Just like Hedges it was difficult to remember anything of note that he ever did apart from a spectacular shot into the top corner on Boxing Day 1970 v Brum. A bit like Hedges single wonder goal v Watford -
Valérien Ismaël: Blackburn Rovers Head Coach
alcd replied to DE.'s topic in Blackburn Rovers Fans Messageboard
I would imagine they'll be very happy as both Brittain and Wood had the standout season of their career to date. -
Spot on analysis. The players contract situation is irrecoverable now in most cases. That ship has sailed.
-
Dennis already looks like a waste of £20000 a week. Sanderson showed at Swansea why he couldn't get a game at Birmingham in L1. Woodrow done nothing yet. Forshaw barely adequate.
-
That is an utterly shameful goal for a professional goalkeeper to concede. It's what you expect to see on a Sunday morning in the park.
-
They held on to Siggy because both of the striker transfers went to the last day. Obviously that didn't please him.
-
Really hope that's a windup and not ITK.
-
Worse than George Boateng who's never been a head coach?? Or Karanka with just a single success in management and that was 10 years ago?
-
Jed Wallace is a player though.
-
Cheap option. The only thing that matters to Venkys.
-
Karanka would be an appalling appointment on a par with Coyle in 2016. Apart from a single heavily bankrolled promotion 8 years ago with Boro he's done absolutely nothing. Was an absolute disaster at Brum and since then has been out of work. Wouldn't be surprising though because the January window showed that Guestede hasn't a clue.
-
Liam Rosenier is in a job so would cost. End of. Karl Robinson???? He's in a job too. Never heard of Stephan. The other two would be fine but of course would only be to the end of the season.
-
Allardyce would walk over broken glass before he'd work for Venkys again.
-
The debt resides in India where they will have mortgaged properties to raise the funds to put into the club. They are currently kicking the can down the road to avoid it all kicking off there if the club is sold.
-
They'll keep control until everything, players and training grounds, have been sold off and the club is in the National League.
-
When Eustace takes assistants Gardener and Downing with him to Derby that leaves Damien Johnson to be assisted by the perpetual water carriers Lowe and Benson.
-
Not often a manager gets headhunted after a run of 8 points from 11 matched.
-
Replacement for Eustace would probably be to the end of the season. Not a bad gig for someone currently out of a job. Would also fit with Venkys short term approach.
-
He despises Venkys and rightly so.
-
No doubt Brittain, Travis and Hyam would be following him to Derby in the summer.
-
He'd have more sense than to join a club with only ambition to go down the leagues to save money.
-
The real issue the club needs to address is retaining the key players who've put them where they are now. Absolutely no sign and even less chance of that happening. Next season will be an absolute shit show.

Why the hell is the commentary on Rovers website coming from PNE commentators??!! Has this club given up completely? -
Standard of defending and goalkeeping is absolute pants. About L2 level and that's being kind.
-
There will be in L1 the season after next.
