Oh I didn’t know that, horrible stuff hope he recovers quickly

Fella we say who we don't want because we're linked with dross. I'd happily take Bilic.

If it’s Ainsworth I’m going to buy a leather jacket and listen to rock music

Who don’t we want as manager. Anyone whose name begins with Paul Paul Cook Pail Jewell Paul Hurst Paul Lambert Paul Ince

I reckon it is Graham Alexander not Ainsworth.

So you are just being a contrarian? People are just saying based on names mentioned who they would want and who they wouldnt want. Doesnt have any indication on whether people would "get behind" them. You specifically seemed to think that Coleman would be a good appointment. Why are you so reluctant to elaborate on why?

Even if it were say Owen Coyle?

And the facts are he is finished and shouldn't even be brought up. No way on earth he keeps us up, he couldn't do that when he was younger and better.

Gareth Ainsworth has applied for the Rovers job at every opportunity since Mowbray left. Not even our mugs will be silly enough to hire him. Would be disastrous.

I'm not "endorsing" anyone as such, I'm just surprised at the negativity , I'll get behind whoever gets it. Same old same old, so many say who they don't want but won't say who they do want. Nothing changes.

Yeah just checked. Would have taken a punt on him when he was at Wycombe, maybe not now, but I would never under-estimate the capacity of this mob to find someone worse.

Next manager? Who will be pliant, be aligned and content to mouth the project? Who is with the right agency? Who will kiss RG’s arse? Who will accept incoming players selected by RG based on the financial framework rather than ability? Who will accept the team being selected by RG? Who will make bland platitudes in interviews with the media? Who will be cheap? EDIT Who may already have connections with RG/Pasha/Kean? Who will not be a strong personality used to getting his/her own way?

And is failing at Gillingham with a relatively big budget.

Mowbray "finished" the moment he got us promoted from League 1. He could at an extreme stretch be the proverbial "safe pair of hands" to steer us to safety for the rest of the season if Johnson suddenly bombed and we were absolutely desperate but a "Hell no" beyond that.

Gillingham are currently 14th in League Two and Ainsworth has a win percentage of 30.95% in 42 games. So it’s either Graham Alexander or Gary Rowett typo!

At the risk of sounding like an anti boycotting "happy clapper" why would he leave Bradford at this point to move here? Without checking I seem to think he's been abysmal in some of his previous jobs. So it'd be a no from me on that one.

It isn't is it when compared to what is being banded about, despite being ill he still has a better recent cv than a lot of the misty eyed stuff. And a better resume at this level than most of them, we need to start dealing in facts i'm afraid.

I'd actually have Alexander over a lot of the other names being banded about in terms of a left field punt. Got to be realistic our squad is barely Championship standard at the min and if we go down we need someone who knows that league because we won't be buying ourselves out of it this time. Seems like a guy whose earned his stripes and might be suited to working with what we have now.

I didn't think Ainsworth was bald

First para bang on. Suggesting Mowbray in any capacity though is falling right into that same misty eyed nostalgia. He is finished.

I think you just want to show off that you live in Wilmslow 😁

I wouldn’t mind Ainsworth due to him being a supporter of the club and he’d actually care. But since leaving Wycombe his stock has dropped too far for him to be contention. Graham Alexander wouldn’t be a bad shout, done very well with Bradford taking them from bottom half in league two to currently sitting in the play offs of league one.

Let's be honest anyone who will still work for our clowns isn't going to be good. Need rid of owners, then bring back JDT please.

Hopefully it’s a typo and it’s meant to say GR for Gary Rowett because I really don’t want Ainsworth..

Since Chaddy isn't here to say it, I must remind anyone with a 5 O'clock alarm that they must realise that this is the way of the world now and what the clubs wanted.
