Disappointing news if true re Farke but realistically only what you'd expect. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Champ manager: Cocu? League one: no idea, Manning apparently staying at MK Dons and it would require compensation, which Venkys don't do. Jimmy Floyd? A coach: Ferguson? Just another cheap disaster waiting to happen. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
JHRover Posted May 25, 2022 Share Posted May 25, 2022 If that's all true then we'd better hope Carvalhal takes it. If Farke's not a goer and the other 3 options include a League One manager, coach (Johnson or Ferguson presumably) and an unemployed Championship manager then Carvalhal is a no brainer. 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

RoversClitheroe Posted May 25, 2022 Share Posted May 25, 2022 If Rooney is an option and Farke has turned us down I'd bite your hand off, think with Derby granted they got relegated did a fantastic job. 3 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

J*B Posted May 25, 2022 Share Posted May 25, 2022 3 minutes ago, rigger said: That would seem a strange thing for Farke to do. To get the offer of an interview, he would have had to apply for the job in the first place. Why would you do that, if you were going to turn down the interview ? It doesn’t work like normal jobs - in most cases there are expressions of interest from agents (ie my client would like to be considered) and then there’s invitations to interview (ie would your client be interested in interviewing for the role of manager of Blackburn Rovers). It’s not uncommon for someone to reject an interview. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I'm currently working away, but you have good record, so no reason to doubt what you say. My only reservation would be if Waggott is going which is strongly doing the rounds today, its strange he'd be in a position to offer the role? I'd also be dubious Farke turned down an interview after previously indicating to venkys advisors he'd be open to the discussion. Either way this news is most disappointing, roll on my holidays next week 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I know you can’t read too much into betting patterns, but Ferguson’s name has been bubbling around for a good while. I reckon there will be one or two real horror names in there.
