Damien Duff was very outspoken during his time at Shelbourne he took on the FAI publicly for change accross all aspects of the irish league and as a league of ireland supporter it was a breath of fresh air this is why he will not be the next rovers manager. 

I would argue that, if we were to employ any other manager from the Irish league, there would be uproar. The duff clamour is pure ex player tax

according to nixon,satan is interested in the managers job,apparently always been a rovers follower but is fed up with his current job of managing underworld fc and wants a role on earth,brings with him a fantastic track record of managing players,their centre forward fred west scored 35 goals last season and goalkeeper ronnie kray was instrumental in their impressive defence, last seasons  cup triumph over inter heaven is thought to be beezlebubs final season as he favours  another challenge

preliminary talks have taken place and he`s keen on taking the position,insisting he can sort out rovers problems of leadership and ownership,a noted disaplinarian,satan has a proven track record of getting results while coaching difficult players,the only drawback in early negotiations is his lack of experience in dealing with club owners,though that issue is thought not to be a fatal blow in his appointment as he intends to fly to india and directly address the venkys

No chance Venky's would appoint such an assertive and fiery character - even if he is a close friend of the less confused brother.

Besides, the two local decision-makers wouldn't want to risk the revelation of their previous transfer dealings with Satan - the low selling price of their souls: "He offered me a hundred quid for mine, but I knocked him down to a tenner".

It's for those reasons I and others like him. I sense a steeliness about him, plus he's a proven winner. 

I am finding the other names mentioned very lame, including a not good enough for Oxford, but good enough for us, Gary Rowett.

Let's face facts, we are in serious trouble. We cannot score goals. We are shocking at home.

I predicted relegation when we ransacked the squad in the summer. Any new manager represents a big gamble and its 50 / 50 whether we stay up.

[Tricky]

 

out of all the names mentioned or on the odds list, these are probably the best win % stats ive come across for someone out of work...

 

might even be able to persuade Sonny, as well as the new captain, to stay on for another season if successful...

 

but yeah back to spoons.

He fancies money a lot, won’t pay him enough.

But on his way there he got stabbed in the back by a fat bald beastly ghoul from the darkest parts of hell even the old dev himself wouldn't venture to. This creature is only known as the Scottish rat but can't go near Blackburn himself as the silver bullet awaits him there.

However he and his friends need to retain the football clubs soul so they can continue feeding off its teat and he wants another angel of death to league 1 installing by the name of Welsh Chris.

Don't want Johnson.  He'd be a cheap appointment who'd go along with everything gestede tells him. I want someone the players will respect 

It would also be good to keep a calm head around to caretake when the next one leaves.

[Blue&WhiteArmy]

In response to the latest Elliott Jackson article, it’s worrying that they haven’t spoke to someone like Rowett but are interested in Coleman.. everything they do is just unstable and bizarre..

It’s not new information about Coleman either so hopefully they have other options they’re keeping under wraps because this is terrible.. the only two confirmed that they are interested in is Coleman and Bilic so there will obviously be more we don’t yet know about..

Relegation scrap or not, if it’s Coleman, I won’t be going back.

Not that there's any chance of it happening but Solskjaer would be a disaster imo.

Couldn't hack it at Cardiff.

Scrap? If it's Coleman we may as well accept relegation without kicking a ball.

Mickey to sign 20 year deal..will make a fine trio running the place...

 

[Tomphil2]

Everything they do fits a certain script which is written by certain people who want the best for their own clients and wallets.

Therefore they'll be continually steered away from any good with the old 'cost too much, want too much control, too much hassle, waste of money' in favour of 'this fella is cheaper and won't cause any fuss'.

If it's Coleman we'll be saying the same next year regardless of league. He's that bad.

[roversfan99]

I am hoping that if Coleman was our preferred candidate, that we would have sorted it already. Because he wouldnt be able to believe his luck. So hopefully it wont be him.

Its clearly best not to get too wound up over betting odds either. The volatility of the market sees random names shoot up based on absolutely nothing. Eustace is still 33/1.

It's just bizarre given where we are at the min considering others available with far more experience and cv for what is required right now.

[Dreams of 1995]

Somebody above mentioned Dean Smith again. What an appointment that would be

Somebody in that mould is what this club deserves. Venkys won’t go for it though - too much money and I believe he’s in work

Only reason Coleman would be getting considered is because of Adam Owen. If they hire him then they deserve relegation. Absolute fraud of a manager who's only real success came from riding the wave of Welsh team spirit and some moments of individual brilliance, usually from Gareth Bale, but also the Robson-Kanu goal in the quarter final vs Belgium.

This is before we even consider who one of his BFF's is.

[Lancaster Rover]

The betting market will be relatively small so a smallish number of bets/patterns will shorten the odds as bookies cover themselves. 

[alexanders]

The thing is: It’s impossible for the club to win. I’ve seen posters happy with an appointment, but other posters threatening to stop following the club if said manager comes. 
 

I don’t think there is any manager that would get 100% happy.

I think Suhail’s links are a lot more of a consideration than Owen’s. The agency influence never left. Waggott suppressed it, but as soon as he’s out of the picture the remnants of SEM are supplying us with coaches. Suhail is the link back to them.

There will always be some who moan with a particular appointment yes, so in that respect you are right, but the better calibre of manager you get the less and less would moan. Same at any club anywhere. You're never going to win everyone over at the appointment stage, but you do your best to minimise disappointment and maximise confidence in your process and appointment. 

So for example a Rowett - I am sure there would be a lot who would be 'meh' about him, but deep down those people would hopefully at least recognise it as a logical, sensible, 'safe' appointment, even if you don't like him or even if it doesn't get pulses racing.

But appointing someone like Coleman, or Richardson, or Ainsworth, would be a worthy way to earn themselves maximum grievance from the fanbase, because such an appointment would not be based on logic, or sense, or playing it safe, but on other factors, like who they are mates with or being 'from the academy' which are utterly irrelevant.
