I think even if you'd like to give Lowe the gig ( I wouldnt) you've got to hang fire.

If you give it him now until the end of the season and we lose the next 3 you've nowhere to go.

If we win or get good results over the next 3 or 4 it'd probably be a lot safer to give it him.

True, but that could be said for giving anyone the job and us then losing the next three.

Ok thanks for reply. 

Rovers should be talking and interviewing different head coaches now. This is attractive head coach job. 

Would you be happy with Richie Wellens getting the head coach job? I think its a risk but could be worth it. Has a mixed record, but doing a very good job at Leyton Orient and lived in Manchester for years. Has pros and cons. 

 

Id be very underwhelmed. What relevance does the fact that hes lived in Manchester for years have on the decision?! Coyle lives/lived near Brockhall, so what.

Not sure if this has been posted yet, another clip of Big Sam discussing the goings on at Ewood.

I've know idea. Someone rang me saying it looks like Lee Carsley and sad to say thats stuck with me since 4pm today.

Don't fancy Carsley as he's worked with top players and a fall to Championship will be a learning curve. If we are going to keep "hope" going and that is possible, we need someone who can work with current players. Characters like Cooper & Dyche, both of which I previously disliked at previous clubs, fit that for me.

Richie Wellens 😂

No need to appoint before the weekend.  Certainly wouldn't give it Lowe. 

Although who ever comes will be pissing in the wind with these owners.

Location of where they live shouldn't come into it at all.

Wellens isn't the right choice IMO. Needs to earn his stripes with a promotion to the division first.

Relegated Oldham to League 2.

Parted company by mutual consent with Salford City.

Sacked by Doncaster. 13 points in 19 matches, left them in 23rd place.

Seems to be doing well at Leyton Orient but it would be a concerning appointment.

And we'd have to pay compensation!

Sheffield United is the 1 club we definitely want to see in 1 of the automatic promotion slots.  

I want to see Leeds United and Sheffield United take the automatic promotion spots. 

I'd love us to win the Playoffs, but really anyone but Burnley would do. I want that loan house of cards to come crashing down - their fans have been relentless during our down time, I want them to suffer worse. Administration and relegation out of the league, please.

Yeah unfortunately.

[neophox]

Steve Cooper my choice but fear they may go for Brian Priske or Edin Terzic who are unproven in the championship.

Think it's going to be Carsley or Edwards...Can't see anyone else coming in, especially from abroad.

Wellens joint favourite with Carsley on Talksportbet.

Didnt realise Wellens' record was quite so bad.

The fact that where he lives has been put forward as a positive tells you a lot.

if it happens,an appoinment like wellens would fit in with venkys/swag ideaology,get someone in who`s not up to the job and stop all progress to the top six

nothing against wellens,but he`ll be  out of his depth in the championship,it would be another appleton/coyle scenario

He’s doing well with Orient but that could easily be like Mowbray doing well and getting us promoted. We had the best players by far and we still made hard work of it at times.

[Cherry Blue]

Who with football insight will advise on appointment? 

Or is it down to a YES man who agrees to sign an agreement?

🤪 

[Andy]

Warnock or Allardyce to the end of the season.

Get them organised, get them motivated and see where it takes us.

We need an experienced hand, both short and long term.

It worries me that this isn't abundantly clear to the idiots currently running our club.

[BigUts]

I think it'll be Carsley. Wouldn't be my choice but I think Waggott will be dreaming his pants at "ex-England boss" taking over at Rovers. 

I can't myself see it working at all but if we can get even any kind of bounce then we will likely get in the playoffs. 

Id personally go all in on Allardyce until the summer 

[neophox]

Brace yourself for Ian Evatt .. fits the profile of getting ex Bolton managers in and cheap and without work
