No another circle of trusted advisors (think the same ones as who brought BBD) who are not connected to Ewood day to day. They brought Farke to the table mid March. Look at Jerome Anderson ssn interview Suhail was already there pal part of another picture.
Waggot and co are a front to show the EFL restrictions are being met. Every decision is still made in India over everything from ordering office chairs to tea bags.

But we need an appointment and why is Waggott interviewing candidates for then?

Same reason cheston did with Warnock etc. He didn’t even interview Coyle.
Waggot is a puppet. He’s in place to make rovers compliant with the EFL rules but he knows nothing. Every decision from tea bags to office chair orders goes Through India.!
Don’t forget Farke could still turn us down, waggot might put a shortlist together to pass to Suhail but that’ll be it.
Candidates interviews and the Rooney rule I can’t see being to high on venkys agenda.

Gareth Ainsworth latest as Blackburn Rovers press on with manager search | Lancashire Telegraph
Rovers’ Championship rivals QPR are looking to hold talks with Wycombe Wanderers boss Gareth Ainsworth about their managerial vacancy – but he isn’t understood to be on the Ewood Park shortlist.
Ainsworth has been strongly linked with Rovers amid their search for a replacement for Tony Mowbray. Despite those links, the Wycombe boss isn’t thought to be in consideration for the Rovers job.
QPR are also in the midst of a managerial search as they look to replace Mark Waburton, who like Mowbray, left at the end of his contract.
Both clubs are likely to be looking at similar candidates given the remit for the respective jobs and a focus on player development.
Rangers are looking to push forward with plans to speak with Ainsworth, a favourite with supporters after a long spell as a player at Loftus Road, after Wycombe’s defeat in the League One play-off final to Sunderland at the weekend.
Rovers however, aren’t said to be doing the same, as their search moves to the next stage, with face-to-face interviews being held after discussions with representatives of prospective managers.
Some of those discussions will happen remotely, which could lead to a second round of interviews, with a shortlist of at least five understood to have been drawn up, though Ainsworth isn’t understood to be someone the club are looking to speak to, as things stand.
The 49-year-old had previously said he was ‘flattered’ by links with former side QPR, and boyhood club Rovers, but was fully focussed on the job at hand with the Chairboys.
Rovers haven’t commented publicly on their managerial search since announcing it was under way following the departure of Tony Mowbray on May 11, even though applications had been received at that stage.
The names of those on the shortlist is being kept under wraps, with little movement in the bookmakers odds a reflection of that.

Can’t see Ainsworth giving up living in Marlow, playing in his band, chance to go to QPR where he was a football legend to come to Ewood under venkys. I know he’s a boyhood fan but he could stay where he is where is family are settled and kids in school and commute from Marlow into west London.
I fear the worst. The entire recruitment process of a coach and a director of football is in the hands of those in Pune who have their own 'advisers'. Their record of finding managers is awful. I'm not absolutely certain but I believe waggot was the main driver in bringing Mowbray in.
Is a coach and a director of football really what we want? Managers should stay away from contractual negotiations of course but haven't we got a chief exec for that? Also I believe the priority is a coach, the appointment of a DoF can wait apparently... but shouldn't a DoF be instrumental in selecting a coach that he can work with?
Let's be honest we've had three decent managers in the last dozen years, allardyce who was here when they came, bowyer who did a great job steadying the ship and arresting our rapid decline and Mowbray who has seen improvements every season since he came. The rest have been absolutely shocking appointments!

Considering we were 3rd when Kean got sacked, Bowyer's mandate IMO was getting us promoted. I think he blew our parachute-payment era and then continued the slide with us 4 points above the relegation zone when he was sacked.
I also thought Mowbray was a poor appointment after he'd failed at Coventry, was proven wrong of course but dunno how much that was Venkys' expertise and how much it was luck.
The only manager Venkys have ever brought in that looked good on paper and we had to fight other clubs off for was Lambert. Although admittedly that didn't work out, which is what makes me a bit nervous about Farke. Lot easier doing it with money at Norwich than no money at Rovers.

Don't want Ainsworth anyway. Not the right fit for this team.
I don't the fear at worst. Waggott is interview people for the head coach as a couple of media reporters are saying. I think head coach will be done by next week imo.
We will see but I am already looking forward to the season starting

In fairness Bowyer wasn't made permanent Manager until May 2013 by which time he had only the last and smallest parachute payment to work with... or rather what the club would let him use of it. During his first season here he made some decent signings and had to bin off some bloody bad players. I might be wrong but I bet getting rid of that lot must have taken a huge chunk of the parachute payments. Check the list of ins and outs here ... 2013–14 Blackburn Rovers F.C. season - Wikipedia
Lambert was bloody awful! Typical case of 'he's been a top player so he must be a good manager' syndrome that is rife in football. His overall record is disastrous apart from his spell at Norwich. tbh his record is a lot like Coyle's, get a promotion with one club and live off it for years. Thed only thing that has prevented him having 'Sacked' on his record many times is his habit of 'leaving by mutual consent'.
I didn't rate him one bit as a manager and was glad he left.... unfortunately Owen Coyle followed him and he was worse!
As I said earlier Chaddy how can a coach be appointed without the nod from a Director of Football? Surely the task of a DoF is to appoint a coach? I certainly didn't want to lose a manager who has performed better every year and especially with the V's record of appointing managers and err.... advisors but as an itk'er at the Rovers told me recently "This should all have been handled differently."

Was it not the other way round? Didn't Waggott arrive after TM or is my mind playing tricks again?I fear the worst.

I'm not absolutely certain but I believe waggot was the main driver in bringing Mowbray in.
