[Archived] Caretaker Manager

[The Harwood Yankee]

If Rovers sack Ince and we don't have a new manager in place immediately, and given we're in the middle of a season, who would pick the team? Hughes got rid of everyone's favourite caretaker manager, Tony Parkes. Would we bring back Parkes for a brief cameo? Or maybe Tugay as player manager? Or Matt Jansen?! Just a thought...

Tony Parkes is at Blackpool.

Oh crap. Parkes is sure to lose many games and not turn anything around. Is this how desperate we are now? How about Howard Kendall King Kenny, or Mr. McKay?

Mr McKay from Porridge? Isnt he dead? Probably still an improvement on Ince...

Jim Iley was better than Ince

A caretaker manager might not be the worst idea - if we could get someone who could take us to finish 17th, write this season off then go all out to make a big appointment in the Summer, that would probably be the best all round.

then go all out to make a big appointment in the Summer

Who the hell's gonna come to us ?

I've no idea - I'm just working on the likelihood that we'll be a slightly more attractive propostion then with our PL status in tact than we are right now.

The only thing that leads me to think that's not the best course of action is that right we should have £10 million (ish) to spend in January, and we're probably going to need to spend a fair chunk of that on the problems we have.

Personally I think we'd be a more attractive proposition being 19th but with cash to spend than we would in the summer if we've survived but are potless.

[T4E]

Fair point, can't argue with any of that.
