One of his staff didn't want to come to WBA the other staff couldn't get a work permit here. That is the fact of the situation

very different to what you said. its quite normal that a new head coach would bring 1 or 2 of his own staff then work with the rest of the staff already at the club like GK coach and fitness coach

I suggested Dennis during the window didn't I? Also I have said more than once, we are 6th currently, made a quick sensible appointment and we can get a playoff place. Its wide open. Fair enough, I was wrong. You enjoyed saying nay never yay isn't it? 🤔 You slammed the shortlist, when asked for who would you like on the shortlist, you can't suggest even just one single name. I will say this, I don't see one outstanding candidate out there currently in the UK market, who I think he is the right fit us, like I did with Eustace.

wrong here, his move through fell through as one of his staff wouldn't come to WBA and another one couldn't get a UK work permit Tommy

I am annoyed at how slow Rovers reacted to Eustace Derby link and why did we wait until Monday Afternoon for talks with Eustace over the Derby move. Rovers should have sorted it out on Saturday night/Sunday morning. just so slow

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
