Damn you Chaddy!!

[Salgado Is Still A Hero]

Until he's officially announced I'm not getting my hopes up.

Haha, if that was all it took I would have posted that days ago.

[Pugg]

Welcome Mr Lambert 😊

[chaddyrovers]

Laurance Batty as Gk Coach

[Amo]

[JHRover]

Worked with Lambert at Colchester and Norwich.

Great av

[Mike E]

Chaddy how do you beat everyone with links?! You have a gift, my friend.

[Ricky]

But but but... We can't get an experienced manager as we're a basket case club and nobody would want to manage us.... I don't understand??

[joey_big_nose]

Well amazing work. Literally can't believe it. Not only is Lambert a proven quality manager, surely it also means we are out of embargo in Jan and able to sign players.

After five years the first time Venkys have made a sound footballing (or any sort of) decision.

PAUL LAMBERT'S BLUE AND WHITE ARMY!!!

[chaddyrovers]

So Lambert Coaching staff will be

Irvine as assistant manager

Rob Kelly as first team coach

Batty as Gk coach.

Looking like Chris Neville is staying as head of Fitness

[Mark Atkins' Bald Patch]

Get in!! Relief, joy, hope, disbelief almost.

Over the moon to have a manager worthy of the name at the helm again.

[chaddyrovers]

Lambert being appointed as Rovers manager is a great move by the club and Owners.

Looking forward to Preston away game now and his first home game.

Absolutely buzzing!!!

[Hasta]

No mention of or from Degsy in that official announcement.

No mention of or from Degsy in that official announcement.

Good. Hopefully the next announcement is "Derek Shaw relieved of duties as MD".

[eire3382]

Welcome Paul, be your own man and don't let the chicken fools run the show

[bluebruce]

Good. Hopefully the next announcement is "Derek Shaw relieved of duties as MD".

If that happens, every single Rovers fan should go buy a lottery ticket, as our luck is in!

[AllRoverAsia]

Great news

Tony Gale moaning about Bowyer's sacking on SSN. Give it a f***ing rest.

He is saying it's a good appointment though...

[Ricky]

Tony Gale on the phone on Sky Sports and spent the first part of the call having a go at us for sacking Bowyer and not even mentioned Lambert! He's really not keen on us is he.

[LewisF]

GET IN!!!!

Played 15 games for us yonks ago and acts like he knows the club inside out - give it a rest Tony! How many times has he been to Ewood this season?

Oh well, ignore that rubbish, we've come to expect the media talking rubbish about us.

They make out Bowyer got axed too soon. '5 managers in 5 years bla bla', failing to mention how long Bowyer has been given. Shame they haven't made a point on how much an improvement in quality Lambert and his staff bring to the table.

Hope they get someone on soon who will say it as it is... This is SSN however, so I'm expecting the opposite!
