Watching this clown on Sky Sports News today playing the victim is a flucking joke.
Watching fellow manager's backing him today is a flucking joke.
Listening to his excuses about injuries in defence being the cause for our position is a flucking joke.
Listening to him telling sky that he basically fears for his safety and that Rovers fans are vicious is a joke.
The managers know with him in charge then 3 points against us is a given, no wonder they back him.
His points tally when he took over last season and a full strength defence was no better than this season.
Keep the excuses rolling in Kean surely even you will run out of them soon.
As for Coyle stating that he is a "Terrific Manager" (Well I am speechless)
Even the Sun paper mocked that ridiculous statement.
Steve Kean PR Machine.

The Dons, who are planning to move to a new stadium, have attracted an average attendance of 9679 this season - almost 3000 less than fourth-best attended Hibs.
This is the protest West Coast was advocating perhaps?

"This is the protest West Coast was advocating perhaps?"
Firstly - I suggest you do some fact checking Garner. Aberdeen's average attendance this season - 9,758. Hibs average attendance this season - 9,518.

But don't let facts get in your way.
Secondly - yes, I think not paying to go to a game is a much more apporopriate protest than booing your own team when they score. Football managers are just normal people; why can't you guys understand that? Did english football learn nothing from the sad story of Gary Speed?
There has been 83 comments on this thread and no-one has explained why Steve Kean has attracted such bile from Blackburn fans. He has had one year in charge; the vast majority of which have been in circumstances very few managers could deal with. I can't see any reason for this treatment.
I'm not saying he is a good manager; his record suggests he's probably not very good. But I think he has not been given any chance to shown if he is good or not.
Starrover - here is an analogy.
You followed your wife through thick and thin, up and down. Then you punch her on the face when she does something you don't like. Does that sound reasonable to you? I'm afraid your past record doesn't mean much when you try to pick on someone you see as weaker than you.
I've never seen such vitriol towrads a football person before. (That doesn't mean it's never happened; just that its rare in the UK.) No footballing reasons justify the kind of pathetic bullying Blackburn fans have carried out recently.
If there is a non-footballing reason to dislike the man, I would like someone to enlighten me. If not, you should grow up and realise its just a game. Stop being so petty and reassess your priorities.

If he does return...why should I check facts when copying a snippet from a Scottish online newspaper.
brief synopsis:- Kean appointed after shock sacking of Big Sam-Venkys under guidance of SEM/Kentaro Keans agents!...7 wins from 38 games....admitting to forfeiting league cup Q-final and then a feeble attempt to backtrack...lying to court when on drink driving charge...i'm bored now so please yourself

blueandwhite I missed your post earlier.
"what would 99.99% of clubs have done? Sacked him after 10-20 games."
Talk of sacking a manager who is 10 games into his first managerial job is completely ridiculous. That is nowhere near enough time to be able to judge his abilitites. Even if it is something other clubs would do, it is foolishness in the extreme. This is what I mean when I say he hasn't been given a chance.
"Think of the worst manager you've had at Abderdeen in the last 30 years, now imagine he was kept at the club about 6 months longer than he actually was"
I assume you dont follow Scottish football, but Aberdeen have a history of taking a long time to get rid of a manager. Under Ebbe Skovdahl we finished bottom of the league (Aberdeen have never been relegated before), and we kept him for another two seasons before he eventually quit. Mark McGhee won 17 of 62 games and it took a year and a half to sack him.
Under both these managers there was disquiet from fans, and regular booing at half time and full time. But nothing close to what's happening at Blackburn.
"Be honest, what would your fans mood have been by that point?"
You guys keep suggesting this is something other fans would do in a similar position. But you're not special; lots of clubs have poor, unpopular managers. We just refrain from bullying and abusing them.
"why should I check facts when copying a snippet from a Scottish online newspaper."
Why should you try and be accurate when presenting something as fact in a debate? Because if we all just write down the first unsubstantiated "facts" that pop into our head, the whole thing becomes a bit pointless. It would have taken five seconds to check on google.

The Scottish winners of the record Euromillions jackpot, Hamish and Angus Weir, were asked about what they intend to do regarding begging letters.
"Oh we still intend to keep sending them" replied Angus.

What easily verifiable facts have I posted on here as fact anf got wrong?
"I thought a local aberdonian paper would be up to speed....my bad"
I have little doubt the paper was correct. I assume the mistake has come from you. If you can post your source we could see.
