Blackburn Rovers co-owner Venkatesh Rao insists that Steve Kean‘s job is not under threat.

The Lancashire club have won only one of their last nine games in all competitions, and are now only one point away from relegation threatened Wolverhampton Wanderers.

There had previously been some reports claiming that the Rovers boss may be axed due to recent results, but Rao rejected such suggestions.

“I think it’s absolutely not correct,” he told Sky Sports News.

“The situation is in control. We are very much with the managers. The rumours have come, but we have to work positively.”

He added: “Blackburn Rovers is very, very positive. I can tell from day one we are there for the club.

“We are looking for the season to finish and looking at many more things, such as a training ground and training academy in India.

“We are thinking of a long-term prospect. As a team we’ve also got a good bunch of players and the manager is very nice and very positive.

“Time will cure the whole thing and we have to keep playing good.”
