Kean's position at Ewood Park had come under scrutiny on the back of one win in eight Premier League games which has left Blackburn just one point outside the relegation zone. A betting plunge saw Kean's odds to be the next top-flight boss to be sacked plummet as Rovers fight for their survival. However, co-owner Venkatesh Rao has rejected suggestions Kean is on borrowed time and stressed the manager has their full backing. In control "I think it's absolutely not correct," Rao told Sky Sports News regarding the latest rumours about Kean's future. "The situation is in control. We are very much with the managers. The rumours have come, but we have to work positively." Rao is also confident that Blackburn boast a positive future following the takeover by Venky's earlier in the season. He added: "Blackburn Rovers is very, very positive. I can tell from day one we are there for the club. "We are looking for the season to finish and looking at many more things, such as a training ground and training academy in India. "We are thinking of a long-term prospect. As a team we've also got a good bunch of players and the manager is very nice and very positive. "Time will cure the whole thing and we have to keep playing good."
