[Archived] Nicko's Thread Part 3

[cn_barlow]

Shearer will be able to attract players to the club yes, because he is a well known person in football. I am not saying just give him the job, he will need an experience guy a long side him for it to work.

He has never once said he does not like Blackburn, so with that statement i think you are way of the mark

Sorry, i just dont want him back and i dont think it would be a good move. Who would be the experience? surely it would be better to have shearer as number 2

[modes98]

so he can't raid Rovers for players for a set length of time?

The board/manager has final say, i don't think putting a clause in will help with player moral.

[Hasta]

Is that the same Ancelotti who most definetly wasn't a contender for the post according to you Nicko

To be fair if you had been backing and laying on Betfair according to Nicko's advice you'd be quids in on this Chelsea market.

As long as it's not Rijkaard I'm still happy. Might back Ancelotti now though.

[nicko]

What if Sparky does'nt get the Chelsea job? Does that mean he is certain to go to City or is there a chance he might stay?

I don't see how he can come back to Rovers.

If he speaks to Chelsea, Man City will just have to be patient and wait for the answer. It's a dangerous game, but - as mentioned before - some prizes are worth chasing.

Just make it quick please.

Kluivert?

[nicko]

who you going to sue Nicko?

A joke.

[T4E]

Kluivert?

He means Rijkaard.

[nicko]

Nicko, sorry to ask again, but can the JW and the board (is it something that is done) put a clause in Hughes's move away so he can't raid Rovers for players for a set length of time?

Cheers

I don't think you could put that clause into any agreement.

How would the players feel apart from anything else?

You can't stop them going to Chelsea if he gets the job and comes back in for them.

If he goes to Chelsea you get paid up front, if he goes to Man City you get HP terms.

I think Hughes is playing this just like he played football: aggressively and going for the spectacular winner. He's trampling all over City to create the chance to go for the big one. I don't think for a second he is contemplating what if it doesn't come off.

Where next for Sven?

[bob fleming]

Roy Evans in the Infirmary!

Is he not so good or is he nicking all the copper piping again? You'd think he'd have learnt after what happened at Liverpool. Unconfirmed reports of BIG Sam, Sven, AND Alan Irvine going into the Golden Cup. Don't go up there though - there's no room.

Rovers should offer him the job...and then change their mind.

Karma.

[Oklahoma]

Mexico!

[pksrover]

Where next for Sven?

Mexico

[nicko]

Is there a market on whether Ronaldo stays or goes?

[Eddie]

Yes. Why?

[gbax]

Mexico

Poor Dunn!

If BFS gets the job he'll drop Dunn straight away for his last minute U-turn!

[EwoodGlory]

Is there a market on whether Ronaldo stays or goes?

Spill the beans

[Kai]

Just to stir things up a bit more...

Has anyone thought that Abramovic might just be nuts enough to go for Ancelotti just for his mate Shevchenko?

Stranger things have happened.

.....and now Basil Rathbone's in the Aqueduct with Faz. This is all getting too much.

If Hughes goes to Chelsea, i will be happy for him as we knew he was destined for bigger things than us as he is a great manager. I would wish him luck and clap when he returned to Ewood.

Man City - i would not be happy!

Chelsea - he comes back and takes RSC and Bentley. However, he knows we need money and as a good will gesture to JW, the club and the fans he offers £45m for the pair ( know, i am dreaming).

Anyways, interesting next few days!

It would be amusing if he didn't get either as surely the contents of his office have already been deposited outside the gates of Brockhall.

[nicko]

Spill the beans

Just wondering what the prices were...cough, splutter.

Hope he gets the clap when he returns to Ewood - Sven would probably be a certainty??
