He has been in a family who decided education was the way to push him so he has not been in any Academy programme.<\/p>\n<p>&#8220;I actually recommended him earlier in the season and he came down here for a few weeks and did really well.<\/p>\n<p>&#8220;Now, as manager, I have the opportunity to bring him in &#8211; as manager I can decide who is coming in &#8211; and he is a player with a bright future.<\/p>\n<p>&#8220;I am very confident when he comes in he will have a bright future, will continue to develop and we&#8217;ll push him through.&#8221;<\/p>\n<h4>Great relationship<\/h4>\n<p>Kean also cleared up any confusion over the role of Anderson snr at Ewood Park, insisting he is a respected advisor but does not meddle in football matters.<\/p>\n<p>&#8220;Jerome advised the Walker Trust (the previous owners), that was the first way it happened, on finding an owner so it was Blackburn who employed him,&#8221; Kean explained.<\/p>\n<p>&#8220;He found a new owner, who is now in place, and I have a great relationship with them.<\/p>\n<p>&#8220;Jerome will continue to advise them when he is asked to advise them but he has his own business to run.<\/p>\n<p>&#8220;I still have a fantastic relationship with Jerome, he has looked after me and I am delighted to still be involved in his agency.<\/p>\n<p>&#8220;But he does not have an office at Blackburn (as has been rumoured).<\/p>\n<p>&#8220;He is always welcome here when he does come here, the same as any other agent who has an appointment here to see myself or a player.<\/p>\n<p>&#8220;We always make that facility available. We are a very warm and open club and will continue to do that.&#8221;<\/p>\n<\/p><\/div>\n<\/p>\n<p><img decoding=\"async\" src=\"http:\/\/www.ghanamma.net\/wp-content\/uploads\/2011\/03\/ea22cbd1pic_2574624.jpg-150x150.jpg\" \/><\/p>\n<p>See the original post here:<br \/>\n<a target=\"_blank\" href=\"http:\/\/www.skysports.com\/story\/0,19528,11095_6845042,00.html\" title=\"Kean - I decide on transfers\" rel=\"noopener noreferrer\">Kean &#8211;
