[Archived] Next Rovers Manager

[Waggy76]

I think it may depend which division we are in next season ...

Think this game today may have done for Bowyer but if we go down , he maybe the only one who wants it ?

Coco the @#/? clown could do the job, give it to him.

[roverandout]

i hope this performance finally puts an end to any chance of bowyer getting the job, today shows we need someone experienced to get this rabble sorted out

I'm sure Venky's will realize this.

[roverandout]

im sure they won't, or are you being sarcastic?

[Mercer]

gary Megson is there aswell.

plus Taylor and Sherwood.

wait for the rumours to start.

isnt Taylor manager for England u20's for summmer and Sherwood his number 2 for the tournment?

Chaddy - posted on here the Megson links at the time Appy went. I think either Megson or Coyley were seen as 'Fireman Sam' !

[Amo]

im sure they won't, or are you being sarcastic?

No, I really mean it. I think our owners will see the light and hire the best possible man for the job.

[roverandout]

ok no worries, wish i could share your faith

[RevidgeBlue]

Opinions on Bowyer seem to fluctuate wildly with each result. Win a game and he's the Messiah. Lose a game and people are burning their bras and vowing never to return to Ewood whilst he's in charge.

I think the truth is somewhere in between. Appleton left us in such a state I think Bowyer will have done a very decent job if he keeps us up. On the other hand the performances in the three away games during Bowyers second stint in charge perhaps confirm the suspicion he might be a bit too close to the players to eke the necessary level of performance out of them week in week out.

Got to admit I hoped he might be the man after his sensational first spell in charge. I'd still sooner have him than the likes of McDonald/Peter Taylor/Judan Ali/Megson etc etc.

I've thought for a couple of weeks we should treat him like our Ricky Sbragia. If we stay up it will largely down to him putting a few results together when nobody else seemed capable, and we should be as grateful as is possible without offering him the top job full time.

[Tom]

I've said all along I'd rather he didn't get it full time

Its not a slight on him just I feel this bunch of players need an old head who will put a bit of fear into them, bowyer has to be retained and rewarded though if we stay up

[riverkiller]

Wouldn't be too unhappy with Simon Grayson. Seems to know whats what at this level.

I reckon we will end up with someone like McClaren or Sven or Taylor if we stay up.

[Proudtobeblue&white]

GB is not our future, other than if we drop. Then we are in major trouble. As many have said, the men that mattered ballsed it up big style when Coco walked - seasoned tried & tested..... Others have shown it works......experimenting doesn't. Venkys, are the root cause of all our problems.

[Mercer]

Wouldn't touch any of those 3.

Don't be surprised if next manager comes from a current Championship club !

[roverandout]

Leave it out Merce, you've already insinuated Coyle is nailed on.

I'll tell you who it won't be, it won't be anyone who's any good.

[roverandout]

one man who has done a great job is chris powell at charlton, got them promoted and got them into the top half of the championship, intelligent guy as well, has something like 9 gcse's, obviously not the experienced manager we need

[chaddyrovers]

would Tony Mowbray come to Rovers???

experience n has PL experience n promotion experience

I've got 10 gcses and 3 alevels. Shall I apply?

[old darwen blue]

Ooh get you.

I have as well, can I apply?

[Salgado Is A Hero]

a certain Boro manager???

I'm usually in the "well who are we gonna get that's better" camp but I'd happily get on the blower to Eric Black, Sven, Coyle, McLeish or anyone half-decent if we are seriously considering Mowbray. Joke manager, look at his team now, that's a playoff squad at least and now they'll be lucky to finish top half. F**k that, don't rate him in the slightest.

Bowyer's Job to lose - http://www.goal.com/en-india/news/137/england/2013/04/21/3919135/bowyer-has-got-the-job-and-it-is-for-him-to-lose-it

[gumboots]

I know he's an idiot but what's that about? Managers wanted to play a style of football for which the team was not built / people who were too conventional in their thinking/you have to think out of the box and kep plugging away at your beliefs. Most successful clubs buy players the manager at the start of the season thinks will fit to the system he wants to play. They then think conventionally putting those players into the system with cover in each position and they think conventionally in that they think that winning and drawing lots more than you lose is how to succeed. They are not daft enough to keep plugging away at what they believe when that is bringing failure and they do not employ know nothing idiots and keep them employed unlike Rovers.
