Bobfoc Posted December 27, 2012 Report Share Posted December 27, 2012 Roy Keane. He was at the City Ground today. So I've heard. Given his most recent Championship experience with Ipswich, at least towards the end of his tenure, I can't see any way in which he's an upgrade from O'Driscoll. I know he's an ex-Forest player, but that obviously doesn't guarantee any degree of success. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

What's that? He quit Sunderland as soon as things got tough? And he achieved piss all with Ipswich? Sorry can't hear you over PREMIERSHIP EXPERIENCE THEREFORE BETTER MANAGER. Here's £20 Million Keano, away you go. At least that's what I'd assume would be the only "logic" in letting Keane getting anywhere near the job Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Cymbols Posted December 27, 2012 Report Share Posted December 27, 2012 McLeish has been confirmed according to BBC. No word on MacDonald though. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
cmb211087 Posted December 27, 2012 Report Share Posted December 27, 2012 He is coming in as coach... Because that is what we do now, hire new coaches before we even have a manager in place. Highly likely he will be head coach with that muppet Shebby Singh as manager in all but name. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Admin Lineker Posted December 27, 2012 Author Admin Report Share Posted December 27, 2012 You can actually get 20/1 odds on Singh being the next manager. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Admin Lineker Posted December 28, 2012 Author Admin Report Share Posted December 28, 2012 Blackburn Rovers global advisor Shebby Singh says the club have no immediate plans to appoint a new manager. Rovers, lying 15th in the Championship, sacked Henning Berg on Thursday after only 57 days in charge at Ewood Park. "There have been no appointments made, nor will there be in the immediate future," Singh told BBC Radio Lancashire. Reserve team coach Gary Bowyer will take charge for Saturday's game against Barnsley at Oakwell. Berg replaced Steve Kean on 31 October but the club won only one of their 10 matches during his time in charge. Assistant manager Eric Black, coach Iain Brunskill and goalkeeping coach Bobby Mimms also left the club, who are 17th in the Championship. Former Blackburn managers Mark Hughes and Kenny Dalglish have been linked with the vacancy, while former Aston Villa first-team coach Kevin MacDonald is also likely to be a candidate. Singh approached MacDonald in November about the possibility of him becoming Berg's assistant. Former Hull City manager Phil Brown has already expressed an interest in the job. Brown has been out of management since his departure from Preston North End in December 2011. The 53-year-old was expected to take over at Hartlepool United in November, but negotiations stalled and the club appointed John Hughes instead. "My CV is certainly going in - I think it is a fantastic opportunity for somebody," Brown told BBC Radio 5 live. lolwut. Elsewhere, Mark Robson has left Barnet, meaning that Edgar Davids is now the sole head coach. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
