This saga is dragging on longer than the Ryan Shotton debacle.
He'd better end up being our best ever manager after all this.

Yeah, the longer we stay down here, the fact that they are bankrolled by billionaires will put them increasingly at an advantage in the "best team in Lancashire" stakes

I do think the well will run dry soon and they’ll cut and run. They’ve poured fortunes into the club. It’s hilarious how they chant about Venky’s Out when if it wasn’t for them, they’d be an absolute basket case.

Its an unpopular opinion, but I think they actually do feel like they have a moral duty to Rovers after making such a mess at the start

I think we will announce Kompany tomorrow along with at least one new signing, Pace will want it to be big and fancy I’d imagine. Part of the under promise and over deliver mantra, albeit it’s taken a while

Belgian press reporting Kompany to be unveiled today.
Best paid manager in championship, 2.9 million euro plus bonus for promotion.
Pace wants away from robust British powerplay and seeks football easier to the eye.
Let’s hope it pays off

Seems a better option than Ronny Delia, but then everyone would. Can only imagine the stench from a previous job put them off him

Nixon was wrong, that was never going to happen. I wouldn't build up your hopes for an announcement today either.

I never saw Nixon say that, not sure where Vegas had seen it.
No announcement today is surprising though.

We most certainly will not be ready for the new season. The seeming lack of urgency in getting someone in is astounding.
I just keep having my fingers crossed that it all is falling into place behind the scenes.

What will it take? November with Jackson still in charge?

So that lot down the road have let one manager go at the end of the season and are on the verge of announcing his replacement.........whilst we're still dicking about since potting Dyche ages ago and no one's got a clue as and when Kompany will be officially announced as our new manager, if he is at all

He can't officially work without his permit being in place.

CT - any idea what’s holding up the announcement?
I was told from a direct source that players have been informed he is the new manager (Last Thursday).

I’ve got no idea and I’m not too bothered if he does or doesn’t.
I’m just interested to know how long people imagine this will go on for before they begin to think something isn’t right. I saw 4th July posted above. Seems incredible to me.

As I’ve just posted, I’m not bothered if he does or doesn’t come. I’m perfectly calm about the situation.
I’m just amused that people have been saying “next week” since the season ended. It’s comical at this point.

Its an unpopular opinion, but I think they actually do feel like they have a moral duty to Rovers after making such a mess at the start
They put around £20 million per annum into the club, which is a small amount for people that own a $billion company.
I would think the Venky's would consider it money well spent if the club manages to get into the Premiership and the kind of global PR that would generate for them.
And I guess they would then try to sell to get as much of their money back as possible.
I just can't see how you can make money out of clubs the size of Rovers.
