I don't think many find Eustace completely innocent in all this, but he only gets about 10% of the blame from me and the other 90% goes squarely on the CEO, COO and the Indian Royal Family. He's annoyed me slightly with his behaviour but it pales in comparison to how angry I feel towards the other parties, it barely registers.

Not advocating for Harris but the "style of play" thing has annoyed the f*** out of me for 15 years. It's why we got rid of Big Sam and partly how we ended up here, boo boys whinging about style of play. If we got someone in for 15 games who played horrendous turgid football and we won 10 of them 1-0 and got 6th place I couldn't care less how they did it.

Sorry if this sounds rude, not wanting to be personal, but why would the club respond to you or any fan who emails them asking for info about first team players and management? No matter how badly we are run?

I think if we were firefighting relegation near the bottom he would be a shrewd appointment but I don't think he's the one to hand a 15-match playoff free hit to.

I think even if Johnson is nominally 'manager' tomorrow, it will be a collaboration between him and senior players including Travis, Batth, Hyam, etc anyway.

I had no idea about these i'll be on Goodreads tonight 😂 In other news if he doesn't win tonight with Blackpool he'll set a club record for home games without victory, Waggott probably left him 50 voicemails already

And now according to Sky Sports Shane Duffy has put Potts on a stretcher 😳

They haven't, it's probably last days of Rome style Chaos at Ewood tonight. They'll probably announce tomorrow as the team boards the bus that it's Johnson

Rabid mutt Osmajic has just put North End 1-0 up at Norwich, who knows, might STILL be in the Playoffs by 10pm 😂 Long way to go...

That would be amazing! No win in his last SIX home games at Bloomfield Road 👏💩

I think some have pointed out either here or in other threads that Cooper probably got a sizeable payout when booted from Leicester. A Premier League payoff is probably more than we would offer in actual wages, and he would probably have to forego it to take up another post, so I can't see him coming to this snake pit for tuppence to reminisce about the O'Brien debacle. So I think we should rule him out, despite him probably being one of the best candidates out of work currently.

We can probably take many of the odds with a pinch of salt for now, it's a small betting market in the grand scheme of things with not much interest, any unusual major movements in prices are often down to small patterns of betting which the industry knee-jerk reacts to, to prevent ITKs rinsing them like those Tory MP staffers did before the election last year. It's all just very uninspiring, and tiring to be here again 12 months on

I couldn't tell you mate but would be interested to go back in time and have a look. I'd guess that the shite ones we have at very short prices were probably a lot longer elsewhere. Just had a look at Derby local paper from last week, they had Richie Wellens (odd!), Edwards, Stevie G, Cooper, Dyche, Martin as front runners in the article. No mention of Eustace, interestingly!

There is no denying that he did well with Luton and that's on his CV and can't take it away from him. They battled bravely but ultimately weren't good enough last season, now this season, despite having the parachute payments, the wheels completely fell off. Which makes me wonder whether his Luton success was a bit of a Coyle-esque fluke... None of the people on our bookies list were the choice for Stoke, Cov or Derby, 3 medium sized championship clubs who recently changed manager and were in much worse positions than us. I wonder why.
