[G Somerset Rover]

Blackburn havent got Paul Lambert in place yet!!

Lol - Nixon at his finest.

If the Telegraph story is correct in that Lambert is in Germany then surely Monday will be the day (if it is indeed going ahead!).

[47er]

When the 50M treasure chest turns up I'll believe him even though its would be 5 years late!

[chaddyrovers]

Looks like Rob Kelly will be number 3 to Lambert.

From Mark Hitch. Who is from the Rovers fans forum

Venkys have convinced Lambert, he will be confirmed by Monday with Alan Irvine as assistant & Rob Kelly returning as coach #rovers #brfc

Nixon has been all over this story from the beginning...starting a few weeks ago when he said that the venous where looking at other managers.Nixon has got things wrong,but he has got plenty right.He has been the biggest source of info throughout this manager search

Good to hear Lambert has had a No 1 and 2 - it's going to be a long weekend so best be prepared.

[yoda]

Is the poll in this thread representative ?

[AllRoverAsia]

Is the poll in this thread representative ?

NO - cos I haven't voted

[yoda]

NO - cos I haven't voted

Well some would say that was a protest vote

[chaddyrovers]

is he still at Leeds?

No he left Leeds when Rosler was sacked as head coach

[islander200]

The market has been taken down on skybet

[AllRoverAsia]

More of an apathy vote or rather a 'don't want to feckin jinx things up' vote

No he left Leeds when Rosler was sacked as head coach

Just read up on Kelly. Been around the block but obviously highly qualified/ experienced and a pal of Irvine.

Looks a goodun.

[Cherry Blue]

we need a press release from Rovers.

[J*B]

110% Lambert.

Stop worrying, I promise you.

[rigger]

If you go down Ewood way.

Any evening any day.

You'll find us all.

Doing the Lambert walk.

Oy.

[T J Hooker]

It is. I'm a WUM, didn't you know?

Anyway, FFP aside, Venkys could buy QPR and Fulham for cash. Let's just get the effing thing done. We're spoilt kids, and therefore deserve an effing good manager. Let's do this and put B*rnley back in their rightful place - well and truly below us. That's all that matters.

I did know that already

[Gav]

its depressing reading half of the stuff in this thread and seeing how cynical we've become.

Shut up your miserable git

(Just thought I'd return the compliment TJ) 😉

[yoda]

Bring back JIm

Hey this is a dream team with lots of extra benefits.

Alan Irvine knows the club,its history,the youth development set-up etc etc. Did he cross for Hendry's winner in Full Members Cup?

Rob Kelly actually set up the Youth development system(in the 90s) before he went with one of our Managers or support staff to Leicester and then was over-promoted to Manager. Still lives in Ribble Valley and a top guy to talk to.

And with 5000+ to welcome them at PNE it will seem that they HAVE joined a big Club.

Then at home the following week hopefully some of our 'disillusioned' fans will give the Rovers a chance(until at least January)

That's what I like - glass half full

[Mercer]

Lambert, Irvine and Kelly exceeds our expectations.

That is some line up compared with Bowyer, Short, Grant and McPhillips.

Irvine and Kelly both have recent experience and knowledge of Championship which has to be a bonus.

Not been as excited about Rovers since Big Sam went.

[Gav]

I really don't understand why the need for all this pessimism, optimism and speculation all at the same time. When Don Mackay was sacked it took Kenny Dalglish 40 days to confirm he would take the job. Even though we had Jack Walker and Bill Fox doing the negotiating. When Brian Kidd went it was142 days before Graham Souness arrived, although I admit we had Tony Parkes holding the fort.

Paul Lambert, or whoever, is entitled to make sure he is satisfied with the contract on offer

People don't trust the owners, that's the reason for the pessimism renrag, completely understandable after what's taken place over the past 5yrs.

No ... it was Ian 'Windy' Miller.
