Venky's give Steve Kean the ultimate endorsement

Venky's have handed Steve Kean the ultimate agreement by stating that they will NOT SACK him during the two and a half year contract that they plan to offer him.

Kean has been in the hot seat for less than a month but already has been tipped for big things by his bosses and praised for his positive attitude towards the club.

It seems that the much criticised Rao's are keen to generate a period of stability at the club.

Anuradha Desai, boss of the parent company whose subsidiary, Venky's London Ltd, bought Blackburn in a £43million deal in November, said: 'Steve Kean will be safe in his job for the duration of that contract, whatever happens.

'I guarantee that. Without stability you cannot have success, and this provides stability. It's the way we work.

And the Kean endorsements didn't end there with a second family member chipping in.

Venkatesh Rao added - 'We have been very impressed with Steve Kean, he works hard; he's energetic; he's open and honest; he's enthusiastic about improving himself and the club; he shares our vision.

'Our ideas match and the synergy matches. We think it's a win-win.

'It goes without saying that we will not sack Kean. I am a passionate believer that if someone has a positive attitude then they'll have a positive outcome. There are people working for us across India who have been with our company for three or four decades, since our father started the business. We put our faith in people and work together to succeed.'

That's a big promise to make at this early stage from Venky's!!!
