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

It did the last time we looked

Disagree.

[Blue n White Rover]

We've always got Souness. Cheer up!

[j166429]

Kenny Dalglish?

[John]

Joe Royle?

[tony gale's mic]

Kenny Dalglish?

He's managed a Premier League team so it's not him.

[RibbleValleyRover]

I don't think we can say its bleak or looking good until we actually know who the frontrunners are.

[tony gale's mic]

Joe Royle?

He's managed in the Premier League...

Plus do you think we'd seriously go after Joe Royle?!

[LeChuck]

Mike Newell...

[John]

I thought one of them had been there and done that, therefore must be experienced.

[Hughesy]

Craig Levein or whatever he's called - dont want him either

[philipl]

The process has scarcely started.

There is a huge amount of talent out there which could easily come into play. Very little of it is English but that doesn't matter- our last English Manager was Brian Kidd.

Blackburn Rovers is one of the world's plum managerial jobs.

I'll tell you something....the disappointment at losing Hughes has quickly turned into excitement!! Cant wait to find who these guys are! the way Nicko is carrying on about them is very encouraging!

Mark who?

[John]

Do you want to name that talent Philip before I slit my wrists....?

[Hughesy]

Looking bleak? A team that finished 7th in the strongest league in the world, the richest in the world. Strong squad with at least £10m before sales to spend.

Im sure we will have many top class candidates

[Lurid Coat]

Nicko's been around the block a few times - I doubt he'd be thrilled by the prospects of Joe Royle, Dennis Wise or Gordon Strachan as the next Rovers manager.

[tony gale's mic]

Our people are:

Free agents

and

Have played/coached but NOT managed in the Premier League.

So noone with a current job, and noone who has previously managed in the Premier League.

I know I've laboured this point but I can't think of anyone but Shearer for the first (British) candidate. If they've never managed it'd have to be a Rovers hero to even get the board to consider them.

I'm sure I'll be proved wrong though...

[Bazzanotsogreat]

ignore

[den]

Van Gaal?

Bazza - happy Birthday to you and your twin Brother Bazzaisgreat

Just seen it now!

[EwoodGlory]

Shearer

Coppell

Can't think of who else.

Did nico say that the two people in question had definitely not managed in the premier league or just that they had premier league experience?

[tony gale's mic]

Shearer

Coppell

Can't think of who else.

They are a free agent and have never managed in the Premier League...which rules out Coppell.

Err, I mean Bazzathegreat.

[Hughesy]

Mike Newell, Simon Grayson, Dennis Wise, Gus Poyet, Zola, Hendry, Shearer - just to name a few

[John]

Will they have coaching staff as good as Hughes. The players really looked forward to come into work every day.

Training ground will have to be re-designed inside, it is all things Sparky has introduced. We really had a top class set up there.
