[Archived] New Manager

[Ewoodbhappy]

An interesting quote in Karen Brady's Sun Column.

"It seems a manager is not for life, but not even for Christmas as Blackburn sack Henning Berg after just 10 matches in the job.

it mereley emphasises the problems newly-relegated clubs tend to have in the Championship.

Bolton, Wolves and Blackburn all sit dangerously close to the drop zone.

It just goes to show what an exceptional job Sam did for West Ham last season, backed by two fantastic chairmen.

We appointed him because we knew he had the belly for a grinding battle - NO FUTURE IN APPOINTING APPRENTICES."

Now there's some common sense speak. I just wish the loons in Pune would wake up and appoint some common sense football people, or feck off.

As for Karen Brady V's Mrs D. Hmmmmmm? Thats not such a tough question.

Rosado is supposed to be a good one, we've all seen glimpses from Nunes so I can understand him being involved. Gomes was in great form alongside Rhodes early in the season so he probably deserves to be given a shot if fit. Not seen enough of Jorge to know if he's any good, edinho junior didn't look good enough.

alot of talk going around that 6 portugese players are starting for rovers today?!

then i see a tweet from cryer saying i hope you know the portugese anthem.....if this is true then seriousley what the hell is going on.

edit: ive been trying to find if we have that many portugese players on the books.... i know of rosado, fabien nunez, nuno gomez and edninho...

Team today From: Henrique, Nunes, Formica, Jorge, Edinhio, Gomes, Rochina, Samdeloski, Ribero, Rosado then. Which will feature???

+ others Rhodes, Olsson, Henley, Hanley etc...

[bluefred]

so if there is 6 portugese starting, that means .. jorge, edinhio, gomez, nunez, henrique and rosado will start?

[Gav]

I do think Tom Finn would come back to help, albeit on a 'temporary' basis, as he's a genuine guy with a love for the Rovers.

Absolutely mercer, but rational thinking isn't part of Venkys makeup, so we can forget that one sadly.

well they are the portuguese ones out of the strange assembly above. (The question is are the other ones classed under the same banner e.g portuguese speaking Formica/Ribero).

ah yeah thats true,

off topic im watching hull at the moment, and we are no were near as good as this, they look so composed and able to create chances at will.

Nuno Gomes and Fabio Nunes are still injured.

Edinho hasn't played for the reserves so I doubt he will play today.

So maybe Henrique, Rosado and Paulo Jorge are going to be involved, probably on the bench.

Formica speaks spanish, ribeiro speaks portuguese.

I think that our midfield is the worst part of the team so promoting someone from the reserves to play theremakes sense. It didn't have to be Paulo Jorge.

[Tyrone Shoelaces]

I've no real interest in trying to second guess the actions of our owners. If I was that smart I'd be in the national newspapers as a fortune teller. All I know is as long as they are involved with the club it'll be a disaster zone.

Gomes tweeted this morning that he's hoping to play today.

[chaddyrovers]

Gomes in squad. was on his twitter page last nite.

hopefully Rhodes and Gomes.

We dont know who pick the team, but maybe Bowyer has chosen some of the reserves cos he think they deserve a chance like Hugo Fernandez

[dwayne cage]

Are we supposed to be put out of our misery today?

Why are these posts in the New Manager thread and the match thread is virtually abandoned?

The board is about as messed up as the club at the minute!

[OJRovers]

There was talk of shebby's agent mate getting a cut of Gomes' appearance fees

[philipl]

There is talk of an unlicensed Malaysian agent and cake cutting of the unexpected agent's fees on these cheap or no transfer fee players.

[Mullionvagrant]

Who is in charge/picking the team today Bowyer or Shebby? (and is this likely to be the actual situation).

Has anybody gone on record officially to announce todays management set-up i.e caretaker manager/2nd etc.....

[dwayne cage]

Gomes tweeted this morning that he's hoping to play today.

Says on SSN he's out.

Possibility of a global adviser and an unlicensed agent being one of the same? Just asking...

Lanc Telegraph:-

http://www.lancashiretelegraph.co.uk/sport/9911901.Kean_admits_he_has_not_seen_signings__live_/

Portuguese defender Nuno Henrique and midfielder Diogo Rosado, and Polish goalkeeper Grzegorz Sandomierski, were all signed last Friday, with Kean admitting he had little to do with their arrival.

Rovers have now signed six Portuguese players this summer and the Rovers boss confirmed they have mostly been brought in by global advisor Singh.

"I have not seen them play live, Shebby was very excited about them coming and was telling me how good they were". Kean

"Shebby Singh has identified these players (The Portuguese players). These players have been identified by Shebby, he has been very excited about the technical ability of these players. You can’t have too many good players" Kean

When is SSN ever right on anything? @#/? channel that.

Either Gomes lying or he's suddenly picked up a knock since this morning.

[Lathund]

Formica is Argentinian. Not Portuguese, Brazilian, Angolan, Mozambican, Bissau-Guinean or from any other Portuguese-speaking nation.

[adsfortheblues]

No Portuguese in the team at all. (Starting 11)
