gillibrand Posted December 17, 2008 Posted December 17, 2008 Sam thinks it's his... Souey thinks it's s***... The mystery man was Roberto Mancini. I thought he had a orchestra?
Pugg Posted December 17, 2008 Posted December 17, 2008 Bye bye Ewood then Why do you feel so strongly?
bellamy11 Posted December 17, 2008 Posted December 17, 2008 The mystery man was Roberto Mancini. Oh now why have you gone and said that? Now every time we fail to win 3-0 we'll have people saying "we should have gone for Mancini..."
Sysagent Posted December 17, 2008 Posted December 17, 2008 Sam thinks it's his... Souey thinks it's s***... The mystery man was Roberto Mancini. I cannot believe that Sam Allardyce got the job over Mancini that beggars believe... I just hope to God they haven't f**ked it up again this time, there's no way of coming back from this decision if they have. Nicko any clues / rumours as to why Sam was chosen over the much braver appointment of Mancini at all?
thenodrog Posted December 17, 2008 Posted December 17, 2008 The Guardian says Sam is about to be unveiled. Bet thats not a pretty sight.
LDRover Posted December 17, 2008 Posted December 17, 2008 Oh now why have you gone and said that? Now every time we fail to win 3-0 we'll have people saying "we should have gone for Mancini..." Exactly what I was thinking!!
thenodrog Posted December 17, 2008 Posted December 17, 2008 That's a real shame. Dont drop to Thenodrog's level. Everybody deserves a chance. 'Hell hath no fury like a womans corns' (Billy Bradshaw)

Backroom Tom Posted December 17, 2008 Backroom Posted December 17, 2008 Garner on SSN now Also Mancini may have been a glamorous appointment but we can't take another risk like that now
dr_awol Posted December 17, 2008 Posted December 17, 2008 The mystery man was Roberto Mancini. now im just gonna be thinking Mancini would have made requests the owners could not give, like transfer funds. Im ok with sam. looks like a close fit
mick Posted December 17, 2008 Posted December 17, 2008 Laudrup and Mancini were offered the co-manager job...then if we were behind at half time they would suit up and show the lads how it's done...we can dream!

I just hope to God they haven't f**ked it up again this time, there's no way of coming back from this decision if they have. Nicko any clues / rumours as to why Sam was chosen over the much braver appointment of Mancini at all? Could you honestly see Mancini ex INTER MILAN manager of a lowly small northern club with no cash Blackburn Rovers. Nope neither could I............. Best man for the job and should have been appointed in June my faith has been restored looking forward to Saturday unfortunately delayed coverage here but I for one can't wait. Christmas comes early to me !! Happy Christmas all 3 wins before New Year please

I just hope to God they haven't f**ked it up again this time, there's no way of coming back from this decision if they have. Nicko any clues / rumours as to why Sam was chosen over the much braver appointment of Mancini at all? I can understand why Mancini wasn't picked. JW has gone for someone that has experience in managing the premier league and someone who has experienced a relegation battle before. I wouldn't have picked Mancini considering the situation we are in.
Mr. E Posted December 17, 2008 Posted December 17, 2008 Well I hope you people are happy. BFS's Barmy Army.... I wonder how exactly players like Dunn who care about our club are going to play for this man. "C'mon Dunny, go out there and do it for...me." Just very, very sickening.
thenodrog Posted December 17, 2008 Posted December 17, 2008 Wow Mancini had an interview? over the phone prob.
RibbleValleyRover Posted December 17, 2008 Posted December 17, 2008 Well I hope you people are happy. BFS's Barmy Army.... I wonder how exactly players like Dunn who care about our club are going to play for this man. "C'mon Dunny, go out there and do it for...me." Just very, very sickening. iirc it was rumoured in the press that Dunny wanted Allardyce. Though that could have been the lesser of two evils in his eyes, he obviously didn't want Souey.
Pugg Posted December 17, 2008 Posted December 17, 2008 I wonder how exactly players like Dunn who care about our club are going to play for this man. Well he was going to sign for him at Bolton
MI ROVER Posted December 17, 2008 Posted December 17, 2008 Well I hope you people are happy. BFS's Barmy Army.... I wonder how exactly players like Dunn who care about our club are going to play for this man. "C'mon Dunny, go out there and do it for...me." Just very, very sickening. Come on he almost signed for Big Sam last Jan before we robbed him he was in the Bolton kit ready for photos so I suggest no problem with Dunn and BFS !!! C'MON BFS BARMY ARMY
Sysagent Posted December 17, 2008 Posted December 17, 2008 over the phone prob. He has been in the UK for a few months now Gordon apparently learning English. Once it's over and I am off this bleedin train I will answer that. I will hold you to that Nicko...
EwoodGlory Posted December 17, 2008 Posted December 17, 2008 Mancini would have been a massive risk. We know what Sam is all about, all that matters is staying up, we CANNOT afford to go down. He's been given a 3 year deal, I expect this means he has been giving funds for January and we will give it a good go, no short term cheap way out. I was against him in the summer as much as anyone, although I didn't want Ince either. We just need to get behind him and the team, forget Mancini, by the end of the season we will know if it is the right decision or not.
Finch Posted December 17, 2008 Posted December 17, 2008 We should have appointed him in the summer. Glad we're on the right track now. Glad we didn't go for Souness. Our season starts here. Big Fat Sam's blue and white army!
bigbrandjohn Posted December 17, 2008 Posted December 17, 2008 Interesting comment on the BBC site. comment by GeordieCruyff (U7152591) posted 17 Minutes Ago "Sam's had 2 pieces of good news this week: 1) Willie McKay is still being allowed to conduct business as an agent. 2) Blackburn appear to be willing to offer him gainful employment. He must think it's Christmas or something...oh hold on. In truth I'm not sure how it went wrong for Sam at Newcastle. His pre season & early season games went well & we were playing some good stuff, we lost at Reading and got hammered the next week to Portsmouth and he could't turn it round. He reverted to type with the long ball and things went from bad to worse. I suppose spending a combined £11.5million on Barton and Smith doesn't help, but then that brings me back to Willie McKay again " I have two wishes for Christmas if we get him. 1) We are respectable mid table by May 2) He has learnt his lesson in the friends he keeps and the deals he is personally involved in. I assume John Williams will be casting a closer eye than his previous employers
