Berg will do it his way

Henning Berg Henning Berg

HENNING Berg’s former director of football Jan Age Fjortoft insists Blackburn Rovers have not appointed a ‘yes man’ – with the Ewood Park legend being unveiled as manager this morning.

Rovers confirmed yesterday that Berg has agreed to be the club’s new boss and he is due to meet the squad at training this morning.

Berg, who made 296 appearances in two spells at the club between 1993 and 1997 and from 2000 to 2003, will initially arrive on his own and be given the chance to assess the current backroom staff, before deciding what, if any, changes are needed to move forward.

The 43-year-old was a key figure in helping Rovers to the Premier League title in 1995 and in his second spell at the club he won promotion back to the top flight and then the Worthington Cup in 2002.

Some Rovers fans fear global advisor Shebby Singh has been searching for a manager who will be his puppet, and believe that is the reason why he has opted to ignore more experienced contenders.

Berg himself though, has already been critical of owners Venky’s back in May and his former Norwegian team-mate Fjortoft fully expects him to be his own man.

Former Swindon and Middles-brough striker Fjortoft was director of football at Lillestrom when Berg was initially appointed their manager from Lyn in 2008.

Fjortoft departed just a few months later, as Berg continued for three years before being fired in 2011.

He said: “Henning is his own man.

“People say the owners wanted to appoint a yes-yes man but, from my experiences of him, he isn’t that.

“Henning had said earlier in the year he could not believe any manager would take the job with the owners the way they have been and that made headlines in Norway at the time.

“I expect he will do things his own way at Blackburn.

“When you come to a club you have to find ways of working with your bosses and that is what he will do.

“Henning is a person who will work 24/7 at whatever he does.

“He is always thinking about improving things and is someone you always expected to become a manager sooner rather than later.

“He did okay as a manager in Norway and will come to Blackburn as a new generation of coach. He has a foot in the old years but also is a very much a coach of the future.

“It is all about getting a chance and he has got his chance to come in.

“In football management you have to plan long term but you have to get results short term. That is what Henning will try to do.”

As a pundit for Norwegian TV channel TV2, Berg said the following about the Blackburn job in the summer.

“To manage a Premier League club would be nice, even a Nationwide club,” he said. “However, if you should manage a club, it is essential to have the right owners.

“To join as a manager of a club with such owners are insane. There is no real managers with credibility who would take over a job like that.

“You shoot yourself in the foot.

“You are there for a few months, nothing works and you can’t do what you want. The situation surrounding the owners must be clarified first."

Read the When Saturday Comes article 'Graeme of Truth' - find it on-line. Henning loves BRFC and that is exactly what we need - someone who shares our passion. He clearly has a mind of his own and will say it how he sees it. He needs time and support, if any Rovers fan can't do that, then please stay away, this is a new chapter for us.

Quote his own word in the Times ' any manager with credibility would not take this job on' so Henning what about your credibility now!!!!
Apart from being way down the fans wish list of Managers your statement says it all - just needed a job!!! The only way you will prove some credibility to the fans is to get shut of Black and Hendry and bring in your own backroom staff otherwise the appointment will be seen as just another 'yes' man.

They both add nothing to the support and fan base of the club and could be just as big a factor in not getting promoted as any of the names they go on and on about (if not a bigger factor - negative idiotic "Fans")

You don't know this, dangerous dave. You believe it, you suspect the worse, but you don't KNOW this. It would be better for your ulcers and your blood pressure if you'd just ease up and give Berg a chance. Berg has been to the top, you don't do that if you are not your own man. Of course, I don't know this either, it is just my belief too, but there are many positives about Berg that Kean or Black never had. He's been there, done that as a footballer.

He says he is in charge of football and he will make the decisions and not be influenced by Shebby etc. Give him a chance to prove it, and get behind him when he makes the right decisions. Some may take time, and success on the field will take time, but GIVE HIM A CHANCE!

I am just as suspicious as you about the ulterior motives of Venkys, Shebby, Agnew, Shaw, Black and Hendry, so let's give Berg every encouragement to sort out the wheat from the chaff. He is in charge, not anybody else. If he isn't we'll find out soon enough.

Henning Berg could be a decent manager, I hope he tells The idiots at the top that he will be running the transfers and team selections he wont be a walk over. Rovers will one day return to the Premiership but as I said in an earlier post that as a Manchester United fan Rovers fans have my support. Henning Berg has worked with the best Manager in the World Sir Alex Ferguson he would of learned on how to be a winner but it didnt work out in Norway but but it could work out for him in Lancashire give him time. I hope Rovers do that and learn from United when you give time to a new Manager rewards will follow and they did. Fergie as won 12 League Titles, 5 FA Cups, 4 League Cups, 2 European Cups and he has won the world club championship twice meaning United have been world champions twice at club level. If Rovers follow the same path as United did then who knows where u'll be in the next 20 years, but unfortunately todays game is more about money. But I am looking forward to seeing Rovers back in the Premiership soon

Above all the qualities we are looking in for in the new man apart from his knowledge and ability is the fact that he his is own man,and not a yes man,there will be some of the staff at Ewood looking over their shoulder,thinking time to pull our finger out.This has taken a while to sort out, but perfect time to sort out the deadwood before January and pinpoint his targets,best of luck HB I,ll be back down to Ewood now.

KENTARO ARE MEDIA DRIVEN...THEY ARE TRYING EVERYTHING IN THEIR POWER TO BRAINWASH ROVERS SUPPORTERS INTO THINKING BERG IS A GREAT APPOINTMENT. ACCORDING TO GARY HICKSON ON RADIO LANCASHIRE, THEY EVEN INSISTED THE SO-CALLED "PRESS CONFERENCE" DID NOT GO OUT LIVE. THEY'VE INFILTRATED THESE COMMENT PAGES AND SHEBBY FAILED TO ANSWER ANY OF THE QUESTION POSED TO HIM APART FROM ONE: HE SAID BERG FITS THE CRITERIA BECAUSE...GET THIS...HE HAS HAD SOME SUCCESS BUT HAS FAILED ALSO!!! SO THAT'S WHAT THEY'VE BEEN LOOKING FOR ALL ALONG...A FAILURE!!! NO WONDER ANDERSON INSISTED ON A PRESS CONFERENCE CONDUCTED BY THE SIDE OF THE PITCH AND NOT TO BE AIRED LIVE....DISGRACEFUL IS NOT ADEQUATE TO DESCRIBE THIS DEBACLE!! I WILL NEVER INVEST A PENNY IN THIS CORRUPT REGIME TILL THEY'VE SOLD UP AND ANDERSON/HENDRY ARE NO LONGER IN CONTROL!!

Southern Rover , you have very little understanding of football clubs if you think the people that own the majority shareholding in our great football institutions like Blackburn Rovers own the club, Rovers is worth NOTHING AND I MEAN "NOTHING" without the supporters /fan base if you think the Venky`s or anyone else that comes after them own the Blackburn Rovers you are a million miles away ,Rovers are owned by the thousands who go to the games , the sick and old that cannot get to the games , the ones that still moan and protest but still love the club , the hundreds ot thousands of Rovers fans living around the world ,and not by a respectable Indian business family in Pune/India they are simply caretakers.
Exactly Ronnie and that is why they're on here with their numerous false accounts trying to brainwash the masses. The sooner this scum is out of Jack's beloved the club the better!!! Shame on LET for allowing such practice to go unchallenged on here...cannot be too difficult to investigate the source of these comments. They've been posted the same rubbish since Sam was here...greed is their motivation...AT ANY COST!!

Smelly's answering his own comment now. He's finally flipped out. Who's got the straight jacket ?
Regardless of what we think of Venkys - and I don't think much - Berg is the only thing us supporters have going for us at the moment. We ought to hope for the best and get behind him and the players. This mess isn't going to straighten out overnight, but give him a chance. No good going on about who we might have signed as manager. It's over, so get used to it. Good luck to Berg.
