No, its based on mine so we'll probably hire one today!!

It says they’ve accepted an approach from a championship club which will most likely be Blackpool. 
 

It’s a shame we couldn’t be as proactive as Blackpool…

Depressing isn't it, and I'm checking this thread far too often. If they're going to appoint a z-lister they may as well just get it over and done with.

What I'd like most is a tactically astute manager who is able to get the best out of the players we have.

This was Mowbray's biggest failing for me, going back to the league one season where we seemed to get through it by simply having better players.

This would seem to rule out Ferguson given Myers comments.

I'm not against the likes of Manning, Ainsworth and Warne just because their success comes from league one but the bigger names if they had been appointed would have indicated bigger budgets which could have been very useful.

Anyone of those three could be the new Gordon Lee, on the other hand they could be the new Jim Iley.

[arbitro]

When can we expect a six week warning from Rovers of an impending appointment?

 

[roverblue]

Hope they have the email ready to extend the season ticket deadline as wont be buying blindly, will just pick and choose games instead and maybe go for a half season ticket later down the line.

Very depressing, yeah.

Especially when a 6 week search, billed by the local rag as a "thorough search" will probably result in Woodgate getting the job.

[Gordon Gekko]

Facebook rumour that we’re moving for Nathan Jones. Doubt he would be interested after what happened at Stoke.

Uncle Jack, William Bancroft, Bill Fox, Alf Thornton and Peter White will be looking down with rightful contempt on the utter sh!t show that has become Blackburn Rovers.

The calibre of our owners, through to senior employees at the club and on to those at the local ‘rag’, has been dumbed down to levels that previously would have not been thought possible.

The bulk of our support should also take a good, long look at themselves in the mirror. The 95% that simply shrugged their shoulders when they could see the impending disaster that was about to unfurl.

You reap what you sow.

Well said Sir! Totally spot on! 👍

The likes of Waggott wouldn't know 'thorough' if it bit him in the balls. I get the impression there is a culture of idleness amongst the senior managers down there. Take season tickets as an example. It appears that very little or no research was done amongst current and lapsed ticket holders. So they come up with a same price offer with a £30 extra charge for not renewing by a certain date. Then realisation kicks in, probably based on low sales and they extend the deadline and come up with an ingenious family ticket offer which is blown out of the water by similar Championship clubs.

I used to think we were treading water with this lot. Now I believe we are drowning.

I've long thought that the Ewood based 'execs' are simply lazy.

Of course everything ultimately goes back to the owners, but that's no excuse for the likes of Waggott to not pull their tripe out.

Does anyone have any inside infromation on who is actually in the running for the job? It seems both Farke and Carvahal have gone so is it just Gareth Ainsworth left in the race?

I doubt Venky's even know.

Doubt he'd come here either, failed spectacularly at Stoke and then went back to Luton. 

Don't think he'd do the same thing again. Based on how bad he was at Stoke, not sure i'd want him here.

[eire3382]

Simple truth is that everyone knew TM was leaving weeks before the end of the season. A replacement should have been lined up then and announced once the season was done. The fact they waited to start after the end of the season shows in lack of leadership 

[unleaded]

Ainsworth has been interviewd & is last man standing ……he’s been constant throughout the month but for some reason they don’t like him …… even though he’s showing the most interest…

Maybe he needs to play hard to get ……

Stoke was a poisoned chalice at the time.

Players thought they were better than they were, egos through the roof and wouldn't listen to a nobody like Jones.

I think if he went there now he would probably be a success.

So we’ve taken 5 weeks to narrow it down to a candidate that the club don’t actually like. If you don’t laugh you’ll cry

Last man standing.

So any other candidates we did have, presumably have gone elsewhere,

As usual, the shambolic set up, dragging their heels has cost us. And now they only have 1 person left, and they don't want to appoint him.

FFS, we are a joke.

[rog of the rovers]

Ainsworth would be my choice at this point, particularly if he wants it as badly as its suggested.

His style of football doesn't bother me one bit, provided he can get results. Earned his stripes at Wycombe and is more than deserving of a chance at a higher level with 'better' players.

Get him in, then lets all move on. This managerial search has been exhausting and the season starts in 7 weeks!
