Valérien Ismaël: Former Head Coach

[Craigman]

Nixon saying he has gone now. 

[Browjd]

He's gone. 

[G Somerset Rover]

It did seem a bit odd that the Ismael was nowhere to be seen on the Afolayan footage, or in his interview.

We can only hope his disastrous reign is over.

[Tugay-is-God]

Do we reckon that means they've already got someone lined up to replace him then?

[Tim Southampton Rover]

The transfer deadline day is never normal for Blackburn fans.

[rob_of_the_rovers]

Finally realised he wasn't getting any players and had a falling out? Or just booted because of the results?

[G Somerset Rover]

GONE - official:

[Craigman]

[Tugay-is-God]

Yep, all official now!

[TommyRovers]

Bilic announced at 6:59pm? 

[Rover down South]

February 2024 - JDT

February 2025 - Eustace

February 2026 - Ismael

February 2027 - TBC 😂

[Browjd]

That statement doesn't say DJ and co to take charge so does that suggest, they already have a replacement? 

[London blue]

Well well well. A glimmer of hope.

[alexanders]

Now I dont need anything more from today. The squad is more than capable of winning! 

[neophox]

Really a mess... to wait until last day of deadline.. shambles 

[roverandout]

Please let it be bilic. But can't see it

[StHelensRover]

As it's mutual consent I'd be fascinated to hear his version of events but we probably never will

[roverblue]

Pop the champagne. Gestede and Pasha next

[Polky]

Blimey.

[rovers11]

Brilliant news. One of the worst managers in our history.

He was unfortunate with some events, but deep down there was few signals that he could turn it around. The system clearly wasnt working. 

[roverandout]

Gone but they'll just bring in another chancer/yes man. It's a never ending cycle.  Until the owners go nothing will change 

[Armchair supporter supremo]

I was a huge fan of bilic in jis early management years and really wanted him to take over from hughes, feel like he's become a bit of a journey man in the past decade or so though

 

Still hos experience and man management could be just what we need 

[CrouchingNunhiddenCucumber]

Fuck me cant believe they've actually potted him, as always he was a symptom not the cause but he absolutely had to go.

Got very little faith in the clowns to get the next one right, but the best thing about this is that there is some pressure being felt in the boardroom otherwise they'd have Steve Kean'd it and let him take us down to League One 

[Gav]

That gives Pasha and Gestede another 6 months grace and no manager to moan about lack of players.

Win win for the gimps
