Atkins: Berg needs unity at Blackburn Rovers (From Lancashire Telegraph)

The unity is there alas only from those attending, I fear ?

Great effort and unstinting belief is going to be required in putting the good ship Ewood back into calm waters.

Henning Berg is that man for let us be honest here their are not many other managers out there who would care to take a risk with present circumstances presiding down at Ewood.

A few bad results/performances should not distract Rovers fans from the bigger but ugly picture that Berg inherited.

I'm backing the 'iceberg' in getting it right.

Arte et labore

The problem is there were never 10k stay aways, there are less than 5k of those staywaysI expect who will renew their ticket if reseults start going our way. The rest will only return when we get promoted (yeah dingles..WHEN) - and even then some at least will have pastures new and never return.

Far too many cries of "Kean Out - Fans In" but truth is that was ever going to be less than 3k or so supporters. The fans who have returned though, are 100% behind the new manager - amd we make enough noise for the lack of fairweather fans to hardly be an issue!

COYB!

Make the games up to xmas a tenner, then bring in a half season ticket at a reasonable price. The fans will then return in there thousands. This will show venky's are serious at trying to rebuild the club and makeup their differences with the fans.

Super Atko! job seeking? lol

Good point Accy Phil, I said I would return when Kean left and I did, however I had to pay FULL price for my ST with no discount for the already played games, this actually made it quite an expensive item, had I not wanted to retain my seat I would have waited for the half season ticket offer, also, as a man of my word I had to buy the ticket so as not to be hypocritical, not everyone is perhaps as lucky as me and cannot afford whay will currently amount to an expensive ST.
Rovers need to do more to attract the crowds back, currently they have made no effort at all.

If Berg pulls his weight and is honest and open, the fans will back him, not sure the owners will though, they have proved themselves to be complete idiots so far!!

Excited for a rovers match at ewood for the first time in two years. 100% support for Henning.

There will only be total unity when the Chicken Farmers sell up and leave Rovers. Its a Lancashire Club for Lancashire folk with Lancashire connections who have some affinity to this part of the world through service or otherwise.

" currently they have made no effort at all."
And neither have they made any effort to interact with the fans.......Talk about "all pull together" How about the Venkeys lead the way and make the effort to return the club to the "Family club" we were once were... Yes, they want our money so I 'd like to see THEM make the effort.

Should have bought a season ticket and got each game for 11 quid. They cant sell game tickets cheap if they want to sell STs

Personally I would be annoyed if they sold tickets for a tenner as like Accy Phil we bought our STs when Kean left as we had said we would and its cost us 30 quid more than usual and we had also missed games. I asked for the games missed to be discounted and they replied telling me that they have decided not to discount further as it would be unfair to those who opted for the early bird offer. They cant benefit those only buying matchday tickets over ST holders

Venkys have s hell of a lot of work to do restore supporter confidence after what they have done at Ewood. They have finally made a decent decision in bringing in Berg and their investment in Jordan Rhodes but the damage runs deep. We are all behind Berg but we still have massive reservations over the infrastructure and executive leadership at the club. If Venkys want to bring the supporters back they can start by reviewing Singh, Agnew and Shaw and their roles and are they capable of leading this club. Although we finally got a good manager the process was a fiasco and would never of happened under the leadership of John Williams. Singh,Agnew and Shaw are as popular with us as was Kean. We love our team and hope that Venkys do too and the best way they can prove that love is to support Berg and give us the executive infrastructure that can effectively run this club.

Ah all the thumbs down eh....Could this be the PR dept in action again. There are only 18 comments on here at this time and 11 thumbs down.

Come on lads if you don't agree with me just say so. No offence will be taken.

Was referring to my earlier post above.

Yes it might be unfair to some, but come on if you want fans back and unity, then Venky's make it attractive to the missing fans who didnt renew their season tickets because ov Kean. What great PR for a change.

Looks like most of your plastic fans have rooted out those old Man U tops from the drawer!

Hahaha!

Actually Shadsworth is on but a small reflection of Turdley.. It reminds us we could all be worse off.. We could live in Turdley.. Cheapest boarded up housing in Britain I believe.

Average terraced house less than 20k?

Of course it is.. Once the pride of the BNP?

Yup that's the one. Turdley will Always be second best to the mighty Blackburn and Rovers.

Btw, Shadsworth is IN Blackburn. The laughing stock near it is the third rate dump no-one wants to visit called Burnley. A little but of geography for you since your inbreeding obvious affects your basic motor skills.

Not everyone that reads the comments automatically puts one on themself. I'm pretty sure more than 18 people, regardless of their persuasion, have read this page.

And do you really think someone at the club trawls through these comments and just puts a tick or a cross after each one? Never mind eleven - that would be a right faff. And as if it means anything anyway.

Calm down gents, you're getting paranoid.

I was in there for the Wolves game and all I saw and heard near me were nutters with foul mouths slinging abuse at anything that moved including players, manager and stewards. One individual spent the whole game inciting others to 'tup' the stewards and hurling offensive insults about appearance which considering he was as ugly as sin was ironic. He had a simple minded girlfriend who looked on proudly at his every vile utterance. He was one of many who didn't watch 5 minutes of the game and put me off going back. I moved my ST. And you talk about the stewarding? I don't know how they keep their hands off some of those cretins

All I've got to say about Henning Berg is that for me, the jury's out.

As for Super Atko, I'm glad he's still in football.

Regarding Tim Sherwood, If his playing days are anything to go by, I'm glad he isn't manager as I found Mark Atkins' partnership with David Batty far more effective than Tim's.

Hi Whappen...
After the goings on at the club over the last two years, alleged dodgy agents, lies and broken promises from the owners, the comical and amateurish way the club has been run and the continuing absence and silence of the owners (almost two years now...Why?) I'm keeping an open mind.
Personally, I wouldn't put anything past them. I wouldn't trust them one iota.

HENNING BERG – WHAT A REFRESHING CHANGE
Henning Berg’s match comments following the 2-0 defeat to Crystal Palace, were music to my ears. At last a manager who tells it as it is.
“We played badly and did not deserve anything from the game” said Berg. “Our possession was poor and we did not keep the ball enough” Berg continued. “Our defensive play was disappointing, we allowed their attackers to much space and time”. “We have to work harder”.
Berg’s comments after the Huddersfield game were of a similar nature. Even the disappointment of Huddersfield’s late late equaliser in Tuesday’s draw brought a withering response from Berg. “We need to learn to keep possession of the ball to see a game out, if you give it away easily the opposition always have the opportunity to score”.
These are just a selection from new manager Henning Berg after his first two games in charge.
I believe anyone who watched the games will identify with Berg’s assessments.
If Steve Kean had still been in charge however the manager’s comments would have been much different. Kean would have gone into ‘spin’ mode. His summing up at Crystal Palace would have gone as follows. “we hit the woodwork twice and we were unlucky”. “Palace was awarded 2 dubious penalties”. “We did not get the luck our players deserved; we deserved something from the game”.
So on and so on – you can make up your own ‘ Keanism’s’.
The tragedy of Kean is that that eventually every player began to believe his unrealistic assessment of Rovers performance’s and began to think the world was against them.
Henning Berg will bring them back to reality, of that you can be certain.
Reg
Footnote:
It would be nice if a few hundred more Rovers fans could turn up on Saturday v Birmingham, to welcome Henning Berg back home. A crowd of 15,000 would be nice and in the right direction. But it will take time, wounds run deep for Rovers fans. They were ignored for too long over Kean by the clubs owners, and now stay away, simple as.
www.regoftherovers.c
o.uk

NO ONE KEEN ON KEAN
Since that glorious September day when Steve Kean, under pressure from Shebby Singh, walked out on Blackburn Rovers, quite a few manager positions have become vacant.
Amonsgst them – Bolton, Burnley, Crystal Palace, Blackpool, Ipswich, Hartlepool, Scunthorpe, and even the Scotland National team. And one or two others that escape me.
Countless names have been attached and mentioned fro all these vacancies, running into dozens and dozens of names. As the media and supporters speculated.
But the one name that has been noticeable by it’s absence is the now unemployable and discredited Steve Kean.
Not a peep, not a squeak, not a ‘dicky’ bird, not a whisper of Kean’s name by anyone. Not even his agent Jerome (the man who ruined Blackburn Rovers) Anderson.
I hope Mrs Anuradha Desai (pic above) will take note that she (allegedly on the advice of Jerome Anderson) was the only person in the world stupid enough to employ him.

He had a simple minded girlfriend who looked on proudly at his every vile utterance. He was one of many who didn't watch 5 minutes of the game and put me off going back. I moved my ST. And you talk about the stewarding? I don't know how they keep their hands off some of those cretins

You can be sure that if a steward did have a go at some of these cretins then the cretins would squeal like holy hell.
