[Archived] New Manager

[glen9mullan]

Glen, whose decision was it to drop Orr and bring in Henley for Berg's first game in charge?

Whose choice was it to bring in Rosado (A Shebby signing I believe) for Vuckevic?

Bergs on both counts,

He picked the team

Brilliant.

Great quote from Glen in the Independent.

[chaddyrovers]

Thankyou very much Glen for posting when you have tonight/this morning.

And for answering everybody questions, very good insight. abit different to what we read in papers what is what most fans read.

Rovers need to appoint a experience manager as the next manager. this is vital if the club is going to move forward.

A experience manager like Billy Davies, Sean O'Driscoll or Sven Goran Eriksson. I would even take Phil Brown.

Ok Glen. So they want mac in - in a Kean stylee?

But who has been sticking his nose in on team selection? Don't tell me otherwise. Berg played under Kenny and Ferguson, he knows his players. Decisions over the last two games regarding starting line ups and in particular lateness of subs made no sense whatsoever.

Shebby has complete control over the football side of the club, as revealed at the AGM today. He needs to let go and get a manager in and leave them to it. He also needs to get a proper Board in place. He can then sit back and pick his nose for all I care and just do commentary on Radio Lancs for his 400k per annum. Yep, it's that bad.

Aggers and Shaw out then? It's a start.

We all know the answer but I don't think he will answer because of some legal reason or other. Singh needs to go of that I have no doubt. I don't care who he has befriended, he's dangerous. He's on some self righteous, self serving real life football manager kick. He must be terminated. Proper manager brought in and allowed to do his job why these numbskulls in Pune can not wrap their head around that most simple of facts just beggars belief.

I am writing to them tomorrow to throw my hat into the ring. I was a very successful Subbuteo player as a youngster, I think think gives me enough experience in football matters to do the job.

SORRY GLEN You did answer. My apologies.

[USABlue]

Berg was told when he was appointed he picks the team and he picks his backroom team. Within a few games other influences within ensured certain players were marginalised.

All this it was Shebby's man as I have repeatedly said from day 1, he was not. He was a compromise, none of the three selection committee's first choice but indeed spoke to Shaw first.

Our ex-Manager has a shadow, as did Berg (same shadow), Yet only one man tried to save him from the chop and he was not the shadow. I do get the sense some wanted Mr Berg to fail, and let one man take the wrap for it.

I cant elaborate anymore on a public message board as its not fair on the owners of this site!

If your first statement is true then how can your second be. I don't wish to join the long list of folks having a go at you just looking for some clarity. How the hell can a "shadow" influence the manager, how can anyone marginilise a player if the manager has 100% team control. Can't be done can it, said manager tells shadow/meddler @#/? OFF I pick the team.

I just can not believe Singh is not meddling. I can come up with no other explanation as to why he totally passed over some very qualified candidates and became obsessed the inexperienced ex player thing. I will not buy this to get the fans back onside either. The easiest way to do that is start winning. The best way to do that is hire someone who knows what they are doing.

One last question and I'll leave you be, what do you mean by shadow exactly. PM me the answer if you want.

That's something I'd like to know too and why would "they" also have "shadowed" Kean, does'nt make sense like a lot of your posts.

[Waggy76]

He will be experienced or you can have my resignation from the Action Group

4.Mcdonald is indeed recommended by Shaw/Agnew

Do you class MacDonald as experienced ?

I do not , another no mark un employed cheap option coach , who nobody obviously wants !

Was he under consideration when Berg was appointed ?

If not , how on earth is he in the frame this time ?

Someone just picked his name out of thin air ?

In my opinion , the whole lot Singh ,Shaw and Agnew should go ,preferably before 9am today !

[Biddy]

Talking of which, shouldn't re-elections be coming up anyway in February or don't the Action Group hold annual elections?

I've just read the last 6 pages overnight and feel like this...

I think I'm going to wait for a consensus between Cryer, Mullan and Kamy before believing anything!!

So Andy's reporting that Ali may be on the staff. I hope MacDonald doesn't get appointed in any capacity.

Nothing personal, I just want the new manager to choose his own staff. That at least makes us a slightly more attractive proposition

Organisations will always attempt to define their 'ideal' employees. They do this by organisationally 'positioning' them in many and various ways. Employees read their situation as 'real' not 'ideal' employees. There is always a gap there, between the real and the ideal employee. (Unless you are a robot or the epitome of the company wo/man).

Management try to close this gap. If they don't manage to do this very well, if somebody doesn't like being shadowed, to choose a random example, (maybe because it's seen as undermining), you get...well, what we have now, writ large.

The gaps in this organisation appear to be absolutely enormous.

[Ricky]

Just seen the quote in the independent. Quite a change in approach that Glen, a very welcome one however. I was at a wedding from mid day yesterday so had not caught up with the whole shambles. The comment of yours I quoted did appear to be trying to further defend Shebby and pin the blame elsewhere which is why I quoted it. Your comment in the independant however seems, in my opinion anyway, to really represent what the fans are feeling and is most welcome.

[Paul Mellelieu]

Where is the blog Glen refers to?

[Happyforeverclapper]

One very important point to note before I forget, one JEROME ANDERSON Met with Shaw prior to his flight yesterday, the content of that conversation is at this point unknown , although I am trying to find out more

@#/? stirring again are we?maybe the quataris will be meeting them upon arrival! Yet more 'wild' bullshit from yourself! Stick to what your best at mullan...looking for the next tv radio interview!

You've got no credibility on here pal, so I'd not waste the effort.

[Gav]

Where is the blog Glen refers to?

It's been taken down, we can only assume that Agnew threatened the site, so it's being looked into. It was rather scathing of the worst press officer in the country, no surprise there then.

Just on the worst press officer in the country, his meddling first became apparent during the fans visit to Pune, his attempts to keep the fans away from the owners didn't work, he was overruled by the owners themselves. He offers nothing to Blackburn Rovers, he should be run out of the club, because in my opinion his actions are of a man interested on only money and power and that's very dangerous as we have found out over the 12 months.

The sooner Agnew goes the better, he's only a pawn in this sorry saga, but you eliminate the pawns to get to the king and he must go ASAP.

AGNEW OUT

Sorry mate, 55 posts and each one bordering on the abusive, why, have you a personal axe to grind ?

[Ricky]

Rovers Fan, you have been warned. If you fail to offer anything to the MB apart from abuse then you will end up with a ban. We all have opinions that we can share but you need to understand that you need to offer something else as well

"....eliminate the pawns to get to the king....". I like it Gav! You must have had 2 Weetabix to come up with that one!

Beat me to it Ricky

Enough is enough

It's "Qataris". If you're going to attempt to ridicule someone at least get your spelling correct. No one acknowledges the opinion of an illiterate... Well, at least I don't.

[Kamy100]

I am sorry but I just can't believe that Shebby did not interfere. I really hope that Henning talks publically about what has happened, because he and some of the players have told journos off the record about what has happened behind the scenes. I'll leave it at that for now. That said I more than anyone know what Aggers is like and would love it if he is removed, personally I think that all three amigos (Shebby, Shaw and Aggers) need to removed but that won't happen.

[sharpysharps]
