If the best candidate at any part of process is Chris Coleman then something has gone horribly wrong. He shouldnt be under consideration.

A good one from around the time of my arrival:

I did originally say unless someone is already lined up. I didn't actually realise that QPR is a week on Saturday, I assumed it was midweek,which does change things a bit,it's more of a stretch. That said, if we do happen to win at Norwich and the managerial stars aren't aligning, then there's no problem for me in leaving it to Johnson at QPR and trying to eek out another important result.

What’s tugay up to these days?

Have you just woken up from a coma? There’s negativity because are owners are useless and sold all our best players, while driving away two very good managers and replacing them with a dud who’s just left the club. I’d like a good manager, but I don’t think Rudy or Pasha are capable of hiring one.

It depends how good the candidate is. If Bilic says he's willing to come Im snapping his arm off at the elbow regardless of what Johnson's done to that point. If the only candidate whose said he's willing to come at that point is say Coleman (apologies MB) Im fobbing him off and giving Johnson another week at least until I can find someone decent.

Why bother with a team!

I really dont get this idea of speeding up or slowing down dependant on each result under Johnson. Imagine if we had spoke to a candidate(s) and then fobbed them off for a week after a win. Cant work like that. It shouldnt be a mad panic but it should be and remain until solved a pressing, urgent priority.

Coventry & Real Sociedad.

Think Tuesday's team selection was with this game in mind, maybe the one for Jorgensen.

The knob Ending Dingle, Alexander? He'll get plenty of grace from Rovers fans! 🙈😂

Which were the other 2 apart from Fulham?

I've met him a few times on nights out. QPR his number 1 job Rovers his second.

No worries. I agree with your suggestions above Bilic and Rowett. Probably the best of those mentioned.

Yeah, if it relates to historical breaches it was a deliberate attempt to flout the rules and overspend to try and get into the PL (which at the time they did) It wasn't an inadvertent breach or overspending by a small amount. Ridiculous.

The likes of Wednesday can rightly feel understandably pissed right off with that leniency. As Rev says, let’s hope we’re not either come May!

The knob comment was accusing me of fishing for a reaction which you know isn't true. Apologise though.

Always a Feb release clause?

Coleman Had Kean as his coach at 3 different clubs.

Not just an isolated result, but a drab 1 nil against the worst team in the league, possibly in the history of the Championship.

I dont know if they were panicked into it or not by the result in Lowe's 3rd game but they then appointed Ismael. That went well didnt it Edit: If necessary Id rather wait a bit longer to try and get the right person than rush into it and be stuck long term with the wrong one (as long as Johnson is doing ok in the meantime of course)

On a more positive note re the next manager:- We could get a decent one if he:- Treats it as a stepping stone Is smart enough to negotiate a good early escape route

I think you can argue his only decent spell at meaningful Club level was for a period at Fulham but he eventually got sacked from there as well as long ago as 2007. Also seems to have had a decent 6 month spell at Real Sociedad before leaving in January 2008 citing "differences of opinion". That's essentially it Club wise. Everywhere else he's been he seems to have either absolutely bombed and/or left after a very short period of time. The Clubs he's been at since being sacked by Sunderland in 2017 are so obscure there's not much info on them. Im not sure how to gauge his time with Wales nor am I sure how relevant it is to Club football. He reached the 2016 Euros with prime Gareth Bale and some other very good players in the side but either side of that he became the first Welsh manager ever to start off with 5 successive defeats and failed to qualify for the 2018vWorld Cup and resigned. Just me being a knob and everyone else is wrong though.

The 3 you mentioned all are very much within the better names mentioned. Rowett was sacked by a relegation rival this season though. I totally disagree with the idea of increasing or decreasing the pace of the appointment based on an isolated result by a caretaker. It should be a top priority regardless, and that shouldnt mean rushing. Dont rush, but dont slow down if we get a result at Norwich. Saw similar with Lowe.
