Was watching that incident with Bowyer and Dyer this morning lol mad times they were

Wagner has a pretty decent record overall. Rowett too if you take Oxford out of the equation. Coleman on the other hand....

They've spent a fortune.

Alarming people still don't 'get' odds on the next Blackburn manager market..... For Coleman there's a link to Adam Owen, assumptions being made.....

Someone turn the lights off on the way out if its Chris Coleman.

come back to Lancs, Will...

lol, no

Tbh I’ve long since resigned myself to relegation this season - and tbh, given that Gestede is likely to still be in charge and therefore there’s no chance of us signing 5 or 6 decent Championship-standard players in the summer, it will probably be a blessing as next season would be even more of a struggle than this has been. So therefore, in my opinion, we need to be looking to appoint someone with an eye to getting us promoted next season. The best option I’ve seen named so far is Mercer’s suggestion of Chalinor - but that’s far too sensible and so I can’t see them going for him (plus I’m not sure he’d want it) Personally, I’d love to see someone like Duff, or even Robbie Savage who’s done well at Macclesfield & FGR. Hell, I’d even take Sherwood - it’d just be nice to feel some connection with the club again tbh - but again I can’t see any of those happening. The rest of the names mentioned are just depressing tbh - the likes of Rowett, Coleman, Wagner etc - managers with long lists of failures and the odd bright spot who somehow keep getting jobs despite all the evidence pointing to the fact that they’re not very good. 100% it’s going to be one of those

Well I was convinced that Val was here for the long haul, alignment and all that. The fact that he's gone on deadline day suggests to me that it was something that has happened recently, maybe the loss against Hull was the final straw or maybe the lack of incomings pushed Val over the limit? Either way, I was totally wrong 🤪

Leicester

My first thought upon seeing Chris Coleman mentioned was that he has worked with Steve Kean. Forget him being a former player here. It is his association with Kean that has my radar going. Which other Championship jobs has Chris Coleman been linked with recently? I genuinely don't know.

It is possible , he still has links with Gestede !

Chris Coleman as mentioned as the favourite on the last page would be a laughable appointment. Wonder if he would bring his old assistant from his Fulham days. Steve Kean.

Depressing looking at their squad now versus our own - chalk and cheese for a team actually backing a successful manager at the right timing (imagine if we did the same for JDT or Eustace!) Agyemang, Brereton, Szmodics, Bobby Clark, Carlton Morris - any of those 5 would instantly be our best attacking option. I think they've built the best squad outside of parachute payment clubs and Coventry to be honest.

The only way you’d make money on DeNeve is to sell his body parts on the dark web !

Amass left there to go on loan to Norwich a few days ago. Since then he's picked up an injury and is headed back to United for assessment.

I think it is probably going to be one from three agencies they have been familiar with over the past 15 years. Miller mentioned the main one to look out for last night in HSH. The other two are Unique (Val's agency) and SMI. Looking at the managers the three of those represent, I'll take a guess and say I expect to see the following in the running/linked by the press: 1) Any from the HSH list. I think there's a possibility Sami Hyypia is being considered for the role. There has been a Liverpool flavour here for a long while, plus Vignal (former Liverpool) has only recently joined the club. Hyypia managed Brighton in the past too, so if anybody behind the scenes has deluded visions of the 'Brighton model' (which this lot could never replicate), then Hyypia could be a shout. 2) Will Still (Unique). Currently available. 3) Marti Cifuentes (Unique). Currently available. 4) Lee Bowyer (SMI). Currently available. 5) Aitor Karanka. His agency is FIA, but he has been linked with the Rovers job in the past and his previous Boro connection makes him a possibility, IMO. He is currently in some kind of Technical Development role with the Spanish National team. Would he leave that to come here? Hmm, maybe. This might be his only route back into the Championship/English football for now. I think Cifuentes and Will Still are going to be out of reach. The former is said to be wanted by Watford. Will Still might feel that he can do better and wait for another opportunity. Number (4) is my guy feeling as to who it will be.

I hope not.

even Bolton managed to

With the greatest of respect to those throwing new manager names around does it really matter who we get when the squad is so weak and we have completely disinterested owners ? If by some miracle we survive this season will next season be any better ? Will the owners back the new manager in the transfer market ? Will they reduce season ticket prices to get the stadium rocking ? Will we increase our 4K Adult season ticket holders ? Will the club engage with lapsed fans ? Sadly we know all of these answers, nothing matters other than strangling the life out of Venkys until they are gone. Don't spend in the stadium, don't spend in the shop and when season tickets go on sale for next seasons "journey" if you must buy one leave it until the very last minute. We are an empty shell, a new manager will arrive and good luck to him, but we are simply shuffling the deck chairs around on the Titanic..

Yes. You've got to limit it to people who have a reputation to repair. Lee Bowyer, Ryan Mason etc..

It would absolutely hurt, no question, to see Trav lifting the playoff trophy would be absolutely gut wrenching but if that’s what it takes to get the media talking about the demise of Blackburn Rovers and the attraction of jumping from a club in the play offs to a club in danger of relegation, I’ll take it. We could appoint Jurgen Klopp but still can’t see him getting this current squad challenging for much. Tronstad walks in the summer, Toth & Alebiosu sold on. We need something to trigger a change.

For real?

Just seen Sheffield Wednesday have had a way better window than us in my opinion. Nakamba from Luton Amass Man Utd Jerry Yates Ethan Horvath Joe Lumley Jaden Heskey Nathan Redmond All better than we’ve bought in.
