Ambitious Blackburn

[bobo the clown]

Tim Sherwood is being lined up.

Didn't he have a pretty ill-fated spell somewhere in the past? Lower / Non-league, or have I imagined that??

I thought that, but out friend Wiki says not ..... but there is one very important line in this extract ;

Before joining the coaching staff at Spurs Sherwood was a pundit for Setanta Sports on their Premier League coverage.

Since 2005 has run Icon Magazine with Jamie Redknapp and Louise Redknapp, a role he will maintain alongside his responsibilities at White Hart Lane.

He was reported on 27 October 2008 to be considering a job offer as a coach with Tottenham Hotspur by new manager Harry Redknapp. He took up the offer and joined the Spurs coaching staff on 31 October 2008

Louise bloody Rednapp, a vacuous bimbo if ever there was one.

To do what? They're second in the league... he doesn't need to 'turn things around'..

Or are they going to give him some unreasonable 'goal-difference' type demands for the next 3?

They'll insist he wins all three but Shebby Singh will monitor the chanting to see if Venky's as a global brand are being unfairly tarred with the basting brush... and if they are, then Kean's stuffed (ah Keano!)

i am confused is this going back to what that nutter shebby singh said "if steve kean looses 3 games he will be sacked" i.e this is a warning or what. whatever the case i think a collapse of their title challenge is imminant and these talks have made things worse rather than better i.m.o

I hope Venky's rip the club apart and then sell them to another bunch of clueless billionaire's.

Top of the league and 13k on - it's as if Jack Walker never existed.

They're mental! Going down, fans hate him, we'll stick with him but not spend any money. Wait to get relegated then buy an £8m striker, secon din the league then look at sacking him?! Madness.

Surprised Gary Flitcroft's name hasn't been more prominent.

He's injured, I think.

@GrahamJones_MP: Reliable source says Kean sacked last night. Refused to go. Bizarely came in & took training today. Confusion all round. #brfc

[jaffka]

Even more confusion, the mad house continues.

Maybe the conspiracy theories about Kean part owning the club were true?

Suggest that source wasn't so reliable....

[jaffka]

too many chiefs in charge of the club, which one calls the shots the sister or one of the two brothers?

Is that that Graham Jones MP member for Hyndburn, the second assassin on the grassy knoll, the polonium poisoner of Litvinenko, and the fourteenth bloke not to walk on the moon: Him, that one?

*Breaking* Singh has told BBC Radio Lancashire that it has been decided that Steve Kean will remain as Blackburn Rovers manager, shock horror story. *Broken*

[BWFC_Insane]

This is truly brilliantly inept in many many ways.

When asked if Kean would be in charge in the long term, global advisor Shebby Singh told BBC Sport: "No comment."

Singh has admitted that the matter could have been handled better and said the situation at the club "gets worse by the day".

Speaking to BBC Radio Lancashire, he said: "Unfortunately, the momentum [of the speculation about Kean] built up so fast it was quite difficult to step in and react.

"We have people heading up different departments whose responsibility it is to step in but unfortunately it escalated at such a fast pace that before you know what happened, it hits you in the face.

"It should not have been allowed to escalate like that but it did and the situation gets worse by the day."

Nice vote of confidence there. And it sounds like an incredibly well run club.

I'd also suggest that if you don't want speculation about the manager you stop saying (as is in the article) that the situation is "being assessed" and that the club is "in a bad place" and replying "no comment" when asked about the manager's future.

That is PR 101 there, and they can have it for free!

[plymouth wanderer]

And with all that going on

They are still better than us
