Maybe the time has club for their fans to apologise for their conduct and ask the club to bring Steve Keen back. He is the best manager they have had since Sam.

I second this. They looked at risk of doing something with Super Steve in charge. If they go all out and get Michael Appleton as director of football, and Owen Coyle on the under 21's they could form a real trilogy of danger.

(Five live)
BBC sport "understands" that Blackburn manager John Eustace "is set to take the Derby County job."

Just now.

Going...going....

Any early contentenders for the Rovers job?

Hahahahaha

Imagine being in the playoffs and losing your manager to a club below you and in the relegation zone.

Every manager they've had since Steve Kean has left them in a lower position than where the great man had them. Maybe get him back.

[boyyanno]

That's a stinking statement by them, I'd feel sorry for the fans if it wasn't so fecking hilarious

[blatherwickstattoos]

That statement is comedy gold. They are basically blaming themselves. They wrote the clause into his contract. The clause has been met. How can they be mad? Hahaha

The impressive performances bit too. They got beat 2-0 hahahaha I can’t stop laughing

[NottsClaret]

Also, we're in no position to comment, but probably the only time any national media will be remotely interested in them for 5 minutes, and they've a typo in the statement.

[fatboy47]

Dyche would get them up.

[agreenwood]

Hopefully they get the next appointment wrong. Quite a few decent managers out of work who might fancy trying to see them into the play offs.

[Dyched]

Eddie Howe left us for a team in a division lower and got to the PL with them before we got there. He’s been there ever since

[TheFamilyCat]

Quite a few typos that I can see:
Significant investment
Good position to challenge
Strong position

Are you sure about that? We got promoted the next season. Did Bournemouth get to skip the Championship?

Best comment ever on there:
"Rovers are much bigger than a rookie manager with a moderately successful record"

[BleedingClaret]

I think leaving us was stated as Geographical and then he went on to manage just off the coast of Norway

[ElectroClaret]

They're having a discussion about this on Radio Lancs...
Brett Ormerod and Mark Atkins practically in tears.

Think Sean got us up before Eddie got the cherries up to the Prem League
Eddie to the Cherries in 2012 when they were in League One
Sean took us up in 2014 when Eddie’s Bournemouth were mid table with the Cherries having been promoted in 2012-13 into the Championship

I never listen to this station, but decided to give it a bash

[Boss Hogg]

I don’t understand the logic in this move but maybe I am missing something.

[rexe78202]

Seems his family live in or near Derby which seems to be playing a part.

[rexe78202]

Amazing they have just said Rovers have lost 7 of their last 11 games yet they are still 6th.

[bfcjg]

I think a lot of the window lickers were drooling when we lost our manager to a European giant who have won their league numerous times, for North of ten million pounds,not to a relegation threatened team for a few hundred grand.

[Shaggy]

Reading between the lines Howe knew he had failed with us and didn’t want the sack,, so legged it back down south. Been a good move for him to be fair

[equinox]

Howe knew money was heading to Bournemouth, make no mistake.

[Bosscat]

So his wife refusing to move north ... and his Mum passing away had nowt to do with it then

[ElectroClaret]

A fan on the phone on R/Lancs, when asked if she'd any ideas about a replacement replied
"I really wouldn't wish this club on anyone".

[rexe78202]

They seem to think that managers are going to be queueing around the block for the job.

Not convinced at all about that one.

[Clovius Boofus]

Heh. It's Shaggy. He's never said a positive word about anyone or anything.

[Alan Young]

They’ve a recent history of making good managerial appointments which has papered over the cracks.

There’ll also be some short sighted out of work managers who’ll jump at the chance to join a team in the Championship playoffs but you sense it will start to slide.

[bfcjg]

Such an elegant, well constructed statement from one of the Shadsworth wordsmiths.

Anyway, great to see the meltdown ten miles down the road. Oh, and dear Gods of Football, please let it be Rooney.

[BurnleyFC]

Eustace quoted as saying:

“Blackburn’s a sh*t hole, I wanna go home.”

[Steddyman]

They want BFS and think he will come (or has said he will).

[CoolClaret]

The B*stards are genuinely the gift that keeps on giving.

They properly thought that they'd turned a corner and were closing the gap on us after their big 1-1 win at the Turf, after we fielded a side that hadn't even had a training session together.

Then we turned them over in their first sellout for like 15 years..... and now their manager is leaving to join a club in the relegation zone.

Honestly, you couldn't write a better script. Absolutely HILARIOUS

[Darthlaw]

I think you all need to take a step back and reflect on when this happened to us.

Remember when Coyle ditched us in the PL, tore out our hearts after taking us to the promised land. Inexplicably leaving us for someone who were on the brink of financial oblivion and sticking a dagger in our backs as he pretended to be invested in our club only to leave us in the lurch.

Remember the hurt, remember the betrayal, remember how low we felt and how much it decimated the team and town's morale

... and think how its happening to them...

and try not to hurt yourself from laughing too hard.

[GodIsADeeJay81]

We lost our last manager to one of the top clubs in world football and got a rumoured 10 million quid for him

They lose theirs to a club at the bottom of the same league for half a million quid and they won't even use that money for new players

[Murger]

Excellent statement from the fans trust

Roverrrrrrs ... the turd that is stuck in the pan stinking the room out. Come on Mr Eustace do the right thing and flush it away.

[Vegas Claret]

Time to break out the happy dance, Eustace is a very good manager

[Vegas Claret]

oh my, how will they be able to tell ?

[Berkshireclaret]

Parker to Rovers?

[Claretitus]

T’Roverrrrrrrrs. The gift that gives, and gives, then gives again. Absolutely hilarious. You couldn’t make it up. The Shadsworth knuckle daggers will be wetting their bunk beds tonight!

[RetroClaret]

oh my, how will they be able to tell ?

so just business as usual
