Yup 😫

[Sparks Rover]

Personally my opinion is Carlos Carvahal would be a great appointment for the club at this time.  A very charismatic person and has had some good sides at this level.  His team in Portugal have been punching well above their weight and for me he's the best of the bunch.  Bang him the Diaz coin plus 10m and let's have it👊👊⚽️

Grayson and I'd be physically 🤮

[roversfan99]

One thing we can be sure of is that whether we get Carvalhal or not, there is 0% chance of us having the full Brereton proceeds plus £10m! I can't see any chance of us having £10m OF the Brereton money or even close, never mind on top of.

This is as big a signal as any as to how Venkys have run us over the last 12 years, but if Burnley and us were interested, there is only one place where he would end up and it isnt here.

Big if at the moment, no indication that we have got close to an interview stage so any talk of favourites is surely premature.

Talk in the LT today of Lenihan and Nyambe's futures being dependant on the manager. So there could be big collateral damage from any typical Venkys delays.

One thing I will say, if Burnley get relegated they are in big big trouble, wouldn't be surprised if they went into admin.

Many clubs have been predicted to go into admin following relegation and only the smallest of minorities do.

I appreciate that they have issues surrounding loan conditions but I am sure that they wont go into admin. They also have a series of assets that they would likely sell on and raise a significant amount, selling Pope, McNeil, Cornet, Taylor, Weghorst etc would raise quite a lot.

I don't see them going down anyway, Leeds will.

Wow, I think playing our current players to their strengths, using a formula that works based on that.  We could be very very good.  One or two tweaks.  Yeah be good

As much as all of us enjoy the idea, Leeds are dire, and have lost two starters due to red cards. Everton appears safe. Burnley may be tied in pts with Leeds, but they have a big goal diff.

So Leeds need one more point than Burnley get, not impossible. Spurs have a lot to play for, Villa will want to win their last home game. The only game I see Burnley getting point/ points,. is Newcastle. I can see Leeds picking up point/points in both their games.

So you dont see Leeds getting draws against Brighton and Brentford, I do. It's a game of opinions and everyone is entitled to theirs.

Blackburn rovers are a much bigger club than Burnley.  Eff the dingles

You’re crazy if you think Leeds are getting another point this season. There squad has been absolutely decimated by injuries and suspensions.

another something for us to mull over, lets narrow our contenders down to who has worked or will work within this model - hope it scares off some of the jokers we've been linked with, ie. Ferguson. Keane, Grayson, Woodhate, Carrick, Appleton etc...

 

 

 

 

[oldjamfan1]

Step forward Stuart Webber and Daniel Farke.

[RoversClitheroe]

The sporting director model points more and more to Farke... @glen9mullanhave you heard any or other whispers around the appointment?

[roversfan99]

Having a Sporting Director or similar may be more likely to attract a total novice like Carrick or Ferguson in that their role will have less responsibilities, although we all hope for a Farke or a Carvalhal.

I do fear that not only will this lengthen the gap before any appointment but it also creates a second key position which with Venkys track record may well lead to a poor appointment.

You look at previous appointments under Venkys in a similar position, the last one was Senior who was here for a very short period, we signed a player from his agency and he slid off without trace as soon as we went down. It may increase the influence of agents etc.

[roversfan99]

"Interest in the job has been strong, with applications from managers all over the world, though no shortlist has yet been drawn up as Rovers take an open mind to their search."

Worth highlighting ahead of people coming to premature conclusions regarding whispers and betting odds. Miles away from an appointment.

[tomphil]

An 'open mind' was phrased before the Coyle and Mowbray appointments !

Dangerous wording because knowing for months TM was off they should know exactly who or at least what they want to replace him with.

[MarkBRFC]

It will be weeks before there will be an appointment, i'm going for third week in June.

[Tugayisgod]

Also it dispels the claims from some people that nobody in their right mind would want the job. 
This is a GREAT job for somebody, just need to get the appointment right and the Premier League may not be too far away again

That's just standard recruitment speak to be fair.

[pomster]

Spot on, all this should of been sorted weeks ago knowing Mowbray was not being offered new terms.

If this was an average run of the mill business the lights would already of be turned off

Probably. But if the right (wrong for us) agent gets in their ear then they funnily enough move very swiftly, with it all done behind the curtains too.
