[Archived] Gary Bowyer

[martonrover]

Well maybe they're going to take proper advice? Maybe they're going to appoint a CE first?

Or maybe they're not.

Or maybe they're enjoying the IPL cricket and can't be bothered.

chant for next season on the slim chance of seeing a venky .. "you're not fit, you're not fit. You're not fit to run our club, You're not fit to run OUR club!"

Yeah. Can't imagine they have the faintest clue as to what's needed here.

[Steve Kean's Hypnotoad]

Maybe they think everyone in football chills out and puts their feet up in May and June. They've probably given everyone at the club 2 months off.

My chants at them were a tad stronger than that haha

[LeChuck]

Absolute joke. This will rumble on for weeks, if not months. You just know it. Still no decision on Shaw, no decision on Bowyer, no decisions made on our playing staff.

Looks like no lessons have been learnt once more, although can any of us really be surprised?

Why should we make a snap decision though?

I'd rather we let the managerial merry-go-round commence and see who becomes available. Bowyer isn't going anywhere else so what's the rush?

[Exiled in Toronto]

Ho hum. Years of mediocrity and failure ahead. Is there noone left at the club with any ambition at all? We keep saying it, but Jack Walker wouldn't have entertained any of the current encumbents at Ewood.

I can't see any way out of this total mess now. Not even if Venky's sell up. We're shafted.

Given his appointments of Harford and Kidd when we were a top, top club, I'm not sure that's a great yardstick to use.

[thenodrog]

The fact that GB has toddled off on his hols again, without a decision, is typical Loons. Usual carnage, can't make a decision to save their lives. Meanwhile the club suffers, fans are frustrated, players haven't got a clue (up with the [card]board on that one), and everything stagnates. Another typical day in La La Land..........

It's only early May! I don't think a decision needs to be rushed just to coincide with Bowyers holidays! I know Venky's track record is one which would form the plot line of a Carry on Film but in this instance I really don't see what Bowyers holidays which he prob booked months ago has to do with anything. It's hardly like people are not contactable these days is it?

Nobody should be expecting that Gary Bowyer would want to stay at the club in its current state.

I was meaning the likes of Venky's, Shaw, Agnew and Singh. Not Bowyer.

Come on Abbey lets have the truth !

How much did you pay that kid for chucking the snowball ?

What was it £5 if you hit any of em, £10 for madam ?

[roverandout]

best decision they have made, play the field, wait till sir alex decides to come out of retirement because hes bored of playing golf. perfect!!!

if I had paid it would have been a half a Charlie. (not the Drug)

Venky's seem to manage to be

I was fooled by this being the Bowyer thread. No disagreement on that, although Jack's chosen, hand-picked trustees and his family seemed ok with Venky's and the highly reputable, upstanding businessman who brought them and assorted bankrupts and conmen to the table.

Not sure why you seem to be having a go at Jack in all of this? surely you don't think he's responsible for the current crisis.

Please don't confuse planned, considered decisions that take time with sitting on your hands for weeks only to make a rash, ill-informed, hurried and hopelessly wrong choice.

[G Somerset Rover]

Exactly Bryan. Le Chuck - you give Venky's far too much credit! They'll no doubt leave Boweyer hanging all summer before appointing him at the start of August.

[RevidgeBlue]

I wouldn't be unhappy at all if Bowyer were to be appointed permanently, but a decision needs to be made one way or the other asap.

We have a forest of deadwood to try and cut down, one or two players need hanging on to and who knows if one or two more of our slightly better players other than that might become unsettled if the situation drags on over the summer.

That is my main reservation about him. Can he do a hatchet job on that squad and wheel and deal them out of here? I think that takes a different talent than being simply a good coach.

Only time will tell - but even though Murphy has always heavily backed him - he was prepared to drop him when we had better alternatives in midfield.

Appleton dropped Murphy......didn't he?

[DE.]

Appleton dropped Murphy......didn't he?

Initially, but Bowyer could quite easily have brought Murphy right back into the team - he didn't, though. For most games Murphy wasn't even in the squad.

[ABBEY]

I think he was more scared of the fans reaction to playing him.

[Tom]

I think he was more scared of the fans reaction to playing him.

Absolutely

The fact he was very rarely even on the bench at home yet started at Cardiff away pointed towards that IMO
