[Archived] Nicko's Thread Part 3

[Ricky]

Is that the same Ancelotti who most definetly wasn't a contender for the post according to you Nicko

[Eddie]

thank you dellenisert, you're my new hero.

[Guest fernhurstblue]

BFS spotted on the Kings Road.

or was that Kings Road? (local joke for blackburn residents)

[MCMC1875]

Coppell in the Fernhurst.

1055: Derby manager Paul Jewell has rubbished speculation linking him with a move to Blackburn. He says: "This is a huge club and I have got a massive job to do here." Rovers fans you can all breath a sigh of relief!

From the teamtalk live updates, thank god. I would love Ince or Bilic.

He wasn't...until Scolari let Abramovich down. He has support in there, but that was in the areas where Scolari was seen as the 'sexy' ticket.

The sensible ones - Kenyon and Arnesen - have wanted Sparky for quite a long time [in this process, that is.]

[dellinsert]

Quick question though Nicko, why would City want Allardyce?

[gazsimm]

I can see that you're remaining open minded about this!

Have a think about it....how many times has John Williams let us down? he got us Souness, and then went for Hughes when their were bigger names wanting the job.

Whoever is appointed will be the best man for the job. end of.

I am being very open minded about this i just want Mr Williams to apoint the right manager and make sure Rovers move forward and don't go backwards

He was coming out of the Navi

[gazsimm]

Coppell in the Fernhurst.

lets hope they lock him in there as well

are you one of those whose been suggesting Shearer and Newell?

[nicko]

Not being awkward or anything Nicko, but could you sum up this mornings gossip for me?

Ive read the thread but still confuses me

CHELSEA - Scolari has missed the deadline to day he wants to be considered, so they will make [or have made] approaches for Sparky and Ancelotti.

MAN CITY - Sweating. If Sparky gets Chelsea offer they may look daft. Big Sam is putting on make-up and fluttering his eyelashes at them

BLACKBURN ROVERS - Thumbing through copies of Rothmans for names and numbers...

By the way, Paul Jewell had to put out the Rovers denial because two players he wanted to sign for Derby were worried he was leaving. It is not a case of being big-headed.

[bob fleming]

Coppell in the Fernhurst.

Gazza in the Ewood Arms. It wasn't easy but he's in.

Nicko does get some things wrong sometimes , we are all human

[nicko]

Quick question though Nicko, why would City want Allardyce?

He is very good at clubs with limited budgets and has a good way with short-term foreign signings...only half joking

[MCMC1875]

Roy Evans in the Infirmary!

[gazsimm]

are you one of those whose been suggesting Shearer and Newell?

Shearer yes with an experienced assistant manager next him, that would put bums on seats at ewood and he would be able to attract some good players as well

[nicko]

I will sue.

The point is that the Chelsea 'officials' want Sparky and are bursting blood vessels to get him. Roman - and maybe some of his chums - have 'bigger' ideas which is why they f@rted around with Big Phul Scolari. Now that camp quite like the Ancelotti idea.

If you are Sparky that might be of some concern, but the prize is so great that's it is worth fighting for.

Its not all about bums on seats mate...

do you honestly think shearer would be able to attract really good players when he's taken us to the championship?

How you can dismiss coppell so readily for not being good enough and want someone with NO experience, who has shown an open distaste for this club, is beyond me...

[Blue n White Rover]

MAN CITY - Sweating. If Sparky gets Chelsea offer they may look daft. Big Sam is putting on make-up and fluttering his eyelashes at them

What if Sparky does'nt get the Chelsea job? Does that mean he is certain to go to City or is there a chance he might stay?

[gazsimm]

who you going to sue Nicko?

[gbax]

Nicko, sorry to ask again, but can the JW and the board (is it something that is done) put a clause in Hughes's move away so he can't raid Rovers for players for a set length of time?

Cheers

Shearer will be able to attract players to the club yes, because he is a well known person in football. I am not saying just give him the job, he will need an experience guy a long side him for it to work.

He has never once said he does not like Blackburn, so with that statement i think you are way of the mark

[Eddie]

Probably not.

Plus why would we do that. If he goes to Chelsea or City with big bucks then I'd welcome the interest. The only one I'd really fear losing would be Santa Cruz, but at least he will command a huge fee, so what is there to be worried about? Does he want to splash 6/7 on Samba? Put up the 15 for Bentley? 6 for Nelsen? Anyone he takes we'd be able to force top price out of those clubs, so we would be ok.
