Very surprised by Stokes's decision to bowl first today. Seems to me to be win toss bat first wicket. Pitch is flat as ever

The players are back for pre season testing which will be done by the medical staff there on Monday 13th June with pre season training starting on the 20th June so it will still be 6 weeks pre season training from what Rich Sharpe as said.

Personally I think the search for the head coach role has gone on far too long now. We should have had an appointment by now. I would have said is we should have been searching and interviewing for the new director of football in April and an appointment made sooner than we did. That was the crucial role. Rothwell was always going for me. Wanted out in January. I think Lenihan was going when Boro came in. On Nyambe, who knows if he will stay. Yes one I suggested to replace Nyambe Who I think will be upgrade Well I think we will be if we appoint the right head coach.

I thought he was interesting candidate and someone who has decent CV and has won trophies. I do agree but I do feel that 4-2-3-1 formation would suit this squad. Not that I know off tbh.

Does anyone know what Jon Dahl Tomasson's prefer formation and style is?

Rich Sharpe and Elliott Jackson have both said testing on 13th June. 20th June for training

Wouldn't surprised me. I think Broughton will make this decision on who to appoint now for head coach role now he has been appointed Yes it does. disappointed by that.

I would let him and look to bring someone who will be available for majority of the season

I have said several times what I think will happen. You can't say we are worse without Lenihan until we see who we sign and perform in the coming season. I have said what I think on the Lenihan situation if you disagree fine but that's my opinion.

Who knows if Lenihan would have stay but I think his Boro deal has been done for a while Ronny Deila might want to keep one or 2 of them as they know the playing squad. I would like to see Lowe and Benson gone with Bobby Mimms coming back in. Pleased Grayson won't be coming here.

Very negative attitude and thoughts. I think we will challenging for promotion in the coming season to get the Premier League. If people disagree fine by me.

Rovers didn't get 20 million pounds from the Armstrong's sale cos you forget that Newcastle got 40% of any profit we made on the 3 million pounds we bought him for, I have listened to the interview and Yes I would expect signings to be under 24 years old but we still need 1 or 2 experience signings Blimey give Gregg Broughton a chance. I'm sure he will be heavy involved now with search for head coach now. Well its no surprise to see the link and if he had become number 1 choice now if Delia deal can't be done now I think the work permit for Ronny Delia shouldn't be a problem given he meets the requirements straight forward but It depends how long it would take getting one form the home office. If he is the first choice then pay the compo and get the deal done. From the LT is saying he would only want to bring his his current assistant manager, Efrain Juarez Complex situation facing Blackburn Rovers managerial target Ronny Deila | Lancashire Telegraph

Losing Lenihan is a blow but we should be able to bring in a similar quality player and low cost. I named 2 who wouldn't cost much. Him going to Boro strengthen them but nothing like you are suggesting. If Nyambe we lose him aswell then the target remain the same. Promotion within 2 years as I said

losing Lenihan is a blow to the club. Good player and leader but he wants to new challenge or I think Boro offering a 4 year contract seal the deal there. Good luck to him there. We should be able to replace him with someone of similar quality. Well he signed 2 strikers last January who didn't performed for him. He will sign McGoldrick I bet

Charlie Goode or Alfie Mawson would be good replacement for Lenihan

Always stay positive me. I left at situation as a glass half far not half empty. Those 2 things have served me very well if the last 20 years of my life

I told you what I think will happen. We will promotion/top 6 challenges Fair enough but I do think we will make decent appointment this time. Why not just wait and see what happens financially? I didn't say key roles but I said play a part in the season. We can replace them all. We don't know if Nyambe and Lenihan will stay or not.

Let's see who we appoint firstly. But whoever is appoint the target should remain the same. Appointing Farke or Carvalhal would have great but we haven't. Let's see if Benson and Lowe stay on firstly. But given we Will need to appoint new staff to fitness, medical and physio departments plus appoint a new head of recruitment. Why fear the worst? Yes I can see them having an impact on our season if given a chance. Why not? Which departees?

Sorry Bruce, I have correct the post now. I don't have a CV in the footballing world

We need a good new head of recruitment and I am sure Gregg Broughton will be looking for one. I'm sure he has plenty of contacts out there so bring in a good one.

I think we should be aiming for the PL within 2 years now. We got a director of football who will have a footballing strategy to get us there. Now we need a good head coach who will play a style and formation that's suits these players. Yes we didn't get Farke or Carvalhal but we will hopefully make a good appointment but whoever is appointment the target should still be PL within 2 years Now you mention having to replace certain players who have left the club or might be leaving. This is all down to recruitment and getting in players who will deliver and improve the clubs whilst bringing some young players into the first team squad like Jake Garrett, Jack Vale and Ash Phillips. If Brereton does go then hopefully we will some of the money of that money to sign some players but there is a lot of good players out there for low fees or even on free transfer who would improve us. I see plenty of reasons to be optimistic for the coming season. If you don't fine but that's ain't mine.

After listening to Gregg Broughton's interview he talks about having football startegy and becoming a sustainable Premier League Club. Its good to see him having some ambition on day 1 of the job. Hopefully this can become reality now. Very interest to see who we appoint now as head coach

The recruitment and scouting team which need to new staff adding to it since Park is going, a couple of others have left recently. Its going to be a busy rest of the week for Gregg Broughton as we need fitness staff for Monday, Physios and recruitment staff plus a head coach appointment Thanks Mike. I did whether we can get him I just don't know to be honest
