Bit low of someone to take voyeurcam, but a bit stupid of Kean too - though I think he was just trying too hard to get the fans onside.

Sounds a bit old though with the Carling Cup comment.

I think he'd had a bit to drink, which is why A) he didn't realise he was being filmed, B) he made the comments he did.

Starting to feel sorry for the bloke. If ever there was a lesson to any young manager to make sure you have the right foundation at a club to allow you to show your worth, that is it.

His only faux-pas was his potty mouth! He lambasts a man for his inability to judge a youth players and talks of having faith in his team.

Kean has had a awful season, most clubs would have canned him by now.

The clip will be filed under 'witch hunt'.

Kean is acting here like most people involved in football do,its completely normal behaviour from my own personal experiences in talking to people involved in football.
 Love the sound of their own voice's and run down others in the game.

See he's taken the trip to india, what a trip to make if you are going to be sacked, you suspect theyare not gonig to sack him and Blackburn fans will go mental - maybe the Venks are secret agents charged to take down Blackburn

He will get a 5 year deal

Allardyce is suing  ::)

Done for drink driving as well i seem to remember a year or so back.....ala Ray Wilkins :no:

Bloke seems to have an inflated opinion of his own ability-when in fact he has none.

In the video does he make a bet that Blackburn finish in the top half and win the league cup?

I didn't mind him before but he seems like a twat now.

To be fair to him, I've heard rumours that Jones wasn't thought very highly of as a youngster at Blackburn by most of the coaches there. Hanley was thought to be the better prospect apparantly.

Steve Kean-Shite manager; Cult hero!

To be fair at first I thought Blackburn fans were being harsh and not giving the bloke a fair chance....the more I see of him the more I think he's a cunt and would be acting the exact same way if I supported Blackburn.

They can't sack him yet, he hasn't achieved his aim:

http://www.guardian.co.uk/football/2011/jul/26/blackburn-rovers-champions-league?INTCMP=SRCH

To be fair to Kean the "Champions League in 4 seasons" came from the owners (who thought it was achievable) and was their main reasoning for sacking Allardyce (as they didn't think he could achieve it). Of course they were right - he wouldn't have got them in to the CL, but at least they'd have had the consolation of still being in the Premier League.

Did anyone read about the money laundering rumours that he's supposedly involved in?

Sounds like a right dodgy cunt.

Why sack Allardyce then put in his no2 to achieve champions league status?
Don't see it myself and it all looks dodgy as fuck

I didn't say I agreed with it, just stating what the owners said at the time they sacked him. Not sure there was anything dodgy about the decision, the owners thought they knew best and obviously didn't - you might not get the most attractive football with Allardyce but you're pretty much guaranteed a top half PL finish.

It is dodgy. He wasnt our No2 which Allardyce pointed out when he was sacked. Kean is on the books of a certain agent who set up the sale of Rovers to the Venkys. As an Agent cant own a football club it makes you wonder if theyve found a way round this. As for Kean getting death threats, this is a lie, no one has been arrested by Lancs Police in all the protests at Ewood. His so-called bodyguard was a media sympathy trick, the guy is actually his driver due to Keans driving ban(we didnt spike his drink, the judge said he was a liar). Most of the managers and pundits i.e- Stelling, Nicholas,Merson, Coyle and Moyes are on the books of the same Agency as Kean.
We dont expect sympathy from other fans, as its all banter when another club is having a bad run but its all fans who suffer when asset stripping takes place in football. We never expected to stay at the top table for long and we would never have got there if it wasnt for Jack but we will shout out loud while we're being robbed of our club.
KEAN/VENKYS/SEM.KENTARO-OUT

Keep at em, they haven't exactly been good for your club

Seems like Kean has got away with it again then, how can he survive after all that has happened.

Unfortunetly for blackburn fans their next step is to start hitting the owners in the pocket, try and force their hand I think they may struggle in the championship as players may think twice about going there and Kean does not seem capable of forging any unity at the club

The problem is if he does survive it must be Kean going out to India telling Venkys what to do next.
Anyone who advises Venkys to sack Kean ends up themselves being sacked. Williams our respected CEO was paid off after complaining that Kean wasnt running transfers via the board of directors.
The signings of Bruno Ribero and Myles Anderson stink. Neither have played a match even when we had a defensive injury crisis. Myles Andersons father is Keans Agent. He's only ever played 20 mins for Aberdeen but Kean says he's the next Chris Smalling  :Ride On Fatbury's Lovestick:

my take on this whole scenario is that had the blackburn fans given kean a chance to prove himself rather than organising marches from day 1 then he may well have been given the boot by now. 

seems that the owners have been digging their heels in by keeping him on in order to spite the fan base.

might be way off target with these thoughts?

But how does ruining a perfectly decent PL club sit with the Venky's (or whoever) investment. Are you saying they are fraudulently ripping their own club off?

If its their club?  May be owned by someone who's not allowed to own a football club. Or theyve realised they'd have to put alot of their own money to keep Prem survival. Or a few parties have done their sums and realised theres a profit to be had in asset stripping, they coulnt get rid of the high earners quick enough. Kean has been lying all season about Nelsen, Salgado and Roberts being injured, when really it was that if they had a few more appearances theyd receive another year on their contracts. We never protested about Kean from day one but we knew that Sam had been set up by somebody. We only stayed up last season on the back of the points Sam had banked.
P.S Congrats on your promotion.

What money has been put in and what is the value of the assets that could be stripped?

25 Million plus the debt which made it 43 mill. But they remortgage the club on future Prem revenue. Barclays got spooked a couple of months back realising we'd be relegated so demanded 10 mill off them.
Google  stevekeanconspiracytheory.  Could be far fetched but so far its starting to fit.

The second part of the question was, what is the value of the assets that could be stripped?...

So far 30 mill in player sales. Parachute payments next?? only time will tell, if they pocket the lot.
We did sign a player for 400 grand with agents fee of 1.6 mill along with other players we've never seen.
Venkys dopped Rovers accountant who were local and who had done the books for over a hundred years.

And then rung his neck and hung him up by the legs.

Thats the thing, he got a new big contract so if he's sacked he'll be a rich man from being 4th in the coaching order under Sam. But then Venkys will have to look for another patsy.
If theyre in it together they might givehim the big payout or move him upstairs or carry on regardless. The last option will look very dodgy tho.
It will all come out one day. follow the money.
Like i said we dont want sympathy because like yourselves clubs have their ups and downs but we will make a noise when we have 'wrong 'uns' in charge.
Dave whelan said ages ago that he doesnt like what he's hearing about his old club. Graham Taylor said he had heard alot of iffy goings on at Ewood. The fans knew it was dodgy when John William and Tom Finn were told that Kean would run the club and wouldnt have to go through them about signings.

this is all very interesting OSG, i'm sure i'm not alone as a football fan in having complete ignorance about what is 'actually' going on up at ewood - as evidenced by my earlier post.

true or not you definately raise some intriguing ideas - ideas that will maybe look daft to many outsiders - but again i'm sure i'm not alone as a swindon fan in being sympathetic.  we ourselves had a very unsavoury character in a very high level position a few years ago.

i'm sure people reading our views of said character from the outside would have baulked at some of our suggestions but there are some very dodgy folks out there involved in football...

all the best for the future, the truth will out

Parsnips. I fucking love em

Hahaha

Can't stand Blackburn. Can't stand Kean - made for each other. Even Venky doesn't make up for Duncan Shearer you cunts.

And thats what being a fan should be about. Hating everyone else  :smugfu: Usually find the name calling lot aren't up to much, usually getting excited after watching some crappy Danny Dyer film.
Football hooligans= 5% maniacs, 95% shit fighters

I have sympathy for the fans of Blackburn. I'd vote with my feet if i supported them.

What you doing on a Swindon forum then OSG? Not having a go, just curious. Seems a bit random.

Can we have Shearer back now?

indeed, i forgot to ask that.  how did you find this thread?

Always hated Reading which gave me an interest in yourselves. The way your town has grown you should be in the big leagues, but that might come if you can keep hold of your manager.
A few have mentioned crooks at your club recently, who were they?

Well said. i think you'll find the word "cunt" is not used as a sign of hardness on this forum.

 That Dolly deserved hers kicin' in.

I could go on for hours about this one,

Mike Diamindis, Andrew Andronikou, Bob Holt, James Wills, Maurice Malpas, Best Holdings, St Modwen,

the list goes on

(No chicken farmers though)

To put the record straight, those in bold have, as far as I know, never been convicted of anything. Malpas wasn't a crook, just a shit manager. James Wills wasn't a crook, just a 'Tim Nice But Dim' chinless fuckwit......

Diamandis? Fucking crook.

IMO doesnt matter if they havent been convicted of anything, they were just wankers soapy tit wank

Malpas wasn't a wanker, he was just useless.

I thought Seton was the useless Wills but his son, James, was the shifty one.

It matters if you call them crooks.

Someone will be getting a solicitors letter soon ;)

Really? Best get my legal aid sorted then

Getting back to the thread title, it seems Steve Keane will not be getting sacked - especially if he knows where the bodies are buried.
