Blackburn boss in foul-mouthed rant over former Rovers manager Sam Allardyce
Published: 39 minutes ago
STEVE KEAN will have even more to explain to Blackburn's owners in showdown talks this week after video emerged of the Rovers boss making allegations about former manager Sam Allardyce.
The timing couldn't have been worse for Kean who has flown out to the Pune base of the club's Indian owners Venky's for talks about his future.
On the agenda is Rovers' relegation to the Championship but now Kean will face even tougher questions about his behaviour.
It could land him in hot water with football's authorities too who will no doubt seek clarification about his public comments.
Late on Monday evening a video was posted on to You Tube showing Kean talking with Blackburn fans in a Hong Kong bar during the pre-season tour of the Far East.
Among his claims during the 4min 3sec clip, he says that he was the man responsible for spotting the potential of defender Phil Jones, who was sold to Manchester United for £16.5million last June.
Kean also voices an expletive-fuelled opinion on why he thinks Venky's sacked Allardyce and goes on to boast that the ultimately doomed outfit would win the Carling Cup.
The former Fulham coach replaced Allardyce as Rovers boss in December 2010 but has never won over the fans.
A petition with 5,000 signatures demanding his sacking has been sent to Anuradha Desai, chairperson of the VH Group who control subsiduary Venky's and the woman who will determine Kean's future.
Neither the club or Kean have been available for comment so far.
