Rovers yet to interview all candidates for Ewood hot seat

Tim Sherwood . . . targeted as potential Rovers manager Tim Sherwood . . . targeted as potential Rovers manager

BLACKBURN Rovers have yet to interview all the managers they are considering to fill the Ewood Park hot seat – with an appointment before Saturday’s trip to Derby County looking increasingly unlikely.

The Lancashire Telegraph understands several contenders have been spoken to over the past few days but no decision will be made until they have interviewed the rest on their shortlist.

It is believed Blackpool boss Ian Holloway and Molde manager Ole Gunnar Solskjaer are included on the list drawn up by global advisor Shebby Singh, managing director Derek Shaw and operations director Paul Agnew.

Spurs’ coach and Rovers’ Premier League winning skipper Tim Sherwood, right, is also a prominent name on the list with Rovers expected to make an approach to the Londoners imminently.

Sherwood has been targeted as a potential successor to Kean by Singh ever since the position became vacant but an initial approach was knocked back by the Londoners.

Singh is understood to remain hopeful an agreement can be reached with Spurs though, with efforts to clear the way for talks with Sherwood set to be stepped up over the next 48 hours.

Sources close to the 43-year-old believe he would be interested in discussing the position with Rovers’ board but would not be prepared to attempt to force a move.

This leaves Rovers needing to reach a satisfactory agreement with Spurs with talks understood to be held over the next few days.

Rovers were initially hoping to have their man at the helm before Saturday’s trip to Pride Park but, with targets still to talk to, look increasingly resigned to having to continue their efforts next week.

Caretaker boss Eric Black is still also understood to be under consideration for the position and will continue with the temporary reigns as Rovers’ Championship campaign continues on Saturday.

Barnsley boss Keith Hill, Chorley’s Garry Flitcroft and MK Dons’ Karl Robinson are also understood to have been under consideration.

Blackpool were bracing themselves for an approach from Rovers to speak to their boss Holloway but, as yet, no official contact has been forthcoming, while Solskjaer would not consider leaving the Norwegian champions before the end of their season in late November.

It is understood owners Venky’s do not want to bring an ‘old school’ type of manager into the club as they look to develop an up and coming manager. It is believed extensive managerial experience is not a priority.

So they don't want to pay a top class manager ? Obviously not, so can we expect another Kean type manager

Looks like second best will do for Venkys AGAIN.

I'm very worried that they are just waiting for Black to win a game before giving him the job. If he does get it then Venkys have learned absolutely nothing from their mistakes.

To be honest, I was pleasantly surprised that the headline to this article didnt read "Venkys yet to interview ANY candidates for Ewood hot set"

Thank goodness they've actually got started.

Any of the candidates mentioned in the article (except Black) would do for me. I'm not expecting a world beater, my expectations have been lowered somewhat thanks to the previous buffoon. Now all I care about is its someone I can get behind, someone I can respect. Then win, lose or draw, it doesn't actually matter as much because I don't EXPECT success, I just want to enjoy watching my football team play.

Maybe it seems the Venkys have not learnt their lesson about 'up and coming' managers yet. Tim Sherwood has never managed a team. My mother is available, maybe they will contact her next. What a mess. Are the Venkys making fun of us. We are indeed being taken for a ride, big time!

You don't know from this article if they have or not. They might just have scribbled a few pie-in-the-sky names on a piece of toilet paper, then spent the next two and a half weeks picking the fluff out of their navels.

The long enough we wait surely rovers will win a game ...then Black can be appointed untill the end of the season... Two wins on the bounce then a 5 year improve deal must be on the cards.....anyone seen Blacks previous management record?....obviously Venkeys must be impressed with it, does that surprise anyone!

I'm certainly warming to the idea of Tim Sherwood being our new manager. Holloway for me is too gung-ho and Singh has already suggested the club want a manager young, fresh and hungry and Sherwood seems to have the drive and determination and has a superb reputation at Spurs. Whoever we bring in, will bring disagreement from certain quarters. For me, Sherwood will galvanise the club, will bring in good people behind him and we will have the fresh start we have craved for the past two seasons. An exciting prospect, that should get our full support.

What kind of set up would say we want a manager but "Extensive managerial experience not a priority" What kind of ambition does that show ?

They might as well get someone from the YTS and give them on the job training.

Shebby...enough of the old ESPN boys club. Out with Hendry...NO to Sherwood. Follow Kenny's advice and give it to Shearer. Then force a clear out of the backroom staff. That is the only way these matters will be resolved. This is your last chance to get this right...DO NOT BALLS IT UP BY SADDLING THE CLUB WITH EVEN MORE DEBT AND PAYING MILLIONS TO EMPLOY YOUR BUDDY SHERWOOD!!!

It was even strongly rumoured that he was going to be sacked. Plus they would have to pay compensation to those clubs!!! What hope for the future of the club with these idiots in charge??

Have to disagree with the term legend. Caused a multitude of problems prior to him forcing an exit to Spurs. I would suggest that the vast majority of supporters do not want him back....neither do they want the other mercenary...Hendry!! A clear out is what is required with a professional management team in place...not a bunch of drunken louts!!

I might be wrong but given what venky's was like in the past that being said. Don't you think if they was going to give the job to black and all the names was just a cover up don't you think they would of done it by now irrelevant if black win's lose or draws?. And Given how long they chased rhodes for i can only see them getting sherwood daniel levy will sell if the money is right even if he think's sherwood is 1 of the up and coming managers in years to come i for 1 wont mind because kean isnt here anymore. I just think that most of you moaners moan for the sake of moaning who ever they give the job to you will b1tch and moan if holloway gets it to. You don't really do any favor's to your selfs about being blackburn fan's with all this whinging. I don't like how long its taken to get a manager but its better then rushing and getting the first man you see i.e black.

Lets face it, no one really wants the job and that's why it's taking so long to appoint a new manager. The longer this goes on the more points we drop and with that confidence will fade. Sort it out Rovers, if your struggling I'll do it, with a hand picked bunch of specialist Rovers fans, who give a f*ck.

All Shebby wants is a manager with no experience so that when he says "im buying this player", "pick this player this week" they will do as commanded.
You could be right. Maybe it's another 'yes man' they're after and no self respecting, 'proper' football manager will entertain them !!!

Kean had no playing career no managerial experience and lacked leadership skills or carisma,so when it went tits up the crowd gave him what he deserved,nothing.The
y didn't believe in him and they wanted him out.
Sherwood has all the above attributes except managerial experience,but he runs the youth system at Spurs and must be good at it because levy won't let him go.
I don't know if Sherwood is the answer,who is look at Hughes not doing well is he but I would think most fans would have him back.
There are no guarentees but I think its worth a gamble,OGS would be my first choice but Sherwood tiks similar boxes.As long as we don't get Black he is a step back.

Do Rovers haven't interviewed all candidates, or even any? Seriously did we expect anything different?

What this latest farce shows is we need to keep on the drive of a supporters trust.

What a sad indictment of our owners. Two years, almost, since buying the club and they still have learned nothing about running the club.

Pretty much going to script, and they wonder why the support is up in arms.

I bet most Rovers fans would have been able to produce a shortlist of possible managers within the first 24 hours that included the likes of ;-
Shearer, Sherwood, Holloway, McCarthy, Hill, Flitcroft, Robinson and Black.

Whilst the club has been contacted by a few others expressing their interest in the job,(such as Schuster, Clemente, Solskjaer etc),
I do not undertand why, 19 days later, the Board still haven't spoken to all their preferred candidates.

There has been a lack of communication from the club - something that this new Board promised to rectify.
I do not expect to be told the names on the shortlist, but some information like numbers on the list, time scale, etc would be nice.

I believe that the top candidate is OGS, and I would be willing to wait, but only if he wants to come to Ewood.

Oh my goodness. This just gets more laughable by the day! I CANNOT BELIEVE the Venkys would be SO ignorant to say experience is not a priority after we have made it so clear that it is essential.
Well I can believe they would say that. This just goes straight back to:
a) them knowing absolutely nothing about football
b) them having absolutely no respect for our club
c) them having even less respect for us as loyal BRFC fans and paying customers.
Yet again they never cease to amaze, and yet again they are proving they are NOT FIT AND PROPER OWNERS.
It's just disgusting how deep into the s*** they've been allowed to drag us, and who do we have for protection?

If you want to attract big name players you have to have a big name manager. Just ask Kenny Dalglish.

when Shebby was interviewed by the BBC he was asked : "will you be looking for a young manager or one with experience?"

Shebby's somewhat comedy answer was "A young manager....WITH experience"

and now they are trying to break the bank to get in Sherwood, a man with no experience.

So what was Shebby on about exactly?

What are the Venky's playing at? No manager in place for the Derby game. what have they done with the past 3-4 weeks. Wasn't it Shebby and the Venky's that set these clear point targets. 'If we don't get x points after x games we only have a 50% chance of getting promoted', then waste 4 games with Eric Black who clearly is not good enough for the job. Yet again, the majot high of getting Steve Kean out has been soured by Venky's absolutely clueless Leadership. I can see this getting worse, before it gets better. Listening to Shebby on SkySports News the other day was an embarassment. Pull your fingers out, surely someone at the club has a clue what they are doing?

Perhaps you still don't really understand that Venky's are the owners. What this means is that anyone of any credibility will not work for Rovers and that Black is the only 'candidate' for the job ....The futures Bleak

It is understood that Souness, who also had a spell in charge at Bolton's rivals Blackburn Rovers from 2000-2004, may be brought in on a short-term basis to secure promotion to the Premier League.

Bolton are the intersted party not Ewood - oh well keep trying Shebby

old man rover says...

Not impressed by Holloway's track record. He may be a bit of a character but he was manager when Leicester City were relegated to League One from the Championship and he failed to keep Blackpool up. (Compare with Brendan Rodgers and Paul Lambert last season). We need someone more solid and reliable. Sherwood or Shearer seem to be better long-term options.

Nice of them to tell us they had drawn up a short-list; so much for communicating with the fans, etc. What's this Paul Agnew as "Operations Director" - what is he operating on? Carving up the corpse, more like it.

I cannot see any mention of our (absent) owners in the interview or decision making process. Does Mrs. D. or her brothers even know any of those supposedly being interviewed. If bakld-headed Holloway gets interviewed and recommended he's a certainty; Mrs. D. will think it is SK re-incarnated! Good job I didn't hold my breath waiting for a new manager; they don't move very quickly down at Ewood, do they? Perhaps they are still in shock (remember that fans - they said that when we went down and said it again when SK left). I'll be shocked if they don't appoint Black! .... wait for it - "We were shocked that nobody else wanted the job, so our only alternative was to offer it to Eric".

Only as tolerant, warm hearted, kind and considerate as any other fans in the country or are you seriously implying that if Steve Kean had been the manager of any other club and came into his job in the same manner as he did at Blackburn, had an identical performance record, was kept in the job for the same period of time despite this appalling record and treated fans and other managers (ie Allardyce) with the same levels of contempt then fans of this other club would be tolerant of Mr Kean and warm hearted towards him? B*llocks they would, the reaction would be the same. I'm sure Man Utd fans used to burn effigies of Malcolm Glazer, what did he do wrong? seems like a really nice guy to me, I would be more tolerant of him if I was a Man Utd fan.

Yes Shebby has revised his meticulous probability assessment

Seeing as you didn't lose the first three (and thus be a 50% chance for promotion), he has got you as 62.5436% chances of promotion.

Usually he would produce a figure correct to 10 decimal places but he is very busy staring at application forms with a blank expression right now.

This on-going saga is again a reflection on the lack of leadership and experience at this level of English Football that has been there throughout the Venky era.
The Venky,s have gone cheap (apart from Rhodes) all the way and Singh is on a ego tip of a lifetime, without any track-record of having acheived anything.

The outcome of his Bollywood saga is therefore likely not to be good news for the majority of supporters.
Unlessthe Venky,s can NOW show cearly they have rid the club of all that was the Anderson/Kean era, they will continue on a downhill slide having lost the trust of the majority of supporters.

Why the obsession with Tim Sherwood.? He might have lifted the trophy but he was never that popular with the Ewood faithful. Nicknamed "shirley" by the blackburn end when he came because of his reluctance to tackle, and that "stuck" for a while.A bit unfair maybe but that was the perception.
Gave the ball away a lot but I thought this was OK because he was trying to get us on the front foot with early balls to Ripley Wilcox Slater and Shearer and Newell running the channels. As a result pass completion was average.
Finally he made himself unpopular by being the first to wangle his way out of a sinking ship, which didn't exactly endear himself to the fans. Southern Boy who left his roots for what was then a unique opportunity for a bit of northern glory and at first sign of a problem straight off back to his roots where he has and should remain.
Shebby Shebby ! Get your facts straight about who really are Rovers legends and icons. Sherwood certainly is not!

Tim Sherwood was nether ,so why thr obsession. On arrival the Blackburn end labelled him "Shirley" because of his reluctance to tackle and that label stuck for a while.His pass completion was no more than average and that bothered a few fans,not me in particular because I thought he was always trying to ge us on the front foot and didn't succumb to the tippy tappy backwards and sideways. But the biggest problem for most fans was the complete lack of any loyalty at the first sign that things were on the slide. Making noises to get himself out of it at the earliest. Basically a southern boy who took a unique opportunity to grab a bit of northern glory while it lasted and immediately shot off back to hiis roots where he should stay. Shebby, he is not the man and nowhere near as popular as you and your colleagues may think !!

And Alan Shearer is available and willing to take over the Blackburn job

Billy Mc Kinlay is odds on for the job

And Alan Shearer is available and willing to take over the Blackburn job

Blackburn conceded an 89th min equaliser on Saturday

And Alan Shearer is available and willing to take over the Blackburn job

Steve Kean announces he is suing for £1.5m. (He WILL win)

And Alan Shearer is available and willing to take over the Blackburn job.

Eric Black is a palpably WORSE manager than Steve Kean

And Alan Shearer is available and willing to take over the Blackburn job.

So everything is rosy at Ewood.

(PS: Alan Shearer wants a job you know?)
