John Eustace - our head coach

Do you think that getting 5 points from his last 11 games, most of them with Wharton in the team, was a major managerial failure by JDT ? -
Championship 23/24
Mashed Potatoes replied to goozburger's topic in Blackburn Rovers Fans Messageboard
I think if you make comments like "we really are the pits" that should be on the basis of something that has actually happened rather than your doom laden predictions. -

And yet we got 69 points in his last season, the same as JDT got the next. -
I can't recall seeing the name Diamini before ?

His predecessor would have stayed sitting down, with a gormless smile on his face. -

We meet the unemployed contortionist who's having trouble making ends meet. -
2024/25 Season Tickets

No, I have no evidence as to his level of popularity. I wondered why one poster had described him as unpopular and it seems that was his own personal feelings towards the manager, which of course he is entitled to. He hasn't been manager for more than a couple of months or so ; I would guess most supporters will want to give him a fair crack of the whip before they decide. -

I think they have to go for the win - which may possibly suit us. -

What evidence is there that the manager is unpopular ? -

You do know that JDT's superb first season resulted in 69 points, exactly the same as Tony Mowbray the previous season ? -

Mashed Potatoes replied to Upside Down's topic in Blackburn Rovers Fans Messageboard
However much ambition an owner might have I don't think it's realistic to imagine that a club in the Championship could match an offer from a Premier League club if that club really wanted the player. There's also the question of the lure of the Premier League which for some players - maybe more their families and representatives - will override considerations of what might be in the best long term interests of the player. -

But if he wouldn't have signed a contract at all without that release clause he could have walked for next to nothing. -

How did the club deal with Phillips' transition to being professional in a poor way ? -
Aren't you one of the posters who keeps calling on the club to "Increase Turnover " ? Yet here you call for the club to turn their noses up at the prospect of increased ticket sales ?

Nowhere have I negated the overall impact of their incompetence. But that began in 2010 with the dismissal of Allardyce and his replacement by Kean. The situation that those now employed at Ewood Park now face requires some very difficult decisions by them. -

As far as I know the only people talking about being fair to the owners are you and Steve Waggott ? When I say be fair to the club I mean the people at Ewood Park. -

Mashed Potatoes replied to Upside Down's topic in Blackburn Rovers Fans Messageboard
No - let's be realistic about the position that the employees at Ewood Park were placed in. I'm not interested in defending the owners who are useless. -

Ok - so you accept that the club handled the departure of one of the two Academy quality graduates was handled properly. But what would you have done with Wharton with all the pressure coming from India ? -

What would you have done differently with regard to Phillips ?
