Moggadon he is not, a breath of fresh air.

Speaks excellent English and is very charismatic.  Love it 👋

I know this will get shot down, but I'm suprised Solskjaer hasn't had a mention

Dyche cannot take a job until his severance is agreed with Burnley and that scenario is not going to be easy to resolve with the money involved!

By that logic, Burnley wouldn't be able to appoint a replacement either.

I see Rafa has now entered the betting

When he was first mentioned I wasn't that impressed due to time he spent as manager of numerous club.  I'm thinking differently now. He knows his stuff, has his own team and talks with humor but with authority, the type players would want to impress.

You proved with a solitary bet on Wagner the other day how meaningless those odds are.

You'd have thought Benitez would have been spelt correctly, not sure I believe that screen grab to be honest.

Rafa was actually sounded out a while back for the job, but it never got past agent stages.

Seeing Tony Pulis’ name there gave me a few chills. The sort of fella that could come from those long odds to land it - especially given his agency.

Carvalhal did achieve two top 6 finish and playoff place in his first 2 season there as head coach. Whilst Mowbray had 4 years to get that and couldn't. He couldn't even achieved a top 6 finish even when we were 2nd on the 8th February. His stubborn and unwillingness to adapt and change his tactical approach cost us the last 3 months of the season and ultimately cost us our playoff place and promotion

Don't let Gav, reel you in. He's never once accused Mowbray (who never made the play offs here) of "failing", but levies that accusation against Carvalhal (who made the play offs twice).

Strange that.

I prefer:

"Going down the Bolton Rd -

To see Carvalho's aces!"

Still jumping the gun horrendously in either case mind!

Pretty sure he's retired although I take the general point.

The situations are totally incomparable. Carvalhal was at Sheffield Wednesday with far, far greater resources than Mowbray. 

And to clarify again, I am glad that Mowbray has gone and I would be reasonably happy with Carvalhal.

Lets face it, you'd never heard of Carvalhal until I mentioned him on here as a possible replacement for Mowbray.

His record isn't as good as Mowbrays, who took West Brom up as Champions, but I'd have Carlos here, I doubt your mates in Pune will pay the wages or transfer pot to make that happen, but time will tell.

Pulis is "retired" like Neil Warnock was multiple times.

If he was offered a big a job as Rovers it can nearly be guaranteed he would be coming out of his retirement

You've spelt it incorrectly. Venkys would never appoint Benitez anyway, but they'd definitely appoint some chancer called Rafa Bentiez 🤣
