every manager only managed for 8 games at some point in their career....!

He was born in Blackburn

King kenny has been advising shebby singh to go for alan shearer according to a few papers

Hope he can speak Punjabi & Portuguese

Runners and riders line up for the Ewood Park handicap as follows:
ALAN SHEARER: the choice of fans who want a manager who has never been a manger before (see also Tim Sherwood)
ROY KEANE: the manager most likely to use physical violence in early meetings against Shabby, Venkys, Hendry, etc. Consequently, a very attractive candidate, but unlikely to be favoured. (see also Graeme Souness).
ERIC BLACK: the leading candidate and owners favourite. Studied under the footballing genius Steve Kean and works cheap. No relocation expenses necessary. Does not like to use substitutes during games further reducing overheads.
HARRY REDKNAPP ('arry): likely to be a leading candidate if Ewood Park is moved to Canford Cliffs, Poole. Heavily followed by HM Revenue and Customs.
"KING" KENNY DALGLISH: the strong preference of supporters still in the 1980's. Unlikely to get to the starting gate in time for the "off".
MICK McCARTHY: no bloody good and does not try to disguise it, his candidacy is based upon honesty and plain speaking as his foremost virtues. Therefore, not favoured by the Global Adviser (see Shabby Singh)
SHABBY "GLOBAL ADVISER" SINGH: stupid, but not stupid enough to let himself be put into a position where his job retention depends upon delivering results. Would only be attracted by a more grandiose job title. (see also looky-likey Charlie Chaplin).
COLIN HENDRY: the pick of pensioners fancying a little flutter with their life savings.
IAN HOLLOWAY: why would anyone leave a position at a third rate club with very limited resources, in a woebegone northern seaside resort, to come to Ewood Park under Venkys? The fantasists' choice.
BFS: the rightful manager, but now making too much money now from suing Venkys, suing Kean etc to spend time on job applications.
JOSE MOURINHO: unlikely to wish to be considered because the job is too hard (see also Sir North Stand)
BRENDAN RODGERS: desperate, but not that desperate (yet).
SVEN GORAN ERICSSON: the ladies favourite. Particularly fancied by Mama Desai (see also Jimmy Savile)
OLE GUNNER SOLSKIAR: a very good candidate; very unlikely to get to the interview stage (see BFS)
JOURDAIN ALI: the worst candidate of all; highly likely to be the chosen winner (see Steve Kean)
BERND SCHUSTER: where can you aspire to go after managing Real Madrid? Why, of course, Ewood Park! The bet of those who believe Pep Guardiola is going to be the next manager of Burnley.
MAHATMA GHANDI: likely to find football management (and chicken strangling) morally repugnant.

Shearer isn`t coming here to play,he`s retired . Sorry to state the obvious but that is the only conclusion I can think of that some want him back, Look what happened with the last inexperienced manager we had ,have you already forgotten?

Venkys are understood to be looking for someone who shares their passing football philosophy. Fans will be greatly surprised to read about Venkys passing football philosophy since after two years of ownership Rovers are unable to string two passes together and then only in a backwards direction.
If we are looking for someone who shares Venkys philosophy of football then perhaps we should be looking for a manager from the world of ice skating or stamp collecting.

To advocates of the young ex-player manager, have you forgotten the debacle that was Paul Ince?

Coyle sacked at Bolton, be at Ewood soon, cheap and a Scot,perfect

COYLE SACKED

It's a tricky one. Mark Hughes had never managed at club level before he took over but he'd done a fantastic job with Wales. Shearer didn't have enough time to prove himself at Newcastle but I still don't think he's the right man for Rovers, at least not at the moment.

We've just been put through the mill on the back of someone doing their managerial apprenticeship at our club. I don't think it would be fair on the fans to put them through it all again so soon after Kean's disastrous tenure.

Bernd Schuster would be an interesting appointment, purely for his interviews. He's like a cross between Sir Alex Ferguson and Ian Holloway...

Nuttier than squirrel s**t!

Sorry mate lol but at least we are on the same wave length.

Coyle a decent man , tried to play football, the problem there is Bolton are skint !

We note Coyle`s coaching staff his assistant and his defensive coach have all been relieved of their duties ,that is the honourable way to change management , instead we have Black/Hendry scaping around looking to take advantage of the guy who hired them , BLACK/HENDRY please give Rovers the chance to rebuild, you two hanging around like a bad smell is counter productive.

Wouldn't hang around too long before pinning someone to the job ...

The list missed out four other possibilities:

Benitez (out of work now and he would come - if he cannot get the Liverpool job off Rodgers this week) - Rafa has an average percentage win ratio of 52% - the highest of all the experienced possibilities.

Svennis - Sweden's love machine would love to back managing in England - his average percentage win ratio is almost 52% the same as Rafa. A strange guy but a very effective manager.

Owen Coyle - Freshly sacked today and deservedly so by the Trotters (Cheap option as he wouldn't need to move house)

Mark (we will never be in this position again) Hughes - who could be sacked later this week or even later today.

The Coyle sacking and possibly Hughes too complicate matters further for the Rovers as there are now more available managers positions to fill!

Get a flipping move on Shebby...

LOL you can add Owen Coyle to that list, though Peter Reid is a strong dark horse having managed in Thailand and is familiar to ESPN.

More stalling from Con Man Shebby.
Get some one in NOW!!!!!!!!!!! This WEEK. !!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

Reid has been on the SAME ESPN football pundit panel as Shebby and Steve McMahon, bases in Singapore but goes all around SE Asia, .

Reid last job was Plymouth ,then before that assistant to Tony Pullis at Stoke ,then before that the Thai national coach might be difficult for Reid these days as about 65% of the players playing today are foreigners , might be a COMMUNICATION problem !!!!!!!

Rovers owners are still believed to be open minded, empty headed would be nearer the mark!

Have to say I've not laughed as much at the comments on LT for a while, shouts out to midas and Nuttall Street.

They'd better get this right given the amount of potential candidates...

The list of potential managers with NO experience of English football seems to grow by the hour - where are they all coming from? My fear is that our clueless owners, and SS will be seduced by a so called big name, and make a horrendous mistake. Without knowing for sure who has actually applied for the job, I am not putting any names forward, suffice to say, I would not touch half of the alleged interested parties with a barge pole - to many has beens, or untried ex players, and unknowns.

The situation at Bolton has also now further complicated the picture - anyone care to bet they have a new manager before us?

Really hope I'm wrong, but I can see this all ending in tears yet again - I have no faith whatsoever in the Three Stooges and Venky's!

SHYSTERS GET OUT OF OUR CLUB

All potential candidates now have an option, Rovers or Bolton, They can chose between a well run club with a knowledgeable chairman, or a mad house run by a bunch of mad hatters with only knowledge of chickens.

Well we can go for Owen Coyle now that should get someones backs up ha! ha!

Owen Coyle would be a much better bet than high-profile foreign managers.

nice little double..

Howe back to Bournemouth
Coyle back to dingleland

Exactly right.

Sir Alex was once a manager with only 8 games experience.
Every manager was.

Shearer might not be the answer to our problems, but there's an equal chance that he would be.

He would certainly bang a few heads together, get the fans united with the club again and command huge respect.

Imagine what Rhodes could do under Shearer's tutelage...

Experience in football madness and arrange 11 players to win the game on each week for the season, it is hard work and Planing - this type of managers need in Ewood. No fashion/business/big football club managers/ big names. Proven record as manager who guides 30 players in the club with a vision to success. FANS need to be happy and players too.

Am I the only one who see's the striking similarities between this statement and previous situations at ewood?

"bide our time"
"make sure we get it right"
"keep supporting Black"
"Black is preparing the players"
"It has been a very difficult week for Eric, with three games in seven days"
"We could make a decision in a week, it could take three weeks, I will not let circumstances dictate."

Sounds remarkably similar to the "we will decide steve keans future" statements.

In other words, we are keeping Black at the helm and were going to lead you on that we are looking for a new manager when all we really want to do is wait for Black to string 2 or 3 wins together so that we can offer him a professional contract and claim he's the right man for the job.

I promise you this Rovers faithful, they have brought thier chosen men in already, for whatever reason Kean wasn't sacked will be the same reason Black won't be sacked. There is an arrangement in place whereby someone else is picking the team and Black/Kean are jus figureheads who are so spineless they will let it happen and take home a fat pay cheque.

Your comments are spot on, I think its crossed everyone`s mind that the powers that be (whoever is really behind all the cunning ) have decided on Black/Hendry and maybe the Kean thing was just show ,they knew with Kean in charge it was never going to work , even though he possibly still is in charge , maybe we are going through a bit of showboating till Black manages to get a win ,and they declare we have a good man here ,why bother with a outsider ! perhaps the 2 draws and a defeat brought their cunning sly plan to a screaming halt and it will be restarted once there`s a win or two to boast about, if they do that it will be goodbye for ever.

Let them take their time, the main thing is to get he right person. This season could be a write off anyway in order to rectify the mess left by Kean, advisors and his cronies. Play off place an outside possibility!

Come on you Blues!!

Or they could wait a little while longer and go to Burnley when their manager moves on to Bournemouth. Ah! but why would they? Burnley not exactly a good move.

Who wants to manage a club where they cannot MANAGE?? Whoever the manager is will not have the final say!!! Whoever is running the club is making all the decisions! They just need to find there new "YES MAN"!!

Sven Goren was in line for the job in Jack's time but went to Lazio, I think, and we got Roy Hogson. I agree with all the posters who put it down to the unpredictability of Mme Desai who will decide. The only certainty then is that this iappointment will defy all footballing logic. Hope I am wrong

The owners have a "passing football philosophy" ?. The way they have run our club could mean that we are passing into history.

If they do that it will be goodbye forever (until venky's go bust) for me, 1k at every home game from then on in and a club in freefall.

It's called reading between the lines.
Do you really believe all this tripe? What club takes months over EVERY single decision? You can see the lies in Shebbys eyes when he speaks.

Now Bolton need a manager and guess who will get one first, i fully expect Bolton like any normal club to have an appointment by early next week at the latest.

We are being strung along by the same set of lies, are you actually sat there looking at your monitor saying "yes, yes Shebby we need to take our time over this one and make sure Black is in charge for the next game JUST incase we don't get a manager in, he is doing a great job with the lads and we are looking like a good unit under him".

Wake up man, Venkys are playing for time yet again and we all just eat out of thier hands as they mock us from afar. If Schuster and Clemente have put thier CV's into the ring then what else is to discuss? We have our choice of experienced managers, why wait til "thursday".... possibly because this is close to the weekend so no approaches will be made until next week? Then the "approach" may be dragged out over a few weeks whilst Venky's pray that Black gets one win so they can hail him as a man with great prospects.

It's all fine having an opinion, but don't pretend to know more than everyone else. Comments what you have said are truly unbelievable, you promise all Rover's fans that Black is the new manager! Unless your name is Agnew or Shaw you know nothing. As for reading between the lines you are bad at that too, this process is what all clubs go through and we didn't go through it when we sacked big Sam. I would happily bet you a tenner that our next manager would not be Black, but i don't know and neither do you so please stop promising what you don't know about. As Well i'm sure you tried to "read between the lines" with Rhodes and said no way Venky's will spend that sort of money, they will just go for the cheap option, how did that turn out! Protest against Venkys on your own, no excuses will stop me having a pint and supporting my team! They put their money in now it's time to turn up and stop the moaning even if we get Shearer which a lot don't want . Support your team it's in your blood.

Venky's never wanted Kean to go so of course they're going to f*** it up. Expect Black/Hendry until the end of the season with Judan Ali joining the coaching staff to be groomed as a future No.1. This farce still has legs...

The Bookies all seem to think that our next manager will be someone with a lot of experience in the game - but with no proper managerial experience.

Shearer and Sherwood and Ole Gunnar are still all very close together as the bookies favourites between 3-1 and 11-4 in the betting along with Mad Mick MacC (but he thankfully looks tied-on for the Bolton job now).

The rest seem to be also-rans according to the Bookies, as even Black is now at 10-1.

But as good as the Bookies usually are - maybe this time they have not reckoned with the V factor - as Venky's will probably have some surprise in store for us all yet.

What a bloody mess the likes of Kean, Singh,Agnew Venkys and hangers on Black and Hendry have left this club in - The Venkys dont know the meaning of the words Football Passion doubt they know that we have to 'score' to win - unfortunately we need a clear out of all the buffoons that run this club but I cant see this happening!!
OUT WITH BLACK HENDRY SINGH AGNEW VENKYS

We are now competing with Bolton for the same managerial candidates and guess which club is a bettter proposition? These idiots will drag their feet till we either have bolton left overs or Eric Black. They did this when Sam was sacked. Talked about looking for a world class manager. It was all flannel and they are just leading us along and breaking it to us gradually as they did with Kean

I said it before, the current statements from Ewood bear a striking resemblance to those following the ruthless sacking of Allardyce and the appointment of the odious Kean. ie Give the fans a bit of hope by putting out that there plenty of attractive options available until things quieten down a bit then give it to "their man," Black! Hope i'm wrong.

Shearer or Sherwood !! PLEASE NO ,no,no,no what is the problem bringing in a experienced manager ?
lLook Shearer made a pigs ear out of the time he was manager at Newcastle , and by the way he wanted to stay after he got them relegated ,it was Newcastle United that said "no chance" and shoo`d him out the door ,Newcastle united know better than us great player ,but he`s no manager, people say " Newcastle were struggling when he came in" which is true but he never had the managerial ability to turn it around.
Sherwood has NO experience never managed a team ever ! so NO.
Look at the other ex player from that era Hendry that has made a complete and total mess of every managers job he has had, and look at the mess our "defensive" coach is making of this job he has at Rovers that his drinking pal Kean gave him.
LOOK GET AN EXPERIENCED MANAGER IN OR ITS GONNA BE MORE OF THE SAME.

http://www.bbc.co.uk

Since when was he injured ?

Pep Guardiola is out of work? Maybe?

Just noticed the betting at William Hills for the next Bolton Wanderers manager McCarthy is even money 1/1 and Solskjaer is 6/4 would suggest to Singh/Rovers please have a little bit more haste in making your decision the man you want, might not be available in 3 weeks by the time you make your "decision" .

Also note the first 8 managers on Wanderers list /favourites for the job at the Reabok are all very,very experienced managers.
Singh look and learn,experience is what we need right now, Kean had no management experience ,Keans chums Hendry and Black the only experience they have had in coaching/management is as complete failures .

I hope they don't appoint someone on the cheap again....It's par for the course with Venky's though and that's why we're in this mess. Have they learned anything from the disasters of the last two years ?

Come on Venkys, pull your fingers out

Heard from a mate in Bolton that Gartside had put his feelers out and the top of Bolton's list is the same as the one at Bol-Ewood.

He had to act fast so he can gazump the fatherless.

Mind you whoever is it is, would you want a chairman who has a good command of English and lives locally or global advising clown with a hitler tash !?

Not to mention the fans, who, aladyce wasnt good enough for them, the current England manager wasnt good enough, and if they're not 100 points clear by Christmas, will be met with disgusting vile and venomous personal abuse week in week out.

Looks like they'll be stuck with Eric.

Shearer isn`t coming here to play,he`s retired . Sorry to state the obvious but that is the only conclusion I can think of that some want him back, Look what happened with the last inexperienced manager we had ,have you already forgotten?

I would think Shearer is a little bit more experienced than Kean....look at their playing record for starters. The most important attributes are respect from the supporters, the squad and the management....then you've got a chance. Lose any one of those and the rest soon follow...then results go bad. I think Kean had about 33% of one of those and perhaps 5% for the other two. If the club dilly dallies for much longer they could find Bolton taking the best candidate.

Are we competing with Bolton? Will big continental names be in the frame for the Bolton job? What have Bolton actually won in the last twenty years? Apart from a couple of European exploits under sam not a lot. Blackburn Rovers has regularly been competing in europe until fairly recently. people said who'd want the job if kean went. well it seems some pretty big names want the job. Even with the venky factor this is still a sort after managers job

The fans don't want Sherwood. There is little respect for the man after the way he acted toward the end of his Ewood career. This is just Shebby wanting to employ another of his ESPN buddies (see also Hendry). Hendry knows he'd be out of a job with any other manager.

Shearer or Sherwood !! PLEASE NO ,no,no,no what is the problem bringing in a experienced manager ? lLook Shearer made a pigs ear out of the time he was manager at Newcastle , and by the way he wanted to stay after he got them relegated ,it was Newcastle United that said "no chance" and shoo`d him out the door ,Newcastle united know better than us great player ,but he`s no manager, people say " Newcastle were struggling when he came in" which is true but he never had the managerial ability to turn it around. Sherwood has NO experience never managed a team ever ! so NO. Look at the other ex player from that era Hendry that has made a complete and total mess of every managers job he has had, and look at the mess our "defensive" coach is making of this job he has at Rovers that his drinking pal Kean gave him. LOOK GET AN EXPERIENCED MANAGER IN OR ITS GONNA BE MORE OF THE SAME.

...it would have to be Mick (promotion with two different clubs & 40% win rate) McCarthy then....but Bolton will appoint him before these idiots have had time to figure out how to switch a computer on and type up a shortlist!

Dark horse - Danny Murphy for player-manager. Cheap option and would keep him off the pitch.
Jourdan Ali given a coaching post would play well among the chicken nugget munchers in Pune.
Money's the key, not ability.
If you knew what you were doing, like having some knowledge about how to get out of the Championship, viz. McCarthy, would you sign for Bolton owned by a local millionaire who knows where the ground is and goes there, or Venkys. If he doesn't get the Wanderers job, Peter Reid is possibly one of the better (sorry cheaper) options.

Folks don't panic
With Notts Forest and now Leeds likely to get new owners Rovers WILL in my opinion get this one right. Don't know why after everything they have done to date.
As for top names the NW has ( City's rise has enhanced it) a big attraction with managers, and players. Jet set lifestyle and more importantly a part of the world / country the WAGS are prepared for their other halves to move to for a footballing job.
Do you think Shearer would consider a move back to Blackburn if his misses wasn't happy to move back down here. Why does Roy Keane still banker after staying when he has a 1.5 million a year deal in Turkey I think.
Liverpool City United jet set and WAGs culture.
Most live on the Southport coast or posh South Manchester Alderley Edge
set.
Harvey Nichs / Armani etc in Manchester.

You don't get that any where else but London.

So for these reasons ( and probably not the right reasons) there will always be big names interested in good NW clubs

I think they will opt for what we would all perceive to be a big name

I don't know why however I think they will get it right. Prepared to eat my words if they don't.

Blackburn next play at Derby on 20 October and Singh indicated that Black remains in contention for the job full-time. "If we had a game on Saturday, the whole scenario changes, but we now have two weeks before the next game. It has been a very difficult week for Eric, with three games in seven days, and there is a lot of pressure on him. He will be taking day-to-day charge while we are firming up what we need to do and we know we are in safe hands."

I fear the worst with this lots track record
Black would cost nothing and he is on mr Anderson's books
I hope im wrong, but I fear them dragging this out til Black gets a win and they then give the job to him

If Venkys did go for Shearer, how many of you would get behind him and how many would go back to or continue boycotting? Could you imagine a situation where Shearer was getting flak as a manager from Rovers fans ? (I know he did as a returning Newcastle player). I would support any manager as long as he is clearly not from Venkys or JA school of thieves. Cant believe some were booing Black on saturday. Hurling abuse seems to be innate in some.

Id support shearer all the way. I know everyone is talking about experience and the only manager with experience would consider coming to us is mccarthy but wouldnt want him and anyway he will probably end up at bolton. Im defo in favour of shearer

Actually Matt despite your strange fashionista rant about the glories of Manchester and the WAGS? - there is both a Harvey Nicks and an Armani in Birmingham too - plus Harvey Nicks are also in Leeds and Bristol and Edinburgh et al...so not really exclusive to the NW.
maybe they don't mind living around Manchester or Merseyside cos they cant see where they are - as it rains so hard all the time?

But give a monkey enough 'peanuts' and they will live and play and manage anywhere...just hope the Venkys are willing to part with a good chunk of their store of peanuts..

To be a brilliant manager you have to work hard,appear to know a lot about football, and promise the earth. Don't need a track record.

its all going to end in tears ! we wanted Kean gone but the venkies remain, no matter who they bring in it won't change the fact that the owners are clueless. maybe they are waiting for Hughes to get sacked! Agh but he likes to work with money, Ron Atkinson would be a laugh with the mad Indians !!!

I fear if this is the case Dr Zinc the fans will return to their boycott of games and the gates will be a lot lower than previous this season. Make no mistake this is Venkys last chance to get it right if they fail us again then they will be in the fans crosshairs and they will get both barrels and deservedly so.

Good post,but i am getting worried.There are 2 jobs to fill now,and only 538 potential managers to fill them.
Let's just hope Bolton appoint theirs first,just so the moaners on here can cry all day that we should have had him,whoever he is.

"Patience", Shebby asks. If patience is a God's given gift, please God give me mine now! How much longer? I've seen Murphy move quicker than this lot can draw up a simple short-list. Much longer and it will run longer than "Les Miserables" (that's a musical from the French Revolution when the revolutionaries manned the barricades and eventually chopped off the heads of the 'management ' - I'm sure 'French Rover' will confirm).

I like the bit about the owners looking for someone with a "passing football" philosophy. Now let's not get technical, Venky's / Mrs. D, assuming you said that bit (sounds like Shebby or Agnew, to me). Do you really mean someone with a "passing knowledge of football"? e.g.: Black, Hendry, Shearer and some Indian Coach we have never heard of (but Mrs. D. likes).

They are "taking their time" because Venky's are in unchartered territory here.....actually looking to employ someone with the attributes to succeed. Unfortunately the ones tasked with employing this individual come from their previous criteria.

with the risk of Black becoming manager I am undecided if I want us to win at Derby if he is still in charge.especially if it is true that his agent is JA

Seriously Clemente could be a wise choice, he has vast knowledge of the Spanish la liga and ok , barca and Real Madrid players wouldn't come to ewood, but there are a lot of clubs iwith serious debts and players could be inticed to follow him

"We could make a decision in a week, it could take three weeks, I will not let circumstances dictate", "It could be a shortlist of one, it could be a shortlist of three or four"

Usual double talk from Singh; there is always a lot of it but nothing is ever said.

Interesting the owners who knew nothing (and all evidence suggests still do not know anything) about football and happily watched Kean's half-a$$ed hoofball for two years actually have a "passing football philosophy".

My ar$e.

These people are an absolute and total joke. They do not have idea one about what they are doing. You'd think even they realise they cannot afford to give Black the job, but the worry is they don't and they will.

I thought it was more a "Rabbit in the headlights" philosophy; or "Run a football club like a KFC" philosophy or how about "Take advice from individuals driven totally by self interest and allow ourselves to be screwed" philosophy.

Things do not seem to have improved at Ewood since the departure of SK. Three games and just two points including some pretty woeful football. The Venkys (again) should get a grip and appoint the most experienced manager available to take this (very difficult) task on. Black is certainly not the answer by a mile; totally under qualified plus tarred with SK. However for some strange reason the Venkys are in no rush as if things are going swimmingly well at Ewood; just take your time.

Venky's never wanted Kean to go so of course they're going to f*** it up. Expect Black/Hendry until the end of the season with Judan Ali joining the coaching staff to be groomed as a future No.1. This farce still has legs...

Anyone fancy a bet on SS appointing himself?

Fantastic Club it is Matt, despite almost two years of mismanagement of it by Kean and our owners. Now Shebby continues the debacle with his 'give us time we will not be rushed' mantra.

Sod not rushing....we have been in the sanity borderlands and the Venky wilderness for too long already, each new day has been filled with energy sapping frustration and desperation as the silliness piled on our club grows day by day ...

SS do whatever you are going to do by Monday. (Not 3 weeks from now)

Give us a decent (even half decent will do!) manager and put us out of our misery and let us get back to our enjoying our football and moving back up the table and back into the Prem.

It's OK, we'll just sit down, take our time, look at who's in the hat, and draw up a list ... BY WHICH TIME IT WILL BE TOO F*CKING LATE, YOU TOOLS, only Notlob's cast-offs will be left

Hi Guys,

What about Glenn Hoddle for Manager?

I understand he is a excellent coach and highly rated throughout europe.

He will bring an attractive style of play.

I believe he revolutionised Chelsea before the Abram era.

He improved the like of Eddie Newton, Frank Sinclair and he records speaks for itself.

His time at England was tainted not for footballing reasons but for non footballing comments.

He would be the one of top of my list.

Sherwood was instrumental in a trying to instigate a players revolt against the manager ,Hoddle while he was playing under him at Tottenham , Sherwood behaved like a spoilt child ,spat the dummy out because he got dropped , he said "he will never play for Hoddle again" wonder how he would cope if a player done that to him if he was manager.

Sck of hearing about all these links already! Bolton fans are now talking about the same people. I think you can guarantee that our new man will have links with Kentaro and a certain puppet master. Bolton will no doubt get the man they want, and we will be left with the man these charlatans want. I hope I'm wrong but untill there is a complete clear out of these clowns we are going to continue with the sad demise of a once great club.

Don't worry about Coyle, if he got offered Rovers job he'd jump at it. He likes the smell of money too much to be worried about working for the circus ringmasters and loyalty doesn't come high on his priorities list.
Amazing though how differently the clubs are run, Bolton gave him the bullet at the right time, relegation followed by a bad start with poor defending to blame. Rovers kept giving SK chance after chance , one disaster to the next and only finally succumbed when fans threatened a total boycott of wolves game.
This indicates to me they'll appoint faster than us without all the bull5hit of the "shebby shortlist". Another indication of the farce than these clowns are running
Only good thing of getting greedy Coyle is , it would spice up our visit to the dingles in December, especially if they've got SK to replace rentboy Howe when he's decided he has to go back to a bigger club and heads for the south coast

The man called Clemente, he says 'Yes'

By all mean form a short list but,the outstanding candidate if he is interested has got to be OLe Gunnar the club should move quickly,otherwise he will be signing for the Wanderers

By all mean form a short list but,the outstanding candidate if he is interested has got to be OLe Gunnar the club should move quickly,otherwise he will be signing for the Wanderers

think the best man for the job right now is Eric Black. His enterprising brand of football may not have reaped immediate dividends but in time it will. Surely.

Of course, Black was Kean's understudy and he is no Steve Kean, as the lack of goals demonstrate. But he is very good at standing around with Colin Hendry - a.k.a "THE ORC" who sulkily chews on his gum offering nothing except aggression towards elderly neighbours when they ask for a portion of their life savings back.

However, two hard drinking Scottish deadbeats are more than adequate for a club of your stature. You used to manage with just one! While Kean left you and is soon to sue for constructive dismissal (a case he will most certainly win just as soon as the judge sees Shebby's comical peformance at the fans' meeting), you will just have to make do with his self appointed replacement - Mr Black.

I'd like to see a bit more of Shebby around the dug out. Him and Hendry could have fruitful discussions about the midfield tactics, and these could be passed on to Black, who would benefit greatly from Shebby and Colin's experience. Perhaps he could instruct Jordan Rhodes to go and steal his next door neighbour's life savings on a rare forward raid?

I trust you find this advice to be of use.

Or you could just appoint Alan Shearer. And then I will laugh my f*ucking head off.

Go ahead....make my day”

Its beginning to feel as though it`s going to be a decision for the manager based on cost , I think they know they won`t get away with Black (3 very poor results) I THINK their preferred option,because its the cheapest option.
So they are going to simply bring in probably a ex-player (no experience in management so should be quite cheap) probably not Sherwood , Spurs want 3 million pounds release contract they wont pay that,so unless they do it looks like Shearer , and they will keep both Keans mates Black the nonentity/bland person and Hendry ,Keans big pal, driver ,drinking partner ,and bully and swindler of old peoples life savings.

Don`t forget they look at their transfer buys like Rhodes and Best as investments that they can sell on and hopefully make a nice few million on it
sometime down the track.

You say of Colin Hendry:

"Hendry ,Keans big pal, driver ,drinking partner ,and bully and swindler of old peoples life savings."

You forgot to mention he is a bloo.dy good impersonator of an ORC.

I was wondering why did they bother having a body guard for Kean when there's that massive ugly f*uck.

Surely those bullying swindling skills come in useful when you're stood about by the dug out doing exactly bog all except for chewing gum? No? Perhaps I got it wrong

I would think Shearer is a little bit more experienced than Kean....look at their playing record for starters. The most important attributes are respect from the supporters, the squad and the management....then you've got a chance. Lose any one of those and the rest soon follow...then results go bad. I think Kean had about 33% of one of those and perhaps 5% for the other two. If the club dilly dallies for much longer they could find Bolton taking the best candidate.

I don't think comparing their playing records is a good way to big up Shearer; I think you'll find Keane wins that hands down.

He also has much more experience in management.

Not that I would want Mr Angry but, on paper at least, he would make more sense. And they'd be able to sell season tickets for his monthly meetings with Venkys. Especially after a long flight to India.

Now that would be entertaining.

Am I the only one who see's the striking similarities between this statement and previous situations at ewood?

"We could make a decision in a week, it could take three weeks, I will not let circumstances dictate."

Sounds remarkably similar to the "we will decide steve keans future" statements.

In other words, we are keeping Black at the helm and were going to lead you on that we are looking for a new manager when all we really want to do is wait for Black to string 2 or 3 wins together so that we can offer him a professional contract and claim he's the right man for the job.

I promise you this Rovers faithful, they have brought thier chosen men in already, for whatever reason Kean wasn't sacked will be the same reason Black won't be sacked. There is an arrangement in place whereby someone else is picking the team and Black/Kean are jus figureheads who are so spineless they will let it happen and take home a fat pay cheque.

And you know this how? Assumptions are the mother of all **** ups

It's called reading between the lines.
Do you really believe all this tripe? What club takes months over EVERY single decision? You can see the lies in Shebbys eyes when he speaks.

Now Bolton need a manager and guess who will get one first, i fully expect Bolton like any normal club to have an appointment by early next week at the latest.

We are being strung along by the same set of lies, are you actually sat there looking at your monitor saying "yes, yes Shebby we need to take our time over this one and make sure Black is in charge for the next game JUST incase we don't get a manager in, he is doing a great job with the lads and we are looking like a good unit under him".

Wake up man, Venkys are playing for time yet again and we all just eat out of thier hands as they mock us from afar. If Schuster and Clemente have put thier CV's into the ring then what else is to discuss? We have our choice of experienced managers, why wait til "thursday".... possibly because this is close to the weekend so no approaches will be made until next week? Then the "approach" may be dragged out over a few weeks whilst Venky's pray that Black gets one win so they can hail him as a man with great prospects.

It's all fine having an opinion, but don't pretend to know more than everyone else. Comments what you have said are truly unbelievable, you promise all Rover's fans that Black is the new manager! Unless your name is Agnew or Shaw you know nothing. As for reading between the lines you are bad at that too, this process is what all clubs go through and we didn't go through it when we sacked big Sam. I would happily bet you a tenner that our next manager would not be Black, but i don't know and neither do you so please stop promising what you don't know about. As Well i'm sure you tried to "read between the lines" with Rhodes and said no way Venky's will spend that sort of money, they will just go for the cheap option, how did that turn out! Protest against Venkys on your own, no excuses will stop me having a pint and supporting my team! They put their money in now it's time to turn up and stop the moaning even if we get Shearer which a lot don't want . Support your team it's in your blood.

Well your one of the very few who doesn't hold this opinion. Nowhere have I said that I have any sort of insider info, i'm just pointing out the obvious. I know some Rovers fans just trot down to Ewood every week, not caring about the team, the performances, the manager, the owners, they jus sit in the bar drinking the whole match not even glancing up at the tv.

Football is a "something to tell my mates i did on saturday" when you absolutely no clue what is transpiring. Do you really believe Venky's forked out £8mil for Rhodes from thier back pockets? It's widely reported the £8mil was taken directly from parachute payments. Rhodes would be nowhere near our club if we didn't have that cash. I'd love to see the Venky's balance books because im fairly confident they have made money since they started at brfc.

The fact that your club has been shat on for the last 3 years by the same people and YOU STILL believe they are going to do right by the club this time is testament only to your blind faith.

Fancy me coming round to your house doing some contract work? I won't turn up for a few weeks and then ill do a bit and walk away claiming i need "more time" and im sure you'll understand, then i'll tag an extra charge onto the bill, thats the professional way to go about things and you don't know for sure that I wont be back so im sure you'll keep your faith in me and continue to reccomend me to your friends and family.

Most people don't like being pee'd on but you seem to stand there head tward the sky with your mouth open.
