Regardles of his flamboyant personality (for a football manager) and his lack of experience at an all round larger club, I genuinely get the sense from Ainsworth that he's genuinely a very good decent, principled person and wouldn't work for the kind of people that run and own our club (unlesshe was out of work and desperate for a job!)

Well It's rude and dismissive to start messages with "Well" 👍

"interviews" will be held at Whitebirk EG in the sbarro seating section. FACT.

I assumed you meant that as sarcasm, but now I'm not sure hahaha Bowyer would probably still make an excellent assistant manager or first team coach at a championship club, It's a shame when quality coaches make the move into management and turn out to be pretty poor at it, but their egos (and prob bank managers!) wont let them step back into coaching.

Well we may soon be able to wipe Appleton's name of our List, but on the other hand... Bowyer is back on it 😳 https://www.lancs.live/sport/blackburn-rovers-bowyer-salford-city-23984633

Carlos Carvalhals transfers are generally pretty lame! https://www.transfermarkt.com/carlos-carvalhal/spielertransfers/trainer/1588 Spent a fortune on Rhodes and only managed to get a few goals out of him

Meh. More interested in whether he's one to watch out for as a footballer?

Keep your thoughts to yourself please 🤮

I just hate what football has become 🙄 Cheers though!

So Colour me stupid, but what specifically does a director of football do!?

Yup 😫

God I cant take much more of this fk8n tedium! It's almost worst than listening to a tm press conference. Whyyyyyyy cant we just get things done.

Suprised Rooney is so popular, yes he's done OK at derby, but I really wouldn't want that Sad pathetic fkin Rooney family circus conected with us! We've enough of that already.

only buy when its on sale at 6 quid though, if its at full price of a tenner or more then sack it off

YESSSSSS! get it started🍷🍺 BRFCS Wine & Beer club. somebody get on it....

For the record my 2 top pics are Farke and Bilic, I've always been a fan of Bilic, he'd probably actually be my first choice and he's available i think. But I think it would take some major convincing(and 💰) to get either to choose to join our circus

the first team squad isn't that "young" though, most of our regular starters this season have been in 23 or over and have lots of first team experience(either with us, out on loan or with past clubs)

I've now added Roy Keane for you 😄 in place of david Unsworth, seeing as he'd received no votes (the poll only allows 24 options, which is why some names never made the list and those that did make it where mostly just randomly selected from the betting sites) P.S. Roy Keane would destroy the player Moral at any club he managed or coached, as entertaining as his grouchy ways are as a pundit.... there's just no room for that at professional football clubs anymore sadly, players and staff simply wouldn't tolerate it, that's just the way it is.

Tomatos, tomatoes. It's just a bit of fun really, but you're obviously free to start another poll!

You can always change or alter your selections 👍 Yeah, personally I think somebody completely untested and inexperienced would be an unnecessary gamble whilst there is still other good proven options available, then on the other hand I wouldn't want a tired old journey man either! We need someone with a real fire in their belly still 🔥

I think it was a given Farke was going to be most peoples first choice, be interesteding to see more peoples alternatives picks too

I've just changed the poll so that you can now select multiple options.

I've tried to just keep it simple, the poll only allows 24 names, The names i've added are mostly in no particular order and have just been taken from betting odds sites, but i'll try and remove the dead wood names and replace them with new candidates as they come up and sorry in advance if I've missed any obvious ones. Cheers p.s. votes are anonymous (even to me!)

Anybody fancy starting a poll for the new manager? Bit tedious, but was thinking maybe with two seperate questions/polls 1. A poll that strictly only includes managers whose names have been mentioned by reporters in the various medias. 2. A general poll made up of any realistic potential candidates that you'd like

Chris Houghton gets a big 👎👎👎from me, nothing much against him, he's a competent manager but that's about it, he would not take the club forward at all and would be completely uninspiring imo! Also amazed to see that he's actually in his 60s! he looks bloody good for it, I still had him down as a relatively young manager in my mind for some reason
