RedM Posted October 30, 2023 Report Share Posted October 30, 2023 8 hours ago, Red-Robbo said: This isn’t a pro-Rowett post, but I should point out he did get Derby in the play-offs and was on the verge of doing so with Birmingham City - before being removed in favour of the disastrous Zola. The only place he totally flopped at was Stoke. As an appointment it'd be a bit "meh" but we'd have to wait and see what he does here. His CV is certainly not a patch on the man he'd be replacing. Would he be anymore agreeable than Pearson though? He's experienced and wont like any 'guidance'. This is going to be a sticking point for any candidate I believe. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Appointing Rowett certainly wouldn’t be the end of the world, despite obviously being dead against Pearson being sacked, but for people saying Rowett would be terrible, be careful what you wish for……these clowns hired LJ & Holden - Rowett is a much better candidate than some we have had in the past & for this reason, i can’t see Lansdown appointing him! 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
megansdad Posted October 30, 2023 Report Share Posted October 30, 2023 Chris Wilder would be good if Sheff Utd stories happen to be untrue - though perhaps a bit too much like Nige for the owners. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

If his Middlesbrough stint is anything to go by he'd be looking to jump ship at the first sign of something better, he fell out with their owner because he wouldn't give him permission to speak to Burnley about replacing Dyche.

megansdad Posted October 30, 2023 Report Share Posted October 30, 2023 perhaps but in the interim think he would build on what we have.... even better of course would be if owners saw the strength of support for Nige, realised the error of their ways and asked him back but sadly know that ain't happening.

His leaving Millwall like he did suggests a new challenge was possibly about to become available. Give it a couple of weeks for the dust to settle, sort out back room staff etc The other team open up the position and he moves in nice and clean, no compensation. A scenario that makes sense to me. But I still feel Luke Williams may be the "dark horse" here. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Guest Posted November 1, 2023 Report Share Posted November 1, 2023 Afternoon all, just a small bit of information to share with you regarding the dismissals of Rennie & Euell during the recent international break Rennie & Euell decided to give extended breaks to the players. Most went away etc and came back without doing much and went into intensive training hence the list of injuries picked up. Joe Williams is set to be sidelined for around 6-8 weeks (not sure if that’s been posted anywhere) Nige was off with bad health after a minor operation on his back & having issues with Nerve endings that’s the reason he’s been on crutches. Not sure why Fleming didn’t have a say etc. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Feels very off to focus on that vs the rest of the really good medical work that’s been. Gave them a reason/excuse for the sackings, I guess, however small. 5 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Bat Fastard Posted November 1, 2023 Report Share Posted November 1, 2023 The counter argument would be that the players needed a good rest after being overplayed due to the fact that our small squad was already severely impacted by injuries. The players fitness levels appear to be excellent and this must be due to Rennie and his judgement. Of course, JL would be in a better position to make a decision like this. 9 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

If you read between the lines of Tinnion's interview, the club are blaming the management team for the high number of injuries. The response to that would be that Nige said most (all bar one, I believe) were contact injuries, so how did the training regime contribute to that? 5 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Its a difficult balance, but in this case this is very poor from the club. Amateurish, really. Surely their are individual protocols for this based on an individuals fitness profile? For example - we know Joe Williams fitness is made of glass compared to others - surely you would stipulate he does a minimum level when on holiday etc Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Wouldn’t be linked to fitness, if it was another hamstring tear then maybe 2 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I said exactly the same on Sat night! Just because we've spoken to someone doesn't mean they're going to be appointed. Subsequently been told that Rowett was never of interest to us so interested on @Bcfcshags thoughts on that. Perhaps the rumour wasn't true.
