Welcome Carlos! I’m excited to have a top manager at this level.

It doesn’t work like normal jobs - in most cases there are expressions of interest from agents (ie my client would like to be considered) and then there’s invitations to interview (ie would your client be interested in interviewing for the role of manager of Blackburn Rovers). It’s not uncommon for someone to reject an interview.

Much better keeper than Pears.

It’s a surreal statement to make if he doesn’t, so I’ll go with yes.

My record is terrible at the moment so dismiss this as unlikely… but I’ve been told they want Friedel as Sporting Director

It’s tough down here Longers! As you’ve seen, you need a very fine balance of quality, work effort and mentality or it goes south - quick!!

This is the bit I can’t get my head around - before sacking him they where in a situation where best case Dyche kept them up, worst case they went down but had the perfect manager to bring them back. They’re now in a situation where they’re competing with us to find a new manager.

Late votes coming in for Calum Wilson

I’ll be there!

Covering all bases like usual

This sounds stupid but it all depends on who impresses Pasha. I don’t think we will see the value in Farke, I think he will think he’s getting a deal with Carvahal and I think Gareth will rock the boat too much. So put me down for Carvahal OR someone that gives Suhail some razzmatazz… any ex-United legend.

There’s too many people in this world that think they can provoke people and not expect a physical response. Recently I saw a video of some 20-something in Mike Tyson’s face on a flight, screaming at him and demanding photos… then surprised when Mike Tyson punched him! Same applies here based on Silas video. Actually whilst we’re on it, the players need to take some responsibility as well. When Johnson scored for Forest against Sheff United, he made a b-line to run to the Sheff United end shushing them with his hand cupped to his ears. I tried to find some existing history between him and the Sheff Utd fans and couldn’t find any. I’m surprised that sort of a celebration is allowed - he was playing at home and 85% of the crowd where supporting him, why is he deliberately provoking the away fans? I won’t condone it but I can see why people are offended and retaliate to that sort of thing.

Yes, but it was used so infrequently we remove it. Can bring I back if there’s enough uptake?

Joe’s right, Phillips is the envy of a lot of clubs and the coaches think he’s something really special. Watch Adam Wharton this season as well, he offers genuine competition to Buckley already.

Yeah, someone tag me when Unleaded posts otherwise I’m inclined to think the unnamed cars pulling up at Brockhall are because Waggott is opening a car valet for a few extra quid.

This post was hidden by the moderators - rightly - but I think it’s that disgusting, and a prime example of the shite he’s going to have to deal with, I’m unhiding it so everyone can read what I’m banning you for. Do better.

He’s a terrible owner because he financially supports a war criminal.

No, you’re talking about Lampards time at Everton and roversfan99 is talking about Lampards time at Derby. Which is absolutely allowed, relevant and on topic. Stop winding folk up.

Would crawl over shattered glass that was on fire for him. A winner.

All I know at this stage is during pre season we should 100% have a pinned thread for Mercer’s Wine Club.

@Mercer I’ve just picked up some sea bass for tea tomorrow evening, can you recommend a suitable white wine?

Should probably be “who would you like” vs. “who will we get” !

He’s about to treble his wage and set his family up for life.

They’re announcing them “early June”. The same person that designed this seasons has designed next seasons, so expect them to be good.

Macron don’t do the design, Rovers do. It’ll be out quickly this season because the designs and sponsors are already signed off.
