[Archived] Gary Bowyer

[Guest Norbert]

I bet he's the life and sole of the party though Aberdeen Blue. Let's hope for his sake that he never gets collared by the police for drink driving afterwards, like Kean. Prison wouldn't suit a man like him.

[Aberdeen Blue]

His style of football is dire. We need width for Jordan to prosper not fullbacks tux in.

[patrickvalery]

Kenny Jacket? No thanks. He's a right spud.

Sorry.

[Boner]

He'll have to deal with the spats in the dressing room.

[John]

Wonder who is in charge of drawing up the contract.

[DavidMailsTightPerm]

Would anyone want Kenny Jackett?

Edit: oops wrong thread

I had heard he wanted Taylor as his no 2

[Athlete]

lets be honest unless there's a change of ownership GB will be the best we can hope for cos no one worth there salt is going to work for this circus especially with Shebby lurking around

[davulsukur]

Will the LT be running another Bowyer to be confirmed today line?

[rovers_rob]

Today's LT reporting we missed out on Baptiste and the headline of Chris Flanagan's column is "Why are we still waiting ?"

Apparently contracts have been finalised and a press statement has been prepared but still no go ahead from Venkys.

[Rover_Shaun]

He knows why we are still waiting. Venkys have yet to give the green light.

When is the next board meeting in Pune for the "any other business" footnote lip service they give the club?

[OJRovers]

Why are the LT backing Bowyer so much?

I don't think he'd be everyone's first choice, given how it went with the string of coaches we've appointed over the last 2 years.

no shock we are still waiting for Venkys is. we need the manager situation, season tickets and next season's shirts sorting out.

Also the LT is saying that Bowyer is after Oldham's striker Matt Smith who is out of contract this summer. He's a target man type of striker and I think he scored against Liverpool in this season FA cup.

Also the Daily Mirror is now reporting in today's newspaper that Gary Bowyer hopes to be named as the new Blackburn boss today and end the club's transfer stalemate. Bowyer wants to sign David Jones from Wigan on a free

don't think they are to be honest.

they have been reporting that Bowyer is likely to be next permanent manager

Bowyer to sign David Jones from Wigan on a free

Is that he wants to, or is set to sign?

[chaddyrovers]

wants to. would be good signings.

Bowyer seems to be looking to sign out of contract players. so far Bowyer has lined up Taylor, Judge, Eastwood and wants to line up to sign Jones and Smith.

[Sparky Marky]

league 1 players, the lot of them.

[Athlete]

Sign league one players we all know where we'll end up

[T.J.Newton]

I think Rhodes(and Williamson to an extent) has shown that the difference player quality from league 1 to the championship is nowhere near as large as the drop down from prem to championship.

[ABBEY]

Thank you jerome

I think Rhodes(and Williamson to an extent) has shown that the difference player quality from league 1 to the championship is nowhere near as large as the drop down from prem to championship.

Definitely. Signing the best players from League One (which Judge certainly is) is a very good idea at this level.

I think Smith is a decent wildcard option from the bench. We had absolutely no plan B last season. Last 10 minutes, throw Smith on and hope Rhodes can profit from the chaos he causes. It works at this level. Obviously you don't want to build the team around him.

I really hope we can sign Jones. If we can go into next season with him and Williamson we know we've got a solid base. Hopefully we can get rid of some of the high earners and add some quality to these solid ones.

[T.J.Newton]

and getting them on the cheap(likely just a signing on fee and a championship salary) Cant really complain(though there's always a few gits), We do still need a real leader(or 2) in the team though(Primarily in defence imo)which would likely cost real money.

The real tests will be keeping hold of our best players(not that there's to many of them) and getting shut of as many of the useless leaches from the squad as possible.

[ABBEY]

Aye Rhodes is / was cheap as chips

[Rover_Shaun]

Aye Rhodes is / was cheap as chips

He was in the end as he stopped us dropping into league 1 where TJ would find it harder to tub thump for Venkys

[rovers11]

Matt Smith is a decent option from the bench but nothing more than that. Won't start ahead of Best/Rhodes/Rochina/DJ

[Rover_Shaun]

DJ Campbell isn't listed on the clubs first team player profile page....hopefully this means the diabolical rumour that we are stuck with the duck egg is false

[T.J.Newton]

Has there been any kind of confirmation on DJ?(all I've seen personally is a few speculative rumours)
