[Darwen Rover]

If take mOn in a flash!!

[Sparky Marky]

Yep . Maybe the new guy will come in as Dof with view to making keans position untenable. Like oneil or sven or hughes

[PAFELL]

you're on sky sports asking for rovers supporters to phone in to tell them who we want to replace Kean.

a real manager will do , dont care who.

Martin O Neill would be my preferred choice, ticks a lot of boxes including being an established, well respected PL manager.

Spot on Imy. He'd be my choice also. Great man manager, and gets the most out of his players

[FourLaneBlue]

Martin O'Neill sounds too good to be true. A manager who walks away from Villa due to lack of investment and selling off his top players, despite having spent a shed load...to then come to us who have sold off the best prospect we have had for many years.

I'd take almost any manager over Kean. Posters on here decrying the possibility of David O'Leary when we have Kean in charge! Come on, get a grip. Heck, let the players sort it out between them if need be. Anything. Just let's have a change!

[Mattyblue]

In the pub after the game, Benitez was mentioned

'no way'

about tine some Rovers fans got a grip.

I think O'Leary could be a decent shout, christ he'd be a far better bet than Kean!

Maybe he'll have something to prove having been out of the game for a while.

Do Venky's really care about the club because right now it would appear not.

[Billy Castell]

David O'Leary was sacked by Al-Ahli recently after a 5-1 loss to Al-Jazira according to Wikipedia. I'm no expert on the UAE football scene, but that does suggest he'd not be that much of an improvement on Kean. I think he's been out of top flight football for too long, and it would be like when Joe F. Kinnear became Newcastle manager.

So if Kean was to go, I'd expect Venky's to move him in quickly.

[Cheeky Sidders]

I don't think Paul Robinson would want see O'Leary at Ewood. I'm sure there's bad blood between them.

Dol did well at Leeds until the book and well at villa . he actually got villa to sixth with no cash. oneil never did better but spent millions. anyone would be better. than. kean at this moment. in time

[Billy Castell]

I'm not so sure Beastlove. I do think managers have a shelf life like players, and most reach a peak before the evolution of the game overtakes them. Howard Wilkinson won the league, but he'd be out of date 10-15 years ago let alone now. There are some who can adapt and continue to succeed over a very long time (e.g. Ferguson), but O'Leary might not be one of those. He would be better than Kean without doubt, but would he be good enough to get us out of this mess?

[Darwen Rover]

My choice would definitely be Paul lambert or holloway

[roverandout]

why get our hopes up? we are we even discussing a new manager until this clown has gone?

[rover1995]

Anyone is better than this utter Vermin we have at the moment, i'm not going to be able to sleep tonight. So angry

[steven]

Not Holloway please. He has already taken one club down. His no defence approach is not what is needed at Rovers. We already have that!

Football is a mercenary business - offer the right salary /contract and you will get someone prepared to take the managers job, in the full knowledge that even if unsuccessfull they walk away with a nice little wedge.

[Ricky]

At the moment we may be able to attract someone. We are still in touch with the teams above us. Leave it much longer and we may struggle.

My real worry is that the owners may go for another cheap option.

[Waggy76]

Personally , I think we are doomed , Venkys name will have gone around football.....

Mark Hughes , would keep us up , not sure I could name another manager who would...

The chances of a Hughes return ???? Less than nil
