Seriously though, what planet are Rovers distinguished owners on?
I think old Stevie boy has gone to them and told them just how much it's going to cost them to get rid and they don't like it much. Probably decided it's only a minor part of their organisation and they'll just live with it for now because they have more important things to think about.
Anyway, onwards and upwards. I'll see if our lot can dispose of Swindon tonight then it's back to the league at weekend.
Good luck lads, you're gonna need it!!

Whatever it costs Venky's to get rid of him would be well worth it in the long run, if, like they should have, got shut of him this time last year and got a proper manager in, I've no doubt Rovers would still be in the Prem, but this guy's just full of it, he believes his own hype, he's on his own little ego trip which he knows will be the end of his involvement in football, who would give this jerk a job brewing the tea at have time never mind coaching a team

Seriously, Jay, you have my grudging sympathy. The guy really is clueless but what can you do when you have owners who are even more clueless about football than he? The blind leading the blind really does apply here.
One thing I have noticed about Kean in his post matches though is how he always takes the positives from a game. He should have taken so many positives by now Rovers should have won the champions league, let alone the prem.

Think you have the point entirely. Kean apart, the record of Venky's is there for all to see. Yes, Kean is a clueless prat but he has obviously been let down by a bunch of people who clearly don't know the first thing about football and appear, having also spoken to Rovers friends, to have bought Rovers as some sort of plaything.
My feelings about the whole thing (for what they are worth being from the other side) is that, on the field of play I'm loving it (why wouldn't I, you would be the same) but from the bigger and non-biased picture, I wouldn't wish any of what is going on at Rovers on any football fan. You are being treated shamefully by your own owners and, may I say, by the media, who should be ashamed of having a go at fans who clearly love their club and only want the best for it.
I obviously want Kean to stay (as a Burnley fan) but as a football fan I really do wish you all the best of luck in ridding yourselves of the awful regime that is attempting to pass itself off as football club owners. A few more like Venkys in the league and it would be the death of football as we know it.

Barrie that happens at any club, a new manager wants his own team, no mater where it is be it Rovers United City Chelski even Stanley, and as for nobody wanting to work for Venky's think you'll find that's way of the mark, after all Burnley manage to replace Laws, didn't they:D

It certainly does Jay. How a club can expect to suddenly change their fortunes by changing the manager - especially mid transfer windows, is cloud cuckoo land. Liverpool, for example, are doing worse with Rodgers than with KK, and they are not the only ones.

Ferguson replaced Atkinson mid transfer window with United at the bottom of the league...ended up mid table. Kinda shoots that argument out of the water.

Kean is tactically inept, he has one system, he cannot counter any changes made by an opposing manager, nor can he think on his feet. He just stands there expressionless, chewing gum, imagining he's the new Ferguson.

Cannot for the life of me understand why the media give him such an easy ride
