Which utterly brilliant manager will we be delighted to welcome next?

If the club know he's going - which they seemingly do - then they should definitely have a shortlist in place.

You see how quickly clubs replace their managers after sacking them. It must be commonplace for clubs to speak to potential replacements while the soon to be departing manager is still employed.

Wasn't Dalglish still employed by Liverpool when we first approached him? 

100% not. He resigned in February 1991 and Souness took over as manager there in April of the same year.

It has been said that gambling is a mugs game and that there is only ever one winner...the bookies.

It would never be more true if Tony gets on the plane to India coming back with a nice new contract.

I don't really see much about this season that the owners won't have been happy with, given pre season expectations.

[Darwen Rover 007]

Can see this forum going into utterly meltdown if Farkhe ends up being announced after Warbrutons final game at QPR.. like many im hoping for him at ours! 

[jim mk2]

There is one outstanding candidate who’s been barely mentioned - Sean Dyche

There is also no reason why he should not be approached and at least asked the question. He can always say no

Either way he’s the best man who is available and out of a job, including Farke. And as a bonus it would annoy Burnley fans intensely 

What not to like?

Heaven forbid.

I've been of the view all season he'd be leaving at the end of his contract but given the circumstances of Mowbray's comments before the Bournemouth game, the longer we have radio silence from the Club  the more worried I am that the first utterance from them on the subject will be Waggott saying it's all been a bit of a misunderstanding and they're still hopeful of persuading Tony to extend his stay.

The champagne I put on ice in anticipation of official word on his departure is going rather warm.

I did hear positive whispers on that front immediately after he left Burnley but nothing since.

Completely agree though we shouldn't really be looking beyond Farke or Dyche if the owners are really serious about changing things.

I'd heard stories of Dalglish being involved in meetings with Jack Walker at Bill Fox's house before he even left Liverpool. How true that is, I don't know.

The wage for starters. Was he not on near 100k a week at the dingles? Outstanding candidate yes, but an unrealistic I’m afraid.

100% not true. If you remember, his leaving Liverpool came as a bolt out of the blue - Kenny didn't even speak to Peter Robinson (LFC Chairman) to tell him he was resigning until just a few hours before it was announced. I would be astonished (and in some ways disappointed in him) if he had spoken to Rovers before then. It wouldn't make sense anyway, Liverpool were top dogs in England at that point. Kenny didn't leave them for football reasons, which has been well documented. 

I think Liverpool were surprised (and a little aggrieved) that he returned to another job relatively quickly - they offered him a break or a sabbatical when he tendered his resignation.

No it is not.

It needs a bit of imagination.

We aren't going to pay him £5million a year, however, we could pay him a big salary by our standards and link promotion into a huge bonus or share equity issue or both.

You can't say it's not true with 100% certainty. I can't say it is true either - just a story someone told me. The meeting would have been kept hush hush anyway.

Chaddy, we haven't even announced the departure of Mowbray yet, this idea of a 6 man shortlist is beyond premature,

Mowbray has told you he is leaving. end of. Rovers need to coming up with a shortlist and conduction interviews with them and pick the best candidate from that. Its not premature at all, its getting on with the job and appointing the next manager as soon as possible and within the next 2 or 3 weeks. We have coaching and medical appointments to make, signings to be made plus to formalise a pre season plans and get ready for the 29th July for the first game of the season

another dingle in the Rovers manager seat really? no thanks. We have Coyle in the Rovers managerial chair and we don't want another Dingle in the Rovers managerial seat or dugout. 

We want the dingles to be relegate this season do we?

How much do we really know about Dyche leaving burnley. I am not saying this as an endorsement or hiring him would be a bad thing, but they’ve done ok without Dyche, as they will probably be safely in PL yet another season.

Once again, you seem to have a real problem separating what you want to happen with reality.

That Dingle comment makes you look very small minded. Dyche is streets ahead of the vast majority of managers on yours or anyone else’s lists.

No Duncan, I don't want an ex managers from our closer rivals coming to Rovers as our next manager. That is the truth and within all honest I'm surprised that you are for appointing him here and so many other Rovers fans are. 

I want Daniel Farke as our manager who is reported to be interested in the Rovers manager job. would be the perfect fit for our club give his success and the job he did at Norwich. 

 

[TonyM]

Watford fans I know all seem to believe  that Dyche has agreed to return there once Hodgson goes at the end of the season....

No have 3 good sources of info including Glen Mullan posts on here about Farke and Nixon have said Farke is interested in the job here. Plus he has reported our interest in Ainsworth and another well respect journalist has reported Phillip Cocu.  

if you don't want to believe them fine but the info is out there

I'm not looking for a kind response. Couldn't give a toss either way to be honest. I just struggle to understand how anyone can hold Mowbray to account with what he has been working with. Not saying the tailspin in form was acceptable but personally I think there are logical reasons for it to some degree. 

The way I see it the club is at fault for most of our issues rather than TM. And now he's off we're left in their hands once again. In my opinion that's the elephant in the room. This is the litmus test. Have the club and the owners learned any lessons? I have my doubts. So maybe all TM ever did was paper over the cracks. But ignorance is bliss and I'm not looking forward to the next chapter because I suspect it'll be a shit show. 

He could have got a backup striker in January. He chose not to and was therefore ok with what he had.

A couple more goals at the right time or someone who could score a penalty would have got us in the playoffs.

Now that he seems to be on his way out he has become the club spokesman, announcing staff departures in advance and telling the club what sort of manager to appoint going forward. Just go.

As others have touched on, what we need to do and what Venkys will do are 2 different things. And I wouldnt get too obsessive over tabloid hacks making stories up about 6 man shortlists when we havent even announced Mowbrays departure.

Your comments about Dyche are very childish. He would never come but he would be an incredible appointment if we had any ambition. I presume that if Cornet, Tarkowski and Pope became available in the summer, you would be equally dismissive.

For clarity, do you know what Alan Nixon's job is / what he gets paid for ?
