[Archived] New Rovers Boss

[Exiled_Rover]

He's at the Utd match tonight in an Arfur Daley type jacket looking quite thoughtful.

Player manager?

That's a long commute from LA.

[Greedy_Crawford]

Going to be a left field appointment - Beckham as player manager... tbh could do with the glamour down at Brockhall, I could start charging for parking outside my gaffe!!

The again, in reality it will be someone crap like Curbishley

But that wouldnt run with Nickos statement, thats why I said Beckham as the figurehead and a coach alongside (not the one with seats in either) Aka Dalglish at Liverpool in the early days!!

[deryck guyler's spoon]

It will probably be Akon.

[Andy]

Been keeping my eye on general odds and the person whose odds are coming down quicker than anyone's is Frank Rijkaard.

Now down to 17-1.

Wish I knew it was happening - £100 on for a £1,800 return

[imy9]

Frank is available too he has been sacked by the Turkish club he was with.

What Statement from Nicko i cant seem to find it

[AspRover]

I've just had a horrible premonition.

Diego Maradona.

[Kelbo]

What Statement from Nicko i cant seem to find it

He said he laughed at the suggestion of the next manager, unless it was to be the face of the Rovers, or something on those lines

Kentaro have links to Paul Jewell, according to a few Twitterati (Micky Gray says he's hearing Jewell, for example).

I'm very, very nervous.

His odds fall like that every time a job comes up...the job then always goes to a half decent candidate instead!

Kentaro act for Jol as well!!

[eddiewac]

anyone got a bet on Bob Houghton?

[BuckyRover]

Paul Jewell

I'll believe it when I see it.

[Fylde Coast Fan]

I'd be happy with Jol. Did a good job at Spurs.

Dave Jones has gone down massively on Skybet - now 13/2. Rijkaard still 33/1 there.

Why would they replace Sam for Paul Jewell? Think about it people, it doesn't make sense for a start.

Nor did the sacking

[deftangel]

Someone on Betfair forums just said we were going for a "big name" according to a tip. I take anything I read on their with a large dose of salt but there are several comments kicking about that seem to point to a "name" candidate, for better or for worse. Paul Jewell does not fit that profile.

[Ricky]

Didnt Nicko say just that earlier today?

Sven-Göran Eriksson is a big name (in both senses).

[Bobby G]

No, nicko said he has heard the name that made him laugh. But laugh no more as it could be reality.

[67splitscreen]

anyone got a bet on Bob Houghton?

You could do worse, Rumour he has resigned as India's national coach.

[bluefred]

i think we will all know very soon,who the new manager is and i bet he is in before the weekend.

all i can say is thanks sam,good luck in the future and dont let the door hit you on your way out,

i cant say its been a plesure watching that sh-te you call football,but you will never change your

style,you dont know any other way,but blackburn rovers can and will.Lets get back to playing football

two years of hit and run is to much for any team,especialy when its the team we love to watch,win lose or

draw,lets do it with pride.
