Next manager

[roversdude]

I don’t think the time is right for helping out individuals for future interviews

[Filo]

To those wanting Schofield to get the job, he’s managed a grand total of 10 games in his career, hardly the experienced manager we crave is he?

I would honestly be tempted if he interviewed well.

However I think the bored will be very hesitant to appoint someone in the Butler/McCsheffrey mould due to their performances.

We should expect them to appoint someone with experience.

[Metalmicky]

I personally wouldn't say no to Fergie.  He has a reasonably good win record, knows the club, has bags of experience, connections within the game and has the type of personality to deal with the press and media.  I know he won't be everyone's cuppa, but out of a reasonably poor pool to fish in, he ticks several boxes. 

[normal rules]

I put his name forward based on an inkling only. I’m not saying he should be manager.   Just that he could be. His previous managerial stint at Huddersfield came about because of a resignation. He was professional development coach and head of B team.   He was asked to step up when Carlos Corberán resigned. He had a baptism of fire and was given little or no time to make an impact.

A Freudian slip...?

He certainly has the experience required having faced three “Fergie out” campaigns from the fans during his time here!

[DonnyOsmond]

Would SOD have interviewed well? I doubt it. Hopefully we don't go for the best blagger.

I think he would have, yes. I always found listening to SO’D to be enlightening. Those that thought he was boring judged him on his tone of voice rather than the words he said.

Yes, he would have been under pressure had he continued in post. I'm not sure the fan who threw his season ticket at him would be enthralled about his return.

I doubt he would want to put himself back in the same situation, having to haul the team up from League Two again. He pretty much said his ambitions were at Championship level, albeit before walking away from Peterborough with their slide firmly in place .

He has the experience at both ends of the leagues, that's for sure but is he hungry enough to take on the inevitable bumps in the road?

Isn't that a given for most managers at Rovers?  - 3 defeats on the trot normally signifies a scramble for the managers' head to roll.

Can’t see Fergie coming back. But if he did, he has a team this time I believe would be suited to his favoured formation of 3-5-2
So no round pegs in square holes.

[graingrover]

For those who respect Copps’s views, I highly recommend you fork out the fiver on Patreon to listen to the 90-minute interview he gave with Peter Catt.Most of the talk was on the qualities of the various managers that Copps has played under.

[Donnybax]

I can’t see Ferguson wanting to come back here. He left last time complaining about ambition and we are now in a much worse position

[wing commander]

  Ferguson will not be back here, he's got an interview on the coach's voice where he says he only stayed last time we got relegated as he felt responsible but left when we got back up because the board had no ambition.

  The only two names that interest me out of the list linked is Artell and my preference Alexander.Although the latter has turned down a number of jobs apparently to spend time with his family

Hasselbank is a defo avoid,When Burton were on the slide he was more interested on being on Sky matches than working hard to sort things out.And a couple of Burton fans I know said it appeared he didn't care a jot.

Schofield is a highly rated prospect but no real experience but a left field shout would be Rob Edwards did wonders at FGR before being given the customary two months at Watford.

That would be a good shout.... comes with little baggage and has experience at this level...

Isn’t he in the frame for a couple of Championship jobs though

[The Beast]

Obviously Fergie would be an improvement,  there's just something about him, I really don't want to see his face all over the Freepress and the Internet everytime I read about Rovers, there's somet about it that unnerves me.

[wing commander]

I see Schofield has flown in to 1-4 on for the job with Adkins  at 6's and Artell out to 25's

This sounds more promising for Artell

[Donny Dub]

It most certainly needs to be someone who has the immediate respect and attention of all the players.  In my opinion this is the most valuable and essential quality the new man should being to the club.

He didn’t say “no ambition” he said “they left me with no choice” he did nor explain what he meant by that but I would assume that to mean he was not satisfied with the budget at his disposal.
The word ambition was never used.

[ravenrover]

It has never been said, to the best of my knowledge, the reason Fergie left

[Chris Black come back]

Ferguson is not what we need, other than as a head of talent identification.

Nobody would be mentioning Danny Schofield if he wasn’t from Donny.

I think with scholfield it’s more his links with Huddersfield and Bromby/Coppinger than him being from donny

Possibly. But Huddersfield thought enough about him to give him the hot seat in the Championship.
Must be considered to be a very good coach. How good is he as a manager though is the question.
Would be another risk appointment.

[jamesrover17]

Schofield would be a massive gamble at this stage

Which bookies are offering odds on the new manager please? Can’t seem to find them.

I hope it isn’t Artell, he was crap as manager of Crewe when they sacked him after a 2-0 defeat against the Rovers last season. Schofield would be a good move as would Atkins.
