem to think Sherwood is prime candidate even thou they'd rather have someone with a track record. A we know, though, there aren't many with good records knocking about. Could be an interesting one for Curbishley. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

NeilS Posted October 2, 2012 Share Posted October 2, 2012 I see that OGS is being linked with the Blackburn job on the beeb. Interesting, considering he said he didn't want to uproot his family to manage Villa 6 months ago? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
BOF Posted October 2, 2012 Moderator Share Posted October 2, 2012 I don't know why Sky have this habit of painting failed managers out as having done a good job. They did it with McLeish and they did it again with Kean. They said he had left Blackburn in fairly good shape. They're in the f**king Championship. He was a disaster. Maybe Sky just try and stay pally with anyone who they might want to use as a pundit of any description in the future; and just don't want to burn any bridges rather than telling it as it is and how everyone else can see it. I can't remember them ever saying someone had done a bad job. The closest you'll get is them citing a difficult working environment. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

The_Rev Posted October 2, 2012 Share Posted October 2, 2012 Media always blame the fans. Ex players do especially. It's odd how much of an emphasis there is on it too, some would have you believe that how loud the fans sing is directly related to how well the team does. If that is the case then why have Manchester United and Arsenal been two of the most successful teams in the past 10-15 years? Why are Pompey in the third tier? Maybe it is actually about the players and manager after all? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
