poor eustace is inheriting a squad so small and weedy that (1) it can play only one way, (2) there is no point in trying to change until he gets his own players in (good luck with that!!),it`s a poisoned chalice for him

(1) Apparently it couldn't.

(2) Yes we bloody well should or we're heading to League One.

Think Eustace will get the best out of these players to keep us there or there abouts mid table.

We will see if he’s good enough to push us forward - of course that will depend on the funds or lack of funds in summer.

[simongarnerisgod]

good luck john,you will certainly need it working here

[Oldgregg86]

He gets my full backing as always but I’m not confident this is the right appointment but let’s be honest it doesn’t really matter

I imagine he will bring one or two with him, for some bizarre reason thought Lowe and Benson must stay.

I think we already know the answer to that one. Which makes the appointment all the more immaterial.

[BlackburnEnd75]

Is it a good appointment? - Not sure

Is he an upgrade on JDT - not for me

Is it a sensible appointment - probably yes

Does it mean the project is dead - yes

As if.

I actually think the title of this thread should be changed guys. Surely everyone deserves a little respect

[miqaayil]

Has it been announced or at tomorrow game ?

 

Please change thread title

I hope he doesn't turn us into a Non League Barcelona.

nothing been announced,has he changed his mind!!!!!!!!!!!!

[Ewood Ace]

Out of work, cheap and uninspiring a classic Venky's appointment. But lets be honest no manager with any sort of reputation is going to go near us after the events of the past year so, to take this job you'd have to be desperate.

Means nothing ‘til the club announce it.

Might not mean anything if the club does announce it.

I’m waiting until we see him on the touchline to be certain.

[Torgeir]

If he's being lined up today he's had time to prepare for tomorrow's game as well. 

WIN NEEDED BADLY

I find it very uninspiring.  Meh, blah, mmmff,  I wiuld have rather had JDT backed, as long as he figured iut how to defend   Or we could have just outscored the opposition had he been biught his strikers.  He simply HAS to be at.lesst a little successful.

In all fairness we were defensively quiet solid for the majority of last season, we just couldn't score. 

He went full on gung ho this year but we all know he'd already tried to resign and wasn't allowed to leave. I think that played a massive part in his unwillingness to try and change things up.

The project was never alive to begin with. It was just more lies from the owners to appear as though things were slightly normal.

Same policy as player transfers and loans. You’ll do for now

Does he know waggot or have I made this up. I’m sure someone said he knows waggot from Coventry like Mowbray

someone said it, but they were at Cov at different times, so it seems they were wrong

Eustace was at Cov 1996 - 2003 https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/John_Eustace

Waggot was there from 2013 - 2015 https://find-and-update.company-information.service.gov.uk/officers/FKc4o-maeIjThZF3QPcISHHYkS4/appointments

Thank god for that

Given the complete circus that is Rovers at the moment, this seems like a remarkably decent appointment. Fingers crossed he helps arrest our rapid decline.
