The rumour mill with another large story, although this may have a slight element of truth in it, LET journo Andy Cryer tweeted yesterday that the Pavone move was set to collapse:
Steve Kean has been removed as Blackburn Manager with immediate effect, He has been put on Gardening leave after i major explosive argument the club owners had with Kentaro
Kentaro are Keans agents however they have got frustrated with Kean after he continued to promote his friend Barry Mackintosh as the preferred agent Rovers should use. He was the instrumental in the capture of Formica and had also pushed another one of his clients to the front in Pavone, The player was expected to complete formalities this week, but in a surprise twist Huber of Kentaro recommend to the new owners that Kean was out of his depth and the board hadn't used a resource on offer to them by signing Kentaro clients.
However Mrs D reacted angrily to this recommendation and has not only severed ties with Kentaro but they have decided Kean must go too as they have been lead up the garden path. His bullet proof role suddenly changed when an unnamed premier league player rovers wanted told Venkys through his agent that he we would rather retire than sign for a team managed by Kean, Kentaros outburst was the bullet they needed to pull the trigger
John Jensen's rolling contract will not be renewed at the end of the month in a further twist and Rovers have already highlighted Kean's replacement.
Mrs D hopes to have Mark Hughes in place before next Monday so he can lead the club in Asia in the upcoming Asia cup. Hughes is keen to return and has been promised full control of transfers with no interference from Agent agencies, The group WILL make transfer funds available to make this window a success and have now changed their stance of their original statement a couple of weeks ago that they hope to complete things within 2 weeks , its is now hoped Hughes can identify his targets and they can get them concluded before September the First
The knock on effect is Pavone has had his hotel room removed from him and has been sent packing.
Kean going?

I purchased a season ticket the other week. If Mr Kean is not going to be at the helm I want my money back. I can play football and love the Rovers. I will play for free and pay my own bus fare as long as I can have a free kit.

Wine hey. Are you a red or a white type eprson? My supply is running low so I will just have to settle for the bootle of spitfire in the back of my fridge to finish me off. It hasnt rained and the jobs are on hold. Have chilled out on the lizzy front now and settled for some of the late great Gary Moore and his bluesy stuff. What a dude he was.
