Imagine rocking up on your first day and having Ayew or Daka as your striking options 

That's one of the reasons we are left with Rowett.

I'm pleased we are finally getting an actual manager and ending the Kingy experiment. We didn't need 3 games and a cup exit to know he was never going to be the answer and it's disappointing that it's taken 3 weeks when he was available on day one.

Gary ****ing Rowett lads.

If you think Rowett does any more than King you have got your head in the sand.

Vastly experienced and not atrocious. Anyone disappointed with this move is totally detached from reality. Rowett is the best we were going to do given how toxic the job is. Is he as mid as it gets? Yes - and for LCFC right now, that's like A-5 Kobe beef, not hamburger. His one job is to keep us up and there was nobody more likely to do it who was going to take the job.

 

Survive. Stay in the Championship until some miracle happens and Top has to sell the team, or somehow a competent DoF gets hired. Then you can get a better manager.

Yup best we get with the two clowns in charge, we are going down mate,

[whoareyaaa]

If King can't get a tune out of them what is Rowett going to do ?

[LCFCCKEANO]

Extremely unlikely with our mess but maybe the delay and the comments Rowett made about an ambitious appointment might be that someone has agreed to take the job on in the summer if we survive, and we were trying to work out a way to bring them in now- maybe they don’t want to leave a current job halfway through the season to take such a massive risk managing us or we cant afford the compensation to pay them out- someone like Challinor or Skubala potentially?

Rowett is noted for improving team defensive solidity and organizing sides to be difficult to beat. Gerrriminnn

Yeah can’t wait for a low block with Okoli and Thomas, that certainly worked against Southampton and in every other game we tried it this season…

Definitely not. Definitely just looking at stupidly ambitious choices such as Enzo that have no chance of happening and then panicked when they’re delusions of grandeur set in so went and begged Gary 

[Tielemans63]

Beggars can't be choosers. At least Rowett has the balls to take it on. Good luck to him.

 

He'd be nowhere near my top choice but he seems like a no nonsense character and we really need that IMHO.

Rowett is a manager at least, whilst king is just a coach at best. To be honest Rowett cannot do any worse.

That's the gist of it. "A manager at least" is, sadly, the best we can do at this low ebb but it's still better than status quo.

[Guy]

One of the much maligned Peter Taylor's better signings of his inaugural season IF he gets the job - who'd have thunk it?! 

[HybridFox]

Will take it. It's where we are and better to have an actual manager in at least!

[ACF]

Survival & culture shift the only metrics of success.

Depends what measure you are using.

 

1 season for a manager in normal terms no. In Forest terms it’s almost a Wenger/Ferguson type legacy! 
 

But then Forest and managers is a bit like a dog years to human years situation!

[LCFCCHRIS]

I like this appointment. It’s definitely what we need right now. Hopefully he just tells it as it is and doesn’t talk in metaphors and cliches.

Please don't use that tag line foxes never quit is embarrassing. They are quitting, that's why we are in a relegation battle 

[5waller5]

Gary Rowett’s appointment viewed with a ten year lens shows how far we’ve fallen,

 the disgraceful leadership, and incompetent Board perfectly.

 

Gary Rowett’s appointment viewed with a 12 month lens looks to be a sensible decision

Are you high? 

[Beliall]

i remember people crying on here when we got Ranieri. lets at least give the bloke a chance, we need to stay up or we're truly ****ed, so lets get behind him at least and cross everything that it will be enough to survive the season
