The Blackburn Rovers manager, Steve Kean, is to appear in court next month after being charged with drink-driving hours after his side's draw against Manchester United.

Kean was stopped by police officers in Cheshire on Saturday night and provided a positive breath test. He was subsequently released on bail and will be free to take charge of Blackburn's crucial Premier League game against Wolverhampton Wanderers on Sunday.

Cheshire police said: "At 8.50pm on Saturday 14 May, Cheshire officers stopped a Mercedes car on the M6 southbound carriageway, between Junction 18 and 19. The driver, a 43-year-old man, provided a positive breath test. He was subsequently charged with driving while under the influence of alcohol and bailed to appear at Crewe magistrates' court next month."

Innocent until proven guilty. But how often are people proven not guilty after a positive breath test?

I've been against sacking him for continuity reasons - the last thing we need is more instability and there's no replacement lined up - but if he's convicted of this then IMHO he's got to go.

Im not saying its acceptable....but the way the drama is on here its like he's a serial rapist or something. Personally id never drink drive, but thousands/ millions of others have.

He will get whatever he deserves for his crime, end of.

IF Kean is a real man, he'll plead guilty, take the punishment on the chin and NOT try to worm his way out of it.

However, I'm almost certain that there will be 'mitigating circumstances' and a 'big name' lawyer will attempt to get him out of this hole.

Your club's manager being charged with drink driving days before the club's biggest game in years is a 'drama'.

Come on Hughesy, drink drivers aren't just a danger to themselves but to the hundreds of motorists and pedestrians they can potentially come into contact with. If true then it sends a very poor message about what kind of a club we are.

Shut the Chuff up will you?

Christ, it's like you get a hard-on every time Kean's name is mentioned in a derogatory manner and you can't wait to join in.

Was it you who filmed yourself asking him when he was goin to resign?

He's been caught drink driving, inexcusable.

But to keep goin on with yourself is plain daft. Would you expect everyone/anyone to get sacked if they were caught drink driving?

1st bit spot on - im not condoning what he did, im just saying some of the drama queens on here are abit over the top. Yes its wrong, yes its not ideal - but its hardly 'strangeway' material!

2nd bit - its the manager not the club. Diouf did the same, as have several different players.

Seriously like others have said - he does the crime, hopefully he takes the punishment - end of.

Drama? Drink driving wrecks lives, I think its fair enough for people to voice their concerns over this.

There are many people in jobs who would get sacked straight away should they get charged with drink driving.
