Agreed, why annoy all staff and players still at the club who thought highly of TM. Just being professional -

Exactly, he has seen the list and has some players in mind. We are really light in multiple positions and bodies are needed. Then later in the window they can assess what we have and tweak. Fist things first field a team -

Clearly GB turned up, saw the shitshow of a manager search and said children please leave this to the adult in the room. His thought process for picking JDT is precise and logical. This all feels weird. I am starting to think a change is a foot and maybe a brighter future. It’s the hope that kills though -

The first time since Mark H was appointed that I feel we have a potentially exciting manager. You can point to our new set up and call it inexperienced. However we have actually seen something very un venky happen. These appointments actually makes some sense. A dof who can spot good young players and a manager who is happy to leave player signing to a dof. Plus he has been allowed bring in his men. I would go further and say he was the choice of the dof which is really joined up thinking. Frightening stuff really -
Now our captain has left I must say as a proud Irish rover I feel quite flat. Rovers have always had a link with the national team. I remember being very excited the title season when kenna signed. Of course there was duffer and Moran. Plus many from the north. Growing up there were always plenty of rovers fans over here. Not at utd or Liverpool levels but respectable. Now we are nearly extinct. Calling all Irish rovers what are your memories? And to our uk neighbours your memories of Irish guys wearing that famous jersey.

Gotta say sacking sam was a crazy decision at the time. You can expect new owners to put their stamp on things. But in the middle of a season when we were comfortable, just stupid. Then actually doing it and replacing in house was nuts. Sam was very frustrating, I mean andrews to this day annoys me when I see him on tv. The owners knew they weren’t ever going to invest so Sam actually was ideal for them. The idiots

Please everyone stop with sensible names. We know how appointments are made at rovers. It will be the worst and cheapest option. They will see it as a bonus to infuriate the fan base. We are rovers under Vs ownership. How any of their businesses are profitable is beyond me. I guess it must be difficult to screw up in the chicken trade

Do those inside the club know who the interviewers are? It comes back to the total lack of any info from the club/owners We know no actual timeline. Other clubs always outline a timeline for these type of appointments. This is a shorter summer than typical. They really should have had someone lined up ages ago. It was very clear we weren’t going to make the playoffs and the TM was going. This is not a time for a long protracted appointment.

Reading this topic is eye opening really. It really shows how aimless this club is. We the fans haven’t got a clue what’s going on. We can’t even make educated guesses. Some of us believe our top targets have to be interested because we are a club on the up. Some believe the owners will look for the cheapest option regardless. Others believe a left field appointment. My opinion is simple. We have some talented young players and a youth system that produces. We should look for a manager with a history of working under such circumstances. Add a little experience where needed. Will we get such an appointment? Who knows. We don’t even know who is doing the interviews etc. As ever no communication. Ignore the odds on who will be the next manager. The bookies haven’t a clue. No one does

It wouldn’t surprise me one bit that several of the “ITK”s are correct but telling different stories. We are rovers run by those idiots. Forget about the right hand not knowing what the left is doing. The right hand doesn’t know what it’s own fingers are doing. Some could be putting together a short list and others already doing interviews. Basket case of a club at the upper levels remember.

It’s impossible to guess what way this will end up. My head says the only option is farke. But am I the only one who would love to see someone who loves the club lead us back to the PL. I do think ainsworth could be the answer. That’s the romantic in me. I just want to see that beautiful jersey on display at anfield. Everything is in place for rovers to get back to the promised land. We just need the right leader to add the finishing touches. Resign darragh and let’s go

Coventry v ROVERS
eire3382 replied to Hoochie Bloochie Mama's topic in Blackburn Rovers Fans Messageboard
Indifferent start really. When we are good we are outstanding. When we are poor we struggle to break teams down. My impression is that Holtby is the key to this season. His footballers brain is way ahead -
Fulhams starting 11 ?
