Next DRFC manager.

[silent majority]

New Poll as the old one is now defunct. 3 names on it are discarded according to Liam Holden.

I have put 6 names on there although apparently only 5 on the short list. We do not know who those 5 are so still complete guess work.

I'd start again if I was you Campsall.

[MachoMadness]

I sincerely hope it isn't Garry Monk, his reputation is not good and he had odd ties to an agent that cost him one of his Championship jobs, possibly at Middlesbrough.

Always seems to have weirdly acrimonious departures, Monk. Not someone we'd ever want here.

Surely Eustace (if applied) is on the shortlist having got so close before.

[RoversAlias]

Surely Eustace (if applied) is on the shortlist having got so close before.

He has never managed at league level so won't be on the shortlist if we are to believe the Free Press description. You can rule out the likes of Eustace, Barry and Buckingham now.

[Dare to dream!]

Eustace turned down the Swansea job so we can dream on.

[Campsall rover]

Eustace turned down the Swansea job so we can dream on.

He was interviewed when DM was appointed wasn’t he.
So to turn Swansea down suggests he has ideas above his station.

If he applied for our job that can't be true. He might just be picky on where he applies.

Not that black and white is it?  Different aims, expectations, personalities, budgets...

Equally a failure to get the job once doesn't mean never.  Situations and people change.

He turned down the Swansea job for personal reasons. If he has applied and got an interview for a team in league one and fighting relegation he can’t have ideas above his station or picky.

Would be some pay cut from managing England, assistant at Man Utd to working for Rovers. Steve Mclaren hahahaha

Exactly that’s why I was curious about the comment on turning Swansea down.

Just guess work.  Do you know anything?

He probs does but then, we'd all be lumping on at the bookies if he was to divulge!

A few cryptic clues wouldn't go amis would they!? Ha.

He’s ex Leeds. Wouldn’t want him bringing his cheating Leeds ways to Rovers.

[Monkcaster_Rover]

Paul Clement just to throw a random name into the mix.

I wouldn't say no to a reincarnated Billy Bremner.

No ambition if we recruit GM

You could always just not bother having a poll?

How many ex Leeds players have played for Rovers over the years.  Many of them gave excellent service and were top players for us.
Plus as BST said one of our best managers Billy Bremner was Leeds Captain through those Revie years.
All Leeds cheats were they. But loved when they were at Rovers.

Our dear CBcb you and a few others really need to get some therapy i think. Oh the hypocrisy.

I would not want Monk as our manager. His few months at Leeds must have turned him into a cheat.

No Monk jumps ship at the sniff of another job offer and has achieved little as a manager.
He is not what we need at Rovers imo.

Probably that’s the most sensible option.  I will not start a 3rd one.

Really.

Who should we be going after that will not expect Silly wages and a much larger budget to spend than the club can sensibly afford.

Names please. 

All you do is post anything that comes into your head which is negative about the club.
Try something constructive for once.  So come on let’s have some sensible suggestions.

[DonnyBazR0ver]

So, how many of JR'S seven appointments were ambitious? And where did one of his most successful, and probably most important appointment come from?

Obviously you mean SOD DBR when you refer to our most important appointment, but it could actually be argued that Dave Penney was the most crucial one.
He got us out of the Conference and out of league 3 ( as it was then, tier 4 ) at the first attempt and then established us as a top half team at our present level over the next 2 seasons.

The jury is out on who was the most important one.  But as you say neither we’re on most supporters radar when JR made those inspired appointments.

We need that kind of inspired appointment now. Let’s hope The board pull out a Christmas cracker with this appointment.
This one is going to be just a vital as any this club has made in the last 20 years imo.

Yes, arguably the most important turned out to be Penney. From within, initially chosen to assist Alan Lewer, before being given the job outright after Lewers dismissal.

I'm sure the names will leak out at some point they usually do.

Too late to do another poll though SM.         Probably just as well.

I am hoping there will be 1 stand out candidate from the 5 and a final 3 will not be required but expect they will want 2 interview opportunities from 3 candidates just to make sure they get what they hope will be the best one. Or at least hopefully turns out to be the best one.
