I said the same when Blackburn went for him. Bizarre appointment, bizarrely inflated reputation.Thanks very much for being ‘This Mornings’ Farmer’ -
Yep they keep hiring inexperienced managers and then sacking them when they fail. They even hired an inexperienced advisorComment

3 managers sacked in a season
The only gracious way to accept an insult is to ignore it; if you can't ignore it, top it; if you can't top it, laugh at it; if you can't laugh at it, it's probably deserved.Comment

Think there should certainly be a point in the season when you can't sack a manager. Sort of march time.*Except Michael, who died.Comment

Maybe have it the same as the transfer window? May to August and then January.Originally posted by Alex View PostComment

Don't think that'd work. Because all of a sudden loads of managers will just get sacked. It would be chaos for the transfer windows I think.*Except Michael, who died.Comment

Compared to Palermo this season this is nothing.
Sacked their manager, hired a new one. Sacked him. Hired a new one sacked him. Then re hired the first one, sacked him. And finally re-hired the 3rd one and sacked him. they are now managerless and winless in a long time.96 Never ForgottenComment

still a farce
Blackburn Rovers managing director Derek Shaw has been told to stay away from Ewood Park during an investigation into the compensation owed to former boss Henning Berg.
On Wednesday Shaw received notice of the disciplinary inquiry in a letter.
Berg, who was sacked in late December, says he is owed approximately £2m and has taken his claim to the High Court.
Global advisor Shebby Singh will fly to India on Thursday for meetings with owners Venky's to discuss the matter.
Blackburn's bosses in 2012-13
Steve Kean 8 games
Eric Black 6 games
Henning Berg 10 games
Michael Appleton 15 games
Gary Bowyer 6 games
Singh declined to comment when approached by BBC Sport, while Shaw could not be contacted for comment.
The investigation will focus on how the terms of Berg's contract were drawn up.
In the meantime Shaw has been asked to stay at home, although it is understood a meeting is planned at the club on Monday.
Singh has been in talks with club lawyers for the last fortnight in an attempt to find a solution to Berg's claim, a case which is being pursued by the League Managers' Association. Berg went to the LMA for assistance after he said he had not been paid any compensation since his sacking.
Former Preston North End chairman Shaw was appointed by Rovers in June 2012, just days after Singh was confirmed as the club's global advisor.
Berg was in charge for 57 days. His successor Michael Appleton was sacked after only 67 days at the helm, with reserve team boss Gary Bowyer put in caretaker charge until the end of the season.
Monday's 3-0 defeat at league leaders Cardiff City leaves the club out of the Championship relegation zone only on goal difference.
Blackburn later released a statement saying: "The club's owners wish it to be known that Mr Shaw is very much with the club." When asked about Mr Shaw being sent home on Wednesday during the investigation, a club spokesman declined to comment.Comment

Shaw on the brink
Rovers Managing Director is reportedly on the brink of the sack after the club started to hold directors accountable for the ongoing shambles at the club.
The move is likely to be confirmed in due course as the club's owners appear to take an interest in how a club can have 5 managers over the course of a season.
Fans have longed called for the owners to take a look at the boardroom structure at Ewood Park, which has been destructive ever since a huge fallout around the New Year period over control issues.
But Shaw looks like he has 'lost' the war with the Henning Berg compensation claim still rumbling on and Shaw is being blamed for the excessive amount of money due to the Norwegian through clauses in his deal, who was in charge at Rovers for just 10 games.
The Daily Mail is reporting that Shaw, former head honcho of Lancashire neighbours Preston North End, 'was presented with a letter from the club`s Indian owners and told to remain at home pending an investigation into the amount of compensation due to Henning Berg, who was sacked as manager after only 57 days in charge at the end of December.'
And the news is unlikely to stop there with at least one more staff member due to pay the price...
