So are Venky's aware of his appointment then. What happened to the end of the month?

This is what I'm thinking. Shaw is going all out to get the deal done but will Venkys sign it off?

If what's being said about the board meeting is true I think Shebby may be on his way soon enough. Seems to have lost this battle after his Berg balls up.

Surely they can't go as far as agreeing compo without Venkys say so. Saying that this is Blackburn.

could have been better but more likely would of been worse - Ali, Kevin McDonald, Sven, shebby!

It's more like a ticket to see travis. We really wanted to see the seahorses (Hughes) but I'd rather see travis than Ash (Steve Kean)

Space - Steve mclaren

Manics - Mark Bowen

Super Furry Animals - Poyet

Catatonia - Sven

Deacon Blue - Mickey Adams?

That's a very Welsh-britpop era list right there. My love of SFA makes me wish for a Poyet appointment.

That may be true of win ratios, but facts are quite relevant. And the fact is this is yet another gamble.

just like any other managerial appointment at any other club.

I've nothing else to say on the matter really, Shaw/Agnew have thrown down the gauntlet put up and find somebody better(without breaking the bank!) or clear off and the silence coming from Shebby is deafening.

So Appy times ahead hopefully.(sorry couldn't resist)

p.s. and the odds of us having three fugly bold managers in a row that are total failures must massively go in favour of him doing well :tu:

WHY THE KEAN is all our managers got no hair after kean .....if there is a next manager after appelton ...just choose a bald one ...

I'm surprised we haven't appointed Right Said Fred yet.

Anybody else feel this was sealed on the trip to Pune by the two idiots. Sold them on the fact that this guy put a team together for nothing in only a couple of days? They bought it hook line and sinker.

Looking at his Blackpool record he's only lost 2......drawn 8

Half full, half empty he's only won two, us and Posh. Draws won't get you anywhere.

Okay then, the fact is that this is another huge gamble that would be lessened had the appointment been based on experience.

Sorry I had to point that out if you weren't being pedantic.

Kazim may mean well but the bloke does come across as a total idiot that doesn't engage his brain before speaking

I enjoy his outspokenness, it's a breath of fresh air among the usual lines coming out of footballers' mouths. He's obviously not a fan of Berg and enjoys life under Bowyer so far, and probably doesn't want to change that if he feels Bowyer has confidence in him. I really rate CKR as a player, although his laziness can be really annoying at times.

well they wont get you relegated for a start!, which is what all the doom mongers(including myself at 1 time i think :blush: )have been predicting from the start of the season right up until the last 3 games.

And let's face it, beating us wasn't difficult under Bergs reign.

Okay then :) !, any manager joining this club under this regime is a huge gamble(and i'm not deliberately trying to be pedantic!, just positive.)

the bloke got Pompey relegated and hasn't exactly set the world on fire at Blackpool either.....

Very harsh saying he 'got them relegated', it was a miracle they did as well as they did under him.
