Is it time to start a new manager thread? Clubs don't often make official approaches for a manager if they deal isn't pretty much already done. I can only think of the fella at QPR, Beale, who knocked back a premier league club (only to eff off to Rangers 2 weeks later mind) as a recent example of a club making an approach for a manager and not being successful.

Go on then. You could always add “assuming we need one”. 🙂

He doesn't read any of those emails. Secretary sends a template response and then files them in trash / deletes them.

The heat needs turning up on both him and Pasha massive fashion should Eustace depart for Derby.

Has there been any post match words from Eustace? Did he give a little lap of ta-raa after that game?

The man earns £300k a year and can't even afford fingers for his gloves?

[TommyRovers]

He's off then.

 

[Gordon Gekko]

Seems he’s on his way after his after match interview on Sky sports, how bloody depressing.  
 

Hopefully a new manager bounce and a few of the new players looking decent today may give us a glimmer of hope for the end of the season, clutching at straws I know.

Yep, that's a "goodbye, I'm off" statement if I ever saw one. ffs

This sounds a bit more hopeful. Sounds like he's seeking assurances.

[sharpysharps86]

He's as good as gone 😂

If he's wanting assurances for support I doubt he'll get them.

Waggott’s probably booked the taxi to Derby for him (won’t have paid for it though)

Not quite as clear cut from the full comments in the LT but still inclined to think he is off. Assurances mean nothing at this club. 

 

John Eustace will sit down with Blackburn Rovers' board to discuss his future after an approach from Derby County.

 

The Rams want to make Eustace, a former player, their next manager after sacking Paul Warne. Despite Rovers sitting sixth and Derby 22nd, the early indications are that he could leave Ewood Park.

 

Eustace has family connections with the Midlands and has been left frustrated by Rovers' activity in the transfer market. He did not deny the interest from Derby and will sit down with Rovers to thrash out his future.

 

"I will have to see exactly what's happened and talk to the owners," Eustace told The Lancashire Telegraph.

"At the moment, I will be in charge for West Brom. I have come here to help rebuild it and help push up the league. I have been very happy here.

 

"It's something where I now need to speak to the owners to see what they think as well. (Do you feel supported here?) I do yes.

 

"I am away from my family a lot, I am working my socks off, as everyone is, to make sure Blackburn are very competitive and stay in a healthy position.

 

"When I came here, we were on the way down. Now we're on the way up. We've had some disappointing results but it's something I will have to discuss with the owners and see what happens.

 

"I have been linked with jobs all season. That's down to the efforts of the group. It's part of the job.

 

"I have just come off the pitch and realised they have made an official approach. I am sure Steve (Waggott) and Suhail (Pasha) will want to sit down and talk to me. I'd be disappointed if they didn't."

 

"I think if a club makes an official approach, my first conversation has to be with our owners to find out what the situation is. Then we can take it from there. It is about reassurance too. 

 

Eustace admitted he will look for assurances about the direction of travel at Blackburn. He was asked about whether he'd want to speak to Derby and whether he felt supported in the January window.

 

"I came in with the team in a difficult moment, a lot of disconnect between the fans and the club," he said.

 

"I like to think I've helped with that and get it back. Most importantly, the players have with the fans. The efforts they put in since I've been here has been amazing, week in, week out.

 

"We asked for some quality additions to help the group in January and the club managed to sign two or three players. It's about a process, building properly and I'm sure we'll now sit down and speak about what's going to happen.

 

"It's about seeing this club get back to where they should be at the top of this league. The group have worked their socks off for the last year and you can see they're a very honest group of players. The fans are fantastic. Everyone wants it to be successful."
