5 candidates for the Blackburn Rovers job

Gary Bowyer

Gary Bowyer was sacked as Blackburn Rovers manager only in November, surely the club wouldn’t bring him back? Would they? Stranger things have certainly happened. His name has appeared in the betting and is fairly high up considering he was dismissed only last year. Although he was removed, he seemed to ‘get on’ with the Venky’s. Results just went against him and the club felt a change was needed. He probably would return if given the chance.

It was only a week or so ago that his named was linked to a different managerial vacancy. The Mirror suggested he was in the running for the Bolton Wanderers job. He is far from a ‘glamorous name’ but he is a solid manager who is perhaps at his best on the training field. With limited resources at the club, he could perhaps do what ‘bigger name’ candidates could not do. He’ll probably return to management one day, is it so crazy to think it will be back at Blackburn so soon after he left?

Prior to being handed the job full-time, Bowyer enjoyed a few stints in caretaker charge. Clearly he is trusted by the club to do a job. Perhaps he could be given a years rolling contract to get the club back on track again. He may have guided them to a higher placed finish than what Paul Lambert has achieved if he was allowed to see out the season.

This is of course something of a whacky suggestion but modern day owners tend to do crazy things at times. They tend to act on instinct and do what their gut tells them is right. The Venky’s felt it was right to sack Bowyer earlier this season, they could very well harbour feelings of bringing him back to the club. Perhaps he could be on the coaching capacity alongside a more experienced manager or coach. We shall see.
