Lets give the lad a chance, lets see who he gets rid of first, hopefully it will be Hendry, then he can start with a clean sheet, this would send out a message to the fans and show he is no "Yes" man.

Welcome to the mad house Henning.

Hendry would not be needed now at Rovers , the title he got when he came in under Kean was as a "defensive coach " Berg was a much more disciplined and more decorated defender than Hendry ,Bergs title haul was massive , so for that reason Hendry is simply unneeded .

And naturally the other and main reason Hnedry should go is for the reason he turned on the Rovers fans to support Kean, he is dishonest and dishonourable and we do not want the publicity he brings with him providing more negativity at Rovers get Hendry out now, and we know Rovers will be then showing real intent for a rebirth of Rovers.

Stop the all these negative comments now and get behind the club. We have got a manager with a hart for the club.
HB stood like a true viking inspite of the treatment he got in Lillstroem and will surely keep his integrety as gaffer in BRFC. He has a positive football philosophy and will ge rid of players not bleeding for their shirt.
We boys here in Larvik, Norway are behind you Henning and we still love our Rovers.

REDKNAPP RED HERRING. ITS HENNING BERG.

Harry Redknapp’s agent through a spanner in the works on Monday, by leaking the news Redknapp would be interested in the Blackburn Rovers manager’s job.

The press fell for it' hook line and sinker', in Tuesdays Daily Mail their sports page led with the story. The Lancashire Telegraph had the story plastered all over their Tueday’s edition and on bill boards throughout Lancashire.

All National Newspapers and Sky TV Sports News carried the story.

Talk Sport radio even had Glenn Mullan from the Blackburn Rovers action group to air his opinion on how Rovers fans will greet the news that Redknapp was to become their new manager.

It was all a spoof, and our National Newspapers and Media fell for it 'hook line and sinker'.

Redknapp’s agent, anxious to keep his clients name at the forefront, latched onto the Rovers job as being a possible creditable destination for Redknapp. Especially given the unpredictability of the Rovers owners. Redknapp’s agent was anxious that Harry should not be forgotten and a nudge in the direction of those Premiership clubs at the foot of the table was needed. QPR, SOUTHAMPTON, READING, and ASTON VILLA were put on alert that Harry would not be available forever.

The story had the desired effect and has Redknapp back in the forefront for the next Premiership vacancy that comes along. Redknapp was never to come to Blackburn.

So embarrassed was Redknapp at the media frenzy, the Daily Mail even had him at Ewood Park having an interview whilst he was at home in Bournemouth.

That Redknapp, to clear the air was interviewed on Talk Sport at 4pm on Tuesday afternoon, whilst praising Blackburn as being a good club with good fans he said “it isn’t for me and don’t know where the story has come from”.

YES YOU DO HARRY, it came from your agent and Blackburn Rovers were the victims of the hype.

Former Rover Henning Berg (pic above) was the one being interviewed, and he passed with flying colours. Impressing both Managing Director Derek Shaw and Global Advisor Shebby Singh. Henning Berg has been offered the job and it is his to refuse.

Alex McLeish remains on the Rovers shortlist along with Ian Holloway / Blackpool and Lee Clark / Birmingham, although neither of their clubs has been approached – unbelievable. Care taker Manager Eric Black remains a possibility should Berg turn down the Rovers. Alan Shearer remains an outsider.

One thing is for sure it won’t be Redknapp.

Henning Berg deserves our support.

The fact that we are lumbered with Shabby, Hendry, Shaw etc is NOT his fault.

If it is Henning then good luck to him and lets all get behind him.

Yes the club is a joke. Yes our global adviser is not much more than an ex pub footballer and TV gobshite, yes the infastructure of the club has been wrecked by the half wits frome Pune (where would they have got in life without daddy setting them up).

No matter what the state of our club is it is not the fault of Henning Berg, so please,please,please lets get behind him.

We are no longer a well run, stable and respected premier league club that could attract the managers from the top table.

We are unfortunately a badly run championship side in dissaray.

We quite rightly hate the destruction that has been wreaked upon our club. We despair at the idiots who have been appointed to run the club by the even bigger idiots in pune.

I think it's fair to say that we won't be at peace till the collection of half wits referrred to previously have gone from our beloved club. At least the ultimate scumbag Kean has gone. One down and a few more to go yet.

Henning Berg however has simply applied for a job at his former club where he is respected and remembered fondly. If he is appointed the we must all get behind him and support bioth him and the team. Nothing else is good enough.

We the fans protested long and hard against kean for very good reason. Most, if not all of us know without doubt that Kean needed to be removed and we the fans took the only action we could to remove him. We did it for the good of our club.

If we carry on to protest after a new manager has been appointed then we are quite rightly open to critisism that we are damaging our club even further. We wiil we be open to derision and we will deserve it.

I will welcome the new manager and offer 100% support. The mess we are in is not of his making.

Good luck Henning. I am right behind you and hope that i speak for all the other Rovers faithful past and present.

Good luck!!!!!!!!

Spot on capt.....

If that turd Kean, one of the worst managers in the history of world football, can guide Rovers towards the top of the league and Eric Black (who's done a decent job considering the circumstances) can steady the ship and stop us leaking goals for fun (Hendry gets no credit I'm afraid) then The Ice Man can get us back up to the promised land, of that I am ceratin.

All you moaning whinge bags who have been spoilt over the last 20 years, either man up and support your club or stamp your feet all the way to Citeh!

Personally there is a real shift in football happening, with more and more teams trying to develop a version of the Barcelona possesion football and an emphasis on technique, this means a new breed of manager is coming to the front of the pack, (would Swansea have allowed a coach like Brendan Rodgers to develop a pass and move style 30 years ago), these managers are all attending the latest coaching courses and employing new modern techniques to player welfare and development,( By the way for those who dont think the courses are valid, these course dont teach you how to play football, they teach you how to structure development and deliver training plans succefully to players)what this also means is a lot of the old school managers who can`t adapt are starting to struggle to keep up and as time goes by the modern player will seek clubs employing the modern progressive managers as opposed to the dinosaurs. With a bit of look Berg will be one of these modern managers willing to use all the latest developments and stratergies to develop his players, only time will tell. One thing for sure is the likes of Mick Mcarthy wouldnt. If it is confirmed good luck NB

Lets boycott and cause even more chaos eh?

Wecome back to Blackburn Rovers Henning! You were a excellent player and a model professional during your time with us and at Man Utd and your football knowledge and experience is really welcome now at Ewood.

You face a big task ahead (as you surely know) with promotion the immediate target. But with one or two well selected additions in the Jan window then the squad should be strong enough to achieve that. But your professional guidance along with the introduction of better fitness coaching and more astute tactics and offensive strategy will be needed to be in place quite quickly.

Lots of names have been bandied about over the last few weeks -- some good, some bad and some downright ugly - but I believe that you have the dignity and stature to restore some of the pride in our club that has been in short supply recently.

Bon Chance Henning Berg!

Well before you start presuming to tell us all we don't have your great memories, mine start with winning the old 3rd Division. Why don't you click of to Wikipedia and learn when that was and spare us your ravings. Better yet go chain yourself to MxMave, Misery loves company.

Welcome Henning you should get 100% support from all Rovers fans but to draw a PROPER line under the Kean era then all those pro-Kean (ANTI fan) appologists have to leave the club. Black. Hendry and Agnew have all supported Kean whilst putting us Rovers fans into a bad light with the national media - or had you forgotten ??

The Kean legacy, especially that of an unfit squad, will hinder him this season. Hopefully, we will at least see positive signs, even if we don't get promoted this year. That's not the given some people seem to think it should be, regardless of who gets the job. I don't know if this is just an impression I have, but Norwegian footballers always seem very level headed and consumate professionals; two of the qualities which have been sadly missing at Ewood for the last two years. The Humming Bird always gave the impression he was both and a carefully considered approach will do no harm whatsoever. Bring a little calm to the storm which is BRFC. We may have to be patient and hope Venkys continue to back him. There are a lot of things which need sorting out and we may have to think more evolution than revolution.

On 19 August 2008, Lyn announced that Berg had accepted an offer from Lillestrøm, where he had last played in 1992. Henning Berg signed a five-year contract and took over as head coach on 21 October 2008. On 27 October 2011, after gaining only a single point in 8 matches, Berg was sacked from Lillestrøm.- THATS CORRECT 1 POINT FROM 8 GAMES!!! That takes some doing and then without a club for over a year - Is kean behind this to ensure he looks good when Berg does worse than him???

If you were offered a straight swapped Berg for Kean 6 Months ago you would snap there hand off and considering who it could of been eg Maradonna, everyone should wipe the forehead with the back of there hand and go PHEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEE EEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEE EEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEW.

100% blue, and judging from the number of thumbs up on that comment so do many other fans. Of course Redknapp as manager would whet most teams pallette, why wouldn't it, he is an experienced premiership manager. but in the end he would have wanted a premiership budget and brought us down if we weren't successful on the first attempt to go back up. Hopefully Berg will bring a bit of stability to the team to get us there without bankruptcy.

I actually feel quite sorry for Henning in a way. Why? Because he is coming to a club which has been turned into a circus by these awful owners, a club which a far cry from the one he came to on those other 2 occasions. He is coming to manage a club who's supporters, with a previously unblemished reputation for behaviour, have been turned into negative, cynical, protesting moaners by the owners. Instead of 100% of the fans being behind him from word go, he will have to win these fans over with results which will have to be good ones and god help him if it goes pear-shaped. Rovers fans have become intolerant and impatient, but this is neither the fault of us supporters or Henning Berg. The owners are 100% to blame for this situation. I'm not the only one who thinks that employing a failed Norwegian manager and now TV pundit is a mistake, having prayed for an experienced manager to try to undo the damaged caused by that lying, Scottish chancer we've just got rid of. But it's not Berg's fault. All we can do now is support him and hope to hell this seemingly suicidal gamble pays off. Being a habitual pessimist, I'm not holding my breath, but I will be supporting the team and keeping everything crossed that Henning 'ice' Berg can succeed. Good luck!!!

Wecome back to Blackburn Rovers Henning! You were a excellent player and a model professional during your time with us and at Man Utd and your football knowledge and experience is really welcome now at Ewood.

You face a big task ahead (as you surely know) with promotion the immediate target. But with one or two well selected additions in the Jan window then the squad should be strong enough to achieve that. But your professional guidance along with the introduction of better fitness coaching and more astute tactics and offensive strategy will be needed to be in place quite quickly.

Lots of names have been bandied about over the last few weeks -- some good, some bad and some downright ugly - but I believe that you have the dignity and stature to restore some of the pride in our club that has been in short supply recently.

Bon Chance Henning Berg!

Thanks,But you'll find I never said venkys had to go anywhere. I know Berg wasn't my first choice, or my second, or my third, but I said whoever they appoint I will support him, with the exception of Drug cheat Maradona. So Berg gets the job and he will get my 100% backing as would anyone. I would have preferred OGS but all this is irellevant. The deal is done and its Berg so we get on with it and move on.
I must say I am really pleased Burnley chose Dick van Dyke, his musicals are awesome, my favourite is chitty chitty bang bang. Superb.

I'll second this. Add to the above questions "How many candidates did you actually interview?" This is an important question as in Shabby's interview he said that the only way to assess a candidate was to see them face to face. That way you can really judge the person. So, to get back to the question, how many candidates of the total number did he dismiss without meeting them? I think we need to know if Shabby is to earn our respect, which he doesn't have at the moment.

The fear I have and stated right at the beginning of the process is the total lack of professionalism shown by the club and it has to be said the LT and It's reporters who have not covered themselves in glory the past few weeks.

Berg knows he is at best third fourth fifth choice. Total split amongst the hierarchy as to his appointment so what are their relationships now like?

Only the most narrow minded fan would not wish him the best and if he has any sense at all he will surround himself with quality people and MANAGE.

From this mornings press!! He likes to play 4 4 1 1 with players wide with pace. We started last week so to continue the list of quality players for him the player ( scouser ) Noone from Cardiff and Matt Philips from Blackpool are two for starters anyone know of any others to be helping Henning and co out?

Me ...I just want some of that blind optimism to return to my footy team, and to have a team and a manager to support again ( no atmosphere at ewood once we've no one to slag off) welcome back henning !!! hope you've done a good deal with venky's '...I've never felt more like singing the blues .......'

Wish you would do one, you truly are a muppet .I really don`t know why you post on here you obviously aren`t a fan. look back at the posts above yours 99% of them are true fans that actually support Rovers. If you are that offended or annoyed at the goings on at Ewood it could be about time you found yourself another club.

According to Berg’s current employers, Norwegian TV2, Blackburn have offered the 43 year-old the vacant manager's job, with only minor contract details still to be negotiated.
However, it was only five months ago that Berg, who won the Premier League title with Blackburn in 1995, admitted he would be reluctant to consider working for Venky's, calling it "madness".

Berg said: "To work for a Premier League club would be fun, and even a Championship club as well. However, to work as a manager for a club you need the right owners and to take over as a manager in a club (Blackburn) with owners like that is madness.

"There are no real managers with credibility who would accept a job like that. You might end up shooting yourself in the foot. You might end up being there a few months with nothing really working and being unable to do what you want.

"The owner situation needs resolving and I hope that Jack Walkers' family, as they still have some money, will buy the club back and start running it again under the same principles as Jack Walker did when he was alive."

Thanks for that banana and showing such an interest in a club you despise.

You will therefore be delighted with Bergs appointment and be content in the knowledge that Bonleh will soon be lording it over Rovers for years to come.

Son, I saw my first Roves match i 1962. Ever since we go to UK three or four times each season. So don`t you false me. I am hardcore Rover.

Negatives first :- This was an opportunity to appoint a young manager with experience and who is at the top of their game at the moment and who could tick all Venkys boxes and they have failed. Instead they have appointed a man to take us forward who was a flop in his last job and has no track record of any reasonable success and it has taken 5 weeks to do it. This is another bad gamble after Steve Kean, and why are they announcing it in India first do they think this is some big coo hiring a flop. Berg will not put bums on seats either unless he does really well I am also concerned about the youth acadamy with the influx of idian youngsters along with all those from portugal that can't get on the bench. I hope that all this potential influx of indian players and coaches will be on merit and not because they are on some sort of crusade that will effect the well being of our traditional club in the long term.
Anyway now for the positives. :- Maybe this appointment will leave room for Eric Black and co who have done a fantastic job under the circumstances and do not deserve the sack. They have transformed the defence and got the best out of the players and hopefully Berg will continue that and maybe tweek the side to attack more. We have to hope Berg uses his bad experience to good effect like Holloway and Brendan Rogers have done and that he has learned from his mistakes unlike Kean did.Black seems the sort of guy who will help the new manager who ever it is and who has good knowledge of the players to pass on etc and should work well with Berg and the players. Berg can also bring his own man to work along side the team if he thinks he needs it. Lets hope he will be strong with Venkys and Shebby and doesnt let them bring him off track. Finally he wants to come to Blackburn and was a good servant when he was here.
I wont be getting a season ticket until I see how he is doing but I will be going to the odd match and hopefully we will all get behind him and stop the booing from now on please.

Come on smelly. It's done, Kean has gone and a real Rover is now in the hot seat. Stick to what you know, not what you believe. When you know, you don't need to believe. Know that Berg is a winner, he has reached the top several times, he was a great defender and knows more about defence than almost anyone, he is not stupid. Most people would have chosen somebody else, but even then there would not have been full agreement. There is no way of telling if he is a yes-man. I think he will definitely not be a yes-man. You know what, he might even be taking the job to steady the ship until December when OGS becomes available. If you want to believe, then believe in that and give your ulcer some rest.

RUinsane what is it with your mate, most of the post for days have been how bad Mr Berg would be at Ewood, and the Venkys need to go. I think Berg will prove alot of people wrong and get fans back, he was amazing for you guys in Jacks Day. And any chance you stop assuming all Burnley fans are like the d**k that is proudburnleylad, you seem to usally talk sence but at times you are the leading ****.

Thanks,But you'll find I never said venkys had to go anywhere. I know Berg wasn't my first choice, or my second, or my third, but I said whoever they appoint I will support him, with the exception of Drug cheat Maradona. So Berg gets the job and he will get my 100% backing as would anyone. I would have preferred OGS but all this is irellevant. The deal is done and its Berg so we get on with it and move on.
I must say I am really pleased Burnley chose Dick van Dyke, his musicals are awesome, my favourite is chitty chitty bang bang. Superb.

Tell you the truth when you appointed DICKIE I had to google him as i'd never heard of him. And when I saw a picture, i'd only ever seen him in movies with the orange painted out. I liked his performance in Mary Poppins. I must admit them makeup artists did a good job covering that orange nut

You got it...I haven't yet decided if Venky's are actually the victims of this or part of it. I suspect they are innocent but ignorant fools... One things for certain...the Kentaro keyboard monkeys have been hard at work all afternoon trying to convince everyone that Henning (1 win in 8) Berg is the right man for the job. When, in fact, he is just there to satisfy the need for those involved to retain their own financial control. This news is disastrous for all TRUE Rovers supporters, that's for sure!

RUinsane what is it with your mate, most of the post for days have been how bad Mr Berg would be at Ewood, and the Venkys need to go. I think Berg will prove alot of people wrong and get fans back, he was amazing for you guys in Jacks Day. And any chance you stop assuming all Burnley fans are like the d**k that is proudburnleylad, you seem to usally talk sence but at times you are the leading ****.

Thanks,But you'll find I never said venkys had to go anywhere. I know Berg wasn't my first choice, or my second, or my third, but I said whoever they appoint I will support him, with the exception of Drug cheat Maradona. So Berg gets the job and he will get my 100% backing as would anyone. I would have preferred OGS but all this is irellevant. The deal is done and its Berg so we get on with it and move on.
I must say I am really pleased Burnley chose Dick van Dyke, his musicals are awesome, my favourite is chitty chitty bang bang. Superb.

Jesus Christ! How many times are you going to try and get a laugh with this 'Dick van Dyke' thing? You're almost starting to sound as desperate as you are stupid! Maybe the reason nobody finds it funny, and the reason nobody's giving you the pat you on the back that you so desperately crave is because it's pronounced 'dyshe' you complete moron!

Wow...all these 100% genuine Rovers supporters coming out of the closet and actually stating they are excited by Henning Berg taking over. It just proves that the LET poll must have been fixed all along...I don't recall Henning Berg's name having being featured at all?? It's certainly strange to fathom.....Holloway? McCarthy? Shearer? Redknapp? But no....Henning "1 win in 8" Berg is the man that "genuinely" gets "99%" of fans excited!!!

Look at his comments on Rovers while we were under Kean -he obviously cares about the club.

He also appears to be a nice, down to earth character, which will be a welcome change.

According to Berg’s current employers, Norwegian TV2, Blackburn have offered the 43 year-old the vacant manager's job, with only minor contract details still to be negotiated.
However, it was only five months ago that Berg, who won the Premier League title with Blackburn in 1995, admitted he would be reluctant to consider working for Venky's, calling it "madness".

Berg said: "To work for a Premier League club would be fun, and even a Championship club as well. However, to work as a manager for a club you need the right owners and to take over as a manager in a club (Blackburn) with owners like that is madness.

"There are no real managers with credibility who would accept a job like that. You might end up shooting yourself in the foot. You might end up being there a few months with nothing really working and being unable to do what you want.

"The owner situation needs resolving and I hope that Jack Walkers' family, as they still have some money, will buy the club back and start running it again under the same principles as Jack Walker did when he was alive."

Thanks for that banana and showing such an interest in a club you despise.

You will therefore be delighted with Bergs appointment and be content in the knowledge that Bonleh will soon be lording it over Rovers for years to come.

I'm pretty sure I don't despise anything or anyone. I have quite a few friends that are Wovers fans, and enjoy friendly banter with them, but you can't blame us for having a bit of a snigger at the comical goings on at your place at the moment, especially after having to listen to you lot 'lord it' over us for some time now.

Quote from wiki ' Lillestrøm
On 19 August 2008, Lyn announced that Berg had accepted an offer from Lillestrøm, where he had last played in 1992. Henning Berg signed a five-year contract and took over as head coach on 21 October 2008. On 27 October 2011, after gaining only a single point in 8 matches, Berg was sacked from Lillestrøm.- THATS CORRECT 1 POINT FROM 8 GAMES!!! That takes some doing and then without a club for over a year - Is kean behind this to ensure he looks good when Berg does worse than him???

Hello bananaman,
I'm not very good at telling jokes, I always get the punchline wrong but anecdotes, I could make you wet your pants.
I once worked with a guy who was a Burnley supporter, the first Burnley supporter i'd ever met in the flesh.. The boss came in and said to him, can you take this box of fluorescent tubes to another site for him. He said sure and went to get his car. He had one of them 3 litre Capri's with a sunroof, must have been considered royaty from dingle land.
Anyway he pulls up outside the workshop, gets out and winds the rollershutter up just enough to get his car in the loading bay. He then backs it in.
We all stand there and watch with some amazement and hilarity as he tries to fit 6 foot tubes in his 2 door capri without much success.
He then has a brainwave and opens the sunroof and places the box in the open hole with the top half sticking out. He then smiles at us all chuffed with his obvious einstien problem solving abilities gets back in his car and drives it under the roller shutter door having forgot that he only raised it enough to get his car through. Yep you guessed it, he chopped an entire fookin box of 25 6 foot tubes in half covering himslef in white dust and sh1t loads of glass. To compound this hilarious event he jumps out of his car looking like a fookin white icicle and accuses someone of putting the door down when he wasn't looking.
That is the first time I met a Burnley fan in the flesh. Superb memories. He was known as the iceman from then on in..
Do you want another tale of the iceman? I have plenty of this bafoon
The one about the parrot being one of my favourites, that tale even makes me wee my kecks.

I and thousands of Rover loyalists have no confidence in Venkys' ownership,nor in Shabby's ability, but Berg comes with a reservoir of goodwill amongst all but the most begrudging of fans.
How Berg's desire and freedom to do what he feels is necessary pans out with Shabby and Venkys will be the key.
Rovers certainly need a fitness coach as a priority. They also need a leader on the field. Let's see what Berg does.
Do we still need a defense coach now ? I recall that Sam sacked the useless Ince croney, Nigel Winterburn, and said he'd be his own defense coach.
Let's hope Berg does the same and sacks Hendry, a thoroughly admirable player but what a let down as a coach and human being.
By the way of correction, someone says Hughes was unproven - not true, he'd been an excellent manager for Wales and came with a lot of plaudits for his skill at team building on limited talents.
I feel that bit more optimistic for the first time since Venkys came.
Good luck Henning.

Fully agree.

Let’s stop and think for a minute. Henning clearly knows what has been going on at Ewood and he said some pretty scathing things about Venky’s in the summer. So if he has come here prepared to let Shabby and Venky’s trample all over him he is going to finish up with a massive loss of face.

I don’t think he is that sort of person.

He can be under no illusions about Venky’s catastrophic reign at the club for which he has such fondness. His heart is still very much at Ewood.

So maybe, just maybe, he applied for the job in the hope that he could bring some sanity, some stability and some success back to the club. It will not be easy. He must be strong.

I would not think for a minute, under these circumstances, that he has not told Shebby that he demands full control of team affairs without any interference from him or his paymasters. And I don’t think for a minute that he would have taken on this task unless he had been given that assurance.

Don’t expect instant success. Over the next few weeks he can hopefully bring some organisation, skill, method and fitness back to the team. In the meantime working on his plans for the upcoming transfer window.

We know he is a winner and by the end of January we will have some idea whether there has been a new dawn…
