Blackburn's Shebby's chicken-farmer bosses sack 3rd Rovers manager this season

[Confuseous]

A short statement from the club read: 'Blackburn Rovers FC can confirm that Michael Appleton has been relieved of his duties as manager along with assistant manager Ashley Westwood, first team coach Darren Moore and head of senior recruitment Luke Dowling.'

Blackburn, without a win in eight games in all competitions, are 18th in the npower Championship table and just four points above the relegation zone.

Appleton left Blackpool to join Blackburn in the new year after just 65 days in charge at Bloomfield Road.

During 67 days in the Rovers job, Appleton won four, drew five and lost six of his 15 matches in charge.

In total, Appleton was the fifth man placed in charge of first-team affairs at Ewood Park this season.
Steve Kean's turbulent reign ended at the end of September, with Eric Black taking over on a temporary basis until former Rovers defender Henning Berg was appointed on November 1.

Wayne Wild, the co-chairman of supporters group the Rovers Trust, said in a statement: 'News of Michael Appleton's sacking ought to come as a surprise, but sadly it does not.

'This is just the latest in a long line of incomprehensible and ill-thought out decisions that go back to the very start of the Venky's ownership of Blackburn.

They learning from Roman...not happy with manager, just sack.

Ah Neh owners not happy that Blackburn can't get promoted to Premier League this season, and losing to Millwall in the FA Cup was the last straw.

Blackburn needs to get rid of those stupid Indian chicken farmers who know nothing about football, both as a business and as a sport.

Go and invest in cricket... that shitty sport which you love.

Every one of Roman's sacking got legitimate reason... sometimes he did it reluctantly. And Chelsea had won lots of trophies.

Blackburn's squad lineup is not stablilized, Venkys is stingy with transfers and they want to do a 'revolving door' system with managers?

Hope Blackburn gets relegated to League Two, so those clueless Ah Nehs sell the football club to some worthier owner.

Any chicken as parting gift for him?
