@1864roverite here’s my thoughts following my interactions with those at the club. Despite some ill tempered run ins in the past, I find Steve Waggott is approachable and attentive. He asks the r

Not having a dig at you but i don't see why people get so precious about stuff like this.

It was a long time ago he's no record i know of now for smacking people and he wouldn't have lasted so long in the position he has if he was a thug.  He's not in the cold calculated league of Roy Keane who should have been banned from football for life after his premeditated assault on Haaland.

Nor is he serial scumbag Joey Barton hell the guy has leathered 2 burglars in his home on seperate occasions. He should get a bloody knighthood.

The snowflakery goes too far on here at times.

Having said that purely on a football level he wouldn't be my choice given the nature of what we've seen here before. However if he comes in i'd be 100% behind him.

We play the odd thug now and again. Rumour has it Rovers are interested in signing Unsworth.Ferguson will do me a thug against some of the oppositions thugs.

 The same could have been said of both Hughes and Souness. It is just as players, they were more subtle at it than Ferguson. !

Hughes and Souness are intelligent, thoughtful people which was one reason why they became successful managers

Ferguson on the other hand......

Steve Walsh would actually be a lot better than the complete dud that I would expect this lot to find for the role. I would be pleased with him coming in, if true.

He has an eye for a player and played a key role in recruitment at Leicester. It didn't go well for him at Everton, however he's on record as saying his suggestions to sign Andy Robertson, Maguire and Erling Haaland were turned down by the Everton board.

I'd have more faith in him being able to spot a player than the brfcs admirer who has just left.

It does, however, point towards the Everton boys possibly coming in and I'm not too pleased about that prospect.

Rooney used to write to Ferguson when he was in prison, still matey by all accounts.

Rooney as the manager and Ferguson as his assistant could be doable i suupose

They were also a couple of clever thugs. They never gave in, and always seamed to gain control of where-ever they played . A prime example is Hughes, out of position in the Carling cup final against Spurs. None of the Spurs players wanted to be anywhere near him.

I'd probably have Rooney here as manager tbf. His current assistant is Liam Rosenoir I think, no reason to change that for someone else.

Sucks about Farke, but as long as thats the standard of manger that they hold out for then there's still a little hope, but if after all this time they just roll out some desperate dross like Duncan Ferguson, woodgate etc... Then I won't be buying that season tkt that I was planning on getting this coming season

Expand  

Thing is, there isn't much left to hold out for anymore.

Probably about the best remaining candidates on the market for a club our size would be Dyche (not really realistic), Ainsworth and Manning. The latter two could be good appointments potentially (I don't know much about Manning, mind, just some on here seem to rate him), but they hardly set the pulses racing and are both under contract. We know how Venkys feel about paying compo. I think either they get over that, or we end up with a very disappointing appointment. Which do sometimes turn out surprisingly well but is far, far from ideal. Especially with the state of our squad and budget after the departures.

Edit - there's Rooney too I guess, I forgot about him, did a decent job with Derby in the circumstances and has the profile to attract players. It wouldn't be as devastating as if we appointed a no-mark like Ferguson, wouldn't be my ideal pick either though.

I'm still deluding myself (for the sake of staying away from misery). It'll be one of:

Favre, Villas-Boas, Dyche, Santo, Setien, Martinez, Fonseca, Valverde, Zidane.

How smart would you have to be to spot that Mahrez and Kante could play a bit ? It took me ten minutes of watching Mahrez.

Expand  

Yes fair point, maybe right place right time. He plucked them from the french 2nd division and Leicester sold them for a combined 63 million, which isn't too shabby. It's a good appointment IMO, which is rare where venky's are concerned. He's a good bloke too, knows his football. Hopefully he'll pull a few more rabbits out the hat for us.
