Rovers Blog: Singh playing the lead role in Ewood pantomime season

WELL the circus continues and ringmaster Shebby Singh is making us football’s biggest laughing stock.

Henning Berg should probably never have got the job. I am glad he has gone before his name has been dragged through the mud.

He can hold his head high.

The sackings of Eric Black, Iain Brunskill and Bobby Mimms, though not altogether unexpected, were done disgracefully.

And I still don’t fully understand how Mimms can shoulder any blame. He’s only a goalkeeper coach.

For them to find out via the media just shows how far this club has fallen. Merry Christmas and all that.

In my last column two weeks ago I called for Shebby to go. I reiterate that call.

His 606 interview gave him a national platform on which to look ridiculous, and he duly obliged.

The most frightening prospect to come out of an incredible fortnight was that of a Bollywood actor joining the coaching staff. Then again, I had heard Judan Ali had always dreamed of acting in a true British farce.

Before we took on Berg, I sent in an application for the vacant managerial position at Blackburn Rovers as a joke to see what would happen.

Aside from once taking Rushden and Diamonds from the Conference to the Championship on an old version of PC game Championship Manager, I have no football management experience.

But surely I should expect a phone call soon?

At least the nation’s press appears to have finally woken up to the real plight of Rovers. Unfortunately those journalists who seemed to need a lot of persuading that things weren’t altogether tickety boo have already succeeded in tarnishing the reputation of our core fanbase.

Now the pressure is on for Venky’s and Shebby Singh.

Get the next appointment right or suffer the consequences.

Mrs Desai, don’t leave the decision in his hands. Please.

Sorry but he didn't 'get rid' of Kean. His antics - which didn't please Mrs Desai - gave the unsackable Kean the opportunity to resign while still getting a bumper pay-out. Granted, the end result was what everyone wanted but let's not put Shebby on a pedestal - he's no shining knight in blue and white armour.

He did not get rid of Kean the bald one resigned. Shebby is the clown that is the mouthpiece for the circus that is Venkys Blackburn Rovers. We went from a well respected and well run premiership club to the laughing stock of world football thanks the malaysian tv pundit and the indian chicken farmer owners they are the sad JOKE not the LT

See the little amateur reporter here done all his research by reading the tabloids and listening to 606!!!!


Paul Agnew And Derek Shaw are the real Poison at this club, Shebby is pretty insignificant compared to those two parasites(Agnew imparticular).

They're all as bad as each other. I can't see how you can say Singh is pretty insignificant when, by his own admission, he has the final say on the day-to-day running of the club. He only answers to Venky's. Shaw and Agnew are often required to answer to him.

Get all three out and start from scratch.

Don't be distracted by the Shabby Show and let the two lurking in the shadows get overlooked. Shebby is undoubtedly a blathering nicompoop but Agnew and Shaw, particularly Agnew are doing worse behind the curtain Shebby is providing for them. All the lot must go. Getting rid of Shebby won't help. It will just give Agnew the sole power he wants.

If we are unfortunately stuck with the Venkys for the long term,the solution is simple.
1. Get rid of SS,PA,DS,CH.
2. Send one of the Rao's to Wigan to see how a small town club should be run
3. Appoint a proper chairman with the appropriate values that Rovers always stood for (ideally John Williams if he would take it or Venkys would be prepared to eat humble pie)
4. Allow the new chairman to appoint an internal structure which reflects what Rovers always was- stable,prudent,in touch with the supporters.
5. Give the above carte blanche to appoint their own manager of the club and initiate a major campaign over the summer to reclaim the thousands of supporters who whilst still supporting the club have voted with their feet and cannot bear to step into Ewood.
6. Venkys to back the new administration without reservation and to adopt a totally back seat position at least until some modicum of stability is restored
Simples really

Agree neither of them should be running a football club, but out of the 3 Agnew&Shaw have been doing the club the most harm since day 1 and will continue to do so regardless of i Singh leaves or who the new manage will be. They(Agnew&Shaw) just poison anything that happens at the club that they dont have complete control over and they DO NOT have the best interests of BRFC in mind when doing so, they're only here only to make gains for themselves and 'those who cant be mentioned' on here for legal reasons.

Sorry but one of my New Year's resolutions is to stop listen to conspiracy theories and tales of kickbacks and bungs. Unless anybody has proof of any such dealings - other than, "it's common knowledge" - then I don't want to hear about it.

All three should go, but because they're all awful at the jobs they're employed to do.

Talking of championship manager I have recently taken Aston Villa to three consecutive league titles, 2 FA cups, 1 Europa cup and a champions league win. Does that qualify me above shebby.

This is a dangerous situation we are in without doubt. Shebby needs to calm down and be more of a diplomat within the Club. They all need to work together for the good of the Club. I wouldn't like any of the individuals involved to be allowed to run the Club on their own.Maybe they should let us see their job descriptions ( if they have one ) then we can all see who is responsible for what. All these fancy titles mean nothing.

Isn't a business supposed to make money. You F*&^ing suck at running a business and you suck at life. Kill yourselves please.

The club were uon a downward spiral till Singh was recruited. He stabilised the club a bit but his decision to recruit Henning was very risky with hindsight. His heart is with rovers. Shebby, get the next managers decision right.
