Blackburn's strongish claims for a second-half penalty when Emmerson Boyce appeared to trip Junior Hoilett got a mention at Kean's press conference yet made no impression on Wigan. But for Pedersen getting away with an outrageous corner kick scam to earn a draw at the DW in November, Blackburn might not have lasted this long.
What comes around and so on. Blackburn's fate appears to have been coming around for some time. The battle has been lost, seemingly along with East Lancashire's stomach for an argument. This article is more than 9 years old. Paul Wilson at Ewood Park. Steve Kean, right, watches as a Blackburn Rovers supporter comes on to the Ewood Park pitch to throw his season ticket towards the manager. Kean is not the only target, as the removal of the club's owners and the board of directors is the stated aim of the demonstrations.
It would appear they are not a particularly well-run club, nor is their communication with their supporters what it should be. There also seems to be misgivings about the honesty with which the owners spoke originally about the funds they have available to improve the squad. But recent results suggest Kean has the backing of his players which would no doubt infuriate some of their support. As convenient as it is for protestors to single out the manager when things are going so badly wrong even more so when the owners say so little , Kean may not be the problem they believe him to be.
Players will return from injury and there are plans to make some signings this month. There is obviously the possibility that some will leave the club, but that money may be given to Kean to re-invest.
The league table does not look particularly encouraging at the moment but it is a long time since Kean has had all his best players available. That's a very optimistic snapshot of the situation I know, but the behaviour of the Blackburn fans is doing nothing to make life easier for their players.
I would think that alone should make them consider alternative forms of action but, unfortunately for Kean and his players, it hasn't. There's never a better time to play at a particular ground than when the crowd have turned on the home team.
The job is made easier because the conditions are more favourable. It doesn't make any sense, completely backwards logic. Coming out of this the ones who look the most like utter turkeys have to be the owners. Steve Kean is not a good manager, that much seems clear, but why get rid now? He's unpopular and he gets them relegated, but they stick with him.
Then he has a good start to the season and he's out. Was it the attendance figures that did it, really, you expect a drop off with relegation.
I suspect fowl play. Blackburn have been relegated, turned into a joke, lost their manager without having a new one lined up, and seen their fans divided by bitterness and hate. Oh, and the Venky's are still in charge, still absent, still useless Many more victories like that and the fans will suffer total defeat. Comment posted by Rob, at 28 Sep Rob. The Blackburn board and fans have both screwed Kean. He's better off without them. Steve Kean, what a guy.
To take so much stick from your own fans for so long and not leave or have a breakdown is just incredible. English game at a low. Silly wages, silly owners, silly football and silly decisions. I wish the olympics was twice a week and football once every 4 years Comment posted by Ste, at 29 Sep Ste. I have been a Rovers fan for over 40 years. He went into a position of a premier league manager having never held the position before in his career.
Huddersfield wasted a chance to boost their promotion bid as Watford snatched a dramatic victory. Oliver Norwood's free-kick handed the hosts the advantage, but Simon Grayson's men were stunned by a second-half Watford fightback. Fernando Forestieri netted his first goal for the club, Fitz Hall put the Hornets ahead and although substitute Alan Lee levelled, Troy Deeney, making only his second appearance since being released from prison, kept his cool to win it from the spot.
Matthew Connolly scored twice to help Cardiff maintain their percent home record in the league with a victory over Blackpool. Connolly opened the scoring from close range in the 17th minute and sealed matters by heading home a Craig Bellamy corner after Peter Whittingham's free-kick.
Emile Sinclair scored a hat-trick as Peterborough beat Hull at the KC Stadium to claim their first win of the season after seven straight defeats.
