    The owners at Blackburn are clearly nutty and I don't for a minute condone the way they've gone about hiring and firing managers, but how can you do a job for only 57 days, not very well I may add, and be owed £2.25 million? No wonder football clubs are in such debt if these are the type of compensation packages that have to be paid to failed managers. I know it goes against the grain to stick up for the barmy goings on at Blackburn, but that's just not right.

    I did a job for about 57 days once. I wasn't very good at it either. I think I got about twenty quid when I left for owed holiday money. I reckon that's about how much Henning Berg was worth.

    If you started now, you could probably last a lot longer than 57 days before they realised that you were just as bad. There is an entire pre-season to go through, so you might make 100days and double the payout :)

    Just proves what amateurs the current owners at Blackburn are. Berg would have chopped his arms off for a 6 month contract, they give him 2,5 years.

    Never understood how he got the job in the first place, they can't have researched much on his managerial record in Norway...
