Kean to stay.

They have appointed Shebby Singh as Director of Football. He was formally a second rate football pundit on Asian TV.

Steve has been in this sort of situation before in the Championship when he was at Fulham and he got them promoted

Kean was in fact the director of the academy when Fulham were promoted.


The gift that keeps on giving.

Second rate are the key words. Couldn't stand listening to this Spurs supporter.

A shambles and the six fingered natives are restless.

Interesting that their new global advisor (wtf?) Sheeby Singh was slating Steve Kean in an article he wrote for a Singapore news paper.

Interesting times ahead still at Ewok.

Steve Kean to remain Blackburn Rovers manager - Shebby Singh
Steve Kean will begin the new Championship season as manager of Blackburn Rovers, according to the club's new global advisor Shebby Singh.

He told BBC Radio Lancashire: "At the moment, Steve Kean is in charge and I fully expect him to start the season."

Rovers' 11-year stay in the top flight came to an end with relegation in May.

Kean and owners Venky's have been under increasing pressure from Blackburn supporters since he replaced Sam Allardyce as boss in December 2010.

It appears the 44-year-old, who flew to India for several days of talks with Venky's at the end of the season, will be given the chance to try and lead Blackburn back to the Premier League at the first attempt.

Singh, a former Malaysia international during his playing career, has been working as a football pundit in Asia in recent years but was appointed by Blackburn earlier this week.

His support for Kean contradicts the views he expressed in a column for the New Paper in Singapore last month, when he called for the Scot to be sacked.

"Looking from a football pundit's point of view, Steve Kean is obviously not the man to lead Blackburn Rovers back to the Premiership," he wrote.

“My view as a pundit was to look at it from a critical point of view”

"There were too many areas that weren't looked into this season and we can talk about this for a long, long time.

"Firstly, they were tactically naive with a lightweight team that were too easily brushed aside at times. Then, there were a number of players who were past their prime.

"There were also players, such as Grant Hanley, a centre-back, who were played out of position, while there were a number of unhappy players at the club, such as Chris Samba.

"But there's no use wallowing in self-pity and the club need to move on quickly."

When asked about those comments, Singh said: "My view as a football pundit was to look at it from a critical point of view. Now, as the [club's] global advisor, what I need to do is to be constructive with my views.

"There are areas I think I was right and we can work on those areas.

"I have an opinion about Blackburn Rovers as a football pundit. I have an opinion and a responsibility, as the global advisor, to put my money where my mouth is and try to help the club."

The dingle show keeps on giving, I wonder how deserted the place will be next season, it'll be like the years before Uncle Jack bought them a shit-load of fair-weather supporters.

How can any Bolton fan feel sorry for those c*nts?!

Here's hoping they sink down the pyramid and join Rochdale in the lower leagues.

No, it's just 150. Tell your mate that - let me know if he believes that and posts it on the internet, won't you?!

[bwfcdan94]

are you serious bruce, show me a link where you got that info from, then i believe you

[clapton is god]

I believe the next issue of the Oxford English Dictionary doesn't feature the word 'gullible'.

[seanworth]

I heard the same thing from a couple cabbies this past week so I think there is a lot of creditability to Bruce's story.

[bwfcdan94]

there has been a 85% drop on this stage last season in bburn season tickets. just think they coulkd take more fans to away matches then home matches
