Blackburn Rovers fans have written to their board asking them to consider sacking manager Steve Kean.

The club is currently owned by the Venky family who appointed Kean in December 2010 after the sacking of Sam Allardyce.

"The fans were willing to give Steve Kean a chance and were very open-minded about an appointment of a very inexperienced manager, somebody who had never managed a professional football team in his life," says the letter, which claims to represent 4,000 fans.

"The sense that any game was winnable under Mark Hughes has been replaced by the sense of expecting defeat against any team either home or away that now exists under Kean.

"A very real fear for the future is now setting on Rovers fans. Numbers speak louder then words. More than 1,000 season tickets down on last season? There is a growing frustration that the fans don’t believe they have been listened to by the owners."

Rovers currently sit 19th in the Premier League and travel to Fulham on Sunday looking for their first points of the season.
