Kean digs in at fallen Rovers

Blackburn manager Steve Kean insists he and owners Venky’s are staying put while mystery surrounds the position of deputy chief executive Paul Hunt.

Kean was unwilling to comment on reports that Hunt had been sacked while nobody in the club’s press department was able to confirm or deny the rumours.

Speculation over Hunt’s position came a day after a letter he wrote to Venky’s last December calling for Kean’s removal was published. Hunt also warned of growing financial difficulties and the danger of relegation from the Premier League, which came to pass with defeat to Wigan on Monday.
