[Archived] Venkys want either Shearer or Sherwoodas next manager

[the original david brent]

sherwood was recently interviewed by cryer in the lancs telegraph and spoke fondly of his time at rovers. In fact he has always spoken fondly of his time at rovers, and dispels one or two myths. Is the timing of the interview pure coincidence? Probably!

I would take anybody like shearer, sherwood, souness, tugay etc. I appreciate these choices are straight from the heart, and there are more sensible choices, but the club and fans need galvanising and quick. I haven't boycotted but everytime rovers score, it doesn't do anything for me. That's what kean and Agnew have done.

Anyway we've been here before thinking kean is going and he doesn't, but it's been nice to get hopes up this weekend!

Nightmare combination

[adopted scouser]

This lot take incompetency to new heights.

"We need to win the fans back"

"Easy, appoint a local hero"

"But we've finally spent big, we need someone with real experience to get us out of this. OK, we'll appont someone with virtually no managerial experience, and a number 2 with absolutely none at all".

"Do it"

[mjwood00]

I actually think the fact this story comes from nicko is significant. He has continually said kean is staying and seems to have had sources from the management side so this makes me hopeful. sherwood is highly regarded but I suspect is having difficulties h AVB.

Not to sure about this combination. I would take TS with an experienced manager alongside no problem. I would take AS alongsie someone similar. Not too sure whether they could pull it off together.

KEANSCUM OUT, he is on his last legs and he hasnt been drinking !!

[perthblue02]

"Its not the solution for us, I'd take Abbey over Kean any day of the week"

Now those press conferences and after match interviews would be worth watching can't imagine there would be any "the owners are right for the club " quotes

Funny Sherwood's name as cropt up as Friedel is amongst the top 6 in the betting at the moment - A Sherwood and Friedel combo ?

Sherwood would certainly have an insight in over coming the boo boys and player unrest in the dressing room, but think some of our squad would struggle with Friedel's training & fitness regimes as none involve what seems to be the case at present of listening to a couple of north of the border drunks at the bar, then talking to the press how brilliant they are

Just great replace an unproven failure with an unproven failure in waiting. This is not an experiment.

Yes-but most unproven managers aren't perpetual liars/exaggerators/calculated back stabbers/drink drivers.

[SouthAussieRover]

according to the Sunday People this morning, that Shebby Singh, Balaji and Venky Rao want a former rovers player to take over as manager when Kean is sack. The 2 former players are Alan Shearer and Tim Sherwood.

FFS Chaddy stop hanging off Nixons every word.

Or I will ###### well verbally abuse you.

Why is Shearer being viewed as a good replacement?

Anyone who's watched ten seconds of his "analysis" on MOTD will know beyond stating the obvious he has no discernible skills to bring to management. He'd possibly give the crowd a morale boost but that certainly didn't help Newcastle during his brief tenure there which ended in relegation.

I doubt the players would gain a significant boost as the majority of them aren't from Blackburn and the Portuguese contingent will spend most of their time just trying to figure out his accent before being able to understand what he's telling them.

I like Shearer as a person, he seems a decent enough bloke, but he's not the answer to our managerial problems. Would I take him over Kean? Yes. But that goes for pretty much every candidate.

[adsfortheblues]

I can't stand kean, but the drink driver argument is a bit silly IMO. I think most people know somebody who has been caught drink driving in the past but we don't label them like they've committed some horrendous Act.

[blue_n_white99]

If we have to have an ex player Tugay would be my choice, Shearer's previous forays into management have been uninspiring to say the least and the way he left Ewood still leaves a bitter taste, no doubting his ability as a player but that doesn't always translate to management.

The Turkish delight had vision as a player, appears to be running along very nicely in Turkey coaching and he has respect of fans, players and pundits alike. There is also a bit of steel to Tugay that says don't fekk with me or I kiiilllll you!

Another past Rover who would be a decent shout is Henning Berg.

O.K i accept that but i'm keeping the other part of the argument (perpetual liars/exaggerators/calculated back stabbers). He wasn't just drink driving by the way he was also doing 90mph!!-not that this is any reflection on his dubious personality/drunken revelations to fans about Big Sam etc..

[rhodie]

With out any doubt we need a manager with experience, it`s no use getting someone in that`s only coached or managed for 5 minutes again, the last time we tried that look what happened. Shearer and Sherwood are both wet behind the ears and not at all capable of taking over a club like Rovers. At best you could put one of them in as assistant manager. The best we could for a manager is someone like Moyes,

SHUT UP!!!

that why I block your posts because of your abusive comments

[Mercer]

Don't think this is the right way to go.

What matters more than anything, is getting a proven manager who will nigh on guarantee results.

It does not need to be a glamorous name.

Our club needs rebuilding again with solid foundations that will last and what we don't need is a 'sexy' month or two and then find we made the wrong choice.

You don't think drinking and driving is a horrendous act???

Thank God I am not likely to ever be in your vicinity (assuming you do drive). Drink driving whilst over the limit IS a criminal act, and NOT just if you are caught at it. It is most certainly selfish annd crininally irresponsible and all those caught doing it deserve to feel the full weight of the law.

Oh and just by the way I don't actually know anybody personally that has been convicted of this offence.

[chaddyrovers]

Would Curbishley or McCarthy be interest in the rovers job and working under Shebby and Venkys???

I have my doubts they would.

That why I would go someone like Karl Robinson or Solskjaer or McInnes at Bristol City.

If Shearer or Sherwood they would need a experience number 2 for sure someone Derek Faz would do.

[T.J.Newton]

reports on twitter that Shebbys trying to bring jermaine Jenas to rovers(on loan id imagine, if true!), the Kind of all around midfielder where missing if he is fit, but he's injury prone and hasn't played many games in the last few years.

its another spurs connection though, along with Sherwood and Arry Redknapp(shebby is his number 1 fan apparently).

[yoda's brother]

no mention of who the boss wants though

the boss is the manager already isnt he

Working in Criminal law I mostly certainly know that it's not treated as an horrendous act. More of a slap on the wrist and don't do it again.

What I'm saying is people are treating it as though he's part of a very small minority who has committed this act, when in reality it's a daily occurrence.

It's a mistake simple as that, selfish yes, but a mistake. People I know who have done the same, you think well they have made a stupid mistake let them get on with their life now. However if somebody does it again then I would find that difficult to forgive.

If Jack had gone down the route of bringing in an ex-player/hero type manager, we would never have won the PL.

Let's not forget he also repeatedly lied about his offence in court and then tried to blame Rovers fans for spiking his drink. It isn't as simple as "he has a drink driving offence therefore he's a horrible person". It's the manner of what happened afterwards as much as anything else that proves what a snake he is.

[RoyRover]

Obviously a brain dead worm would be a preferable choice to the imbicile we have in charge at the moment. Even though Shearer and Sherwood would no doubt bring more fans back, I don't think that long term they would be the best choice. They have limited experience and Shearer didn't do a good job at Newcastle (who were admittedly a sinking ship). I'd like Harry Redknapp. But I don't think he has ever slept anywhere north of Birmingham, let alone moved there!

If you read the context of my original post properly you would have seen i included it in a long list of personality defects and not in isolation. On its own and one off it possibly can be disregarded (all though in my opinion drink driving is highly irresponsible and should never be defended). Kean however, has proven himself to be irresponsible with drink and its implications on a number of occasions most notably as i also posted when he talked to fans about Big Sam all again proved that he is unfit to be a figure head for our club. Why you have singled out drink driving is beyond me-it was quite obvious the point i was making and that this was a culmination of misguided actions which make a much bigger farce!! Apologies if i seem irate at your response.
