Which of the names you mentioned have a proven background in that area?

Carlos Carvalhal has brough through 17 young players into his Braga during his 2 seasons that. @unleaded posted on this with more info.

Phillip Cocu at Derby brought through Max Bird, Jason Knight, Lee Buchanan and Louis Sibley into the first team and now most of key players at Derby under Wayne Rooney there

Duncan Ferguson worked at Everton Academy before bring appointing on to the first team staff there

Michael Beale has years at Liverpool academy and has been Steven Gerrard's coaching staff at Liverpool under 18's, Rangers and now Aston Villa. 

Liam Manning has experience of working at Ipswich, West Ham and New York City youth teams before he got a job at Lommel in the second division in Belgium then he was appointment MK Dons head coach after Russell Martin left there

[Paul Mani]

I’d be happy to give Carvalhal, Farke, Beale, Ferguson, Carrick, Manning or Critchley a chance following a proper recruitment  process….I’m not keen on regurgitation of the Hughton’s of this world but, nevertheless, my ticket is renewed.

The number of people on here who swore they’d never step foot in Ewood if Mowbray stayed and are now making the same threats with various potential managers is embarrassing.

Sharpe has suggested the 'deadline' to appoint the new manager is before the players return for preseason in mid-June. I'd be surprised if we completed the appointment this coming week, but rather the following week. That still gives the new manager the maximum time available with the players before the new season starts.

Provided Friedel the Sporting Director is appointed shortly thereafter, that still gives ~2.5 months of the transfer window to utilise.

I think it'll be close to two weeks before we know who the new man is.

 

The players returned I believe around 13th June so that's 2 weeks to make the head coach appointment and allow him to bring in staff, sort out pre season training, a couple more pre season fixtures, etc. That why I think we will make an appointment this week of the head coach 

We need the appointment of the sporting director to be made shortly after the head coach appointment.

I will challenge @Bbrovers2288  @unleaded  @glen9mullan or @alderson777or anyone else you want to name on this MB to say with 100% certainty Ferguson HAS NOT been interviewed.

Ferguson wouldn't necessarily be my choice but my information is he has been interviewed, is a favoured candidate and has real heavyweight backing from a number of people and one in particular.

@Bbrovers2288has said Ferguson has been interviewed

You did the exact same with Coyle, so I don't think it's for you to say who is embarrassing or not.

There are that many vacancies, they will probably have the 8 candidates draw straws over who gets which job. Big Dunc DOF, Carlos handling the property portfolio, Cocu as Chief Scout and Michael Carrick as head coach.

Eh? I just stopped going. I didn’t go back and forth like a petulant child threatening not to go. None of you even knew until I told you years later. It’s really embarrassing. You probably don’t go to the match either…seem the sort 👍🏼

Post of the year bar NONE 😂😂😂

You’re a super contributor on here, Chaddy and your insatiable social media quest for the merest hint at who our next manager might be is commendable, but you can’t be serious with that comment.  You’ve been justifiably slaughtering Mercer on here, mocking his outlandish predictions for months ….  But now that his latest stab in the dark suits your own narrative you portray him as a genuine source. 
 

If Ferguson is appointed it will be a case of throw enough shit, some sticks - you know better than to try to shoehorn a narrative using his ramblings.  Using Nixon as a source is very borderline, using Mercer is just absurd.

It is titbits. Tidbits is an Americanism because they think the syllable 'tit' is intrinsically rude.

Strange that. Made pretty clear at meetings I've had that Pasha is the conduit through which Venkys' approval is granted. If Pasha doesn't like an idea, it doesn't happen.

If Pasha has capacity to overrule the CEO, I'd suggest very much DOES make the big decisions.
