Betting now suspended on Steve Kean to be the next Premier League manager to leave

BETTING HAS been suspended on Steve Kean's future according to Ladbrokes.

The book has been closed following Blackburn's latest defeat at home to fellow strugglers Blackburn Rovers.

Before the match Kean was odds-on at 4/9 to be the next Premier League manager to leave his position and the result also leaves Blackburn as 1/2 favourites to face relegation this season (from 8/13).

Jessica Bridge of Ladbrokes said: "As far as punters are concerned it's a done deal. It's been a case of when and not if with Kean's future recently."
