Rovers next manager

[Tom]

So we need a new man (or woman) pick up the reins until next February

Who would you want?

Who do you expect?

For me I’d take someone like Rowett, not exciting but could be a steady pair of hands, failing that a fire and brimstone type manager on a short term deal.

I said in the other thread and I’ll stick with it, I expect Darren Moore; not yet linked but cheap and available. Could see a return for Sparky as a potential one to watch as well

[TheKitGuy]

Ideal world, Rowett. 

But we all know it'll be Judan Ali or someone of that ilk.

Sparky would be interesting. Absolutely fantastic for us bur for nobody else

But he left  frustrated and I can't see him lining up with Venkys again.

I’d take rowett at this stage

an outside the box choice but risky- Jens berthal askou

hard no to any former Blackburn manager - that includes jdt and Mowbray. 
 

who I think we will get- Johnson until the end of the season 

[John]

If the rumours are true, no one’s lined up and we haven’t got a clue what to do.
 

Would anyone normal - or not completely desperate - actually consider working for Suhail/Gestede?

[M_B]

If there's nobody already lined up, I'd see how Johnson does over the next couple of games, I wouldn't give it him for the rest of the season outright, but I'd be tempted to assess how he does as we go along.

He will definitely have the goodwill of all the fan base right from the off. 

[Mercer]

Watch Dave Challinor at 20/1 !

JDT/Rowett/Bilic

Who do I expect? Really no idea. Wouldn't be completely averse to Hughes but arguably his time has gone.

What’s Gerrade up to ?

That really would suggest prep for the lower leagues.

If Carlsberg did appointments........

King Kenny and Gerrard until the end of the season, Gerrard thereafter.

[Gav]

It doesn’t matter who comes in, the club is setup to fail.

Gestede and his gimp are now back on easy street, that grinds my gears.

VENKYS OUT - NOTHING ELSE MATTERS

Really is silly season. Dalglish???????

He seems like he barely knows where he is when you hear him talk these days

[simongarnerisgod]

few mentions for darren moore,we are obviously planning for league one,tbh,he seems like a decent chap and i would`nt like him to have to deal with the **** that rovers managers always have to endure

Is that another Merce hot tip or pure guesswork?

I know nothing whatsoever about him but tuned into a bit of a Stockport lunchtime game recently and he was showing a lot of passion on the touchline. (They beat Huddersfield 1-0 with a goal deep into injury time)

Would feel very underwhelming though.

[JHRover]

Rowett would have to be number 1 choice based on his availability, lack of compensation and track record in this position.

A no brainer, which means the no brainers in the boardroom won't even speak to him.

If I were running the search I'd be definitely speaking to Dave Challinor at Stockport, but suspect this regime would struggle to afford him such is our standing these days and won't have any interest in such people. Nigel Clough and Michael Skubala another two from different backgrounds but have both done mightily impressive work with their clubs in League One. Again as with players we appear to have no interest in such areas these days. 

Such options would have one eye on relegation, rather than just a 5 month placement and review. 

I wouldn't be opposed to Bilic until the summer but have reservations about his recent record. I doubt we could afford him or handle his personality.

I suspect if it is left to Rudy it is going to be a foreign coach or an agency linked option who we've barely heard of.

[DE.]

With Waggott presiding over things, you could expect a somewhat reasonable appointment. 

With the current clown squad in charge, you can only expect a joke of an appointment. What manager with any self-respect would accept being below Rudy Gestede in the pecking order?

I know we're the pits but you're expecting Darren Moore, what on earth makes you think that?

Really?

People have said the same about Allardyce but he's sounded Ok when I've heard him.

(Wasn't saying it was a realistic suggestion btw)

[Tricky]

Really dont get this Rowett love, aim higher lads.

Is he the long throw guy? Could teach Miller a thing or two!

Absolutely nothing just the fact he’s cheap, available and probably a 20/1 shot, worked here very briefly before.

Sparky never worked under the incompetent w***ers..

[J*B]

I suspect Suhail will opt for fan manipulation given the pressure he’s under. So I’ll go someone who’ll get our “back the boys” fans excited based on nostalgia alone, is toward the end of their career so has lower aspirations, but still sees this basket case of a club as a step up from their current position.

Mark Hughes?

Yet you had no problem with Ismael.

What was it- "We shouldnt call for either the removal of the owners or Head Coach because it's completely beyond our control"

Or words to that effect.
