Steve Kean will still manage to talk his way into another few years there though!

Don't think they will ever come back up with their current owners, they didn't even realise they could get relegated a few months ago did they?

Was there anything ever proven in that story about the 'Scottish gangsters' (cringe) that Steve Kean was allegedly involved with?

It's a pity that another set of owners have run the club to the ground. How many more established sides will we see relegated due to poor ownership decisions?

Back in circulation today after a mad one down at Mansfield yesterday. Put the champagne on ice, we're going to Wembley twice...

Would you stay at a club where the fans are vile towards you ? I'd not. He deserves a medal for the vitriol he's suffered.

Another set of fans openly welcoming owners they have never heard of, and then turning against them when things inevitably go tits up.

I think Kean will be staying as long as possible.
He'll certainly be after his severance pay/remaining contract money. He's entitled to it, after all the hatred aimed his way by the "fans".
ATEOTD, Kean is a number two, that's been promoted. He's never managed at Prem level previously, what were the Venkys and fans expecting? Brazil 1970, after playing longball under Allardyce? As far as I'm concerned, Blackburn's "fans" and the Venkys deserve each other.
