Blackburn Rovers hoping for swift appointment

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.”

For more news about Rovers' current situation, see tomorrow's Lancashire Telegraph.

Please a decent young manager who is hungry for Success AKA Robbins,Parkinson or Fenlon and time to rebuild the ship.

Swift in Shaggy's book is anything less than 5 weeks. You "undertook a proper process" with Henning Berg. Isn't it about time you undertook a proper process and resigned?

Only 9 comments on the Bonleh page about their win against Derby on Boxing Day. I'll bet there are more comments by than that on here by Dingles within the hour. Just goes to show that they are totally obsessed by all things Rovers.

Why does the LET persist in calling Shabby the Global Adviser ? Can't it at least put the title in inverted commas ? or say "so-called " or "self-styled" ?
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.

I hate to say it again but the 'cup match' is the one to make these idiots sit up and take stock of what we think of them - they cant fudge the gate receipts because everyone has to pay - dont go - dont go!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

Just watch, David Dunn will be the next Blackburn manager. Why?

•He's already under contract (Cheap)
•He loves the club but older and under performing so easy to offer the role to stay around
•It's bat s**t crazy... Which is basically how Rovers operate these days

Sad to see Berg go, but was never the right choice, why not Souness or Dalglish, both done it before...no 2 ways about it, get this one wrong Venkys and my beloved BRFC wont exist anymore. RTID

8:41pm Fri 28 Dec 12

yes we do need a manager ASAP...but not some Bollywood actor...not some Global adviser called saggy ding or something like that.....and not someone who's only couple of stints as manager was at Villa or Leicester...some come on venkys get your heads out of the chicken's bum and put the right man in charge...not just the cheapest....or another YES man....i tell you something if that would be Bollywood actor gets the job or a job as a coach then i'm finished with rovers all together....that would be the final straw...and a complete p*ss take

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

Burnley Fan here - but a fan of all East Lancs clubs. So come in peace!! - What is going on is a travesty and just should not be allowed.!! Destroying the very fabric of a club steeped in proud tradition and it must hurt each and every fan to the core - its just sick. Shebby Singh acting like its a Computer game version like championship manager - (How on earth is a pundit( 'that term must be used loosely as he was a laughing stock when he did that) is allowed to select players is beyond me??? - Venkys only knowledge is from what very little they have been exposed to on Indian TV so to the Venky's he is the expert!!! They have seen Judan Alis football film so presume he must be a fantastic coach - YOU COULD NOT MAKE IT UP!! A COUPLE OF VERY IMPORTANT FACTS NOW 1/ No manager on earth can get your club out of this spiral under its current structure - e.g. Mark Hughes did well for you before but with a good board, no sheeby singh, football people around him with good experience etc etc, basically it was a well run club (and yes a lot of us clarets were slightly jealous). 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!! WHAT TO DO - Well there is only one course of action for the fans - and I said this last year AN ABSOLUTE AND TOTAL BOYCOTT!!!!! yes it hurts but Blackburn Rovers as you knew it is dead whilst they are there.! 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???

Cheers for that sensible contribution. All fans opinions are welcome its just that we usually only get those hysterical repetitive type from Burnley fans. You are right and Im sure we all think the same. We get a lot of stick about Jack Walker and thinking we are bigger than we are but the majority of us are actually just football fans like yourself who support our local club and enjoy the game of football. Im more concerned about getting these conmen out of our club than I am about which league we are in.

It's 'piece' not 'peace' and FC Burnley, you may not know any yourself, but there are actually Burnley fans who are football fans. I have friends who are Burnley fans and we have some good chats about our teams generally. What you might also not realise although you prove it by coming on here as much as you do, that a lot of your football enjoyment and amusement comes from having local rivals. Going by the build up to our derbies and everything that goes with it, with Rovers out of contention, your football calender would be pretty dull.

Rovers have to get rid of Venkys some how and whatever they say you all know sooner or later without them selling the club, they are going to bankrupt us and bugger off back to India.
Would you buy a used car off any of them? then dont keep giving them your money.
COMPLETELY BOYCOTT EVERYTHING BLACKBURN ROVERS UNTIL THEY SELL UP AND GO.NO MONEY, NO VENKYS CIRCUS.

Steve Kean was the hate figure till two months ago, now its Shebby Singh. Wonder who the next hate figure will be? the atmosphere at the club has improved recently, looks like we'll be back where we were two montha ago when fans argued with each other during games.

Good post and thank you for your peaceful insight, are you sure you are not a closset Rovers fan? The dark side will welcome you if you decide to change over!!
Thank you for your very honest, and sincere post, it needs more Blackburn supporters to have your vision. Realise that the club needs to be completely broken, in order to be rid of these Indian leeches, then and only then, can it be fixed. Then we can make the club healthy again, and rise up from the basket case it has now become. So all you true supporters be prepared for a very bleak future, before the sun ever shines on our club again. Like the phoenix we shall rise from the ashes of Venky's destruction, to be a great once again, when they are all rotting in hell.

If Glen Mullan is to be believed then it's Agnew and Shaw who are the problem at Rovers. It's them who want MacDonald, Shebby wants an experienced manager. It's Agnew & Shaw who are part of Team Kean and who have contacts with a certain agent still. Mullan even says that Shaw met the agent for a nice chat before he flew to India with Agnew. Agnew & Shaw have been summoned to India to explain themselves. As for the article in the Mirror calling for Singh's sacking, Singh has now apparently contacted his lawyer. Also remember Alan Nixon was very complimentary about Kean & Coyle. He even called Kean a 'gem'!!! Now ask yourself who is Kean and Coyle's agent? It might be fair to assume that all the muck-raking and media stories are being leaked to the press by people at Ewood who want Singh gone so that they can get back to how it was when Kean was there and certain agents slept at Brockhall during transfer windows. Singh is full of hot air and likes the attention, but he's got kean to quit and that hasn't gone down well with his friends at ewood and elsewhere.

Anyway, go on Brfcs.com and read the 'new manager' thread on there. it might open some eyes. All the above is on there. It might be rubbish but it's good to have both sides to the story.

GOOD LUCK Derek Shaw , we wish you well .

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 .

This email is to say that your not wanted at ewood,never have been,never will be.
If you want to compare football c.v."s please let me know,as ill walk all over you with mine and im nowhere near qualified to run a multi million pound football club,you should be ashamed of yourself trying to buy off the action group to keep them quiet,also trying to be "one of the lads"doesnt wash with ANY rovers fans,apart from the idiots from B.R.A.G.,
There are now plans in place to get ewood empty over the course of this miserable season that the poor hard worling rovers fans has had to put up with this nightmare for over two years.
Your manners and the way you conduct yourself in public is othing short of embarressing,if you think laughing to every question on the radio lancs talk in is the way to conduct yourself then you need to learn manners,i dont see any rovers fans finding anything laughable or funny about what is going on at ewood.
You can,if you have the bottle,forward this email to your employers because quite frankly,they need telling straight.
The entire boardroom,along with yourself and the owners need to do us ALL a favour and leave this club because quite frankly your emptying the ground and it wont be long before the most ardent fan wont come back.
The last thing i"d like to just confirm to you with 100% fact,you said on radio lancs that 50% will hate me,50% will love me....you had better buy yourself a calculator and reassess that perecentage.
A very angry and lifelong rovers fan....

P.S.
Dont bother trying to **** me with politician talk shebby,ive been all over the world and met the likes of you in every country...

There are other ways!!!

Remember the dirty blanket protests at the maze prison in Belfast?

What about the women rights campaigner that threw herself under the horse?

What about the Berlin Wall?

What about REAL protests!!

It's our Ground, our Club, our Blackburn!!!!

If you want to compare football c.v."s please let me know,as ill walk all over you with mine and im nowhere near qualified to run a multi million pound football club,you should be ashamed of yourself trying to buy off the action group to keep them quiet,also trying to be "one of the lads"doesnt wash with ANY rovers fans,apart from the idiots from B.R.A.G.,
There are now plans in place to get ewood empty over the course of this miserable season that the poor hard worling rovers fans has had to put up with this nightmare for over two years.

Why did Radio Lancashire let an NON Lancashire person speak?

Isn't this against all the stations beliefs?

It's a local station!!

Well done on Twaites Brewery on having all the pumps removed from
Ewood!!

We're in this together!!

Lets get back to the 80s at Ewood!

When we had Standing in the Blackburn End, and the REAL 5000 fans attended!

This was the real era at Ewood! No frills, just local fans watching THERE team!

Berg had to go on results alone. However it is shame that we aren't in a position to allow ANY manager time to try and turn things round.

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.

U mean emptier than we already seen this season so far? Not sure that tactic will work as a three quarter empty stadium has had no effect. I don't have any alternatives but for one that I and a few others suggested over a year ago - which was to target the Venkys. 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. But we still need to be active at the ground and at matches or the protest will whimper and die along with our club.

I am sure then any appointment of a new manager will be delayed until after the January transfer window closes. hence the timing of Berg's sacking. The Venkys do not want to spend any money !!!

So Singh spends months making sure he has "the right man" for the job and gets it wrong. What confidence can we therefore have in him getting it right this time? The guy is incompetent and should go.

QUOTE: BBC website news.
Garner said, "Is Michael Appleton the right man for the job? I don't know. But I have been on the internet today and I see he has a worse win percentage than Steve Kean and he is not the experienced name the fans want so he is on a hiding to nothing from the start."
