According to urban legend the band were named after the amount produced from a Sherman.

He seems like an intelligent bloke and I noted in that interview that he expressed some concern about going into clubs as a firefighter and the demands and draining nature of constantly battling against the odds. Not sure that would fit with the Venky stooges' plans of cut, cut, cut, sell, sell, sell whilst trying to keep heads above water. Think he lives Derbyshire way and probably still has mates involved at Derby so will do his homework via Eustace on what he can expect here. Don't think he will like what he hears. So suspect it will go one of two ways if he's offered the job. Either it's a short term arrangement with him jumping ship once he's mucked around in the transfer market or its a 'no thanks' now especially when they try to force him to work with all the existing staff or for a pittance. Never a good sign if you aren't even prepared to give the new guy free reign on his coaching staff.

With Rowett hes got exactly the right sort of CV. Reminiscent of Eustace. Whats confusing though is why after Millwall he has struggled to get jobs? Just interim at Birmingham, then took the role at Oxford, which by some accounts he got frustrated with and effectively walk away from. I kind of feel like he will take on Rovers as hes struggled to get jobs before, and we are in a similar place to Oxford so fishing in the same pool, but when he is in the circus will quickly be looking for an exit. Feels very much like Eustace. But if he keeps us up I wont complain. Interested to see what he makes of Gestede and Suhail....

IF he is appointed (far from convinced at this point) can't see him being willing to sign a load of shite from obscure European Clubs like what happened last summer. Which would be good. But like I say Ill believe it when it happens.

I could see someone like Rowett following the Eustace path and come in and un spectacularly grind some results out. Then bring a more solid approach next season that will see midtable or higher but by then he'll be pissed off with summer sales and budget cuts. So he'll be gone by next Feb but at least hopefully we'd be midtable Championship instead of league 1. Which in my mind would be well worth having him now.

After watching Rowett on You Tube I think the Leicester job would be more attractive to him which would be a shame for us because he's just the man we need.

I know we aren’t going to be getting anyone if any real proper calibre. But I can’t help think with Rowett (if he does get the job) whether these are his type of players. The teams he’s had he’s had physical sides. I just look at these players and I’m not sure they fit his profile. Let’s see. Tough task for anyone tbf, squads poor.

So please tell me about this 10cc and wank etc. because I don't know what you're on about

Ive been busy for a few hours and received a message from my mate's son saying "Looks like Rowett". Id be pleased with that so came on here to see what's happened and all I can see at a quick glance is that the betting odds have gone into 1/3 and Nixon claims we'll be speaking to Rowett because Bilic has been fobbing us off. Is that it? Doesn't sound particularly conclusive to me, or have I missed something?

He has zero respect from me. If he believes what he says in his podcast that means he doesnt believe the shite he puts out for the LT.

That account has absolute shown their arse tonight. Acting like a 13 year old again.

Rowett is way better than Ismael and way more sensible than some of the names linked. There needs to be some heads wobbled in this fanbase WTF do people expect ? Not sure this squad nor the way the club ethos claims to be is suitable for his style though, going off his Millwall stint although he'll like the grafters here.

He’s pretty much a junior reporter, doesn’t have the connections or stature but think his hands are tied

Sounds good I’ll take that

Come off it, Jackson's worse than useless, always has been. That isnt to say it was fair for the Club to ban him.

He has my respect for telling it like it is on the podcast. The club is a disgrace.

Lengthy and recent interview with Rowett:

Paul Weller - Wild Wood

I expect Sammie will do very well under Eustace, Eustace knows how to get the best out of players.

Sounds very 'Eustace' in fairness.

Every new manager is a gamble. However experienced, even more so working for that shower. Klopp would struggle with Rudy and Pasha above. I want to stay up ofcourse but all a bit irrelevant while Raos still the owners. I would usually be quite excited and optimistic now about a fresh start and new manager. They have robbed me of that feeling too.

Cashin reminds me so much of Gail Givet who too was converted from CB to LB and a no nonsense tough defender.

Who's Rowett bringing with him then?

Oxford have been (so far) worse than us this season, which is some achievement - is their squad that bad or does Rowett take some responsibility..?
