Kean & Carew
Today we received the good news that Steve Kean has signed for 2 1/2 years. This means we now know who will be our permanent manager for the next few years. This will make it easier for us to sign new players, because there are very few players who will go to a club without a manager because when there is a new manager in, it is not certain that he wants the players that are there. Kean is a man who knows his football and I think this will bring us a step further, and now that all the pieces finally are in place, we can concentrate 100% on football.
My good friend John Carew has signed for Stoke which I think is a good solution for him, or I know it’s a good solution for him because now he comes to a club where the manager will believe in him, something that was not the case in Villa. This was perfect timing for both him and Norway for now he has the opportunity to play regularly, which no doubt will help Norway enormously in our incredibly important game against Denmark in the end of March.

I am flad for John Carew. I hope it will give him more confidence!!! Good luck!!!
yep yep yep! That’s a good news, from a good player, for a good commentator, lol
This will bring added stability to the club. Kean has shown that he’s eager for the position, including flying over to India twice to secure a future for the club under his leadership.
It’s good to see that lads are responding well to his style of play, Morten. It’s certainly a joy to watch the pass and move football as of late and we look a threat in open play. The Liverpool match still remains an absolute thrilling memory.
Good luck to John Carew at Stoke and congratulate Ryan for us on his contract extension. Another class act committing his future to the club!
The future looks bright.
I am worried by the signing of Kean for the next few years. It reminds me of when we had Don Mackay as the manager. Because he was not a big name manager, we could not attract big name players. He tried to sign Gary Lineker and Teddy Sheringham but they would not come even though we had the money for them. It took the master stroke of appointing Kenny Dalglish to attract players like Shearer and Sutton and the rest is history. I really do not think that star players will be attracted to Kean, that makes it even more difficult when Blackburn is such an “Unfashionable club.” Not knocking the club, born and bred in Blackburn, follow them everyday, now living in Los Angeles California and married to a Norwegian girl who is a big fan of yours!
Very pleased for John Carew and Stoke
