Our outspoken CEO has said it is unlikely we will get a new man in this side of xmas, so at least a couple of weeks. Boards desired candidate must be really busy up until Xmas. Hmmmm I wonder who that could be? |

Presuming DC had the remaining 4(?) years of his contract paid up, I’d be amazed if WAQ stumps up compo to get a manager already in a role
Therefore, I reckon it’s bound to be someone who is currently unemployed

Historically, we've always done better with young, relatively inexperienced managers. In my time, Megson, Williams, Francis, Ward, Holloway, Trollope and Clarke all provided either success or attractive football and are generally fondly remembered. For some reason, the opposite has generally been true of those 'journeyman' managers. Allison, Francis Mk2, Graydon, Atkins (although harshly remembered in some ways), Penney, McGhee, Ward Mk2 had less success. There has been the odd exception to this such as Buckle but generally it holds true. For me, I wouldn't have got rid of Darrell however it's happened and we just have to get on with it. My vote from the early front runners would probably be Flynn or possibly Gary Bowyer. Holloway on a short term deal only as I think his best days are gone but he may be the only one who can lift the place with his enthusiasm (unlikely given relationship with owners). Cotterill would be a disaster in my opinion. Fully expect Coughlan or Hargreaves. if it’s coughlan or Hargreaves I won’t be attending,cheap sh**e option that will cost us in the long run Cotterel or bowyer would keep us up and they got contacts,bowyer would be loved hes a great bloke with passion But Coughlan or Hargreaves would be very similar to the DC signing , cheap option , from within etc and that worked alright for us , until this season. Wouldn’t necessarily be a bad move. I’d be more worried if they went for a big name signing to be honest. Thing is managers are like players, sometimes they look great on paper and turn out crap and sometimes we say “who “ and they turn out to be great. This definitely seems to be the case with us. |

Jimmy Floyd Hasselbaink? Ex Chelsea Legend, mixed record at this level. Didn't he take Northampton out of this league last year after a shocking run of results? Think I'd sooner see a Coughlin/Hargreaves partnership have a go at keeping us up. Not saying it's what I'd want. Just trying to looking from whale's point of view. |

“We’ve already started to receive CVs, that’s the way things are in football these days. So we will assess the applications along with those CVs that come from people who are already at the club like Graham Coughlan.” Sorry but that’s enough Rovers for me today. Tells me absolutely everything I need to know about this board, zero ambition. We should be going out contacting clubs about managers and requesting to speak to them. Not sitting around twiddling our thumbs seeing who applies. It’s not a f**king corner shop job vacancy. Interview with the ‘CEO’ on the post website anyone who wants to feel anymore depressed. Also says that they agreed to sack/let Darrel go on Monday. F*ck me - I thought you were taking the water out of Wael/the Board and made up a quote. To find out this was real is deeply depressing I think they will try to do it on the cheap, why did he mention coughlan in that quote? Probably because he's already there and they can get him on the cheap. |

What do the owners know about appointing a new manager? DC was here when they took over. They wouldn't know sh** from treacle pudding!!

Presuming DC had the remaining 4(?) years of his contract paid up, I’d be amazed if WAQ stumps up compo to get a manager already in a role Therefore, I reckon it’s bound to be someone who is currently unemployed In Wael's statement he mentioned that DC would be 'taking a break from football'. Does this imply that DC is actually on 'gardening leave' so therefore cannot get another job for the time being? If that is so, then DC is still on the payroll. |

Wouldn't surprise me. i wish Wael & his family would take a break from football & sell us on to someone who can take the club forward. |
