Blackburn Rovers sack manager Henning Berg
10:04am Thursday 27th December 2012 in Sport
BLACKBURN Rovers have this morning sacked manager Henning Berg.
Rovers were beaten 1-0 at Middlesbrough yesterday and the club have now released a statement confirming that Berg has departed along with backroom staff Eric Black, Iain Brunskill and Bobby Mimms.
Rovers' are unlikely to have a manager in place before Saturday's trip to Barnsley but are expected to appoint two coaches imminently.
The statement said: "Blackburn Rovers FC has announced the departure of manager Henning Berg, assistant manager Eric Black, first team coach Iain Brunskill and goalkeeping coach Bobby Mimms with immediate effect.
"This decision has been taken following a very disappointing sequence of results.
"The club thanks the four men for their efforts and wishes them every success for the future."
Venky's director Balaji Rao was quoted in The Times of India as saying: "We have not been doing well and dropping points and losing matches quite often. I want to go up."
Meanwhile, Rovers Action Group secretary Mark Fish admitted his "great delight" at the decision to let Berg go.
"He was a fantastic player for the club, but for whatever reason it just didn't work out for him here," he told Sky Sports News.
"It's difficult to say what. Perhaps the expectations from the fans, outside influences maybe. Henning Berg just didn't have the nous to get the job done? I don't know."
- Should Berg have been sacked? Who should be the new manager? Have your say below.

I dont understand why Kean was sacked when you were 2nd in league. Sometimes as fans we dont like some manager. But it was clear that players were playing for Kean. So why on earth would you protest when things were goin fine. I heard from by brfc ate that Kean played bad football or was ridiculous in tactics. But point is, you had the momentum
I hope whoever you get you support them and get the team going.
Seems Driscoll was sacked yesterday by Forest, another ridiculous decision. May be you should go for him.

It is simply not acceptable and they sacked him at the right time, unlike with Kean who they inexplicably kept on despite the fact he had alienated the fans and was responsible for us getting relegated.
-
The Venkys need to now wake up and bring in a experienced manager. They need to stop the rot, including in future not just selling off our best players because it brings money in.
-
I also need to know why Colin Hendry and Shebby Singh are still at the club. Both have proven to be as great a failures as Henning and the backroom staff have been.
-
Hopefully with a professional experienced manager and decent backroom staff our players will actually be fit to play for 90 minutes and not be out on their feet after 60 minutes, as was the case for the last 2 years. One can only hope.

People should only judge Rovers fans when they have been through what we have had to endure since the Walker family turned there back us.

In less than 18 months he had just destroyed a capable Premiership side built by the likes of Hughes,Allardyce etc.
He had 3 or 4 lucky wins early this season but all Rovers fans knew at that time that we were in a false position as our performances were very, very poor.
Anyway, this is a bit rich coming from a Spurs fan whose club sacked Harry Redknapp.

No club can be managed by a penguin standing on the sidelines looking as if he won't move an inch until spring and that's how you came across. There can only be one man now and that's Mark Hughes. Funnily enough, if he hadn't left when he did, both Hughes and Bellamy would have won trophies by now. So come on down, Mark... the price is now right.

He created the bad blood at the club with his bad attitude and comments. Fans were protesting and staying away in there thousands because of the Venkys decision to keep him as manager in the face of appalling performances in which the players clearly were not fit and the poor results that led to relegation.

The Venkys ineptitude in not relieving Kean of his duties also in part added to the hatred felt towards him, as it showed his contempt for the fans by not resigning and doing the decent thing for the fans.
I think that summarizes it. Do not believe what the scottish mafia of ex pro's says about him in future.

Let's just hope that we have someone lined up - given that most of the backroom staff have also gone, I'm just hoping that we have and they have demanded they bring their own men in. If this isn't the case, then this may be the final nail......

Failure to do this will definately see League one football at Ewood next year with 4000 Season ticket holders and 8000 gates. This is last chance saloon and they will have to do some selling of the Club to pursuade a manager to come. Venky's football future will depend on this. Another cobbled attempt to manage this club will result in catastrophe. Don't be surprised if Shebby takes temporary charge.

Suggestions of Coyle, Hughes etc are so deluded. Nobody will apply and we will end up with Shebby which is what he wanted all along.
A sad day. Berg is a decent and honourable man, who will always be a legend as a player at Blackburn Rovers - probably the best defender we ever saw at this club. At times the performances have been good under his management, but the results have unfortunately not been good enough. I think it's a bit unfair to judge him so early, given that he was left with a midfield that would struggle to challenge in the second division, a goalkeeper that's at least two stone overweight, and a defence whose 'star' player has been relegated for the last two seasons and is doing everything in his power to make it a hattrick. Good luck for the future Henning. You're probably best out of this asylum.

The only hope is that such as Hughes will insist on a water tight contract which gives guarantees of money, freedom to manage ALL the football side and certain time frames.

That said, the way that they've got rid of the lot suggests that there is a plan!!

So why on earth would you protest when things were goin fine. I heard from by brfc ate that Kean played bad football or was ridiculous in tactics. But point is, you had the momentum
I hope whoever you get you support them and get the team going.
Seems Driscoll was sacked yesterday by Forest, another ridiculous decision. May be you should go for him.
May be I shouldn't have commented here.
My point had nothing to do with Kean. Whether it was Kean or Allardyce or Hughes or Dallish, why on earth would you protest when team is doing fine.
Let's say that Lebanese owners took over Spurs, sacked Harry after finishing 4th and appointed Tony Adams as manager. Then because he didn't like the board of directors, M Adams took a trip to Lebanon and complained to the matriarch. All your best players leave, the fabric of the club is ruined and lo and behold, Spurs are in the Championship.
The fans protest but they're ignored. Spurs are top of the Championship by some lucky victories....would you welome Mr Adams...no!
Kean and the Venkys have destroyed our club and ruined our football supporting lives

Feel sorry for berg as the team he inherited was low on confidence, form and fitness. Right decision though as out of his depth.
Venkys spend some bucks on a good experienced manager but avoid Alex McLeish at all costs as he is not a nice person and is consistant at relegating teams..

Yet another sad day in the history of Blackburn Rovers under the Venkys dynasty. I feel for Berg because he never had a chance with this setup but he has to take some responsibility for failing to follow his own advice about the job. Shebby obviously believes that Berg, Black, Mimms and others have let him down and failed to repay the faith he has shown in them. They, and they alone are responsible. So now do we see Singh as interim manager or will the club put an announcement out asking anyone going to the next game if they fancy taking charge. Many people on here speculate that because the manager and coaching staff have gone that there is a full management and coaching team are ready to step in but Singh doesn't do logical and sequential, he doesn't have a plan B. A very sad day in our history and again yet another benchmark to show how far we have fallen under Venkys

No experienced manager with half a brain cell would accept a position with Venky's in charge, so whilst they remain the owners I expect another 'disappointing' appointment that will further infuriate the fans, demoralise the players and make a mockery of the Venky's 'grand' plans (remember our efforts to get Ronaldinho?!).
Venky's out; experienced manager in; set out a realistic period required for rebuilding, meaning that promotion this year may be too soon. Having said that, I really fear for the financial implications for the club if we stay in this division and how much of the Venky's business model is dependent on immediate promotion.

Who knows, the appointment needs to be made quickly but also needs to be the right one. Apparently the new manager is expected to be announced shortly (not today).
Suggestion wise, if this was 5 months ago, i'd of said Larsson/Solksjaer/Tu
gay however because we're in this position, I'd suggest someone with Championship experience. Not McLeish.
Maybe Roberto DiMatteo? Probably unrealistic, but he got West Brom promoted to the PL so he knows how to get a team promoted. He also knows how to get the best out of players. I don't think that Blackburn is the kind of place for him though. He'd be the person i'd choose if it could happen.

I support Rovers but I am from Kent originally and will reply to you with more courtesey than some on here.
Steve Kean did get a few good results just before he was sacked, but the results were achieved more by luck than judgement. The team were in fact playing badly and there was no real improvement, especially in defence. Added to which, the guy had got the club relegated, and should have resigned last May.He appeared to have too much of a close relaionship with the owners in India. His attitude to the fans left a lot to be desired and he had lost the respect of the crowd and maybe the dressing room as well. Anyway, why did Spurs sack Harry when the were in the top 5? That was the daftest thing I ever heard

Mark Hughes would not be the answer. This is not 2004 anymore. He inherited a good team with stability. His recent performances don't give him a nice CV either. I'm not completely writing him off, but if his recent managerial experiences are anything to go by, he's not the man.

Shabby is the most outspoken cricket fanatic ever to have control of his second favourite football club, and probably can't wait for someone to put his name forward to take control.
The club has sunk to new depths with these bandits. Some loudmouths have got what they wanted, total instability at the club, these lowlifes spent an age pretending to look for the perfect Manager, they are making it up as they go along, and some think they are doing the right thing. Whoever is left now deserves what they have got, they are going down together in the cespool they have created.

He bought warnock, samba, Nelsen and ooijer in who were widely regarded as one of the best back lines in the country and for less than we paid for scott dann, he signed Bentley, Bellamy and McCarthy, basically the team that took us to the latter stages of a European competition, winning the group along the way and qualifying again the following season as well as finishing easily in the top half of the premier league.
Mark Hughes would not be the answer. This is not 2004 anymore. He inherited a good team with stability. His recent performances don't give him a nice CV either. I'm not completely writing him off, but if his recent managerial experiences are anything to go by, he's not the man.
However, it's known that Hughes likes to bring his staff with him wherever he goes. So, could the axing of the Mimms, Black and Brunskill be paving the way for Hughes' staff?
Who knows, the appointment needs to be made quickly but also needs to be the right one. Apparently the new manager is expected to be announced shortly (not today).
Suggestion wise, if this was 5 months ago, i'd of said Larsson/Solksjaer/Tu
gay however because we're in this position, I'd suggest someone with Championship experience. Not McLeish.
Maybe Roberto DiMatteo? Probably unrealistic, but he got West Brom promoted to the PL so he knows how to get a team promoted. He also knows how to get the best out of players. I don't think that Blackburn is the kind of place for him though. He'd be the person i'd choose if it could happen.

One thing is for sure, NO manager with one ounce of self esteem would take the job and be answerable to the likes of Singh or Desai. Only the desperate will consider it.
So, you got rid of Kean and Berg and Hughes seems to be your preferred choice. To be honest it makes no difference who your manager is as long as Venkys and Singh are in charge.
Personally I hope that nice Mr Hendry gets the pleasure of overseeing your relegation. He is exactly what you fans and The LET deserve.

Steve Kean did get a few good results just before he was sacked, but the results were achieved more by luck than judgement. The team were in fact playing badly and there was no real improvement, especially in defence. Added to which, the guy had got the club relegated, and should have resigned last May.He appeared to have too much of a close relaionship with the owners in India. His attitude to the fans left a lot to be desired and he had lost the respect of the crowd and maybe the dressing room as well. Anyway, why did Spurs sack Harry when the were in the top 5?

The real issue is whether or not such as Hughes would take the job... You would seriously have to be desperate to work for Venkys, wouldn't you.

The only hope is that such as Hughes will insist on a water tight contract which gives guarantees of money, freedom to manage ALL the football side and certain time frames.

It really is a nightmare, just when you think it cannot get worse, it does.
Sad that Radio Lancs, which has played a good hand in the sorry saga, gave Shabby a platform for establishing his credentials by commenting on the Boro game. He had a fluency in the cliches of the game and I was left with the impression of a talented parrott which can repeat a string of words without a clue what any of them meant.

I remember a female fan of your's saying when Keane got the sack that it was the best day of her life.
I think as someone said if Keane was going to get the sack it should have been last season, but he had a good start this season the players were behind him an d I think the fans would have come round.
L1 next season I think and then who will the so called fans blame.

So why on earth would you protest when things were goin fine. I heard from by brfc ate that Kean played bad football or was ridiculous in tactics. But point is, you had the momentum
I hope whoever you get you support them and get the team going.
Seems Driscoll was sacked yesterday by Forest, another ridiculous decision. May be you should go for him.

That the club have already approached Kevin McDonald !
Who you might ask?
Another man with virtually no experience as a manager
He was a coach at Villa but is no longer in work
He fits the venky criteria perfectly, so I am very worried it could be true

Once again the dreamers are making up their wish list. But as ever, it's the accountants in Pune who will decide and once again Venkys will go for the cheapo option which means someone alrady in place or out of work now on a temporary contract to try to turn it round and get into the play-off places as a last ditch before Venkys hop it- McLeish fits that bill. Ignore the PR nonsense about in it for the long haul. Venkys have to make it back to the money mill of the Premiership, if we don't then they'll cut their losses and go. In a way, the best long term solution is for Rovers to survive in the Championship, and that will take some hard work, and build again for a push next season without Venkys and Shabby. The nightmare scenario is Hendry and Shabby, don't rule that out. Venkys will release a bit of readies in January and a lot of hot air about "push for promotion". It really is a nightmare, just when you think it cannot get worse, it does. Sad that Radio Lancs, which has played a good hand in the sorry saga, gave Shabby a platform for establishing his credentials by commenting on the Boro game. He had a fluency in the cliches of the game and I was left with the impression of a talented parrott which can repeat a string of words without a clue what any of them meant.
Once again the Venky's have again proved their disgusting behaviour ..The Club is in turmoil.....The 'dreamers' will continue to 'wish ' for established names however, all will be in vain as no one will work for those ignorsant arrogant bast**ds....
Wonder if this paper have the guts to talk to the individuals who make up the 'Walker Trust ' who betrayed the Rovers to the Maniacs in India

And how has Hendry avoided the swinging axe when he is a million times worse than these four, both as a ‘coach’ and a person?
Shebby, please go back to football punditry in Malaysia before you cause yourself – and us – any further embarrassment and damage.
If Shebby won’t go voluntarily, Venky’s, please show him the door. Then ask Shaw, Agnew and Hendry to follow him out.
Follow that by asking John Williams to name his own price to come back. Admit your mistakes, tell the football world you accept you have mismanaged every aspect of owning a football club – and let’s start again. If John cannot face it, try Tom Finn.
If you fail with both, Venky’s, it’s curtains.

WHY is Shabby not sacked?
I feel sorry for Henning as I did want him to do well at Rovers - I wished him well when I met him after the Palace game and shook his hand, too.
Our beloved Rovers has been in great shambles since the Venky's took over and they are making us look like a circus rather than a football club!

Just like I'm sure you wouldn't expect a Rovers fan to understand the ins and outs of Redknapp's departure, your understanding of Kean's tenure is clearly limited.
Do you think the fact that he took us down to the championship in the first place had anything to do with it?
How about the constant and complete ignorance towards any and all shortcomings of the team's performance, win lose or draw?
Or the fact that he had more 4 transfer windows to bring in players which could have strengthened the areas we desperately needed to improve on, yet brought in the likes of Bradley Orr, Danny Murphy, Dickson Etuhu, David Goodwillie, Myles Anderson and Martin Ollsson's twin brother (not to mention labelling every other new signing 'the new Rooney' / 'Dennis Irwin' / 'Batistuta' / 'Gattuso' / 'Chris Smalling')
Spurs fan, you haven't launched a tyrade of abuse, so I don't think you deserve one back. Your question however is very representative of the views other fans - who are ill-informed about the Kean saga - seem to have.
The top and bottom is that Steve Kean made elementary mistakes as a manager from the day he was employed. Without question, we would still be in the PL had a proper manager been in charge. He had lost the majority of the fanbase through his own refusal to acknowledge poor performances and glaring issues, could never get a team to defend and generally living on another planet to the one where the football matches were being played.
The mistake the owners made - and hence why you may have formed the opinion that he was doing fine before he was forced out - was that they didn't sack him as soon as we were relegated.

White Hart Lane - Spurs-v-Rovers.
Please remind us, under Mr Keans tactics during the game, how many shots did Rovers have on target?
The answer you will find is NONE!!
Now please show me another manager within the top 2 divisions who has gone to Spurs or any other club and played those tactics while threatened with relegation?
The figures lied and you cannot defend the charlatan as being anything other than a opportunist who has used the situation to become comfortable as there was never any other way he was going to achieve the same as a manager of a club with owners interested in their investment.

I have to say the decision to sack Mimms doesn't make total sense to me, especially if Hendry is still in a job. Who is the most responsible after HB for the shocking state of our defence if not Hendry? And why bring in new coaches before a new manager? Doesn't that defeat the point of the clear out in the first place, being that another manager will come in to work under staff which aren't his own?
This could still continue to go horribly wrong but get the right manager and who knows.

Unfortunately, Venkys tried to mend something that most definitely wasn't broken and we are where we are now.

Without a doubt the right decision has been made. I'm very glad that Venkys have removed him before the rot gets even worse but I also do feel sorry for him. An honest guy who should be remembered as a good player not a bad manager but the decision was completely the right one. 1 win in 10 is an appalling record even in the PL, in the Championship its unforgivable and therefore it's right that Venkys send the message to players, staff, potential managers and fans that they won't tolerate that level of failure. The move to sack him so soon gives me hope that they're actually learning some lessons now and are finally going to appoint someone with proper managerial credentials.

The whole fiasco begins with the Walker Trust being prepared to sell to what as now become globally known as a farce with the current owners Venky, and becoming worse on a daily basis.
Personally, I will never forget what this TRUST as done in helping to blight the name of BRFC and for shatting all over the memory of the late J Walker.
It's rotten and stinking to the core, and if this is how they conduct their business for a few dollars more at the cost, of this, our football club - then they can suck it and see as far as I'm concerned.
Hand this club back over to the fans and go into facking administration and let us start over. Our history is there for all to see - never to be removed, but with these cowardly, naive b'stards running the show a dark passage will forever be ingrained into our club.
As for that scurrilous little odious one he can rot as far as I'm concerned along with the Walker Trust(and I use that term lightly)
Rotten conniving stinking b'stards the lot of them.

And can you seriously think that Mark Hughes would tolerate an imbecile like Shebby sticking his oar in? I can't.

White Hart Lane - Spurs-v-Rovers.
Please remind us, under Mr Keans tactics during the game, how many shots did Rovers have on target?
The answer you will find is NONE!!
Now please show me another manager within the top 2 divisions who has gone to Spurs or any other club and played those tactics while threatened with relegation?
The figures lied and you cannot defend the charlatan as being anything other than a opportunist who has used the situation to become comfortable as there was never any other way he was going to achieve the same as a manager of a club with owners interested in their investment.

I'm not a Rovers fan, but I follow this sad decline of a great club. You know the feeling - like a car crash on the M6, you just cant help looking as you go past.
Other fans should follow this because we should learn from it - how not to do it - how our club can avoid disaster. Also we can give our support even if we don't directly support BRFC. If it can happen to you it can happen to us, so that 's why it's important to football as a whole. That's why the gibberings of some Burnley folk are worthless.

Shabbys contribution????? Is he the next manager?
So ignoring 2 years of **** people who admit to knowing nothing about football sack another manager and leave in charge someone who uses soundbites to appear knowledgeable who took 6 weeks to appoint a manager with no managerial experience in England on a 3 year contract worth £millions and sack him after 10 games to leave us with no manager at a crucial time just before the transfer window opens and sack 3 coaches and prepare to bring in 2 new coaches who the next manager may not want because he wants to bring in his own coaches......
Next the incurable optimists will come on telling me to give venkys more time/bring back kean/keep going to ewood to give the vekys more money and legitimise them whilst being abused by stewards because I dare to utter my thoughts about this farce and destruction of a previously well run PREMIER LEAGUE CLUB

The Venkys should not only be looking at the playing staff but should also be setting their stall out to clear these idiots from the Club and bring in a fresh Board of Directors who can set the ground rules / business plan for the future because these idiots cant!!!

Alan Curbishley has a great record or as a second choice Mark Hughes, but he has no experience at this level and his record is poor since leaving Rovers.
Don't think either would want to come here now, but they are both available and might be tempted knowing they could bring their own back room staff in with them.
Or poach someone like Neil warnock.

Run a football club? They couldn't run a bloody bath!!! and as for the Court Jester - Singh, words fail me. Venkys were bang out of order by giving Kean 2 years reign in which he single handedly destroyed the same side that Big Sam kept us in the top half of the Premiership with. They sat back and watched him take us down to the Championship and the only thing that they ever did was heap praise on him. When they did finaly see the light it was too late as far too much damage had been done. They brought in Berg who by the way wasn't the best candidiate but was a name who the majority of the fans could relate to plus it was said that he 'knew the club'. *Correction* - he knew the club back in the 90's but todays club was totally unrecognisable from that era and after what he had previously said of the owners and their style of management / ownership I for one was amazed when he was appointed as manager and on that point alone I hold Berg accountable for his own demise! As for a new decent manager, dont hold your breath folks!!

However, I married a a Lancashire lady and moved to this county.

His sister wasn't lying either. He does know alot about football - compared to her or a wheelie bin....
Someone needs to explain to him we didn't sign Ronaldinho after all and things have got so outrageously bad there are clubs no ones ever heard of such as Bonleh and Bonleh who are above us in the league.

On the manager i think the choice should be Mark Robbins who is managing Coventry City he has turned a club around who is being run nearly as badly. He has got them playing good football and turned the club around and he has done well . he also doesnt take interference from the board.
Rovers need a hungry manager and i think Mark Robbins is the man i do not think we should go back to Mark Hughes . He is managed by Kia Joorabchian now do Rovers want the likes of him i personally do not and think we need a hungry young manager i think Mark Robbins fills the bill.

I can't see Hughes coming and agreeing to work under the Venkys & Shabby Minge, he will want top dollar and the big contract and transfer kitty to match.
Yet another embarrassing chapter on our club. Until we get rid of the Venkys and shabby minge, things won't get much better soon.

There's a whole load of rumours flying around, mostly from twitter - and I suspect deliberately to wind up fans from those sad cretins who have no lives. I'd ignore them.
As far as anyone knows, neither the appointment of McDonald as coach or Shebby taking over or any appointments have been announced by Venky's. Its mostly twitter gossip by twits (or should that be tw@ts?).
Times of India are not a very credible source for rumours. If I recollect they also reprinted ESPN's "scoop" that Redknapp had shown interest last time around? Fat lot of truth that turned out to be.
I'd just switch off the rumours until Andy prints it here - at least its more likely to be an official statement.

So Berg has gone.Do we really want Hughes back.He's done nothing at MCFC,Fulham or QPR.
We need to get rid of Shebby and Hendry as well.
Whoever comes in will need to use the january window wisely..that's if we get someone in by then.The owners need to get some b*ll**ks and quickly and sort out the mess they've gotten us in to.

Mark Hughes would not be the answer. This is not 2004 anymore. He inherited a good team with stability. His recent performances don't give him a nice CV either. I'm not completely writing him off, but if his recent managerial experiences are anything to go by, he's not the man. However, it's known that Hughes likes to bring his staff with him wherever he goes. So, could the axing of the Mimms, Black and Brunskill be paving the way for Hughes' staff? Who knows, the appointment needs to be made quickly but also needs to be the right one. Apparently the new manager is expected to be announced shortly (not today). Suggestion wise, if this was 5 months ago, i'd of said Larsson/Solksjaer/Tu gay however because we're in this position, I'd suggest someone with Championship experience. Not McLeish. Maybe Roberto DiMatteo? Probably unrealistic, but he got West Brom promoted to the PL so he knows how to get a team promoted. He also knows how to get the best out of players. I don't think that Blackburn is the kind of place for him though. He'd be the person i'd choose if it could happen.
Souness had done magnificently but he had gone past his sell by date. It happens. All this rubbish about keeping a manager for all eternity automatically means they will be successful is absolute bo!!ocks. We couldn't score and were conceding bucket loads - not a great combination. As well as he had done (and he had done very, very well), his time was coming to an end; in truth, Newcastle did us a favour.
Hughes was outstanding at Blackburn and didn't do too badly at Fulham; quite well I would say. It just seems he gets a bit giddy when there's a lot of cash flying around. His stock has fallen but I doubt very much he would want to leave what's left of his reputation in the hands of these idiots. Similarly someone like OGS wouldn't touch the job with a barge pole for the damage it could do to him starting out in management.
Frankly, I have no idea who it will be. I can't think of anyone worth their salt who would want to work for these "people" and those who would must be so desperate for a job we wouldn't really want them. It's a kind of Catch 22.
Singh to take temporary charge then be announced permanent manager - sound familiar? I apologise if that makes any of you wake up in a cold sweat in the middle of the night but we simply can't discount any hair brained, half a$$ed masterplan emerging from the 500 vehicle car crash pretending to be Blackburn Rovers.
Be afraid, be very afraid.

I dont understand why Kean was sacked when you were 2nd in league. Sometimes as fans we dont like some manager. But it was clear that players were playing for Kean. So why on earth would you protest when things were goin fine. I heard from by brfc ate that Kean played bad football or was ridiculous in tactics. But point is, you had the momentum
I hope whoever you get you support them and get the team going.
Seems Driscoll was sacked yesterday by Forest, another ridiculous decision. May be you should go for him.
Rovers fans are the best in the World and fans from other clubs don't know what has happened and should clear off.
Lets now get an experienced manager in who can instil some confidence.
The atmosphere at the club has never recovered from those terrible examples of how not to support a football club, Chelsea, Bolton, West Brom, etc; etc.
Perhaps Glen Mullen should apply for the job next, he's well in with Shebby now so there shouldn't be any problems with interference should there?
10 quid now buys you exclusive membership rights to more spurious cr@p from the Trust that thinks its fit to run a club. These idiots couldn't organise a pee up in a brewery without infighting, politics, whatnot.
We've become a laughing stock because they couldn't help themselves and they're STILL at it. Venky's may have made collossal mistakes, but they are the only ones who can get us out of this mire - and they owe it to us, the legacy of Jack and the history of thr club they helped dismantle and themselves to make it right.
Venky's simply didn't have a bloody clue when they took over and in reality still don't, but what Mullen's mob did was totally unforgivable.
They gave visiting teams and fans the leg up that they needed to take home points away from my team, my club.
For that reason I hate them more than they hated Kean.
I have withdrawn my pledge, which was an awful lot more than £10 from BRSIT and although I agree in principle what they are attempting to achieve is right I won't have anything whatsoever to do with them while Mullen is involved.
And it sickened me to hear Mullen spouting off on 5 Live today, it really did.
It will take an hell of a lot of convincing for me to even consider going back to them while he and his cronies have anything at all to do with BRSIT.

I want Shebby out, I want Venky's out, but I am experienced and realistic enough to understand that if Venky's pull the plug it really is the end of the club I have supported all those years.
Putting myself in their position I would cut my losses and run.
And don't cut and paste quotes from someone else, at least have the decency to come up with original thoughts of your own, not some Godforsaken hack down south.
I go to every game, I have missed no more than 10 games in over 40 years and I have never, ever seen such deplorable behaviour from Rovers fans as I saw last season.
The players were affected and once our opponents went ahead the bile intensified and their heads went down.
I am not against fans venting their frustration at poor performances after a game, I am more than capable of doing that myself, but organised hatred lead by Mullen?
That my friend was totally unacceptable, it's you who needs to get a grip
