Richie Wellens

Darren Moore
4/1
Michael Appleton
8/1
David Flitcroft
9/1
Chris Hughton
10/1
Jimmy Floyd Hasselbaink
10/1
Simon Grayson
10/1
Stuart McCall
10/1
Danny Cowley
12/1
Sol Campbell
12/1

[GazLaz]

I’d say you want to be betting with Victor Chandler not Sky.

[Copps is Magic]

Wellens has done nothing above average so far. Meh, ok at Oldham, Meh ok at Swindon. There are dozens of managers out there with better credentials than him (and probably temperament).

[Wild Rover]

Advocated Appleton  3 managers ago. Wont change now.

[Michael Gibson]

Got a feeling they’ll go for Flitcroft

[Dare to dream!]

Got a feeling they’ll go for Flitcroft

Surely not

[mpc123]

Probably none of the above

[silent majority]

There's a few on that list that don't stand a chance.

Wellens
McCall
Cowley
Campbell

[Filo]

Got a feeling they’ll go for Flitcroft

On what basis?

[phil old leake]

Richie Wellens not interested
Darren Moore yes
Michael Appleton possible
David Flitcroft no chance
Chris Houghton yes but there’s no chance
J F Hasselbaink not done enough for me just a big name
Simon Grayson yes
Stuart McCall not for me but I’d suggest he’s in the running he was last time and wanted it
Danny Cowley is not going to leave Lincoln for rovers.  Lincoln fans love him
Sol Campbell did ok last year. I’d say yes to him

I’d have Saunders back

[Copps is Magic]

I’d have Saunders back

OH god, silly season has started. He's facing prison on the 28th of August.

[Filo]

Richie Wellens not interested
Darren Moore yes
Michael Appleton possible
David Flitcroft no chance
Chris Houghton yes but there’s no chance
J F Hasselbaink not done enough for me just a big name
Simon Grayson yes
Stuart McCall not for me but I’d suggest he’s in the running he was last time and wanted it
Danny Cowley is not going to leave Lincoln for rovers.  Lincoln fans love him
Sol Campbell did ok last year. I’d say yes to him

I’d have Saunders back

Hi Dean 😂

[BradwellRover]

Saunders? Can’t stand the man and he’s a bit of a ‘Walter Mitty character’ if you ask me.

Not sure on the Cowley brothers either as they are bit too route 1 for my liking.

[Prez]

Got a feeling they’ll go for Flitcroft

Me too. In fairness to him he has a 40% win ratio from his 312 games as a manager.

Still young and hungry to succeed, fits the clubs criteria. I wouldnt touch anyone else on that list except Chris Hughton but no way will he drop into league 1.

[Chris Black come back]

No way will Hughton end up our manager. Not a chance. He has same problem as Moore albeit at an even higher level which may explain this - Brighton fans at end were at loose end due to dire quality of football.

[mjg]

Probably Darren Moore he will be out to prove a point , can we afford him or any of the others that’s another question

[Dare to dream!]

What’s everyone’s obsession with Moore? He has done absolutely nothing as a manager and doesn’t fit the job specification.

[StocktonRover]

WBA fans were not happy with how DM was dismissed but virtually all complained about the awful football under him even when it did get results.

[bradford exile]

Very surprised that no one as yet has mentioned ex Rovers favourite Glyn  Snodin. Highly reexpected as a Coach I understand. Regards. Ray

[Wiltshire Exile]

WBA fans were not happy with how DM was dismissed but virtually all complained about the awful football under him even when it did get results.

For me, winning has to be everything. It really doesn’t matter to me how we do it. I have never attended a Rovers match with the expectation of being entertained, and I never will. I would be as sick as a seaside donkey if I leave a game described as the best ever but having lost 5-4. On the other hand having just watched a game described as turgid and truly awful but Rovers having won 1-0, then I will be thinking: “Great stuff; roll on the next one”

[DonnyBazR0ver]

It all depends of course who applies but, I understand Appleton is a very good coach but I don't know enough about his man management.

Moore. No experience of wheeling and dealing at this level but maybe a good man manager.

Grays on. Not for me as I don't think he comes across well and his teams seem to reflect his monotone voice.

Snods, same as Appleton, good coach but may prefer a no 2 role rather than the head honcho.

Campbell. I doubt he's got the depth of contacts and experience we need.

[Spilsby Red]

Chris Houghton (would be great) perhaps he might look at us and think I can take this club somewhere. Prob not tho

Andy Butler back with Michael Appleton assistant for support. Pay his contract and get him back. Another one with rovers blood in him

Wellens and Moore. Ex players. Got passion

[bigallan]

Could we not go for Graham Jones a long punt I know but if you have Chris hughton why not Jones

Totally agree. The team that won the League at Brentford were terrible to watch most of the season, but by God they were hard to beat. They just refused to roll over for anyone, which is why they won so many games in injury time.

[phil old leake]

Apart from the fact I forgot he was in the pooh I don’t see why Saunders was described as been “silly season”.  He’s better than some of the other bafoons being mentioned
Saying that after what he did I hope he is in the pooh big time

[Lifelong supporter]

There's a few on that list that don't stand a chance.

Wellens
McCall
Cowley
Campbell

Not sure about some of the others either apart from Grayson, who is a serial promotion winner.
Been in charge, along with Glynn Snodin, of three different clubs that have won promotion to the Championship.
Surely would be the favourite if he applied.

[Lifelong supporter]

Could we not go for Graham Jones a long punt I know but if you have Chris hughton why not Jones

Why would Graeme Jones come here when he's just been appointed manager of Luton?
Wouldn't want him either.
Tainted by his 'association' with the one and only Ken Richardson.

[bigallan]

Sorry I didn't know he had sorry again

[Jonathan]

I think people need to quickly realise that there’s zero chance of somebody like Chris Hughton coming here. He’s a respected Premier League manager and people mentioning those kind of names are only setting us up for disappointment. It’s unrealistic for us, and for every other club in our division and at least half of the championship.

I’m confident we’ll make a good appointment from the significant pool of managers that will realistically be interested in what is a very decent opportunity.

[Michael Shaw]

Not Richie Wellens. I don't mind most of the others in the top 4 or 5, but not Richie Wellens. Why he is favourite beats me.
As a player he had an attitude problem because he felt he was a Premier quality player stuck in the lower leagues. I don't want the mardy 4rse here. Appoint him and I despair and things just keep on getting worse.

Snake-in-the grass McCann has probably already scuppered our playoff hopes leaving us in a mess.
