[Archived] Whose The Caretaker Then?

[Rovers_Dan]

Cant say ive seen it anywhere mentioned yet but just wanted to know who will be in charge of the side should we not have a manager in place by Saturday??

Dont tell me its gonna be Ray Matthias!!!Please...

[CrazyIvan]

Knox took training this morning according to 5 Live.

[ihateburnley]

Don't worry Parkes will rescue us......oh wait.

[philipl]

I think it is Mathias.

[JAL]

I think it is Mathias.

Told Mathias was sacked last week.

[JAL]

Is there any evidence to back this up, i.e. t'Internet articles?

None El Tombro did anyone see him near Ince on saturday?

[islander200]

Maathis and kno are in charge for saturday

[AggyBlue]

Told Mathias was sacked last week.

Just been on SSN that he's in charge on Saturday along with Knox.

[mark1875]

Maathis and kno are in charge for saturday

this official mate? where did it come from? its all confusing lol

ahh ssn lol thanks

[trs]

Mathias on SSN saying him and Knox will be in charge on saturday un less something happens this week.

[Majiball]

Your kidding, right, captain pugwash and Frankenstein are in charge, bring back ince! (joke).

Surprised they weren't told to do one as well. I would have thought the club would be eager to remove the problem. We could have used the reserve manager at least he was coaching adults at liverpool, Downes even. they where just as much part of the problem as Ince thats why they're called a management team!

I'm crapping it for Saturday now!

[den]

Let's hope we get someone in quickly then.

[squaylor]

Warnock and Andrews up front?

[tcj_jones]

May as well have kept Ince... Mathias and Knox both know they are goners, how exactly are they going to improve things?

[Iceman]

Absolutely ridiculous that,Knox and Matthias will be in charge. We might have given Ince another game then. Cmon get a new manager in please,before saturday.

[modes98]

I really hope not. I think they are more of a problem than Ince was.

[Tom]

Oh dear, I was hoping we'd have someone in today or tomorrow, I really feel part of Ince's problem was his backroom staff.

[Plastic Head]

Was just going to predict a 1-0 on the Rovers v Stoke thread.

Now I know the caretaker i'll go for an 0-8 to 0-12 reverse. Dependant on how many throw-ins Stoke get.

JW's statement on official site reads...

THE search for Paul Ince's successor as Blackburn Rovers manager has started in earnest.

Rovers' Chairman John Williams said: "Appointing a new manager is our total focus.

"We acknowledge that timelines are tight for we are in a very worrying situation concerning our Premier League status.

"We will endeavour to have a new manager in place for Saturday's game with Stoke City at Ewood Park, but there are no guarantees and we must ensure that we get the right man.

"In the meantime, the day-to-day training will be carried out by Archie Knox, Ray Mathias and Karl Robinson. Our coaching staff and all of the players fully understand the importance of this weekend's game.

"Our supporters can rest assured that we will do everything in our power to get the team climbing the Premier League table as soon as possible."

[trs]

Dont rule out someone coming in before weekend, if it's gonna be Souey or BFS then it can obviously happen.

Note.....It's not an official release by the club that they will be in charge it's Mathgias who has said they will be there unless something happens this week.

Or may be it is official

[Majiball]

I really hope not. I think they are more of a problem than Ince was.

I honestly believe its why he failed.

[AggyBlue]

Newsticker on SSN :-

Blackburn hope to have a new manager in place before the game on saturday

My take on that is - They hope to introduce him to the home crowd on Saturday

[hawkiiz]

Dear please God and everything good and sparkling let it be Big Fat fireman Sam Allardyce.

"In the meantime, the day-to-day training will be carried out by Archie Knox, Ray Mathias and Karl Robinson. Our coaching staff and all of the players fully understand the importance of this weekend's game.

KARL ROBINSON ???

Paul Robinsons brother ???

[joey_big_nose]

Mental, it is a race agaianst time then. I wonder how Knox and Mathias are feeling about things? Probabaly don't give a rats ass because their manager has been sacked and they know there is next to no chance of being retained.

If we don't get in someone by Saturday it will become a farce!
