    And how exactly are the fans responsible? For voicing their concerns that the club is being ripped apart?

    You wouldn't be World beaters but you'd be out of the relegation zone, if you got behind your team instead of hounding them.

    And what exactly is this opinion based on?

    The team were in the relegation zone long before the hounding started. Kean has a 24.4% win percentage over 45 games. Would you accept that at your club?

    Don't believe all the snippets you hear from Alex Ferguson and other managers supporting Kean. Managers have a vested interest in supporting their own, particularly Fergie when he has a game coming up against what is a very poor Blackburn team under Kean.

    Kean's position is untenable. Even the pundits on the likes of Match of the Day say they hate to see managers sacked but his position can't be supported. Blackburn should not be losing to Wolves, Bolton, West Brom and Everton at home if the club want to remain in the PL this year.

    And its behaviour like that and the disgracefull hounding of Kean that has the majority of football fans praying for Blackburns relegation, real fans get behind their team and club in times of need.

    So you'd sit back and watch your club take 11 points from 18 games quite happily would you?

    Sit back and watch them lose to teams that they have players capable of beating at home?

    Sit back and watch the club disppear into the abyss while the owners are not willing to comment on the incessant rumours about the club's 20 million overdraft being called in?

    Sit back while the club's greatest new talent, David Hoilett, refuses to sign a new contract?

    As long as Kean stays in the job, Rovers haven't a hope of staying in the PL. He was given at least 35 games before the hounding started and has given nothing in return.

    I didn't agree with Steve Bruce's sacking. He had a 29% win percentage. I didn't agree with Roy Hodgson's. He had a 41% win percentage at Liverpool. Chris Hughton had a 55% win percentage at Newcastle. Paul Ince even had a 29% win percentage at Blackburn when he was sacked. He was given only 21 games to Kean's 45 so far.

    Blackburn fans got behind Souness, got behind Hughes, they even got behind Paul Ince, and they got behind Allardyce although he wasn't always liked but how can you expect people to stand behind Kean?

    The abuse Steve Kean has got has been disgusting.

    You are entitled to think he's not the right man for the job but there are other ways to show it. It's not Kean's fault, it's the owners who employed him, and some retard fans would want to remember that.

    Abusing the man at home games is obviously going to have an adverse affect on team's performances, so that is beyond retarded. You get behind your team no matter what at games, end of story.

    The fans that are doing abusing Kean(a sizeable amount it has to be said) deserve relegation.

    Do their protesting away from the games, have them before and afterwards but hounding both players and manager during games is despicable carry on tbh, I also think you might be over estimating the quality of players available to Kean aswell, this mess started long before he's arrival and they have had some horrible luck with injury's.

    Fans at Ewood Park were attacking Kean at the Arsenal game. That was the first home game in September. Who knows if you'd been behind the manager where you'd be now.

    How was there a mess long before his arrival? Rovers finished tenth under Allardyce in the season before Kean came in. They also reached a Carling Cup semi final. The season before that they were 15th after the terrible start under Ince.

    The team had established internationals and Premier League players like Paul Robinson, Chris Samba, Gael Givet, Morten Gamst Pedersen, Brett Emerton, Michel Salgado and Ryan Nelsen. Added to this were some decent young players like Martin Olsson, Phil Jones, David Hoilett and Steven N'Zonzi.

    You seem to have very little knowledge of the situation to be honest.

    Kean has been in charge 45 games now. That Arsenal game was 13 games ago so Kean had been given 32 games by then. The team had already lost 2-1 to Wolves at home, 3-1 away to what is a poor Villa team, 1-0 at home to a poor Everton team and then scraped a 1-1 draw with Fulham.

    Kean had taken over a team in a comfortable 13th position and managed to guide them towards being relegated.

    It's not just the results. Its the incessant crap spouted by the man. Week after week being played off the pitch only for him to come out and say the team were unlucky or even at times try to say it was a great performance.

    The fans were behind him for 30 games and it got them nowhere so don't throw out bull**** lines like the above. The lad was given plenty of time.

    Don't believe everything Fergie and the LMA tell you.

    How is it not Kean's fault? He's obviously not capable of doing the job so why doesn't he stand down.

    He should take learn from this man:

    http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Ricky_Sbragia

    Extreme circumstances require extreme measures. The fans want to fight for their club. Kean was supported for 30 games and it did nothing for results

    I think a few of you lads actually need to read up on the situation because you don't seem to be aware of alot of the facts.

    The fans are at the point where the camel's back has now been broken in four or five places.
