I can see your point here. I would favour an experience head coach coming in. Farke, Carvalhal and Wagner being 3 candidates we should be looking at for that role. 

Plus an experience DoF like Stuart Webber or Nicky Hammond would be ideal. 

Maybe informal interviews have taken already who knows with their agents to find out what demands and terms are already with certain candidates 

Well I do have plenty of hope on 2 good appointments being made

Venkys history of appointments has been horrific, so why would you expect them to get two right at the same time?

@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

Another reason of many that you never see a skint bookie.

Whilst that’s obviously true, these specific markets are run as (very small) loss leaders. They don’t make any profit on manager or transfer specials. Hence why they’re so aggressive at changes prices. There is always someone out there who will know before the bookmaker knows and it’s just how quick they can react.

However, they do get customers in the door, get people talking about their odds and get social media exposure of their brand/odds though, so it’s essentially used as an acquisition / retention / marketing tool, something to set them apart from competitor bookies

We've no idea what is in store or whether the club are even actively looking for a replacement yet.

I just hope we get someone who wants to win and get us promoted.

If an external appointment is coming then Adkins and Grayson would be two likely options IMO. 

Both available, cheap, desperate to manage again and would jump for the Rovers job. 

Would accept whatever boundaries this lot wanted to impose.

I think the Sporting Director thing is a red herring. They might want to appoint one but won't do that any time soon (unless it is an internal reshuffle) and it will just be left to drag on for months.

Ideally we will go for a manager of the calibre that you mention, but as I said I don't have faith that we will, we just have to look back over 12 years to see why.

Wow, one of 11 teams to 'win' a Mickey mouse trophy that was really only a UEFA cup qualifier, and the actual winners of it were Hamburg.

C'mon, we're not Newcastle fans, we don't need to try and count that.

Have any of these three got promotion on their CV.With the talented youngsters we have got at Ewood, we could do with the next manager getting us promotion in the next few years before they move on.

Waco, you would have loved it pre Venky's. That period from the early 90's to around 2008 was golden. Absolutely golden. So many proud moments with the Rovers taking it to the big guns and beating them. There were many proud moments in general, not just in beating the big heads. The fight, the heart and the winning spirit was taken away the minute Venky's walked through the door, never to return.

Fair play to you for choosing Rovers when the club was in a bad way and for sticking by your choice. Hopefully, one day the true Rovers will be back. It won't be under these owners though, as we're all hoping they fluke their way to the right appointment and promotion. Nobody has any belief or trust in them to get it right. 12 years is a long time to sort things out and they still haven't managed it. We will be back one day though, I believe that, but when they are far removed from the club.

Expand  

Is it safe to say most Rovers fans hope we luck our way to PL, Venky’s sells the club, after getting that promotion money to recoup their losses, and some fan in the mold of Jack Walker buys the club? 

I grew up in Dallas, hence, fan of Dallas Cowboys & Tom Landry. I am nearly as old as the Cowboys (expansion team in 1960, therefore, I am two years younger). Then along came Jones in 1989. Three Super Bowl wins, but none since 1995, and not a whiff of success since Jimmy Johnson left.

Irony is, Cowboys & Rovers both hit Paydirt for the last time in 1995. so, if we’re hoping Rovers get lucky & promote, I’m not very hopeful of that coming to fruition.

Whoever takes over, he's some talented youngsters at his disposal. With a few signings of his own, we should be pushing for a top 6 finish again.

Alan Shearer. He knows the club and what the fans want.

Isn’t it true, that despite the fact Shearer’s only time to hoist a PL trophy was for Rovers, he’s at heart a Newcastle fan? Besides, Jack Walker, John Williams, & the rest he knew at Blackburn Rovers are gone now.

As a kid when i first started going to watch Rovers they hadn't been in the top division for going on 20 years.

It was just a pipe dream just getting in there and regular crowds of over 10 thousand were a myth to me as well.  I never thought i'd see either and to be honest then it didn't really bother me.  I just loved Rovers being what they were, small town team with tradition, rich history, skint owners and a great kit.

That's why it's hard to take now for the likes of me because missed opportunities and just seemingly existing to carry people and keep them in jobs isn't befitting of a club like this. 

You're a long time dead so the saying goes and the longer you aren't trying to get into top flight again the less your realistic chances become.

I just wish this ownership would wake up to this but their next appointment will tell us, have they given up ?

Where they even that bothered in the first place.

Its been over 5 years since their last appointment so hopefully in those years they have learnt and better understand football and how it works.

That's kinda the point Chaddy, people see whispers on social media and odds reflect it. I know someone who mentioned Simon Grayson as a piss take the other night, following morning he was favourite 🤣

Another reason of many that you never see a skint bookie.

each to they own, but I remember seeing Coyle odds on favourite for few days and I dismiss it then. I have placed several bets on different possible replacement.

Glen, Are you still positive and confident that Farke will be incoming?

You thought that Mowbray was staying despite him saying he was off. 

The Sporting Director role is needed and many clubs even at Championship clubs are now employing them

Its over 5 years since we actually seen a footballing appointment to the club. Lets hope they have learnt about how football works. 

Would you been happy with Daniel Farke or Carlos Carvalhal as our next head coach?
