Yep, it’s all very strange, but be interesting to see if JDL can quietly move them on once he has his feet under the table…

I suppose he really doesnt need to move them on.  All depends on what responsibilities he allocates them .

They may have little impact on training whatsoever.

Clearly Greg Broughton has had a major say in the recruitment of JDT and his staff, which is a good sign. I also like the idea of a coach who’s prime  job it is to prepare the team, and leave recruitment up to the DoF. Great stuff, I can’t wait to watch the next chapter in the history of Blackburn Rovers.

[AllRoverAsia]

Excellent news and good that he has brought his main assistants with him.

Let's hope that the owners give him some cash for the window.

Welcome and good luck, JDT!

Here we go! 🔵⚪

[OldEwoodBlue]

We can't complain.

A different type of appointment and direction from what we have grown to expect.

Now he just needs to be good.

Hope they can now recruit well and get them fired up.

 

Feck me they are up early today with this one.

So long as he has input ie tells them who, what he needs and they go out and get him.

Unusual for our lot so could be.

Exactly why we needed a new brush.

keeping on Lowe/Benson

Under contract and Venkys won't pay compensation? Will go when contract expires?

I'm speculating of course.

Welcome and good luck on this new adventure JDT, BR, GB. Looking forward to seeing you build the team.
All we need to do now is get rid of the dross and hangers on .... You know who you are ... Maggott, Lowe, Benson!

Welcome JDT, lets hope you make it a hat trick of titles at Ewood. We can finally move on and prepare for next season.

This is a different direction it genuinely is the start of a new journey so lets give it a fair chance the guy will need to find his feet in this league.

Those running the club need to back this new set up 110% not just decide they've done their bit now and ignore it for another 3 years.

The next step should be sorting a boardroom setup who want to push the club forwards, want to re engage with a large swath of the irregular fanbase.  And have the actual gumption how to do it.

Absolutely. I’m feeling optimistic already….but then again…..I always do when a new manager walks through the door. Slow learner!

Happy days. When does the transfer window open and the fixture list come out 😂

Can't be far off, it's an early start to the season (July 30th) because of the World Cup next Winter.

BTW, don't know if everyone is having the same problem but that bastard Aeriel ad is being particularly troublesome this morning to celebrate the arrival of the new management team!

is that likely to be today?

Probably in a couple of weeks when his work permit is sorted.

[deanives]

Welcome JDT! Exciting appointment and excellent that he's brought what seems like an experienced assistant with him where he had success at Malmo with him.

The 3 year cycle of FFP should of restarted this year? So hopefully funds available to him to build.

Building bridges (communication, transparency and approachability) with the fanbase would go a very long way for starters

Its a sign ..Clean fresh start ..on a 3 year wash cycle Rev..

[ItsRoverZ]

Excited about this appointment, although would of loved Carvahal or fake, I think JDT is the best of the other bunch bar maybe Knutsen (who we never really went in for?) 

Really excited to see what we do in the market now too, bring on the new season!

Exactly, one or two stained pairs of trollies still whizzing round in the drum but hopefully we're moving gradually in the right direction?

Not really, if he's sensational and gets poached we'll get compensation and the converse if he bombs.

Mowbray imo did a poor job and lasted five years though so based on that the odds are JDT will be here 3 years if he does an OK job unless the owners get a lot more ruthless.

So like I said, if he wants to be here three years, he will be. A contract is a contract with these owners as we can see with Lowe et al.

[neophox]

Welcome Jon Dahl Tomasson....!! He brings his assistant from the time at Malmoe which is good. 

 

Also Ben Rosen is a highly rated coach joining in. Been with the Danish national team, Fc Copenhagen and Malmoe. At the very top.

Farke, or Wagner would have been more of a known quantity and who I'd have liked but it's good to see we've thought outside the box and not brought in a Dobbin like Adkins, Monk, Pulis or Pardew. 

Now I said that, he'll be worse than Paul Ince was, and play Dolan as a target man, and so on.
