Are you gloating to your fellow fans about our team winning?

Yet again, a positive result and he comes crawling out of his hole...

Yes, Kean out - it has taken him 13 months to record back to back wins and his record remains awful, I am incredibly happy with the last 2 results but we have been capable of this all season.

Kean will be treated like a footballing god in blackburn by the end of the season.

Manager of the Year

Fans will be offering him their wives/ girlfriends come May as tribute..although I hear the quality is poor in the North-West

Wow - you see the reason I worry about your education is that you have no concept of intelligent or reasonable debate!

The only reason to say no is that he's at least showing signs of improvement...

You can't gloat about being slightly less wrong because let's face it he should have never had the job in the first place and once appointed proceeded to turn your club into relegation candidates! (Of course, it would be wrong of me not to credit Venkys partly for this).

A couple of wins after a huge spell of poor results does not a manager make. If he was the manager at the start of last season, you'd have spent this one in the championship.

So, stand behind him if you will (it's best for your club) but for gods sake don't forget the facts.

The Chelsea Way

Lets not get ahead of ourself- Bolton and Utd coming up so we could quite easily be in touching distance again for a few clubs below us if we lose.

Most of us appreciate the Venky's desire not to put money in the club is the real problem (along with a willingness to sell our better players). However Kean did not help his cause with some ludicrous after match comments which made me wonder if I had seen the same game.

For now it is looking good- Beat Bolton and I will be very confident we will stay up. If we do, as somebody else said on another post, at least he will have earnt the right to manage the club next season.

Who knows- he might be a good manager.

Wow out!

Chelsea Way - thanks - thats a good assessment. If he is improving and performing then of course he should stay. when he wasn't looking like he was learning whats the point.

However he hasn't exactly got a track record of success and beating two Premiership teams whilst keeping two clean sheets, whilst laudable, does not mean he is the next coming of Furbie.

Wow: 28 points from 29 games.

I'd be perfectly willing to celebrate how much we seem to have improved under him since christmas. But the way you always come on making your sarcastic comments as if you've been proved utterly right and we're all idiots makes me wanna point out his flaws instead.

I Don't understand how we are equating success with avoiding relegation.

Under Walkers, Sam and JW We were comfortably mid table and arguably looking to Europa league. People have short memories. Well done to the Squad, and arguably Kean too if we survive, it will be no thanks to our owners. But yes absolutely still don't think Kean is the man for the job, but don't think anyone else would be better or would take the job with what seems to be the business model we are stuck with

^Absolutely, if you avoid the drop then that's exactly what you've done - should never have been in the dogfight in the first place.

posted on 21/3/12

Agreed, but if you think of the players we've lost and a relative lack of investment (take note wow or are Venkys also marvellous?) then mid table comfort was unlikely.

Having said that, the benchmark just being survival is both worrying and shortsighted. If we improve and get 42-45 points then we've done ok. Survival on 35 just means that there's some terrible teams out there!

that my point pie, Statistics are looking Much better bordering on that "point per game" that would usually see a team safe, but really its hardly aspirational is it. the thought of us being 6 points clear with such a poor return (a point a game is still a woeful stat) just show How bad others are and we owe our position to the poor performance of others not our own brilliance
