How do you "build" a football squad if you keep changing manager every 6 months, as each new manager will want to keep bringing in his "players".

Chelsea have taken RB for 1 reason and 1 reason only - they want PEP G - and he won't be available to start work until summer.

They havent done it because they think 6 months contracts for managers are a good business model.

Christ, a week ago, we ALL wanted an experienced manager, and stability - now half the fans change their opinion as fast as Shebby and Venkys and will take short term coaches, no backroom staff, Shebby doing the transfers and a different manager ever 6 months so no prospect of any strategic medium or longterm planning - complete and utter bonkers !

Its a six month with caveats for an extensions, not just a six months and go temp contact jc.

Keano's payout was a harsh lesson obviously to Venky's.

Yes, and how long did the previous, now linked with Rovers manager get?

Or come to think of it how long do any of them get?

We still need an experienced manager but we need to make sure he's the right one and not end up paying out what we clearly can no longer afford - despite what Shebby and co. tell us they have in the bank, because they clearly won't be wanting to spend it on payouts anymore.

If there are unemployed managers out there who fancy the Ewood post as their next career move then let them prove themselves and earn a longer contract. However, it is vital that the targets to be set are realistic. If we are going to say "promotion or sack" then we can forget about attracting any manger of quality and will only get chancers who don't expect to be here longer than six months. Getting into the play-offs this season might be an acceptable target given the time that has already been wasted by Shebby himself with his failure in appointing Henning Berg. What I don't understand however is why Shebby feels the need to make this policy public. He really does conduct himself like a headless chicken.

Yes but you're just defending Venkys cos they are Indian like you - you fail to mention their TERRIBLE TRACK RECORD, their complete and utter DIS-RESPECT for US, the fans, their DIS-RESPECT for the clubs heritage, the fact they have made the club a laughing stock around the world etc etc.

I bet you wouldnt be so quick to defend those "loons from Pune" if they were from Pakistan, or Denmark or Australia, you do so because you are biased towards them.

It's time to wake up. We had success whilst Jack Walker was able to bankroll it - and even he always said he wanted the club to be able to finance itself (ie he wasn't willing to invest forever). We were lucky that we had Williams in charge previously and he did a fabulous job of keeping us in the Prem for much longer than we should have been able to given our resources (or lack thereof). We needed a buyer and there was noone out there willing to pay for us.

We don't have the best owners, but we don't have the worst (we migt think we do, but ask Leeds and Portsmouth fans if they think we do....). We have a decent squad that, given some luck in the manager decision making department, might even be able to get us back into the Prem this year or next. Or they might not. In which case we'll stay in the Championship - but I've followed Rovers in the Third Division and enjoyed it, so surely we can still enjoy watching and supporting Rovers - till death do us part, for better or for worse - in the Championship?

It's true to say the fear of intervention by owners / global advisers might put some managers off, but not all I'll bet. It's equally true that, if Bowyer was given the job, and subsequently lost three on the bounce he would start to get grief from that extremely noisy minority that seems to be happier when they can moan rather than support - that will put some managers off too. I tell you what will make them want to come more than anything else - we'll pay them a wage, and it's a job.

A six month (ie to the end of the season) contract with clauses that reward success sounds like a very sensible option to me. Even the most popular 'candidates' might not work (for those hoping for Hughes, go and ask City and QPR fans if they'd have him back - and ask yourself when our defence started to be poor).

In any case, we'll still be Rovers and I'll still be supporting us. It's time for positive supporters to also speak up on these blogs and not let the negative moaning win every time - lets make the next manager welcome and support him in what will be a very difficult time.

Speak for yourself Cheshire. It's a forum for debate, and there's been a heck of a lot to debate, and it's not all good, Boo Hoo. Get over yourself, we are offically the worst run club so pick the positives out of that.

But whatever you do don't blame the blameless owners, our saviours.

Probably the most sensible post I've read this week.

Great post!

I whole heartedly agree with everything you have said, and hope more people will do so. Lets remove all this overwhelming negativity generated on this website by the moaners and groaners. Who are against anything being done at Blackburn Rovers. I dont think even Jack Walker would be immune from the constant abuse of these people, if he were still alive, and all the good things he did for us, would be forgotten.

People can moan, groan, shout abuse whatever. Venkys own the club at present and they call the shots. Bolton and Wolves relegated with us have less points than us. It is not easy in championship at all three clubs have found out. Venkys and Shebby are at last using brains and giving prospective managers a probationary period before given a long term contract. Well done Shebby for permanent signing of Josh King, good player. Looks like people are going to have to get used to Venkys as they have said they are here for the long term.

The comments here are absolute tripe in the most part. Lots of clubs use rolling contracts to the end the season for their managers and this is extended for the next season. Lots of successful clubs who have got promoted and some in the premier league have used these contractual terms for their managers. This is actually a decent idea and good way forward, especially an good idea given the pay outs they must have to pay to Kean and Henning Berg. We offer the new manager to the end of the season, and they get another 12 months should both parties be happy, and so on and so on.

However, it must be the right man. That means not Peter Taylor. To the poster asking for Billy Davies, he was sacked from his last job at Forest with them in the bottom three. He has not led both Preston and Forest to the playoffs in every season in charge and since the Forest sacking he has been out of work. That was quiet sometime ago now as well.

Well said Cheshire!

As well as being a place for the occasional sensible discussion this site also serves as a refuge for the manically depressed.

Some people seem to think that we have a divine right to be in the top flight; the Walker family blew a big hole through that idea when they sold the Club to the current owners but it has to be said that potential, worthy buyers were conspicuous by their absence.

The most comical posters on here are those who scream "VENKYS OUT" seemingly ignoring the fact that Venkys paid many millions of their own money to buy the Club.

Until they decide otherwise we are stuck with Venkys and the tragic mismanagement they have brought to the Club. Shebby, their ludicrous mouthpiece causes offence to all Rovers fans every time he opens his mouth in public.

So, it is a tough time to be a Rovers fan.

There have been many tough times before; in those days the moaners swapped sob stories in the pub and at the ground before the match. T'was ever thus.

It is gratifying though to note that the numbers of moaners on this site are very small. The same names appear over and over bleating their complaints and sustaining each other in a feeding frenzy of despond.

We need positivity on the pitch and in the stands to reverse the recent downward spiral of performances and results. Ewood has rarely been an intimidating place for other clubs to come and play and it is music to their ears when the booers and moaners can be heard above the vocal support for the home team.

None of the current mess is of the fans' making but we can do a lot to help ourselves.

Starting on Saturday we should get Ewood bouncing and do our bit to kindle the small sparks of recovery which recent performances have shown.

6 months short-term contract ?

Looks like Venkys are saying 2 things -

1 - They doubt they can make the right decision (any Rovers fan could have told them that 18 months ago).

2 - They have no confidance that their "advisors" can give them "proper" advice.

I still don't know why Rovers fans are so anti Billy Davis ??

You want an experienced, championship manager who, like Souness will stand up to interfiering morons like Shebby.

BD has guided 3 different clubs to the play offs in the championship - christ, how much more sucess and experience do you want/need than that.

Rovers fans need to get REAL, we arnt going to get players like Samba nor are we going to attract TOP, in vogue managers.

So apart from Hughes and Davies, who would realistically tick all the required boxes ??

And please don't say Bowyer - good luck whilst he's in charge but he is a COACH, he DOSENT want the job, he will have Shebby sticking his or in, making him pick players/leave others out - Hughes/Davies would not accept this - and that is what we need.

A manager who can be allowed to manage WITHOUT any interferance.

Best advice Venkys can take right now - Shaw, Agnew, Singh - sack the lot of them and replace them with 1 PROPER CEO like Tom Finn or Paul Hunt.

I have listened to Gary Bowyers interview several times now and not once has he said he is not interested in the job full time. Sky Sports have said he isn't interested. Maybe if people would make their own minds up rather than believe every bit of media hype they see or hear they would have a better understanding.

Do yourself a favour, listen to the quotes, read the quotes and not the headlines.
