Blackburn Rovers admitted in court that they are a football club ?out of control? and being run by a renegade managing director whom they claim they are powerless to suspend.

The club?s lawyers conceded that the latest chapter in their efforts to avoid paying their sacked manager Henning Berg ?2.25m in wages was a ?shambles,? but pleaded that their Indian owners were struggling to wrest control from India and at the mercy of MD Derek Shaw who is ?in de facto control of the club and continuing to act without authority and his self-interest.? But the Championship club, who are trying to prove that Shaw was acting without authority by agreeing a contract which entitles Berg to payment of his three-year contract in full, and not just 12 months, were pilloried in another day of deeply damaging High Court evidence.
