[Archived] Next manager

[Ralfinho]

but who did the posting?

A mate of mine Dave Coogan

[Waggy76]

I'm glad to see you can relax! What a laid-back character you must be. Personally, I haven't relaxed since Venkys sacked Sam and I do not share your confidence about the right appointment being made.

The sacking of Allardyce has condemned Blackburn Rovers to life in the lower leagues ...

I have no faith in this set of clowns to select the right cat food , let alone a new football manager !

[Aberdeen Blue]

The relegation point is interesting, if the Venkys view it as a failing, then why the hell are they still at OUR club?

And why was dipshit not sacked at the end of last season!

Whats he doing down at ewood?

Dont know mate, I will try find out though

[Mercer]

Shearer seen at Ewood !?!?!

I think even Shebby, Shaw & Agnew have sufficience commonsense to see any candidate away from either Ewood or Brockhall.

Perhaps not.

That really would depend on whether this was the first meeting/what had been discussed perviously elsewhere etc/how far along things are... I very much doubt shearer is At Ewood/Brockhall and i very much doubt he is a contender as i'm not sure he would put his hat into this circus. Not convinced by that TWEET

Robbo, Keane was as much a student of the game as you and me are Burnley supporters. to say it's a mistake based on nothing more than speculation is foolish. bringing in driven man with a decent track record to date and an obvious desire to better himself is good. kean thought he knew it all already and that football owed him, he still does. you get out what you put in and Keane put in nothing. if a model as suggested by kamy is true ie a manager to look after football and a performance director to look after everything else (fitness, nutrition, scouting, psychology, development) then he will need to be young ( as a manager) as too many of the old guard won't support this. I would support this idea as it works and means those with expertise in those fields run those departments, as it should be.

I take it I missed something?

You only have to be away a day on here and you miss something

but does it work? there are not many examples of it working in this country. Yes you employ people who are are good at fitness etc but not sure if a performance/Director of football works that well. It may work if he has absolutely NO input into the football side including who is signed but even then its starts to get difficult if the manager wants one specific thing and the performance director doesnt agree.

[ada2020]

Does he have a British passport ?

What I find unusual is for only one individual to be specifically ruled out !

As I said last night, could be smoke and mirrors. If it isn't, we might just be fecked as a club.

Hope your right Mercerman, because we are well and truly nailed if the shortlist has been narrowed down to the one or two mentioned earlier in the thread.

I had just started to put some faith back in this lot, how foolish.

[tonyoz]

Having watched Ireland through all of Traps reign and listened to peoples moan about his style etc i think he could defo do a job for rovers!

And he might bring Keith back! Sorry den.

[JC4LAB]

Bolton job up for grabs too with Solskjar Keane and Mccarthy( and even BFS) linked with that also.so there some competition for the next best manager.Wonder which job is the better in their eyes.

[RoverScot]

The late Brian Clough was right when he said football owners were more often than not useless and that the most and only important decision they make is who to manage the team. I just hope Judan Ali doesn't make it onto Shebby's shortlist or else Madame Desai will pick it without question or consultation with the Chuckle brothers.

[donnermeat]

Shearer has been relegated so would he be there?

They want a a younger inexperienced manager because they know an established experienced manager wouldn't put up with their keaning kean.

[PAFELL]

Shearer has just been spotted walking into Ewood Park according to twitter and FB

Not according to Andy Cryer on twitter. Shearer not at Ewood, neither the owners in the country.

[T4E]

Glen Mullan has announced on Twitter that he is "fuming".

Let's all quickly run over there and ask him why!

A younger inexperienced manager also happens to cost a lot less.

[den]

And he might bring Keith back! Sorry den.

Perish that thought tony.

Vinjay has

[Blue n White Rover]

Trapattoni has ruled himself out the running for the Rovers job. Quoted as saying:

"I'm not aware of it. It must be agent chit-chat. I'm not interested anyway. I am concentrating on the task in hand."

Now compare that to the OGS interview last week...

[rog of the rovers]

I have warmed a little bit to the idea of Shearer being manager, but if he's interested I don't see how you can't give the job to OGS, won the Norweigan league (on the verge of winning it again), knows the English league, knows the area, and has clear ambition.
