[Bluefudge]

Will there be a club left when Kean leaves?

If he goes this week or next, yes, just about. Much longer and no

What's the betting that Mr. Kean will complete the ex-Fulham triumvirate by getting Venky's to appoint Chris Coleman as Director of Football. Short odds, I'd say.

There's another thread on which Chris Coleman is shown as managing a Greek team; would we have to "prise him away" in the way Kean says we've prised the apparently unemployed Paul Clement away from Chelsea?

does anyone know that rovers have never had a foreign manager in their history?

That's funny, I thought Kean was from another planet

kudos to you sir

Laudrup on Sky's coverage of Barca so he's in England. Could be a goer assuming Baldy's a goner?

The more I think about it the more I think curbishley is the man for the job...never thought I'd actually say that!

Wrong, by the way.

[daverich]

I can't wait for Jean to get potted, just really dreading who venkys are gonna come up with nxt, hope they put their hands in their pockets but I can just see them going for another cheap option.

Unless you include Irish as foreign he is right.

[Doug]

I'd give Souness a call. See if he fancied a bit of a challenge. Played good footy when he was here, good spirit and players gave everything.

Technically they are and were at the time so pedantic as it may be he was a foreign manager.

[roverandout]

koi i looked at wikipedia at all rovers managers and none were 'foreign' unless u count ireland as foreign, which it isnt really.

Did a good job overall but he lost the plot towards the end. Personally I was glad when Newcastle took him. Why Laudrup? Great player but not a good manager. Got to try for Hughes or O' Neill then move on to the likes of Curbishley if necessary

Why is laudrup a bad manager ..... he did well in bronby ... then gatefe ... then spartak ... then he saved mallorca from relegation om shoestring budget and resigned this season due to bad relation with the president ... the guy promotes youth ... his team plays free flowing football ... he's respected and has eye for youth

hughes will drop us the moment a big club comes ....

o niel ... venkys can't satisfy his budget ...

[Steve Moss]

I think Laudrup would be an excellent choice. So it's guaranteed Venkys won't go for him.

Any manager who succeeds at Rovers will be poached by a bigger club at some stage. Point taken about Laudrup but I still think we need someone who can hit the ground running in the Prem League. I dont think it's impossible for us to get O'Neill. He wants to return to management and is not in a position to land a really big club.

[miqaayil]

if they had the brains ...

they can go for johan cruyff ... something like a Kenny Daglish return .... but only he's the founder of total football style and the kind of influence and media coverage blackburn will get will be amazing ... not to mention the young players attracted to play under him ....

frank rijkaard might drop saudi for a crack at EPL ... and van basten is out of job also ....

[roverandout]

these are names we can only dream of, we will probably end up with someone like dave jones.

at the time when jack got kenny to come and manage us ... it was also a dream ....

I dream of Dave Jones being Rovers manager right now.

Pompey have more dreamers.
