[Archived] Steve Kean

[Kelbo]

Our signings in the summer were Benjani and Diouf on loan.

Surely not the same players we are looking to sign permanently despite their inept performances?

[chaddyrovers]

From the people article written by dave kidd, he said that Balaji and Venkatesh Rao are to want a more experienced manager at Ewood Park.

But who is this person and will he be able to attract better quality players and are they going to back the manager a decent transfer money pot.

Does anybody know how much has Kean got to spend in the summer?

[imy9]

I agree the squad was average at best but that does not mean we "certain" to be in a relegation battle because we had a very good manager who knew what he was doing. In my opinion we would have finished at least better than the 10th place achieved in 2009-10.

I was worried at one stage about our form at one stage under Sam but always had faith in him to pull through - unlike Kean.

I didn't say we would finish in the top 4 - if you read it properly it was a rhetorical reply to your nonsense about the "certainty" of us being in a relegated battle under Sam.

Here is what you said after the Chelsea game (30th October 2010)

"Playing badly and winning = mark of champions.

Playing well and losing = relegation candidates.

Whichever way you dress it up, it was one and possibly three points squandered today.

Added to the other points unnecessarily dropped and they make the difference between staying up and going down next May.

I'm worried."

Due to your poor eyesight I have highlighted the bits where you think we were going to finish at least 10th... sorry relegation candidates.

You want another one?

2nd December 2010:

"We could be relegated because it's that kind of season" No hint of 10th or better here is there?

Finally your point about us finishing in 4th place makes me laugh Jim- as I said Message board Gold!

If those are our only signings this summer then I am worried, but we have signed Rochina and Formica already so investment is being made.

[Beta Ray Bill]

So the media that didn't quite manage to undermine the club enough to create unrest that lead to relegation, starts early with unsettling in the close season.

Has any paper reported good news such as season ticket pricing?

owners have a diiferent view on Kean. interesting article

Every single person I speak to at the moment is saying to me Kean simply needs to go, however I am ready to wipe the slate clean and see how he goes.

With our owners making one of the strangest decisions in recent times to actually appoint him, let's hope to hell Jerome's judgement proves fruitful.

I gave up believing anything the national media said long ago, this is the first article claiming a split in the ranks, It’ll be interesting to see if anything comes of this, most of the time is simply lies by the journalists, nothing more.

You don't understand simple English, do you ?

As someone famously said, you can argue with an idiot until you are blue in the face, but they will always beat you with experience.

Why don't you address the rest of his post, Jimbo?

Or is that 'cos he just schooled you?

no quotes or anything. However if it is true(not being sexist ,it would be same if she was a bloke) then how can this woman who has been to ONE chuffing game (mind you still one more than some gobbies on here ) in her life and is running our club ,how can she HONESTLY know who is a good manager or not.(i know where shes hearing it but ffs ARGHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHH)

Someone (whoever is highest ranked NON PUPPET) should fly out and tell this deluded woman some home truths about the history of the club and fans,what rovers is all about and just what football is all about....TO THE FANS MRS D ITS OUR LIFE,PASSION AND THE REASON WE GO TO WORK AND SAVE TO WATCH OUR BELOVED CLUB.....GET IT INTO YOUR THICK HEAD WE ARE ROVERS TIL WE DIE AND NOT JUST YOUR PET PLAY THING....ITS REAL LIFE FOOTBALL NOT FOOTBALL MANAGER WHERE YOU GO BACK TO A SAVED GAME IF IT GOES CHICKEN ASS UP!!!!!!!!!

Found that quote interesting. You had no faith in Kean to turn it round but he did in the that why we arnt playing championship football next season?

Come on Old Chap no need to resort to insults, why don't you use that superior intellect of yours and respond to the points made, I even highlighted sections for you

Maybe Nicko could make any comment about Dave Kidd article? Any truth in it?

[ABBEY]

Edit- Abbey not a chance of a reply, I'd give up asking.

i know theres not but it shows him for what he is...someone who thinks drink driving is worse than a ###### footy manager...

[cruz]

someone who thinks drink driving is worse than a ###### footy manager...

Who thinks that?

jim mk2

jim said its better to be a drink driver than be a ###### football manager.

Do you still believe anything he says?

[imy9]

Do you still believe anything he says?

Can you give an example of anything Nicko has reported that is factually inaccurate? His opinion on Kean is exactly that.

[thenodrog]

Abbey let it drop. Who cares? It's what happens on the pitch that matters to the supporters. You make it sound like a drink driving conviction should result in a trip to ther gallows.

[ABBEY]

just riles me gord when jim wont reply to things . drink driving is an awful thing to do and results often in death.Jim peed me off when he said it....alls he needs to do is reply and i wont mention it again.

[thenodrog]

I believe nothing that a red top journo says. I might make a mental note but thats it. Sometimes they are accurate sometimes it's spin and sometimes it's malicious mischief making. Until they report accurately and factually then the only way to not be taken in is to take it all with a large pinch of salt. Heed the old saying....... believe half of what you see and none of what you hear (or in this case read).

btw have you got to the bottom of the story of the London Transport bus spotted on the moon with Elvis at the wheel yet imy?

just riles me gord when jim wont reply to things .

He's been doing that for 10 years at least! He'll not change now. I'm told Gav's put me on ignore cos he can't cope so just you do the same with Jim.

[imy9]

Theno- I will try again- you said do you still believe anything he says in reference to Nicko, I asked can you give an example of when he has been wrong. You have a vendetta against him which has been bordering on X Files hysteria.

As far as I have read his stuff on Venkys, the takeover etc have been spot on, BPF, even Philip acknowledges this but I suppose your sources are telling you something else...same ones who told you ticket prices were rising or different ones lol!

[PAFELL]

If a death is caused by it - I believe it should.
