nicko Posted June 11, 2008 Posted June 11, 2008 was that the ten o clock news nicko? Half of it. The good news...Henk Ten Cate IS on the list. Colours nailed to the mast - I hope he gets it.
thenodrog Posted June 11, 2008 Posted June 11, 2008 Fine. Cutting ones nose off springs to mind. I wish I could believe that but it's rubbish and we all know it. You and others who share your overblown indignation will be viewing from the nearest pub showing Al Jazerra or whatever and then rushing on here to comment on the match. All you BFS haters (who thought AS was ready and waiting to return like some prodigal son) out there still gonna stop coming in punishment of the BRFC board if we sign him now that it's official the Shearer has bottled out? Williams and the board can only deal with interested parties can't they?
Brownie Posted June 11, 2008 Posted June 11, 2008 was that the ten o clock news nicko? Nicko said he had a bit of news This is more of a bombshell.
Blue n White Rover Posted June 11, 2008 Posted June 11, 2008 Am I the only one on here thats happy with Shearer turning us down?
Anti-Dingle-Brigade Posted June 11, 2008 Posted June 11, 2008 Half of it. The good news...Henk Ten Cate IS on the list. Colours nailed to the mast - I hope he gets it. All together now. HENK TEN CATES BLUE AND WHITE ARMY!
gumboots Posted June 11, 2008 Posted June 11, 2008 At least this wil make gumboots a little happier.we know she wants Ten Cate as manager,like me.Ten Cates blue and white army. And how do you know that when I don't even know myself who I'd like to see as manager. I can't see any obvious jump out at you candidate. I have always felt that jobs find people not people find jobs, so somewhere there must be the right man for our job at the moment and when appointed he'll just fit.
tony gale's mic Posted June 11, 2008 Posted June 11, 2008 I know nicko has not advised us to stick money on based on his tips, but even without his tips the current odds on ten Cate are too good to miss! Stick a tenner on, its worth it surely...
nicko Posted June 11, 2008 Posted June 11, 2008 If you don't have the bottle to lose out in an interview 'competition' you are no good ass a manager. Shearer just marked his card...good and proper. Funny, someone in the game who I respect tipped he would do that at the crunch.
RibbleValleyRover Posted June 11, 2008 Posted June 11, 2008 Half of it. The good news...Henk Ten Cate IS on the list. Colours nailed to the mast - I hope he gets it. I hope to god he does, i really do
thenodrog Posted June 11, 2008 Posted June 11, 2008 TEN CATE blue white army no shearer then ten cate has to be next best option along with ince. forget bfs. his name jsut dosent seem to fill me with enthusiasm Seems "Henk Ten Cate's Ten Bob Army" goes well and might be more appropriate. Go down especially well if it's alternated with "Small town in Europe"
Hughesy Posted June 11, 2008 Posted June 11, 2008 Dont feel we have lost out on much - just feel we have missed out on the Buzz that shearer would of brought back into the club and the fans. Henk Ten Cate please MR WILLIAMS
cn_barlow Posted June 11, 2008 Posted June 11, 2008 This is good news then. In my opinion Shearer would have been a disaster. i will be delighted with Ten Cate I will be gutted with any of the others
Esulx Posted June 11, 2008 Posted June 11, 2008 I still think Dick Advocaat would be a good option. Wages might be a bit high though.
nicko Posted June 11, 2008 Posted June 11, 2008 so more news today or is that it nicko? I think that might be enough... Mind you Big Sam is in for an interview tomorrow. Don't worry he is NOT past the post here.
hovis boy Posted June 11, 2008 Posted June 11, 2008 gutted that shearer tuned us down, give me a break, he was only asked if he was interested in being on the shortlist.So he turned that down,good, alan's time at Rovers ended when he signed for Newcastle,he has no managerial experience of any description so why let him cut his teeth at our club ,any success of any description and he's off back to geordieland. Far to many fans on this board letting hearts rule minds.
Hughesy Posted June 11, 2008 Posted June 11, 2008 I hope we get to sing "Weve only got 10 Men" every game next season
Atomicrover Posted June 11, 2008 Posted June 11, 2008 Rovers Play Breda in Home pre-season friendly....guess who managed Breda 2000-2003?
hawkiiz Posted June 11, 2008 Posted June 11, 2008 what i dont get/pisses me off is how JW said "we have 40 applications and will contact them soon". if shearer turned us down, then he probably did not APPLY for the job did he? i hate being misinformed so are the other 40 "applications" just a list of people the board will ask to do the job also then?
SIMON GARNERS 194 Posted June 11, 2008 Posted June 11, 2008 Nicko, was the rumour about Mancini being interested just hot air? Big possibility now its going to be one of either the bubble gum chewing Walrus or McClown. FFS COME ON DOWN HENK DEN CATE!
Ben-2000 Posted June 11, 2008 Posted June 11, 2008 gutted that shearer tuned us down, give me a break, Yes gutted, doesn't mean you have to be though so give ME a break... alan's time at Rovers ended when he signed for Newcastle and with that statement nobody would ever manage a club they had played for and left.
philipl Posted June 11, 2008 Posted June 11, 2008 I always felt shearer was the weakest personality amongst the big name candidates but he has proved me wrong by having the gumption to pull out clean and early. Probably still a very good list. I guess BFS will set a good benchmark tomorrow for the others to beat and I expect one or more will beat it sometime next week. BFS will be extremely professional and superbly well prepared- of that I am absolutely certain and his pitch will be carefully aimed to hit all the hot buttons of the Rovers' board. But it doesn't mean he will get the job ahead of a ten Cate, a Laudrup, an Advocaat or a Bilic. The wild cards now are the two lower division boys- Ince and Martinez.
