It was on the cards, so let's just get on with it. Why the keep on appointing failiures is beyond me, but this guy has not produced an enternaing game in 15.

The finger needs to be pointed at the management now, as they KEEP on getting it wrong. But Bowyer in charge until the end of the season and give him the job if he does well. Otherwise, get someone in who will produce winning entertaining football. I love to win, but I cannot stomach any more of Appletons style and it is no longer a winning style anyway.

Excellent. Now please get an experienced manager!

Gary Bowyer as a short term fix to at least keep us up is the only option for me. No point bringing anyone else in as there is no chance of playoffs. We are playing to stay in the league now.

We can get someone in the summer when key rebuilding is required.

I pray for Mark Hughes. Instantly back up if he comes on board with back room team.

Good man chickenfarm you know the score.

I've been saying this for months

How these INGRATES mistreated the great man.

It won't be long before they go crawling back to SK begging for forgiveness.

14 points from his 7 games - where WOULD THEY BE OTHERWISE

Deep down you are scared now as Rovers will start to climb whilst your little club will either stay where it is or start to drop.....why are you so interested in this post anyway. They have a section for Dingles in case you were unaware.

I wasn't aware they segregated Burnley and Blackburn fans. Some kind of Lancashire aparthied is it ?

I'll level with you - I'm not a Dingle. I'm from London. But I have visited the area before.

What I don't understand is the massive rivalry between you two sets of fans.

You both seem exactly the same type of people to me.

Ahh, so you're a southerner taking a smug look at the intellectual depravity of the North West?

Also somebody who's so spectacularly short of things to do, that they repeatedly comment on articles about a club that they neither support, nor enjoy a rivalry with.

You sound like a thoroughly sophisticated, unemployed, socially isolated individual to me. Congratulations!

"suffered from the legacy left behind by Steve Kean"

Au contraire

Without Kean you'd be relegated again

Kean loved this club. He did everything he could for this club.And how did you repay him? With ungrateful comments like this??

Hang your heads in shame.

As I recall he couldn't deliver a single shot on target against Spurs, in a 'last chance to avoid relegation' game...

Appleton, nice guy as he is, was showing the consistency to take us down anyway. He was out of his depth and I think he knew it......hence all the excuses. He'll probably make a good manager for a lower league team.

Shebby has been sidelined for many weeks. Appletons results and style of play is responsible. Right decision, hope Venkys at last listen to fans and get experienced manager with good tactical nouse.

I don't know an awful lot about you, but I'll go out on a limb and assume that I'd rather be in mine. This assumption is based partly from an extrapolation from the fact your life has led you to comment on a regional newspaper article about a club that you're uninterested in, whereas I'm taking time out of my day to read the article because it's of genuine interest to me.

This guy is a hilarious individual who's having a chuckle at the expense of Rovers fans.

He's clearly deeply intelligent.

No I was just saying it's hard to distinguish between a Burnley fan and a Blackburn one

They look the same and sound the same. And live in pretty much the same place.

If you didn't see them in their teams' colours you'd never be able to tell who was who.

True, but the tide is on the turn, the hard to stomach 5-0's are long gone, celebrating a 1-1 draw against us is a yardstick to where your at....and worse is to come. Shame, but that's football. Been there, seen it & done it, that's why allow myself a wry smile at your expense.

Appleton, nice guy as he is, was showing the consistency to take us down anyway. He was out of his depth and I think he knew it......hence all the excuses. He'll probably make a good manager for a lower league team.

Bang on Harwoodsblue.

Just had a text from a poster on here alluding to the next manager ? He his a trusted poster so will be interesting ?

Experience, experience and more experience. Nothing less.

As for Skelbo .. at least you can converse in English .. BUT Theres been Blackburn fans wanting Appleton out and on here and the guy before. Even remember Blackburn fans calling for Big Sam to get the bullet before it happened.
Think you guys live in a 'parrellel universe where you still believe you are a Premier club... Amazing !
Point is .. Do you think Mourinho would be big enough for Ewood, or is it a bid to hijack Pep's move to Bayern ?

Joke town, Joke club, joke owners and an embarassment to Lancashire and India.

Bowyer must be stark staring mad if he takes the job on.

One final point. How many rupees did Crappleton walk away with ? Venkys must be made of money.

Embarrassment to Lancashire and India? You clown. What do you care about India? Your fans held racist banners up at our ground on Sunday. Get back to work or school or job club or picking your nose. You dingles keep posting the same set of phrases. You are all incapable of processing language and producing varied vocabulary. Be embarrassed about that.

I wasn't aware they segregated Burnley and Blackburn fans. Some kind of Lancashire aparthied is it ?

I'll level with you - I'm not a Dingle. I'm from London. But I have visited the area before.

What I don't understand is the massive rivalry between you two sets of fans.

You both seem exactly the same type of people to me.

Ahh, so you're a southerner taking a smug look at the intellectual depravity of the North West?

Also somebody who's so spectacularly short of things to do, that they repeatedly comment on articles about a club that they neither support, nor enjoy a rivalry with.

You sound like a thoroughly sophisticated, unemployed, socially isolated individual to me. Congratulations!

I live in Colchester and I saw Portsmouth play here when Appleton was in charge. He had offensive players in his team but was ncouraging his players to keep the ball by playing the ball back rather than look to penetrate a poor Colchester defence. The guy is clueless, he got the Blackpool job becasue nobody else wanted to work with the chairman and only got the Blackburn job as he is mates with Derek Shaw. He is an awful manager and I dont see why he is linked with other jobs all the time. As for Shebby and Venkys, you are lumbered I think but either Shebby or Derek Shaw has to go. Im afraid though that the job will now be unappealing to a top manager. As for the current squad, Appleton had a better squad than a lot of teams and results should have been far better. Good luck Blackburn and I hope you regret the day you booed Steve Kean!

BRING BACK JOHN WILLIAMS AT WHATEVER COST!

The writing was on the wall for him.
Unfortunately getting rid of most of our creative players has backfired big time.
The fact is that we have stopped scoring goals as much and rarely look able to create any decent openings. The team play ok from the back into midfeld. But we need someone who can help us work the ball better through from the midfeld to the attack. The movement in this department is unbelievably lacking by both th midfielders and the strikers. Jordan Rhodes looks like he is struggling as you can see he wants to move around more but had obviously been told to hold a central position up front.
This, coupled with a few players that I would not even gve contracts to in the division below is why we have and will continue to struggle.
Who will come in?? Nobody of any calibre cos they have no money to spend and cannot bring any players in til next season, so the writing would be on the wall for them also.
We just need to hope we get through this season without relgation.

You couldnt make this one up its absolutely priceless, i was looking forward to playing you again next season, looks like i will have to wait a couple of years until you get out of Division One.

No we dont regret seeing the back of Steve Kean. You claim you are interested in football yet you champion a backstabber, confessed liar, somebody who took a midtable premier league team to relegation, who accused fans of crimes, who reduced the game experience to one where fans were body searched and voices drowned out with music, who manipulated himself and his wife into a personal friendship with the owner to protect his job? Are you really a football fan? Would you welcome back a man who relegated your Spurs? Who barely won a game? Your view is welcome but dont presume you know more than we do. It's not your club.

Being realistic midfield without Murphy has been even poor. They will probably need to get Ruben back who offers something other players dont. Appletons legacy will be rovers 4 points away from 6th place when he took over and now 4 points above relegation when he leaves. Its a results business. His signings Rekik, Campbell have been poor.

If you are going to laugh at somebody, you need to at least spell correctly. 'work' not 'wirk'. Rovers aren't a laughing stock. Proper football fans analyse the situation in terms of the owners, not the fans. Only Burnley fans laugh but that's okay. We laughed at you on Sunday in the 95th minute. It was hilarious. Still makes me smile.

This whole situation is getting more and more out of hand. I've been living in the Caribbean so haven't seen rovers play too much this season, so when I saw us beat Arsenal last month I was surprised to see an organised team playing good defence. The problem with MA is that one month later when watching us play the quarter final at Millwall he was using the same futile tactics. The tactics against Arsenal worked because you can hardly play expansive technical football against a team full of technically superior players, so keeping it tight and hoping you get a lucky goal ( and CKR's goal was exactly that, a scuffed shot of the post). MA decided that was the way to win games and the brand of football that developed over the last month was disgraceful and Im pleased he's been sacked.

The biggest problem for me this season hasn't been the sackings, its been the bizarre appointments. A six week search yielded Henning Berg a man with little experience and then after that MA a man with a distinctly average record in the lower leagues.

It's just sad to imagine who they could have appointed, for example back when they sacked Sam Allardyce we could easily have picked up Brendon Rogers from an impressive Swansea then in the Championship, he was developing a good brand of football similar to what the Venkys said they wanted. Also less then two weeks after Appleton was appointed Nigel Adkins became available, and again he would have been a perfect fit.

So please after running this club disastrously for two and a bit years can the people in charge make the right appointment and also step aside and let someone else run the club properly.

I think Nigel Adkins has a little more self respect than even applying for this job. No manager worth their salt will apply for this job while Venkys have control.
You couldnt make this one up its absolutely priceless, i was looking forward to playing you again next season, looks like i will have to wait a couple of years until you get out of Division One.
The panic has set in, and when Paul Ince comes back to Deadwood next week and beats you it will go from panic to mass hysteria.

The only thing you look forward to playing with is your sister!

Appleton, nice guy as he is, was showing the consistency to take us down anyway. He was out of his depth and I think he knew it......hence all the excuses. He'll probably make a good manager for a lower league team.

Im sorry vintage claret but if you expect us to feel sorry for MA and his team because they are out of work you really dont have very much perspective. He dumped a club to take a job at another club on more money. He knew the situation, they all do. It's their informed decision. They won't be hard up to put food on the table. Meanwhile two of my family members haven't got jobs neither did they get a severance package or redundancy. They are struggling to put food on the table. Your comments are pretty offensive actually. You talk about attendances but the same can be applied to your own club. No turn out except for a Rovers game. Best to stick to your original decision and not post!

This whole situation is getting more and more out of hand. I've been living in the Caribbean so haven't seen rovers play too much this season, so when I saw us beat Arsenal last month I was surprised to see an organised team playing good defence. The problem with MA is that one month later when watching us play the quarter final at Millwall he was using the same futile tactics. The tactics against Arsenal worked because you can hardly play expansive technical football against a team full of technically superior players, so keeping it tight and hoping you get a lucky goal ( and CKR's goal was exactly that, a scuffed shot of the post). MA decided that was the way to win games and the brand of football that developed over the last month was disgraceful and Im pleased he's been sacked.

The biggest problem for me this season hasn't been the sackings, its been the bizarre appointments. A six week search yielded Henning Berg a man with little experience and then after that MA a man with a distinctly average record in the lower leagues.

It's just sad to imagine who they could have appointed, for example back when they sacked Sam Allardyce we could easily have picked up Brendon Rogers from an impressive Swansea then in the Championship, he was developing a good brand of football similar to what the Venkys said they wanted. Also less then two weeks after Appleton was appointed Nigel Adkins became available, and again he would have been a perfect fit.

So please after running this club disastrously for two and a bit years can the people in charge make the right appointment and also step aside and let someone else run the club properly.

I think the problems at Blackburn started with Jack Walker

Jack Walker lived in Jersey and he no doubt paid less tax there then he would have had he lived on the mainland.

He blew this extra cash funding his favourite football club. And after a little bit of glory what happened?

THIS!

You see, what he's accidentally done is give you lot ideas above your station.

Now you all seem think you DESERVE to have a good side. You don't. You deserve exactly what you've got. A succession of bald headed, clueless managers whose only skill is to tell lies and talk absolute sh*it.

You can't just BUY success long term. You have to earn it. Where do you lot get off thinking you deserve to be in the big League with the PROPER football clubs? You don't. You need to get real.

You're just a p.iss pot Northern barnacle of a town. And you're a set of MUGS.

It's the descent from glory to the current sh*it pot status that hurts you the most. And don't try to give it the big one about "34 years" because I can tell you're well gutted.

You see - none of this misery would have happened if Jack had paid his tax. In a way, the reason you are suffering today is because of Jack Walker.

But I can see WHY he went to Jersey I suppose. Who'd want to stay anywhere near Blackburn?

Maybe the agenda is to run rovers into the ground then open the northwest's largest free range chicken farm. Got iceland , aldi and maccy d next door so no prob's selling the poultry....!

Or alternatively how about blackburn's' first open-air mosque.

Except they're not Muslims you absolute cretin. You see, this is the level of intelligence of you toss pots.

All this is Jack Walker's fault. He ruined you.

Shut it Dingle!!!! Deep down you are scared now as Rovers will start to climb whilst your little club will either stay where it is or start to drop.....why are you so interested in this post anyway. They have a section for Dingles in case you were unaware.

I wasn't aware they segregated Burnley and Blackburn fans. Some kind of Lancashire aparthied is it ? I'll level with you - I'm not a Dingle. I'm from London. But I have visited the area before. What I don't understand is the massive rivalry between you two sets of fans. You both seem exactly the same type of people to me.

Ask Millwall and Chelsea Fans this question?
The truth is all Burnley fans seem more interested in what is happenning at Ewood than at Burnley.

Sorry for thinking you were a dingle, being called a dingle when your not is unforgivable.

Well the plot thickens , apparently Singh went to see a top notch corporate lawyer along with his chum Hendry to see if he was legally entitled to sack Appleton , irrespective that he never hired him , as far as Singh`s contract goes he has the right to sack any manager , so consequently instead of meeting with and telling Appleton personally he sent him a letter (handed to him by the office girl) telling him he was sacked ,that was the treatment of all Appleton`s people he brought to the club ,they all got the same treatment ,is this how we treat our employees/ex employees disgraceful behaviour ,these are honourable men that have lost their jobs .

No doubt Singh will appoint the next manager and we will get more tit for tat.
But why is Singh here in Lancashire ?

Singh why don`t you go back to your own country , the place that play a kiddie level of football , any one know anything about just ONE Malaysian football team ,go home and take your new mate that swindling Scottish look a like "Macbeth" witch with you.
