Rowett would be an obvious candidate if nobody has come in for him and Ismael leaves. Well, he would have been if Waggott was still picking managers. With the current lot at the wheel we'd probably hire some absolute rando who'd been sacked from a Belgian second division side a few months prior. -

Yep, Carl Leaburn’s lad, his name was mentioned a number of times on here over the last couple of years as being the sort we needed who could have been plucked from League 1 at a small investment price. As always, missed the boat ! -

Despite having no back up, I'm overjoyed to not have to see this clown in our strip again. The anti-forward. The defenders best mate. The jester. See ya. -

We aren't going to pay any fee for a manager or head coach in the form of compensation package to another club. Last 15 years will give you an idea about our new 'hiring policy': - Sacked Allardyce in December 2010 and hired Kean (internal recruitment). Relegated less than two years later. - Sacked Kean in September 2012 and hired Berg in November 2012, who had been out of work for over a year. He was in turn sacked 57 days later. - Hired Appleton in March 2013 who was on a one-year rolling contract with Blackpool. Sacked 67 days later. - Hired Bowyer (internal recruitment having been in charge of the reserve team). First as a caretaker manager after Berg and Appleton and later signed initially a one-year rolling contract in May 2013. Sacked in late 2015. - Hired Lambert in late 2015 who had been out of work for nine months since his spell at Aston Villa. Didn't even last a year as Lambert himself triggered a release clause in the contract before end of season. - Hired Coyle in June 2016 shortly after he ended his last contract by mutual consent with MLS side Houston Dynamo. Sacked by mutual consent in February 2017 after poor results which would ultimately lead to relegation to L1. - Hired Mowbray who had been out of work for five months since his spell at Coventry. Left at the end of contract having been five years at the club and getting them back to the Championship. - Appointed JDT in June 2022 who had been out of work for roughly six months after ending his contract with Malmö FF. Left by mutual consent in February 2024. - Appointed Eustace in February 2024 who was sacked four months earlier at Birmingham. Left a year later after Derby triggered his release clause. - Hired Ismaël in February 2025 who had been out of work for almost a year since being sacked by Watford. So you're either going to see an internal recruitment (Johnson? Vignal?) or someone who's been out of work for a while once Ismaël leaves. -

It’s a perfect opportunity for them, given that the reporter is currently banned from the ground. A groundswell of support for the boycott, could be tied in to a theme. Ban the local paper and we come out in solidarity.

Haha, both me, my girlfriend, sister and brother in law did the same for my folks, so you’ll be fine!

Another FA Cup game here from 1950’s, this time away at Cardiff with Rovers taking 4000 fans. I was surprised to read 5 aeroplanes carrying 200 supporters each taking fans too! You don’t associate away travel with planes back in the day, or I don’t. Draw away from home, we won 2-1 back at Ewood:

Yeah Surprised a championship club hasn't taken him at that price, he was out of contract at the end of the season I think -
The original post must be the most liked post on here ever, or very close to it. Can the mods print that and all the comments off and send it recorded to Pasha Gestede and Ismael and ask them to comment on it in the local media. I know they won’t, but let’s do this and get the story out, as it is all heartfelt and it would be a shame to waste it.
