Rumblings at Ewood...

Sidney1st · Post by **Sidney1st** » Wed Feb 15, 2017 9:52 pm

So waving a red card during their cup game on the 18th and 75th min is their next protest idea.

They're also considering ways to get the match stopped and one suggestion was throwing rubber chickens onto the pitch

Some money to be had in flogging rubber chickens then. Off to their market tomorrow.

I'm toying with the idea of heading over to Ewood for the Bristol game as I think that'll be the match that seals their fate.

Obviously I'd be undercover in the Bristol end but just wondering if this would be apt disguise as I used it last time I was in that end

Oh sh*t they've signed Foghorn Leghorn from the Bantams. Heard he's knocked the stuffing out of league one defenses.

Now if they'd have signed Gleghorn from Rangers, they might have poached a few more goals.

I am afraid they missed their chance. Their loss was Burnley College Monday night 5 aside leagues gain!

It would be hilarious if there was a madame Rao version of "Hitler just found out...."

Have you ever worn that (or just the hat) on the Turf (Longside)?

Every time we go on he always looks for the ''chicken man''

Off topic, but when is tomorrow's team news in? Could be handy for first/last goal scorer betting.

I see John Claret is still ripping them on there

The only thing funnier than Coyle taking them down would be Dunn doing it.

If and when they do get round to potting goofy imagine the standard of people applying, bear in mind Coyle was the stand out candidate last time.

No worries.

How did the digging go? I thought it'd have been done and dusted very quickly

It was quite quick haha.

**Like**

And my teachers said I'd never achieve anything eh?!?

How wrong were they.

A lesson for all the kids out there, if you work hard enough at something you will get there.

Time for him to go.

Steve Keen and Paul Ince must be frontrunners.

Foshiznik · Post by **Foshiznik** » Thu Feb 16, 2017 5:07 pm

Just for an extra chuckle, look who are the top 5 favourites for next Rovers manager:-

1 - David Dunn
2 - Tim Sherwood
3 - Gary Bowyer
4- Alan Irvine
5 - Neil Warnock

geopancake · Post by **geopancake** » Thu Feb 16, 2017 5:13 pm

Hope they don't get Warnock, he has the ability to polish a turd.

Foshiznik · Post by **Foshiznik** » Thu Feb 16, 2017 5:15 pm

I'm hoping for either Tim Sherwood or Alan Irvine. Proven failures at Championship level. Gary Bowyer was a bit too stable for my liking.

Redbeard · Post by **Redbeard** » Thu Feb 16, 2017 5:38 pm

Sherwood and Bfccrazy would make a good photo together.

Just imagine - a prick in and a chicken.

FulledgeClaret · Post by **FulledgeClaret** » Thu Feb 16, 2017 5:40 pm

Isn't Dunn the only one out of work in that list and the obvious cheap option or has PrickSherwood been shown the door at Swindon. one things for sure they won't pay compo to get a new manager in.

Personally I would go for Paul Ince. Knows the place and did a great job last time.

Rammy1968 · Post by **Rammy1968** » Thu Feb 16, 2017 8:13 pm

I've heard from a reliable source that the man they are after is the football genius that is Timothy Sherwood

Rammy1968 · Post by **Rammy1968** » Thu Feb 16, 2017 8:24 pm

Dunny as far as I am aware works for Bastards as a coach as it is so would be a cheap option.

Blackrod · Post by **Blackrod** » Thu Feb 16, 2017 8:28 pm

If they appoint no 2 on the list they might as well give up.

geopancake · Post by **geopancake** » Thu Feb 16, 2017 8:51 pm

Surely Shebby Singh could take the role, however he would need upgrade on his last post, perhaps first team manager and interplanetary advisor!

ElectroClaret · Post by **ElectroClaret** » Thu Feb 16, 2017 9:10 pm

No way is Colin leaving Cardiff for the insanity of Deadwood.

Doing well with the taffs.

In the absence of hope, here's Owens fantasy 11 to face a full (ish) strength Manure side.
Probably their last shot at a 'glamour' result, before the earlier rounds of the FA Trophy beckon.

David Dunn with Peter Reid as advisor will be next comedy duo to take them further down the leagues

Time for Owen to head home. Surely a job in the Scottish 4th tier awaits.
