[Archived] New Manager?

[roversfan99]

5 Names:

David Raya

Tommy Spurr

Corry Evans

Jason Lowe

Nathan Delfouenso

These 5 piles of @#/? would struggle in Leagues 1 and 2.

Why does he keep playing that liability in net when we have 2 other senior goalkeepers, he kicks half of his clearances straight out of play, and always is about to make a mistake, he spilt a cross at Heskeys feet.

How has Tommy Spurr managed to dislodge our player of the season? Very limited player.

Jason Lowe is just pathetic, no footballing ability and as thick as pigshit, once we had Clough boxed near his own corner flag, Lowe runs in and fouls him.

Evans is about as bad, why sign Guthrie and not play him, Williamson is better than Evans and Lowe too.

And why sign Delefounso on trial, see at close hand how bad he is, then sign him anyway. We had 3 other of his signings in Lawrence, Koita and Barrow as subs, why not play one of them.

It was the much maligned centre half pairing who saved us from defeat last night. If those two weren't actually on the ball Bowton would probably have pinched it. If the centre of the park was as solid as those two we might have been able to launch some decent attacks. It's an absolute farce how the midfield is still so weak, after 30 odd players have been signed that pair in the middle shouldn't even be at the club anymore, it's something we learned two seasons ago.

Dug this up from the archives. I genuinely believe he could be a great appointment. Has worked wonders at Wycombe with no money. 2nd in the league this season, should have gone up in the play offs last season but for a last minute Southend goal. I saw them live in the play offs and was impressed by them.

I also like Ainsworth's style. Cool and composed in a confident way if that makes sense. Bowyer tries to be like that but clearly is a nervous character who lacks conviction and confidence.

I was impressed listening to him co-commentate on radio lancs when rovers were away at millwall, very critical of our negative tactics and style of play at 2 up. Ainsworth couldn't understand why we sat back and didn't go for the jugular. We drew 2-2! He was also passionate about rovers referring to us as 'we ' and 'rovers'.

Which leads me on to the fact he is a blackburn lad and rovers fan. This club is dying and it needs something or someone to galvanise it.

Another factor which is important is Ainsworth was once transferred for £2 million and played in the premier league for Wimbledon. The point being is one wonders what level of respect bowyer commands with the players given he didn't really have anything of a playing career. Ben Marshall might think twice about snubbing his manager as evidenced yesterday if he was a better right winger than Marshall will ever be.

Gary Rowett has shown managers can make the leap from league 2 to championship; Birmingham are worth a punt on promotion I believe.

I am also guessing Ainsworth and shaw will know each other from PNE in the mid 90s.

Great to see rovers fans referring to our own youth prospects as a "pile of @#/?".

In the middle of the BBE they were chanting Gary Bowyers Blue and White army quite a lot and it caught on a few times. A small group in the middle near the back kept trying to get it going in the second half.

On the manager thing I wouldn't touch Holloway with a barge pole these days. I think a few seasons ago if he came in at the beginning of the season he'd have done well. Not now though, if a change is to be made it'll probably only come when we are in the mire and he isn't the man for struggling clubs. Plus there is no way this lot could carry out his brand of football.

Well I was in the Blackburn end area NO1, I NEVER hear any chants re GB only uncle jacks blue and white army, I said to my son that it was telling I never heard ant GB chants, now if you were in the middle of the BBE you heard GB chants well sorry I never did, first half I don't think there was much chanting, second half our side go the BBE going so maybe there was some GB chants from 10 0r so, as I say I never heard any.

I sit is N01 in the BBE and all I could hear from every side of me was Uncle Jacks...

Any chants for GB would be quashed just by seeing the dross being played on the pitch!

Of those who have been criticised, who are you impressed and excited by????

Yep. Everything about this post is right. People need to forget about Lamberts, Holloways etc they just won't come. This club isn't exactly held in high regard these days - gone are the days of attracting big names, either established or up and coming. The past few years have been quite frankly a joke and everyone that supports this club is as equally embarrassed by it all. And Ainsworth would be included in that. What better than an up and coming manager, that saw the chance to play for his dream club slip away, to come back in our time of need to manage us? I can guarantee you he would have a lot more life in him on the 80th minute mark 0-0 at home to that shower of S**T than GB.

I wouldn't want GB to leave the club though. In an ideal world, one in which I live in now as a BRFC fan rather than the cruel real world, Ainsworth would come in as manager and GB slip back into his old position in the club. That won't happen though. Sigh.

I think that's totally unfair on David Raya. He's a young lad and been put in the squad by GB. To call him a pile of "@#/?" for simply trying to take his chance is typical of what people currently think of Rovers' fans: fickle. David Raya has a lot of potential and whilst it might be right to play Steele instead you should aim your criticism at GB rather than him. Raya needs encouragement from the fans not chastising.

One thing about Tommy Spurr is his delivery. That is a brilliant left foot.

I would give adkins a bell, I know he's at sheff utd but I'm sure he would jump at the chance to make the jump up to the championship (lots of jumping)

He says, she says....

Mate there was a group of guys at the back of NO4 who were trying to get it going on and off for about 5 mins. It was drowned out by your side with barmy army which then spread across the ground. I've no idea if it was heard across the other side or not but it was happening FACT. Not that it matters because it didn't catch on properly and that's the first time I've heard it all this season.

[roverandout]

Let me guess the group of people were chaddy, parson, jbizzle and bowyers wife

Swing and a miss! JBizzle sits behind me in the Riverside.

Could have been lol didn't have a Manilow twang to it though, it was literally just a small group but they where trying their best to get it going. Like I've said the fact it didn't take off says it all seeing as soon as uncle Jacks came drifting across everyone then joined in.

[roverandout]

Maybe he can throw his voice?

[Stuart]

They phrase it differently but this is the line used by Bowyer's supporters to excuse why Bowyer doesn't play them and even sells them.

[Rover_Shaun]

Let me get this right. You are all catching on, over 2 years late, as to the serious limitations of the manager but all the furore is over whether someone chanted his name?

Perspective needed and refocus.

[USABlue]

Holloway. Another lunatic to add to the asylum.

In his last 4 jobs he has left 3 having been relegated or with the club well down the path towards relegation. Leicester, Palace, Millwall.

The only real success on his cv has been Blackpool, who are really incomparable to any other professional football club in the way they do their business. Holloway has managed to build his entire managerial reputation around an 18 month spell at Blackpool rather than the other 15 years in his managerial career where he has been mediocre at best.

He is however extremely well qualified to manage us. He keeps chickens.

Any new manager who comes in would surely end the pally atmosphere and bring in a coach to perform that role, whilst he got on with the ruthless job of picking the team.

He'd almost certainly look at the squad and install the most experienced players and give Kilgallon the arm band. Players would be given a game plan and be organised and motivated. He'd pull in favours from his contacts in the game and get another couple of old heads instead of recruiting more enthusiastic youngsters. He'd have a plan B and he would suss out the best XI on merit not age. He would expect to be under pressure to achieve results.

Sadly the main requirement seems to be to increase player values. This is very easy to do by bringing in players with little or no experience and giving them game time (harder to increase their value by millions, granted, but going to get even harder). The issue I have is that Bowyer appears to be complicit in this strategy. So instead of being the honourable non-Kean that we were promised is asking everyone to 'realise what they're trying to do here', instead of walking and giving Venkys a dilemma.

I know, what a dumbass business model. Surely the best way to profit is to get promoted even Venkys should see that.

Yet again Abbey you dont like different views that dont suit your point of view so why come on here?

Would you two just get a room already

[chaddyrovers]

I like Ainsworth alot and he is a Blackburn lad/fan who has managing Wycombe and done very well there considering the financial problems.

Good spot captain obvious

[tomphil]

If Ainsworth could come here and do a Gary Rowett type job I don't thing many would complain. If GB moved on he's left a half decent base for someone to work with so a new guy has a fighting chance unlike the mess post Kean. Gaz's work here is done now he's re laid the foundations. It's time for the next stage.

[Gav]

You'd think with Billionaire owners they'd break the bank for a decent manager, a top quality appointment, someone thats been, seen and done it.

So Craig Short it is.......

[tomphil]

Thing is pretty soon a change will need to be made out of desperation not just for the sake of it. If we lose the next two which is highly possible the dice will have to be rolled out of necessity. They may well have to roll in Shortys direction

We may as well stick with Bowyer tomphil, Short has less experience than Bowyer, the defense is rubbish on his watch also, but he'd be cheap and willing and we know thats the Venky way, in other words we're fooked.
