Or JDT says what he needs and GB finds someone he doesn't want. On the odd occasion he finds someone J DT wants, SW then messes up the deal.

Agree completely, just commenting on that particular point.

We were linked with Farke and Carvalhal initially after Mowbray left and they never joined. It's all very well being linked with people, but you'd imagine they'd run a mile if either they or their agent carried out a spot of due diligence. Plus we've yet to agree terms with JDT.

Another poster covered this point by saying that Fleck was by that time a free agent therefore his registration could have been successfully done at any point over the following month. Therefore it wouldnt necessarily have meant they would automatically have noticed the Mcguire omission in time.

Still no confirmation on JDT? If I had to put a pound on it I'd wager that the Club and JDT are a million miles away from agreeing on his departure. JDT probably won't be feeling anywhere near as generous following the Mcguire debacle as he was in summer and is likely to be pushing for almost his full entitlement. Whereas Waggott will probably be trying on the same sort of sob story tactics he reportedly employed when trying to diddle Adam Wharton out of his loyalty bonus I.e. the Club can't afford to pay you off. This could run and run.

I can't see it if only for the fact that like JDT he'll be financially independent so he's unlikely to be the yes man they''ll be ooking for.

But Gregg's a good 'un.........

Eh?

I'm a bit loath to discuss new managers whilst JDT is still technically in situ but I'm not overly excited by the prospect of Eustace. Quite a few Birmingham fans on Talksport seemed to think they'd peaked and were well on the decline long before Rooney came in. The general consensus as well was that the style of play was very boring. All that said, I bet we're a very long way off appointing ANY of the names we're currently linked with. Do you think any of them are fully aware of the financial situation? Or are they just looking at the table and thinking, "Blackburn have dropped off a bit, I bet I can turn that round!"

I'd be making sure I got cash up front for the hotel bill before I agreed to stay for any length of time!

Wouldn't be at all surprised if an unwilling JDT is still in the dug out Saturday. What a surreal experience that would be for supporters and players alike.

Not being funny but is it beyond the realms of possibility that one of those two could have given the password to another member of staff? Or do they have to go through fingerprint and retinal scanning James Bond style to log in?

Why doesn't Nixon name "the other two who want it"? Unless he does it's completely meaningless!

Not had chance to follow it today, so apologies if mentioned elsewhere, where is JDT ? Left, on gardening leave, or still at the Club taking training etc?

Actually ....admitting in public the Club put no pressure on results might be up there as well..... and putting out a statement the other weekthat we were financially secure without the Wharton money might turn out to be one of his biggest whoppers if not fuck ups.

Putting up prices by up to 25% during a pandemic for a season where no-one could attend and reducing the season ticket base by 70%. The underhand and eventually aborted attempt to flog off Brockhall. Failing to tie down the likes of Brereton/Rothwell/Nyambe/Lenihan O Brien plus embarking on an appeal we had no chance of winning. Mcguire

Players could argue they weren't given "reasonable notice". Is a player revolt against Waggott the best hope?

But you could say EXACTLY the same about Mowbray couldn't you? Gallagher at RB for 10 mins then subbing him?

I note you aren't jumping down those posters' throats because they're blaming someone else (JDT) for our demise other than the owners!

What else do you expect at a Club "with no pressure on results?"

The "squad" he left was minus half a team, Nyambe, Lenihan Rothwell and loanees JPVH and Khedra. You must be on a wind up.

The only silver lining you might take from this is that as Suhail wasn't there the meeting might have happened without the consent of either him or the owners, the players complain and he gets his marching orders. Clutching at straw I know but straws would appear to be all we have at the moment.

Yeah - after promotion from League 1.

Going back to JDT - it sort of pales into insignificance a bit given the Club's entire future is on the line and the head coach may be about to walk out - but we still have the little matter to attend to of winning enough points this season to stay up. The players can't be expected to perform to their full potential if they don't know if the Coach is fully committed or if he's staying or going. Either we need to know whether he's staying until end of season at least or going and being replaced and that needs to be done and dusted before the next match.

Don't blame you for going as you didn't know what was transpiring but ultimately the only effect of the meeting as far as I can see it is that the fans will now view the players (with some justification) as a bunch of slapped arses and the players having been told some home truths about the ownership will be even more demoralised than they were before and wondering how they've ended up here at such a dysfunctional Club. And that's before you take into account they don't even know whether or not the Coach is going to walk out in disgust. If Waggott was hoping this meeting would provide a bridge with the fans and have some sort of galvanising effect he's even more stupid than he appears. If he was hoping to drive a further wedge between players and fans, this should do it perfectly. Did anyone have the courage ( despite all the other problems you listed) to stand up and say the players were being a bit precious complaining about the atmosphere when we were losing match after match after match?
