Blackburn Rovers' deputy CEO Paul Hunt sacked after leak


Steve Kean
Blackburn's deputy chief executive Paul Hunt has been sacked after calling for Steve Kean's dismissal as manager.
According to a leaked letter seen by the Sporting Intelligence website,  Hunt told the club's owners in December that it was time for 44-year-old Kean to leave Ewood Park.

He was appointed Blackburn's deputy chief executive in June 2011 following spells as commercial director at Leicester City and Wigan. He previously spent more than seven years as head of corporate sales at Bolton.
However, Sporting Intelligence editor Nick Harris told the BBC the leak did not come from Hunt.
Rovers have made no comment but Kean is set to speak to the media on Wednesday.
In the letter, Hunt expressed the view that Kean's tenure "isn't working" and "is ready to go".
His departure comes days after the club were relegated from the Premier League following a 1-0 home defeat by Wigan.
Harris said Hunt was not responsible for his website obtaining the letter.
