@SkyNewsBreak: Sky Sources confirm Sam Allardyce is taking legal action against Steve Kean

ridiculous- if people heard half the **** I talk about people in private conversations I would probably be in prison! Surely in a private situation such as that it is all about personal opinion?

it isn't disgusting at all, just like it wasn't disgusting to try and get Brown out of our club. He deserves to be kicked out as the guy is useless at his job and has took them down.

He is still a person and a human being young ram. The kind of vitriol he has put up with this year is not needed.

If it was a "real" job do you think he'd have to put up with the same stick? If this was a coporate world and someone had secretly filmed him without him knowing - they would be done for entrapment. ( I dont know UK laws anymore - but I can't imagine it's any different?)

Your post comparing him to Judas- in fact labelling him worse than Judas is a sad incdication of the ridiculous reactions that are coming out from people.

I hate the way football is going, from the over inflated salaries and the idiotic actions of players, managers and chairmen to the know it all fans who try to force decisions that they shouldnt be allowed to force.

I saw yesterday that the fans are being met by the government and the premier league to explain their viewpoint...what next? Will Blackburn fans get the right to proxy vote their new manager?

Case law suggests the following factors, among others, would weigh in favour of the undercover footage being broadcast, that is article 10 ­considerations would outweigh those of article 8:

  • If the footage disclosed serious issues of public interest not otherwise in the public domain, for example, through regulatory reports; and
  • If those filmed consented to the broadcast.

I cannot see it being a serious issue to public interest, and I doubt Kean approved of the braodcast. So whilst it exists, I doubt it would stand up in a court, after all he was expressing an opinion to a small group in private.

If you read mypost you would understand Judas wasn't that bad a guy. The fans have a right to express their view, they haven't forced anything but I know how we reacted as fans when we thought we had awful owners and an awful manager. We protested because we loved our club and we weren't prepared to see it go down the toilet. Have you seen some of the vitirol aimed at company executives over the past 4 years or politicians or even public sector workers?

Yes he is a human being and as such he has the capacity to deal with what is happening with the protests. He gained a job dubiously, who has took the club down the drain and has an inflated ego undeserving of his position. He deserves the vitirol he is getting, if he looked outside his own pay packet he would realise he should leave the club. Entrapment? how do you know that? oh wait you don't, you're making an assumption. Filiming someone without their permision isn't entrapment, you need other things for that. The fans keep the club alive, and if someone took derby county down in that situation and they weren't sacked I would like 99% of derby fans be furious and most probably protest against his incompetance.

Reports saying he has been sacked.... Sort of

'Unsackable' Kean loses his job but stays at Blackburn after Venky's showdown talks

Steve Kean, the man said to be unsackable when appointed Blackburn's manager in January 2011, looks to have paid for Rovers' relegation from the Premier League, according to sources in Pune and at Ewood Park.

The club's Indian owners, the chicken conglomerate Venky's, have finally decided to remove him as manager, although he will stay at the club in a different role and on the same salary he was paid as he oversaw Blackburn's drop to the Championship.

The decision to get rid of Kean as manager will be greeted with mixed emotions by many supporters, who feel the Scot symbolises the problems of their club.

Protest: Blackburn fans have called for Steve Kean to go

Some will be happy he is no longer at the helm, others troubled that he seems certain to remain at the club and apparently with some influence.

It is understood that one of Kean's key allies at the club, press officer Paul Agnew, is to be promoted on to the board of directors with the new title director of communications.

Kean recommended promotion for Agnew during showdown talks in Pune last week with the club's co-owners, Anuradha Desai and her brothers, Balaji and Venky.

Unsackable: But Steve Kean might have a new job

If they took Kean's guidance on giving Agnew a bigger role - despite not being widely popular within the club - then it is highly unlikely that Kean will be ousted from Ewood.

Both Venky and Balaji Rao have been telling friends and associates in the past 48 hours that Kean will not continue as Rovers' manager.

Venky confided this to Australian cricketer Brett Lee - whom Venky's sponsor - over lunch on Thursday.

The dysfunctional nature of Blackburn under Venky's is such that there is no firm consensus yet about the future manager.

Alan Curbishley has been discussed internally as a possible candidate, as has Blackpool's Ian Holloway.

But these discussions are being had by disparate groups with different levels of influence in Blackburn and in India.

The only person at Venky's whose decision matters is Mrs Desai, who described Kean as 'unsackable' upon his appointment and has stood by him ever since.

Kean flew to India on Tuesday for two three-hour sessions of talks about the future.

He flew back to England on Friday knowing that he had not been sacked, although a change of role was on the cards.

Blackburn Rovers' global advisor Shebby Singh has said sorry to Steve Kean and Morten Gamst Pedersen for comments he made at a fans' forum.

Singh stated on Saturday that manager Kean [url=http://www1.skysports.com/football/news/11688/7982685/Singh-issues-Kean-threat]would be sacked if Blackburn lost three games in a row at the start of the season.

He has now had time to reflect on the way his remarks came across and issued a public statement to express his regret.

"I would like to send an apology to Steve Kean because some things were said on Saturday," said Singh.

"I think they would have hurt Steve Kean's feelings and for that I sincerely apologise.

"Some things are said in jest that don't come across like that when repeated but I am not making excuses.

"I apologise for hurting any feelings."

Blunt honesty

"I am making efforts to bring the club back to the fans and in trying to do that I have gone too far. "

Singh had also criticised Pedersen, saying the Norwegian had [url=http://www1.skysports.com/football/news/11688/7983551/Pedersen-slammed-by-Singh]'lost his legs' and had not been able to reinvent himself as a central midfield player.

He is sorry to have caused offence and says he was so outspoken because he was trying to relate more to the supporters.

"I would also like to apologise to [url=http://topics.skysports.com/Morten+Gamst+Pedersen/?section=football]Morten Gamst Pedersenhttp://static.lingospot.com/spot/image/spacer for what was said. There are no excuses and Morten is a great character," said Singh.

"My blunt honesty also sometimes upsets people and sometimes rubs people up the wrong way.

"I am making efforts to bring the club back to the fans and in trying to do that I have gone too far.

"I am trying to find the middle ground."

Kean may not have done a very good job since taking over as manager but I still don't think he deserves the majority of the stick he has taken. If they think he's been poor just sack him or pay him off. Dont humiliate the guy publicly, especially when the public are already ready to throw him under a bus.

Really terrible behaviour from Singh and if he is not hammered by the Venkys for this then it will make it very difficult for him and Kean to have a fair working relationship. The trust must be gone already.

He's bought himself a fair few players and I'd say the mood at Rovers must have been improving, then this guy comes out with what he's said and the whole club is back in a worse hole than before. Bizarre timing and another idiotic comment from a football "director". Global Advisor? what the eff is that exactly?

BLACKBURN Rovers manager Steve Kean was on the brink of the sack this evening.

The Lancashire Telegraph understands club owners Venky’s have been in talks about Kean’s future over the weekend after growing concerns about the team’s performances this season.

Friday night’s dismal 2-1 home defeat to Middlesbrough knocked Rovers off the top spot in the Championship, with Venky’s seriously considering relieving Kean of his managerial duties.

Co-owners Venkatesh and Balaji Rao are understood to have long wanted a new manager but it is now believed club matriarch Anuradha Desai is ready to give them the green light to execute the change.

Kean was expected to hold talks with Desai in an attempt to persuade her he is still the right man to take the club forward and back into the Premier League, but was not expected to be given a reprieve.

The Scot has been written off several times during his managerial tenure and Rovers fans will know nothing is certain until his dismissal is officially confirmed.

If Kean was dismissed, his assistant Eric Black is expected to be offered the caretaker manager role, and given an opportunity to prove himself.

Global advisor Shebby Singh was spotted at White Hart Lane yesterday, for Tottenham’s Premier League visit of QPR, with Rovers’ 1995 Premier League winning skipper Tim Sherwood also believed to be in Venky’s minds for a potential future coaching role.

The owners and Rovers officials were remaining tight lipped today as talks continued about Kean’s future.

This is not the first time Kean has been facing the sack, with him having survived numerous crisis moments during his disastrous 21-month regime.

He was given a stay of execution during summer talks in India, despite heavy pressure being put on chief decision maker Desai from large sections of the club’s hierarchy.

He has also survived an almost constant barrage of abuse from angry Rovers fans, who have watched him oversee the club’s drop into the Premier League.

Venky’s are understood to be alarmed by dwindling attendances at Ewood Park this season and fear this won’t improve with Kean as manager.

They have also taken a close interest in the team’s start to the season and have been far from impressed by performances, despite picking up results.

Kean was surprisingly appointed Rovers boss in December 2010 after Sam Allardyce was inexplicably sacked by Venky’s with Rovers sitting in mid table safety.

Rovers survived relegation on the final day of the season, following a poor run of results, but their downfall was sealed 12 months later as Venky’s kept faith with Kean.

Large sections of Rovers supporters have protested against Kean for more than a year, with many insisting they won’t return to Ewood until he departs.
