Kean sticks up for Ewood owners

The Lancashire club have slipped down the Premier League table having not won a game in the last three months, increasing fears that they may be relegated. Concerned fans held a demonstration outside Ewood Park following Monday night's defeat to Manchester City. Venky's have yet to form a bond with the fans and have been criticised for their lack of presence during this pivotal part of the campaign. Rovers take on fellow Lancashire rivals Bolton on Saturday in what should be a keenly contested game and Kean insists their Indian-based owners are here to stay. "They have purchased some property in the area and are planning to be at a lot more games - possibly expanding more businesses with the club in the UK," he said. "I wouldn't say the owners are not worried but I would say they are understanding of where we are in the league which is not as high as we would want to be. "But we haven't spoken about relegation at all."
