Hopefully you're wrong on Farke, past history as shown that the owners will pay what it takes(even over the odds) to land their man once they all firmly have there targets set on him. I feel it's more a case of whether Farke is willing to come here or hang on until a higher profile job comes along.

Yep, definitely seems to be proving early suspicions right(regarding his nomadic career) that although he maybe a talented coach he is just completely out for himself. We need someone that leads by example and is willing to seriously commit and give 💯 to the club for the next few years. For all Mowbrays many faults in recent years, nobody can argue that he wasn't giving his all for the club on & off the field.

I understand the need fo ads, but yeh have to agree that lately they've beem making it very hard to navigate and interact with the forumsat times!

Bout time they just officially appointed you as a 'fan liason manager' or something along those lines, if that's something that would interest you!

Yeh. One person that has direct contact to a few people firmly in the loop at Rovers and another person that basis most of his guess work on fk8n betting sites! Pretty sure I know which one I'll take seriously.

Really hope you're right on this one🤞 loved him as a player and he seems a top bloke, but hasn't shown anything to suggest he's management material (otherwise why wouldn't Everton just give him the managers job full time)

God i hope something is finalised by friday. Can't be asses with another week of this guff. Plus we need a new manager in ASAP to start assessing our squad and preparing training before pre season starts! So we can hopefully hit the ground running early in the new season 🤞

Really. Because to me it seems like you just like to throw names youve heard mentioned out there as a fishing expedition to try and get the odd person to put a bet on which in turn moves the betting odds slightly in your preference. But you do it under the guise of being an 'itk'

I think when any business has a job vacancy they have to at least look like they're fairly advertising the position to anybody that has the criteria they need, but in reality football clubs don't play by normal business rules, but they still have to at least appear like they do.

Like most modern coaches he talks a very good game... But i had to turn off as soon as he mentioned 'going on a journey' 😣

I think young players promote themselves if they really are good enough When you get managers/coaches forcing young players into the first team just for the sake of it you end up with squads full of shite like jason lowe

Just having a quick read up on Beale (who id never heard of before) sounds like a brilliant coach, assistant manager , but so where Brian Kidd, Ray Harford, Steve Kean(😘) so it would be a very big gamle and I'm guessing a very expensive one as we'd likely have to pay avery high salary plus compensation to villa and he's on a high salary there so that wouldn't be cheap! P. S. Bloody hell theres a lot of sad he said/she said bickering on her for a sunday morning.

https://footballleagueworld.co.uk/fresh-carlos-carvalhal-update-shared-after-links-with-blackburn-rovers-job/ guessing he'll be going to whoever offers the most money then. No self respecting manager(or player) goes to vile places like uae unless money and a flash lifestyle is their only interest.

Have we really just forcibly willed ourselves into believing Carvalhal would be our saviour and is the best available man for the Job? (Especially now that talk of Farke has gone stone cold the past couple of weeks) I'm not knocking him! Id be just as excited as most to see what he could do with our squad(with a few to the first team player additions) and yes he seems a charismatic and nice positive person. But I've a few "buts" .... His journeyman career can't be ignored, most of that being at average(at best) clubs and although he's known for getting a lot out of the players at his disposal he really hasn't actually won much of anything, So maybe it seems he just doesn't have that extra bit of determination needed to win things and get teams over the line when it really matters. Also I think he talks a very good game as far as tactics and sports science goes, but talk doesn't win you games, you need intelligent players that can make his tactics happen on the pitch and I'm not sure our current squad are the brightest bunch in that respect. The fact he's allegedly also mulling over returning to the UAE I personally find dubious, because i think only mercenaries after a good payday and a cushy lifestyle go to horrid places like that in football. His transfer dealings in general seem pretty slapdash from what I can see. I recall Glen Mullan being very against the idea of Carvalhal the day his name first appeared on this board and I think many initially shared that sentiment at the time. I'd be very happy with him being appointed of course, he is something different to any manager we've had in the past in my lifetime(possibly aside from Roy Hodgson) but personally I don't see him being a massive improvement over Mowbray, Just a fresher more likeable one, which to be fair could be all we need right now. sorry for rambling, just thinking out loud (and playing devils advocate a little) 🙈

I hope we can finally atract a fairly exciting manager like Carvalhal! But flippin eck your setting yourself up for major dissapointment putting all your hope on him specifically.

I know this will get shot down, but I'm suprised Solskjaer hasn't had a mention

Needless to say that if he's heavily involved in the "Interiew" process then we can automatically rule out the top half a dozen names from the fans choice for next manager. Hopefully his duties during process are t just serve the tea & biscuits.

Most factually accurate post I've read on here today.

Errr yes there is! There's people🙄 that say shit that they've blatantly just made up to suit their own agenda, but try to make it sound like theyre "in the know"

Why? I've no opinion of him one way or the other and i think it's the first time ive seen his name pop up since his short lived Newcastle spell in the 90s😅😅 He seems to be doing very well as Malmos head coach though, although i imagine malmo dont have much in the way of competition at league level, but he's also had a good run in the champions league with them, so id say he does seem to have something about him as a relatively young manager. But reading between the lines your response suggests to me that you know something more specific about him to make him one to avoid

Well aside from Farke as obvious top choice for fans.. This poll begs to diifer from lancs bloody live! I mean seriously whT unrealistic numbskulls are genuinely voting for Shearer!

Having one of the family based at the club can only be a good thing as he came with the right attitude and a willingness to listen and learn(from the right people!)

I wouldn't be that suprised if Ian Beale got a job here.

Just came on hear to suggest that maybe Stuart Pearce could be a contender for manager as he's just left his coaching job at west ham stating he's looking at other opportunities and challenges.... Then come on hear to see talk linking him to the dof role 🤔🤔 The dof role is still abit of a mystery to me until somebody from the club states what precisely that role is going to entail!! As for Pearce 🤷‍♂️ defintely not management material but since retiring as a player he has aquired a lot of experience that could make him a big asset behind the scenes, plus having a passionate no nonsense character like pearce at the club would instantly be an improvement! P. S. It would also be great to have Brad Friedel back at the club, but the role would have to be right!

out of work managers in farke and carvalhos league will be waiting to see how everything pans out in the leagues around europe and afar.... Before drawing up there own shortlists!
