[Archived] New Manager

[thenonda]

Suspect that he doesn't know as much as what he would like us to believe and hence the vagueness of some of his ramblings.

Or he is watching the game and not on the Internet.....

[Blue blood]

So they sacked Berg and an entire back room team, with no personnel lined up to replace them. Well done Venkys, outdoing yourselves once more. So 5 days on and no closer. I thought it was strange that there was no leak of a name - most likely due to the fact that they haven't got a clue themselves!!!

Totally agree. Another smooth move in the Venkeys play book. Thought knowledge of any type of business or just common sense would've prevented this muck up though.

i understand the need for a fresh start, but like you´ve pointed out, that clearout should have been done, with a set of replacements lined up.

just me speculating, but i could see them dragging and delaying the proces, that way a new manager wouldnt have the time to:

1. evaluate the team properly

2. have the time to look for other players and as a result

3. Wont spend any money.

like i said, just pure speculation on my part, but with the V´s, you just dont know what to expect.

4. Shebby, he who must not be named, and any other agents/parties involved will get to spent our money and stick their self-interested oar in unhindered in the transfer window.

It is Peter Taylor according to Radio Lancs.....God help us!

It is Peter Taylor according to Radio Lancs.....God help us!

They mentioned odds tumbling, don't think they said it was definite. He is technically an experienced manager...

[Clairemorris]

Really Preston Blue?

I may have misheard as I was bringing in a satsuma from my kitchen....but I am sure that is what the presenter said.

The fact that I have to ask who is unsurprising.

[pontyrover]

At least Taylor is a proper manager - always passionate on the sidelines and can dish out a bollocking. Best we can hope for under Venkys. Ok, his record in recent years isn't great but he did well with Hull and made Beckham England captain.

The presenter said something like 'with speculation surrounding Peter Taylor whose odds have been tumbling for the job.'

[Aberdeen Blue]

Good God, was Ron Atkinson not answering his phone?

[Mike Graham]

Satsumas make it difficult to hear properly.

It has not been mentioned again on Radio Lancs so I will put it down to temporary hearing difficulties. Just off for a couple of juicy dates.

[chaddyrovers]

It is Peter Taylor according to Radio Lancs.....God help us!

who said this? any sightings of him. i havent seen him.

[BRFC_Pilkz]

Great, Peter Taylor a man who got sacked by the Bahrain national team! Inspiring!

[Dunnfc]

If it is Peter Taylor that's me finished.

Just Why, what made this clown stand out, ffs id rather have brown.

[Eddie]

I really wish fans would stop this nonsense about 'if it is so-and-so I'm finished'.

Give any new manager the chance to prove himself.

What are we? Chelsea supporters?

[DE.]

If Taylor's the best they can do they might as well stick with Bowyer. Am hoping this is just a baseless rumour.

[Dunnfc]

In any appointment in any business Eddie, you need proved experience and pedigree.

Sacked by Wycombe, Bradford, Palace, Bahrain and spunking the honey pot on Ade Akinbiyi is certainly not, what BRFC should be looking for.

Another opportunity missed. I used to give a damn about this club, id go to ewood over work, my family etc could you envisage doing that now... I ve lost something where i don't think il ever have the same level of passion again to put BRFC first.

I can appreciate your comments Eddie, but i doubt you catch a jet from Paris to see Rovers play? I like most others used to religiously every weekend, be down at Ewood, rain, snow , ice We would leave work early... miss the family etc.

How many BRFC fans do that now, id rather go the cinema or spend time with my partner now.

[Amo]

Let's just wait and see first, eh?

Until then...

[Grabbi Graeme]

Reporter at Ewood for Sky Sports has mentioned Peter Taylor as the name doing the rounds at Ewood

[Dunnfc]

Hopefully its just another unfounded rumour, venting some steam lads.

[Mercer]

If it is Taylor, suggests Venky's lost confidence in the 3 stooges and are listening to someone else who must be even worse !

Spoke with my mate the bookie and he turned down a sizeable bet from a 'randomer' this lunchtime. Alarm bells were ringing straightaway as Taylor has come from nowhere. He said he'd still take a bet on anyone other than Taylor. He made a couple of calls and a similar pattern elsewhere - unfortunately, looks like he's the man.

What are we?

angry and out of tolerance?

Do you get a little warm fuzz inside when you write one of your "itk" or "my mate down the pub" stories?

Bleating scandalmonger

No claims to be 'ITK', only post what I hear. Sometimes proves right, sometimes it doesn't.

As for scandalmongering, Taylor odds on from nowhere - that's factual isn't it ?

[John]

BBC - Singh says appointment imminent and could be announced tonight - refused to comment on Taylor.
