That's actually a slight drift out from 1/2. Id be majorly surprised if that happened.

Glad to hear it. Tbf out of all the things you could criticise them for, postponing the meeting in the light of what's happened isnt really near the top of the list but I hope everyone gives them both barrels when the meeting does eventually take place and I look forward to reading the minutes.

Something along those lines. Ive heard the suggestion that he's been "sacked" at least once in the past but went running crying to Balaji and it was reversed.

Probably worth a fiver the way our lot operate.

Was it you that told us to look out for a Boro/Coventry/Birmingham connection etc? I thought of that us soon as Karanka's name was mentioned.

Given Stig of the dump appears to be leading us into the fray, do we need to be hoping negotiations between Eustace and Derby break down irretrievably?

David ******* Lowe? What?

Ha ha. He's welcome for a decent fee. No-one else seems to want him. Travis however, that'd be a whole different ball game.

Thanks, Paul Hawksbee and Andy Jacobs/Hawksbee and Charlie Baker.

The only thing that gives me a bit of hope is that if there's one team Id like to play when in a state of absolute chaos, it's a team managed by Mowbray. He'll probably go against the habits he instilled when he was here though and give us a right good thumping to rub salt in the wound even further.

Probably. Inexcusable that it hasnt been announced though. Makes it look like we havent got a clue what's going on and that it's utter chaos behind the scenes. I know that's probably the reality but still............

It would raise our profile massively. On the downside it wouldn't take long before any thoughts of him being a decent manager were gone for good. Thankfully wont happen because we'd only be prepared to pay one twentieth of the salary he'd no doubt be expecting anywhere.

Thanks for that, that's an image I'll never be able to shake off but Lol anyway.

I doubt there's much money floating about the "Next Blackburn Manager" market. One decent size bet will probably skew the odds massively. Unless anyone saw Lee Carsley going into Bet Fred at Mill Hill earlier on today? He could have carried on to the Wilpshire Hotel for lunch. (One for the old timers there)

Which show was that on and can you catch it on podcast?

Nothing's impossible but Id say there's as much chance of Carsley coming as there is of it snowing in the Canary Isles in August. He's on the cushiest of number's with the U21's, a virtual job for life if he wants it and he seemed particularly uncomfortable with the media attention when briefly promoted to England Coach. In the unlikely event it did happen though Id be fairly impressed. Very good reputation as a Coach, would presumably give the youngsters plenty of air time and would probably play a fairly attractive brand of football. In an ideal world he'd probably be a good choice after Warnock/Allardyce short term if we dont then go up.

It makes your blood boil. He's part of the reason we're in as much **** as we are.

Wonder why Eustace doesnt want to take Benson and Lowe with him having seen what they can do first hand?

Exactly this! Well done, you manage to inject humour into the direst of situations. And unfortunately it's needed on a regular basis with these pillocks running the Club.

Im not sure, I dont remember Burgin having it but he might have at some point.

If Eustace's two assistants havent got get out clauses like their boss then that might be what is holding things up if we're being awkward about the terms of their departure. If they want to go with Eustace however, surely even we couldnt be contemplating putting them in charge tonight? So as it stands: Eustace is still technically our manager but presumably wont be there tonight. We dont know if his assistants are leaving or if they'll play any active role in taking the team tonight And With four hours to kick off the Club haven't even announced who will be taking the team. Way to go Rovers. And some people are blaming Eustace (who the Club allowed to have a get out clause) for the situation!

For all that you wont have any blame attached to Waggott and Pasha on the basis they're only doing what they are told it wont be the owners who have so little respect for the fans they havent even bothered to tell us who is taking the team tonight.

This is really sad news . He couldnt have been that old. I got to know him a bit a few years ago when he was Landlord of the Royal Oak on Pleckgate Rd. Really nice guy. RIP Paul.

Have you had your head in the sand for the last 2 years? He may well be getting a slighter better salary at Derby but at the end of the day that wont be the main reason he is moving from a Club in 6th to one in 22nd. Which Im sure wouldnt have been his choice in ideal circumstances. He's moving because the owners have ceased funding the Club, we have no particularly saleable assets left, those we do have cant get new contracts and he couldnt even get a contract extension for himself. Basically we look like a Club heading for sale or administration / liquidation at the end of the 2025/26 season. Whilst I didnt think Mowbray should have got a new contract do you think Eustace should have turned a long team deal from Derby down and risked getting to the end of his deal in 15 months time in a similar position not knowing what was happening? If it was you, you wouldnt do that. As for Travis and Tronstad as joint player managers you're obviously being facetious so I'll respond in kind. Wouldnt be against it - Tronstad might be better as a manager than.......

Your dislike for Eustace practically from the moment he arrived has always been completely irrational. He gave the Club a chance to retrieve the situation. Are you saying the Club SHOULDN'T have provided him with assurances about players' contracts and a new deal for himself? And if they had provided those assurances and they turned out to be empty, that's their fault not Eustace's.
