Steve Kean on landing Blackburn job

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 today.
