Understand two former academy directors at the club, Alan Irvine and Rob Kelly, will form part of Paul Lambert's #rovers coaching team.

Surely has to be Lambert now.

The Sun suggesting he hasn't spoken to Fulham at all. Spoke to QPR but has apparently chosen us over them, which suggests to me that we must be very confident of getting out of the embargo in January.

Lambert AND Irvine (sounds like a new cigarette brand) would be stupid awesome.

Didn't take long for Betfair to close their market, too.

If I was John Filan I would never trust you again with "inside" information

How did I know someone would say that! I didn't claim for it to be 'inside' - it's not exactly a story of which would cause controversy it's a great day for the club IMO. Its like yourself breaking some news that the company you work for has reached record sales before they've posted it themselves, nobody would begrudge or be annoyed at you for such a thing.

[roverandout]

Great to finally have a proper manager and some proper backroom staff with links to other clubs, rather than jobs for boys brigade like Craig short and co

[adsfortheblues]

Did he give any indication to how any of the players and remaining staff would feel about Lambert&Irvine taking over?

No idea about that really pal.

LT breaking the news again I see.

[roverandout]

Is john filan on the current coaching staff?

[adsfortheblues]

It would

It's still wrong to quote his/her source

Not really pal, as I don't make money from such stories. And it's something which is pretty much common knowledge at the club and they've not been informed to keep it to themselves.

[donnermeat]

U21 assistant I think. (Filan)

[G Somerset Rover]

Absolutely. Hoping with Irvine on board that we may see some faith shown, at last, in our youngsters too.

[MGAndy]

Unbelievable euphoria based purely on a story from the sun...

The only fact is Lambert is enjoying his weekend in Germany.

Owen Coyle to be announced Monday

:-)

[roverandout]

Where did you get your info he was enjoying a break in Germany?? Ah yes a newspaper/media

[jodrell]

John Filan comes on here and knows who we all are behind our usernames?

But he was wrong to name who told him.If I tell someone something and keep it to yourself and i find out they have told someone else i wont tell them again.All he he had to do is say i have heard a rummer.

[DE.]

Do we know that Filan told him to keep it to himself?

[martonrover]

Looks like Lambert will take training starting on Monday. Says he has been impress with our Training facilities

Plus hes been watching Bayer Leverkusen trained.

Wish we had those outdoor heaters for supporters like Leverkusen :-)

[adsfortheblues]

Do we know that Filan told him to keep it to himself?

Thank you. That's spot on. If someone did say that I wouldn't even post it, never mind a post maybe saying "I was told by a coach". There's no secrecy behind this story, 90% of the media are aware of it. Also let's be honest of I had of put "someone told me" I would received a backlash with what a load of trash etc, that I wouldn't even bother posting if I couldn't quote the person who informed. Source was probably the wrong word to use to be fair.

The guys a proper manager Chaddy, great appointment I they make it happen, cheers for keeping us updated.

[Blue Cabbage]

Well I'll keep my opinion short...

I'm really giddy about this, bloody overdue we are. You know the feeling at the start of the season when you're about 12 and you think; 'This is gonna be immense' well I feel like that.

Cheers Gaz, but step aside, time for someone to show you how its done

[sambo]

Bring on the Lambert era

[Waggy76]

I wonder who , convinced the Venkys to appoint a proper manager and backroom staff ?.They have for 5 years chosen the cheap option....

Anyway onwards and upwards , it will not be an overnight job , far from it , 4 joke managers and a idiotic CEO...But a ray of hope and I for one will end my self imposed exile in the new year ....

[Tyrone Shoelaces]

Yeah, I said I wouldn't return whilst the Chicken Chokers were still running the show but if these appointments come off I'll be back after my holiday.

Listen pal, we all seem to be on-board with the appointment of Lambert. So we need something to bloody bicker about. Just do the decent thing, accept you're the fall guy and take your bleeding medicine.
