And who else interested in the Rovers job has been in two Champions League finals in the past three seasons?

Help me here, I'm struggling.

Like I said I'm not against him coming, but look how much success Brian Kidd had as assistant at United. Would definitely prefer him to most of the candidates but I have a bit of a soft spot for Laudrup - young, hungry, has been managing in a top league with a similar sized club, has a reputation for playing attractive football etc etc...

I wouldn,t mind boxing Ben coming if only to give Mccarthy a good kick up the backside, Laudrup also would be excellant but the one i'd choose if he was an option is Bilic I think there is just something about him.

Agreed. I know we may all be getting ourselves excited off of a small tip from Nicko, but at this moment in time we should really be pulling out all of the stops to get this guy.

He ticks all of the boxes, literally all of them.

If he is interested then there should be no reason why we shouldn't get him. If we choose instead to go for Ince or Shearer I wouldn't be too happy. It's all well and good saying that we need to take our time, but I feel that the longer we take the weaker we will look and the more some of our players may want to leave.

If he's not interested then we can move on, but serious talks need to be had within the next couple of days.

I like Laudrup a lot too, but Ten Cate has worked here and been around. Laudrup has done well briefly at a couple of clubs. I wouldn't mind either, but I like the idea of a Dutch Stan the Man. ;) ...with medals obviously!

How much contact exactly has there been?

There must have been some if he has expressed an interest, but was it just a simple feeler?

Have we shown any interest in Bilic Nicko?

I would be absolutely over the moon if we ended up with Ten Cate, Bilic or Laudrup - in that order of preference.

He has applied.

:rover: ten cate no thanks :brfcsmilie:

Can't argue with that.

Let's start a chant.

"EX PLAYER EX PLAYER EX PLAYER" (insert name for whichever vastly unqualified person the majority would like to fill the role).

Off on a tangent here...could our Norwegian chums tell me a bit more about Olivier Occean? Is he any good? What level could he play in England? Are Lillestrom still playing?

That would be a real coup if we got Henk. Just think of his scouting network and his knowledge of top players from the likes of Holland. Shearer would be the emotional choice but this guy would be solid!

May I ask why?

Occean is a half-decent striker. Big strong guy, reasonable pace for his size, unspectacular though. Lillestrøm has been awful all season, and recently sacked their manager - last night they managed to lose 1-0 to Eidsvold/Turn, who I believe is in the 2nd division.

I wouldn't want to buy Occean to any Championship sides, but given his physical nature he could probably just make it in that league.

:rover: i would not be happy with a MANAGER who is prepared to play 2nd fiddle to avram grant,a guy obviously more intrested in money than football :brfcsmilie:

Very helpful. Are there are any more games coming up?

I'd rather have Billy Occean. I've heard he's good when the going gets tough!

I'm just happy to give you a helping hand back here Nicko.

Olivier Occean is a rock-solid striker, but he lacks the goals.

I think he reminds me a lot about Jason Roberts, but he is a lot better in the air than JR.

Considering other Norwegian players in the english league system I think he may be able to play for a struggling championship side.

Lillestrøm is still playing, but they are really struggling this year. Yesterday they got knocked out of the norwegian cup by a side from League Two.

Lillestrom is playing my side, Aalesund, this Sunday at 17.00

Championship player at most, think he is overrated, definitly not premier league materiale... Lillestrøm are still playing, but they are having a very bad start to the season, currently on a qualifying place and just lost i the Norwegian cup to a side from a lower division. is there any clubs interrest in Occean?
