Blackburn Rovers fans want “Kean Out” after 4-0 loss to Manchester City but Steve Kean wants to stay on
Blackburn Rovers boss Steve Kean insisted he was not planning to quit as manager of the English Premier League club, despite increased calls for his removal. The initial section of fans that were calling for his removal seems to have increased after the
Rovers lost 4-0 to Manchester City at Ewood Park.
Supporters could be seen holding up banners which read “Kean Out” as they witnessed http://www.senore.com/Football-soccer/Stefan-Savic-c34022 score for the Citizens. While Manchester City have returned to winning ways after their loss to Bayern Munich
in the group stages of the UEFA Champions League, Blackburn Rovers have been unable to build on their win over Arsenal a few weeks ago.
Despite the increasing number of protestors and the fact that his side is already in the relegation zone so early on in the season, Kean revealed he was not going to leave his post. In fact, he said he was pleased the supporters had chosen him instead of
the team to vent out their frustrations over the poor form in recent games.
Kean said in an interview:
“I told the lads I will battle on for my players. Even the ones I didn't bring to the club I consider my players. I'll take the criticism on my shoulders and take it away from them.”
While offering to take most of the blame, Kean did mention that he felt it was unfair for the fans to express their frustrations with the new campaign having just started. Apart from that, the http://www.senore.com/Football-soccer/Rovers-c40385 boss felt the supporters had been too quick to forget
the thrilling 4-3 win over the Gunners.
He revealed:
“A couple of weeks ago we played Arsenal and got a fantastic result and most of the fans went home very, very happy. We've lost today and the fans are not happy, nor are the players, nor am I.
But I think we have to put it in perspective. For the first 55 minutes the shape of our team was good and we minimised the chances of Manchester City, and it has taken a very good goal.
According to Kean, his side had shown improvement since the start of the season, something that was displayed in the victory over http://www.senore.com/Football-soccer/Arsenal-c38429. The fact that the Rovers managed to delay a top side like Manchester City from scoring early on in the game also proved
that Kean’s side was improving as the season progressed.
