Under pressure Blackburn boss Steve Kean has stated that he is not worried about his future ahead of meeting the club owners in India, and feels some of the positive work he has done at Ewood Park has been overlooked.

The Lancashire team have only won one of their first seven games this term, and the Scottish coach has been the brunt of angry Rovers’ fans frustrations.

Despite flying to Pune to meet with the Venky Group, who own the Premier League side, Kean is remaining upbeat.

“We always have a sit down and a talk,” he told Sky Sports.

“I think people will say I have been summoned. I have heard that on my last six or seven trips. I come here once a month to sit down with the family and talk about all aspects of the club, the development of the youngsters, and what we want to do in the next transfer window.”

With constant dismissal rumours in the press, Kean has admitted that it can be difficult to stay positive, but is buoyed on by his players’ effort.

“It can get to you but not for one minute (do I doubt myself).”

“When I go on the training ground and see the lads responding, and get the backing of the family and the majority of the fans, then I am happy in my work and as long as I feel that we will turn things around. I have no doubt about that.”

The manager has also spoken of the young players that he has brought through during his time at the club, and feels that the side has a youthful exuberance that will stand them in good stead.

“I know people will throw stats and if it is only about stats and winning games then it is going to be hard for young players to develop.”

“I don’t know then if Phil Jones, Junior Hoilett, Jason Lowe, Grant Hanley and young Robbie Cotton, who is only 17 and I’ve brought on this trip, these guys will come through.

“We just need to get the balance right,” he concluded.
