Shebby draws out more time so that the impact of the Black appointment is seen as "well we needed to get someone in" and the LET will be posting articles like "GET BEHIND BLACK" a day or so after his appointment.

If Black is hired, I'm done with BRFC for the forseeable future.

How many chances do Venkys want to try to show the fans how to run the club as it should be run. Yet again they dither about and show the fans that nothing has changed , from day one the owners have come across as clueless and inept at the day to day running of a football club.The fans will not be patient Mr Singh we have been patient for far to long as far as Venkys are concerned two weeks to draw up a short list is frankly ridiculous,we now hear that Bolton are stealing a march on us three days after sacking their manager and that the playing staff are growing increasingly dissilusioned with events this continued dithering and dallying only increases our discontent with the incompetent hierarchy, shape up now Venkys or ship out .

What are the odds on Bolton getting a new manager before us...How can this go on so long, they should have been searching for a new manager long ago and now we are still on the hunt. Can these clowns get anything right at all, hopefully in the next days somebody will be appointed and we can all look forward and get back behind the Rovers, but like everybody else on here we won't hold our breath!!!!
Sort it out Shebby this is last chance saloon and get somebody in before the next game, no more bull we have had enough of that from the deluded one!!!!!

They managed to get a few more season tickets sold, and 5000 more bums on seats for the Wolves game, so, yes, they did manage to get a couple of things right

OGS Will be Bolton manager.
The timing of Owens sacking was so they could get OGS before we did.
Alex Ferguson has said on many occasions that OGS would be a top manager and so far he has proved to be.
The people in charge at Bolton know how these things are done and will move fast, while yet again the clowns at ewood demonstrate their complete lack of understanding how to run a football club.
Bolton have made us look stupid!

Unfortunately it looks like the increase was only for that one game. Normal service will be resumed at the Derby match ie 10 to 12000 unless they pull off a miracle and surprise us with a wonderful new manager. But don't hold your breath.

Yes Rovers 1495, They did sell 5000 more tickets for the Wolves game but only after Kean resigned..........A decision they didn't make.

I tell you what... I just shuddered reading this comment when I had a vision of 4-5 managers going over to Pune as if it was some sort of reality tv show... And the winner gets the rovers job!

Steve KEAN employed HENDRY as taxi driver /defensive coach Kean needed someone to drive him around as we all know Kean is a convicted drunk driver..

HENDRY thinks he is now on the gravy train and he does not want to get off.
There is an old saying,
"BETTER TO HAVE A ENEMY WHO SLAPS YOU IN THE FACE THAN A FRIEND WHO STABS YOU IN THE BACK "

We have all read about the way HENDRY treats his friends/pensioner neighbours.

These two should have gone when their big pal the odious one STEVE KEAN left , not quite all the bad odour is gone from rovers.

They haven't gone and most likely Hendry is part of the reason Sherwood is odds on to come to Rovers. They were team mates, old buddies, Hendry is gathering his mates around him, just as Kean did.

Shebby may well be in negotiations right now with Sherwood along the lines of, "Will you keep Eric and Colin on? Will you take a low wage as we are putting you on the first rung of management? You can keep your pundit job (and get me one too while you're at it) and only travel to Rovers when you feel like it. I'll act as your proxy when you're away. Hey, you might even be able to keep your Spurs job if you want to."

Sherwood might just fit into the Ewood workflow pattern if they can arrange a cheap deal with promise of big bonus for promotion. Not my choice because he has no experience and may well be more divisive than able to unite the squad. But he can talk the talk and that seems to matter most to Venky's going of previous decisions.

Jogalot ,
You may well be right about Sherwood being old buddies with Hendry and possibly being under pressure to keep Hendry maybe not Black so much, but I think and hope Tim Sherwood is a a honourable man would want to do the right thing for all of us at Rovers,which means both Black and the mouthpiece Hendry gone.
Whats the point of it all if they cannot give us a clean slate.

I feel they unfortunately still have a thing for Tim Sherwood -god only knows why because he has never proved anything to anyone but Shebby the brainless is a Spuds supporter and may feel everything from Whitehart lane is worth having pity it wasnt old 'arry he wanted.

I would agree that if Bolton nick OGS from under our noses, they will make VENKYS' look stupid....but that's just normal for them so nothing new there.

Still certain to be Sherwood as far as the bookies are concerned, just seen him quoted as 1-5 on for the job just now. Never known bookies offer such a short price on anything that isn't a cast-iron certainty.

If they are that sure then it could be at the stage where the main Venkys UK office in London is actually working through the contract with him now?

How about appointing a Manager before publicly satating what is expected. The other side to the coin is what support is Venkys going to provide the new Manager with? you cnt turn a sows ear into a silk purse Shebby even if you did buy 5 Portuguese ball players

Can we take it iff you get the appointment wrong you will resign and go back to ESPN Asia and take Venkys with you

DON'T PANIC! This article has invited hysterical responses and boy we've got them. If OGS goes to Bolton he might do well but equally he might not be up to the job. When we got Ince, when we had good football men in charge, did enough analysis go into that decision? At the time I thought it was a good choice but I didn't know if he was good tactician or not or whether he was able to improve players' fitness or pro-zone stats. I based my view on the fact that he was an ex-top player getting results in the lower leagues. He obviously interviewed well too. Clearly that's not enough.

I don't trust the current owners to do the right analysis but surely rushing them and creating a sense of panic isn't going to help.

So long as its not Eric Black, this dolt is even more incompetent than Kean as a manager. This dolt played 7 defenders in a home game, which we lost 1-0 and then complained about lack of presence up front. Doh. Atleast Keans team win games in this league and score goals. - Must get rid of Hendry, that man is a liar and self interested scum. He doesnt care about the best interests of the club, only cares about his own gambling and drinking fund.
