I see the head coach role here better suits to foreign head coach who is used to working in such a structure with Sporting Director would be better for us. So I would be looking at people like Daniel Farke, Carlos Carvalhal, Xisco Munoz, Maybe Diego Martinez or Thomas Christiansen. Maybe they are some British options out there like Lee Johnson or Michael Carrick or maybe Liverpool under 23 Barry Lewtas. For the Sporting Director role I would be looking at Norwich's Stuart Webber or Luke Dowling or Steve Hitchen. Rumours that Stuart Webber will be leaving Norwich shortly. Cooper came in and transform the club. Forest were bottom of the league when Cooper took over. Cooper has won 22, drew 10 and lost 6 of 38 games there this season. They finished 4th

we aren't talking about Derby but his time at Everton.

I am not interested when Mowbray was official sacked tbh as we knew a couple of weeks before that he was going. Old news lets move forward and leave Mowbray in the past. On our search for head coach I would expect strong interested from British and foreign head coaches so they aren't reporting anything new to be honest. I would have expect informal chats to already taken place with a couple of candidates or their agents to find out their demands if they were offered the job. Here a question for you, Do you think the head coachrole is more suit to a foreign head coach than a British manager like Ainsworth or Warne?

Lampard understood that he needs to go more defensive and switch Formation to keep them up. He realised he couldn't play his preferred formation so switch it. Good management there.

How is the 6 man shortlist wrong? He got plenty right or close to as Glen Mullan said last week I asked about Duncan Ferguson being interested in the Rovers head coach job which he didn't respond so that could mean he has applied for the job here. Also nothing wrong with asking questions of them finding out what they know.

How do you know this?

not good news

Everton win against Brentford and they will be staying up with 2 games to go

fair enough. I see it going to the last day of the season. Can you win at Villa? If Everton win against Brentford they are safe and staying in the PL.

I have paid every attention over the past 30 years of supporting this great club of Blackburn Rovers thanks. If you noticed most clubs have cut backs on the their spending and there is a massive financial cutbacks among EFL clubs since 2020, But clubs can still complete and get top 6 without spending millions like Luton and Huddersfield. Mowbray had more than enough backing to get us a playoff place over the last 4 seasons and he failed and he should take the blame for it Mowbray was gone before the final game of the season and if you listen to his words his decisions was made a few games before the game. Oh I didn't know that you know where Rovers are up to with the interview process and which candidates have been interview, why don't you share with us all where we are up to? not everything is in the public domain or us fans knew everything is going on with the search for both roles of Sporting Director and head coach. Yes they have acted so decisively this season it has cost them their PL place by sacking Xisco Munoz when they were 13th in the league agreed

I never said I did but I know Lenihan lives in Manchester. Alan Myers or Rich Sharpe won't have insider sources like 2 other national journalists do like Alan Nixon or Pete O'Rourke have. Has Rich Sharpe ever broke a story with the club given him the info? I will stick with my point that I expect both appointments of Sporting Director and head coach done by end of the May. Just like we should have promotion aspirations for next season if we have the right appointment,

Wrong again. Never said a 6 man shortlist had already interviewed or Farke had the job. Maybe look back and read properly. I named a 6 man shortlist that I thought the club would interview and Farke was one of the favourites for the job

6 years ago have gone past and we actually on Waggott here as CEO and hopefully they have learnt. If they weren't interested they wouldn't keep covering the club's debt, buying the training ground last summer to stop an embargo from happening. The 10 million from the Armstrong money would cover most of the debt allowing us more scope to spend in coming season. He signed 5 players in January and he pick the signings and none made a impact cos his tactics and formations. Hedges look good in the few games but before that Mowbray refuse to start him cos he didn't under the tactics. We know that we had over 60 applicants for the job and hopefully now a shortlist has been formed for both job roles. Now interviews this week and appointment made the week after would be ideal scenario. I think most of the 6 man shortlist for head coach position will be overseas coach who are used to working in this kind of structure. Yes that really worked sacking their manager Xisco Munoz when they were 13th in the league. Now 2 appointments later they are going down.

I think if they was still in favour then Mowbray would have got a new contract earlier in the season. He didn't

Well think what you like but I would imagine he is happy living where he does and with his family. Not sure moving to the North East would suit him. Yes Money will play a part But also is promotion and a chance of PL in his career. So I will stick to point that he will wait to see who our next managerial appointment is first before deciding his future. make a good ambitious head coach appointment and he will sign a new contract here. Over to Rovers to make it happen Well your first part is very wrong and incorrect. Who knows what is going on in the background regarding the next appointment, I have heard several different stories from people about us already interviewing some candidates or have spoken to this people or not. Whether its true I don't know but we see in the coming weeks.

I think we should stick with God save the Queen and be proud that it is our national anthem.

@longsiders1882@sympatheticclaretwhat did you think of your performance today?

and Watford will probably sack him in a few weeks time after the season starts. Yes we know who we want to interview shortly. We need the appointments made before end of the month tbh. You are mentioning things that happened 6 years ago and in recent years we have nothing to based it on. Also why didn't Mowbray get a new contract if his agents are so favour by them?

I surprised you gone 5 at the back given how Spurs play. I agree there. Over to Leeds to win

Surely that will be decide who our next sporting Director and head coach is. I can see Lenihan waiting to see who we appointment before he decides his next move

I can understand by your first reaction. I can see why they went for him and given how he rebuild the New Zealand team is where England are not. I just hope they pick Josh Bohannon and Harry Brook in the line up at 3 and 5. Would be 2 positive moves for me

That is very accurate description of me and a fair one. Fair enough I disagree with this, Rovers are following a sensible and logical process for me of interviewing several different candidates and then picking the right candidates. I don't see what is wrong with this process plus Waggott and Pasha are running the search before Venkys sign the person off is what I think is happening here.

Wilder wants him and don't see him leaving there.

Haven't watched this in years
