Blackburn Rovers manager Steve Kean is reportedly on the verge of being sacked by the club's owners.

Rovers are currently second in the Championship table following four wins from their first seven matches.

However, a decision on the Scot's future is expected to be made by the Venky family within the next 24 hours, according to BBC Sport.

Kean, who has come under intense criticism from Blackburn's fans in the past year, was promoted from assistant manager in December 2010 following the sacking of Sam Allardyce.
