[Archived] Berg sacked

[cwspellowe]

Hendry wasn't a first team coach though was he?

[Waggy76]

Hendry and Singh are the two that remain

That says it all

Not beyond the realms of possibility that Hendry is the new boss !

[Paul]

They must have someone plus a coaching staff lined up. Surely Hughes isn't so stupid as to come back?

[John]

Must have provisionally agreed something with manager and their staff.

[cwspellowe]

Bloody hell, wondered how long it would be until the Steve Kean love-in on SSN.

"remember when SK was in charge? Blackburn were really up in the promotion mix"

[koi]

You've got to think that a coaching team is lined up because even venkys can't be stupid enough to get rid of the 1st team management a few days before a game

[DE.]

Why has Shebby not been sacked as well then? This is his @#/? up.

[ada2020]

I think it was obvious ( even to venkys by now surely) that a complete clearing of the decks on the coaching side was required.
So this does not mean that hughes and co are being lined up, though I really hope they are!!!!!

[Doug]

Sad day for Berg, but I will always remember him as a great player and servant for our club.

This has been on the cards for weeks.

The coaches have gone (not Hendry!!), so hopefully this indicates a manager and his own team coming in.

Singh will not be sacked, I'm sure of that.

I am not confident we will make a decent appointment.

[Stuart]

So expensive Tafia, or cheap Hendry.

Or someone else.

Let the games begin.

Again.

[RoyRover]

I'm not surprised in the least by the sacking of Berg. His appointment was a totally botched job. There was no clear process or understanding of who was wanted or needed by those in charge and in the end we got a Rovers legend, who had limited experience at a much lower level of football. Shebby obviously thought that getting someone like Berg in would appease the fans and would fit his ridiculous notion of having a new Mourinho.

Berg had every right to take the job. It turns out he wasn't very good at it. I think a lot of us hoped he would be a good appointment rather than knowing that he was a good appointment. The fact is that Kean and Black got more out of this team that Berg did. If Berg and the coaches get sacked, then Shebby has to have someone lined up with a set of coaches to come in. I would want Hughes and his team. I remember when he got the job in the first place and we weren't going well, that the first thing he did was increase our fitness levels and make us hard to beat. That's the first thing that needs to be done by the new manager whoever he is.

As for the owners, what can you say about them? I would love just to have 10 minutes with them. I wouldn't shout and I wouldn't swear, I would just lay down the fact that ever since they have taken over every decision they have made on the footballing side of things has been the wrong one. From the sacking of Allardyce, to the hiring of Steve Kean, to ignoring the advice of our experienced administrators like Williams and Finn who then resigned, to sticking by Kean which lead to our relegation, to the hiring of Shebby Singh who then choose Berg as the new manager, it has all been wrong and they are solely to blame.

Anything is possible in football but I cannot see Singh and Hughes working together......

[ABBEY]

I'd rather they sacked Singh, Shaw and Agnew.

Here here

[McClarky]

That must mean that Shebby is in charge on Saturday, that would mean 5 managers in half a season when we get someone else in. Classic. Let's just pray that someone else is lined up and it's not another circus stretching right over the January window.

[greco]

What, get results?

Same team Kean and Black got decent results from, I like Berg but clear he was/is not up to the job.

i cant remember ever agreeing with you imy, but this is spot on. Kean, black and berg worked under the same clueless owners, the same retarded global advisor and were all working in the same enviroment, when it comes to the club politics or should i label it as club chaos.

Kean was and still is a disgrace, lucky or not, his results were way better then bergs. If any manager is in a position, where they are compared to kean in a manager contest, they are already a loser in my book. Not only that, but also losing in the contest against kean, well that takes it to a whole new level.

Black showed some good tendencies, according to the general consensus and got some okay results

Berg , well no explaination needed.

Now to my Gav impersonation, If any of you @#/?wits in charge read this, im not asking for kean back, im asking for all of you imbeciles to @#/? off.

[ada2020]

Hopefully Singh is next out the door, thus negating the question of Hughes working with Singh.

[DanLad]

It could take weeks to get someone in again. Maybe we'll get someone in just after the transfer windown clangs shut?

[Tom]

The article was headlined: 'managerial changes' which makes me think someone definitely is poised and ready to take over

[Rovermatt]

Unsurprising given the continuing horrendous performances. The swiftness of this departure makes that keaner Kean's crazed tenure all the more suspicious.

The removal of coaching staff days before a match says that the new man has been approached, laid the law down and got his way.

If that assumption is correct then hopefully it's a step in the right direction of how a club should be ran. And if Hughes has had those assurances why not?

I can't see any other reason. If they were getting someone in already at the club in they would have kept Black and co.

[davulsukur]

Is anyone else scared that Hendry might take over?

[cwspellowe]

I'm more scared Kean will walk back into the job

I really hope you're right.

If that was going to happen they would have kept the rest and saved some money?

[broadsword]

Right decision, doubtless for the wrong reasons.

Can't see Hughes returning. In fact UI can't see any manager worth their salt wanting to take the job.

Very strange that Hendry went into the reserves not long ago, thereby making himself bomb-proof.

My money's on Singh as caretaker manager. The hypothesis is that he's saved his skin with some bS anhas said that he can do better,
