I think Hughes will be great for us. Not only has he got experience from great managers (Ferguson et al) but also he might help out our lagging strike force with some decent tips. Because no offence to Dean Saunders he was never in Hughesy's league as a striker, and so hopefully Hughes will help sort out a main problem. Although here I am not saying that a great player makes a great manager and that a poor player makes a poor coach. They are completely different roles. Lets get behind him and see how this new stage in Blackburn Rovers history un-folds!!

I was joking, trying to lighten everybody's foreboding. Carlton Palmer is not worthy of our club. I would love to see Colin Hendry involved with the club as a coach if he is not good enough for management! But Strachan a close 2nd, but not Newell please no!

Looking at that list of available managers, how about Carlton Palmer? He has good knowledge of the premiership and must have experienced many different stratergies and tactics at all of the different clubs that he has been at. H ewill also obviously be keen and available cheaply His managerial experience at Stockport County can't damage his credentials too much?

faggot

Emerton is quality, just needs to settle. It isnt unknown for players take along time to settle. Look at henry took him a season to fit in, now the best player in the country.
