Hard to see how Crozier Durberry even makes the bench when the injured players are back The lad has a bit of talent but at this stage in his career he is just too lightweight and the games pass him by when Ohashi is back he won't get a look inn

Let's see if anyone "decent" not crap like Karanka sign a long term deal here We don't go up and the same thing will be happening next season, our head coach will want out The club should be throwing money at a short term appointment till the end of the season.They can't give a new manager clarity on budgets or contracts Nobody decent is signing a 2 or 3 year deal here without knowing what they will be working with next season

Beyond pathetic

But why would anyone decent sign up here long term without knowing what budget they have and what the contract situation is?

If Boateng is given the job as head coach would you be dissapointed In the club? We should be looking to get the best man possible until the end of the season. We should not be looking for a longer term appointment now unless the club can give a definitive answer on the transfer budget for the summer and what the situation is regarding contracts. Yeah I remember Burnley doing that and I remember most the comments towards it were negative There is no reason for us to appoint Boeteng and insist the new manager works with him

Owen will probably be off in the summer as he seems to move clubs every season. What do you know of Wicky to say he would be a good appointment? Work experience guys like Gestede picking our manager. What could go wrong

But it wouldn't be normal for us to appoint Boeteng and then tell the new man he has to be part of his coaching. We will already be expecting the new manager to keep Lowe,Johnson and Benson There isn't a job for Boateng unless the new manager asks for him Karanka would be a shit appointment Shortlist(if it actually is)Looks poor

Carsley won't give up the England under 21s to come here If he fancies a crack at taking over a club he will look for something stable which isn't here

The most ridiculous part of that Nixon article was when he said the club are considering George Boeteng as part of the new coaching team Talk about backwards, surely you choose your man and let him bring in who he wants.He will already have to accept Lowe and Benson

Rob Dorsett is saying that negotiations are ongoing regarding Gardiner and Downing and its unclear if they will be with Rovers tonight Expects an announcement on Eustace later today

Agree to a certain extent, as its evident on other sites that some are leaning towards the clubs version ... But on here I see people who know the owners are the real problem, are willing to take action (protests etc) and know the board are not fit for purpose They just feel let down by John and are gutted another season is going to come to nothing, just more ridicule in losing our head coach to a relegation contender

Reading on here I haven't seen anybody trying to shift the blame onto Eustace and away from the owners and board. Everyone is aware that our ownership is the major issue and they are the ones that need outing from the club. But people are allowed to be disappointed in the conduct of Eustace aswell

No it isn't. He was saying this only days ago when discussions with Derby had taken place. "We are in it together " implies despite the issues he is committed to the job in hand. Guarantee the likes of Travis are absolutely fuming with him

No I just wouldn't say anything on togetherness or family or we are In it together when I had one foot out the door

Ffs this again

But again if Eustace believed no future for him here why Is he speaking about togetherness and fans players and coaching team together upto a few days ago I'm not arguing that he didn't have major reason to be unhappy. He has acted like a snake in the way he has gone about it imo. Il wait and see if he is critical and open in what he says on the situation once confirmed at Derby, if he has an nda then I expect him to say that and say he can't speak about some things.I don't want to hear him talking about being closer to family,Derby a huge club etc

Do you not think he has let the players down? We all get the major issue is the owners and the people running the club but if true that Eustace has been courting himself to other clubs for months then that's bullshit, and he has shit on both the fans and players. Jdt was critical throughout, up to a few days ago Eustace is spouting the blackburn family line and going on about togetherness?Standard manager speak some may say but not if you have your heart set on leaving Like for example when he was speaking with Sanderson over a move here did he mention that he was itching for a move away?

Watford and Norwich losing

Phil Thompson was very sympathetic towards our plight with big sam(although he readily admitted that he didn't know the venkys were still owners until this kicked off) Said it was a disgrace they hadn't been to a game in 10 years

The derby paper was saying he was meant to be confirmed tonight One of posters on derby fans forum disagreed and said it was set for a Thursday announcement

Yeah it is and I'm not disputing it's on the owners and the board and we are poorly run But for me at the moment this is not reflecting well on Eustace at all and he is shit on the group of players that he was calling family etc in near every interview when it's becoming apparent he was touting himself to other clubs for months now. Wonder if he told Sanderson that he was itching for a move away when he convinced him to come here.

Good post But it was Eustace himself who brought the being away from family line into it the media on Sunday

You can't bet on them There isn't a market yer, like someone else said above that will just be AI generated

I can say that I'm happy we didn't bring Dembele in On the bench in the last game for Oxford.No surprise really he ends up out of the team at every club he is at. Eustace has a right to feel aggrieved if he was led to believe his voice would be loudest when it comes to signing players, but the recruitment was the same under JDT Going to be interesting to see how the players react and what's Said about Eustace departure by Travis etc

Yeah the market will only open up when Eustace is confirmed at Derby
