Blackburn Rovers hoping for swift appointment
7:52pm Friday 28th December 2012 in Sport
BLACKBURN Rovers have tonight issued a statement confirming they are aiming to appoint a new manager as soon as possible.
Rovers sacked boss Henning Berg on Thursday after only 57 days in charge and have put reserve team manager Gary Bowyer in temporary charge for tomorrow's Championship fixture at Barnsley.
The club have now released a statement saying they are hoping to put a new manager in place swiftly, although they stressed an appointment is not imminent.
The statement read: "In light of current rumour and speculation, Blackburn Rovers would like to reassure supporters that the club are seeking to appoint a new manager in the shortest possible time."
Global advisor Shebby Singh added: “We are undertaking a proper process and though no announcement is imminent, we are working hard to make the right appointment as quickly as possible.”

Remember, there's no rush because each week without a manager saves the wages bill.
Will the new manager be in place by the January window ? Doubt it. Which means that Shabby will be in charge of transfers - perhaps one of the reasons Bergo had to go.
I'm expecting a new "Buy three Portuguese and get two more free" spree. Seriously, the Venkys have to start off-loading some of the high earners, or the end will come even more quickly.
Interesting to hear Shabby admit that he hadn't personally spoken to the man he sacked - he was showing some Malysians round instead- what a poltroon (posh word for coward).
I'm already looking forward to next season's fixture list to see when we play Fleetwood.
Happy New Year to all who wish Rovers well.

Only the desperate will want to work with you and your masters, Jordan Ali, no thank you.
SS you are out of your depth, wrong choice in Berg so no faith with any of your decisions, speedy appointment….. Shebby define speedy?
May be you cannot go back to your short list after passing on the previous applicants so who will come to Ewood now? I am doubting whether you can pick you own nose, the failure of Berg and his staff should all land on your desk so hopefully you are next to go or do the right thing and resign
You have left me as one totally disillusioned supporter

Mark Hughes would not be able to do diddly squat for you now unless the venkys left. 2/ The only sort of manager you would now get is either one desperate for any job for a pay day i.e. Phil Brown type or some unknown rookie. EITHER WAY both will fail as the structure is not going to change whilst your owners have no hands on running of the club and besides would not have a clue what to do if they did! as their experience is selling chicken in an Indian economy!!

It should have been done earlier as now most of the assets~(playing) are gone. The club is heading for oblivion and every penny any fan gives them goes to them - not your club. If this had been done 2 years ago as many suggested the club would have survived - now however the consequences are going to be hard to take - Liquidation aka Rangers would in fact seem harsh but it would give the club the opportunity to rebuild ableit maybe from the 3rd tier.. But you would rebuild ,get rid of all the silly contracts, the Hendry types, the certain Agent.. Rangers will hate what happened to them but mark my words in 5-7 years they will be the strongest club in Scotland. When you do rebuild show you are real fans and gibve your club the support both vocally and financially it will need. Yes Premiership will be hard but being realistic the championship is a realistic target short term. Now going onto a broader picture many clubs are in financial uncertainty and many will be faced with rebuilding in the not to distant future. It will not be the end of the world. The players you have and the contracts they are on is simply not a viable model - And Shebby Singh/Venkys will destroy the club - Good luck all fellow football fans - I do have genuine sympathy - PLAN B - Any very rich Blackburn fans out there???

The diseased Rovers will never get on the road to recovery until the gangrenous Singh has left the club.
He has no experience ,totally out of his depth ,he was a football pundit in Singapore , and only then as the token local that all the foreign football channels employ, his comments were laughable.
Get Rid of Singh,and then the parasites that live off puss and poison will be shown the door very quickly .
The man that was brought into drive Steve Kean around when Kean got convicted for drink driving and came in under the title "defensive coach" does anyone know any reason why he is still there ?
Everyone I speak to is at a complete loss as to why HENDRY kept his job and we lose all these good men ,anyone know ?
Why have we lost honourable men and good coaches like Eric Back and we retain the services of the defensive coach ,then assistant to the reserve team manager and now back as first team coach again, the whole scenario is just ludicrous.
We need to bring in a very experienced man not as manager but as transitional overseer,someone to sort out the mess Singh and the previous manager )Kean) has put us in ,bring in someone like George Graham/Walter Smith/ Joe Royle someone to oversee a hiring of a new manager and then a completely new capable coaching staff ,the job now is too much for a manager to walk in and sort out .

I am sorry it hasn't worked out for HB as I am sure he is genuine guy and was in it for the right reasons.
Other than stating all the obvious points about how poorly SS is handling his role - it is totally bemusing how the club and Agnew in particular can allow such dross to be banded about by the media. If ever the was a need for a PR strategy and solidarity from WITHIN its now! Instead we have a non-existent PR machine...or do we? It strikes me the in-fighting continues. Who is leaking the rumour in the first instance? PA and DS?
Wake up and smell the coffee Venkys - SS is not up to the task. You need to listen to proper experienced football people (and I suggest you look further than your current stock of so called Diectors).
Appoint an inexperienced MANAGER (yes you need a MANAGER) at your peril.
Rumours of a group of coaches with no manager is absurd. Akin to a ship without a Captain, a Cabinet without a PM or an army without a General.
Success comes to people who are open to change and prepared to embrace it - but it also comes to those who realise the it comes about by doing things in a certain way. I'm all for change - but to create a new system of management which flies in the face of anything else that has ever been proven to work in football - or even appointing some far from appetising coach - is nothing short of ridiculous at this stage in proceedings.
What makes this farce even more galling is that we won't be able to make the most of the Jan. transfer window either.
The whole thing is a bl***y disgrace.
Please let us have our club back - even it it means we must rebuild from the lower leagues. We just want to see the back of you ALL.

This could be done through the Indian Press and with protests outside the Indian embassies and consulates in the UK. Jack Straw and others could petition the India government officials etc and fans could display the banners at matches. We should have done that instead of targeting Kean then we may have removed the root cause of all our troubles and not just the boil on the surface.
