Blackburn FC the biggest Joke in football

[Exiled_red]

I didn't realise but they're now in the bottom 3, dear lord sacked Kean when they were in 2nd and now likely to be relegated

My best mate is a Blackburn fan, and I was asking him about this, he said that the Blackburn fans are still glad that they got rid of him (but thought he should have gone in the summer). The problem is Venkys and the poor decisions they make in terms of appointing managers.

As the club prepared for life in the Championship after their relegation from the Barclays Premier League last May, Singh recommended payments of more than £600,000 in agents’ fees to sign five unknown Portuguese players.
These are players who, between them, have made just four league starts this season, and three are now on loan at other clubs. But it does not end there.
Sportsmail’s investigation has discovered that Blackburn, who could end up in League One next season, are burdened with a group of 13 players whose combined wages and agents’ fees will cost the club £30million over the length of their contracts.

This week, Venky’s demanded that Singh, along with chief executive Derek Shaw and operations director Paul Agnew, plus caretaker manager Gary Bowyer, attend summit talks in India.

Adding to the confusion, last week Singh gave Shaw a letter ordering him to stay at home while the club investigated the former manager Henning Berg’s £2million High Court claim for compensation.

Berg, one of four managers to serve Blackburn during this insane season at Ewood Park, was dismissed after just 57 days.

However, the club insisted there was ‘no investigation’ into Shaw, even though club officials have confirmed that he received a letter from Singh. They did, however, state that £500,000 has been paid to Berg.

Former Blackburn manager Henning Berg has been awarded £2.25m in compensation after winning his claim against the club at the High Court in Manchester.
BBC
The 43-year-old was sacked in December, just 57 days into a three-year deal.

Rovers argued managing director Derek Shaw acted without the authority of owners Venky's to sanction the compensation terms agreed with Berg as part of his contract at Ewood Park.

Blackburn have also been ordered to pay £20,000 in interim costs.
At the hearing, Blackburn's own lawyers admitted that the ongoing power struggle between Shaw and the Indian family was a "shambles".

Crazy. Apparently Shaw was classed as a renegade director in proceedings. He doubled the compensation clause in the contract after Venkys signed off on only half the agreed amount. Allegedly

This makes Hicks and Gillett look pale in comparison
