Yes. He can do wonders with half a decent team under him. The guy can bring the best out of his players when under pressure.

Just like Mats Hummels wanted to move to Bayern, right?
Hope he gets the chance.

Might be alright for Liverpool then
Relegation can be a blessing in disguise.
It can also lead to years of decline and stagnation, and be swiftly followed up by further relegations.
Unfortunately I think Blackburn are far more in danger of the latter than they are the former. They're a club in crisis, managed by a non-manager with their being no guarantee's he will even leave or lose his job and under the ownership of a group which has no understanding of the sport whatsoever.
The Championship is not a division to be taken lightly. If those in charge at Blackburn don't understand it, respect it, plan for it or deal with it properly they will go down again within four years.

I wonder what he could do with a club like Liverpool?
There is absolutely no proof that this is 100% true.
Let's find out.
Yeah I'd like to see it.
What is that supposed to mean, and how does it negate anything I've said? Resorting to Rovers fans' tactics are we?
Why now and not at the end of the season? Also, Cisse's second against Chelsea > everything else.
RDM 's Chelsea vs Martinez' Liverpool.
lol! That whole scene was genious, brings back memories. http://www.youtube.com/watch?NR=1&feature=fvwp&v=KAWoP1kncRE
No proof it isn't. I'm not as much in the know as Rovers fans are, and neither are you, so I'm going on what I've heard.

I think you claiming that the Rovers opinions are biased when you support the team Kean played for (did he? or was he part of the youth team), and probably supports, is just a bit odd. None of us know the facts, and I said rumours. If they're true, the Rovers fans are justified in their actions somewhat.
Yup. Rovers fans didn't really do the club any favours, but that's only from my perspective.
Why didn't they spend any money? I know it would've been Kean spending it but seriously..
yeah it is the sound of the zombies in hl2

He's just afraid of being benched
but just like Nuri Sahin, Lucas Barrios, Shinji Kagawa and more to come. I would be happy if those guys would stick around and be with Dortmund for years to come, but you know how players are... they just want money and EPL.Pictures of guys going for headers are hilarious. Enjoying this old one of Yaya and Celtic's Scott Brown. What a terribly ugly individual. Puyol almost looks photoshopped in, hah.
(Saw this in a related article on The Guardian's site regarding Yaya being linked to City and Arsenal)

I guess it's mostly to do with the fact that they bought the club with the sole intention of selling its assets and booking profits and hopefully selling it at a profit as well.
This was pure business for them n no emotional attachment to the club.
Also the rumour is that they aren't swimming in money as many believe.
I honestly don't think they have the money to spend. Remember all the transfer targets they had, and the fact top 4 was their aim.
They never backed up that talk with the money to match the ambition.
Martinez coming to us makes far too much sense to happen. More likely out current management team will be given another year to piss away money.
Also, someone on twitter has suggester we try Downing at LB to replace Aurelio. Quite how the fuck we haven't thought of that all this season is beyond me.

You have Enrique. Why the hell would you put Downing there?
We both know that's not how it works. How do you feel about people who make comments about sr'Alex secretly being an alcoholic or anything along those lines. It's not a nice thing to see when there's zero evidence, is it?
Yeah, I have been more outspoken about it because I'm a Celtic fan and Kean is too (though he never played for us - maybe in the youth setup like you said). But mainly because the treatment Kean is receiving is ridiculous.
Owen Coyle is exactly the same, for example. Celtic fan, Celtic player. Relegation zone. But look at the reaction at Bolton compared to Rovers, and that says it all really.
Have you SEEN Enrique recently?
Besides, even on form, Enrique has been poor offensively. Downing/Johnson would compliment perfectly as attacking fullbacks, just as Kelly/Enrique are a complimentary defensive pairing.
Haha yes the Pogues!
Clattenburg didn't help but the goal they let in was a dreadful mess. They can't defend, just like Blackpool last season. What they were thinking letting both Samba and Nelsen go in January...

He said Kean was the best manager he's had. Wasn't he at Newcastle when Bobby Robson was there?
I don't think they will. Didn't Henry extend his trip? Something's going down.
I shrug it off. Things like that, it's just banter because he has a red nose.
Well there you go then. You're completely justified in feeling like that, but I think the Rovers fans are justified in thinking Kean's played a massive part in the downfall of their club.
Ask yourself why that is. It can't purely be because Blackburn fans are much more demanding. There has to be underlying reasons.

There's a little bit more there than just admitting he was driving under the influence.
I bet that wasn't Kean's decision. Similar to the whole thing about Salgado and Roberts. That cost Blackburn dear.
Guys sorry for the interference, could you post that 1 2 3 Messi.gif?
Obrigado!
I know what you're trying to do, and I approve
It's not squarely on Kean, but he and Venkys must be at least 90% of the blame together. Think about Bruce in charge of Sunderland, and the change when MON came. I think your revitalisation can almost completely be placed on MON's shoulders.
Guys guys guys
If we beat Sunderland and QPR don't lose to City MANCHESTER UNITED WILL WIN THE TITLE!!!!!!!!!!!!!
COME ON QPR!
