"People will say I've been summoned but I've heard that on my last six or seven trips," Kean told Sky Sports News.
"We always have a sit down and a talk," he added.
"I come here once a month to sit down with the family and talk about all aspects of the club and the games, the development of the younger players, the integration of the new players, what we want to do in the next transfer window, the funding of that.
"We speak about all aspects and what I will be doing is exactly what I normally do - going through all that."

John Jensen left the post recently and Kean revealed his successor is already being sought.
"We've made a little bit of progress and spoken to a few people," Kean said.
"I've received a few CVs and lots of calls. I have spoken with the family at length and the person I want to come in will be the person who will be sat in the dugout beside me, so that's very positive."
