The next Rovers manager

Who should Rovers appoint as Mowbray's replacement?

My choice would be Daniel Farke. Other names I would look is Carlos Carvalhal, David Wagner and Paul Warne.

If you a young up and coming manager then Someone like Rob Edwards, Liam Manning or Mark Bonner

Sean Dyche
Mark Hughes
Daniel Farke
Ivan Leko
Brian Priske
Neil Critchley
Gareth Ainsworth

That would be my shortlist. Though I suspect it will probably be Mark Robbins.

Slaven Bilic would be my choice if available
This discussion is almost pointless though - we have no idea what we are willing to pay? are we willing to pay to get someone still under contract elsewhere? Who would be crazy enough to work for our owners? I could go on of course

Perhaps a bigger question for us is, who is going to do the recruitment?

Changing Manager is a massive gamble and one that we must get right. Given our finances I'd go for Gary Bowyer and Billy Barr.

Sadly, my choice went north of the border 12 months ago.
We need a hard nosed, pragmatic boss with a good reputation of delivering the goods, attracting the right personnel.

Are you taking the proverbial? Bowyer has found his level at Salford.

I’m more familiar with Basil Brush than some of the managers mentioned in this thread . I guess apart from the Rovers , it’s my lack of interest in football that’s to blame for that .

We’ve had a decent manager , the best since Big Sam , for five years . He tried to play the right way , brought on and developed academy players and created a team spirit , a band of brothers. Most of all he remade Rovers into a normal football club . I’d argue he’s a decent bloke , with decent values and in the end his treatment by the men in suits left a lot to be desired .

My first choice as his replacement would be Big Sam , but he wouldn’t come back . So which managers can we afford who play that style ? A physical , aggressive, pragmatic game , a game that frightens other teams to death and would make Ewood a fortress . I loved watching Sheffield Utd destroy QPR with that type of football . Do Luton and Millwall have a similar style ?

The first , second and third priority for Rovers is to win . I don’t give two hoots if they entertain me . I can watch Netflix or Amazon Prime for that .

However as Steve says it’s pointless speculation. Although the owners keep us afloat they’re impossible to second guess . Who , Why and When - it’s in the lap of the gods

Wouldn’t be a bad choice although I’ve never seen him have a front bench role with Mowbray always seems to be Ben Benson the goalie coach. I don’t think TM and him saw eye to eye.
Sounds good to me then maybe the venkys made the decision to promote DJ with a view to him to taking the managers role and that was why TM didn’t like him.

I’ve just found this quote from TM after the game:

“Hopefully the next coach is a development coach who works with young players and can find a way to make the young talent that’s coming through at this club better.”

Thats Jonno IMO

We are not getting a new Manager. We are moving to a Director of Football and a Head Coach setup.
