Former Chelsea coach Paul Clement made a visit to Blackburn Rovers before John Jensen's shock axing last week, it has been revealed.

The People says Clement made a visit to Rovers A WEEK before Jensen left as Steve Kean's assistant.

Kean claims the departure of former No.2 Jensen was a 'board decision', but Clement was a guest and given a tour of the club days before his shock exit.

Jensen did not see the axe falling. He was on a night out with a few Rovers backroom staff - with Kean absent - only to find out he was leaving the next morning.
