Cifuentes in from 33s to 12-1

Rowett would be a good choice. He'd be similar to Eustace. Got a decent track record. I just can't see it happening

pay as you coach

Would be logical and sensible. No nonsense, track record. No need for compensation. Too sensible I fear.

It just doesn't fit does it? I'm never keen on a dingle, but could accept one where the case is overwhelming. An example being Dyche after his work there, clearly a good manager for a Championship club. But Alexander? Is the case overwhelming? No - his record is decent, but there are 3-4 others in League One and Two with similar or better records of results - Challinor one, I like Nigel Clough who has done brilliantly at Mansfield and doesn't come with the 'baggage' of legendary status at PNE/Burnley.

Blackpool has serious health care issues. It's also very poor. This is a study about disposable income.

That would be a surprisingly sensible decision for our mob. Wonder if it'd be until the end of the season or permanent?

We know what he's thinking anyone who loves the club must know

Make sure you listen to the end…😉

Just as a fun fact and in relation to the poster ridiculing the thought of a Duo (in that Sav and Hughes). Viking FK who won the league in Norway, above Bodø Glimt have consisted of a duo for 5 years now. They are equal, have the same responsibilites but complement each other when its comes to communcations with the players, the tacticsal part of it. etc. They were both thinking about the job and was going to talks with Viking FK, instead of competing they sat down and discussed their philosophy about development, tactics and values. Boom, straight after they went to Viking and presented themselves as a duo instead of competitors. if anyone bother to read more about it: https://www.theguardian.com/football/2025/nov/30/the-town-has-lost-it-vikings-journey-from-the-abyss-to-the-verge-of-glory

Rowett now 2/1 with Talksport..

What a great interview. So reassuring too! He represents the values I always associated with the old Rovers. But I can't help wondering what the hell he must be thinking, when shysters like Gestede keep walking through the door!

I can't stomach the idea of Alexander. When he takes us down, the parties at the Dingledome and Deepdale where he is revered will be like the Ewoks at the end of Star Wars, we'll never hear the end of it.

Absolute cop out by the EFL.

Just a word for the fans making the journey tomorrow, tremendous effort for a 12.30 kick off, a bloody good effort anyway in the current climate! Back in the 60's my dad and his mates used to set off after the pubs shut on Friday night, coaches from Penny Street, It won't be that much different tonight, with Norwich being one hell of a trek. I'm going for a 1-1 draw, safe trip one and all.

Will listen with interest this afternoon, please don't ever put a title like that on the thread again though I nearly had a heart attack when I saw Karanka

How would Gerrard inspire me to go back to Ewood?

I really don't get the Alexander links. On paper he has a reasonable CV albeit that includes spells in Scotland and relatively well endowed clubs for the levels they were at - Bradford giants of League Two, MK Dons and Salford financially strong for their league, even Scunthorpe and Fleetwood were both throwing money at it when he was there. I don't understand why on earth he would walk away from a safe, secure job at Bradford, where he has a chance of promotion to the Championship this season, to come here and risk relegation. Maybe a pay rise but that's not much good if he's gone within 12 months or we go down. It is just random and bizarre. No connection, if anything the opposite with his PNE and dingle background. I'm struggling to see it. Presumably Bradford would want a hefty compensation package for him and his assistant, why pay that when there are alternatives with better records or no compensation required? Dean Smith I've never understood the fuss about either. Walsall - average - Brentford - mid table and they got promoted when he left and Thomas Frank took over. Villa he got promoted but with an incredible squad at his disposal. Probably far and away better than what we will ultimately end up with but he isn't a name that would generate any excitement or encouragement to me.

Best name mentioned for me, which is why it won't happen. Sorry no, he'll cost money, that's why it won't happen.

My name being Alexander, I like this. And I might get Alexander on the back of the next jersey 😉

But he won't bring back 15k would he? 10k? probably not? 5k? I don't think so either... realistically we'd get a few extra walk ons for the first 2/3 matches.. Realise we still have the same poor players we've had all season and then not return until a prem team turns up for an FA Cup drubbing!

Rowett now 6/1

Anyone below 16 shouldn't be allowed to be poached and then as you say. performance related and transfer related. Would be good to see the FA give a sum of money i.e. £100k once they get their first cap. would be huge for some of the smaller clubs who get their once in a decade talents poached.

More of a nobber than a Dingle, not that it makes it any better.

I think where he goes Chris Lucketti tends to follow, beyond that I really don’t know.
