well I have just asked Myers the question has he been pushing Duncan Ferguson to become our new head coach, here is his response

what to get annoyed at? why not get him a chance and be open mind on the appointment? And judge him on wins, where we are in the league and his tactical decisions who says he is a cheap option? It was Paul Senior

I used several different posters comments/sources to back my point up. You are obsess with only one person Local Merseyside reporter is reported different. Not at all, If he is the best choice out of the 8 people we have interested then appoint him. All depends who these people are pushing him to Waggott and Pasha Why not be open mind?. It could be poor appointment or it could be good appointment. Farke hasn't achieved anything before he was appoint Norwich head coach and look at what he delivered. Maybe Ferguson will the same or not. Only time will tell. Not interested in other clubs pitch work. I'm bothered about Rovers pitch and it being as good as possible for the new season. You might not be interest in the new season kits but some of us are and when they are on sale. Still part of the Rovers club

Firstly, I fully understand and know how betting and odds works. Well you have seen posted from @Bbrovers2288, @Mercer on here plus I have seen a number of people posted he has been interviewed as I posted earlier today. On his appointment or most appointment I will have open mind on them and lets see what they do in the Rovers dugout. I have no idea what type of formation, style of play or what his coaching is like. well if you look at what 1864 has posted about it seems like they has been major investment in the pitch and lighting. I would say targeting all areas of the community is very good and needs to be continue and investing in. Lets see what the ST sales are for the coming season and I will comment on then

Yes we have seen progress on the pitch but last season Mowbray's stubborn and lack of willingness to adapt and change his tactics and formation cost us our playoff place. Plus he has more backing from the owners on signings, time and patience to achieved this in one of the his 4 years in charge of us since our league 1 promotion. Also we were 2nd when the January transfer closed and we still didn't make the playoffs. As you have posted this week, Rovers are installing a new weaved pitch, proper communication from the club on when the coming season kits will be available for sale. Then over the season we seen the good work the Rovers community trust have done in bringing young children and parents to games who normally wouldn't come.

I have stated my view on this and I can't be anymore clearly than I have been. Beale is staying at Villa now. Wrong, I used Mercer posts plus a number of other people posts on here and other sites to posted about Ferguson. well clearly people are betting on him for a reason. Maybe its what people read on forums or social media but maybe its someone with inside info from the club. I don't know if it will be terrible appointment or not but I am willing to have an open mind on it. I think there is worst appointment out there we could make. He could be the next Mark Hughes but equalling he could be then next Brian Kidd.

Thanks the report here

I agree that any new appointment is a risk. What was Kompany's style of play and formation there? It will be interesting to see who they appoint to this position. I think you might look towards the Belgium and Dutch market under him.

not seen the game at all apart from some of final minutes of the game. was it a good game? Forest deserved to win?

Yes I think we should relax as we have to 2 weeks before the players. So I hope and think Rovers will make an appointment this week for head coach position here. That would give the head coach a week or so to sort out pre season training, sort the coaching staff out. Then we sort out the Sporting Director role we need plenty of new players? do we? we need about 6 new players. That isn't alot. Well clearly Rovers wanted to speak to him just like QPR did but after talks he wants to stay at Villa which is his won decision. why does that matter? Waggott and Rovers have decided to interview several different candidates and will appoint the person who fits the best man for the head coach job here. Another championship club in QPR are doing the same. Yes Watford have made a quick appointment and didn't do it in the proper correct process.

Very good grand prix. Shame that Russell, Norris and Hamilton couldn't finish higher up tbh. But good win for Perez

I'm not sure Kompany will be such a push over as you suggest but I am sure he will use his Manchester City links to sign 2 or 3 loan players. Maybe even a coach or two from their academy/under 23's. On Cornet and Weghorst signings, I have seen reports that suggested their owners/new scouting model was behind the signings.

I would like to see players Jack Vale, Hayden Carter and Jake Garrett be part of our squad for the coming season. Yes we need around 6 signings this summer to our Squad I think Rovers and Waggott have done it right by interviewing several different candidates and hopefully this week we can select the right candidate now. It was several different people within all fairness all fair points

Well I agree with you that we want promotion also but keep bringing through more and more academy players each season is also what Rovers will continue to do

Bringing through our youth is one of the club key points. You can keep choosing to ignore it but it is what our club does. I don't know how you can comment whether Ferguson is an excellent coach or not. I don't know myself.

This will be good exciting grand prix

Firstly, take a step here, Its Mercer's comments about Duncan Ferguson plus the comments from @Bbrovers2288in several posts about Duncan Ferguson here ❚❚ Searched for 'Ferguson ' in All Content (brfcs.com) plus also when I was talking to Alan Myers a couple of weeks he answered any questions but the Duncan Ferguson. Also add to that other people posted on other media sites and platforms. Its clear he has been interviewed at very least. @Buttytake a close look at why I think Mercer might be correct On Duncan Ferguson and Michael Beale, Yes they are novice in terms of being head coaches/managers but they have been coaches for a number of years. Duncan Ferguson has worked under David Moyes, Carlo Ancelotti and Rafa Benitez so will have gain alot of information and knowledge from them. Michael Beale has worked at Liverpool and Chelsea under Jurgen Klopp and Carlo Ancelotti while he was academy coach at either club plus he has been Steven Gerrard's assistant at 2 football clubs. Steven Gerrard's comments are endorsing of his ability as a coach in the Lancs Live article I think it's a huge risk to appoint a first time head coach like Michael Beale or Duncan Ferguson personally. I'm not against it totally given their coaching background but I would still have concerns over it. I still think Carlo Carvalhal would be the right appointment given his background and experience. @Paul ManiI agree that Rovers are conducting proper interview process and speaking to potential candidates making sure we get the right appointment that fits the club footballing strategy going forward.

. The players returned I believe around 13th June so that's 2 weeks to make the head coach appointment and allow him to bring in staff, sort out pre season training, a couple more pre season fixtures, etc. That why I think we will make an appointment this week of the head coach We need the appointment of the sporting director to be made shortly after the head coach appointment. @Bbrovers2288has said Ferguson has been interviewed

Carlos Carvalhal has brough through 17 young players into his Braga during his 2 seasons that. @unleaded posted on this with more info. Phillip Cocu at Derby brought through Max Bird, Jason Knight, Lee Buchanan and Louis Sibley into the first team and now most of key players at Derby under Wayne Rooney there Duncan Ferguson worked at Everton Academy before bring appointing on to the first team staff there Michael Beale has years at Liverpool academy and has been Steven Gerrard's coaching staff at Liverpool under 18's, Rangers and now Aston Villa. Liam Manning has experience of working at Ipswich, West Ham and New York City youth teams before he got a job at Lommel in the second division in Belgium then he was appointment MK Dons head coach after Russell Martin left there

is he doing that to trying to force Rovers to offer him the job?

Aren't Pasha and Waggott close and get on, so you would think both are interviewing these candidates. I don't mind us interviewing a number of candidates at all and actually think its gives you a proper choice. Now we need to identify a number 1 choice or 2 or 3 candidates for second interviews before making a recommendation/appointment who to appoint this week. For me, this appointment need to made before the weekend. Which then allow the new head coach a week or so to bring in staff and organised the pre season training and maybe 1 or 2 more pre season friendlies

TBH Gav, I don't have a much of interested in the champions league or the other UEFA club competitions these days. I might have missed some great games but I don't missed them at all
