You never know. Ferguson's name keeps popping up on the rumour mill. Manning would be very interesting but has been very much on QPR's radar seeming.

Any other decent League 1  managers apart from him and Ainsworth?

Rooney.

4 interviewed on Monday, my understanding that ainsworth wasn’t one of them, but another league 1 manager was, one out of work champ manager and one looking move into management from years of a coaching role 

That sounds a bit of a grim list 🤦🏻‍♂️

I would be happy enough with him, my number one would be farke but I believe he turned down his interview and will be working closer to home in his next role 

I'm a bit ambivalent on Carvalhal but at least it wouldn't be Mowbray.

Disappointing news if true re Farke but realistically only what you'd expect.

I feel this was always going to be the case with carvahal, his stock his high so if he doesn’t get us promoted his stock will sink so he would need reassurances in terms of finance backing.

Well this is depressing, the top 2 candidates (as far as most of the fans are concerned) are both unlikely to come here. 

Champ manager: Cocu? 

League one: no idea, Manning apparently staying at MK Dons and it would require compensation, which Venkys don't do. Jimmy Floyd?

A coach: Ferguson? Just another cheap disaster waiting to happen.

 

[JHRover]

If that's all true then we'd better hope Carvalhal takes it.

If Farke's not a goer and the other 3 options include a League One manager, coach (Johnson or Ferguson presumably) and an unemployed Championship manager then Carvalhal is a no brainer.

Shout.

And if Farke and Carvalhal are a no go, I'd be alright with Rooney having a crack at it here.

Mercer did mention JFH right at the outset saying he was being pushed. Would be a strange choice, wonder who he's represented by?

[RoversClitheroe]

If Rooney is an option and Farke has turned us down I'd bite your hand off, think with Derby granted they got relegated did a fantastic job.

Warne? Cowley? Duff?

That would seem a strange thing for Farke to do. To get the offer of an interview, he would have had to apply for the job in the first place. Why would you do that, if you were going to turn down the interview ?

It doesn’t work like normal jobs - in most cases there are expressions of interest from agents (ie my client would like to be considered) and then there’s invitations to interview (ie would your client be interested in interviewing for the role of manager of Blackburn Rovers). It’s not uncommon for someone to reject an interview. 

[Songman]

Ferguson for me wouldn't be a disaster. Everything Mowbray isn't character wise.

If true out of 50 applicants the nerds at Ewood shortlisted those 4, god help us.

I'm currently working away, but you have good record, so no reason to doubt what you say.

My only reservation would be if Waggott is going which is strongly doing the rounds today, its strange he'd be in a position to offer the role?

I'd also be dubious Farke turned down an interview after previously indicating to venkys advisors he'd be open to the discussion.

Either way this news is most disappointing, roll on my holidays next week

Just a motivator as far as I can see. I’m not sure that works with modern players.

It would be a dreadful appointment.

Cocu's name was also banded around a bit at the start, Waggot was pushing i thought I remember reading.

Either would be terrible.

I still cannot understand why the agent would say, that their client would like to be considered for the job. Then say that they don't want to be interviewed.

Does he have a good record? I can't recall him ever breaking any news that hasn't already been reported on that has come true. 

Please correct me if I'm wrong👀

It's too short term. Like Sherwood, goes nuts on the sidelines, brings results in the short term but fades quick and they don't have the managerial nous to turn it round.

Record speaks for itself , broke a good few stories, unlike you assombalonga - which I gave you the benefit of the doubt for

My understanding was the links were all agent work as job pointed out

I've seen quite a few tbf, and one of the posters i do stand up and take notice when he post something

[roversfan99]

I dont think that anybody has a good record on here in regards to insider knowledge to be fair.

Yeah, I reckon the same. I know you can’t read too much into betting patterns, but Ferguson’s name has been bubbling around for a good while.

I reckon there will be one or two real horror names in there.

Prepare to be underwhelmed.

I am still confused, but I defer to your greater experience and accept your explanation. I am looking forward to next season who-ever is in charge.
