Blackburn boss Kean continues to ignore sack calls after Stoke defeat

Blackburn Rovers boss Steve Kean says he's learned to ignore sack calls from the gallery after their loss at Stoke City.

The 3-1 defeat at Stoke means Kean has the unenviable record of just six wins in 34 league matches since taking over from Sam Allardyce last December.

"I put it to the back of my mind. I am focused on the job," he said.

"I think if there are a few fans shouting then they can shout what they want.

"They can voice their frustrations; we are frustrated we didn't get anything from this game so I can share their frustrations.

"All I want to do is for the fans to go home happy because they have seen us winning and play well.

"If the fans are complaining and shouting against me I just want them to go home and have a good weekend.

"We are working for the same thing. Hopefully I can turn them around, hopefully we can turn them around because I don't just think it is me, it is the players and the rest of the fans - the majority of the fans - who want the same thing."
