Venky's Late Christmas Gift



Ever since taking over control of Blackburn Rovers, the Indian chicken giants Venky's has made a mockery of a once proud and sustainable Premier League club--reducing them to a mid-table Championship side through poor and ill-advised decision making.

The dysfunction continued on Wednesday with the sacking of manager Henning Berg after only 57 days in charge. Ok, results have been poor, with Berg only winning once in 10 matches in the Championship--collecting a mere six points as Blackburn sit 17th in the table. But, the decision to bring in the former Rovers player was risky, and expecting promotion from a manager with limited experience at this level was even worse.


Assistant manager Eric Black, first team coach Iain Brunskill and goalkeeping coach Bobby Mimms have all left Ewood Park as well.

Now Venky's is in search of their fourth manager of the season,  and the prospect of bouncing straight back up to the Premier League looks uncertain.

Venky's should stick with what they know best--chicken, and leave the football to people who know what they're doing.
