Not a time to joke about managerial appointments. They will probably get Carlos Carvalhal and we will choose Ian Holloway as the "outstanding candidate".

There's always one

Rectify.... good word for it. Cheston (poor lamb) had his decision to appoint Warnock rectified.

Anyhow, today is a good day. Either Burnley or Leeds are getting relegated and there is absolutely nothing Venkys can do to fuck it up.

Yep. Fans definition for criteria of "outstanding candidate" poles apart from what they are actually looking for. Essential - cheap and humble Desireable - good coach

It is merely the next round of managed decline. Give it a year and it will all feel like our normal level. Accepted and celebrated by some.

It's all a right load of bollocks anyway. We will only get fixed after they switch off the machine & we have been through administraton but they seem intent on keeping us in a perpetual coma for their amusement. Venkys Out !

I'm sure you mean "I would hope"

Sharpe confirmed last week it was just the standard maintenance, starting earlier than originally planned due to the cancellation of summerfest. Woooooo.

If they know who Ainsworth is bud. My money is they don't

They held several discussions with Waggott ("the club" puppet). Their arranged meeting with Balaji and Jagdesh was cancelled and no contact has been recipricated since.

Yep. And spare a thought for those dickhead Rovers fans who went on the pitch after Oxford (and during). It was truely embarraasing watching our own lowlife.

Venus as sporting director Dunny as head coach. Nobody should be surprised if this becomes reality. Dust off Tony's pre-prepared A-F recruitment list and away we go.

Sharpe confirms. No shortlist No interviews No timescale. But we all knew that already.

Kaminski Brown Ayala (C) Wharton Pickering Travis Dack Buckley Hedges Gally Dolan Predicting a core 15 man squad next season. A settled side. Squad made up by the U23s. Vale, Mcbride, etc to be in and around the team. 2 incomings. 1x midfielder. 1 x centre half. No loans in or out.

Outgoing. (Gone or out of contract). Van Hecke Khadra Poveda Giles Zeefuik Rothwell Johnson Nyambe Lenihan Carter Magloire Butterworth Davenport Chapman Brereton - will be sold Greek Keeper Manager Head of recruitment About 6 other backroom staff CEO (won't be long now) Incoming - 0 Expect another 5 weeks before anything starts to happen. Holidays come first. We clearly had a very bloated squad. No wonder we have no money.

Zeefuiked off. He wasn't much use and a crock but another number down.

So we aren't going to bring new players in until we have a new manager in place. As we also have no head of recruitment (which will be even lower priority than a manager) then nobody will be looking at players. July is going to be a scramble in the bargain basement or just promote more youngsters. It is going to be yet another Venky shitshow.

So we basically haven't started the recruitment process yet. No interviews. No shortlist. Can't personally see any announcement until after 30th June unless it relates to Waggott leaving. All these managers will have got new clubs and we will choose from whoever is left so it's much cheaper.

Please allow me to educate you about Suhail. He was involved in the club before Venkys took over and has been ever since. He was the one who brokered the sale whilst employed by Kentaro as a "fixer". Before that he was arranging matches in South America to showcase and move on talent to Europe. 3rd party ownership, etc. He became a Rovers employee only recently after fans reported him and the club to HMRC and it all started to become a bit warm. He is paid by Rovers for the "consultancy" work he does at the club but is also paid by others for work he does for them. Confirmed by Waggott at one of the consultation meetings. You can speculate who the others are if you wish. Fact is he the most senior decision maker at Ewood and the only constant since our club was turned to shit.

You have changed horse here Chris. A week ago, you were certain that there was a shortlist of 6 already interviewed. You were adamant that Farke had the job due to credible sources of Nixon, Mullan and someone else. It has since been proven to be nonsense. At least you have now regained your senses. Nobody knows what the loons will do or when they will do it.

The club say the recruitment process for appointing a new manager will now begin. As in just now.. soon... No 6 man short list as we all knew.

I completely agree with you.

Hi Steve, I have Tony's new contract... where is he ?

Far more likely to be 6 surprises. Nice if you like surprises. Asda Christmas Cracker quality surprises.
