[Archived] New Manager

[beerwins]

Wonder why the manager wasn't named earlier in order to boost sales for tues game

Your looking for common sense. ...first mistake.

[imy9]

I'd settle for a world champion multi winner and as for last night Barnes fault ffs

Oh come on Abbey the bloke shook his hand and tried to follow it up with a hug (happens a lot in darts ive noticed) and Taylor gets the hump. Barney is a top bloke and you could tell there was no malice, Taylor just through a wobbly, his interview afterwards was almost as bad as Shebbys! (I did say almost lol)

Imy, you are already looking to pick holes at this appointment. If its a really bad appointment, then fine, but for all we know, it might not even be Davies.

[The Rover of Finland]

I bet nobody in the club hasn´t got even a clue who to interview to the job.

[martonrover]

Agnew might as well tweet it himself

Rubbish.

What chance has any journalist got trying to discover what's likely to happen at Rovers?

It looks like a repeat of the last fiasco with the warring factions putting their own candidates forward.

Will probably end in the same unsatisfactory result.

Any other club would identify their first choice and go after them, moving on to subsequent choices if necessary.

We all remember being told what a great interview Berg gave!

[dwayne cage]

Think of the most unlikely person in the world of football and it will be them.

Its bound to be Paul Merson

[roverandout]

the more i think about davies, the more i warm to it, hes done a good job wherever hes been, (might be the drink talking) still not the sexy name i was hoping for, im still hoping for a hoddle or a hughes

[AndyC]

I would doubt the Glen Hoddle story. He is an Anderson client I believe, so I think that would rule him out.

You think he's not involved anymore? I doubt it very much

The best Shebby had ever seen.

He's proven at this level, won't put up with cr@p from Singh or 'The Shadow' (Agnew) so could be a good appointment.

Andrew Cryer‏@CryerRovers

Mark hughes people have also confirmed to me again today, he is not in the running and doesn't want to be

[roverandout]

question is will singh put up with him?

Good the money he spent at QPR and on what? Pure rubbish

[chaddyrovers]

Northern Rover‏@Northern_Rover

I am told as of 3 hours ago there was a battle royale going on RE whose recommendation the owners would go with Shebby or Shaw.

Northern Rover‏@Northern_Rover

No idea which way they will go, so any names being suggested at moment are jumping the gun.

[folkdevil]

Spoke to someone on Twitter earlier that's met Glenn Hoddle today.Told me nothing was said about any new job.

Sportingintelligence blog

5.14pm And finally …. about 20 minutes before I started this live blog, my mobile phone rang.

The caller asked to speak to me, and then introduced himself as Judan Ali, a man who has been touted as the next manager of Blackburn.

I have never met Mr Ali, and before that phone call I had never spoken to him.

He wanted to ask my view of what was going on at Blackburn Rovers.

You couldn’t make this up, and reader, I am not making this up.

Mr Ali explained that he had been invited to watch training at the club in recent weeks as part of his coaching development; he is partaking in an FA scheme to boost the number of black, Asian and ethnic minority coaches.

I don’t believe, from our conversation, that he is seeking or feels able to take a managerial role at Blackburn. You wouldn’t, would you, when you have no managerial experience in English football?

Anyway, whatever happens, I wish Blackburn the best, and Mr Ali the best.

And whoever you support – have a healthy and prosperous new year.

Tardyrover.... You sound like you know something and are excited about it..

[Proudtobeblue&white]

Feck me, if they are waiting for the owners to make a decision we are royally in the doo doo!

[Hasta]

Billy McKinlay now clear third favourite. Shortened up practically every few minutes since 7.30pm

Was second fav on Paddy Power briefly before they pulled the market.

Maybe Balaj has said it's going to be 'Billy' and no-one knows which one.

Don't follow, I was talking darts with abbey?

They're still confused about our relegation, the simply cannot understand how it happened.....idiots.

[Tom]

Lots of rumours today mainly of Davies

Myself I wouldn't like to even try to predict which way it will go as I've really no idea

[CapeTownRover]

Apologies Imy, think I was reading Dens posts and after that I just lost track with the whole darts talk.

Afraid not, I'm as clueless as everyone else, I'm definately not an 'in the know '
