Steve Kean reveals he retains the support of Venky’s as Blackburn Rovers prepare for India trip
Blackburn Rovers manager Steve Kean is confident he still has backing from the club owners, Venky’s, even after the terrible start to the season which has not shown any improvement in recent fixtures. The Scotsman is scheduled to meet with the Indian owners
soon and believes they will continue supporting him as the manager of the club despite a section of supporters calling for his removal.
The Premier League side are set to travel to http://www.senore.com/Football-soccer/India-c750 on Wednesday in a promotional visit, where they will be taking on Pune FC. The Rovers were initially meant to face Pune FC in the pre-season tour, but unfortunately it was called off during instability in
the Asian country. With things having improved and the Rovers having some free time on their hand because of the international break, the match will be held this week.
Kean’s side have only managed to secure four points from seven games in the new campaign and are currently in the bottom three of the Premier League table. As things stand, Blackburn Rovers are favourites to face the drop at the end of the season. However,
Kean was certain his side would improve and would avoid relegation once again, just as they had at the end of last season.
Kean said while speaking to reporters:
“They are strong people. They are very much in this for the long run and they have backed me to the hilt.
We'll get through it and we'll do what we did last year when we ended the season brilliantly to stay in the Premier League when we were everyone's favourites to go down.”
Despite the protestors, Kean revealed he retained the support of the owners, who had apparently given him countless reassurances regarding his http://www.senore.com/Football-soccer/Job-c18684. He said the team, management and owners were still united and were looking to work towards better results
in the future. Blackburn http://www.senore.com/Football-soccer/Rovers-c40385 lost their last Premier League fixture 4-0 to Manchester City at Ewood Park.
He continued:
“Our owners are very strong. I spoke with the owner first thing Saturday morning and she said that there were going to be people protesting and not to let it bother me and I won't.
What we will do as a team, as staff and as owners, is stick together and we will turn it around together. I am very confident about that.”
