[Archived] New Manager Part 3

[roverandout]

i wouldnt take any of them, a non-league manager? a guy that has about a much intelligence as a half eaten sandwhich? do me a favour, just when you think things cant get any worse, i said i wouldnt support mckinley and i will say the same of flitcroft, if hes appointed im done!!!

[T.J.Newton]

Or ideally Flitcroft&co. are just the'stop gap' thats being considered unti OGS is available!

[Muddboy]

Could Flitcroft and co be being lined up as the backroom team ?

Sounds more likely.

But coaching in non league is lite years away from what's required at the highest level.

[John]

Look at the way the way this search has been conducted, lacking direction, taking ages and clearly Shebby must be feeling the strain - who knows what he will do. Standard line will no doubt be that there will be a split on any appointment, especially if a weird one.

[greco]

Glen posted on here a couple of weeks ago saying "How would a Flitcroft/Short/Jansen combination sound?" expecting a positive reaction but was met by a negative one.

Don't worry - anyone who has beaten Kirkham AND Wesham won't be a yes man.

are you sure he was expecting a positive response.?

i find it hard to believe, thats why im asking. It would make absolutely no sense. One week blast the club for trying to get inexperienced managers and the next support a manager of the same ilk.

Disgusting

If true. I see that Venkys have beaten some of you down enough to accept anyone. The farce continues and is merely another chapter to be written about a football club that used to exist.

I'm surprised Shebby hasn't been out on Sunday mornings looking for a good pub team manager...

[SIMON GARNERS 194]

Lets be honest non of them have the experience needed but laughably if we take experience and ability to manage out of the equation i think flitty comes out on top

Oh jesus christ almighty!!!

[roverandout]

mullion, you talk out of your arse

[martonrover]

Hopefully the flitcroft stuff is just more over reaction(i hope), hes prob just one of a handful of managers that are going to be interviewed over the coming day.

That's what I was thinking though he'd have the edge with Desai as cheap.

[Ruaney]

No way can it be Flitcroft...

On the Glen thing though I do Demeter him suggesting it, getting shot down and then back tracking! Probably just a coincidence though!

I won't be opposed to this Flitcroft/Jansen/Short trio but it definitely stinks! When will a rumour come up that all fans will be happy with and that doesn't have a conspiracy with it?

Everyone can see we need a steady/experienced appointment apart from these clowns

[Mike E]

In all honesty i don't mind the idea of Flitcroft, short and janson (as a 3). I like the fact i could trust them and they would have the interests of the club at heart. Small club trying to punch above its weight with heart and sole. I know others won't agree, but to me this is far better than a chancer like eriksson in charge of our club... The integrety of those at our helm and them doing it for the right reasons are 80% of a club to me. I hated having no sole under Kean. It is not the ideal candidate. Better could have been appointed as i feel we could have had similar with a lot of added experience/expertise with holloway but.....

Wow-i'm going to get slaughtered for this aren't i....oh well!!!!

Strangely enough I'd like that too. It could work but it's risky. And yet I'd be fully fully behind them.

[johnny price11]

[roverandout]

they could have mickey mouse, donald duck and goofy as joint managers, still doesnt make it right, appalling decision if true, i might have to work all day saturday, told my boss i want to finish at dinner so i can go to rovers, suffice it say if flitcroft is appointed, i will be working all day

[Reedy You're A Star]

Personally, I think someone has seen him taking in a game for the club he captained, which he does regularly, added 1 and 1 and made 7 and spread the rumour. The rumour mill's then remembered GM's comments about Flitcroft / Jansen / Short, added that on to the original bs and now we have another unsubstantiated rumour that can be used to beat BRAG / GM.

@tonys61 no mate. It's nailed on apparently. He's told chorley players and everything.

[John]

Apparently he has already told the Chorley players he is leaving for us.

[Bundesburn]

Apparently Flitcroft regularly goes to Rovers with his two lads if Chorley aren't playing? Can someone substantiate this and ease my worried mind?

[Stuart]

Meanwhile, back in the real world, Black is playing a blinder at getting points on the board yet not putting himself in the frame.

Truly awful to watch (beyond the first 10 mins).

I still think there's a lot of misinformation. Floating around. There's a bit of romance about a Flitcroft, Short, Jansen management team but I don't see how a non-league manager can get the respect of modern day PL wannabes!

It's Ollie or wait for OGS for me.

[roverandout]

i will beleive it when i see it, cannot for the life of me beleive that singh would be this stupid (hang on yes i can) this will be death knell of our attendances and blackburn rovers football club as a whole, i might put a tenner on us to go down again

[Tyrone Shoelaces]

Flitcroft ! ! That would be the end for me. After 50 years I'd have to call it a day. I would have had enough of the ridicule the chicken chokers have heaped on us !

[RoverScot]

are you sure he was expecting a positive response.?

i find it hard to believe, thats why im asking. It would make absolutely no sense. One week blast the club for trying to get inexperienced managers and the next support a manager of the same ilk.

I inferred that he thought an ex players combination with some managerial experience might be popular. I believe the group has some close ties with Chorley . There was also talk that Shebby spoke to the three of them about the job weeks ago.

[Tom]

I think it absolutely reeks if true but I will support whoever gets the job in honesty

@ tonys61 no mate. It's nailed on apparently. He's told chorley players and everything.

heard the same

[roverandout]

kamy tweeting that hes heard rovers are no nearer to an appointment, so it must be bull

[perthblue02]

Apart from being at Rovers around the same time would Simon Grayson be aware of Flitcroft and Jansen's stint at Chorley ? Just trying to make sense of the Flitcroft thing and can't see any further than being ass manager , backroom staff etc

Still think the actual manager's job up for grab
