Blackburn boss Kean blows fuse over reports of player revolt

Blackburn Rovers boss Steve Kean has rubbished talk of player mutiny.

Rovers' manager blew his top at what he labelled cheap internet gossip that he clashed with skipper Paul Robinson and midfielder Steven Nzonzi - and even came to blows.

Kean rapped: "There hasn't been one fight or even a raised voice. We have had a tremendous week.

"It is laughable. Where it comes from is very mischievous. People are trying to put out stories and when you question them they run for the hills.

"It hasn't been the first time this season when things are put around that have not happened.

"It's just another thing you have to deal with.

"There have been a number - if I had to write a book. you would say, 'Impossible! That could not have happened.'

"There are a number of situations that I have had to come through. When they happen again you have the experience of how to deal with them.

"I think I have got a good relationship with the players at the club, and those who have left. I have had texts and voicemails from many."
