FORCED OUT?: Championship club Blackburn Rovers FC Manager STEVE KEAN has resigned, saying he was forced into the decision as his position had become "untenable." Kean: "For reasons that I cannot discuss on legal advice, it is with deep regret, given my hard work and service for the club for a number of years, that I have been forced to resign as manager of Blackburn Rovers Football Club with immediate effect, due to my position as team manager becoming untenable" (PA, 9/28). The AFP noted Blackburn Caretaker Manager ERIC BLACK insists the club's Indian owners VENKY'S have "not meddled in team selection" after former boss Kean claimed his position with the Championship team had been made untenable.
