[Archived] Next Manager

[West Yorks Rover]

I suppose one thing could be in our favour, (if it is pointed out to any half decent candidate who needs a steady job) Bowyer lasted 2 and a half years,

Lambert walked of his own accord and OC got far longer than he would have done at most of our rivals in this league, given his shockingly bad record.

Bowyer 2 and a half year and we have had 7 managers since the @#/? rolled up

Not like you to make anything up so I'm intrigued. Good source?

Alan Pardew

Decent. Does a lot of work for the club. 

[perthblue02]

With the bonus FA cup money burning a hole in a pocket expect somebody between 15/1 and 33/1

Guess we'll find out soon enough.

A Rochdale supporting pal of mine was at a " Meet The Manager " style event earlier on this season. Keith Hill was asked directly what club he'd be prepared to leave Rochdale for. He said " Blackburn Rovers ".

Jerome Anderson?

[Tyrone Shoelaces]

Just said on Radio Lancashire that Johnno and Dunny will be in charge on Friday.

[brinscall]

an acquaintance of mine said robbie keane is being touted by an appointed agent to the high ups at rover as player manager. there's positives and negatives there, class act striker, noobie manager with no experience.

That would make sense in a WMG kind of way, Brown as assistant ?

[Roverall]

Senior was in Pizza Hut earlier apparently with a pale, ginger-haired man answering to the name of Gary.

The frightening thing is this story came from three sources, and none of them has previous for wind-ups.

Sky Sports News just now reckon Adkins main frontrunner and Rowett not interested

[Tyrone Shoelaces]

Rowett will get a better job before long.

[Mr. E]

It's probably been said, but yeah - coming in as manager here and now is like becoming a captain on the Titanic as its toppling over.

They are probably reading this board.

[Fraserkirky]

Alan Stubbs?

[USABlue]

Rowett's comments from the Birmingham Mail

 

"Earlier this month, Rowett said: "when you look at a club, you say 'firstly, is there a structure there and are there the tools there for you to go there and do your job properly as a manager?'"

 

Pretty much rules us out.

Wasn't Adkins on the list when Coyle was hired?  I'd be ok with that.

[Dunnfc]

Adkins no where near good enough to be linked to a club like Blackburn. Nice bloke but failed in his last two including league one where we are heading.

Not welcome

He was 25/1 at 4pm now Favourite for the job

They said that they are hoping to speak to Paul Senior tonight to see who will take training tomorrow and who in charge for Burton. Will it Johnson and Dunn?

[koi]

How can you even begin to guess who they will go for?

Not my first choice but I don't think we could complain too much at Adkins.

Who would you deem suitable  to be linked to "a Club like Blackburn."?

[G Somerset Rover]

At least Adkins comes across as a nice kinda guy. It'd be refreshing listening to somebody post match who didn't make you want to put your fist through the tv/radio.
