roversmum Posted June 17, 2008 Posted June 17, 2008 Okay. Enough. I'm off to play dominoes with a group of lady friends for the afternoon. It's about as much excitement as I can cope with at the moment. See you all later

broadsword Posted June 17, 2008 Posted June 17, 2008 Maybe the selection process boils down to a game of dominoes with the short-listed candidates?
gumboots Posted June 17, 2008 Posted June 17, 2008 You're just being silly now surely? well, bob, the way things are going I'm not sure. it was meant to be facetious but there's a bit of me that is really afraid so mocks what i fear.
b12_simon Posted June 17, 2008 Posted June 17, 2008 Are you? Sure you're not off for an interview with John Williams? Finally a candidate we can all get behind! Roversmum's blue and white army!
DannyKeg Posted June 17, 2008 Posted June 17, 2008 Hi I’m new on this forum, although I was a regular on BRFCS many years ago before poacher Lee turned gamekeeper. I’m a little concerned by the noble scribe’s morbid interest in HTC. I live in NL and the general feeling over here is that he is not really up to it. He was the manger at my local club Vitesse for a while, but didn’t impress (Koeman was much better) and he also played for and managed the local amateur team F.C. Rheden. At Ajax they though he was terrible. I notice that someone has copied a comment from me onto one of the other forums that I posted on the LET message board. As I say, he is at best a nr 2. and a coach for the strikers at that. I know JW is supposed to be on the Continent today, and it may well be Amsterdam, but I hope that Rovers have already decided on the new manger, hopefully Laudrup and are now interviewing possible assistants e.g. Ince, McClaren, Ten Cate ??

Ten Cate is wildly more popular that the mooted alternatives (Allardyce, McClaren, Ince), but hopefully JW is in the process of pulling a rabbit out of the hat as we speak... Bilic? Laudrup? Advocaat? A.N. Other? Please give us something Nicko?!?
Blue n White Rover Posted June 17, 2008 Posted June 17, 2008 Has Ronald Koeman been mentioned, he might be the mystery candidate. Last I heard he was sacked by Valencia, dont know if he's been in a job since.

hawkiiz Posted June 17, 2008 Posted June 17, 2008 OK, so we've got Blackburn Boro, Spurs, Liverpool, Bolton, Villa, Newcastle and Everton. Anymore guesses? I think I can name about 12 more teams who it could be. Rosenborg?
promoted2001 Posted June 17, 2008 Posted June 17, 2008 Nicko's apparently off round airports today so i wouldn't expect any news till much later in the day

I quite agree ten cate is nobody's real number 1 not even Nicko who has been pushing him only because he agrees with large numbers of fans here (though not all) that the rest of the supposed candidates are not good enough or not the best we can get.

rebelmswar Posted June 17, 2008 Posted June 17, 2008 Second coming of Jesus to take the Blackburn hotseat? He can walk on water but he can not make Bentley happy enough to stay.
Blue n White Rover Posted June 17, 2008 Posted June 17, 2008 Jus t want a quick opinion on the board members. Under Souness our main priority was to survive in the Premiership. However, under Hughes our main target was to get in to Europe. So, I was just wondering what you targets would be next season. Would you be happy if we survived or disappointed we didnt make Europe?

Survival and then the season after Europe.

In my opinion we are looking at a period of stability, new manager coming in and possibly a number of players going out. I would expect us to finish around the mid table area possibly lower half of the table, not being part of the relegation struggle but at the same time not competing for the european places. 12th-14th maybe.
RibbleValleyRover Posted June 17, 2008 Posted June 17, 2008 What about Elie Baup? Anyone fancy him? Don't know anything about him

But like the Murphy's, I'm not bitter.
