Wonder whether they are considering/are even aware of Jimmy Thelin who is out of work. Did amazing initially with Aberdeen including winning silverware and then it all seemed to fall apart.

Trying to drum up business for agents and bookies.

My ideal one right now is ange Postecoglu the on a similar record - I just think we both know this backroom / setup / ownership isn’t bringing in anyone with that sort of reputation

Predictable. Take as long as you need.

Honestly wouldn't put it past them to look at Parkinsons job with Wrexham and think Challinor could make the step up to the championship in a similar fashion. He got Stockport to League One, finished 3rd last season (losing to Orient in the play offs), now got them 4th. The bulk of his career has been in non-league, which makes this a huge, huge risk but as an outside choice, you never know. Not an appointment I'd go for, it just carries far too much risk.

I think you'd be more suited to the Beano than the bible son.

Key word here is laughing. Knew why they did what they did, but I’m a rovers fan. Was a similar feeling with JDT and JE, “Just do your best”. Difference with Eustace, he’s old fashioned. I personally couldn’t stand the JDT “keeper gets most of the ball” setup, but both go down in a category of putting themselves first. Cant blame them from the outset. But I’m not fucking sat on the outset! 🤣

For me, keeping Alebiosu is the equivalent of a top signing. We need him if we're gonna stay up. He really benefits from a run of games, so he'll be vital in the run in. Tues night is massive in terms of kick starting the momemtum, followed by a 2 - 2 point in Norfolk. COYB

Ah, so you are not going to show me the posts? Thought not. Rude? You are the one making up stupid comments i never said. I've let it slide, but you are boring me now, you are not a kid so behave yourself.

Will Still (be owned by the Raos)?

The only reason folk are thinking Mowbray is a good choice is he got us promoted from the lower division. Ie already planning for relegation. I'm trying to be a bit more proactive. If as you've said you don't want Mowbray, or anyone formerly connected to the club, and having had more than 3 seconds to think it through, lets hear your suggestion. I'm sure its going to be errmmm biblical.

Obviously he left because it's an absolute shit show here and he felt Derby were a Club with ambition. And results this season are completely bearing that out. Nothing whatsoever to do with the alleged extra £15k p.w. you've always been seemingly obsessed about. Being proved completely wrong and turning abusive. Well done. I wasn't rude with you.

I'd quite like the guy who is currently managing Motherwell, but we probably couldn't afford him, and he would probably see it as a step down at this point, sadly. He couldn't be any worse than the usual journeymen or someone from the lower leagues. Motherwell are having a good season. https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Jens_Berthel_Askou

Disregarding everything that goes on off the pitch in the sad shell of a club we’ve in many ways become; Johnson until the end of the season, then regardless of what division we’re in someone hungry and on an upward trajectory. I’d much rather have an appointment like Mousinho at Portsmouth, (pointing) Keith Andrews at Brentford or for that matter Eustace at Rovers than another Ismaël or Mowbray type.

My dream appointment would be Gerrard. I've wanted him for a long time as I can see the potential pay off if it was to go to plan and be perhaps our potential version of Vincent Kompany. A way back in for him just down the road from where he wants to be. Lots of ties between the clubs. Would put arses on seats. Would be great for loans. Was amazing at Rangers and is a fiercely competitive winner with a point to prove. His stint in the middle east was clearly for the cash but it would be a great opportunity for him to drag us into something respectable and give himself a shot towards the Liverpool job again. He is a leader for a club without leadership. Can't see it happening, he'd probably avoid us like the plague and they wouldn't have the balls to take him on but... If there was a chance... They should be absolutely BEGGING.

Oh he'll have ended up here via the usual hidden links for sure and i believe Suhail has similar links. That's why i always think there might be an element of truth in it when people say 'they' want us relegated and they want a cheap league 1 outfit. The 'they' imo isn't the detached ownership it's some or someone in the middle. Every time we have a fire sale then replace with mostly cheaper lesser players it follows the same pattern. Third time now in 15 years and somebody somewhere is getting something out of it. The 'agency' would be able to control everything under less gaze in lge 1 and fill the place to the brim with their low grade crap whilst the owners pay no interest because they are satisfied it's costing them less and the hassle and expectations are halved.

Because our backroom management are shit, and the people signing the cheques, don’t give two shits, and/or just want to cut their expenditure. All very different to some weird fascination with the backroom / owners loving what the manager was getting out of us because “dumbing down”, and would never sack him of course.

I keep letting you get away with this selective stupidity to avoid embarrassing you. I've had enough. Lets nip it in your little bud. When Eustace left you got all hissy and upset when i suggested he left simply for an extra 15k a week. It really upset you for some really weird reason. He left in February. Three months before the end of last season. Who in their right mind would predict results for the following season???? Certainly not me. So either put up or shut up. Show me these posts you keep referencing in my name. And when you can't, have the courtesy to apologise. Why you constantly insist on being the class clown i have absolutely no idea.

Well And Scott Parker will be available soon...

If he should have been sacked weeks ago then why wasn't he?

JHR we’ve had these discussions plenty of times over the years, you have this way of weaving the worst case scenario, and when (like this afternoon) it’s proven to be way off, you just move goalposts. I’ve grown tired of intervening with any comment and it’s rare that even read your posts these days (taken the advice of our resident mod mate to just scroll on), but I just found it poetic today that the first post that sat on top of my feed when texts of “vals gone” came through my phone, where JHR attempting his regular attempt to convince everyone in your familiar tone, that the powers that be are “happy with Ismael”. Response to being wrong on that? He walked away because of a bust up… despite the fact he should’ve been sacked weeks ago.

Im at the point where i couldn't care less... if we sign someone that does well(initially) they'll be gone when they realise what an amature hour circus it is and that come the transfer window he won't get any players that he actually wants, no serious money will be spent and his best players will be sold without him having any say in the matter. And if we get someone that does shit from the off it will just be more time wasted and negativity around the place until they're eventually potted Likely we'll get someone bang average... just good enough to earn a bit of respect, but not good enough to safe us from relegation

My wish certainly isn't Mowbray but it's a more logical choice than Duff to anyone who actually stops and thinks about it for 3 seconds.

I'd take russell Martin in a heartbeat. He plays great football and is a real philosopher Kidding
