This club doesn't prioritise results, surely the only pro outfit at any level to preach such a non-competitive mantra - and it shows. Think of Bowyer, think of Mowbray, now this guy. It's all an 'ah well' shrug of the shoulders and on to the next one. A development Academy that happens to have one of it's sides playing in a senior league.

If you have higher standards for Blackburn Rovers than this farce you are ‘living in 1995’? 🙄 Away with your LT comments-esque shite on here.

Does it matter if folk on here don’t ’give him a chance’? If that’s their opinion, that’s their opinion. He’s had a comfortable ride from the actual crowd thus far, which is fair enough.

Is he buggery. My initial view is he’s your standard lower league journeyman manager, happy to have a job so will come out with the standard manager cliched claptrap. Maybe he’s another Coyle or Appleton, we’ll see. But some of you have very short memories if you are comparing him to an individual that played a central role in completely ruining this football club.

Our pretty much play off level points haul to December has done most of the heavy lifting. If we do survive it will be by just about scraping enough draws and an odd win thrown in to scramble to 50 points.

He’s 29 a month into next season. So the chance of one more big contract and he won’t be getting it here - he’s off.

A feeder club to Luton, who were embarking on a five year stint in non league as this lot bought BRFC, but ‘where would we be without them’?

If that’s what counts as ‘strong’, no wonder we are struggling.

So much free time footballers yet can’t be arsed to even get to a rudimentary level of Spanish despite playing for a Spanish club and for a Spanish speaking country. Pathetic aren’t they.

Of course JDT has forgotten about us, as does every professional as soon as they get a new gig, they are all guns for hire. However, whilst here he was striving for this club to be more - it’s the fact that it isn’t run like a professional football club as to why he’s gone.

When you look back at that infamous eve of season Swag interview and we sat here at the time aghast at the outlandish (we thought) and unambitious things he was saying. (After two seasons knocking on the door of the Premier League) “We just want to develop players and stay in this division” (Despite the owners being billionaires) “We need to help them” And so it has come to pass- A squad full of loans and young lads ‘to develop’ as we ‘aim’ to stay in the division. Wharton sold to ‘help’ pay the bills for them.

The results were more than fine until December 2023. Obviously no question it went sour very quickly post then.

Court case aside, I can’t see them ever putting the club into administration, regardless of division.

You seemed to rate him pretty highly when he was here (which was noticeable as you don’t rate many folk 😅)

Can’t say I’ve taken to the bloke at all, but no he isn’t in the Ke*n category, not even close.

Because of ‘the model’… oh, there never was one after all? Who’d have thought it!

ST sales will be substantially down next season, but of course they’ll be far higher than 2k. Morecambe have more ST holders than that. We will, however, be back to the 2021 nadir of under 7,000. But I’m sure Swag will still find a way of hitting his stretch targets.

Armchair is anti-JDT so he is cutting his successor more slack… so just like when an anti-Coyle fanbase cut more of it for his successor.

So that’s just the one Saturday home win between October and April confirmed… roll up, roll up for your £400-£500 third division season tickets!

They are taking good followings everywhere this season as it’s their first season at this level for a good while and with the new owner there is a buzz around their club again, booming home ticket sales etc… imagine that.

Yep loan conveyor belt for him now… still, he’ll be raking it in compared to a load of the other lads he’ll know from his age group, so all good.

Coyle wasn’t a ‘coaching manual’ manager at all, that was his problem. He was all tubthumping personality and nowt else.

No you don’t 😅

Hosted in Blues Bar but he won’t turn up as he won’t have heard about it.

If his contract was bought out that would mean Coyle (far too late BTW) is still the only manager they’ve sacked since 2015. So if and when things go awry with Eustace, who’s buying his out?
