How did your sightings of Dyche in La Manga go or your delusional ramblings/nonsense that Mowbray chased Maja all year but was squeezed out for financial reasons. Hasn't one poster come out and said Mowbray could have signed Maja in January but chose not to!!! Not interested in willy waving but you do insist in having a go at me. Only interested in sharing information that comes my way that others might find of interest. Might be wrong here but suspect I was the first to post about Ferguson's interview and the heavyweight backing for him. What did you last break or spew, other than wind and verbal diarrhoea?

I will challenge @Bbrovers2288 @unleaded @glen9mullan or @alderson777or anyone else you want to name on this MB to say with 100% certainty Ferguson HAS NOT been interviewed. Ferguson wouldn't necessarily be my choice but my information is he has been interviewed, is a favoured candidate and has real heavyweight backing from a number of people and one in particular (who might raise eyebrows).

I think Carvalhal and Farke have now 'gone'. Stuck sizeable money this afternoon on Duncan Ferguson and odds range from 6/1 to 10/1 and I think these will fall pretty quickly. I wouldn't mind Ferguson at all - think he could galvanize both club and supporters and turn us into a Mark Hughes type team (hated by the opposition and their fans).

Can only be positive IF managed properly. I would appoint a wise old head experienced in the commercial, administration and CEO aspects of football to work alongside him, mentoring and developing the lad. I would certainly be looking at someone other than Waggott!!! A younger Tom Finn like figure would be ideal.

You really think Sharpe and Bayes are close to the club and know what's going on?! If you think potential managerial candidates being shown around the STC and Academy is clearly bullsh1t then it is your prerogative. I have good reason to think otherwise. IMO, the recruitment of a new manager/head coach is further down the line than many think and I think this will soon become evident. Let's not have an argument over it but simply wait and see. If I'm wrong I will hold my hand up.

Think this is very similar to what Sharpe wrote. IMO, Bayes and Sharpe two of a kind - little insight and wont rock the boat, gave Mowbray an easy ride. Bayes expects the majority of backroom staff to stay in place - has the guy got any intelligence? Who would want to work with, IMO, fifth raters like Lowe and Benson.

Agree. I find some of the responses to speculation on this MB incredulous. IMO, history under current ownership and their various senior managers tells us that all is far from joined up at Rovers where planning, execution and decision making are concerned - if Carlsberg did indecision and flip-flopping! Take Coyle's appointment - did Chesterton not go away on holiday thinking Warnock's appointment was in the bag only for all to change whilst he was away??? Take April 2021 when there was speculation Mowbray was about to head for the exit door. I think his body language at the time suggested he thought he was going and according to at least one poster on here, his staff also thought the same. Again, it was speculated (including some well known / respected posters on this MB) alternative managers were sounded out . Who was pulling the Ewood strings then and why an apparent change of mind? I think you could ask Rovers Senior Executive Management the same question and I think there's a high probability you would get several different answers! As for Sharpe, I have little confidence in his understanding of what's going on - I take his scribblings with a pinch of salt. As for prospective managers not visiting Brockhall - any prospective manager who hadn't seen the facilities down there would, IMO, most certainly want to see what set-up he had to work with. My personal view is Rovers are further down the line in their search for a new manager than Sharpe and some others on here think.

I don't think Sharpe has an insight like the lads on Liverpool Echo and Manchester Evening News have about their teams, moreover, I think Sharpe writes what he's allowed to! I understand interviews/discussions have now taken place with at least two candidates. I have little reason to doubt the credibility of the source.

Mention of Dyche relates to a posting I made last Tuesday when my lad spotted him in his car when we were driving through Dinckley. I posted about an hour ago that I was told at least one managerial candidate was being shown around Brockhall today (and I saw one arrive at The Academy) and I understand Carvalhal was one. Others have since posted about hearing interviews were taking place today at Brockhall.
