[Archived] Nicko's Thread Part 3

[frosty]

How likely is one of these two names to get the job?

[Bennisfromheaven]

Neither candidate has managed in the Premier League. Either a player or an assistant.

I'm thinking..

1. Shearer (which other possible Brits could be in the frame who have played but not managed in the Premier League?!)

2. Deschamps - nicko might not have been a fan of his self-publicising style but I think like others he'd see him as a good candidate for Rovers.

Or maybe I'm very wrong...

Tony adams!?!

[Tango]

Ignore me!

[tony gale's mic]

To be honest I can't say I'm excited about Candidate A, whether it be Adams, Shearer etc...if they havent managed in the Premier League they either have only managed in lower leagues and had to leave their job, or havent managed at all...given the lack of British managers which manage abroad.

Candidate B there's a lot more possibilities...

[Craigman]

Could option A be David Platt ?

[Dunnfc]

1. Gary Johnson.

2. Marcelinho, Landrup.

[RibbleValleyRover]

Could option A be David Platt ?

Platt did ok for the England under 21's but didn't do a great job at Forest or Sampdoria.

Could option A be David Platt ?

you been on the cider ?

[tony gale's mic]

1. Gary Johnson.

No Premier League experience..

[rossyste]

stuart pearce tick any boxes ??

[S15]

Yeah, the ''Dont employ him'' box.

[tony gale's mic]

stuart pearce tick any boxes ??

He's managed in the Premier League so he crosses off one of the boxes.

[Blue n White Rover]

Strachan (dont know if he's managed in the premier league)

Houlier

[Dunnfc]

No Premier League experience..

He hasen't Latvia, Yeovil, Kettering, Cambridge United, Bristol City.

[bats]

Strachan managed southampton

[Bennisfromheaven]

Heres hoping Tugay turns out to be the next Fatih Terim!!!!!

[tony gale's mic]

He hasen't Latvia, Yeovil, Kettering, Cambridge United, Bristol City.

No...our man has Premier League experience but hasn't managed. So it's not him..

Shearer is the only viable option for person A mentioned so far...

[j166429]

Dennis Wise ?...

[S15]

Are we back on ''Guess The Question?''

[tony gale's mic]

Dennis Wise ?...

Not a free agent

Doubt he'd excite nicko.

I remember nicko being excited at the thought of Shearer though....I shudder at the thought myself.

[gumboots]

So what happened with the Ronaldo bid with a twist. Did you work it out or has it just gone out of people's thoughts for a while as you try to work out the Rovers mystery candidates?

[Dunnfc]

No...our man has Premier League experience but hasn't managed. So it's not him..

Shearer is the only viable option for person A mentioned so far...

Yes but Gary Johnson had a coaching role at Watford didnt he?

[j166429]

Not a free agent

I remember nicko being excited at the thought of Shearer though....I shudder at the thought myself.

True.. just a desperate guess. As for Shearer once of a day I would have been happy about the possibility of him being manager, but he doesn't really inspire me a great deal

[tony gale's mic]

Yes but Gary Johnson had a coaching role at Watford didnt he?

Director of their youth academy...I wouldn't call that Premier League experience...

[SIMON GARNERS 194]

Hate to say this folks but its looking ruddy bleak managerial wise!
