The Blackburn fans were apparently protesting outside the training ground again today, still cant believe he is in a job! the guy is bullet proof!

[Daniel 7]

They can't afford to sack him.

[Chris]

Was Hodgsonesque on SSN "I'll trust the managers who are telling me I'm doing a fantastic job over fan opinion" or something like that.

He might want to have a look at the league table.

I was talking to an Indian friend of mine today and we got on to football, one of my other mates there was a Blackburn fan so was having a rant about Kean. My mate thinks that Venky's won't bow to fan pressure and sack Kean because it makes them look weak, which is a very bad thing in Indian culture.

I work with someone who knows the entire Venky family personally and hangs around with them a lot. Met their marketing guy the other day too. Apparently if he'd lost the Swansea game he would have got the boot. The protests and local voices for his removal are getting stronger. He shouldn't last past the next two games

[RichC]

I want him to at least make the Boxing day fixture!

[ChesterDave]

He'll make the Boxing Day fiture but he has no need for the 2012 diary the nephew bought him for Christmas.

[Slinky Skills]

It know it sounds a bit daft but they're not a bad attacking team, just woeful in defence.

He has had some shocking verbal abuse that not even the Hodge received when he was with us.

Think he's best off taking a break from the game, managing a lower league team where the expectations aren't so high and then try working his way forward from there.

Feel sorry for the poor guy.

How can you feel sorry for the ''poor guy''? he took the job when he could of easy of turned it down and stayed as a staff member at Blackburn Rovers, but he wanted the job, if he had done good then he would of taken the praise, and cause he's doing ****e, he deserves the critisism.

I don't think you can blame the guy for being ambitious and wanting to move into management. Obviously it hasn't worked out as he'd have hoped. And as you say part of being a manager is taking the critisism when things go badly as well as the praise when things go well.

I feel sorry for Blackburn fans as they are in a similar position to us last year, bad owners and the wrong choice of manager, it's a horrible situation. That said I still hope be beat them today obviously

[Shaggy]

So happy he's still in situ for today

[Imy]

So happy he's still in situ for today

[little dave hedgehog]
