That is in fact eleven Blackburn rovers players, supplemented by a further 9. That's about all I can say

Hands up here then, I might have been cynically presuming that was his level too (as an attacker)

His best season for us was further up the field in league one I believe

Is it odd as a fully grown man with no kids I'm a bit gutted I couldn't go? He's clearly a confidence player, let's have a meet and greet palava every week with him and Pears

From best to worst outcome it would be A foreign manager who is too naive/uninformed about Venkys, capable and competent to see out this season A young ambitious manager who sees the gig for what it is, and rides it out for 12 months An experienced manager successful 5+ years ago, especially with championship experience, who for some reason will work with this lot. Either ignorant or obvious

With each turning manager of late has come a tag line - project, development then experience. All have them in turn been offered the stats quo and mediocrity as a constant. Maybe this is a big brain move. Go for someone mediocre and happy to maintain the status quo - and inadvertently get a developing project leading to a great experience?

With some of the names you're hearing you can only point to Waggot penny pinching. I mean Luis Boa Morte, he must've been googling where to get a manager for a Guinea....

King Benny Benson He has a magic hat When his keepers come for corners There definitely punching that

Do you cover your bald head with an orange hat and coat?

Luis Boa Morte would be a horrendous option. Not due to any of his managerial experience, in fact I've no idea if he's any good. He just used to wind me up

He's played 60 minutes since April. At 1 - 0 it's a gamble to bring him on. Let him keep training and see us over the line for playoffs. Premier inn wembley here we come

My thoughts on the next manager

Not much threat down the middle with that

If we get the sign off from Pune for Gerrard, Wag Wag will be kicking himself. He's just put 5k a week into a past it, legs gone midfielder in Forshaw. He could've done a 2 for 1

Don't want to risk my ITK status but the new manager is a young ambitious manager who in circa 12 months will leave due to failed promises

We'd be better giving Johnson the job till the end of the season and spending the 750k+managers wages on a promotion bonus for the players and new contracts with promotion bonuses in built

Can anyone confirm if the rumour that Gueye has post match gone to West Midlands Safari Park to win aerial duels in the giraffe enclosure is true?

Not an itk, just heard murmurings. Apparently we've had a Canadian round Brockhall recently. Not got the guys name sorry but do vaguely recognise him. Apparently he only does couple of months on a job and then moves onto the next one. The ace venturer wants to try his hand over here. Not sure if he can handle dumb and dumber down Ewood but that'll wait and see. But bruce almighty, if he is the new manager I think we will struggle.

We're in the Venkys cycle now. Will be relegated next year as the interest isn't there and contracts aren't renewing. Hope we find another Dack, Waggot eyes up his retirement and we stumble back up. If we do the interest might pique like last time and hopefully whichever daft sod is in charge has no concept of 'projects' or 'the right way of doing things' That's about as optimistic as I can muster

I was amazed to find out Gestede never had a football agent who he wasn't related to. How the fuck have we ended up with the ex player director of football without any contacts in the game!

We're going to end up with a Belgium or French manager. The Still brothers probably have their wits about them, so I'm going for Timmy Simons or Gregory Poirer

Has he been head hunted? It's fairly clear he's desperate to get out of the club. Generously, youd say it's for someone more local to him. Less generously, because we're a basket case
