[Archived] New Rovers Boss

[CrazyIvan]

Neither do you or almost anyone on here, hence not flying off the handle at rumours.

I'm glad to say I didn't. I still think this lot haven't a clue what they are doing and they can't decide which way is up...

[den]

Frankly, you are truly annoying. Our new owners don't seem to have a clue what they are doing and you want everybody to apologise. For what?

If they knew what they were doing CrazyIvan, and they were professional, they would have a plan and they would stick to it. "we were going to sack Allardyce all along, but then we thought "why wait?".

Well they've not been here for a month yet, so it was either a sh1t plan, or they've lost it already.

Jeez and some of us fall for it.

By the way, who's our second in command now?

[accyrover]

...and they do?

That was the joke......

I know you liked Sam jim but you're allowing yourself to be swept away by the collective hysteria on here.

Not hysteria, just deep worries about the club's future.

[Eddie]

Well sit tight for the time being. Until they've made a move we can't really judge them.

[Claytons Left Boot]

It's Jol or MON for me. The other names being banded around leave me underwhelmed. Journeymen or past their sell by dates.

I also have a gut feeling that Steve Kean, if promoted on a permanent basis, could be the man for the job. Good credentials, experienced, intelligent and may be in the right place at the right time. I like what nicko had to say about him, the similarities with a younger David Moyes didn't go un-noticed.

[Wiggy]

Who is telling the truth?

Desai said that there is no unrest or insecurity amongst the players and the decision to discontinue with Allardyce was taken after consulting and convincing 95 percent of the team members.

WHAT? The players swore blind they knew nothing about this sacking...the Roberts/Nelson interviews?

Absolutely! Dunny was on the radio saying they were astonished not to be informed. He said something along the lines of 'Chrissie or Nellie should have been spoken to.'

So someone's telling untruths! Who is it?

[den]

Well sit tight for the time being. Until they've made a move we can't really judge them.

They've made a move Eddie. They've sacked a manager without having a replacement, or any idea of a replacement. By doing that, they have taken a leap into the unknown - and that unnecessarily risks our PL, nay future status.

They didn't need to take that risk and it's a very dangerous way to go.

Steve Kean is in charge den

You gonna troll all night?

Steve Kean is NOT a replacement. Even Venky's have said that!

[OJRovers]

What makes Steve Kean more capable of getting Rovers to finish 4th/5th this season than Big Sam?

Kean is totally untried at any level of management, Sam has previous of getting another small club (Bolton) into Europe.

For those who were anti-Ince from the start based on his experience, surely this applies even more so for Kean? I have a bad feeling we're just not going to be tactically smart enough.

Not Keano's fault, but the new owners who have totally risked the club during the most important stage of the season.

[BuckyRover]

Ha. I'll stop when you do den

[CrazyIvan]

Ha. I'll stop when you do den

Den is not a troll.

[BuckyRover]

I'm sure he will thank you for your support.

[RevidgeBlue]

You gonna troll all night?

You're the one trolling den.

You may not agree with the decision to can Allardyce but it might turn out to be a bold and correct decision depending on who we get in, or if Kean turns out to be a gem.

[S60tti_BRFC]

I think Steve Kean fits in best with Kentaro's 'model' therefore it would look more likely as to him being the permanent manager and what Venky's today described him as, sounded like Kentaro are influencing who that will be... which could again point to Kean

They seem to me however that Venky's are aiming to put in as little as possible in order for a greater return... however, please do prove me wrong. But i have my reservations....

[John]

Dave Jones moved a little bit higher up the ladder today - any reason why? (he's on Kentaro's books I believe)

[beerwins]

Kean will get the job, what manager would come without being able to sign his own players.

I cant think of one, well maybe one but he has already been here.

[mark1875]

Dave Jones can moved a little bit higher up the ladder today - any reason why? (he's on Kentaro's books I believe)

when sky ran the story that we had contacted another club to approach their manager, dave jones and mark hughes both rose

[nicko]

Jones is not a Kentaro client. He is not getting the job.

Kean has got it for now.

And Diego can jump on board if he fancies it.

[John]

Jones is not a Kentaro client. He is not getting the job.

Thank **** for that!

[chris]

Kean is too boring and not marketable enough for them he will be replaced I feel

Kean is your manager for some time to come.
