[Archived] Next manager

[Pedro]

But will hardly come CHEAP!!

But it wouldn't be cheap to get Holloway or even Sherwood (release clause plus wage). I think we will employ someone out of work. I'm shocked that so many have dismissed Keegan out of hand, I'd rather have him than Shearer, Sherwood and Holloway. Did a great job at Newcastle and Fulham, steadied Man City too. Massive improvement on the last guy...but so would the rotting corpse of Amy Winehouse.

[SirLarsIII]

They fell out though didn't they?

Daum would be a great appointment but can't see it unfortunately!

Hahaha :-) Then he better hold his tongue :-)

Cant see it happening either. Just afraid of us taking in another rookie manager.

[SydneyRover]

According to the LT Daum is interested, if this is the case then he's far and away the best realistic candidate at the moment.

Keegan? Kean has already showed us trying to outscore the opposition with little thought for defending doesn't work.

I am certainly behind Black for as long as he is in the job. I can't believe one or two on here are saying they have cancelled their season ticket because they fear Black will get the job full time. That is crazy.

I agree that Black would not be a good long term appointment but I highly doubt he will be offered the job. He doesn't fit the profile. Venky's want the new man to be a footballing and commercial success. By that I mean someone who can get the team going AND someone who can attract sponsors and fans back to the club.

Shearer will get the job imo

[roverandout]

so many good names being mentioned, these names are falling into shebby's/venky's lap. surely they aren't going to pass up the opportunity to appoint someone who will get ewood buzzing again. Then again this is venkys we are talking about

[rovers11]

Btw Rovers should be considering Ralf Rangnick. Good manager and is keen to come to England. Put his hat in the ring for both the Spurs and West Brom job.

[adsfortheblues]

which other names would not get us up ? i personally feel our choice should be high profile , game changing person who will clear house from within and change the culture of football taught by kean , and the environment of a very young squad and strong academy is conducive for change.

i strongly feel we are not a championship team trying to get to premier league , we are a premier league team who are temperorily in championship due to an idiot manager.

and to those asking on hughes ... i would not even want him back ,if he wants to come,i still feel he has lost the plot

I do support black ...somebody gotta do the job till a perm guy comes in and you need to encourage him publically so players will also cooperate with him. The cancer kean is out , whatever happens from this point wil be good for rovers. lets believe and get behind the team

People like Shearer and Sherwood and all the other ex players people keep referring to.

[Pedro]

Keegan? Kean has already showed us trying to outscore the opposition with little thought for defending doesn't work.

The guy got Newcastle, Fulham and City promoted in his first full season in charge or the first time of asking. Apart from a few memorable occasions, those tactics you mentioned aren't really the tactics he applied - I suppose its in the same vein that the media likes to pretend we are all vile inbreds and Kean is a man of dignity.

But, if they were - football is a simple game where you just need to score more than the opposition...so would that be so bad? He's also used to working with barmy chairmen so with everything considered, I'm surprised we aren't banging on his door right now.

I strongly believe niether should be approached without a strong DOF and a tactical no 2 ....

[T.J.Newton]

What's so special about Daum!, he just seems like a jobbing manager thats at a new club every year or two(with a few personal controversies along the way).

[Black Burn]

Just a quick one. People are saying "I don't want McCarthy he would take us up possibly, but take us straight back down". Well all the other names wouldn't get us up in the first place, therefore doesn't that make him a better option?

I would rather we take a young and inexperienced manager like Alan Shearer and slowly groom him in the Championship where losing is more forgiving, and he can slowly learn the ropes and move up the ladder rather than an instantaneous return to the Premier League only to see us fall back down. If we're going to get relegated anyway, might as well gamble on a young guy and groom him for the job. It's not the end of the world if we stay in the Championship for a couple of seasons - might even be beneficial for our young players and new manager as they slowly make the step up rather than thrown into a baptism of fire immediately. That's just me and everyone might prefer an instant promotion.

Keegan? Kean has already showed us trying to outscore the opposition with little thought for defending doesn't work.

Yeah and Kevin Keegan has already showed us that trying to outscore the opposition with little thought for defending doesn't work. Or you can put it this way - Kean has already showed us trying to defend a 1-0 lead by parking 10 men behind the ball doesn't work, but Jose Mourinho showed us it worked. Don't even compare Kean to Keegan - King Kev promoted 3 teams into the Premier League. THREE. People want McCarthy? Keegan's way better than McCarthy. Plus the teams he promoted had excellent achievements unlike McCarthy whose teams are always embroiled in relegation battle. Newcastle finished 2nd a few times under Keegan. And he saved them from relegation after the Allardyce debacle. Man City, apart from one season, finished in the top ten. He didn't stay at Fulham for long because he left to manage England. So I find it weird that the same people lauding McCarthy are so bent on criticizing Keegan.

Of course, the only thing is that Keegan always resigned after a while, which isn't good for club stability.

Good shout!

[DavidMailsTightPerm]

One for the conspiracy theories - wait to see what the Wolves crowd is, take a view on what our realistic match day income is, and then decide how much we can afford ?

The opposite view would be, whatever the gate - why risk potential promotion and the additional revenue in the Premiership.

[andymcg06]

What's so special about Daum!, he just seems like a jobbing manager thats at a new club every year or two(with a few personal controversies along the way).

Look at his win percentage and have a rethink.....

[DavidMailsTightPerm]

I am sure I read somewhere that his teams don't enter the box anywhere near as much as we did under Kean.

[Doug]

QPR losing after 3 mins. Hughsie may become available at this rate !!

[Black Burn]

What's so special about Daum!, he just seems like a jobbing manager thats at a new club every year or two(with a few personal controversies along the way).

Are you serious? Are you freaking serious?! I'll have you know those new clubs under him constantly finish around 2nd, he even won a League title once and a Europa Cup despite being 3-0 down with 17 minutes to go, but somehow galvanized his team to win 4-3. You don't even know his achievements and you're slagging him off? Now I'm not suggesting he'll be perfect for the job, but comments like this make you look like a troll, no offense......you seem like the type who wants Jose Mourinho, Frank Rijard or Pepe Guirdona (sorry, it's 3am here and I'm too tired to check the spelling of their names) to manage our club instead.

[blue_n_white99]

Hughes may be available soon they are 1 down after 3 minutes

[miqaayil]

What's so special about Daum!, he just seems like a jobbing manager thats at a new club every year or two(with a few personal controversies along the way).

Nothing much except he has more than 50% win percentage in most clubs he managed , and the a few league championship .... and supposed to take over the german national team if not for the drug/prostitution scandal .....

technically sound but too much personal baggage

[Pedro]

Hughes may be available soon they are 1 down after 3 minutes

I'd snatch their hands off.

That's just me and everyone might prefer an instant promotion..

It will be very bad if we stay in the Championship for a couple of seasons. Right now we have a bunch of players (Robinson, Olsson, Vukicevic, Givet, Rocinha) who can easily slot into the PL but who have stayed with us for now. We also have PL standard players on short term deals like Gomes, Etuhu and Murphy. Come a couple of years time the players in that first group will have either left or be about to leave as their contracts would be running out and I doubt they'd want to stay at a Championship club if they havent left already.

The biggest factor though is that the parachute payments dry up over the first two or three seasons, and we get diminishing payments every season. The longer it takes us to get up the lower the chances of us actually coming up, as after that the only thing we have to rely on financially is gate receipts, and given our crowds are comparitively poor even if a few start coming back and our ticket prices are one of the lowest in the league, financially we will be one of the poorer clubs in the league.

[roverandout]

hughes can't even get big spending qpr out of the bottom 3 and we want him?

[T.J.Newton]

can

Look at his win percentage and have a rethink.....

i'm sick of hearing about stats,thanks.

he's spent the last 10 years going from 1 club to another for various reasons, I thought Stability was one of the key things we need from a new manager, not somebody who could jump ship anytime without good reason.

[miqaayil]

Think he is having health problems ... but good shout ...
