Backroom Silas Posted May 30, 2022 Backroom Share Posted May 30, 2022 1 hour ago, chaddyrovers said: So, two teams that have an average attendance of around 2,800, and the rumour is they're offering about triple in pay what we do. Absolute joke. Forget everyone being mad about Newcastle and their dirty oil money, this is surely a real issue too. Particularly for clubs at Champ level. Ridiculous that we can't compete financially with the miniscule UAE league. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Rovers150 Posted May 30, 2022 Share Posted May 30, 2022 Duncan Ferguson in advanced talks to become the next rovers manager. Will definitely take that. Will be a risk but a worthwhile one Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Proudtobeblue&white Posted May 30, 2022 Share Posted May 30, 2022 Ferguson fills me with dread, another punt, from the idiots. If proved to be the appointment, time will tell, but I'm not confident. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

With an appointment like that relegation is a real possibility. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

RoversClitheroe Posted May 30, 2022 Share Posted May 30, 2022 Let's get Farke in. Then we can stop all the chat around all the shit managers we're being linked with its getting boring now. If only we had a good CEO 3 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

chaddyrovers Posted May 30, 2022 Share Posted May 30, 2022 (edited) Blimey, what a busy afternoon and evening of different rumours and speculation around 4 different candidates on here. So who knows what is actually going on. Plenty of talking seem to be happening but no final decision who is 1st choice.. Its time we appoint the best candidate whoever that is. 1 hour ago, roversfan99 said: But you said "Carlos Carvalhal's blue and white army?" what are you going on about now? Carlos Carvalhal would be very good appointment and fits our squad, tactical aware, develop young players and knows this league.

Popular Post glen9mullan Posted May 30, 2022 Popular Post Share Posted May 30, 2022 (edited) So at last Farke meets with Swaggott, Its my understanding that this will not need a further chat with V's as their chat occurred prior, there must have been some guarantees put on the table for him to agree the second chat. So if this goes Pete Tong now, the blame firmly lies at Swaggott and Suhails door. I know all these names coming out and alledged interviews, job offers, new favourite, extended shortlist has been exhausting to read. However this is playing out exactiy as I was told, i've had to put up with the 2 or 3 posters constantly giving me grief for sticking with the same line, but i seriously heard nothing to the contrary to sway me from changing my stance. If this does indeed get over the line, i sincerely hope it puts to bed the tripe we read which is is put out from Ewood. They dont make the decisions, can sign off literally nothing, and there is another tier of advisors beyond Ewood who act as the further buffer to the Raos. All this "a new dawn is coming, we know something you dont know, which has littered these boards since before last season", none has come to fruition. The manager walked, the players were not signed, the ground is still a shit tip, the season ticket prices lack imagination, and the puppets at Ewood are on borrowed time.

Waggott has only been here for a small fraction of the last 12 years in which I dont think he has ever been involved in a managerial appointment. There is one common denominator. Waggott by all means should be replaced and indeed probably hasnt got the autonomy to make a decision anyway, until they sell up we will continue to have problems. 6 minutes ago, chaddyrovers said: Blimey, what a busy afternoon and evening of different rumours and speculation around 4 different candidates on here.

My point was that in your desperation to believe every rumour you read, you had already "welcomed" Carvalhal as Rovers manager the other day! Presumably you believe today that Unsworth, Ferguson, Carvalhal and Farke will all be appointed together. The lesson here is not to believe everything you read and that no one truly knows. It has absolutely no relevance to my point but I want Farke. Carvalhal would be second choice. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Backroom Mike E Posted May 30, 2022 Backroom Share Posted May 30, 2022 Conflating the most recent rumours together, I'm guessing: DoF: Webber/Pearce Manager: Farke Coaches: Ferguson and Unsworth. 5 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

That is where your assumption that I believe every rumour is wrong as I have told plenty of times before. I have just read(last 20 mins) the rumours now on about them on here. I have been out this afternoon at the cinema and for tea at the pub. It was very enjoyable time. Like I said in my previous post who knows what is going on with our search currently and who our first choice target is. The next few days will be interesting and excitable if we can make an appointment and announcement this week Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

RevidgeBlue Posted May 30, 2022 Share Posted May 30, 2022 7 hours ago, Exiled in Toronto said: Me neither, when you can end up with a dolloper like Howard Kendall going that route… Very good. Was waiting for someone to come up with that. If we're being technical, HK was a olayer manager, these two aren't and I'll send you a bottle of champagne if either end up being as successful as Kendall. On a serious note if we were going down the cheap untested coach route I'd rather give Damien Johnson the chance to show what he can do. To coin a cliche at least " he's one of our own" and the others probably wouldn't even be that cheap.
