G Somerset Rover

Completely agree mate.

Does feel like it'll be the same on the manager front doesn't it. A similar appointment to the DoF and it'll either be a masterstroke or disaster for me. Can't see anything in-between.

He's just chatting utter shite at this point that anyone of us on here could come up with.

Would imagine Sharpe’s taken his info from this fella with decent Norwegian football links. Translation below too: Ronny Deila has also been interviewed for the vacant job at Blackburn, Nettavisen is informed. He is also one of the candidates at the Championship club. Deila is open to leaving NYCFC and MLS, to take over a club in Europe.

I'd imagine the paycheck is what they want rather than the Rovers gig. As I say, in an ideal world I wouldn't appoint him, but like some on here, I am fearing a HSH reject coming on here.

I'm exactly the same. Far, far from my first choice, but he at least wants the job and cares about the club.

Last man standing yet we don't like him. So back to square one? I give up on our 'administration'. Actually, I gave up on it some time ago. As for Nathan Jones, I wouldn't want that t*sser anywhere near our club. Can't stand him.

Just come back from a mini holiday so not been on the forums. I was going to ask what have I missed out on, but I can see the answer is the square root of bugger all.

This guy with a large Twitter following who works within football (incidentally he broke the Mowbray had left news) appears to have followed us only since then but has already identified our shambolic approach:

Next month looks a massive push, let alone week.

Yep. I’ve really tried to hold my tongue but this is now appearing farcical at best. We knew he was leaving for a while, yet we’re ‘hoping’ to speak to candidates for a second interview four weeks in. Jesus wept. We will NEVER advance as a club under this lot.

The second one was an absolute stone waller. Check out the defenders reaction at the time - look to the ref, hands in the air, he knows he’s as guilty as sin. I’d still be as sick as a parrot if I were a Hudds fan this morning. VAR was surely brought in for the final to get those massive decisions right?!

Why on earth is Alan Myers sticking his beak in?!

I’ll be seriously underwhelmed / peeved if it’s Ferguson or Carrick. Show some ambition FFS. Pah, who am I kidding with this lot.

Courtois has been super human tonight. Immense.

We can’t even keep two of our own players who want to stay!! Our new gaffer and his team are going to have to show some creativity, that’s for sure.

I don’t know why anyone would choose Carvalhal over Farke, if Farke were keen. Huge if of course.

Seeing Tony Pulis’ name there gave me a few chills. The sort of fella that could come from those long odds to land it - especially given his agency.

Is he not off with an International team?

Beat me to it. That’s the best we can muster from a list of 60 odd?! Jesus wept if true.

Fabulous news. Waggott, Lowe and Benson to follow please.

Absolutely zero point in discussing players until we have a Manager on board. We can't even look to tie Lenihan or Nyambe down until he's in situ. Any links at this stage, unless to youth players, just are not accurate.

Really?! He assists nearly as many as he scores. He’s the definition of current elite level if you ask me and will go onto be recognised as the best player in the world once a couple of the old guard wind down. The only thing that will stop him from being one of the real greats is if he gets a massive injury in the next few years which takes away his explosive pace.

Waggott and Suhail strike me as the chuckle brothers, but the above would surely be far worse as they’d appoint some HSH no mark.

I know 5 years is a long time but the ‘open’ updates (‘next stage in the process moving ahead’ etc) from Bayes and Sharpe would suggest that this hire - for now - is being completely run out of Ewood by Waggot, and probably Suhail. Just seems odd to what we’ve seen in the past with this lot and previous manager hunts being cloak and dagger. That being said after this arduous process it’ll probably end up being some HSH no mark who comes out of nowhere that our owners end up putting in the hot seat.
