[Archived] Next Manager Part 2

[chaddyrovers]

Perhaps if we had a capable 'caretaker', but we don't - Black is as clueless as Kean.

If your right and OGS is the plan, and I don't think you are right, then we could do worse than give Tony Parkes a call who I think would jump at it for a few weeks.

it was just idea why we seem to be nowhere.

Maybe Rovers have spoke to OGS and he says he will come after his current team has finish the season, he will come but nothing can be release until the season has finish.

From the names from ESPN article, cant see Neville or Roy Keane coming to us. Maybe Larsson but what has he really done in Sweden. not much I believe.

[punkdisasters.com]

It's OGS not OLS. Derp.

Hahaha

Neville, OGS, Larsson Sherwood all possibilities along with Keane !

ESPN are Shebbys former employers and I'm almost certain that the unnamed source is Shebby himself, sounds exactly like what Shebby has been preaching for quite some time.

[broadsword]

This picture winds me up so bad

[dubdubdub]

But no help around him, a squad that was disembling and therefore had no consistency, he wasn't a manager and had the fans on his back constantly. No excuses that he wasn't good enough, no excuses that he wasn't a (more than) questionable character, but puts Holloways achievements into greater light.

Holloway's achievements are good i'd say considering the size of the club, fan base and income.

Regardless of the fact our squad was inconsistent owing to player sales, we still had and do have a better squad than Blackpool.

I'm not going to discuss the difficult circumstances because his level of involvement and relationship with the owners is an unknown one.

Obviously the fans were on his back so support in that sense I agree with.

I'm confident Holloway would do a better job than Kean.

It's probably also worth mentioning that if decisions had have gone Blackpool's way they would have stayed in the Premier League (at least according to this article) and subsequently would've finished above us.

yeah If you read the article it doesnt exactly fill you with confidence that someone would be appointed by the end of next week. Three winnable games gone, we could be in such a difficult position if we dont win some of them. The delays are going to make it a much more difficult job for who ever they employ. they should have been done with interviews this week having already supposedly got a shortlist together.

[Rover_Shaun]

kean up and Breweries

This is what happens when you have numptoids who don't know their arse from their elbow running the joint

And to think Shebby has a growing Shebbette fanclub too......beggars belief

Regardless of the fact our squad was inconsistent owing to player sales, we still had and do have a better squad than Blackpool.

The squad that beat Wolves on the last day of that season:

Blackburn: Robinson, Salgado, Samba, Jones, Givet, Emerton, Jones, Nzonzi, Olsson, Roberts, Hoilett (Pedersen 79)

Subs not used: Bunn, Dunn, Andrews, Santa Cruz, Mwaruwari, Diouf

We still had Sally, Samba, Phil Jones, N'Zonzi, Emerton, J.Jones, Junior, Roberts, Andrews, Benji, Kalanic was still there, Hell even Santa Cruz was back.

The squad was not hit by player sales. Kean was just awful beyond belief.

Didn't bother checking what someone had said and took it as fact.

That was a good squad.

Clearly. You win Braddock. I can't compete with your dark humour and wit.

Does every thread have to be about the dullest forum troll in the world? He's probably not even a Rovers fan.

On topic, I know a media guy who met Balaji for an interview not long ago, but before Kean resigned and he confirmed he's a Holloway fan. He said so himself right there and then. So interesting that Shebby is supposedly not pursuing that avenue.

Haha! And Braddock the Brain Heenan thinks that you can compare Kean to Holloway and say that Kean did better under worse circumstances. In the olde days it'd be wooden stocks and rotten veg. In the 21st century we allow them on web forums.

[ABBEY]

Tell you what though , to me it 100% proves to me that shebby didn't have any power or plans to sack numb nuts . 3 weeks later and it's still a farce. Is the woman in charge ( I include Pompey and risdale ) the most useless clueless owner in sports history? She's been to ONE game in her life Ffs the protest chicken even got closer to pitch than her. The silence from choke ya chicken land is deafening and I don't count shabbys muttering as statements either. A strong clued up owner would have spoken regular to the fans and I'm still close to sending my ticket back and never going again whilst the V's are here .

VENKYS OUT!!!

It really does beggar belief.

After tomorrow, league table might not look pretty - by the end of the week, we might just be screwed completely as far as promo is concerned.

Let's not kid ourselves, I think Black will be 99% certain that he wont get the job, the players know that and for some of the squad, it could well be reflected in their approach. Quite clearly, from some of his recent press statements, Black didn't agree with how Kean was setting-up the team - in that situation, you show some self respect and say that this isn't for me and walk, alternatively you stay and collect the cash !

Two points from the last three under Black, wouldn't bet against a similiar return from the next three.

[Roverthechimp]

Not at all. But I would argue that misinformation and rumours appearing on here often gets into the fans' heads whereby they think something is going to happen. Then it doesn't happen. Because it never was going to happen and there was no truth in it. I do think that plays a part in some angry posts and arguments on here. That's all I'm getting at.

Is anybody else getting to the point where you don't care anymore. Supporting rovers has become such a chore these days. Kean went and finally there was some elation and then venkys manage to screw up again and no one knows what the hell is going on

Actually convinced at this stage that no one outside the 3 stooges know whats going on...all the names been thrown about appear to be just to sell papers/keep people interested...raddy antic is the latest to be linked!

Goes to show that the people in charge of makin the call havent a clue! no real concrete links because there in none!! disgraceful!!

What it shows is that they found the mole and removed the flow of information...

If we only reacted to factual information instead of rumours then so far the chain of events has been: kean quits, we sift through applications, we sound out our favoured target, response is positive but his club refuse official permission and having just signed a 4 year contract he is not prepared to walk out, we continue negotiations whilst talking with alternative candidates. In the mean time we have a coach who is taking care of daily matters and hopefully has been able to drill in a better balance between defence and attack for the coming games (as seen by his repeated screaming at them during the matches to "get up the keaning pitch!")

Is it a perfect situation - no. Is it the end of the club and total disaster - is it Kean

Heard a quote from a friend along those lines yesterday confirming that this is what he's more than happy to do.

Indeed. Who went recently?

When we met the bespectacled one he was beside himself about who was releasing information to the press.

[philipl]

Current state of play is getting absurd even by the standards of the last 23 months.

And no klc, the flow of leaks is not staunched. Nobody could make mole traps fast enough...

Jesus wept! when you see that, it brings home the damage that has been done, appreciate some would have left whoever the manager was but they would have been replaced with players with at least first team ability.

So who do think, as opposed to who you would like, is going to land it ?

Sorry to disagree with you again Philip but that tells me you don't know where the main source of leaks were from. There may be other people leaking info now but they certainly aren't the ones that we're gushing forth to the press before.

The issue I and a lot of poeple seem to have is if that chain of events happened in under two weeks then fine, BUT its taken a lot longer and is likely to take at least another week or more. We have dropped points and theres a real danger of dropping more which could have very serious consequences for the club

The consequence you refer to is failing to achieve promotion at the first attempt. That may have happened anyway. Not that i disagree with you in that it would have been preferable to get a new manager in earlier but i don't agree that the consequences are devastating if it takes 4 weeks rather than 2 provided we get a suitable manager.

There are leaks everywhere throughout the whole club and it's mainly because everybody is just totally peed off with the situation and they want to start moving forward. The club is like a sieve at the moment because there is no unity/solidarity and people have no reason to keep any information private. A new manager, united with the board and owners can begin to put a stop to it, but it will take time. Long enough until everyone is fully united and behind the new man, in terms of those at the club.

Exactly- it is a collander. And that's before we start thinking about "creative PR".

My hot tip now would be Black.

Rijkard did throw his hat into the ring. However, he could not be considered despite being encouraged to apply...

My interpretation- Mrs D is running the show again.

[wandel77]

Danish media says, That Michael Schjønberg is in the running. I HOPE NOT, he is a great football director but not a manager.

[my_name_is_Earl]

My interpretation- Mrs D is running the show again.

If Mrs. D is running the ship again, we can't expect a big name manager as she has never been one to splash the cash, particularly now. That rules out all of the foreign so called 'big names'.

I think If not Sherwood or Holloway, it will be Robinson, Grayson, Davies or others of that ilk. Doubt Black will get it, this does not appease the majority of fans.

Roy Keane could very well be the dark horse here although i'm not sure if his relationship with Rhodes would change that.
