It’s Andy Bayes that.

I don’t dislike his commentary or his general opinions, but he is 100% a preston fan…! When he commentates on our games, you can hear the frustration when we score 😂 

If you had to carry the burden of being a Preston fan you'd be frustrated too.

Especially when they have to play the most successful town team in the world, twice next season.

From the numerous ones iv'e known down the years it's a very heavy burden that Rovers chip the size of Ewood on their shoulders.

Only hate Blackpool though.....

he`s to smart to take the leicester job,they`re going to lose 8/9 players if they go down,it`s a massive rebuilding job there,with huge hole in their finances where the parachute payment will go to,the family who own the club ar`nt to healthy finance wise,they have recently scaled back on their horse racing commitments and wrote of a lot of leicester debt off

Surprised it wasn't earlier posted on here. I believe Russell Martin is the other one being touted and was reported last week.

I'm not sure he would, huge rebuilding there. 

I would think Feyenoord from Holland is a bigger threat in taking him if their lose their head coach

It was ever thus, but they don't have owners like ours, there will be money to spend.

king power are moving in a different direction,after the helicopter crash the son took over,he ain`t to keen on football or horse racing,hence the scaling back on both of them

I'd say JDTs agents are very busy at the min.

Can't see why all of a sudden all these potentially relegated Prem clubs are looking at a manager with no promotions on his cv.  One who at the end of the day missed out on the play offs after being firmly in the driving seat a month or so earlier.

down to GB and Rovers to get him to sign a new long term contract and back in the transfer market 

[Proudtobeblue&white]

At the end of the day, time will tell.

[roversfan99]

If it was either Leicester or Rovers, he would definitely move. A Prem club for so long, better players, more money both to spend and for himself. Lets not kid ourselves. That being said, not sure he has done enough yet to get that job.

[Proudtobeblue&white]

If I was him, and wasn't backed with a treasure chest, why would you stay?

Imagine being in the Playoff picture all season with Dolan, Hedges, Gallagher, Vale, Leonard, Thomas, Dack and Brereton-Diaz as your only attacking options and being criticised for 'failing'. 🤣

[Upside Down]

Why wouldn't he go to Leicester given the opportunity? 

They are going to be receiving 100m in parachute payments.

I don't think he needs a long term contract. He has a deal for the next two years and ultimately unless we get promoted I don't see much point in that running any longer.

He is unlikely to want to sit around here for 4-5 years going nowhere like Mowbray was willing to do. He wants to be successful as a manager and the only way of doing that here is to get promoted. We had a chance in his debut season and the owners/underlings undermined it by refusing/failing to back him in January.

If we manage to keep hold of him this summer then next season I suspect is last chance saloon. He'll either get us up in which case happy days or we fail in which case I think he will look to pastures new.

[JHRover]

Leicester will want promotion next season and will do whatever they can do do that. 

Rovers I'm not sure do want promotion and if they do they've a funny way of showing it. 

That's really all there is to it for an ambitious manager. Where will their ambitions be best met?

Because he has a trusting relationship with Swag and Broughton?

When you put it like that...

[wilsdenrover]

I don’t think we’ve been in the position under Venkys where other clubs (allegedly) want our manager.

Knowing them, they’d stick him on gardening leave for two years.
