Not arsed about past experiences, happens all the time, but id 100% have Alexander over Ainsworth.

It's no win for us though. He comes in, he's a success, we get it in the neck from Dingles for worshipping a Dingle Legend He comes in, he's shocking and relegates us, we get it in the neck from Dingles for hiring "Agent Alexander"

Yeah, I think you’re right there.

Given the absolute state Venkys and their wretches have put us in, the fact that a potentially decent manager could be coming in that played for the 6 fingered lot should not be a concern

Yes you’re right, but something needs to be done about that situation.

Coyle had failed at every club he’d been at after he left the dingle dome. That’s why I didn’t want him. Nothing to do with him managing Burnley. When I was watching in the early days we had former Burnley players playing for us without a problem,.

Indeed, Rovers are not innocent in this though Eze came here from Accrington just over a year ago, Tyjon himself was poached from Rochdale a year before that

Chronic lack of pace suffered after injury.

I couldn't give a shit if while playing for Burnley, Alexander said Blackburn was a disgusting shithole, Blackburn people were arseholes or if he shit in the middle of the pitch at Ewood, as long as he does his best if he was ever appointed that's OK for me

At this point experience counts for everything. Always gonna be the underlying Dingle factor but that's irrelevant if it means survival.

Tin hat on…IMO Graham Alexander would be a good appointment. Look at his stats in management, albeit lower leagues, but ….impressive. He’s untarnished, he’s played under some good management in his playing days and he’s a winner. It may be a small pond in which we fish..but this fish does not stink !

One thing about these interviews with people who predominantly have worked behind the scenes of the main stage is that when they come to the fore, as we saw with David Lowe, is that they are so intrinsic with the club, because they don't have that media focus all the time, no weekly interviews etc, everything they say is from the soul, about the Club. Does somewhat warm the heart knowing there are still people left in some capacity still wanting the best for our club. I'd actually like him as the manager although I don't think that's what he wants. To know that someone on the touchline values his role and is there to compete weekly for the love of the badge. This was the best interview I've seen in a while come out the club since Lowes last win

Alexander being an ex PNE/Dingle player doesn’t bother me. It did with Coyle because he was a shit appointment and a Dingle.

1. Hire underwhelming manager 2. Said manager talks about the project, how big a club Rovers are and there are no excuses 3. Fans reaction ranger from, 'meh' to 'he speaks well, back the lads' 4. Results are marginally better for a few games so stay of execution until next season 5. Crap window, further devaluing of the squad 6. Crap results 7. Manager leaves in February And on and on.... PURGATORY

Why would he leave Bradford to come here? Doing a good job and a massive gamble considering they could be in a league above us next season Wagner has a decent record, would be my choice

You’re making the mistake of thinking players are really invested in the club they play for. These days for 90% of them it’s just a job. Why would anybody trying to work their way up the managerial ladder deliberately ruin their chances of moving up by deliberately setting up their team to be relegated ?

I'm not particularly bothered about any dingle connection. Pasha & Gestede are worse than any dingle that ever existed. The only thing that should be in question, is he the right man for the job and can he keep us up? Alexander whilst has an ok record over his career, has never managed at this level so it's a complete gamble again. Plus the fact he has two and a half years on his deal surely means it's a no go as we won't pay compo.

Surely we aren’t childish enough to not want people based on who they played for? It’s about the best man for the job, not sure if that’s Alexander but I’d base it on real reasons.

I thought he was very careful in his wording. He didn't outright say he didn't want it from I heard.

Alexander former Burnley player. He’ll try get us relegated. Can shove that one down the drain. But then again, our self sabotaging board would do anything to ruin us.

How is savage still on the odds when he's said he doesn't want it lol bonkers

These days that’s the best we can hope for.

That’s interesting.
