Which utterly brilliant manager will we be delighted to welcome next?

I was in bed then, but fair enough 🙂 The point remains the same, ie there must have been some reason for the shortening price.

Let us all know if any of the half dozen journos you’ve asked on Twitter if we’ve approached Rotherham get back to you.

Agreed. 

None of the 5 have got back to me so that would say they don't know

Warne, like Ainsworth has earned a chance. Why not with us? I think he’s a good manager 👍🏼

On reflection I wouldn't be either thrilled or dismayed with Warne before a ball is kicked. I'd have to give him a chance and see how he went on.

My concerns would be his previous record at Championship level (albeit at Rotherham) and whether he is a big enough draw to entice Lenihan and Nyambe to sign. 

On the flip side, at least he isn't Mowbray and if he appears to treat the role of manager of Blackburn Rovers as a little more of a privilege and a little less of a chore like Mowbray used to do he'll have my backing until proven otherwise.

I wonder if he'll commute from Rotherham and complain about missing his family.

They've only just caught up with Ancelotti endorsing Ferguson and that happened round about the same time as the Great Fire of London.

When the new manager is announced, I (and probably a lot of you) will be completely underwhelmed.

Sharpe is a very poor journalist. He regurgitates non news story’s and proberly gets his ITK from this site. Much preferred the Andy Cryer days, least he had balls.

Isn't that always the case with this clueless bunch?

Better than getting an unemployed manager off the scrapheap though?

(Like Mowbray)

Like Shaun Dyche you mean? An unemployed manager on the scrap heap you were championing Rev?

Billionaire owners don’t forget, they have to get one right you said? 

Now you seem happy with Rotherham’s manager?

Has the penny dropped.

It’s ok, his family will be able to see the ball when the defenders hoof it to the attackers.

That is what has been reported by 3 different journalists. So no other names? So if the strict parameters wasn't what has been promote then who would you go for?

Christiansen averaged 1.51 points per game at Leeds, plus he has good/decent record at 2 other European clubs. Plus international experience. Leeds record 35 games, 15 won, 6 draw and 14 lose. 

 

I'm answered that question in my post above. 

Not sure, Dyche would be ideal but under Venkys is obviously unrealistic as it seemed unfortunately that Wagner and Carvalhal were.

Failing that, I would take Wagner, Jokanovic, Bilic but ultimately I dont have the knowledge of other leagues especially abroad but it might take a bit of creativity. Some of the names you mentioned are appalling, much worse than Mowbray. We shouldnt be only considering out of contract managers and Championship experience is meaningless, Coyle has loads more than Pep, only matters if it leads to success and in your list it hasnt.

You didnt say if you would take any/all of them, you are speaking in riddles again and avoiding questions but I presume you think that all would be upgrades.

I’m going for Mark Robins. Follow Tony from Coventry to Blackburn. Certain agents client. 

Wouldn't mind Robins but not sure i'd be paying big compen for him. Also it's nailed on the usual influencers remain if we went down that route.

I knew nothing about him 48 hours ago but after reading and listening to Warne and looking at some articles on him, I’d be happy. 

[OldEwoodBlue]

If we really are chasing pound shop 3rd Division managers,

Please can nobody start talking crap about promotion.

Please can we not waste anymore time talking to these 4 walls about poor attendances and awful ST sales. They will have answered this question emphatically with the quality of their appointment.

Please can we not discuss and argue endlessly, if the new man is better or worse than Mowbray or Coyle or Bowyer. Mowbray was utter dog shit. We deserve and expect much better.

Listening to? I dont get this fascination with what a manager says, usually at points of high emotion.

I’ve listened to Mowbray often, in my opinion, talk absolute shite which has infuriated me to the point I couldn’t enjoy watching Rovers. It’s quite nice to hear someone talk sense about football and respectfully about their club.
