Next manager

[kentonclaret]

As far as the Next Manager odds provided by bookmakers is concerned I believe that a manager has to be in charge for the first 10 games for there to be a payout. From some of the recent comments it could well be that Bellamy finds himself in situ for that period of time as interim manager whilst the manager search continues.

From the start of the search for a new manager I’m very disappointed in the names licked with job.

What names would you be happy for us to be linked to?

[Holtyclaret]

Rush it? Not quite sure I said that. I said it is quite reasonable to start a debate as to why we’re now a month since VK left and still no closer to somebody in charge, especially with the amount of work that needs doing both in terms of player movement and tactical planning.

No nearer after a few weeks of interviews and second interviews?

I reckon we’re a few weeks nearer

[willsclarets]

No bedwetting here, but given the imperative we have to get back up this year I don't think it's unreasonable to have someone in place for pre season given how long it's been since Kompany was effectively gone

[kentonclaret]

What names would you be happy for us to be linked to?

Just referencing the first 6 pages of this thread provides the answer Moyes, Cooper, Mark Robins, Danny Rohl, Potter etc. etc.
The fact that at least 2 of these names distanced themselves from the role from the outset and others are unavailable means that it could be Bellamy by default.

[Steddyman]

Why isn't OGS even in the Sky betting odds, given the Beehole End Podcast just confirmed he has had a second interview?

[ClaretTony]

The preseason plan under VK was to go abroad. Sounds like that's changed from what other posters have said.

His plan was for one week away with potentially two games. The rest of pre season was at home with all games behind closed doors.

[NickBFC]

Would be great to have a friendly or two back at the Turf.

[Holtyclaret]

I have a feeling we may have a home friendly this time to ‘test’ the new pitch.

[South West Claret.]

The South West is quite nice at this time of the year

I meant actual realistic names, not delusional, pie-in-the-sky, delusions of grandeur for 3 of those names you've referred to in Moyes, Cooper and Potter!

And the other 2 that might be more realistic in Mark Robins and Danny Rohl aren't that inspiring either like the names being linked currently, to be honest.

As long as nobody stands up at the game.....

[Steddyman]

OGS now appeared on SkyBet at 20/1. Got to be worth a punt given we know he has interviewed twice.

Believe Paul Jewell was interviewed too

[xxmunkyennuixx]

Quite happy with the potential of OGS. Good with fans. Works well with young players. Creates a positive atmosphere. Would be quite excited to see how things went. Bellamy would be a ridiculous appointment. I am sure we can prise a foreign manager from a club away if we have to. I just cannot see it being him, this idea of by default is not how a professional outfit operates. If it is Bellamy or Parker/Lampard you'd take the person with prior experience. Experience is going to count with the nature of our squad and the necessity for promotion. I don't want Lampard but he's definitely currently more capable than Bellamy.

I don’t mind people standing up …as long as it’s not in seated areas.

[Casper2]

According to talk sport both Lampard and Rosenior turned us down .

I've put a cheeky fiver on it.

[Since62]

Voted for OGS in the original poll. Thought he was out of it so glad that he’s still under consideration.

[ClaretInLeeds]

The ever reliable Talksport.

[Woodleyclaret]

No way would unemployed Rosinor turn us down
Frank is worth millions and doesn't need to work

[Quickenthetempo]

I have a feeling we may have a home friendly this time to ‘test’ the new pitch.

Not sure if you're hinting there will be or not but we asked the league for an away match first up to give enough time for the pitch to grow.

Or do they have to have a test event on them before the league allow it to host a game?

[TPClaret]

According to talk sport both Lampard and Rosenior turned us down .

Thank **** for that

[blatherwickstattoos]

Haven’t you been called out on other threads for doing the in the know act for years

No. I’ve only been on this forum a year

[ArmchairDetective]

I don't know how true talk sport's report is, or the reasons for them turning us down if it is true. But I can understand some candidates turning us down if they can't bring in their own assistant or other backroom staff.

[ClaretAL]

6 -1 for OGS now. Means nothing and probably speculation from here spreading, just shows how week the market is, and how good a job the Club are doing keeping under wraps. Just a shame the RVN information got out.

[It Is What It Is]

Yep...OGS for me all day long.
Have wanted him since day one.
Gave all the experienced and young players the freedom to revive their own playing game at Utd.
Dyche was a massive admirer of him for what it's worth.
He would be great for our young squad.
Big game player, big name, Treble winner etc etc...what more could a club like BFC ask for.

He hasn't managed since Man U, 3 years ago.
Hadn't realised that.

[Poulton-le-Claret]

That sounds to me like the agents of Lampard and Rosenior are getting their spin out there then I can sort of understand Lampard, as he doesn't need to work, but I seriously doubt Rosenior would say no to us.

[Murger]

So Rosenior has turned down both us and Sunderland? Hahaha, not a chance.

[ŽižkovClaret]

Only way it makes sense really is if he wants to be a Manager and not "Head Coach" i guess but aye it stinks of agents PR

[NickBFC]

Cannot believe Rosenior turned us down. Lampard possibly as unless he got us promoted then his stock really would be low.

[Quickenthetempo]

They might have pulled out of talks, but we haven't offered them the job.

[Steddyman]

I'd be very happy with OGS. He was a breath of fresh air at United and had them playing some great stuff until they brought in the words biggest cock and disrupted the squad.

[Pearcey]

Maybe the lads on the podcast (that I’m currently listening to and enjoying) are having a bit of fun to see if people will put money on OGS. It’s certainly worked!

[billyhamilton82]

Sorry, I'm trying to rack my brains, who did they bring in that disrupted the squad?

Assuming the fella who cant play in the MLS, CR7?

[ClaretTony]

Doubt it - it’s why we asked for an away game to start the season

[claretonthecoast1882]

We haven't invited Hannover back then ?

[ClaretTony]

Believe Paul Jewell was interviewed too

And Craig Levein

[ClaretTony]

According to talk sport both Lampard and Rosenior turned us down .

I think it might have been the other way round

[ClaretTony]

That was an interesting afternoon

[Casper2]

Wants a break from football apparently

[billyhamilton82]

Assuming the fella who cant play in the MLS, CR7?

Thank you

Of course, I knew it would be obvious, just couldn't think who it might be

[Casper2]

I think it might have been the other way round

I expect so , why would someone go for a job interview if they wanted a break from football.

[Vegas Claret]

According to talk sport both Lampard and Rosenior turned us down .

same lot who said Brownhill was joining West Ham on a free when we got relegated 2 seasons ago. They make TeamTalk sound legit

[KRBFC]

I’d absolutely hate OGS

[ClaretTony]

I’d absolutely hate OGS

Let’s get OGS then

[ClaretPete001]

I think I might drop Alan a line

______________________________

Dear Alan Pace

Please find attached my CV. I believe you have a vacancy you are struggling to fill and I'm available for interview.

I have an extensive experience of football playing for many years in Blackburn Combination division 2 and the Hyndburn Division 1. I've included this on my CV but without the names of the Teams - to be frank I'm getting on a bit and it was a long time ago.

I also managed at a high level in the Haslingden 5 a side league at Haslingden Sports Centre. I played a 1-2-2 with 2 at the back and 2 up front. My star centre forward - Basher Smith - played a Harry Kane role: kind of slow and wandering around the pitch a bit lost even before Harry was born.

I'm willing to work for a lot less than Vincent Kompany. Unfortunately, I only speak one language (ecky thump) so I need a translator for any players further afield than the likes of Chorley or Ramsbottom.

If you need a manager that can lose a lot of games and talk sh*te afterwards to replace VK: I'm your man.

Regards

ClaretPete

[Boss Hogg]

Do not want OGS at all. Poor at Cardiff.
