Kean wants Rovers job

17 December 2010 11:00
Temporary Blackburn boss Steve Kean emerged from the shock of a turbulent week at Ewood Park to declare his interest in replacing Sam Allardyce. A succession of leading football figures have spoken out against Allardyce's shock dismissal on Monday, with the approach of new owners Venky's being heavily criticised amid rumours of interest in appointing Diego Maradona and confirmation of a fifth place finish as an unlikely target for Rovers this term. Kean must somehow steady the ship and put a team on the pitch that can secure victory against West Ham. And that would be the perfect way for Kean to launch his own bid for the manager's chair. "I would be delighted to have the job," said the Scot. "If I do a good job, perhaps I will come into consideration."
