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.

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.

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.

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.

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.

True french rover but as I say we need someone with experience such as Schuster or OGS not someone who wants to be friends with the players, we've already got one ex tv pundit at rovers we don't need another as manager.

Mad Mick MacC has been (allegedly) approached and accepted (in principle) the job at the Reebok.

So Ole Gunnar is still free....but may be behind Sherwood or/and Shearer for the post.

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.

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.

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).

FR Hi

Valid points

I think there is a bit of a WAGs type culture around the United City now Liverpool NW but your right.

Not really a rant however just a bit of a theory as to why SS is waxing lyrical as to the quality of the applicants who I suspect are 70 / 80 % similar as to who have put in for the Bolton job.

Just trying to sus out the applicants who truly wish to join our fantastic
club.

Come on Venkys, pull your fingers out

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.

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.

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.

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.
