[Archived] Next Manager

[Gav]

Sound like you are missing Gordon, Gav and now looking for a cheaper replacement

Don't you EVER call den a cheaper replacement 😡

[ada2020]

Good news that he's gone, about three months over due in my opinion.

Some folk need to chill the heck out a little though, I know it's venkys and we should expect the unexpected but pi***** in your pants because they didn't hire Lambert/someone today is a little premature.

Few clubs ever announce the replacement the next day, if for no other reason than out of respect for the departing manager. Doesn't mean there isn't someone else lined up and ready to go, everyone knew Klopp was signing for Liverpool but it wasn't made official until four days after Rogers departed.

It may be misplaced belief but I believe they have someone ready to go, and very few people will know about it until they want us too.

Just have to sit tight in the meantime, and try not to have a "small breakdown"!

Well well well ! GB sacked. Lambert nailed on by the bookies who are always right.

Still no appointment. I hope it's not "out of the frying pan into the fire" or "goodbye stability; hello League 1 and downwards thereafter."

[AJW]

Could it be that the next manager is not Lambert and as LET alluded to we're looking at someone currently employed by another club .... we have agreed the deal with the man and we're still negotiating with the club

3 wins in 17 is not what I would call the definition of stability...

Okay, I've put 25p on Judan Ali, just in case. Knowing those loons in Pune, I maybe should risk a couple more squid?

Flash?

Brittas?

[Dan]

Maybe we get Tugay

Imagine we did and he relegated us to League One and on the brim of League Two/bankruptcy, could we bring ourselves to boo or call his name in anger?

I love Tugay, but his legendary status shouldn't be messed with. Would love him as a coach, even better with the kids. Who couldn't benefit from learning from Toogs?

Actually if he were manager, would maybe do his warm up skills with the team?

[Neal]

Be p*ssed off if it was Tugay... Would be an absolute disaster.

[DE.]

Tugay would be Berg all over again. No problem with him coming back to the club as a coach, but the last thing we need is to take a chance on another manager who has no experience.

We all know the type of manager we need right now. Do Venky's?

[OJRovers]

Maybe we've caught up with everyone else in the league and found a way round FFP. Wouldn't be a shock, most other clubs are taking the mick with it now anyway.

[DavidMailsTightPerm]

I wonder how long they have been pondering this - I found it interesting that we still have loan places in our squad but never used them.

[roverandout]

The longer it goes on, the more convinced I am its going to be a dud along the lines of a Gary megson or a mcdermott

[T J Hooker]

could this be whats holding Lambert/Irvine from signing contracts- http://www.dailymail.co.uk/sport/football/article-3157723/Alan-Irvine-remain-without-club-New-Year-West-Brom-turn-request-renegotiate-gardening-leave.html maybe they need to negotiate with westbrom before irvine can join us

[AllRoverAsia]

I was looking at our squad on the Rovers site yesterday and also noticed that. That squad is so thin it's scary with youngsters who are previous manager never intended to play plus 'ones for the future' ................. ................whatever that means.

[G Somerset Rover]

@Smudge1962: It appears Paul Lambert is in demand leading to a delay in his expected appointment at #brfc

That's from a journo called Paul Smith. What's Nixon saying? He blocked me yonks ago.

[Mr. E]

I am so sad Souness is not in the running.

[davulsukur]

Can't let Lambert go to a rival. Do we have the people in charge to pull a deal off?

Nope,is the answer.

[Amo]

Yesterday's man. He's been out of the dugout a long time and lost the plot by the end.

Who are hitc sport? Never heard of them.

[Norbert Rassragr]

I bet Shelfie has broken the fax machine again!

Hopefully we have a good backup option..........just in case.

[TBTF]

Nixon says Shaw isnt involved in the Lambert deal.

Hopefully we can seal the deal for Lambert as manager

What was the general view on the radio show, Chaddy? Apart from Nixon did Ian battersby have anything to say .I normally think he sums up the state of the club pretty well when I have heard him before

[Tom]

Add me to the list of people who is getting concerned every minute that passes.

Expecting the 'Lambert turns down rovers' story any moment

Let's hope we pull something out of the hat.

[chaddyrovers]

Ian kept mentioning a plan might/hoping be in place if Lambert is coming in as manager. Plus Shaw not involved from Nixon.

Both sounded positive about Rovers future

[Gav]

Far to much willy waving on here, have you lot learnt nothing over the past 5yrs?

Pray to God we don't get a mercer exclusive (Sorry pal but you couldn't predict night n day)
