Surely this talk of Boateng is just hot air wtf has the guy done in football to be even considered for a playoff push at a club like Rovers? It would be as bad as the Gestede appointment and another nail in the coffin of the club.

Starting to get a feeling we are heading for a left field appointment from overseas. A lot of the decent uk based managers being linked are all out of work but on good compensation packages from previous clubs like Leicester, Wolves, Luton etc. That's money I can't see us paying unless they agree to forfeit.

Reading between the lines it seems that Eustace had developed a toxic relationship with the board/owners enough for him to bail out at the earliest opportunity. No mean feat given the position the team is in and with only 15 or so games left to do. Presumably this is due to continual broken promises on investment in the squad and longer term thinking on players contracts/futures. This may have led to some fairly heated discussions and things get said that can't be then forgotten. It also looks like Eustace was pretty non-committed to Rovers in general based on comments about him showing interest in other jobs since the summer (Preston was even mentioned by LET) and living in a hotel all this time. So its a fair assumption to suggest he never saw much of a future here anyway regardless of the outcome of the above. Finally it seems from the socials of players/coaches that his relationship with the team and players/coaches was first class so he has done a good job of hiding his concerns from them and being professional in pushing the team forward. As you say the squad is in a better place now than it has been all season with the additions (ignoring the short term approach to them all) so for him to leave at this point you have to question him as much as the club.

Hope Derby go down and we smash them at Pride Park in March.

Going for some foreign coach with no experience of the championship and a different playing style at this stage of a season would be daft. Needs someone who knows the league and believes in a strong team work ethic over ‘Pep’ principles. Even a 6 month type deal for someone would be fine with me.

Feel like our set pieces have been the worst in recent years. The number of pointless short corners especially have had me enraged at times.

I just think we won't turn up mentally tonight, be an easy win for West Brom.

Reading the article from Elliot Jackson it seems like there has been some toxicity behind the scenes since the summer. I trust his words more than the propaganda from the club and toads like Nixon. If Eustace really has been putting his name out for every job going (including Preston?!?) then he needs to take some responsibility as well. Neither the club nor him now coming out of this looking particularly good.

Just when you think the club can’t sink any lower they release a statement like this. total fucking clowns

This just reinforces the point we are being run like in administration. Did I once read this costs £4m a year? If so it is an obvious saving to make for a club on its knees financially, however terminal to its footballing future.

I have mentioned it a few times but it feels like we are already being run like in administration. Ever since the court case started and the £20m a year stopped coming. Sold off all the silverware and reinvested nothing. Stopped giving out contracts of any length or renewing ones that are expiring. No investment in the infrastructure. No clear strategy or communication in the medium or long term. Only plan each season for the last 2 is to avoid relegation from the championship (Waggot even stated this in an interview). I think there are serious issues behind the scenes and they are currently being covered up by Waggot. I would wager that without the Venkys sending over the £20m again the club will be bust this time next year.

Where do we keep finding this crap goalkeepers from? Cantwell is like playing with 10 men these days the guy needs to leave

If you go on there it has a list of foreign channels if you scroll down. You might have access to some of these on local TV? https://www.livesoccertv.com/match/5158120/blackburn-rovers-vs-wolverhampton-wanderers/

Will watch at home today, hoping to see some of the new lads get some game time.

Not surprised if he goes, he has got visibly more pissed off with life at rovers over the last month in his media interviews. We all known why, the club is run by complete clowns with a budget and approach akin to a club in administration. Sell off all the silver, invest nothing in the players. No impediment my backside.

Eustace has up to this point done a good job of covering up the shambles behind the scenes when put in front of the media. You can see cracks starting to form during and after this transfer window though. He is clearly pissed off like we are and must be tempted by the next job offer to come his way.

Travis, Tronstad and Brittain all deserve to be on par with our best players. I imagine this goes against Waggots budget bonus as they are probably all moderately paid at the moment. Pretty sure Waggot will put himself and his bonus over the future of our club.

Give Kargbo 45 for Hedges and Cantwell for Weimann. id take Buckley off but rather not see Forshaw

End to end stuff. Be glad when I don’t see Dolan and Hedges starting once the new lads get up to speed.

Eustace has show he can get the best out of average players so let’s hope these new lads benefit from that. Without the last ditch signings of Dennis and Woodrow it was looking an abysmal window but for me this salvages it somewhat. All very short term though feels like we are under real pressure to strip any long term costs or contracts. Don’t know enough about either of them but if it means I don’t have to watch Dolan and Hedges stink up the place for another 20 games it’s ok by me.

Gotta be siggy looking at that been a total passenger all season

Have I read it correctly that we signed a player permanently on a contract till the end of the season? Wtf? Are they that unconvinced by him or are we just so close to going bust?

Be delighted if he does but get the feeling it isn’t someone Eustace wanted so will be a bench player till he proves otherwise.

So far we don’t seem to have signed a single player for the first 11. Lack of rumours would suggest we aren’t going to either.

Surely any foreign signings are now off the table, how would they get to Blackburn in time for any sort of medical or paperwork?
