[Archived] New Assistant manager

[thenodrog]

Billy Liar. Then he can double up and do the 'pressers' too.

[Baz]

Garry Flitcroft?

Matty?

[philip369]

as we appear to be linked with so many 'old boys', how about woy. he'll be looking for work soon!

[Iceman]

Steve Clarke or Ray Wilkins for me. Kean imo, will do well to bring in an experienced right hand man.

[jim mk2]

Roy Keane's looking for a new job.

Kean and Keane would be mustard.

[Iceman]

Phil Thompson perhaps?

[ewoodpo]

I bumped into Kevin Gallacher a few weeks ago. He told me that even though he loves his media work he'd love the oppertunity to either coach or manage.

He's done all his badges and just wants somebody to give him that chance.

[Majiball]

Chris Coleman?

[Kelbo]

Well,

Rob Kelly and Ray Lewington could be a decent shout, both excellent coaches but Keans saying the appointment would 'excite' Rovers fans would not follow with those two.

Steve Clarke is after the Burnley job so he is ruled out and I cant see Coleman dropping to number two with a manager who worked under him!!

Someone mentioned Faz, but isnt he with Sven at Leicester?

[Amo]

Vinjay?

[Radagast]

Clark would be a good one, but he must surely be looking to get a job of his own by now? Especially when he would be working under a manager with less big level experience than him.

If Wilkins was as important to the Chelsea dressing room as it now looks like he was then he could be a good shout as well.

[heysham rover]

Matt Jansen and gally were both in the directors guest lounge on Wednesday. Not seen Matt there before but may be nothing in it. David Thompson was there too as was holloway.

[Tim Southampton Rover]

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

Does that mean Rovers fans will sit up and take notice or does that mean everyone in England?

[John]

Kean was asked "any clues?" on who the the assistant manager might be, and Kean replied by saying he wants to announce it himself on Monday as it will make people sit up and take notice.

[greco82]

Franco Zola? Just a guess

[Tim Southampton Rover]

I can unofficially confirm that it's Lucy Pinder

That would make everyone 'stand up' and take notice

[BPF]

Who was his 'Assistant' today?

[Tom]

Who was his 'Assistant' today?

Dunno but he can head a ball!

[Hughesy]

Brunskill today as normal.

[Mercer]

Did anyone spot 'a candidate' in the Director's Box ?

Rumours were that Clarke was at the match but I didn't see him.

He would be a good number 2 to steve Kean. Are we getting a first team coach called Steve aswell. the 2 steve's together.

Where has that rumour come from???

[Iceman]

its an assistant manager Chaddy, not coach.

[John]

Really interested to know who it is!

[ada2020]

Really interested to know who it is!

Indeed, I'm hoping for Ray Wilkins certainly fits the "mean business" quote IMO.

[Iceman]

agree, Wilkins would be quality. think what Kean is doing, is getting an assistant, who will be able to persuade players to join. If it is Wilkins, then its a very good move
