[LeChuck]

Welcome John, let's hope he's a good 'un.

Out of interest, who is his agent?

[The Rover of Finland]

Good luck at Rovers John, just keep away from the strikers!!

Nigel Winterburn wasn´t so great defence coach so maybe John should avoid midfielders too. Anyway, good luck!

[bep]

Good luck John lets hope its a happy one.

[Mercer]

Sincerely hope that he cuts the mustard. Good luck.

[bubblerrovers]

[cruz]

Sincerely hope that he cuts the mustard. Good luck.

Better player and slightly better managerial record than the last assistant.

Won Danish coach of the year and Danish superleague both as a manager and an assistant.

Is it true that he has only been appointed until the summer?

Wait, what's the joke?

They don't even have the same name?

[Amo]

Not really the appointment I was thinking of, but maybe that's why Kean said we'd sit up and take notice?

Anyway, welcome to the club, Mr. Jensen. One less role to fill.

Good luck at Rovers John, just keep away from the strikers!!

I wouldn't mind more strikers AND more midfielders... if that's what u were getting at

I remember his goal against germany... class strike!

All the best John!!! Onwards and upwards!!!!

[roverwhelmed]

Welcome John All the best!

[DE.]

Quite amusing that the assistant has more managerial credentials than the manager. Oh well... good luck to him! Judging from his brief experience in management in seems he's more suited to the assistant role.

[John]

Strange appointment.

Best of luck John!

[BuckyRover]

Mrs Desai said we wanted someone who had played in EPL.

Using that criteria it's not strange at all.

[John]

Why?

And why is she deciding?

[RevidgeBlue]

Why?

And why is she deciding?

Errr........ because she and her family paid 20m for the Club and own it?

When she said "we" I take it she meant the owners, the rest of the Club hierarchy and Steve Kean.

Welcome to the Club Mr. Jensen. As someone else said - stay away from the strikers please!

(Happy now Den?)

[John]

So owners making direct footballing decisions, is that the best way to run a club? Of course they can do as they like, I was not debating/questioning that, plus that is what worries me.

Glad the appointment has made you sit up and take notice.
