I am sure Buckley is delighted to be back under a new manager. A chance to prove himself. -

Lets get a couple more to relax the nerves. Old guys leaving the boot worries me. Don’t need 10 men on a day like this. -
Adam really has jumped from the frying pan into the fire. He is letting his football do the talking but it must be hard adjusting to life down south with the spectre of his admirer about to get the chop. I guess it is handy to have first-hand experience of a shit show.

What a difference a day makes. Thank God we were not waiting weeks for a new manager. I am hopeful about the Eustace appointment. He knows where the bodies are buried in this league. I think he can get a tune out of our team and nice to have a big Mac with an appetite, in defence. So on to the Big Club with two managers desperate to stick one on their former employers who binned them. -
John Eustace - our head coach

Welcome to the Forum. Thanks for sharing. Hopefully he will deliver on your comments. We certainly need tightening our defence. -
John Eustace - our head coach

The king is dead long live the king. JDT was angling for a clean exit with his brand intact. He has achieved that. Eustace managed to get the big club up the table before their visionary owners potted him for Rooney. All i want is a solid manager to get us playing gritty championship football, stop us titting around at the back, and get us a few points on the board. Starting today. -

Wouldn’t it be revolutionary if the players came out smelling blood and won 4-0. Then all pull up their shirts at the end and underneath it says “This was for the fans. “ Own it lads. You are the badge on the park. -

Waggott was due to sign JDT exit terms but pushed shred instead? -
I wonder wherher the disharmony is a result of our current league position. The beautiful football may have lost its allure upstairs as we wander into relegation land. The infusion of a couple of experienced hard bastards will hopefully shore up the defence. It certainly won’t lend itself to playing out from the back. Maybe an end to the Scandinavian imports and back to a more direct approach? It works for some of the Premier top teams.

That *was* the January Window

I agree with your agreement😀 At one stage I really thought that it would be Adam out and Big Mc in. I really didn’t think we would get the American lad. Why I am excited about having McGuire in is that I live in the States. The number of fans who will start following Blackburn and researching our heritage will be great. When I wear my Rovers shirt around people will recognize it. The standard is nowhere near Championship level. I watch Philadelphia Union, but there are some very good players knocking around. I think we have recruited players oven ready for the championship. We need that. We also kept Gallagher and he will want to prove himself to us or anyone else watching. -

Apparently Orlando have announced his loan to us. Hope it is not a Mickey Mouse announcement https://www.mlssoccer.com/news/orlando-city-transfer-duncan-mcguire-to-blackburn-rovers 🐭 -

Good luck for the rest of your season. Love your story and delighted Wrexham is on the up and up again. Good for football and good for your community. We remember the joy of a visionary owner with money. Enloy every minute of it. -

Funny old game and Important win for us Wrexham’s second attempt goes in and we are in danger of becoming cup history and JDT under real pressure. It all turned out rather nicely Important few days I think Adam is gone but anyone thinking of joining us would relish a home tie in the so called “Shearer derby.” I worry that our intrepid recruitment team given sudden riches will bottle it at the death. They are just not used to this level of wheeling and dealing, not to mention having to do it before the owners bed time. -

And some folks thought he was crap at one stage and he was about to be shipped out on loan. -

Goodbye Ipswich interest in Gallagher. Same old model. Ask too much. https://www.itfc.co.uk/news/2024/january/29/town-sign-striker-al-hamadi-from-AFC-Wimbledon/ -

Never a truer word. Wrexham fans are hard core dedicated and the reality TV world will be praying for a Wrexham upset. Not a night for pretty football as Ipswich found out. Maidstone had two chances and two goals. Even Liverpool and Man City were hoofing the ball over the defence last night. -

kind of on topic. Harvey Elliott blossomed with us. He is a joy to watch. Especially tonight. https://www.dailymail.co.uk/sport/football/article-13002533/Ratings-Luis-Diaz-Liverpool-Harvey-Elliott-Fulham.html -

Blimey Scenario 1 could be on the money 15 million quid. Thank you very much. My concern is giving a percentage of that money to the egg. Too much for a novice to play with. Love Wharton but a luxury in our current predicament. We need at least one striker and a midfielder to replace Wharton. some of the 15 million will help. -

Look no further than Paul Mullin who I fear will have a field day against us in the cup.
