Kean faces tough job - Parkes

14 December 2010 17:00
Tony Parkes believes Steve Kean has a big job trying to win over the Blackburn players following the shock dismissal of manager Sam Allardyce. Scottish coach Kean is due to take the team for the first time on Saturday against West Ham after being put in temporary charge. He could find himself in control of the dressing room during the transfer window as new owners Venky's say they are not looking for a quick fix. Parkes told talkSPORT: "It is a tricky role. When I took over you had to make sure you got the players together and everybody started with a clean slate. "If you win them over you have got every chance of getting good results early. You might then just give the owners hope of getting the manager they want. "If you lose games quickly there might be a panic job, maybe getting a new manager in within days and all of a sudden he may not be the right one that you want."
