So which other manager will fancy a 10 game probationary period at Blackburn or Forest?

Yep, he's gone. On Sky Sports now too. I wonder what Jordan Rhodes must make of it all.

Berg will get back in time for the full Norwegian skiing season with a multi £m payoff.
Not the end of the world.
Blackburn have a strong squad, but have simply been awful under Berg.

"The World of Football has gone mad" What Dion Dublin quoted on FiveLive yesterday after the news broke that O'Driscoll had been fired. It has certainly gone made at some clubs. Many rich foreign owners from the Middle & Far East see owning a UK Football Club as some kind of essential, must have trophy status. When it comes to what is required for the everyday running & stability & to make a football club successful in the long term, they just don't 'get it'. Many expect instant success to follow a spell of big money being thrown about. As we all know, it doesn't always, or indeed usually, work out like that.
The news of Berg getting the boot isn't quite so surprising: 1: Because Rovers have been in freefall ever since he took over from Steve Kean and 2: Rovers are a badly run club that has resembled a Madhouse for a long time. Therefore, this latest sacking should not really have come as a total shock.

Hows that ?
They were comfortable mid-table in the Premier League under Allardyce when the Venkeys took over. They promptly sacked him and installed the disaster that was Steve Kean, relegation ensues the following season but they stick with him until finally the results become untenable, so they bring in Berg and give him a grand total of 10 games to turn it round, before binning him as well.
I didn't see Blackburn fans asking for any of that.

Like any sane footballer, he's probably wondering why the hell he even considered signing for Blackburn Rovers in the first place. So, so wrong for so many footballing and non-footballing reasons alike.

What I find funny is how agressively their fans hounded out Kean for doing a horrid job, only to get a worse manager in!
I don't think either were massively fairly treated either by the fans or the club. In the other hand both did a shit job and were fired. Not a massive shock at a club where expectations are so high.
