Ince- dissapointed

Laudrup- excited

Bilic- BANGIN

Who cares if hes expensive man, you get what you pay for. I also think that the appointment of Bilic will help push a take over through. He's become a very renound manager over the last month... plus he looks like a pirate.

[John]

Its Bilic, just said on sky.

[Iceman]

Maybe Staunton wil return.

[Blue n White Rover]

The Ten Cate dream lives on!!!! :D

Ten Cate's Blue White Army!!!!!!

[Anti-Dingle-Brigade]

Its Bilic, just said on sky.

What did they say?

[Iceman]

So if russia lose tonite,does that mean hiddink would be in the race?or if the dutch lose,does that mean van basten could be the man?Good grief,this is turning into a merry go round.i wonder who the clown is,coz this is turning into a joke.

[roverfanuk]

I hear - no more - that someone else is being considered apart from Ince. This guy is very expensive but there have been talks with him over the past 24 hours...but I don't know who it is.

There are also things developping behind the scenes on the takeover side, but I don't know the significance of this.

So it's a bit of a melting pot.

I'm not sure why Rovers have not announced Ince after getting approval to name him...I know they are slow but this is ridiculous.

Ok, this is very interesting.

This morning a friend of mine told me Rovers were talking to Laudrup, Ince and Didier Deschamps. But when she said Didier Deschamps i laughed it off, as anyone else would do, and didnt think it worthy of mentioning on the messageboard!

The timing from her saying that, and Nicko saying it is interesting, and it might be worth checking up on...

Edit: Never mind, its Bilic apparently...

[imy9]

Two points- Firstly I mentioned that Hughes' football was dire for large portions last year...because it was!

Bolton spent less money and got to 8th twice, so why anti BFS? Because of the style of football.

I am happy with Ince but I think the board are doing everything in their power to get the right man- so if thats Bilic (superb!!) or Advocaat or Ince I dont really care- all three play a certain style of football.

I think it will still be Ince unveiled on Monday but am curious as to why his appointment has not been announced yet... Nicko-here- 9PM!!

[John]

Martin Tyler just said Ince looked like a done deal but talk today is that we want Bilic.

Also mentioned we need the right man as certain players want to leave!!

Tyler is in Austria/Switzerland by the way for the Euros.

[Bobby G]

WOOHOOOOOOOOO....Come on Slaven Bilicccccccc

[alexanders]

So are we getting Wally with the brolly?

[Anti-Dingle-Brigade]

That's almost paradoxical.

[brightonrover]

I never imagined that the summer could be this exciting as a Rovers supporter!

Hi all,

just heard something that might dampen the proceedings check the link below:

http://www.telegraph.co.uk/sport/main.jhtm...1/sfnbla121.xml

apparantly M.Laudrup wants x amounts of clauses in his contract and was worried about how competitive we could be in the trsfr market so it seems as though Ince will get it as he has been given the special dispensation where has all this talk of Slaven Bilic/Didier Deschamps links come from have not heard anything on sky as yet does anyone have any linksI also hear Uefa have delayed in approving the UEFA Pro licence even though the prem. lge have approved it

laters all.

[nicko]

I would ignore the Telegraph story about Laudrup...they backed him to get it and are now back-tracking...

This keeps moving on.

[den]

There are big doubts in the boardroom too..otherwise there would have been an announcement already. Personally I think we might just be heading for a very lucky ( and exciting) escape.

That's silly really Wiggy. It was only yesterday that rovers got the Prem league to accept Ince - without coaching badges. I wouldn't expect any announcement on a Saturday.

I haven't seen or read anything yet to suggest that it wont be Ince.

[John]

No harm talking to Bilic, but got to be Ince still.... surely....

[RevidgeBlue]

So if russia lose tonite,does that mean hiddink would be in the race?or if the dutch lose,does that mean van basten could be the man?Good grief,this is turning into a merry go round.

Exactly.

What if Croatia had gone through. Would Bilic still NOT have been a candidate?

What if Ince loses patience with us, then Bilic decides he doesn't want it?

We'd be royally screwed.

That said Ince and Bilic were the only two names I fancied from the off so I'm glad the Board have finally come round to my way of thinking.

Very odd way to go about things though, and at the risk of sounding like Ince's mate Darren Lewis, Ince doesn't deserve to be treated like this.

[frosty]

If Bilic is being spoken to then surely JW isn't fully convinced by Ince?

Please be Bilic!!

[revolutionrock!]

Good god im excited. If we got him.....

[readsi3k]

I disagree. Ince doesn't have a right to have his backside licked by the board because the press have said the job is his. Its not his job until he's offered it and until then he has to accept he is simply a candidate.

[Wiggy]

[RevidgeBlue]

Why then go to the trouble of obtaining special dispensation for Ince?

If we weren't convinced by him, he should have been discarded as a candidate along with BFS and WWB.

Plus: although liking Bilic, how committed can he really be to the position when all along he hasn't been a candidate, then the next minute he does appear to be simply on the basis of losing a penalty shootout?

I've been taking it from a different point of view.

Yes we obtained special dispensation for Ince, but possibly only asked "would you have a problem if we wanted him as our next manager?"

If they said "no problem" then fine, if there was a problem then he could be cancelled out as a candidate. It could well just be a hypothetical request by Blackburn to the rest of the Premier League. Obviously it's just an opinion and just a possible option.

[John]

Surely this means Laudrup is not out of the race then?

That Daily Telegraph article today contradicts itself (compared to the one yesterday). Plus the fact it was the same writer.
