Hughes is quoted on the Beeb site, sounding very unenthusiastic about the job, and he says he doesn't expect a call from us.

Sounds like it's Strachan then! Or perhaps Wally Smith according to the Beeb.

no no no. You have read that wrong Brian

He says ,that for any job he just ignors the speculation and does not anticipate a call and gets on with his current work.

I'd be very happy with Graham. He has done excellent with every club he has managed. Won loads with Arsenal, made Leeds a top 6 team and won a league cup with spuds. He would have done more if he wasnt kicked out because he still loved Arsenal.

Him or Strachan I want. Not Mark Hughes(whats he done for Wales?With the players they have they should be qualifying for major champs) or Mike Newell. He's had 7 games ffs. I doubt luton will be able to stay top or even near it.

Alan Curbishley down to 12-1 from 60-1!!

would be ace if we got him

Can anyone think of a good reason why we couldn't bring back King Kenny...

as Abbey said. No money for him to spend.He's retired and I cant understand a word he says.

Looking at that list of available managers, how about Carlton Palmer?

He has good knowledge of the premiership and must have experienced many different stratergies and tactics at all of the different clubs that he has been at. H ewill also obviously be keen and available cheaply

His managerial experience at Stockport County can't damage his credentials too much?

Are you actually Charlton Palmer??

Well sorry,no Charlton. We dont want you!!

Click here to see the list of currently available managers PLUS the records of every manager in the leagues. Quite interesting...!

I must say, George Grahams record is very impressive indeed.

what about Mickey Adams?? I think it would be a good choice. Who cares if he aint a big name. He's better than the likes of Mike 'effin' Newell.

The resignation of GS doesn't bother me much when it comes to the manager position. As many have said here, i agree that he may have taken Rovers as far as he could. But the possibility of him comeing back for our best players worry me.

In my opinion, the players we are in danger of loosing are:

Friedel

Neill

Feruson

Tugay

Stead

If these players are poached come January, we are looking at a grim remainder of the season....

what rubbish!!

Why would they want Friedel. They have Given

Why would they want Neill when they have just signed Carr

Ferguson maybe

Defo not Tugay

and they will never go for Stead. They have shearer, Bellamy,Ameobi and Klivert

My first choics is Strachan as he is a good laugh but I'm not sure after that.

Good reason.

Sorry, I don't see Strachan being a good manager. He always struggled with Coventry on tight resources, buying dubious players, and eventually going down and getting the sack.

Imho, his success at Southampton was all down to the good foundations set by Glenn Hoddle. It was Hoddle who revived their fortunes, helped certain players to top form, and Strachan took the credit.

He may be a funny bloke but let's get a serious manager in.

Coventry only went down because they had to sell their star players such as Robbie Keane and Dion Dublin.

And most of saints players were all bought by Gordon Strachen. He also got the best out of Beattie and created a great partnership of Beattie and Phillips.

Didnt he sign their great goalie and players such as Michael Svenson

Also, Steve McMahon did a crap job at Blackpool. They never even challenged for promotion did they!!!

just stick to the " Blackburn reject" chant on saturday

I have a new theory.

Souness has recently criticised players over lack of passion or commitment. Then 4 games into a season he ends up at newcaslte.

The guy is a Hypocrite

Had a text this morning off flits mate and he reckons peter reid is talking to us afternoon....hope he is taking the p$$$.

houllier no way!!!!!!grrrrrrrrr

whoever we get the wingers have a new king to winge at!

guiiillet?

Must admit Peter Reid came to my mind, we wanted him a few years ago.

Terrible appointment that would be though, doesn't bear thinking about

we probably have been talking with him. Along with every manager who has put in an application.

I wonder what Barry Ferguson must be thinking. We need a manager who can get the respect of the players as they were all mostly bought by Souness. The managers available and who we could get does not inspire me. However Strachan is probably pick of the bunch.

what has any of this got to do with Barry Ferguson. He's gets payed by rovers and he's gunna have to play for any manager we get. If not, he can eff of back to scotland.

Hopefully someone with 3 syllables in their name. "Graeme Souness' Blue and White Army" was a bit too jammed together because of the extra syllable.

Ive always sang, "Souness' blue n white army"

thanks for not telling me guys and making me look like a fool

It will be interesting to know who Jim and rovers6 want???

And then if they fail, we can blame them 2??

so come on guys, who do ya want

No way Newell!!!

Im sorry, we may all love him but he has no experience. He has got all of joe kinnears players at luton not his own.

I would like John Gregory. He always finished top 6 with villa untill he and ellis fell out.

Anyway, kevin Gallagher has said it will be walter smith

Kevin Gallagher has said there are 2 men leading the race for rovers managers.

1) Gordon Strachen

and

2) Walter Smith

shearer as manager!!

what about John Gregory?

WHOLE POST DELETED!!!!

YOU KNOW THE RULES

not in a million years would souness get the newcastle job!

theres no logic in it. Why would newcastle want him. The media and even rovers fans on here have just forgotten what souness has done for this club and Im sure that fat freddy has also.

The manager will be steve Bruce. The guy is a quitter and is not loyal.He will be newcastle manager and be a flop.

its also very sick

so your saying that if matt jansen had broken his neck, you wouldnt care?

I dont see how Perez deserves to even be considered but my vote would go to henning Berg

oh well,

QUICK, we've got 2 mins to offload matty Jansen

You all just watch, he'll join Brum score 15-20 goals and thaen you will all slate souey saying its his fault we let him go
