Former Blackburn Rovers striker Kevin Gallacher believes that Steve Kean should leave his position as manager of the club.

The 45-year-old feels that Kean no longer has any allies within Ewood Park and that his departure would be best for all concerned.

"Initially it was a small contingency of fans against him, but now he has lost the support of the whole of Blackburn," he told BBC Radio Five Live.

"When you have lost the local newspaper and you are losing the local radio, it is time to walk or be sacked."

Kean revealed earlier today that he had not been issued an ultimatum by the club's owners.
