I posted the link here earlier today

Dean Whitehead as joined as his number 2 and assistant head coach. He will work with the rest of the staff here

Andrew Proctor?

Won't that press conference be tomorrow and just the normal pre match interview? Plus given the social media world we need live in, clubs have their own social media channels compare to 20 years ago. Plus apart from the LT and BBC Lancs who else would be there?

What an utter and completely over reaction by some to Ismael's letter where he trying to forge a connection with the fan based. Just like JDT and Eustace did. What is people problem.

I know you can't do anything but focus on these possible red flags like you did all the time. Your own choice who also them given Luton position in the bottom 3. No red flags or risks when he left but you have no problem backing him for the job. Sacked in the playoffs and 9th. Watford is shit show given they had 9 head coaches in 4 and half years. Plus WBA sacking 2 managers in the playoffs. FFS. Maybe both clubs should have shown some patience and not be so trigger happy. I told you my concerns yesterday. What more do you want?

He had a plan B against us when losing 1 nil bringing on 2 strikers and won the game 2-1 And won th9th in the league is his least successful spell. Hardly ground breaking is it. FFS It's allow Rovers management time to interview and recruit the right candidate to be our next head coach. What don't you understand?

He played 3 at the back at Barnsley and WBA but at Watford he played 4-2-3-1 formation and mixed style of play. He is tactical adaptable depending the players he has.

Happy with this appointment overall, He knows this league very well, been n the playoffs place before, adaptable tactically depending on the players he has, Disciplinarian' off the pitch and form a leadership group of senior players. (The last 2 points I've posted is mentioned in Elliot Jackson article on him). This appointment seems for the short term, but also the medium and long term given he has been a 3 and half season. Lets hope he can get us a playoff place. People will mentioned his times at WBA and Watford and being sacked there, but lets look at when they sacked him, they weren't in poor league position or facing relegation battle. they were in 5th and 9th FFS. I wish him all the best @MarkBRFC, you mentioned in the other thread why Gestede and Owen were involved in the head coach selection and what experience they have. I would say that given their role at Rovers, they will have massive say on this appointment along with Pasha and Waggott, but also making sure they can work together as a team. Owen has alot of football experience with football, Gestede whilst in his first football role, This is his first big decision in his role. @lraCyou mention this in the other thread, so why not have someone lined up with time too, especially with the prize on offer. Whilst I get the understanding of what you mean, Given that Eustace was still technically here when we won at WBA game and Plymouth game under Lowe, it bought Rovers should time to interview candidates and from Alan Nixon has said in his reporting of the situation, it appears that the loss on Saturday speeded up the process of bring in the new head coach. Why didn't we have a mini shortlist of replacement to go, maybe we did or we didn't, I can't really answered that one, maybe we had 2 or 3 potential targets but none wanted to come form different reasons or Rovers wanted to go down interview process like a few Championship clubs have done this season. The honest answer is I don't know

was the fans forum meeting tonight?
