Who do you want to see as the next Blackburn Rovers manager?
9:00am Monday 1st October 2012 in Sport
Who should take over from Steve Kean?
THIS is your chance to have a say on who you think should be the next manager of Blackburn Rovers.
Large sections of Rovers supporters were celebrating on Friday after Steve Kean left the club, with the search for his successor now underway.
A string of names have been mentioned with regards potentially filling the role as Rovers bid to find the right man to take them back to the Premier League.
Opinions appear varied about what route Rovers should go down next and this is your chance to share your view.
Should Rovers look to attract someone like Mick McCarthy or Harry Redknapp, managers who have had success in long managerial careers?
Would you like to see a Rovers ‘legend’ return to Ewood Park?
Would the likes of Alan Shearer, Tim Sherwood or Garry Flitcroft – people who know the tradition of the club – be the right choice?
Is there a manager who has not been mentioned who you think would be ideal?
Or is Eric Black your man?
Have your say by giving us the name of the one manager you would like Venky’s to appoint.
State the name of your choice either by email to andrew.cryer@nqnw.co.uk, by letter to Sports Desk, Lancashire Telegraph, High Street, Blackburn, BB1 1HT or online in the comments section underneath this story.
The vote will close at midday on Wednesday, with results published in Thursday’s Lancashire Telegraph.

Although he was thrown into the hot seat at the last minute on Saturday, he still managed the impossible and picked a side more negative and more paceless(is that a word?!) than even Kean managed!
I would like Holloway to be approached but would he really leave a stable position where he can do no wrong to take over here.Only if he was promised no interference in football matters, and what are the chances of that?!

Blackburn doesn't have in my view the pulling power/structure for a top name so would be looking for a sound proven Manager who has succeeded with limited resources.
My choice would be a man that has mixed it at different levels of the game and has a proven Managerial Record - but whether he would leave a well managed club for the idiotic style of the Venkys who knows - Ian Holloway.,

CLERK: what sort of job are you looking for Mr Kean? How do you see yourself in the future?
KEAN: I see myself as the next Bill Shankley.
CLERK: Really! Now let me see; what skills do you have?
KEAN: Taking the positives out of a situation and footballing genius!
CLERK: Very good; and do you have any achievements on your CV?
KEAN: Oh yes! I recently took a football club into the English Championship.
CLERK: The fans must have been delighted.
KEAN: Oh yes. They certainly made a big fuss about me.
CLERK: And can you give me the names of two well respected people who are familiar with your work and character who can provide good references?
KEAN: Colin Hendry and Jerome Anderson.
CLERK: Driving license?
KEAN: Errm yes, but I prefer to use public transport. People tell me I'm very green.
CLERK: Any international experience?
KEAN: Well, I am highly regarded in India. I've heard it said they are bonkers about me in India.
CLERK: Now I must ask this: do you have any weaknesses at all?
KEAN: None whatsoever! Who told you that?
CLERK: None? Are you sure?
KEAN: It's those swine isn't! Those swine that write in to the Telegraph. Well alright some people, who don't know me, say I am not defensively minded. But it's nay gide to be defensive, is it, so I take that as a positive.
CLERK: and have you had to overcome any disadvantages.
KEAN: You mean me coming from Scotland?
CLERK: I think that's nearly it. Do you have anything to add?
KEAN: Yes, plenty! I am a good team motivator, and a noted talent spotter. Oh, and I am modest too, never known to exaggerate my talents and achievements.
CLERK: Finally, could you let me know what your leisure interests are?
KEAN: Well, I have a particle accelerator in the garden. Been looking for the Higgs Bosun. Haven't seen the little beggar yet. On my recent trips to India I have been building a model of the Taj Mahal out of match sticks, but I've had to put that aside all of a sudden. I like holiday trips to Portugal and I get involved with a lot of what I like to call, ahem, "socialising" especially with my friend Braveheart and his pensioner group.
CLERK: Well, that's excellent Mr Kean. We shouldn't have any difficulty in placing a man of your calibre. In fact we have been notified just this morning of a vacancy that has come up suddenly over the weekend. It should suit you down to the ground. It is as the Number Two to a charming man, Shabby Singh. We are likely to have a similar vacancy coming up in Burnley that you could wait for, but quite frankly you are far too good for that.

For the candidates, i'm sure Eric Black is great an all, but to get Rovers promoted and to stay in the PL, Rovers need to appoint a familiar face in manager history.
Start off with the obvious contender, Tim Sherwood, nothing gets the old Rovers blood flowing again then a member of the winning team, with AVB hiring him at Spurs, and saying his futures his own, then we may have an early replacement.
I think we should however, rule Shearer out automatically, after his abyssmal career as manager at Newcastle.
Old faces including Harry Redknapp, King Kenny and Mick McCarthy are the obvious best choices, as we all now, Kenny took us to the top, Harry is also a fantastic candidate for the job after years of success at Spurs (I'm sure he'll be itching to get back into a managers job instead of sitting on BBC 1 listening to big eared 'Mr. Walkers' Lineker).
McCarthy is also a strong contender due to his promotion statistics, however, in previous months at Wolves, he has shown weakness, this raises alarms.
Another name mentioned is ex-Villa boss, Alex McLeish, i have to say no-no-no to McLeish, frankly, he just seems like another Kean, we all saw a great Aston Villa side tumble down the PL table, barely escaping relegation.
Finally, my favourite manager, Ian Holloway, because of his wit.
He did bring Blackpool up to the PL, however, he did take them down, a possible dark horse of the candidates.
My choice would either be Kenny Dalglish, Harry Redknapp or Mick McCarthy.

I honestly believe that the right man will bring his own people and encourage better ways of running the club. IF the Venky's are genuinley wanting to get their investment back on track and right their wrongs, then they must appoint someone like McCarthy, Redknapp, Curblishley or Hoddle - someone who has been a number one for years, who knows the game and the runnings of a club inside out. VENKY'S MUST BE WILLING TO LISTEN AND IMPLEMEMNT THE NEW MANAGERS SUGGESTIONS AND IDEAS AND GIVE HIM FULL BACKING.
If they do the above, we'll be back on track by Xmas and with a bit more investment in the defence in January we can push for automatic promotion.
If they go for another YES MAN, a number 2 or kit man on the cheap who wants to play at being a manager, well, we all know how that will turn out!!!!!!!!!

The Ewood set up demands a strong individual who can do the job without being influenced by owners or supporters - my choice would be De Canio at Swindon. Andy Cryer would love it he wouldnt have to look for stories this guy is his own man and he wasnt a bad footballer so should entertain the crowd all the time.

Unless the club's got Man City type of money then you have to cut your cloth accordingly. Bottom line is winning games and getting the club promoted as quickly as possible - particularly with the new TV rights money on offer. Fail to get promoted this season or next and we could see Rovers plunge much further. We need a no-nonsense manager and there are experienced candidates available without having to shell out a penny of compensation for an inexperienced one.

The man mentioned in this morning's gossip columns - Keith Hill - is certainly worth considering. He has a proven track record of achievement and is making his way up in English football management. He has learned the hard way and is now proving a shrewd manager of Barnsley. Plus he's an ex-rover and will respect the club and fans. Def NOT McCarthy. OK for promotion maybe but useless once in the premier division.

Plus I think this is a decent opportunity for Al - we have a good shot at promotion and will often be playing sides we should be turning over convincingly. It beats a relegation scrap as a proving ground for a young manager.

It's hard to dispute the rational objections, but the idea of 20,000+ rovers fans singing Shearer's name on Saturday is an incredible thing to imagine in contrast to the last 2 years. Usually I'd oppose romantic reasons behind managerial appointments, but I think our current predicament calls for a little romance. The heart has been ripped from the club, and having our greatest ever player on the touchline is a way to restore that heart. Plus I think this is a decent opportunity for Al - we have a good shot at promotion and will often be playing sides we should be turning over convincingly.

Keith Hill seems a decent bloke and I think he would come also, but his lack of top level football counts against him.
McCarthy can get a team out of the championship but always seem to bring them back down again. Don't need any yo-yo managers at Ewood.
Benitez and Redknapp are both decent 'old school' type managers who would be good choices but don't think either would want to come.
The rest are really also-rans at this stage.

It's just a shame the idiots got rid of some quality players to appease the clown who left, they would have been good for an experienced Manager. But therte are some good starters for a knowledgeable candidate.

Kenny Dalglish or Harry Redknapp would be amazing to see either back here with the type of experience we need but cant see it happening... would cost venkys quite a bit to get either down here and we all know venkys love spending money... :-/
Not sure about Mick McCarthy... he didnt do brilliantly with wolves towards the end but i think that given the lack of experience and expense of other managers to bring in i think he will be venkys choice

If they are prepared to spend £40k+ on Murphy & Rhodes then why get a manager on the cheap.

What you must do is have another open meeting with Shebby Singh as it was pure Phoenix Nights. You'd be better off with Brian Potter running your club too. In the words of Potter, your senior management couldn't find their arses with both hands.

In an ideal world its unlikely to be a proven premier league manager especially with venkys clowns in charge. Preference for Newell, Sherwood ok but cant see him moving from London, Hughes again yes but he wont come back, McCarthy absoutely not, Billy Davis no thanks.
Don't expect an appointment anytime soon as venkys (along with anderson the other two of the three that need to go next) will dither around. They are the fundamental problems still remaining at the club. Just watch those assets continue to disappear......

Successes Old 'Arry and Joe Jordan,Glen Hoddle superb tactician only lost England job because he said the wrong thing but at least he was honest about it. R Benitez -European Cup winner.Venables.
Newbies -Sherwood,possibly Shearer as he didnot get time,Flitcroft.
Exstg managers Hill,Ollie, worth considering.
The best guy in my opinion is Redknapp as he can attract the best players like he did at Portsmouth Defoe and Crouch etc etc we need someone who can wheel and deal and borrow a few defenders as that is very important to us because its the reason we are drawing and not winning every game.

Kean hired both of them and of course Hendry should never have been brought to Rovers in the first place with his scandalous recent behaviour., it must be embarrasing now to be stuck with a swindler as our defensive coach,and all the jokes we hear all over the place ,about about our pensioners(Murphy,Go

Rafa Benitez is head and shoulders above all other suggestions. Normally I would expect that a manager of his calibre would reject us, however there are mitigating circumstances. He has lived in the northwest for 8 years, he has a young family who are settled in the country and he is available. He might turn us down, but I think he would say yes. We have to go and talk to BENITEZ.
Mr Purple
says...
2:41pm Mon 1 Oct 12
Andy Cryer, you know how clueless the regime at Ewood are, maybe as a journo, you should ask Benitiez, because I've no confidence in these clowns making an approach as they couldn't see what is available under their noses.
For the very reasons that many are assuming that Redknapp won't come because he won't leave the sarf, those very reasons are why we do have a chance to get Benitez.

It's Monday morning and Steve Kean is down at the Job Centre signing on for job seekers allowance:
CLERK: what sort of job are you looking for Mr Kean? How do you see yourself in the future?
KEAN: I see myself as the next Bill Shankley.
CLERK: Really! Now let me see; what skills do you have?
KEAN: Taking the positives out of a situation and footballing genius!
CLERK: Very good; and do you have any achievements on your CV?
KEAN: Oh yes! I recently took a football club into the English Championship.
CLERK: The fans must have been delighted.
KEAN: Oh yes. They certainly made a big fuss about me.
CLERK: And can you give me the names of two well respected people who are familiar with your work and character who can provide good references?
KEAN: Colin Hendry and Jerome Anderson.
CLERK: Driving license?
KEAN: Errm yes, but I prefer to use public transport. People tell me I'm very green.
CLERK: Any international experience?
KEAN: Well, I am highly regarded in India. I've heard it said they are bonkers about me in India.
CLERK: Now I must ask this: do you have any weaknesses at all?
KEAN: None whatsoever! Who told you that?
CLERK: None? Are you sure?
KEAN: It's those swine isn't! Those swine that write in to the Telegraph. Well alright some people, who don't know me, say I am not defensively minded. But it's nay gide to be defensive, is it, so I take that as a positive.
CLERK: and have you had to overcome any disadvantages.
KEAN: You mean me coming from Scotland?
CLERK: I think that's nearly it. Do you have anything to add?
KEAN: Yes, plenty! I am a good team motivator, and a noted talent spotter. Oh, and I am modest too, never known to exaggerate my talents and achievements.
CLERK: Finally, could you let me know what your leisure interests are?
KEAN: Well, I have a particle accelerator in the garden. Been looking for the Higgs Bosun. Haven't seen the little beggar yet. On my recent trips to India I have been building a model of the Taj Mahal out of match sticks, but I've had to put that aside all of a sudden. I like holiday trips to Portugal and I get involved with a lot of what I like to call, ahem, "socialising" especially with my friend Braveheart and his pensioner group.
CLERK: Well, that's excellent Mr Kean. We shouldn't have any difficulty in placing a man of your calibre. In fact we have been notified just this morning of a vacancy that has come up suddenly over the weekend. It should suit you down to the ground. It is as the Number Two to a charming man, Shabby Singh. We are likely to have a similar vacancy coming up in Burnley that you could wait for, but quite frankly you are far too good for that.

Owners who don't have a clue what a football looks like let alone how the game is played or what it actually means to the people that really matter, the fans.
Shebby Singh, a TV pundit who blows with the wind "in charge" (sic), overseeing everything the manager does, buying players the manager has never seen.
Just imagine the scenario, new manager sitting at his desk mulling over the next match, knock on door, shouts "come in".
In walks x, y, or z, manager asks "Who are you?", x, y or z says in whatever his language happens to be "Hi boss, I'm your new centre half, I'm playing on Saturday".
And then the poor sod will have the boo boys to look forward to the moment Shebby puts a foot wrong for him.
I agree with one possibility though, after watching Barnsley absolutely wipe the floor with us Keith Hill would probably be a good choice, but at Barnsley he controls things, he has an excellent set up, some decent players and a management structure that supports him.
I really don't think he, or any other decent manager would be that stupid though.

For a start he's Newcastle through and through, also he's inexperienced. You can also forget Redknapp. He's never been further north than Tottenham to manage a club and he ain't going to leave his mansion on Sandbanks. It's going to be a difficult call but going by Venkys actions, so far, it's going to be somebody who's cheap and does what he's told, which rules out any manager worth his salt.

I also don't think Shearer, Tugay or Sherwood are the answer either. Sentiment doesn't make a good manager.
Christoph Daum would be a great signing, but he's only second on my list. I think we need someone who has experience managing in this division, who will command respect from the players and staff, and who won't take any sh*t from the likes of Shebby Singh. For those reasons alone, my personal preference would be...
Keane in!
That's right, Roy Keane, with Gary Neville as his #2.

Ole Gunnar solskjaer, Glenn Hoddle and Ray Wilkins.
Particularly the last two, as tactical awareness at Ewood Park is something that has been missing for too long (arguably 21 months at the VERY least)

He has done a good job at Swindon.
He has a passion for the English game
The English game loves him.
He's a winner & the fans would love him & most of the players would buck their ideas up because he won't take any bull shot from players like Olssen, Dann or Givet.
PAULO DI CANIO.
He's the future.

1 would be glen hoddle or mark hughes if he would come back hut doubt it tbh

Kean " this is the best squad I have ever had" is evidently not true.
We have a defence that needs fixing a midfield with a mix of skill (tugay) fight (Robbie) pace and guile.
With spending probably limited in the near future in my opinion we need someone who can get 5. / 10% more out of what we have in addition to being massively tactically astute. JM at Chelsea making reaffirmed as early as 20 minutes into a game if needed.
Is there one manager who can do all of this as well as standing up to Venkys
In addition sorting out our recruitment policy / academy. There is probably with all the latest recruits an issue with all our successful youth squad last year feeling as if their prospects are no longer at the club
Massive job to do
Tim Sherwood doing this job at Spurs
Faz to sort defence out
Manager who's key asset is tactical nouse and PR to also get sponsors and fans back.
HR - lacking on tactical front
Holloway - would get the extra 10 % not sure on tactics
Benitez would take no messing off Venkys
So a massive appointment and if they were prepared to pay big for Rhodes then coughing up for a quality manager should be priority number one.
Liverpool fans seemed to warm to Benitez so Benitez with Sherwood as his number two??
Someone who would have solved most areas and combine everything would be Hoddle however he seems to have burnt his bridges with no way back.
