[Archived] New Manager

[dingles staying down 4ever]

in terms of what?

coming in as Coach to Hughes or as Manager???

listening to the latest podcast, Kamy was saying the new manager would be announce on the 1st of January

Did not mention Hughes.

I would be very surprise if Singh and his cohorts have picked the right man !!!

The new man needs to be strong and respected in the football world and be allowed to manage unhindered !

Not likely to happen , so come Easter we will be going through this charade again ....

If I was Singh ,I would be hammering on the door of Mark Hughes ........

According to the Lancs Telegraph, Shebby/Rovers are hopefully of appointing a new manager by tomorrow.

its says that Shebby has already send his favoured candidates to Owners venkys

Might it not be an idea to ask said candidates if they're interested first?

I can't see how they can expect to appoint a new manager tomorrow unless it is already done and dusted.

And if it has been done, surely it would have leaked.

and unless it's someone extremely underwhelming on both counts

[dingles staying down 4ever]

Are the North End two still in India? Shebby maybe hoping to get a new manager whilst those two are still pre-occupied and can't oppose him.

Could it be someone previously interviewed when Berg got the job so would not need interviewing again?

Makes me think it could be Grayson. I was potentially up for him last time round but hes on a Berg-esque run with Huddersfield right now.

[Waggy76]

Grayson is the Huddersfield manager ....

I cannot see it , think the new man will be unemployed ....

[bluefred]

o driscal would be a better choice than hughes,as he knows the championship and what needs to be done,hughes dosent

It won't be Di Matteo - one of the Venky's confirmed it wouldn't be the other day.

Nor should it be.

Average manager who got lucky by taking over a good, but underperforming Chelsea side.

Unbelieveably lucky to have 'Champions League winner' on his CV.

[blueboy3333]

Knowing these keans we'll probably get Gary Megson

[chaddyrovers]

My guess is the manager we are going to employ is currently unemployed.

most likely a Sean O'Driscoll or Sven tbh.

Why do we set these silly timescales if its not all in the bag

Shebby did the same last time and ended up rushing Berg in just to meet his deadline

I have a hope that the deal was done as per the goal.com article and the delay til tomorrow is a face saving exercise for shebby.

A number of people have heard tomorrow and i think they have from Pune not blackburn...

I was also thinking, all bad news seems to get leaked maybe just maybe nothing has been leaked because its good news.... #yeahright

Wow just wow. You might want to look at our league position first dude, the bloke has got zero chance of coming here as he is destined for bigger things.

[Pedro]

My preferred choice would be Grant Hanley as player manager.

Curiously, a certain Mr. Agnew is omitted entirely from that article. Hmm.
