John Eustace - our head coach
phili replied to chaddyrovers's topic in Blackburn Rovers Fans Messageboard
In our position and with Venky's issues I think we needed someone with more experience. Warnock would have been ideal but Alex Neill probably would have been my choice -

No quotes from the CEO or owners explaining the decision etc, our club communication really has plummeted. -

Will it be GB or Waggot introducing him in the media? If GB is no where we can safely assume he has left. -

I think worse is to come. I don't see the investigation into them being over quickly, they have already found 1 issue so the Indian authorities will go through everything and Modi will use it to show he is cracking down on billionaires. I sense the budget being cut to around £8-10m in the summer with the sale or release of any player on more than £5k a week. With support from Venky's going down to £3m if we are lucky. So similar to the trust's support all those years ago. I also expect a 25% increase in season tickets with Waggot saying we can't expect cash from the owners all the time and now is time for us to help them out. I wouldn't be surprised if MK Dons have a better budget than us in League 2 by the time the end of the summer arrives. In your meeting Glenn and Josh, were there any comments from Waggot on how bad it could get or was he overly optimistic for the future. -

You really don't like GB. I think the DOF model here was always going to end in failure, with Venky's always causing issues. Most of the things Gregg has introduced behind the scenes have been good but they were still only trying to correct the previous 12 years of mismanagement. With us now going for Eustace it looks like the entire model the club were adopting with a playing identity from the kids team upwards has been jettisoned, so I am not sure it is worthwhile it is for him to stay. -

I think he'd be horrified at what we have become since he left. -
It's possible but League rules state only a Club Secretary or CEO can registar a player, so we'd be left open to a whole load of issues if that had happened. It's unlikely to be a password system, more likely a passkey or pki based authentication system which only they would be able to use.

Hearing on permission to send funds and to go through what the funds will be used for.

Have you forgotten Mowbrays runs which were much worse than this. He just couldn't mould our kids since December. I am not sure what you expect, we have no experience through out the side, no fight and no forwards. Mowbray was always allowed to sign experience, the season we just haven't been able to sign that due to budget cuts. -
That *was* the January Window

With the EFL system only 2 people at a club have login details and can register a player, the club secretary and as a backup the CEO. So it's either Silvester or Waggot that didn't submit properly. They can't blame anybody else as login details shouldn't be shared. -

If both of your main finance people leave it is never a good sign for a business continuing as a going concern. The times I have seen this is when something dodgy has happened by the finance team or when you are about to enter administration etc and they are trying to protect their future employment prospects. -

It was always going to be high, we had just received the Wharton cash. In reality he was just getting a forward in till end of season and used Ennis sale to fund the loan. A good deal really. With Ennis it was a 50/50 low risk punt. If he goes to Stoke stays fit and scores 10 goals towards the end of the season we'd be having a very different conversation. There is talent there, we just haven't been able to harness and develop it. -

Both sold, Gallagher leaves on a free, hyam and tronstad also sold if suitable offers come in I believe they will be after another 25% budget reduction. -

I would expect they haven't been given permission to do so from Venky's. -

I just don't think we have the players to grind out results at the moment. A lot of teams set themselves up to nulify Brereton, we don't have any players who scare other teams now.
