4. Steve Kean
It's true that Steve Kean was nobody's favourite person at Ewood Park during his troubled two years in charge, especially when you consider the deafening protests by Blackburn fans over his tenure in charge before and after their relegation into the Championship last season. But there are some who couldn't help feel sorry for him when he finally called it a day on his Blackburn career by resigning last September, claiming that his position had become "untenable" and was in effect being "forced out" of the club. Venky's, Blackburn's Indian owners, once attempted to influence team selection ahead of a game against Charlton shortly before Kean walked away, and basically used the manager as a puppet. If he was given a fair crack of the whip at a club without such external influences then he might actually be able to prove to his doubters that he is a pretty decent manager after all. Blackburn were third when he resigned, pushing for promotion and the club have fallen ten places since his departure. Source(s):
