Rovers Blog: Singh playing the lead role in Ewood pantomime season
10:39am Tuesday 1st January 2013 in Sport
By Dan Clough, Reporter
WELL the circus continues and ringmaster Shebby Singh is making us football’s biggest laughing stock.
Henning Berg should probably never have got the job. I am glad he has gone before his name has been dragged through the mud.
He can hold his head high.
The sackings of Eric Black, Iain Brunskill and Bobby Mimms, though not altogether unexpected, were done disgracefully.
And I still don’t fully understand how Mimms can shoulder any blame. He’s only a goalkeeper coach.
For them to find out via the media just shows how far this club has fallen. Merry Christmas and all that.
In my last column two weeks ago I called for Shebby to go. I reiterate that call.
His 606 interview gave him a national platform on which to look ridiculous, and he duly obliged.
The most frightening prospect to come out of an incredible fortnight was that of a Bollywood actor joining the coaching staff. Then again, I had heard Judan Ali had always dreamed of acting in a true British farce.
Before we took on Berg, I sent in an application for the vacant managerial position at Blackburn Rovers as a joke to see what would happen.
Aside from once taking Rushden and Diamonds from the Conference to the Championship on an old version of PC game Championship Manager, I have no football management experience.
But surely I should expect a phone call soon?
At least the nation’s press appears to have finally woken up to the real plight of Rovers. Unfortunately those journalists who seemed to need a lot of persuading that things weren’t altogether tickety boo have already succeeded in tarnishing the reputation of our core fanbase.
Now the pressure is on for Venky’s and Shebby Singh.
Get the next appointment right or suffer the consequences.
Mrs Desai, don’t leave the decision in his hands. Please.

Granted, the end result was what everyone wanted but let's not put Shebby on a pedestal - he's no shining knight in blue and white armour.
AT LEAST HE HAS THE COURAG AND STAND UP FOR WHAT HE BELIVES.. HE is the one who got rid of nightmare Kean he also quickly realised Berg was not the answer.. he has overpaid professionals who dont want to accept responsibilities..Pl

Paul Agnew And Derek Shaw are the real Poison at this club, Shebby is pretty insignificant compared to those two parasites(Agnew imparticular).

See the little amateur reporter here done all his research by reading the tabloids and listening to 606!!!!

1. Get rid of SS,PA,DS,CH.
2. Send one of the Rao's to Wigan to see how a small town club should be run
3. Appoint a proper chairman with the appropriate values that Rovers always stood for (ideally John Williams if he would take it or Venkys would be prepared to eat humble pie)
4. Allow the new chairman to appoint an internal structure which reflects what Rovers always was- stable,prudent,in touch with the supporters.
5. Give the above carte blanche to appoint their own manager of the club and initiate a major campaign over the summer to reclaim the thousands of supporters who whilst still supporting the club have voted with their feet and cannot bear to step into Ewood.
6. Venkys to back the new administration without reservation and to adopt a totally back seat position at least until some modicum of stability is restored
Simples really

All three should go, but because they're all awful at the jobs they're employed to do.

Talking of championship manager I have recently taken Aston Villa to three consecutive league titles, 2 FA cups, 1 Europa cup and a champions league win. Does that qualify me above shebby.
