... Kean is due in India for his latest talks with Blackburn owners Venky's, with reports suggesting he will be sacked.
The Scot has become the centre of an internet storm after video footage of him making disparaging remarks about Sam Allardyce was published by a fans' action group.
A petition calling for Kean's removal containing almost 4,500 signatures was forwarded to Venky's by fans ahead of his arrival in India.
Press Association Sport understands Allardyce, who is now manager of West Ham, has instructed lawyers to initiate legal proceedings against Kean.
The BRFC Action Group, who posted the video on their website and YouTube, appear to be stepping up their campaign to oust Kean and the equally despised Venky's.
They pinpoint the club's takeover by the poultry firm 18 months ago as the start of their demise.
