No, he might just keep them up which is great news as far as Rovers are concerned

A twitch in time and all that

Is it too late for him to sign anyone?

Lancasterclaret · Post by **Lancasterclaret** » Tue Apr 18, 2017 9:27 am

Worst possible manager to appoint to be honest.

This is the kind of decision that could keep Rovers up.

Throwing cash at a ' name' again. Think this will end in tears one way or another. There's no way he'd have taken that job without being paid through the roof.

It's certainly the furthest north he's managed by a long chalk. I thought he was a bit of a homebird in that respect. Never straying too far from Sandbanks.

I wonder if it's dawned on whoever runs Brum now how bad a decision they made getting rid of Rowett? Probably not,they clearly don't have much common sense.
I've not seen if this is a permanent deal or an "until end of season" measure. I'm guessing the latter but who knows with the people in charge there.

If it gets them the one win they need to stay up it'll be money well spent.

It must be short term, Redknapp has always struck me as a bloke who would break out in hives if he was away from the South East for more than 2 weeks.

He lives in Dorset

Lancasterclaret · Post by **Lancasterclaret** » Tue Apr 18, 2017 9:43 am

Cotterill is his assistant.

Slightly better than it being kevin bloody bond as at least he can set up to defend.

The south then.

Blackrod · Post by **Blackrod** » Tue Apr 18, 2017 9:44 am

Yes it may just give them a lift before they've kicked a ball. I hope so.

He's a boy, isn't he.

ClaretAndJew · Post by **ClaretAndJew** » Tue Apr 18, 2017 9:54 am

Steve Cotterill in as number 2.

ClaretTony · Post by **ClaretTony** » Tue Apr 18, 2017 9:54 am

Have to admit I didn't see this one coming, but I don't think it mattered who they got it has to be an improvement on Zola

claptrappers_union · Post by **claptrappers_union** » Tue Apr 18, 2017 10:08 am

I think its a good appointment short term... not so good long term though

Fretters · Post by **Fretters** » Tue Apr 18, 2017 10:08 am

Nice to see Agent Cotterill helping out the Blackburn demise.

kentonclaret · Post by **kentonclaret** » Tue Apr 18, 2017 10:08 am

SSN will be over the moon at this appointment.

Reporting from outside the Birmingham training ground throughout the day.

Wind the window down Arry.

Funkydrummer · Post by **Funkydrummer** » Tue Apr 18, 2017 10:09 am

Are they being run by the Venky's less savvy football cousins ?

mybloodisclaret · Post by **mybloodisclaret** » Tue Apr 18, 2017 10:11 am

As long as this appointment gives them a win, it takes them further to safety and piles more pressure on that little club down the road who once won something.

jlup1980 · Post by **jlup1980** » Tue Apr 18, 2017 10:11 am

Comedy. Gold.

Obviously Rovers are still 99% my wish for relegation from the Championship, but I'll happily move 1% over to Redknapp; that'd be hilarious!!

Hel b on a wedge to keep em up. I can see him doing it

dermotdermot · Post by **dermotdermot** » Tue Apr 18, 2017 10:16 am

Just how bad are Forest at the moment? They seem to have a slightly easier run in than Blackburn but are dropping quite dramatically.

How does this chancer do it?
Media darling loved by the press and tax avoiders everywhere.I can see why Steve C hitched onto this one.Harry will become director of football which of course involves lot of fact finding free hols and Cotts will be manager.

Nephew Frank out of contract, in for a couple of games?

I'm sure Niko Kranjcar and Peter Crouch are warming up their motors as we speak.

TheFamilyCat · Post by **TheFamilyCat** » Tue Apr 18, 2017 2:33 pm

The sort of manager who could provide a quick boost, which is something they need.

On the other hand, it'll also turn the place into a media circus, which is something they probably don't.
