I believe - only believe as I have it from one source that's all - that Rovers met Leo Beenhakker, the veteran Dutchman who is in charge of Poland. His team went out on Monday night. He has a good CV but is older than you might want.

DON'T bet on this, it may not be right but I think it is. Anyway, I can't believe he would get the job.

The only interest I have in this is to see how many times it appears in other outlets.

I wasn't going to say, but it stops guessing about wrong names. That builds up unnecessary optimism.

There is and will not be a change in Shearer's stance. And it's probably better that way.

By the way, David O'Leary applied too...I don't know at what stage he was 'cut.'

Laudrup's odds are shortening, I wonder if he is a pundit for Danish TV ?

I do hope you're right Danny. I would love to take some money off Paddy Power for a change! I still reckon it's between Sam and Incey though.

A man with 36 years experience who has managed Holland, Real Madrid and Ajax (amongst many others)?

He's to the top of the queue as far as I'm concerned, and (most importantly) another barrier between BFFS, McClaren and the manager's office!

Probably as soon as they recognised the writing on the outside of the envelope.

If you're right about Beenhakker, you're also right about what a poor name it was.

Why on earth bother trailing out there to interview him?

Maybe JW has a "dream team" of Beenhakker and Ince in mind?

From Beenhakker's Wiki site:

"Because he has been active in Spanish football he has the nickname "Don Leo". He is famous for his fondness of cigars and his dry humor."

Just when I thought I was out....

:D

We'd have to run out to the Godfather music.

His age makes him an interesting one, maybe if we appointed him along with a younger candidate? I'm not as against him as I am some of the other names.

Wake up guys, it is obviously a manager currently still involved in the Euros- no way would Gross do anything but fly to see the Rovers if he were interested as he'd have no excuse.

I am afraid it is Dominech for nicko to be so underwhelmed.

Mmmm, wondering if it is Gross. nicko said the name was really bad well here Gross can be used as bad or disgusting, a play on word by nicko the riddler perhaps???

I can't believe we'd fly out to talk to Beenhakker at this stage. Poland were knocked out Monday, there's no reason, if genuinely interested he couldn't get to us and if he is behind the other three candidates, I don't see why we'd waste our time making the effort.

If Nicko's not even sure who we talked to yesterday then basically we nor anyone else have no idea either which fits in pretty well with how our previous business has been conducted.

Leo Beenhakker! :blink:

if (AND IT IS A BIG IF!/ AS NIKO INFERS ) that's true, JW has lost all credabilty, with me (has dwindled by him even granting interviews with FAT SAM and steve mcc).

i'd take ince over them!

I'm still clinging to the hope that the media are being thrown off the scent, so rovers can concentrate on credible candidates. fingers crossed! :unsure:

Why can't we just have a good manager (say laudrup), i mean for gods sake we finished 7th in arguably the top league in the world. Rather than a green haired goblin (beenhaker), a wally with a brolly or a wannabe eastenders character (BFS) :angry:
