Folski Posted October 2, 2012 Share Posted October 2, 2012 Dont know if anyone else has seen this but it gave me a giggle or three Steve Kean’s reign as Blackburn Rovers will be remembered for many reasons, one of which was the quotes that often drove a wedge between himself and the fans. From the wildly over-optimistic to the frankly ridiculous, ANDY CRYER looks back at his most infamous comments... “This is a new era. We have new owners, it is going to be an exciting time for the club. The owners have been disappointed and a little bit confused about the reaction from the press.” After being appointed in December 2010. “It looks like it has brought negative publicity but I don’t see why. I don’t think it has been done just for publicity. If it has fizzled out then it has, but we haven’t been chasing it just for publicity.” On the attempt to sign Ronaldinho in January 2011. “As soon as he says he wants to come back to England you have to throw your hat in the ring.” His hopes of signing David Beckham in January 2011. “We feel that Myles Anderson is a player with great potential as a late developer. He could be-come something of a Chris Smalling, who came through late in football and Myles has done the same.” Anderson is now on loan at Aldershot. “We can look forward and really kick on. We do have lift-off because this was important.” Kean after scraping survival on the last day of the 2010/11 season at Wolves. “Bruno – or Denis after Denis Irwin, the boys call him, because he never gives the ball away – will fill in that position and that is great for us.” After Kean’s words on August 8, 2011, Ribeiro did not play a game all season. “David’s always been put on a par with a young Rooney and he can certainly score all types of goals… it’s not just nice tap-ins, he can create a goal for himself, score from outside the box, chip them in, pass them in, smash them in.” Kean’s praise of David Goodwillie in August 2011 did not exactly come to fruition. “We are very close on Junior’s deal. We have agreed in principle a deal. It’s a long contract. We are confident it will be done and dusted in the next 24 hours.” Hoilett left a year later, having never signed the deal. “The most important thing is 99% of the fans didn't demonstrate.” Kean’s comments about rising discontent among Rovers support on September 17, 2011. One per cent? You are having a laugh? “I didn’t see the plane and I don’t know what it said.” After Rovers fans flew a plane over his head calling for ‘Kean out’ during a game against Chelsea in November 2011. “We won’t get relegated, absolutely no chance.” Kean’s ill-advised prediction in November 2011. “We are in a position where we have forfeited going through and having the chance to reach a cup final.” After Rovers’ Carling Cup loss to Cardiff City in November 29, 2011. “These are challenging times for the club and the owners, but I believe Venky’s are 100 per cent the right owners.” May 9 2012. “I won’t walk away.” September 2012.

Zatman Posted October 2, 2012 Share Posted October 2, 2012 no comments from his night out with the fans were he told them he discovered Phil Jones and think promised top 10 and a trophy. I felt bad for the guy same as with McLeish but he was a bigger fraud similar to Comical Ali Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Richard Posted October 3, 2012 Share Posted October 3, 2012 On the media blaming the fans, they never ask why the fans react that way, if the team was top ten and competitive, would the fans be negative ? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
BOF Posted October 3, 2012 Moderator Share Posted October 3, 2012 I wonder where Keano will turn up next Isn't he about to take over at 2nd in the Turkish league, Kasımpaşa. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
coda Posted October 3, 2012 Share Posted October 3, 2012 I hope Keane gets the job. Him and the Venky's would be hilarious. Channel 5 could screen 'Being Blackburn'. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
coda Posted October 25, 2012 Share Posted October 25, 2012 Arry is interested in the Blackburn job. I hope he gets it as I don't want him going to QPR. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Jimzk5 Posted October 25, 2012 Share Posted October 25, 2012 Arry is interested in the Blackburn job. I hope he gets it as I don't want him going to QPR. It's lining himself up for the qpr job saying his intrested in taking on blackburn, its forcing qprs hand, rumour last week was Hughes would be sacked if he lost to everton and arsenal, may still happen if they lose to arsenal in a bad way. This is henrys way of saying "I'm here Mr fernandes, but mayby I won't be available in a weeks time" Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Just heard Arry on the radio and it sounds like he's not interested in Blackburn. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

maqroll Posted October 31, 2012 Share Posted October 31, 2012 Which means Berg will get the job. When the Blackburn job is a step up, you take it. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
DeepDish Posted October 31, 2012 Share Posted October 31, 2012 Ouch. That is not a very good appointment. Berg has not been a success as a manager. Sacked from Lillestrom and had bust ups (in public) with several players. Was also a lot of trouble with him at Lyn. But he has had some good connections with agents and has gotten some talented African players to his clubs. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Jimzk5 Posted October 31, 2012 Share Posted October 31, 2012 Henning berg? Suppose his the best they could attract with them nut jobs in charge but mcarthy, billy Davies, even mcleish has a track record of getting teams promoted. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
