Black believes change needed to improve Rovers displays (From Lancashire Telegraph)

I don't want him to be a long term manager, but after 2 years of drivel from a certain cretin, this is quite refreshing.

Not sure how well he is managing Rhodes though, he's not looking at his strengths.

Couldn't have put it better myself

Change number 1 :

Get a decent manager in

Im surprised Andy Cryer hasn't gone for the managers job.

Black is talking a lot of sense we all knew how poor we were playing even though we were getting results and all Kean could do was take the plaudits for the position he found himself in although the praise came from the media and not from the fans.The stupid moron from the Mirror was on talk sport saying why Kean should be considered for the Scotland job because he left Blackburnon a high? I think that sums the media up a little knowledge
can lead to poor assumptions being formed.
Black may not be getting points but he is obviously attempting to change the team around but that in itself has alienated the fans because they are impatient and crave a return to the Premiership.

Is the loan market still open. If so presumably we could move to bring in another striker with the qualities EB has been banging on about over the last few weeks

This at least sounds like someone analysing the team/performances and trying to sort it.
It was clear that the team has played poorly all season despite fluky early results.
Very refreshing after all Kean's drivel.
Unfortunately for Black, just like 'get real' Dunn, after his support of Kean he's not exactly got a store of goodwill from which to buy the time needed to turn things round.
Once again it shows all those pundits/media types who was right about Kean.
Kean for Burnley.

I see Raddy Antic is being mentioned as a candidate for the managers job in the press this morning this list seems to be expanding !

We were a decent premier league team before the Venkys circus rode into town now we are an average championship side with clueless owners, useless management and coaching staff and unfit players. of coyrse things need to change !!!!

"We need to be more offensive".......the
n plays a load of defenders in midfield!!! You couldn't make it up!! OUT WITH BLACK AND HENDRY....NO TO SHERWOOD!!

Its good that he is thinking about things but sadly I cant relate what he says to whats happening? The need to be more offensive does not match up to the shape and nature of the performance v Wolves which was defensive from the word go?
I would also question EB,s knowledge of the traditions of the club he is managing. The best team in the years since 95 was the Souness team which played football pure and simple as did the great team of the early 60,s. Indeed until Big Sam arrived I had never associated Rovers with anything but good football.
Good luck to EB and to Rovers but I dont see the current set-up as being the answer to our prayers, experience/experienc
e/experience please!

Yes this bloody lot should be in Blackpool running the circus of clowns!!
OUT WITH BLACK HENDRY SINGH AGNEW SHAW VENKEYS

All this proves is that Eric reads the comments on here, sadly he's about a month behind.

When he catches up he will realise he needs to fix the midfield, not try to distract everybody by talking about Best, who's done nothing for Rovers yet. We have srtikers who can find the net, in Rhodes, Colin KR, Gomes, but the crap midfield can't supply them or protect our fragile defence, because they are not fit, organised or motivated.

I think you're being slightly unfair here. A 3-5-2 formation incorporates wing-backs, full-backs who can also attack up the wings. Our last two starting XIs have been identical with the exception of Kazim-Richards replacing Gomes against Wolves.

, (ST) Rhodes

In theory that's not a bad team, although I'd have swapped Orr for Bruno Ribeiro and Kazim-Richards for Rochina. Personally, I don't believe 3-5-2 is a great formation as you can end up playing 5-3-2 if you're put on the back foot for most of the game, as was the case against Wolves.

If we're going to play two up front then it needs to be 4-4-2, or 4-4-1-1 as long as the second striker isn't sat too far of the front man's shoulder. I actually think we have the right personnel to play 4-3-3. It's a great attacking formation but, more importantly, can revert to 4-5-1 if you're on the back foot. This is crucial as you still have a solid backline without leaving your midfield stretched and exposed to repeated attacks.I think you're being slightly unfair here.

As I've also pointed out in a previous post, some of the players seem to think that their place in the team isn't under threat. Bearing that in mind I'd like to see some of them dropped, if only to give them a kick up the backside. With that in mind my starting XI, in a 4-3-3, against Derby would be:

(GK) Sandomierski, (RB) Bruno Ribeiro, (CB) Henrique, (CB) Givet, (LB) Martin Olsson, (DM) Etuhu, (CM) Dunn, (AM) Rochina, (RW) Kazim-Richards, (ST) Rhodes, (LW) Nunes

I agree - in this one interview he's spoken more sense and truth than Kean did during his whole sorry reign.

Sorry, this was supposed to have quoted smellthecoffee's last post.

Why wasn't Black saying all this whilst toss pot was here? Had he not got the strength of character to say these things to him? What sort of a man can put up with so many wrong things without opening his mouth?. If he did and the clown ignored him, why didn't he resign? Not much of a man if you ask me, and certainly not one to consider for the top post.

Eric Black is part of the problem, not part of the solution. Shebby The Snake picks the team, not the manager or the interim, part time, assistant apprentice, trainee manager.
In Shebby The Snake's desperate, pathetic attempt to curry favour ( pardon the pun ) with the fans, I am surprised that he has not invited his cronies round to the Blus Bar again to pick the team for tomorrow by committe.

Shebby is doing a good job. After his arrival he has won his duel with Kean who had total control. Rhodes was a good signing and many fans thought it would'nt happen. All the best to Shebby in his mission to get rovers back to premiership.

This is the genius that played 7 defenders players in the home game against Wolves and complained about lack of presence up front, and that Jordan Rhodes was run into the ground! A Kean team would have collected all three points in that game probably 3-2 or 4-3.
-
Kean had to go, but this bafoon is not the answer either.

Message to Black for the Derby game.
You need to incorporate more naturally attacking players into your team, players who actually have the ability to retain possession, spot a pass and take shots at goal. The fact that Rochina cannot get a start in this league is absolutely unbelievable, the man tears up trees everytime he is brought on. Its a disgrace he cannot get a game, but ordinary Olssons and Lowe who are average defenders asked to play further forward get on the team sheet every week.
-
Be a bit braver and put some attacking players in the team. I think the team for the Wolves game only has Rhodes, Formica, Kazim and Murphy who are recognised midfielders or forward thinking players. And Murphy is so old now he doesnt even get forward!

If you play defenders, who are naturally defenders further forward, dont be surprised when they cannot retain possession or create chances further forward. Dont be surprised when you have no possession further forward and get outplayed and lose 1-0 everyweek or draw 1-1.
-
Black completely lacks any understanding of the word "balance" in the team and any understanding that you cannot just load your team with defenders and expect them to be solid. Unless you have attacking players at the other end who can do some damage.

It does give the impression that Black did not agree with Kean on many aspects,and one would have hoped he would have had a more forceful imput than just being a yes man.However we all know that kean was not a team player and dissenting voices went the same way as Jensen.
Maybe the appointment of Hendry was Kean trying to get rid of Black,contructive dismissal is the term often used.

Another week passes and we are still no nearer with an appointment ,we are now being linked to an ex Barcelona manager some sixty three years old,the Tony livesey comment of a statement of intent from Ewood in the next twenty four hours just more rubbish.

Nobody mentions VUCKEVIC a top central midfield player who is better than Murphy or any of our midfield. If we need to be more attacking then the likes of Rochina and the above must play . Good luck tomorrow boys

You've got him - win tomorrow and Black is your new manager. No one else wants you anyway.

"Black believes change needed to improve Rovers displays" - Well done that man for such penetrating insight!

"Rovers’ caretaker boss has attempted to radically alter things" - you mean tried to protect the awful defence by playing 5 defensive midfielders?

"This is a traditional football club where supporters want to see energy, competitiveness, shots on target, blocks, aggressiveness." - We do but we also want to see football. There was precious little against Wolves.

There's no confidence in the side and only a new manager will bring that. Black is just a Kean leftover now trying to make out he has his own ideas. He's laying a foundation of words, just like Kean did, to try and help Shebby and co justify his selection as manager when in a month or two they find nobody else wants the job.

BLACK OUT!

“This is a traditional football club where supporters want to see energy, competitiveness, shots on target, blocks, aggressiveness.

Unlike those non traditional football clubs were supporters do not want to see energy, competitiveness and shots on target. What king of crazy supporters wouldn't want to see any of these things though? Black must have learn't a bit from Kean in the bullsh*t department, he learn't from the master well.

I presume Black said all this to his boss Kean who told him to crawl back under the rock, keep quiet and cash the pay cheques.
Shabby doing a good job is he ? Well he outmanouvred Kean, that's true. But a global adviser who has not played, coached or managed 1 second of English football and is now overseeing the search for a new boss is part of the joke set-up that Rovers have become.
Former Real and Barca manager applying for Rovers job ? He must be really down on his uppers, most likely probably just another PR stunt.

Do you dingles ever give up? look at the league and see who is above you at all times???? I rest my case have a nice day and a defeated weekend

"It is a working class town and they want to see energy and aggressiveness." - How's that for a stereotype. We're just a bunch of numbskulls whose main pleasure is fighting and we probably haven't got a brain between us. Black's just reinforcing the media stereotypical image of a typical northern town.

Kean, Black, media tossers: you have obviously never noticed we know more about football than you ever knew. FOOTBALL! You know - that simple game where you control the ball, pass it to team mates, try to outwit the opposition with ball skills and intelligence, create chances by good wingplay and clever tactics, and shoot and head at that net thing whenever there's an opportunity. Yes, we need energy, enthusiasm and a will to win. But aggressiveness? That means fouls, dirty play, no respect for opposing players, no care about breaking legs and such like.

It's assertiveness we want. Asserting ourselves on the game with skill, strength, fair play, hard tackling, muscle, and no-nonsense football. Or perhaps you haven't noticed that? Perhaps you're too caught up with the ducking and diving, the nasty fouls, the laziness and cheating of the overpaid primadonnas? Top players like Shearer, Mike England, Ronnie Clayton, Bryan Douglas and other proper Rovers legends gave 100% and you will find they hardly ever committed fouls. They were very assertive but never aggressive. They respected their opponents and tried to match them toe to toe and get that edge over them by hard work and practice.

Blackburn Rovers fans have seen the finest footballers play at Ewood and we can see as clear as day when players are not good enough. No amount of bull*hit can cover up the fact that present day Rovers players need a helluva lot of work and training to get anywhere near the quality that discerning Rovers fans demand and expect.

3 weeks and no new manager so what does that tell us? Maybe this job is not that attractive to some

I should not be surprised with the results of the manager search, delayed tactics is the MO with Venky's and the end result will not be good

Brighten my outlook and win tomorrow and announce a new manager on Monday

Your comments are deeply offensive and insulting to Blackburn fans who have always appreciated great footballers and football.

Just to remind you (and not just quoting premiership players). Obviously you have done absolutely no research on our wonderful club.

Hang your head in shame for such a patronising comment which belittles such players as below;

Flowers / Jones etc
Le Saux / Bailey
Berg / Hird
Henchoz
Fazackerly
Clayton
Ripley
Wilcox
Douglas
Metcalfe / Tugay
Wagstaff
Sherwood
Shearer
Sutton
Newell
Field

and a great many more. Note no present players come anywhere close to each of the players mentioned. Says something about the past few years management that no present players come anywhere close

Please be gathering your things together in order to make a quick exit.

He is young, works for the FA, and his sole mission already is to get more asians in the game. So now we will have shaggy and comical Ali in charge.

I wonder if Eddie Howe would've abandoned Rovers like he did your 3rd world farm yard? Nah. Doubt it. Not even working under the chicken brigade could be as bad as Envy FC.

However, you're correct Mcdingle, If we win tomorrow (and we will 0-2 i think) that will give them the excuse they are waiting for. It's been coming a mile off. Black MUST know we don't want him, so will require have big b0llock5 or skin as thick as the dearly departed Steve 'what plane' Kean........

I don't believe for one minute,that Shebby would go for Junaid Ali.He'll know the consequences and does he really want to go back to square one? ie the boycotting of gamesNow come on Shebby,the natives are getting restless..

No **** Sherlock, talk about stating the bleeding obvious, Black sounds like a bigger clown than Kean, if that's at all possible.

Shebby- a nice wee pleasant enough Indian/Malay guy .
Most British chaps that were brought up in the football playing world/environment ,realise Shebby Singh has very very limited knowledge of the game,a man that is naive but ambitious, and been trusted to look after a football club ,that was part of the beginning of the world wide phenomona of what was called at the time "'association football".
If Shebby Singh had lived in England in his prime footballing years he would probably have been a reserve player for someone like Carshalton maybe a little better ,but he was/is the token local for Asian football channel,not to be taken serious..

Black- Coach ,good coach and probably a very good right hand man for a the right manager.

Hendry, was a good player,sadly a man with low morals and a dishonest person , low concentration level ,would be better suited getting a job job working for the local bookies.

The scary thing is in todays telegraph they say they want a younger manager and are ruling out shearer and Holloway. Hang on a minute, shearers only 44, how young do they want one? Looks like Junaid Ali will be the winner.
He is young, works for the FA, and his sole mission already is to get more asians in the game. So now we will have shaggy and comical Ali in charge.
And people said, be careful what you wish for. If this is true I would have sooner had Mick Bananman Mcarthy now we are going to get another fool playing fantasy football. the strong rumour is its a done deal. Hence why this nobody even appears in the betting at all. Has anyone even heard of him? 20 to 1!!! think I'll put £20 on him then at least I wont be as brassed off when he gets the job.

Totally agree. The only saving grace is that Kean was sacked (or forced to resign) ultimately on the low gates because of the boycotting. That means they may actually realise that if they don't get this colossal decision right the club will plummet to new depths. Singhs names on the line here, big time, so if he wants to prove his worth as a true footballing man he needs to make sure those football ignorant fools get it right from now on and put the 2 years of hell behind us.

I thinks it's fair to say that apart from this Ali person and Eric Black, all the names that have been mentioned in these last few weeks would all be given a fair crack of the whip by all Rovers fans given the Kean nightmare. Whether it's Holloway, Sherwood, McCarthy, Shearer, Billy Davies, Solskjaer, McLeish or any other realistic candidate, I think they would get full backing of the fans without doubt. Of course there'd be the odd moaner who still thinks we are Man Utd's rivals and expect Hiddink, Rijkaard or the likes to come but that's the norm.... Surely they can't f00k this up aswell? I'm not holding my breath.....

Get owners who own, admin mangers who do the admin, football managers who manage the players, and players that play , and I will return as as a seaon ticket holder. Anything less, and my money stays in the bank.

And I quote...

I believe the club needs an identity because of the type of people that are here.

John Williams and Co must be seething having devoted so much of his life to building one of the most identifiable clubs in the country as for big Jack I dread to think.

Anyone who truly knew the club would not even dare to suggest such a crass statement .

Black get your bags packed for an imminent departure. Your pal Hendry has obviously not passed on the core values of our club either. No issues there though cos his bags are packed already.

Black Your comments are deeply offensive and insulting to Blackburn fans who have always appreciated great footballers and football. Just to remind you (and not just quoting premiership players). Obviously you have done absolutely no research on our wonderful club. Hang your head in shame for such a patronising comment which belittles such players as below; Flowers / Jones etc Le Saux / Bailey Berg / Hird Henchoz Fazackerly Clayton Ripley Wilcox Douglas Metcalfe / Tugay Wagstaff Sherwood Shearer Sutton Newell Field and a great many more. Note no present players come anywhere close to each of the players mentioned. Says something about the past few years management that no present players come anywhere close Please be gathering your things together in order to make a quick exit.

Dont forget Gallagher, Flitcroft, Jansen & Peds

Stuart Metcalfe was a decent player but I think you,re pushing it a bit putting him in with Rovers all time greats !

Hi Peely

Stuart Metcalfe was a superb passer of the ball spreading and switching play superbly just what we could do with right now.

For goodness sake, how long are we going to have to wait for the clowns to
get us a decent manager. They are waiting for the result tomorrow and if we
win Black will be here to stay!!!! very sad for us Rovers fans.

Any one of those names mentioned would be better than the Fester years. I think Grayson could be a dark horse. Ex player, lower league experience and with the same kind of win ratio as Mcarthy and Holloway. Used to working with morons as he used to be at Leeds. I think he would be my number 2 choice behind Solskjar but I don't think he would come, having nearly qualified for europe again.

Obviously the real reason, sad but true, is he is a Premier League Glory Hunter. I said there were some and now the excuses are rolling out.

15 days and no manager. No surprise there then. Bunch of complete clueless idiots

Change is started, but the games must win too.

We want to win means , we have to play with balanced team.

I feel we should play 4-3-3, Robbo,Ollson,Givet,D
ann,Lowe, Dunn,Murphy,Enthu,Ro
china,Rhodes,Kazim
Sub:Kean, Gomes,Rabiro,Formica
,Pedersen,Orr,Henriq

Until the chicken pluckers get somebody tangible in charge, my money stays in my pocket! I'm a rovers fan and will always will be!

Meanwhile at Ewood Rover’s Global Advisor, Shaggy Singe, enters the boardroom. The room is littered with the remnants of Shaw trying to design a new paper plane whilst Agnew is sitting with his feet up on the table reading Whizzer and Chips and demolishing a plate of prawn buttys. On seeing Shaggy, Agnew attempts to scramble to his feet but in the process knocks over his glass of Dandelion and Burdock spilling the contents all over the boardroom table where it drips onto the carpet.

Singe: Right lads listen up. I’ve just been on Wikipedia again. The bad news is that I’ve gone through anyone who has worked at Spuds over the last 70 years who is still alive but can’t find anyone who wants to be our manager. The good news is that I’ve a new plan and I’ve got a copy of Rothmans and am in the process of putting anyone mentioned there in alphabetical order and subsequently have just been on the phone to Mr Aardvark.

Agnew: I know Cecil Aarvark chief. He used to sell programs at Rammy United didn’t he?

Singe: That’s him. A fine man with an extensive footballing knowledge.

Shaw: Did he accept the job SS?

Singe: Unfortunately he says on Saturday afternoons he has to wash his hair so won’t be able to join us.

Agnew: But chief Cecil was bald as a coote when I knew him.

Singe: Dam it I thought he was wearing a piece but you know when you’re just not sure?

Shaw: I’ve been busy as well SS. I had a talk with Pudsey this morning and sounded him out.

Singe: Ah yes Pudsey. He’s got all the right qualifications we’re looking for. He’s a kitman and he changed his name to a bear by deed poll. What did he say?

Shaw: He says that on Saturdays he really wants to meet up with his friend Yogi for coffee. He is bi-polar you know

Singe: Right that’s it there’s only I thing left. It’s a good job I took my track suit to the tailors the other day to have my SS initials made bigger. As soon as I get it back from the dry cleaners I’ll be down at Brockall.
Agnew: But chief you don’t have any experience. Didn’t you think Ryan Giggs should be playing in central defence with Rio Ferdinand at Melchester United?

Singe: He should I also think that SAF should play Gerrard at left back. Remember Steve Kean didn’t have any experience and I was MOTM against Shewsbury Town you know.

Shaw: Sorry SS I forgot.

Singe: Right Agnew get Rodgers on the phone. Tell him I want to talk about getting Suarez here on loan. I’ve seen him dive and think he will go great guns in goal. We’ll play Flowers alongside Murphy up front.

Oh no you're not. You're a Glory Hunter. You'll only be back when Rovers are back in the PL. At this rate that could be quite some time yet.

Yeah, I retired back in '75.

I'll let you do the sums but I'm an old man. I'd still beat you at an arm wrestle though.

Now then sunshine, the fact that you seem a little obsessed with glory hunters and excuses for not supporting Rovers, suggests to me you're either another bitter and twisted dingle, clinging on to every last reason to prove Burnleys worth as a football club or just an angry Rovers fan who likes to play devils advocate and stir a bit of 'in house' friction.

Either way I don't particularly like your posting and suggest you change your tone on here sunshine, otherwise I'll come round and smash one up your birds sheriffs badge, even though I'm 102 ;)

Still nothing from our "We are in shock" / absent owners, "Global adviser" (joke title) Shebby, ineffective MD (Shaw) and our "Director of Operations, Agnew (sounds like an Administrator in the NHS). What do they do? - it certainly isn't running a professional football club / business.

If Black is looking for a change, he should apply for the Burnley or Bolton job - a change is as good as a rest Eric (don't tell Captain Murphy who has been resting since he came to Rovers).

why only a couple of betting sites offering odds,unlike a few days ago ? why is simon grayson not on the betting list? do they have betting in india ??

CHANGE NEEDED

You got that right mate, I will give you that.

BIGGGGGGGG CHAAAAANGES, you have to laugh at such statements of the blooming obvious, so....ha (only a small laugh, times are hard).
Mr Black is indeed a 'rum jockey'

In fighting, racial tension, no common goal, lack of understanding, stupid comments, character judgement without facts, and stubborn opinions that will never change. Serbian FA? No quite simply some so called Rovers fans commenting on here.

Move on, have some faith in people and see what happens.

The appointment of the right person for the job will take time. In the Business world it is a minimum of three months for a high profile big appointment, even football is catching up!! We need the best person and it will take time. Give the owners and Shebby credit, they are interviewing the best people and the one we can't get to Sherwood means he is well thought of and would be decent. Too many people on here have said we never have a plan B, this is what the guys are looking at including a plan C and D. For once give them credit.

I love my club and always will, this is one of the most important decisions the club has ever made, and it looks like it is being taken very seriously.

See you at Derby

Let's get behind the team!!

A very curious post dg666. We are all one race at the end of the day (the human race).
We have been waiting ever since Big Sam was sacked for a good manager. People say 'new manager' quite a lot, and It's almost as if the Venkys and Shebby are looking for a brand new manager. I certainly don't want a brand new manager, I want a very experienced one but this wait is not appropriate, we should have had another manager months ago. My patience like most people has long since gone.

Inept, circus, fools....these are all words that come to mind when I am asked to wait for a manager. I have no faith in them whatsoever.

A good manager today please, no more wait wait!

Not much of a man if you ask me, and certainly not one to consider for the top post.

It does give the impression that Black did not agree with Kean on many aspects,and one would have hoped he would have had a more forceful imput than just being a yes man.However we all know that kean was not a team player and dissenting voices went the same way as Jensen.
Maybe the appointment of Hendry was Kean trying to get rid of Black,contructive dismissal is the term often used.

That's because Black IS a yes man.

He is merely Steve Kean with hair. And less tactical nous.

Nurse man, may I ask? Have you never made a mistake? If so have you done your best to rectify it? We can all pipe on about mistakes that certain people have made. This is why we can't afford to make anymore, hence the length and in-depth search that our officials are conducting to ensure we get the right person.

Yes we need a new manager, and one that is dynamic, inspiring and results driven. We don't want a one trick pony, who will get us promoted with boring direct football. We had that before with stability and the so called fans wanted him out!! Sam was the man, but few liked him. I won't go as far as to say who I would like as Gaffer but all I will say is, if this pathetic divide between the fans and so called supporter group hero's carries on our club will die. The infighting from fans is far more damaging than any owner or so called manager could ever create, think about it? The worse thing is if this is not sorted out before the 2nd December we will be beaten by Burnley and the future will never be the same!!

It is that serious get behind the club and we will fly!!!

In fact he should start smoking a crack pipe, shave his head and change his name to Steve Kean.

Then at least you might start mounting the odd attack every 40 minutes or so.

In Shebby The Snake's desperate, pathetic attempt to curry favour ( pardon the pun ) with the fans, I am surprised that he has not invited his cronies round to the Blus Bar again to pick the team for tomorrow by committe.

They probably already do he has them on speed dial ;)

Seeing Shabba in his rovers training top with SS on it sends a shiver down my spine, watching him attend pressers sat next to EB also worries me

When is Shabba going to take responsibility for all the sh1t signings he and the 'committee' have made since July 11.

Dark forces indeed

Another load of claptrap from someone BRFC fans don't want as manager. Like all the comments before have said if you play so many defense minded players how the hell is anyone going to support the attack. So far so bad as far as Black is concern. Another person who talks the talk but cannot halt the slide of our team. WE need a strong minded manger now, so come on you idiots get appointing the right man ASAP, You have had long enough to resolve this. You should have been headhunting as soon as you knew Keanochhio's position was in doubt. Better still, sell the club to someone who gives a ****.
