It’s easy to turn down a job when you haven’t been offered it.

He is unavailable for some time. The only possibility is once the post up swelling had gone he could train and maybe play with a carbon fibre mask. I was at the game when he got injured and as he hit the ground he shouted 'I've broken my jaw' and he was in real pain. These were Tuesday's subs: Substitutes: Michalski, Alebiosu, Pickering, Gardner-Hickman, Gudjohnsen, Afolayan, Ohashi, O’Riordan, Montgomery

Richardson playing down the links today to Readings local media, which I'm happy about. Now just need Coleman ruled out!

He wasnt.

Further thoughts on Savage (yes I know he played down the rumours earlier today). If Rovers went down and FGR went up, then it'd make a lot more sense in my eyes to bring him in for a League One campaign, off the back of him having a 2nd promotion in 2 years as a manager. However this is all hypothetical and for right now, I just don't see it happening or going well. I do genuinely think that Rovers would be best finding a short term solution and then reassess in the summer...which of course means they'll just end up giving some clown a 3 year deal again.

He was on the bench Tuesday

Anyone who thinks Coleman is a good idea needs their head testing in my opinion. The same Chris Coleman with a win percentage of 17,5% at Sunderland Has links to the person we don't name It will cause a right kick off

So there's more than 25 available then. I'll be amazed if we have 500 there tbh.

Misty eyed nostalgia is taking a grip again on too many as if Hughes walks back in and the last 20 years evaporate. Reality needs to dawn i'm afraid, we'd be far safer getting Mowbray although that certainly wouldn't be my first second or third choice.. Sparky is useless without a decent budget and the Tafia and remember he did nothing at league 2 Bradford City the biggest club in that league by far at the time. Yesterdays man too long in the tooth now with too many recent failures.

A few years ago we were a PL/Championship side and Stockport were a National League North side. Right now I reckon we'd struggle to persuade Challinor to leave them to come here. They're spending money, are well run and have a chance at promotion this season. They could be in a higher league next season. That's before we analyse working for the buffoons and shysters at Rovers.

No chance of it happening obviously, but I would happily take Ole. Can't believe Sparky is managing in National League now, just seems crazy to me.

We won't be paying compensation for anyone I imagine.

A mate of mine who works at the football agency CAA Base told me Ole Gunnar Solksjaer is desperate to land a new job in the North West and was gutted he didn't get the United job albeit temporarily. It takes some leap to suggest he would be interested in Rovers but he was linked with us last Summer before VI got the gig. Surely wages and his ambitions would deter our Muppets ?

Can't really complain with the selection, whoever made it.

Have to say looking at win% at his 4 clubs, Dave Challinor has a very impressive record. Wouldn't be against his appointment, done a fantastic job at Stockport

Rovers are looking to loan him out to a national league club.

Was it Chaddy?

2 Rovers players named in England i15 squad 👍👏👏

So does Adam Owen, so does Pasha. We are still fishing in the same SEM infested pond

...and there were similar rumours around the Andy Cole transfer as well. Something to remember when heralding him as a man of character.

Have a feeling we've gone for Luis Boa Morte again...

It makes absolutely zero sense for us to take an interest in Richardson. He was unemployed for over 18 months after he was sacked after a short failed spell at Rotherham, and has been at Reading for 15 games. We would now have to pay them compensation. There are far better, safer and more interesting options who are unemployed and we could use the compensation money to pay them a bonus or higher wage. He isn't good enough and certainly not good enough to warrant paying a good chunk of compensation for. His Championship record at Wigan and Rotherham is dismal, infact other than 1 League One season at Wigan after they were relegated and a few games at Reading in League One he's never done it. The links to Blackburn are stretching it big time - time in our academy going on 30 years ago should be irrelevant.

Coleman has links to Kean , just let that sink in ! Gestede has too. It makes me wonder , what the fuck is going on !
