Blackburn Rovers manager Steve Kean says he is ready to meet some of the club's disgruntled fans if required to do so.

Rovers are bottom of the Premier League and a section of supporters have for some time been staging protests against Kean, calling for him to be sacked.

"I will always take direction from other people at the club more qualified than me to organise something like that," the 44-year-old said ahead of Tuesday's Carling Cup quarter-final at Cardiff.

"But if it is going to happen, then I would be available to do that."

Asked if he thought such a move was needed, Kean said: "I don't know.

"Possibly they might want access and want to know a little bit more about what is going on at Ewood.

"I think there has been a lot of suggestion that they would like to know a little bit more about the organisation and the running of the club.

"That is not my department, but I'm happy to talk on the football side."

One meeting Kean definitely has scheduled is with the club's owners Venky's, with whom he will be discussing potential January transfer window signings that might boost Blackburn's ailing league campaign.

"We've got a list and I will get a meeting with the owners in the next three or four days," Kean said.

"Hopefully we will be bringing in fresh faces and some quality in the window to compliment what we have already got."
