Steve Kean was appoined as Blackburn Rovers manager in January 2011 after Sam Allardyce was sacked at the end of 2010. Kean has endured a tough start to his managerial career and has constantly been under pressure. A very poor start to the season has resulted in a fans backlash and the 43-year-old has therefore become one of the favourites for the chop. There are a number of candidates in the frame to take over should Blackburn dispense of his services, with Rovers legend Alan Shearer the new favourite.
