Name the next manager

[Smile]

Nixon thought we were going to announce it yesterday so I would absolutely expect Monday

VK Blues
Monday Blues
VK Bluesday

It's clearly either tomorrow or Tuesday

[ksrclaret]

This saga is dragging on longer than the Ryan Shotton debacle.

He'd better end up being our best ever manager after all this.

Have we been waiting for a starry starry night before the announcement of Vincent?

New away kit - blue and grey?

Looks like Jon Dahl Tomasson is to be appointed down the m65

Interesting appointment - did well at Malmo.

Sure he won't let the fact he's 34th choice put him off

Money talks and Venky’s are happy to spend it.

[Lancasterclaret]

Yeah, the longer we stay down here, the fact that they are bankrolled by billionaires will put them increasingly at an advantage in the "best team in Lancashire" stakes

I do think the well will run dry soon and they’ll cut and run. They’ve poured fortunes into the club. It’s hilarious how they chant about Venky’s Out when if it wasn’t for them, they’d be an absolute basket case.

Yep. But they've never been the brightest.

We've been saying this for a fair while now and they haven't yet

Its an unpopular opinion, but I think they actually do feel like they have a moral duty to Rovers after making such a mess at the start

[Smile]

They've certainly been the most predictable.

Let's bloody hope so!

Let's bloody hope so!

I think we need a bit of excitement.

[warksclaret]

Red sky at night

[Hedontplayforyou]

I think we will announce Kompany tomorrow along with at least one new signing, Pace will want it to be big and fancy I’d imagine. Part of the under promise and over deliver mantra, albeit it’s taken a while

The Under Promise and Over Deliver mantra hasnt gone particularly well thus far.

[Quicknick]

Everyone will have forgotten the delay in a fortnight.

[Pearcey]

Happy VK Day everyone!

[PensansClaret]

After the season we have had let's hope for some great news today and a fantastic season ahead.

[Belgianclaret]

Belgian press reporting Kompany to be unveiled today.
Best paid manager in championship, 2.9 million euro plus bonus for promotion.
Pace wants away from robust British powerplay and seeks football easier to the eye.
Let’s hope it pays off

Let’s hope things start moving quickly. A few signings this week hopefully

[claretonthecoast1882]

Seems a better option than Ronny Delia, but then everyone would. Can only imagine the stench from a previous job put them off him

[CnBtruntru]

Nixon thought we were going to announce it yesterday so I would absolutely expect Monday

Problem is this is going to take a while too sort, I think I previously posted July 4th and nothing has changed my mind

[ClaretTony]

Nixon was wrong, that was never going to happen. I wouldn't build up your hopes for an announcement today either.

[RVclaret]

I never saw Nixon say that, not sure where Vegas had seen it.

No announcement today is surprising though.

[Zom Zom]

We most certainly will not be ready for the new season. The seeming lack of urgency in getting someone in is astounding.

I just keep having my fingers crossed that it all is falling into place behind the scenes.

[ksrclaret]

At what point are we going to accept this guy just isn’t coming?

What will it take? November with Jackson still in charge?

[RVclaret]

Do you actually believe he isn't coming?

[arise_sir_charge]

He’s coming, in fact he’s already working, calm down.

[GodIsADeeJay81]

So that lot down the road have let one manager go at the end of the season and are on the verge of announcing his replacement.........whilst we're still dicking about since potting Dyche ages ago and no one's got a clue as and when Kompany will be officially announced as our new manager, if he is at all

[GodIsADeeJay81]

He’s coming, in fact he’s already working, calm down.

He can't officially work without his permit being in place.

[RVclaret]

CT - any idea what’s holding up the announcement?

I was told from a direct source that players have been informed he is the new manager (Last Thursday).

[jedi_master]

It will be interesting to see how long it takes Rovers to appoint a manager needing a work permit...

[ksrclaret]

Do you actually believe he isn't coming?

I’ve got no idea and I’m not too bothered if he does or doesn’t.

I’m just interested to know how long people imagine this will go on for before they begin to think something isn’t right. I saw 4th July posted above. Seems incredible to me.

[Bigvince]

I’m beginning to have my doubts about him arriving, I mean how T’s and I’s need crossing and dotting ?

[Murger]

He may well be the manager. But it's utterly bizarre how it's taking so long.

[ksrclaret]

He’s coming, in fact he’s already working, calm down.

As I’ve just posted, I’m not bothered if he does or doesn’t come. I’m perfectly calm about the situation.

I’m just amused that people have been saying “next week” since the season ended. It’s comical at this point.

[ClaretTony]

At what point are we going to accept this guy just isn’t coming?

He's coming, it's just now a matter of announcing it which I don't think is too far away.

[ksrclaret]

Thanks. I’ve never known an announcement take so long with everyone seemingly so confident he’s already here and working. Strange times.

Maybe someone wants to get on the pics and hasn't been available

[Guitargeorge]

I’m absolutely pretty sure that there’s a good chance that possibly the announcement will be made soon, or failing that, later.

That seems a bit cryptic Tony

i have it on good authority that you are 100% correct in this assertion.

[ClaretPete001]

They put around £20 million per annum into the club, which is a small amount for people that own a $billion company.

I would think the Venky's would consider it money well spent if the club manages to get into the Premiership and the kind of global PR that would generate for them.

And I guess they would then try to sell to get as much of their money back as possible.

I just can't see how you can make money out of clubs the size of Rovers.

[Boss Hogg]

Maybe someone wants to get on the pics and hasn't been available

At this stage they could just superimpose their face.

[Newcastleclaret93]

Perhaps a player being announced at the same time?
