McCarthy and Keane's only claim to any managerial success is in taking teams out of the Championship - which to be fair is what we need right now.

But they both failed so miserably in the Prem....

McCarthy struggled for two seasons to just about keep Wolves in the Prem and then got sacked as they plunged down and out last season (remember they even finished below the Rovers!)

Keane took Sunderland up in style then he struggled for a season and a half until he got sacked after five defeats out of six games and with Sunderland in a relegation spot. He then made a right **** of things at Ipswich in the Championship over the last two seasons and was sacked in Jan this year.

Yes at least one of them would probably have a good go at getting us out of this darned league - but then they both look very likely to bring us back down again almost straight away.

Players have a 'level' that they can be successful at - seems like managers do also.

We want more hope for the future of the Rovers than that....

French Rover , your correct ,I can`t argue with your comments about what happened to these to guys once they brought their respective teams up from the championship to the premier league , but they do have all the experience of taking a team out of the championship to the premiership.
If you are looking for a manager that will take Rovers up and challenge for the premier league ,thats impossible.
If you want a manager that will take them up and consolidate them in the premier , Souness, Allardyce ,Curbishley but they are not available.

Don`t think there would be a person in the world that you could get any better advice about this situation that Tony Parkes , but are the powers that be listening ? Will they bring in an unproven manager ,an big time charlie ex player, then they will be taking a massive gamble . If they bring in a inexperienced guy and they do not shape up ,and you never know how inexperienced guys will go , look at our ex-players , Shearer tenure as manager at Newcastle United ,maybe only for a short time but he failed,Newcastle United did not want him back, Hendry has been an unmitigated disaster when it comes to management ,and the so called "defensive" coach is proving to be inadequate at that job also. The two guys that are spoken about a lot that have actually brought a club up from the championship to premier league that have the experience are Roy Keane and Mick McCarthy there will be opposition to either one,always will be people who don`t like someone , but these two guys they have been there and they have done it in the past, that is our best chance not only for promotion but to steady this very rocky ship and to stop us sliding down leagues.. The wrong decision we could go into freefall , but have a look a few miles west of us at Preston North End ,a few years ago they were a game away from the premier league ,look where they are now , that fate could be round the corner if we pick an inexperienced guy.

We are still on the slide created by the dismissal of Big Sam. Like it or loathe it, it will not be "pretty" football that will get us out of this league and back into the Premiership. We do not have the resources to be showponies.

I think (hope!!!!) Shabby is a bit more switch than we give him credit. He was brought in by the lads 'cos their sister would not sack Kean. Kean has now gone, despite (and it hates me to say it) actually having a reasonable run in the division. He also conveniently resigned, so not costing any money.

Shabby is on the record, saying Kean should go before he took the job, I think, behind the scenes, was responsible for getting rid of him. I think it is to much of a coincidence Kean has left so soon after Shabby joined given the catalogue of disasters Kean survived before. If, and it is a big if, this is the case, I think we will be appointing a class manager soon.

However, I might be wrong...............

Yeah maybe. Of course, everything else 'The Management' have done since they took over has been great, so no need to worry then?

I understand your comments - but I am not that naive as base everything on the one game I saw live. Yes I went to that game and enjoyed it immensely but I have also seen Rovers other games on the internet et al and I am as entitled and as well positioned to make my opinions as you are. Murphy is a decent player - but he is not showing it at the moment.

Also guys there is such a thing as being too close to everything to have any proper perspective...

I also think you are doing the squad an injustice - as there are not many (if any) players in the Rovers 'best 11' that I would swap for other Championship players.

Open your eyes guys and see what is about elsewhere in the championship, most of it is rubbish.

How d you think it was possible for Kean to take us on that unbeaten run and to the top of the league if we have such a poor squad?

Bazzer two weeks ago you said you were handing out reallity pills,it seems that only benal swallowed his.Sorry French Rover but this is not a strong squad it lacks pace it lacks players in key positions and relegation is nearer than promotion unlees we get a very capable manager and 4-5 new players in January.I love Rovers and always wnt them to do well but sometimes a little realism is needed it helps soften the blow when things go astray. OGS is my choice he has done well in management,Fergie thought highly of him as a coach and was loathe to let him go.Plus there are some decent players around in scandinavia and he will know who they are.

If Rovers don't go up, it's the Pompey scenario, a descent through the divisions, bankruptcy etc.
Of course there are some desperate ex-managers and would be managers out there, but Rovers are desperate, too. So who's desperate enough to take the job on Venkys terms, clearly a job under the guidance (don't laugh) of Shebby.
Even the Chuckle Brothers could see Black isn't up to the job - and by the by - the next time they are smoking in the stands, i reckon someone should dial 999 for the fire brigade.
They could make a s...t or bust appointment. Rhodes in a way is such a gamble. An exciting appointment would put another 3,000 on the gate and the deadline for season tickets is 19th October so an imaginative appintment would see an immediate cash flow improvement.
Parkes is absolutely right, this is an epoch-making decision. My money is on a mediocre, delayed appointment.
When faced with great decision before, like sacking Kean when it was clear at the end of the 2011 that he wasn't up to it, the Venkys are been so muddled they've "passed".
Peter Reid offered to continue managing Plymouth for free when they were in financial stuck, that should make him attractive to Venkys.

Eddie, spot on. I also believe many lads who cannot break through into Prem teams are out and about in the Championship and a lot of them are making Rovers look weak individually. The situation is worsened by the abject lack of managerial competence.
French Rover...surely you remember the Bristol City number 10?

Good points, but to your unbeaten run. Not much of a run, was it? Those who witnessed the matches at first hand saw a lucky team which was outplayed most of the time. Most notably by Barnsley.
When it comes to a "proper perspective" I rather think that your anti Big Sam perspective was one helluva failure to grasp the position Rovers were in.

Not much of a run...? I would love another couple of runs like that right now Mr B!
Under Shearer or OGS.

As for my BFS 'perspective' I can only say thank god he went. The only problems were that
1) He didn't go soon enough and
2) They (yes including JW and TF) allowed Venkys to replace him with an imbecile, an odious son of the heather.

If they had replaced him with a decent manager then we would still be in the prem. And had BFS stayed then we would have ended up in the Championship anyhow as it was a downward spiral under his tenure and tactics (or lack of).

Good points, but to your unbeaten run. Not much of a run, was it? Those who witnessed the matches at first hand saw a lucky team which was outplayed most of the time. Most notably by Barnsley.
When it comes to a "proper perspective" I rather think that your anti Big Sam perspective was one helluva failure to grasp the position Rovers were in.

Not much of a run...? I would love another couple of runs like that right now Mr B!
Under Shearer or OGS.

As for my BFS 'perspective' I can only say thank god he went. The only problems were that
1) He didn't go soon enough and
2) They (yes including JW and TF) allowed Venkys to replace him with an imbecile, an odious son of the heather.

If they had replaced him with a decent manager then we would still be in the prem. And had BFS stayed then we would have ended up in the Championship anyhow as it was a downward spiral under his tenure and tactics (or lack of).

They are probably doing a makeover on Kean to reinstate him as the masked marauder.

There is no logic,he fell out with all the top players and ailienated them from the team,& whilst everyone was screaming for him to be potted,after he had confined the club to the bottom for weeks they upped his terms , If they had fired him then a normal manager would have been able to take us to a comfortable position in the league.

When he starts with an unusually freaky good run of results, they loose him, they are bad beyond belief, and totally untrustworthy. They have to go.

Anyone at the club who went along with the past regime has to questionable, they are most definately unfit for Rovers,

Shabby is on the record, saying Kean should go before he took the job, I think, behind the scenes, was responsible for getting rid of him. I think it is to much of a coincidence Kean has left so soon after Shabby joined given the catalogue of disasters Kean survived before. If, and it is a big if, this is the case, I think we will be appointing a class manager soon.

However, I might be wrong...............

It now appears the end of the article was badly advised by an agent who appeared on Sky News crying and clearly distraught. He said that it wasn't his fault, it was nothing to do with him, and he was paid only the normal agents fee for acting on behalf of each line in the article, the author, the typist, the printer, the publisher, and the web master.

This was pre-Sven remember, so foreign managers were not on the agenda. He always tries to give the impression he is an intelligent thinker on the game, but if you listen to him he isn't actually the sharpest knife in the drawer. Been out of management too long and is just too f@cking precious to consider dropping into the Championship or coming up to Blackburn in any case. England players used to call him "chocolate" because they said he would eat himself if he could, such was his high opinion of himself. I'm not sure our Hindu owners would contemplate hiring someone who truly believed they were god almighty. At least, I hope they wouldn't.

You're wrong...............

.....
1. Kean resigned because he claimed the team was being picked for him and no doubt after leagl advise decided to jump as he was going to be pushed. There will no doubt be some discussions between his people and their people and a settlement come to.
2. Shabby hasn't a clue what he's doing
3. A class manager will not be appointed on account as there are non available who would either move to the NW or work under Shaggy and the Venkys

Tim Sherwood is the hot favourite today, closely followed in the betting by Big Al. Either would be great though I would prefer Sherwood. What about both of them though - Shearer as Manager and Sherwood as Director of Football? OGS has gone out to 20-1 with some bookies today - so very doubtful he will be in the running now.
