I could handle it if they weren't billionaires and were running the club correctly after cutting away the venky deadwood.

Chris Coleman would be the final nail in the coffin of this season and beyond. His run with Sunderland was comical, and he's failed everywhere since. Absolutely horrific manager. I'd take pretty much any of the other mentioned names over him.

Coleman coming in with his links to Steve Kean and others really would be yet another kick in the balls for us fans. Pasha and Rudy will be laughing their tits off.

Needs to be Gary Rowett - can't see anyone else good.

Right agency?

It doesn’t say that to be fair it would be diabolical. But the article doesn’t quite say that. Just says he’s under consideration

Hedges Kargbo Henriksson de neve Tavares shouldn’t be an issue tbh

He’s just said Coleman is the preferred option, so at least now we know that’s not a joke.

I just hope that Johnson will be allowed to pick his own squad, starting 11, formation and generally make all the decisions throughout the game. But, knowing RG and SP, I doubt it.

Lancashire Telegrah saying it really is likely to be Coleman. When do the fans go nuclear exactly? Do we just not have a red line in this fan base anymore?

It’s going to be Coleman isn’t it.

If the new administration used the term 'running costs' after buying us from the Venky's I'd lead the next boycott myself.

Wonderful attention to detail from Rovers again: https://www.rovers.co.uk/news/2026/february/03/preview--rovers-v-sheffield-wednesday/

Had to make a slight alteration.

Mclaughlin's shite, been impressed with Atcheson 3-5-2 hasnt been working. We've lost two and drawn one with Cashin in the side, not our player, fuck him. Re Tyjon - need to try something different. Not sure if you've noticed but we haven't been scoring any goals. In general need to shake it up and do something different. Absolutely no point carrying on doing the same things Ismael was. However it's only my opinion Im sure we'll actually see a more conservative line up like Tricky's. Doesn't really matter as long as we get the 3 points.

Have we all got our blankets and thermos flasks ready? Going to be chilly. Senior citizens might go for RG again -it's a way to keep warm 😉

They should be doing it as fast as they can. That doesnt mean panicking and getting someone crap. They shouldnt speed up/slow down based on each passing result. Getting a new competent manager should be the pressing priority. I dont trust them but that is what they should be doing.

Additions outside of the window are subject to the EFL giving permission - I’ve no idea how often they grant this.

Precisely why they won't be appointed? All the names of good managers mentioned is not in the RG plan is it -don't they just want a bland coach who does as he is told and does the best with what he gets?

It should though depending on the calibre of whoever is available permanently. (Assuming Johnson can steady the ship) I dont know if they were rushed into selecting Ismael by the result in Lowe's 3rd game - I tend to believe they happened across someone who was "aligned" - but if they were panicked into it, look how badly that turned out.

If whoever the new guy is wants to play a back 4 (and isn't told he has to play Cashin there), Pickering & Ribeiro may come back into consideration Probably also depends on how bad Pratts injury is, could be up to 8 weeks, so they may leave him out and then loan him to a National League team (non league loans out can still be done) for the final month or so of the season

it may be boring and pragmatic, but nothing maverick and Gudjohnsen, Baradji and Pickering/Ribeiro can come on and impact appropriately

We need a robbie savage , billic or Keane kind of character , someone who would scare the shit out of gestede so he stays the fuk away from team management and good performance coming from fear of the gaffer

Maybe we play him second half of the season, he scores a bagful of goals to keep us up, Pasha is fired and the Venky's sell the club and we sell him in the summer for big money to pay for our squad rebuild?

and Pickering ffs
