Strachan sounds good but could Rovers afford his seaweed and banana demands?

Put Strachan on as tannoy man and you've got the dream ticket!

All this waiting is unbearable.

Why shouldn't he be in Spain. I am and I'll be in t'Golden Cup at 15.00 tomorrow!

Very wise 1864. Rovers board have long been good at deafening silences, smokescreens and surprises when the need has arisen. We have not become a small town club overnight, we are experienced at it. I don't , however, believe there is any future in 'ruling by committee' if that's how the trustees govern. Don't get despondent yet and keep believing.

I understand that he's also had spells as mine host at The Kettledrum (Burnley) and The Calf's Head (Worston nr Clitheroe). Can't comment on his performance at either of these though.

Good answer 1864

Thats harsh ......Burnley is ( no offence meant ) a right hovel. Just to verify your credentials, can you name the pub near the main stand at Selhurst Park (hon. patron G. Courtney)?. Do you mean the Clifton arms on the corner , i don't know who the landlord is because i normally drink in the Cherries outside Norwood Junction train station or the Alliance just up the road a bit . Why do you ask anyway , do you i'm an agent provocteur (sp) Not 'honourable' patron of the pub, 'honorary' patron of CPFC for services to promotion. (ex ref) BTW Correct answer - you may continue.........

Thank god for that! John Williams was walking in the other day just when the woman from Leavers pie shop came along - mind you her cv is probably as good as Dowie's.

Hang on, that's going a bit far!

There's also Bob Crompton, he's not posted since March 6 but there's no need to alienate Bob's Alan. Capt - Mines one of those 1.5 pint thingy's that takes 1 hour 10 minutes to pour - your round half time vs Portsmouth. Thanks. Does anyone think that we're going to hear anything now until Monday at the earliest with regards to the new manager? Doubt it - no home match to unveil the new man. any press at Ewood would distract Parkes & the team in the NE. Monday am would be next soonest.

Altogether now....... " and the Bob and the Bobf come bob bob bobbin along.... shoot the ba####ds, shoot the ba####ds, shoot the ba####ds" Sorry Bobs x2 - couldn't resist Anyway, what can you get fer two Bobs these days?

Eleven actually - that's enough with one left over!

If he's any sense at all he'll be running up and down sand dunes somewhere in a desperate attempt to get fully fit before the new man takes over. No one seems to want to match his wages so he must realise that he needs to buckle down here. Alternatively he might be found in the W H Smiths looking for a leaving card for Souey. Don't think he's that bright. Anyway, the last Rovers player seen alone on sand dunes was Andy Crawford - and he disappeared without trace!

Enough of these rumours. There has been NO appointment yet. When I've received simultaneous texts from: Will Addy My Mum and confirmed with Tony Parkes in the launderette, I'll tell you all.........

Doh! You've got to offer more than 10 bob!

Anybody but Robson - judging by the howlers attributed to him in last Fri's LET, he's well past senile.

Here´s a tale for all you Hughes fans. Attending a medical in his playing days, he was asked ´When did you break your ankle Mark?'. Reply 'I didn't know it had been broken'. Softly spoken but 'ard as nails!

I think he only ever missed for hairdressing appointments!

Houllier overspends on 2nd/3rd rate Africans.

Don't believe him. Money destroyed any remaining morals or loyalty 10 years ago.

We're not having any garlic eating surrender monkeys at Ewood, so that's the end of that.

Where are they bloody well putting all these ex-Rovers staff the've been collecting for the last 10 years?

Looking for an umbrella ???
