National media ridicules Rovers for sacking Appleton

SACKED Michael Appleton SACKED Michael Appleton

BLACKBURN Rovers were today widely ridiculed in the national media after Michael Appleton was unceremoniously sacked yesterday.

Rovers have now had three full-time managers this season and five in total, with reserve team boss Gary Bowyer handed the task of steadying the ship until the end of the season.

Bowyer was in charge for four games prior to Appleton’s arrival and remained unbeaten during that spell.

Martin Samuel described the situation in equally bleak terms writing in the Daily Mail.

He said: “There really are few words to describe the idiocy of Blackburn Rovers’ decision to sack Michael Appleton, except to say that if the owners do not associate the crowd of 8,635 for an FA Cup quarter-final replay with their stewardship of the club, they are more stupid than they look. And frankly that isn’t possible.”

The boardroom divisions between Shebby Singh on one side and Derek Shaw on the other have attracted particular ridicule.

Ben Smith wrote for a BBC Sport comment piece: “The problem is bigger than any manager. At boardroom level, Blackburn is a club tearing itself apart. Singh and Shaw have not spoken since the turn of the year, avoiding each other on match days and watching from different boxes.”

The Sun described Appleton’s dismissal as chaotic and labelled the club a shambles while the Mirror described the shock axing as typical of Shebby’s Rovers.

The Rovers news was the main story in today’s Independent with the article pouring yet more scorn over the club.

Ian Herbert wrote: “Rovers continued their steep descent to becoming the most ridiculous club in British football.

“Appleton, the third Rovers manager to be dismissed this season, became the pawn in a power struggle between managing director Derek Shaw, who hired him, and global adviser Shebby Singh, whom Appleton believes wanted him out.

“What we have seen is the public unravelling of a proud football club because no one at the helm has the remotest idea about how to run one.”

Appleton's record warranted dismissal.

What is ridiculous about that ?

The rest of it we have known about since the takeover and more significantly since the appointments and promotion of
Derek Shaw, Shebby Singh and Agnew.

There really is no new news here.

This would be the same southern munters who said Kean should get manager of the year award. They said Kean was a good manager, they said Kean was a top coach. Speaks volumes doesn't it

Every word is sad but true. We, the fans have known the situation since these" dreadful people "walked into Ewood Park. At last the national media is waking up to the fact that we are a broken club from top to bottom. What a disgrace the F.A. , the Football League and , at the time, The Premier League didn't see what these"dreadful people " stood for. ....shame on all concerned.

Keep out, stay out until "these people" are driven from the club.

Yes.... you could be right... and yes we have been calling for the heads of the last 3 managers, as we could see that they were clearly not up to the job before they were appointed. However, no matter how disappointed we were with their performance, we chanted, waved banners, boycotted etc etc.. But NEVER did any fan set fire to the hair of our managers wife!!!! when you lot can say same then you have a right to an opinion. Until then get back on the Burnley page....

In isolation, it's a logical decision to remove a poor manager. What has been illogical is the last 3 appointments of Kean, Berg and Appleton. With that track record I don't expect the next choice to be right either. If they do get Adkins I'd be surprised but delighted. But would he come? For good money I reckon he would.

Good luck GB in the meantime.

No manager with any sense or self respect would put himself through the turmoil of becoming the next manger of Blackburn Rovers. Hence you will be saddled with another simpleton who's in it for the pay off. Where is Kean now? Where is Berg? What will become of Appleton? Association with BRFC is now considered a stain on anyones CV regardless of how sh*te they are.

The big papers don't watch Rovers matches to know that the football was dire and the tactis inept.
If they watched us they would understand a bit more.
The situation is crazy because they appointed two unknown managers in charge of an ex premier league club with muppet owners!
The Venkys are the problem.
Probiz were brought into boost the PR of Rovers! The only way they ca do it now is by buying Rovers!
Venkys Out!

More distressingly for you Mr Tickler is the news that Charlie Austin is on his toes!!!!

Everton, Celtic and Liverpool are all keen.

He needs to play at a decent club to further his career.

If only Burnleee could hold on to their players; they could be ok?

Still the transfer fee could be used to extend the capacity of Turf Moor....but what's the point...really.

Burnley FC are the laughing stock of East Lancs.

If Venky's are not prepared to sack Shebby Singh for his obvious short comings with being involved with a Club like Blackburn Rovers, his track record speaks for itself and Shaws is not much better either. Then they should consider selling otherwise this will be the total ruin of Blackburn Rovers in the very near future. Shebby is not a team worker and shouldn't be there. How could Venky's spend all that money on the Club whilst knowing the two main executves supposed to be running the Club are fighting tooth and nail to destroy each other. What sort of platform is that to invest money on.

I share your fears of relegation. They are now a top price of 10/1 to go down. I got 25's before a ball was kicked, and 100/1 when Kean quit.

And I thought Shaggy had disappeared, instead he was in the background plotting his revenge on Derek Shaw for going to Pune and persuading Venkys to hire Appleton.
.
This odious little Malaysian "MOTM against Shrewsbury Town", who anyone who has seen him as a pundit will tell you how clueless he is, is using BRFC and peoples lives to play his little games.
.
This waste of space and his BRAG mates needs to driven out of BRFC before his brings the club down another division.

Totally agree Messrs Shaw Agnew Singh and Coar should be on their bikes pretty quick (with a new CEO put in place) - Coar sits there without comment with vested interest in only retaining his seat with the FA no interest what so ever in the Rovers !!! I agree if these people dont bite the dust then the Venkys should put the Club up for sale !!!

How could Venky's spend all that money on the Club whilst knowing the two main executves supposed to be running the Club are fighting tooth and nail to destroy each other. What sort of platform is that to invest money on.
Totally agree Messrs Shaw Agnew Singh and Coar should be on their bikes pretty quick (with a new CEO put in place) - Coar sits there without comment with vested interest in only retaining his seat with the FA no interest what so ever in the Rovers !!! I agree if these people dont bite the dust then the Venkys should put the Club up for sale !!!
OUT WITH THE LOT OF THEM
Agreed. They need a complete clear out at boardroom level before we can even think of moving forward. If the likes of Shabby Minge, Shaw and Agnew are allowed to carry on with this ridiculous power struggle, then our slide down the leagues to oblivion will continue unabated. The club is imploding, and the IDIOTIC Venky's appear to be totally oblivious.

OUT WITH THE LOT OF 'EM!

Could all Burnleeeeee Fans look at the league table?

Take away the number of goals scored by all clubs beginning with 'B' from the number of fixtures in the total season.
Add on the number of players in a team (11); times by 2 and divide by the number of times Woevers have won the Premiership. Multiply that by the number of millions John Bond stole from BFC and then divide it by the number of times Leighton James played for Swansea.

What answer have you come up with?

The problem is that journalists are paid money to write rubbish while we were paying money to watch it. This was absolutely the right decision and I applaud Venkys for stumping up the cash to pay him off but they should contact the Office Of Fair Trading before they write the cheque to explore whether they can claim Wrongful Appointment.

Captain Dreckley says...
7:39pm Wed 20 Mar 13

Our last three managerial appointments have been disasters because Venkys tried to go for no experience and hope to
find a gem on the cheap . On the other hand Burnley recruit managers who walk out on them for bigger clubs such as Bolton and Bournemouth. A delve into their history and we find John Bond and the impact he had. Then we find them on here having a go at us even, at our lowest point in our history, they still cannot beat us

Blame Venkys not Kean, Berg and Appleton.It was mistake that then chairman sold our once proud club to Indian Billionaire who are not great Philanthropist.Rich Indians would keep their vast wealth in the bank rather than give it away to poor and destitutes in India.
In India 60% are rich and middle class but would not help the 40% who are poor and destitutes
When i heard that BRFC was sold to Indian billionaires i told my friends it's end of the world for Rovers now and i am right now.Venkys have ruined this great club.
I heard that John Williams is heading a consortium from Middle East to buy back BRFC from Venkys.If it's true please John Williams come back and save us from this terrible ordeal.

It comes across to me that no matter how irksome the press is, they are finally coming around to seeing Venkys for what they are, and in turn reverting their unwelcome attention on our support, now upon the total ineptness of our owners. And in doing so,rightly slamming the manner in which the sacking was delivered - absolutely no class whatsoever.
This in itself will make many a reasonable manager think twice, no matter hw much the salary. Anyone with any semblance of pride and integrity is very unlikelyto be tempted.
But then again football is a money grabbing career / profession !!!

As for Venkys out/new board in? From where?

I am afraid this debacle has a few more 'acts' to play out yet.

I find it hard to believe that there are so many dingles hoping and praying that we go into administration or worse. i would never wish financial hardship or owners such as ours on any other club & implying that we must 'pay a price' for having some success in our history just goes to show the true extent of your bitterness and jealousy. you spend your entire pointless existence concerning yourselves with what is happening at ewood and spreading your filth to the extent that you completely lose sight of any kind of decency or integrity. not actually being from blackburn i didnt really despise you as much as the next rovers supporter but over the last two years ive realised that oYou lot are nothing more than a bunch of knuckle dragging, faeces chucking, flea ridden, thumb sucking, gawping, interbred, neanderthals With the combined intelligence of an Amoeba which is an insult to Amoebas.

Absolutley spot on FCBitter. It's also known as Karma.

Which is exactly what those revolting, tooth grinding, greasy haired, shell suit wearing strange folk, with flared nostrils and unusually swollen hairy monobrows from Bonleh witnessed first hand at Ewood on Sunday.

So so so very angry, bitter, infatuated deranged and devoted to a hatred uncomparable in football or life in general, you create bad Karma for yourselves and therefore, despite an absolutely shocking Rovers performance and the worst team in 30 years, you once again fail to defeat the most decorated and famous club in East Lancashire.

Still, at least you smashed the toilets up in the Darwen End and threw some seats (that hit your fellow gurning champions)

Surely that ranks up there with Bonlehs greatest achievements?

Well done. You should be proud.

Everything that has happened since Venkys purchased the club was planned. They couldn't have done this accidentally - otherwise the rest of their businesses would have gone belly up long ago. The Premiere League vetted the purchase and must accept some of the responsibility for what has happened. They are purposely destroying this club in order to stop Blackburn Rovers games being shown on Indian TV. I wonder why?

It was the walker foundation that sold you out, your in free fall, it's better than any soap opera, can't wait for the next episode !!
the walker foundation??? Come on there must be a Burnley fan out there somewhere with an IQ bigger than their shoe size.
Is there a rovers fan with an iq bigger than his shoe size, this is a clip out of Andy cryers blog,
The problems did not start with Venkeys taking over, rather the issues were that the Walker family did not want to back BRFC in the manner that 'Our Jack Walker' did.
The demise began from when the family of Jack walker were not prepared to back BRFC in the manner that OUR Jack Walker would have expected.
The family had been trying to sell BRFC secretly just after the death of Jack Walker.
The problems of BRFC started from that point onwards.
BRFC waited for many months / years to find some buyers but to no avail.
It seemed no one wanted to buy the club. Eventually Venkeys bought the club.
Actually BRFC were fortunate that Venkeys did buy as there did not seem to be any other interest at all.
BRFC had no choice as the family of Jack Walker wanted to get rid of the (BRFC) family jewels.

We need to get used to the idea that foreigners own our football clubs,
If the people of Blackburn were so interested why did we not come up with a plan for the club together with the Jack Walker foundation and family.
Unfortunately, the Walker family were not interested in selling to the people as they would have not got much money from the people of Blackburn.
And the Walker family sold as they knew it was time to stop bank rolling BRFC and get as much as they possibly could , which they did and have now disappeared. away from BRFC.

I don't blame any of the managers, they have done what they can do.

shouldn't they do a better background check before that??

i don't give a rat's arse what any burnley fan think of blackbun rovers
or what the media put in there papers its just an opinion nothing more
but a lot of blackburn supporters had the pi@@ taken out of them by managers at the club the ramblings of steve kean are well documented
berg and appleton couldn't get it right so venkys rightly or wrongly took action
to try and halt the slide down the league in my opinion was the right thing to do

What background check do you suggest?

They run a successful business, made commitments and promises which seemed honourable enough. One was they wouldn't change the management structure of the club. That went out the window in a matter of weeks and would have been when the bells started ringing; by then it was too late.

No one could have predicted they were going to be useless at running a football club or that they were liars.

As for the Andt Cryer piece quoted by one of our dingle friends; that was his opinion and is flawed. The Walker Trust (not "Foundation" BTW) had not been putting in much money, if any, for some time yet the club had been bobbing along quite nicely thankyou. We would have been relegated eventually, it is the way of things with a club this size.

They may well ave been trying to sell the club but that in itself did not have an adverse effect.

I've had to wait before selling my car; it didn't immediately break down the moment I put an ad in Auto Trader though.

As for the sacking. Dispite the injuries Rovers still have more resources available than most clubs in this league and he made a hash managin them. He deserved the sack, good riddance and at least one decision right by the owners. Well done Venky's maybe you are slowly learning.

Now we need to support the team, the club and GB as one, and finish mid table above the 34's

most scum have never witnessed a scum win against Rovers . No wonder theres so much bitterness spouted from your tongues . To US Rovers fans its very nice indeed to feel the utopia of a result against you lot , its the norm for us every time we play you ,,its so so wonderful it feels like heaven . That goal from Dunny against ten men felt just as sweet as ALL the others ,if not sweeter coming from a local lad and fan . It really does,nt get any better for us . 1979 i was 19 and know how it feels to lose to you bstds . most Blackburn fans these days dont know that feeling , i KNOW how you feel .

I'm sill (almost) speechless at the supreme idiocy of our owners and Shebby Singh.

As we lurch from one disaster to another under these clowns I am now pretty much convinced that the club that has been a significant part of my life for 43 years is nearing the end.

I am not too concerned that Appleton was sacked if truth be told, but the method of his dismissal is simply not acceptable and shouldn't be to any decent person.

To learn from the TV that you have been sacked then to be handed a letter by a secretary confirming it shows nothing less than cowardice from the person concerned.

And that person can only be Shebby the snake.

It's also quite obvious that the lack of spine and honour runs straight up the food chain to the top of the Venky's hierarchy, that is evident in the simple fact that they are reneging on Henning Bergs contract.

How many other contracts have been reneged on?

No understanding, gross incompetence, cowardice, morally bankrupt and totally out of touch with reality.

This one single episode proves beyond any reasonable doubt that Venky's are not fit and proper owners of our once great club.

John Williams is over the refs union.no longer at man city. All so John Williams loves the club but would not work with Indians. The club needs to be sold or needs a person who fans know and turst to run it. who has a business mind. Like John Williams or like Matt yansen who i think has a degree in business a person like this would bring the fans back together and club. My option of course

If John Williams took control of the club with a consortium, I would personally hand craft a bronze statue of the man outside the Blackburn End to stand next to Uncle Jack.
How desperate are you lot, please come back and rescue our shambles of a club John Williams, please, please... Last I heard John Williams was unceremoniously removed from his position by your clubs owners and correct me if I'm wrong is now employed by Manchester City champions of England. John Williams wouldn't come within 10 miles of Ewood Park, he wipes his a*se on BRFC toilet paper. Enjoy your demise. Venky's rule!
How desperate are we? HOW DESPERATE ARE YOU?

I can honestly say I've never gone over to one of your pages and posted a comment (feel free to check).

Yet you find the time in your worthless little life to come on here daily, posting over and over and over again about OUR club.

It really is true about Burnley isn't it - there's actually nothing better to do there.

Just go away the lot of you, we're bored of it!
John Williams is over the refs union.no longer at man city. All so John Williams loves the club but would not work with Indians. The club needs to be sold or needs a person who fans know and turst to run it. who has a business mind. Like John Williams or like Matt yansen who i think has a degree in business a person like this would bring the fans back together and club. My option of course
Oh dear God, please stop, my sides are hurting... Hahaha get Matt Jansen in to run the club because he has a degree in business!!!??? Brilliant. Look no further BRFC all your troubles are over, here's comes Matt Jansen in his cap and gown to save the day. Priceless.

"the most ridiculous club in British football", couldnt have put it better myself. What a joke you are, not just to the Clarets, but to all with an interest in football.”

More distressingly for you Mr Tickler is the news that Charlie Austin is on his toes!!!!

Everton, Celtic and Liverpool are all keen.

He needs to play at a decent club to further his career.

If only Burnleee could hold on to their players; they could be ok?

Still the transfer fee could be used to extend the capacity of Turf Moor....but what's the point...really.

Burnley FC are the laughing stock of East Lancs.

Dream on Fanneeee
Madari the snake charmer says:

When i heard that BRFC was sold to Indian billionaires i told my friends it's end of the world for Rovers now and i am right now.Venkys have ruined this great club.

Came on here to have a read. Can't believe how many of those same few dingles are on here. Thought I'd got the Burnley column. Hell, they sound more affected by our manager being sacked than we are. I wouldn't look at the back of my cornflakes box to read about Burnley. Truly phenomenal.

hi
Top players do not always make good managers.!
def the case with R Keane.
Unfortunately, as a manager, Roy keane is and has been a total failure.

Managing requires different skills and attributes. It is evident that Roy Keane does not have those.

for example:
he still thinks hes a top player
but reality is he's not anymore
and still he does not see himself as retired...!!
he still thinks like the top player he was with quality players around him.

Actually, even at Man UTD where all are quality, it was common for Roy to get angry everyday with the players.
This increased towards the end of his career so much that Fergy. had to safe guard his other players and hence Roy had to go.

he has bought many players as a manager but most have been bad buys.
he rarely made a good choice with players bought most were average or not good enough..!

He has very poor financial sense.
his track record at buying players is very poor.

he gets angry very quickly.

he easily falls out with his players
if he does not get on with players.
he gets angry & he sidelines too many players.

In fact, Roy has fallen out with too many players and likely always to fall out with other human being and players because of his personality adn fiery temper & he wants all his way
so much that he would disregard or banish players. He would never play them again.

Hence with all the previous teams he has managed he has managed to have more players that he would not play again then those actually left to choose from. ....!!!!!!

He is a hot head and likely to fall out at any time, he is not dependable, he has no successful management record, & def. not BRFC management material.

We need stability, and success.
above all else we need a manger who can get on with all concerned especially winning over the fans and uniting everyone at the club.
We need someone to bring in quality players from the Uk and abroad. someone with connections to clubs and players.
We need someone who can take us back to the Premier and that requires someone who is hard working, someone who is not coming only for money, someone who can lead by example, someone who is motivated, someone who can deliver the results required by all fans, someone with charisma, style and passion.

always
