[Archived] Next Manager

[yoda]

I went down to the Remembrance ceremony at Ewood this morning and fully expected Derek Shaw to be there but he wasn't. I know he only bothers coming in to work a few days a week but would have been nice to show his face. Maybe he was busy talking to a prospective manager, or maybe, just maybe, Venkys have told him where to go.

He was yesterday !

I reckon the Venky's are waiting for Moyes to be potted, as advised by Degsy

[Torgeir]

Just can't see Lambert being hired. Hopefully I am wrong because he could do a lot here. It just Venky's we are talking about here. They haven't done anything right when it comes down to a huge desicion like this. Lambert seems like a guy who could take a challenge like this job. But again, would Venky's pay him wages he is used to? Really hope this is the turning point for the club but we have to wait and see.

I see it as a win win situation for any manager coming in. Probably decent wages, club in a little mess sitting in 16th and under performing. Huge task to get promotion, if it fails and he's sacked a parachute payment awaits and his reputation intact (blame the Venky's). I think they have someone lined up already, only small details (like getting backroom staff deals sorted) remain.

I do think the club needs to figure out its financial strategy more than anything. We can have the best manager in the world, but if we can't get out (and stay out) of the transfer embargo, we will have little or no muscles when it comes to fighting for promotion. Our best chance of promotion was a straight bounce back up after a season or two in the Championship.

For sentimental reasons I'd love Souness back, but he might be so much out of touch by now, my second choice would be Pearson and third Lambert. Would be more than happy with Lambert and since he's been out of a job for a while he might feel he has something to prove.

Great! Now ive got to go to the bogs for a wa**, cheers.

Part of me expects another dobbin/novice to come in. So I am trying to ignore the hope of a Lambert, and I expect Gullit, Jewell or Tony Adams.

It is being reported that Lambert will be announced later today as the new Blackburn manager along with Alan Irvine as his assistant, fantastic if true, also rumours Degsy not part of Bowyer sacking or New manager looks like hes potted as well, what a good week this could be.

[T J Hooker]

If we pulled this off sacked degsy and got john Williams back in that would be truly magnificent.

That also says that jokanovic isn't interested in the Rovers job

[Roverall]

Would anyone else take a punt on Gary Megson? Knows the area, we could probably get him on a cheap rolling contract.

I would melt down my season ticket if we appointed Megson.

When the likes of Pearson, Lambert, Moyes and Sherwood are available - no, not for me.

Maybe it went something like this ; -

" Well Madam D we are both very grateful for the offer and would normally jump at the chance to work for you at your historic football club,

but unfortunately my assistant refuses to work with Mr Shaw as he considers him to be a shyster and a right plonker."

" Oh we know that gentleman, don't worry I've been waiting for an excuse to pot him for ages "

The only good thing about Megson is Burnley hate him.

Why even bring it up? He's absolute clown shoes.

According to Nixon, Lambert hasn't said yes yet and this is all Balaji's project.

Balaji throwing his money in again? Last time that happened we got Rhodes.

Fingers crossed.

Only mention Megson as I got a text an hour ago off a guy I used to work with saying Megson was in Khyber's in Whalley at a table with 'small tubby fella wearing a jacket with Rovers emblem...'

Could be BS but this is Venky's isn't it?

Megson might have wanted some shelving for his shed
