Only Kean could reference games he lost when trying to prove his match winning credentials.

[Andy]

Not only a loss (vs Liverpool), but a loss against a completely off-form reserve side, who had 10 men for most of the game.

Nice try though Kean.

What's his win percentage now?

What's his win percentage now?

A very respectable 26.56%

On 8 April 2012, Kean managed his 60th game in charge at Blackburn Rovers, a 3-0 away loss to West Brom leaving Rovers in the relegation zone with only 6 games of the season remaining.[12] This was his 30th defeat as manager of Blackburn Rovers in 60 games. When compared to former Rovers manager Sam Allardyce's statistics whilst manager of the club, it would reveal at this point that Steve Kean has only lost 4 games less as manager during his reign, with 30 games to spare.[13] In fact statistically, as of November 2011, Steve Kean is Blackburn Rovers' second worst manager since 1992, with only Paul Ince scoring a lower win percentage.[14]

I wonder who wrote this piece of spin?

[John]

26% is higher than I thought.

[Amo]

26% is higher than I thought.

That's his overall record. Not sure league-wise.

What's his win percentage now?

"Well I'd rather not look at it like that, percentages don't paint the entire picture, but if you were to take the Wolves, Sunderland, Norwich and Manchester United away game, it's 100%, in fact I'd argue that with a bit more luck, dew and what have you, it should probably be nearer to 110%, which is a massive positive, and probably a truer reflection of the season as a whole, where in parts we've been magnificent. Hopefully we can take the first 23 seconds against Spurs and remember that against Wigan, it's just a question of consistency from here on in. If we can get on a little run between now and the end of the season I'm confident we can make the top 10."

Kean's PL record :

Total P57 W13 D14 L29 F71 A107 P53. WIN % 22.8%.

[rovers1993]

that seems more like our keno. 22.8% and bragging about LOSING to a 10 men reserve liverpool side to prove his winning credentials. only he can do that.

Last home match this season and the owners are not coming.

WHAT OWNERS??? It feels like the trust just left us, "dont worry you wont be able to afford big sam on your own but we have put the Brockhall ball boy in charge he is a hard worker, you wont be able to afford the top earners either so they will have to go....GOOD LUCK"

i see the soccer saturday pundits are changing the tune somewhat, kean not flavour of the month with them anymore, they had an interview with martinez after and he said

'you can never be too positive'

kean always says 'im very positive'

whats the morale of the story?

if your too positive, you will be relegated.

I've a feeling you have totally misunderstood Martinez.

Venkean says this is biggest game in years!

ABSOLUTLY DISGUSTING IF THEY ARE NOT HERE!!

[Raymond Rover]

They know what is coming and refuse to accept any responsibility for what has happened and are letting Kean the puppet take all the stick instead. Absolute disgrace indeed.

For which they are paying him handsomely. He is too arrogant, deluded, deceitful etc. to do the honest thing and resign.

Indeed. Not like they've been over regularly is it though?

[magicalmortensleftpeg]

Knowing the abuse they'd receive, I wouldn't go if I were them...

[roverandout]

in case they are reading these boards

(stevekeanbullshitomiter on)

'yes you must come, we all love you here, you will get a standing ovation, we wont say anything hurtful honest and we LOVE steve kean, dont listen to that nasty media'

(stevekeanbullshitomiter off)

[rhodie]

Well at least we know the players will be giving their all,they`ll need to put on a good show if they want to get a premier league team to take them on next season.

[hesfromburn]

Wonder is Myles Anderson will get his first start?? Anyone remember that overhead kick he scored?? which followed his infamous tackle?? I say the lads pulling up tree's im gonna be chanting for him not rochina on monday!!!

Saw him in the reserves earlier in the week and was taken off after about 65 minutes.

Isn't he about 22 years of age now ? Well he should be much further on, never really tested by Newcastle and looked very, very average. IMO, with any other manager but Kean, wouldn't get a sniff of 1st team.
