Well done Leeds and Newcastle on relegating Burnley back to the championship. Welcome back to the Championship. They need massive decisions over the finances of the club and next managerial appointment plus the playing squad decisions. Yes Burnley have to pay back a loan of 65 million pounds back now. https://www.dailymail.co.uk/sport/sportsnews/article-10783901/Burnley-slapped-65MILLION-fine-relegated-2026.html

Newcastle have picked their strongest team.

Kieran Tripper or Chris Wood to score to relegate Burnley today

Man City to win the league, Spurs to finish and Burnley to go down

Well that is Alan Myers opinion. We might agree terms with a foreign head coach but have to wait for them to gain an UK work permit. Does his style of management suit the head coach role we want here and does his playing style/tactics going to fit our current players like Buckley, Dack, Dolan, Markanday, Dolan, Gallagher?

well you can put me on ignore Duncan if you don't want to read my posts instead of you making sly digs at me wanting different footballing structure at their club and something that works at alot of clubs who have been promoted in recent seasons.

You made alot of good points there JH. Yes I agree we need to appoint the right people for these roles and need to correct experience. I am in favour of appointing an experience head coach like Farke or Carvalhal. Then someone like Stuart Webber from Norwich who might be leaving Norwich shortly or Steve Hitchen, the former Spurs Director of Technical Performance and chief scout there in the sporting director role. I am hoping we can get both appointment done before the end of May/start of June. Lets wait and see Yes I know what our recruitment and scouting department contain but I know they are still scouting and analysing potential signings. We need a Sporting Director and Head coach in place to make decisions on potential signings tho we only need around 6 to 8 signings this summer.

for me, they can make a decision in India about the appointment or even rectify Pasha and Waggott decision who to appoint?

How do you know he will have no influence? and I thought you were in favour of this structure when we discuss previously? How do you know we aren't getting the head coach search right? another one of your low blow dig at me. Its almost a weekly thing. And just for the record I wouldn't be happy with either of them. Now both applying their trade in Scottish football. I just think a Sporting Director head coach structure suits the club and its works at many clubs like Norwich, Brentford, Forest, Huddersfield just to name a few people. Have QPR replace Warburton yet? Have Burnley replace Dyche with a permanent replacement? Its took Newcastle nearly 3 weeks to replace Bruce with Eddie Howe and they interview several candidates before picking him despite billions and billions of pounds ownership

The recruitment department will have identify players already and will continue to work on scouting players. It's important that Sporting Director and head coach get on and work together. No Sporting Director will force signings on the head coach but sign players that fit into head coach tactics and the type of players he wants for the position we need a signing for. Head Coach will have a say in who we target but the sporting director tends to decide the player. maybe we are waiting for a certain candidate to leave a club? This will be discuss in interviews but most people will want to bring in 2 or 3 people with them but keep 1 or 2 people who are familiar with the club and know the players like Souness did when he came in with Tony Parkes. I think we the new head coach will be allow to bring in his own number and goalkeeper coach but Johnson will stay on.

How would India go and appoint a head coach like Farke and who would do the talking? What happens if Farke and Carvalhal have applied for the head coach job to Waggott?

I know and I was dead against the club selling the land off to developers. Its didn't happen. If Rovers wanted to build a brand new bigger training ground complex like the one Leicester City owner has built with massive investment whilst keeping our investment in our cat 1 academy I would be in favour of it as long as its done properly. I want to see Rovers back in the premier league and that's why I in favour of appointment of Farke or Carvalhal who can take us to the PL again cos Mowbray couldn't do it despite 4 years of trying.

I'm sure Waggott would have been watching potential people he want to interview for the head coach and I'm sure they have been people who have put their CV's who Rovers have not thought would be interest in the job but are. I don't see the problem with interviewing few candidates and see which one fits your club model and the footballing strategy going forward. QPR are doing very similar I believe from reports

I wouldn't want to lose our Cat 1 status. The Local Birmingham media, John Percy from the Telegraph and the athletic have reported they will lose their cat 1 status die to lack of investment in the club. Birmingham City set for significant off-field setback (msn.com)

Birmingham City have lost the Cat 1 academy status down to lack of investment. Burnley have lost their cat 1 status aswell.

I don't think the head coach role is one that Ainsworth is suited to or his style is suited to our squad. I don't get the lack of belief or optimistic in not being able to attract Daniel Farke to the Rovers head coach job?

I agree there. Another name would be Callum Brittain from Barnsley

does it?

Firstly Gav, we want a head coach not a manager like previous appointment. Rovers are going for Sporting Director/head coach model and I think it will be the right way forward for our club and something that should have happen years ago imo. So Gav, we need a Sporting Director and Head Coach who can get us to the PL within 2 years. There is 2 outstanding candidates for the job which are Daniel Farke and Carlos Carvalhal IMO. Can't think of many other candidates who I think would improve us and make us promotion candidates for the next couple of the season. I agree that Ainsworth isn't the right fit for our head coach model and we need to look elsewhere. Carlos Carvalhal has said he wants to manage in England again and given that lack of PL jobs currently, his next move is a championship club with promotion ambition and aspirations which Blackburn Rovers should be and we need someone who can build on last season failed promotion chance that Mowbray couldn't maintained. He will want a budget where he can make signings that will improve our squad and take us to the next level which is promotion. We need around 6 to 8 signings plus play a playing style that suits our players. You mention the financial aspect of Rovers but given that we are likely to have a decent transfer budget but most championship clubs silly spending days are over. I ain't expecting tens on millions to spend but I think a budget of 6 to 10 million pounds mainly coming from The Brereton sale money is very realistic and should be offer to the new managerial setup to bring in those signings. Also Gav, we do have a Scouting network at the club so please correct this.

https://www.lancashiretelegraph.co.uk/sport/20156808.blackburn-rovers-manager-latest-carlos-carvalhal-comments-future/ In the search for a replacement for Tony Mowbray, Rovers are meeting with candidates having whittled down the list of applicants to a shortlist, understood to be at least five deep, and to include overseas options, with those to be held remotely. Rovers received in the region of 50 serious applications for the managerial position and have now reached a shortlist from which they will select a replacement for Mowbray who left at the end of his contract. Rovers are looking for a sporting director, as well as a manager, but the search for the latter is understood to be the more pressing at this moment in time, with both running parallel to each other.

He has said post match that he staying at Wycombe. Plus is he really a head coach type? Aren't we interviewing candidates starting this weekend?

Sunderland were the best team today and deserved to get promoted. I will look to do the Sunderland game but all depends when the game is

Well thanks for sharing your info on here. For me, Daniel Farke and Carlos Carvalhal are the 2 outstanding candidates for the head coach job here. I wouldn't be surprise if he has apply for job here, but surely we need an experience appointment for the head coach role here. This isn't the time for novice
