[Archived] Tim Sherwood set to become Rovers manager

[chaddyrovers]

The odds on Tim Sherwood becoming next Rovers manager have come in a lot this morning. was 50/1 last night with Sky bet. now 1/2.

Dan Welsted ‏@Welsted 7m @BroadcastMoose Tim Sherwood will be next Blackburn manager. I've been told deal done late last night after compensation agreed with Spurs.

Ian Abrahams ‏@BroadcastMoose 6m

“@Welsted Tim Sherwood will be next Blackburn manager. told deal done late last night after compensation agreed with Spurs.” Interesting

don't know if this is true by the way

Has any of the 'In the Know' people have anything on this like Kamy???

Okay, so we are replacing our current 'manager', Gary Bowyer who has at least a tiny bit of managerial experience, and has been successful, for Tim Sherwood, who has no 'managerial' experience. Brilliant.

[MrT]

I hope not, Bowyers just fine for me, although i can just imagine the Shebby and Timmy love blossoming so nothing would surprise me

[tomphil]

More utter keaning stupidity if true. He'll be walking off with a huge pay off by christmas.

[martonrover]

Maybe this is why Shebby's coming back tomorrow?

He pushed hard for Sherwood when Kean left.

Sure, Shebby said he was backing Bowyer & the job was his but this is Pinnochio Singh we're talking about.

[Waggy76]

Hmmmm , think this may well be true !

Good move ?

No idea , strange move certainly !

[RibbleValleyRover]

He would be a bad appointment but then I thought the same about Bowyer getting the job. We are paying the price for a huge power struggle between people who don't know how to run a football club.

[John]

Who is Welsted?

[J*B]

I'd suggest people put money on Bowyer while he's at 6/1.

[47er]

LT clearly has no links with the Club if this is true.

I wouldn't write Sherwood off, has got the grounding with Spurs and was a a very intelligent footballer, but its still a gamble and none of them have come off so far

Feel sorry for Bowyer who mist have thought he had the job. Hope he stays on in another capacity.

Dear oh dear, what a bloody mess!

PS---- if its true, sorry Nicko!!

@andrew_cryer: Not sure why the sherwood rumours have resurfaced. The men involved don't know where they have come from either.

[roverandout]

been approached by brighton according to glen

[Cherry Blue]

Cannot be true. After recent "no experience" appointments that have failed, why would Venkys be so silly (yes I know!) to appoint someone again who has not been through the mill?

If true....Rovers v Spurs as a pre season friendly??

[MrT]

im not sure i believe the words of a used Porsche selling West Ham fan tbh

[Waggy76]

There is something afoot , Bowyer was going to be named last week , we have signed 3 players our have we ?

Typical Venkys , Agnew , Singh and that other tosser !

[Boner]

Last time Sherwood was linked Spurs wanted £2-3m compo. If we're still looking at those sorts of numbers I can't see Venkys going anywhere near.

[Therm]

I wonder if Shebby is chasing Sherwood for a Director of football position. Kamy had mentioned that this was a structure rovers were rumoured to be considering and Sherwood was upset at Spurs not to be offered the DOF role. Just a thought.

Just got 3/1 on bowyer defo worth a tenner

What site?

I definitely think there's something in it, ive said in the past that I belived Sherwood has always been Shabbys number 1 choice and he wont be truly content with anybody else,

Its a tricky one for me As im a little biased(Sherwood was easily my favourite player in his rovers days), but giving him the managers job would be yet another massive gamble and I imagine very very expensive one,

Unlike Berg and Appleton I think Sherwood has a lot more about him personality wise and will be far more liked and respected from the off y the players,

The real question for me would be where would this leave Bowyer? Back to the resrves(deserves better than that), Assistant to Sherwood(cant see that), leave the club(I imagine there will be quite a few clubs willing to make him their manager)

But this is just more speculation from an extremely inconsistent source(Nixon) and if there is nothing in it, the speculation alone going to yet again unsettle things at rovers.

A DOF role for Sherwood with Bowyer as manager would be more ideal.

Thought you were giving it a rest for a while!

Thought you were giving it a rest for a while!

not sure why your so interested?

But I'm at least going to avoid posting in the silly threads and only post when there is actually something new and of substance brfc wise to comment on(Like todays Sherwood rumours)

[Tyrone Shoelaces]

Can't say I'm too happy about that. I didn't think much of him as a player, I didn't like his attitude. Even his mum wouldn't have said he was a grafter. One of the sort of players who rely on other guys to get the team a foothold in the game, then they play. At least we'll have Bowyer in the wings if we have to blow Sherwood out if things go tits up again.

Speculation more fuelled by a random tweet to Ian Abrahams of Talksport than Alan I think.

Andy Cryer thinks nothing in it but I did wonder about Shebby's return being strategic.

We shall see.
