At the end of the day no approach will be made before and until Hughes resigns. The club won't even tip off an agent but that isn't to say agents who fancy their chances aren't out there looking for candidates.

This is the 20th best paid club job in the world we are talking about.

The club will certainly receive at least 100 expressions of interest of which 50ish will be worthwhile looking into.

Only if those don't present enough of the sorts of profiles the club is looking for or there is a particular sort of candidate the Board particularly wants will they go out and look themselves.

I would guess that some who want to be considered are non-obvious so they have/will make sure a price is quoted for themselves.

Just because BFS may come here doesn't mean we'll hoof it. We have better players than Bolton did or arguably Newcastle.

I did notice us hoofing it ourselves in the latter half of the season so maybe BFS isn't too dissimilar to Hughesy in his tactics.

If he comes we'll hoof. It's the only tactic he knows...

Spurs fans are loving whats happening to us apparently. Calling us a small sh1t club, our manager finally going to a big club, us doing a Leeds and them doing a raid on our players. :angry:

And they finished where last season?

If we're a small **** club we couldn't possibly have any players that would be of interest to them! :lol:

Not a direct quote ADB but was BFS the manager at Newcastle when they came to Ewood early December?

I know we won 3-1 after two pieces of brilliance by Bents and a tap in for Tugs, but I thought they were unlucky and played us off the park if my memory serves me well.

They played well, and exposed our weaknesses, their tactics that day were spot on, and though they were defensively dreadful, I thought we were lucky to come away with anything from the game !

My memory of that game is a little different. The first half we played their game and it was a dreary aerial battle from both sides. At half time we reckoned Rovers needed to keep it down and we'd paste them - which is exactly what we did.

There's no denying that the gum-chewing arse-faced winker's football can be effective at times but would you want to watch it every other weekend?

Not to mention the fact that BRFC is currently the seventh best club in England, whose top flight is easily the richest in the world.

Which is why the board (or specifically whoever does the hiring) shouldn't be limited to British managers this time (may the best person available get the job, regardless of passport). It is also why the club shouldn't be looking at potential managers with no managerial experience (Shearer, but that doesn't rule out other assistant/coaching positions). The club should be able to attract and appoint a manager with a pedigree at European or international level. The team has more quality than the last time a manager was needed (particularly up front) and is not an unattractive proposition under the threat of relegation.

aLARDyce NO

McLoser NO - NEVER

INCE POSSIBLE

BILIC MAVERICK!

NEWELL & SHEARER - now your talking.

NEWELLSHEARER when said out loud sounds like New Welsh Era - which is what I thought we had with Sparky.....Its Fate!!!!

Please Rovers Board, dont sell this club short - I feel sick to the stomach that we could end up with one of the 'scrap heap' managers.

BIG SAM, God No!

I think the season ticket will be going back if he takes over.

I for one wont be sitting watching his style of big boot football next season.

A lot people are making out that we've been playing wonderful football under Hughes. Well, we haven't. A lot of his early period was spent scrapping with 4-5-1, and I can't say it got a whole lot better (the Bellamy season was probably the most entertaining).

Just because BFS may come here doesn't mean we'll hoof it. We have better players than Bolton did or arguably Newcastle.

I did notice us hoofing it ourselves in the latter half of the season so maybe BFS isn't too dissimilar to Hughesy in his tactics.

Agree with this.

I remember Allardyce getting annoyed with people who were against him getting the England job because of his tactics. He was basically saying that he was just getting the best out of his Bolton side, whereas if he had better players he wouldn't play that style. Like you said, not too dissimilar to Hughes in that respect.

There's no way players like Okocha and Diouf would have been successful it was all long ball anyway, they have to play a fair amount on the ground to get the best out of those players.

I haven't really given this much thought, but two contrasting and potentially interesting names that spring to mind are Bilic and Gary Johnson at Bristol City. However Bilic wouldn't leave until after the Euro's and Johnson hasn't even managed in the Premiership as of yet. Both look extremely talented managers though and deserve a crack at a Premiership club for different reasons.

i would like to see chris coleman and shearer, two former rovers, coleman has a good rekord at fulham with a small budget he stil got players like bullard, saha, boa morte and diop. He also got real sociedad promoted and then got sacked for reasons people dont no.

and shearer because as a pundit he always come across like he knows a few things, and the fact he is obviously a fan favourite plus two fingers up at the barcodes aswel.

I wondered when someone would state a liking for coleman
