You didn't want Eustace in the first place either. You complained about the rumour shortlist, but can't one single name who you would like which I find totally baffing Cos we are 6th and we have a good chance of playoff if we select the right candidate we can do, I still believe that there is 2 places in playoffs for someone to grab. Rovers should be making a quick decision and before Saturday game for me. what your view on Lee Carsley?

a point I have made since last night. Communication poor yet from the club. simple statement like this " whilst Eustace and co have talks with Derby, Damien Johnson will lead the team as interim head coach and support by David Lowe, Mike Sheron, Karl Hodges and Ben Benson. "

was in the director box on Sunday as normal

Correct. He is evens odds now Blackburn Next Permanent Manager Betting Odds | Football | Oddschecker

Its seems that Rovers have had this shortlist given Nicko hints since Sunday. Wicky was close to getting the WBA job before but broke down over one of his coaching staff wouldn't come and his GK coach he wanted couldn't get a work permit. I could get behind that but whether he would come with his own choice of staff I don't know. Hopefully we been talking to him off the record and seeing whether he will come or not without his own staff. If not, moved on very quick. O'Neil, It is someone I think would be good choice for me but doubts whether he would fit our footballing structure and whether he would accept those terms Carvalhal has always been a head coach who doesn't stay long at any clubs and I'm not sure that sort of appointment is right for the club Karanka,, had success at Boro but his man-management skills seems to be possible a problem plus his lack of success since that promotion at Boro I would like a new head coach in by Friday cos we have a good chance of top 6 and the right appointment could make this happened. Its seem that the search for the Eustace's replacement is being done by Gestede and Owen who I guess with make their choice to recommend to Pasha who then will decide yay or nay. I'm not surprised that it is mainly foreign shortlist given that they will work under Gestede has Head of Football operations and Owen has head of Technical development, whilst having little say in transfers. I'm not sure O'Neil would accept that but you never know.

I asked again, who else would you like to see on the shortlist? Any names? Any?

Who are you really expect to be on that Shortlist? Any names you would like to see approach instead? Any one? Why is that list of Terrible?

He was here as youth coach years ago.. Was on Robins staff at Coventry before sack

Nicko is saying the Rovers shortlist Gary O'Neil Altor Karanka Raphael Wicky Carlos Carlavhal Also possible that George Boeteng could be appoint to the coaching staff

This is where the club let itself down every time. This situation should have been resolve on Saturday night/Sunday. Rovers would have seen the rumours and did no one asked him pre game, is the anything in these rumours/report, yet Rovers management did nothing yet again No presser yesterday Cos it called proper communication with your fan base and stakeholders. The important people that is your core of the club. Rovers could have simply said that whilst Eustace and co have talks with Derby, Damien Johnson will lead the team as interim head coach and support by David Lowe, Mike Sheron, Karl Hodges and Ben Benson. That's proper and correct communication with your fans

What does it matter why he ain't coming. Full stop. I read somewhere that Cooper is still being paid by Leicester so no way are we paying compo for him I have no idea what Elliott has said. What your shortlist and who is first choice from it?

really guys? Of course its the business of every fan and stakeholder in the club. The poor communication has been mentioned to them several times and as a Rovers fan and STH we have a right to know what is going, who will be in charge for tomorrow game and who took training today. We the Rovers fan base have a right to know

is this a real question? Cooper is still being paid by Leicester and are we likely to pay his compo to bring in to the club RF99 The communication from the club is poor again.

Nope, I have email the club this afternoon asking who is in charge for the game and who took training today. No response, email sent around dinner time ish. Can @K-Hod, @Mike Graham @Miller11 mention to the club management in the next manager about the lack of clear communication to the Rovers fans about who would be in charge of the WBA game and who is taking charge of training whilst Eustace and his staff are in talks with Derby

I think I have been more than clear on everything to do with the recruitment side of the team and what I think went on behind the scenes in terms of power struggles, disagreements and comparisons on transfer targets. Is it? cos you trust the source of the info? Just like we know now that McBurnie was target despite you dismissing it. Here a question for you, should Rovers have sign one of three players of Bamford, Thomas-Asante and McBurnie who were Eustace's target for the striker signing?

This football Governance Bill will take years to come into force and IFR won't have the powers to removed Venkys. Venkys are running the club effective and as business Yes we all agree with how they are running and the decisions made by the owners and people appointed in key off the field roles. no engagement with the fans and lack of communication to the fanbase being a massive issue.

Fair enough. I think it was well known that I wouldn't agree its damming but as soon as I heard him say that I thought he is laying the foundations for the reasons why he wants out and using that as one plus he will say his lack of transfer say and lack of long term planning at Rovers for the reasons from moving on and going to derby. I don't blame Eustace but Rovers should have spend more and differently in both window. If we buying Karbgo for around £1m why didn't they not backed Eustace's choice of Dembele for example. Or why did we buy Toth instead of spending an extra 200/300k to get Jeffery De Lange as first choice keeper with Pears as number 2 or even selling him and signing Begovic as number 2. So I'm sure we would have all spent the money differently or signed different players given the choice. In January, we should have spent money and buy some players and long term contracts. Instead we chosen a short term approach instead of thinking of any medium to long term approach which is worry to be honest

No way is Steve Cooper coming here.

I've been waiting for you to something similar to me since Yesterday. The problem with your post is that you don't mentioned that Eustace was promised the £5m in the summer that GB tried to buy McGuire with in previous winter window when being offered the job and negotiations to become our next head coach. Then factoring in that GB and Kimberley plus other recruitment staff left before the summer. We appointed John Park, Rudy Gestede and Adam Owen into 3 different roles but all having a say into transfers and who we targets and possible targets during the summer. From what we know we had a transfer committee deciding who we went for during the summer, so normally and naturally you different opinions, different targets suggestions, disagreements and comparisons needed which is what we witnessed all the summer. No way, did Eustace wants or suggest Ohashi or Gueye or Toth as transfer targets but I think its safe to say that Batth, Weimann and Cantwell were his targets. Its clear to see Eustace wanted Dembele or Stansfield but gone neither. As I said, I think we witness a power struggle as such between Eustace and Park vs Gestede and Owen in the summer over signings. Both sides have successes and failures. Just to add that if me and you were in charge of making signings we would have different targets and spend the money so comparison and agreement will always need to happen just like Klopp did when he wanted Julian Brandt but his recruitment staff wanted and suggested Mo Salah. They convince Klopp to backed their judgement and Liverpool signed Mo Salah and looked at the success he been. Moving on to the January transfer window, Thinks its clear Eustace wanted Rovers to spend money and early in the window. We know he had his transfer targets for the number 9 position which was McBurnie, Bamford and Thomas-Asante. He expected Rovers management back him and signed one of those. We didn't. Eustace is big on Championship experience and That's doesn't align with Rovers budget. Rovers did signed 5 players with experience of English football but all either loans or short term contracts. I don't think any apart from Sanderson was his choice, with that I think Karbgo, Dennis and Ribeiro all have more than decent games against Wolves. I also think Eustace was unhappy we didn't invest more of the Szmodics money in the either transfer window and also lack of contract renewals of key players like Hyam, Brittain, Tronstad and Travis. So in short didn't have a simple director of football/head coach structure but an over complicated structure with more voices than ever with 4 or 5 people involved

That's signings Eustace, just like he wanted Ruddy, Dembele and Stansfield this past summer and he wanted one of Thomas-Asante, McBurnie or Bamford to be sign in January

I think we all knew that his family hadn't moved here and he was living in a hotel here. He was very clever to drop the family card post game Weimann and McFadzean were his signings aswell as Cantwell? wasn't Sanderson his signing?
