Valérien Ismaël: Blackburn Rovers Head Coach
unleaded replied to DE.'s topic in Blackburn Rovers Fans Messageboard
Decent appointment for me … Got a mixture of JDT & Eustace … I like my managers like Souness & Hughes who are leaders and are not pally with the players to an extent…… He’s a decent age too as not too old & not too young like Gary O ‘Neil types …Got plenty championship experience Hopefully he doesn’t look like the one who expects his defenders to play tippy tappy at the back which gives me kittens … we just don’t have the quality of player to pull that off ……..Plays attacking football further up so that excites ……Good luck to him …- 332 replies

Adam Owen helping with the coaching side isn’t a big deal to me … after all he’s the clubs technical coaching director… Eustace took 2 coaches along with him we are short..Benson is with the goalkeepers mostly …. Hes got a vast knowledge & experience in this field and It’s wise to use it for now until a new boss is found … 2 wins out last 3 isn’t bad …..

Looked like the seniors have taken over the ship performance …. Lowe picking Forshaw over Buckley & Hedges & Weimann selections were strange …….Lowe has fast tracked Forshaw out of nowhere…….Got completely ran over in middle of the park & absolutely no creativity From the wide areas …… Lowe back to scouting future opponents I think … He comes across as weak ….
-
Here’s hoping Duff is one of the few mentioned in Nixons article who falls under the “ some are in work and keeping their interest secret.“ … Would love Duff working with Lowe & Johnson …… The xLiverpool coach hasn’t lasted 6 months in his last 2 jobs …He’s just a name with no substance & other One is dinosaur from Spain whos last job was in Israel !!
-
Looks like he already had a deal set up with Swedish club Malmo who were all ready to take him during Jan but he refused now he will get a signing on fee plus his wages ….5 Games all season all sub appearances …. good Riddance…
-
He didn’t want Gueye Didn’t want Ohashi didn’t want Germain didn’t want Batth didn’t want Kargbo didn’t want Mostafa didn’t want Ribeiro & then finally didn’t want Blackburn ……
-
Gary O Dear is not for me …. Hopefully his wage package would be the end of that …. He has absolute no championship experience never mind fighting for playoffs instead He’s been firefighting mostly at the bottom of the PL …..He comes across as very boring and his nice guy image has won him plaudits…

Ask the guy who’s turned up in Derby..

Like Lowe said he’s a ball carrier with speed ……Rothwell was the last one we had so really exciting to have him on board ….Recruitment team been chasing him since summer…. Glad the button was finally pressed on him …Looks hungry too …
-
I would personally go with Damian Duff with Lowe & Johnson …The latter 2 would carry on the current tried and successful system and Duff would inject the freshness required with the little bit of Passion …. Not into this short 3 month appointment… Big Sam deff no … he can’t even put 2 sentences together these days …

5-0 could have easily been 10-0 .. wow what a player Jayden Sergeant is ….was best player on the pitch !! Joseph is a Pape Junior .. Harvey Higgins was unlucky not to get on the scoreboard…. Liverpool poor as well as the pitch ….

Recruitment Team / Scouting
unleaded replied to unleaded's topic in Blackburn Rovers Fans Messageboard
There was a power struggle with the likes of Parkes Rudy & Adam …. They were hired to look after the recruitment side of it .., Eustace was hired to coach and at the beginning knew & agreed & signed up to the script on how the set up would be ie he would highlight the positions and strong points he needs … He was happy at beginning but as his stock grew he started to interfere in player recruitment side of it .. He wanted to keep Gallagher with his massive wages and his injury record … he was overruled rightly and he also wanted experienced old championship players who came with a premium ( 38 year old Mcfadz 40 year old goali Ruddy Cooper Weimann and few other pensioners ) Club felt that was short term and that costs as well with a limited budget & he didn’t want the likes Of Pape Gueye Yuki Ohashi Paik Kargbo ( summer) and Ryo Germain (who’s deal was 99 percent done) …. Parkes walked away cause of the constant interference from Eustace as he set deals up only for them to be delayed or players no longer willing to wait around …. In essence the power struggle continued and as results improved his ego grew too …. You can’t let every coach sign his old players ( we had that nightmare with Mowbray who appointed Venus as Sporting Director and signed his pals or sons of pals …. If the coach doesn’t work or In this case someone who was applying for jobs left right & center you are stuck with his old mates on long contracts …Not Clever …. Hopefully the new coach will know how the structure is and if he’s happy to sign up to it then it’s a much more smoother run club ……- 55 replies

Voted Duff …He’s got a connection with the club as well as the academy .. He’s totally changed from his playing days personality wise and looks hungry & passionate… Edwards as second choice …

Recruitment Team / Scouting
unleaded replied to unleaded's topic in Blackburn Rovers Fans Messageboard
They have recruited Asher Hines from Arsenal … First Team Video Analyst Scout last month … think since the departure of Parkes they are building up the data scouting side of it …Still waiting on head of scout … -
Recruitment team has been put down all season by Eustace with his sly comments week in week out but these same players have helped the squad to be consistently in or around the playoffs up to now….Just don’t understand JE why he would not give it a chance … but he’s burnt that bridge with his own hands and will have to live with it now …I really enjoy this squad which has a mixture of everything… From the Mavericks to the good old championship rocks … with a pinch of foreign exciting salt .. Well done to the recruitment team ( Rudy/ Adam who might not have the biggest budget but they done well to stretch it to its maximum…..
