BLACKBURN is looking for its fourth manager this season after firing Michael Appleton just 67 days into his tenure at the second-tier English club.
Appleton joins Steve Kean and Henning Berg in departing Rovers this campaign, with the club languishing in 18th place in the 24-team League Championship in its first season after relegation from the English Premier League. An established top-flight club when Indian poultry giant Venky's completed a takeover in November 2010, it is now a mess and in danger of dropping into the third tier. Rovers said yesterday that Appleton has been "relieved of his duties" along with three other members of his backroom staff.
