Blackburn Rovers again refused permission for Sherwood talks
10:47am Wednesday 17th October 2012 in Sport
BLACKBURN Rovers have again been knocked back in their efforts to speak to former skipper Tim Sherwood about their vacant managerial position.
Sherwood is high on Rovers’ wish list as they attempt to appoint a new boss to replace the departed Steve Kean.
But the 43-year-old is currently working as Tottenham’s technical co-ordinator and the North London club have now refused another approach from Rovers to speak to Sherwood.
For more on this story, see tomorrow’s Lancashire Telegraph.

Get one who act fast into the ground with players. even players also lost focus if u continue like this. Now Blackburn rovers Club is just like a headless chicken in the championship.
Hope Sherwood will soon find his Ewood love.

HE HAS NIL EXPERIENCE!
SHERWOOD OUT! SHERWOOD OUT! (BEFORE HES EVEN IN)
They want to appoint Sherwood so that they can keep the rest of the backroom staff in place and keep control over the team.

Sherwood has apparently said he would like to talk to the owners and is meant to be having a meeting with the Rao brothers in Switzerland to discuss things.
Although if this report is correct then he wont be meeting with them after all.
Personally I would like us to pursue Holloway and compensation is likely to be less and he has the experience and ability we need right now.

Black it is then. The farce continues.
Unless Sherwood forces the issue with Spurs and they relent and let him talk to Rovers (which is still possible as DL is known as a very hard negociator).
If Rovers turn their attention to IH I can see Blackpool also refusing us permission to speak to him - then Rovers will win one of our next 2 games and hey presto, slam dunk, Black will be appointed within 36 hours of us scaping a 1 0 win against some no hoper team.

Would any other club in our position be interested in Sherwood as manager? The answer is surely no.

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.

The fans are the longest serving positive the club has. Do they care about what the fans think - do they heck.
They can stick stupid singh where the sun don't shine and loose the hangers on before any re building can start.
Any one who has followed this breakup can see the problem, it's just very difficult to admit we all just stood there and watched it happen. It doesn't really matter who the manager is he will just be the excuse maker for the unhealthy owners.
Get the owner/s out.

If Sherwood wants the job badly enough, he can simply let it be known. He is also quite capable of resigning his post and then talk to Rovers of his own free accord. If he is certain that the job is his if we wants it, then that is all he needs to do. In effect he did force his move from Rovers to Spurs as a player, when Eric Hall his agent at the time promised to double his money. The shoe is on the other foot now, so Tim if you want the job, resign from Spurs.
Whether he is the right man for the job or not, only time will tell. When we hired Howard Kendall all those years ago, he was a novice manager. Despite that he took us from the old Third Division as champions in his first season to within goal difference of promotion, to the top flight, all on a shoestring. He went on to manage Everton to the championship, so a novice can some good!

Apart from being an abysmal manager, Kean is a bare faced liar who lives in some sort of fantasy world he's a good manager. He manipulated his way into a job he had no right to have even been considered for and is not and never will be a decent manager in professional football. That said Black is not the man for the job either and like most human beings would not put up with the absolute bombardment of abuse Kean received because just for financial benefit and pig ignorance. Posting sh1t for a reaction suggests to me you've not much going on Dog, so go and wash your hair and paint your nails puff pants.

David Goodwillie has cut short a loan spell at Crystal Palace and returned to Blackburn Rovers after struggling to settle in London.
Goodwillie linked up with Palace on transfer deadline day in an agreement which was due to run until January.
However, the 23-year-old has opted to head back to his parent employers ahead of schedule.
Goodwillie made just one substitute appearance during his time at Selhurst Park after finding it difficult to acclimatise to life in the capital.
"David Goodwillie has agreed to go back to Blackburn Rovers as he's struggled to settle in London," Crystal Palace assistant manager Lennie Lawrence told the Croydon Advertiser.
"It was in everybody's best interests that he went back, so that's happened.
"He just couldn't settle and it's just one of those things."

In 6 months, if we are at the bottom end of the Championship, it will cost a few more millions to fire him and replace him.
He is totally unproven as a Manager. If he wanted to be one, he could start off in the lower leagues and learn the trade. With the situation at Ewood we can't afford to be a training ground for maybe managers. Failure would be catastrophic.

TS is better off at Spurs and Shearer on TV so who does that leave that has the right credentials? Certainly not Black
I would like Holloway but I think he manages his way and not the way someone else would want him to manage unless they are ready or some straight talk look else where
All of SK management supporters are also capable of steering candidates away from this job as they probably do know just how bad this club is now being run but do not say this in public
3 weeks and no decision makes me comfortable that nothing has changed with Venkys, they are slow and unsure and have put themselves in to analysis paralysis, basically they could not pick their nose without a consultant telling them how

Well who gives one about Sherwood what has he ever done in management? Do you all feel Shebby knows anything about football and management? I would personally not go near anyone that Shebby likes as he is just another Charlie Chaplin trying to make a name for himself.Please could someone explain why a provincial club based in east Lancashire require a Global Adviser? We should go for either a big name or a young hungry manager with a good track record and who knows the game backward.
There's just the £8million paid for Rhodes that keeps me hanging on to the hope that they will make a good appointment. Everything else points to it being more of the same stupidity. There was a light at the end of the tunnel when Kean went but now it's looking increasingly Black. :-((((

When Rovers stated that Samba was not for sale last year it was pretty obvious that he would get his move. He stated that he wanted to move on and move on he did. He stated that he could not promise to give his all for the club anymore. In situations like that, a club cannot hang on to an unhappy player.
If Sherwood wants the job badly enough, he can simply let it be known. He is also quite capable of resigning his post and then talk to Rovers of his own free accord. If he is certain that the job is his if we wants it, then that is all he needs to do. In effect he did force his move from Rovers to Spurs as a player, when Eric Hall his agent at the time promised to double his money. The shoe is on the other foot now, so Tim if you want the job, resign from Spurs.
Whether he is the right man for the job or not, only time will tell. When we hired Howard Kendall all those years ago, he was a novice manager. Despite that he took us from the old Third Division as champions in his first season to within goal difference of promotion, to the top flight, all on a shoestring. He went on to manage Everton to the championship, so a novice can some good!

Dougie Freedman from Palace or Flitcroft from Chorley thats it guys. This lot make noises like they give one and then hire a cheap option and blame it on Spurs. Dont discount Black either, especially if we win at Derby. Whats wrong with Holloway ffs. The whole dire 20+ months has been a nightmare that looks like it will not end any time soon. :-(

Those in Pune and in Blackburn couldn't organise the proverbial in a brewery. It's taken them two weeks to get to a shortlist plus another week of ar$e scratching and still nothing.

Simon Grayson is number 2 on my list with Ole gunnar number 1.
Bananaman is way down below Owen Coyle just because of the shape of his nose. Only guy in football that comes close to steve bruce. If I wanted a manager to sniff round corners then he'd be the guy, but whoever gets picked has to represent our club and Mcarthy doesn't make good viewing.

Rumour mill has Steve kean as a favourite to take on the Scotland job when Levine has been sacked.
Are Scotland that desperate lol!
His silence said it all.
He wasn't that quiet when we wanted keane out, what goes around comes around !!!

RespectTheK-Dog wrote:Wow - why are you so jealous of the possibility us getting Sherwood as our next manager? That is quite a rant even for a deluded claret. Has Howe's betrayal (almost equal to Coyle's) hurt you so badly that you need to slag-off everything Rovers do...? Just because your (ex) manager would rather go build sandcastles on Bournemouth beach rather than continue with the impossible task of building the shambles at the Turf into a football club, please do not bring your inane ramblings onto our site.

RespectTheK-Dog wrote:Wrong on so many levels. The reason AVB doesnt want him at the club is down to the fact that he has more respect from all players and staff at the football club and its showing him up. How can you say spurs dont even rate him when Levy wants him to become the director of football at the club and thats why hes refusing to let him speak to us plus 80% of the back room coatching staff would also be leaving to come to us if Sherwood was appointed manager, Which would cause huge problems at Spurs and unsettle players etc.

If Spurs wont let us speak to Sherwood and he won't walk out on them, then we've got to accept it and move on.
We should find out if OGS really wants to come to Ewood.
If he does, I'm sure that he would be worth the wait.
Daniel Levy is merely showing the chicken farmers how to conduct business.
Pretending they are so desperate to keep him - and you all fall for it - when AvB has already indicated he doesn't like him or even want him around the club!
Spurs don't even rate Sherwood. And I'm stumped if I can see why anyone else would either.
For me Sherwood would be a much better addition then the likes of Black,Holloway, McCarthy and Shearer
Just need our owners to show some intent (and cash) and sort that out ASAP now.
Are you seriously suggesting for one second that Levy would consider keeping Sherwood when AvB wants him out?
Or that AvB is somehow "jealous" of Sherwood?
If Levy loves Deadwood so much why didn't he make HIM manager? Er because he thought he'd get a proper manager.
Sherwood only got a position at Spurs because he was a mate of Jamie Redknapp's. And that is a sorry fact.
But keep on believing the hype about him being hot property?
Can you not see that on a basic level Tim Sherwood is scum? He's a piece of work. White bread.
You are being played by Levy and it's hilarious that you can't even see it. The more he pretends to want to keep him (£3m compo I believe HAHAHA) the more you seem to believe he has some sort of talent.
Levy will let him go alright. You'll pay through the nose and he'll ruin you. Deadwood's ambitious alright - but he'll have no loyalty to you lot.
anyway it may be Holloway and not Sherwood that comes to Ewood - but guess that you will have plenty to slag him off for too....maybe your next manager can be one of our dregs that we didn't want? I will ask Shebby to send you the 'not wanted' list.
I've gone out of my way to say why he would be a rubbish manager.
He's unproven as as yet but being as he is sub human scum I think he would damage Blackburn.
One last thing I support LEEDS.
