[Iceman]

According to Steve Kean, we will be announcing a new assistant manager on Monday. my guess is Wilkins, but i somehow how doubt he will want to come here. my guess on other candidates

Billiy Mckinlay

Tony Parkes

Tugay

Steve Clarke

Jamie Redknapp

Gus Poyet(not sure what he is doing)

Big Col

[roverwhelmed]

Aaah I'd love Tony Parkes to come back.

Aaah I'd love Tony Parkes to come back.

He is/was part time scout, as a few months ago.

What makes you guess Jamie Redknapp, seems a bit out of left field

Venkys have been out of left field, so who knows.

Darren Ferguson could be an option, but think many would be against that idea.

[Ossydave]

A low key Scottish name I'm expecting

[Mercer]

My money is on fellow Scot Clarke - Kean's words (exciting - not sure about that, can only be on basis of what he did at Chelsea which would also tick the 'pedigree' box).

[Hughesy]

Parkes?? Not up with modern stuff so no thanks....too old school for us. He already works for us anyway.

Only 3 id like to see....in dream world - number 1 choice please.

TUGAY

Ray Wilkins

Chris Hughton (Doubt he would drop back down to Assistant Mgr)

[LeChuck]

Darren Ferguson could be an option, but think many would be against that idea.

Could be an option according to who? I'll bet anything it's not him.

Ray Wilkins, Chris Hughton or Steve Clark please.

Not seen the interview, did he actually say it would be an exciting appointment?

Heard about signing exciting players before, but not on too many occasions have seen people get too excited over an assistant manager.

Anyway, hoping for a quality appointment hopefully.

[whalleyrover]

Kevin Gallagher?

Watched the interview.

Kean said they (the backroom team) have been stretched recently in relation to coaching duties. He wants to announce the name himself on Monday as people will sit up and take notice because he is a good candidate for the job - it is an excellent addition to the coaching staff. was his words

[80s russ]

Billy McKinlay or another Celtic link and outside bet Stuart Balmer, ex Charlton, Wigan, Oldham centre half and St Mirren assistant

[RibbleValleyRover]

Perhaps someone from Spain or Portugal? Kean may have built up some contacts during his stint at Sociedad. Any former star players over there who are now coaches or looking to go down the coaching route?

[Tim Southampton Rover]

At first I was going to say Chris Coleman but since reading that it's going to be someone which will make people stand up and take notice then it's really making me wonder who it could be....maybe a big name in England like Keegan, Wilkins or Clarke?

Maradona?

[Tim Southampton Rover]

MARADONA! Argh!!!!!!!!

haha, great minds think alike!

im fine with kean being the manager and he seams to be doing ok atm. but what caliber of assistant coach will be happy being a number 2 to a number 3?

unless its almost a dual manager roll?

[BuckyRover]

I think I would like that

[Tim Southampton Rover]

Alan Shearer returning to Rovers

[John]

Think it must be someone highly rated and known of by the way he was talking.

Guess and probably unrealistic one, Carlos Queiroz?

[bennyboyt11]

It won't be Poyet, his Brighton side are sitting top of League 1 and he's getting some very nice jobs linked to him.

Wouldn't make sense to return to the Premiership as an Assistant.

[Grez]

Allardyce ?

Lol

[beerwins]

Heart say's TUGAY.

Head says Ricky Sbragia.

Stomach says if this damn chinese I ordered over an hour ago doesn't trap im gonna kick off
