Mike E

Yes. And many others. On top of his contributions to this place. As much as I disagree with him about many things, I find his determination to know everything about Rovers remarkable

You'd be surprised. I usually feel clued up on these things but I didn't know he was a Rover until after he was linked. I wanted him before that because his record at Wycombe is extraordinary and his passion in press conferences made me like him even more. He's everything Mowbray isn't and, imo, is deserving of a shot in this league regardless of his fandom.

He's a PL version of Mowbray. That's a big step up in quality in itself. Not saying I want him, just don't think it's anywhere near as bad as others think.

That's why I call it uninspiring, but he's certainly a better calibre of manager than we've had previously.

I honestly don't understand why. Yeah, a bit uninspiring, but he's overwhelmingly a Premier League manager.

Villas-Boas anyone?

I've just been sick in my mouth.

You mean THE Open.

Farke's record in this league is twice as good over about 1/3 the time.

Conflating the most recent rumours together, I'm guessing: DoF: Webber/Pearce Manager: Farke Coaches: Ferguson and Unsworth.

Of 'Two Andy Gorams' fame? That is a shame 😞

What's your take on Walker, @Sparks Rover? Opinion seems to be that he's a step above Dolan talent-wise, and I rate Dolan.

Wrong show dude...

You heard it here first! Bielsa as manager, Lasarte as DoF, they're bringing Vidal and Sanchez to Ewood, and Brereton's signed a new 5 year deal. #RakingInThePesos

For perspective on what was achieved (for those of us too young to remember): Imagine if Cooper and Forest win the PL next season, and win the CL the year after that. That's what Brian Clough did.

You are what you eat.

I've never been so conflicted in my life! I can't bet on a glen prediction if Mercer is encouraging me!

Big Dunc Vs Vincent Kompany. Sparks will fly!

For those who don't like this process (including myself) there is at least the caveat that it's the closest to a normal recruitment process we've known under this lot. I'm a bit annoyed we haven't headhunted but having a proper interview process of several proper candidates (rather than going down HSH's lists) is a marked improvement.

Agreed, and people really should think twice about using a phrase used to mock Liverpool fans and their dead relatives specifically over Hillsborough (always the victims) for 30 years. There's plenty enough to criticise about last night without resorting to that.

So he doesn't make the big decisions then. Cheers.

One day we'll learn not to mindlessly blame Liverpool fans because the stench of 30 year old lies has hung around. https://www.sportbible.com/football/explanation-shows-why-chaos-wasnt-liverpool-fans-fault-20220529?source=facebook

Strange that. Made pretty clear at meetings I've had that Pasha is the conduit through which Venkys' approval is granted. If Pasha doesn't like an idea, it doesn't happen. If Pasha has capacity to overrule the CEO, I'd suggest very much DOES make the big decisions.

It is titbits. Tidbits is an Americanism because they think the syllable 'tit' is intrinsically rude.

Oh I didn't mean to. I tried to emphasise BRITISH because Europeans often treat Scottish and Welsh fans as if they are English because of historic England fan behaviour. But as Mattyblue says, Scots and Welsh tend to behave.
