Alan Shearer is the front-runner to take over as Blackburn manager as owners Venky’s prepare to put an end to Steve Kean’s public torment.
Venky’s bosses are studying reports of Saturday’s shambolic home defeat by West Bromwich before deciding whether to axe Kean now or hand him one final opportunity, in Tuesday’s basement battle with Bolton.
Either way, former Blackburn striker Shearer is ready to step in after being nominated by key advisers as the prime candidate to restore harmony at a club riven by public opposition to Kean and plummeting player morale.
Monday’s Lancashire Evening Telegraph, the influential local newspaper, is expected to call for Kean’s removal in a front page editorial.
After a brief spell in charge of Newcastle, it is understood Shearer is interested in taking the reins, despite Blackburn’s perilous position near the foot of the Barclays Premier League and the likelihood that he would have only a modest budget in the January transfer window.
