[Archived] New Manager Part 3

[roverandout]

giant, im commited, flitty isnt bright either, i would also do the job for a cheap wage, maybe they should give it to me, cant believe anyone would be happy with this, some supporters are really thick

[RoverScot]

?Ripley

Stuart Ripley is a lawyer now.

[Tyrone Shoelaces]

It would be a very strange appointment - why would Shebby pick them?

Because he's a keaning idiot !

[Blue Cabbage]

Marton - Ripley is a lawyer or was certainly working towards a law degree

[ABBEY]

?Ripley

hes a lawer ? but thats what they said tho.No idea if its true just what i heard.

[Reedy You're A Star]

two suits were overheard by self chatting on BBE cark park as i locked my bike,no idea who they were but one told the other Ripley had been there all day today sorting severence pays. That was all i heard.

and he's bringing Atkins in as assistant and Kenna in as coach?

[tomphil]

They aint going to give us what we want or need they never have. They are not going to go for experience cause they can't afford it. It is and always was going to be a cheap option so we'll have to take the best of a poor bunch. We are going to have to get behind someone sooner or later or the club might as well just give up !

[martonrover]

So what's the severance pay to Chorley? Half a dozen meat pies?

[Tyrone Shoelaces]

If Flitcroft does get given the job and happens to be a success I take it all those who are currently disgusted by the news will still stay away from the club. Also, I still can't get it round my head how some people on here have suggested that the likes of Salgado and Neville could be good appointments despite them having no managerial experience at all.

I can't say I would be particularly happy if Flitcroft did get the job but he would still give him the chance to prove himself first. Afterall, everyone has to start somewhere.

You're having a laugh pal. " Start somewhere " ! This is Blackburn Rovers not Bacup Borough !

Black said he should be in charge for Saturday.

[tomphil]

Marton - Ripley is a lawyer or was certainly working towards a law degree

He's works for a Manchester law firm and specialises in football stuff.

[roverandout]

then i will give up, i cant support this regime any more, ;had enough,, i probably wont go on saturday

[Mike E]

He works for a firm in Manc. Would make sense for him to deal with footy legal stuff.

[roverandout]

hope black is telling the truth, never thought i would say that

[G Somerset Rover]

Black said he should be in charge for Saturday.

Well he did get the one win which will probably now land him the gig full time...

[Salgado Is A Hero]

Apart from being at Rovers around the same time would Simon Grayson be aware of Flitcroft and Jansen's stint at Chorley ? Just trying to make sense of the Flitcroft thing and can't see any further than being ass manager , backroom staff etc

Still think the actual manager's job up for grab

Can't see it personally....."we'll give you the job but here's your backroom staff"....."no thanks"......he's not exactly desperate to leave H'field.....they have a rich owner who wouldn't even accept 20 million for Rhodes

I'm gonna wait and see but I've prepared myself to be initially extremely underwhelmed.

You might want to edit that...

Managerial Record to date.

Flitcroft has been manager of Chorley since May 2010 after joining from Leigh Genesis.

In his first season, he secured promotion from the Northern Premier League First Division North and then guided the team to second place in their first season back in the Premier Division, although they missed out on a second successive promotion after being beaten by FC United of Manchester in the play-off semi-final.

The club is currently placed sixth in the table this season, seven points off top spot.

[roverandout]

can honestly say i would rather black have it than captain 'fantastic', and i dont want either

[Mercer]

Interesting that Cryer has not knocked this rumour on the head.

All betting suspended.

Unfortunately, looks like a done deal.

[BuckyRover]

I would rather Black than Flitcroft.

That's not saying much though

[roverandout]

wow, that merrits the rovers job, non-league football

[neophox]

Maybe sorting Steve Kean's severance pay off.....maybe thats why everything take so much time to get a new manager in......

I don't think we will see Garry Flitcroft.

There's something else in the iron......

[Blue Cabbage]

Thought he was an actual lawyer, just didnt know much more from that.

Severance for in or out? Surely can't be one for shagger...!!!!

[Blue n White Rover]

Betting is usually suspended during/after a game. Wouldn't worry about that.
