Kean: Blackburn manager is preparing for their crucial run-in<\/p>\n<\/div>\n

Blackburn boss Steve Kean has vowed to continue in the job despite the growing calls for him to quit.<\/p>\n

Kean, 43, was appointed as the manager at Ewood Park following Sam Allardyce’s dismissal from the post in December.<\/span><\/p>\n

However, Kean has overseen a dire run that has seen Rovers fall to just two points above the drop zone.<\/span><\/p>\n

The run has left many fans calling for him to be ousted as concerns about his lack of experience continue to dog his first management appointment.<\/span><\/p>\n

Quitting<\/span><\/h4>\n

“Do I think about quitting? Not for a day, not for a second. It just makes me more determined to go out and win,” said Kean.<\/span><\/p>\n

“Do I think about quitting? Not for a day, not for a second. It just makes me more determined to go out and win”
Steve Kean<\/em> Quotes of the week<\/a><\/span><\/p>\n

“I think the criticism has been harsh. There was little written or said when we got a point at Arsenal.<\/span><\/p>\n

“Then the whole world is going to end because we have drawn a game at home to Birmingham.”<\/span><\/p>\n

The criticism of Kean has not just been exclusively the preserve of the national media, with even the local newspaper questioning his abilities.<\/span><\/p>\n

Positive<\/span><\/h5>\n

Yet, the former Reading and Fulham coach insists he will draw on the negatives of this testing period to provide a positive outcome for Rovers’ campaign.<\/span><\/p>\n

“It has been difficult to take. It’s in your face all the time and even the local paper is negative,” he added.<\/span><\/p>\n

“The lads don’t like it. David Dunn and Phil Jones are from around here and they feel it is harsh.<\/span><\/p>\n

“I can understand the frustration of the fans. We are sharing it too. But we are going to use it and harness it in our favour.”<\/span><\/p>\n<\/div>\n
