Just watched the highlights. The Sunderland keeper has 'done a Pears' there for the second goal, hasn't he? Bloody hell.

Bonkers we've paid him off.

Isn't she dead?

Why did it take 30 days to push the button?

JDT would have done exactly the same thing if he could have found a buyer. In the end he was so exasperated with it all he left to manage an international team just to get away. At least Eustace had the decency not to down tools and throw his toys out of the pram before he left.

I was one of Eustace's biggest fans on here and I'll definitely gloat. We may pass each other like ships in the night at the end of next season, but I think it's going to take him to the last 18 months of his new contract at Derby for him to manage a Championship club again. I'm petty. It's not a flaw, it's a feature.

I'm the opposite - he had every intention of staying and was using the Derby offer as a trump card. He also had no interest in talking to Waggott and Pasha - he wanted to talk to the owners. I'm sure he knew when he walked into the Board Room and saw those two cunts sat there he knew his time was up.

This guy?!

Eustace was concentrating on what happens in the summer - I guess he wasn't banking on Dennis and Kargbo firing us to promotion. We're in a world of hurt in the summer without investment. For the record I definitely think he overplayed his hand and jumped too soon (and is probably going to get relegated with Derby), but his concerns are very real.

We're not even in the same ocean as Boro.

Mortgage on a home win then, yeah?

If it wasn't for the MASSIVE gap between the Championship and the Premier League (i.e. the 3 promoted teams are going straight back down again), Man U would be sweating right now. They're absolutely awful.

He doesn't own enough of the club to sell it, right? The Glazers sold him a percentage and let him run the football side of things. I think he's just an out-of-touch tax exile billionaire.

A 20 goal a season striker costs £20m, but a potential PL defender costs £40m?

Gerrard seems like quite a meek character post-playing career. He strikes me as the type that would sign an NDA and go away quietly after 12 months if it wasn't working out.

Wharton wouldn't have been here after the summer - he's simply too good. Phillips would have his pick of PL clubs if he'd have stayed a played rather than scurried off to the Spurs reserves. His greed has cost him quite a bit of money.

He looks the part when he's not kicking a ball. Less so when he is, which is admittedly rare these days.

He's twice the player Pickering is, that's for sure.

Did the press pick up that Eustace was at Pride Park during their midweek game?

I think he's a very lucky boy that Brittain has a burst of pace - Callum had to hurry to prevent Forshaw's horrendous back pass resulting in a goal - but otherwise he was pretty decent today. His best game in a Rovers shirt for sure.

I wonder if he clocked how grimy and run down Ewood is nowaways compared to when he was in charge...

Narrow it down.

I'm picturing Eustace turning up to take training on Monday morning like nothing has happened.

He's failed everywhere he's been after Rangers, so sure why not.

Shocking first half, excellent second half. Still absolutely no pace.
