Will he appear as a late choice ?

Will he appear as a late choice ?

Hope not , had a good start of 1 season with birmingham and now everybody thinks he's Jurgen klopp

 

[Sky Blue Goblin]

Don’t think so. Assumed we would have heard about an approach considering that Blackburn transfers seem to get leaked.

Plus if any employed manager was to come in…

I’ve got no problem with Eustace

He took Kidderminster to the non league play offs twice, as well as the first round of the FA Cup, vastly improved Birmingham and got sacked when they were in the top six, and has made Blackburn a far better team who currently just sit outside the play offs.

I dont think it will be him though.

In his full season at Birmingham they finished 17th , the following season granted they were 6th after 11 games , 3 points above us who had a bad start before he was sacked .. I think john is a step backwards from what we've just had

Evatt through and through.

But on Birmingham keep in mind that was there highest points total in years and then to get them sixith considering they were relegated is an achievement.

Maybe I’m being harsh to Eustace, Will have a mission statement here as part of the relegated squad. Has played attacking football and seemingly improves teams year on year.

Decent young coach. Not who I want but could do worse.

He is doing well with a poorly run Blackburn

Doesn't mean alot really , his Blackburn side looked poor at the CBS and the championship always throws up some curveballs .. they will fall they've lost 5 of their last 8

Although if they finish mid table still an improvement based on where they were.

Not often managers leave teams better than they found them

Sure but Blackburn were much better under jon dahl who had a 44% win ratio there to eustace 29%

I mean sure but it was a different job over the couple of years and when he got the job at Blackburn there were 18th with five points of the bottom without a win in 5.

If he leaves them tomorrow for us, he leaves them in 9th

He took over when they were 18th and they finished 19th

I just don't think the appointment would be in any way shape or form good enough and it's a step backwards

I mean it’s hard not to argue a step backwards regardless and I had falling outs with Robins at the end.

Don’t think it’s that bad and would be interesting to see him having backing as he did well when they had some before they got rid for Wayne.

Plus outside of many candidates, he has experience with the championship, plays decent football (another manager with a non league Barca ) and has a connection and reason to stay at the club.

Again you know who I want but think it’s better than some of the names I’ve seen

 

[Calista]

Strange how people try and judge managers by quoting league positions when the difference between (say) 6th and (say) 18th in a league as competitive as the Championship can be just a few results over a 46 game season.
There are so many other factors to take into account, beyond the control of any manager.

 

[Russell Slade]

I don’t think so. I’ve got a friend who works at Blackburn (also used to work at Cov). He hasn’t mentioned anything, and he knew about Fadz moving on very early

Yes plus finishing 18th with one club may be a better achievement than finishing 6th with another club.

I'd be pretty happy with Eustace I think.

Hope Hyams doing well

To be fair, the way some people have started talking about Frank Lampard, you would think the same thing.

 

[Macca]

Is he local?

 

[larry_david]

How is Dom?

Damn, beat me to it haha

 

[rob9872]

I quite like Eustace and wouldn't be against him being appointed if he was out of work and cheap, but if we're going to pay a manager release clause, then you'd think of someone top notch which he isnt, and with a decent budget to spend that I doubt we have.

 

[baldy]

Eustace would be such an uninspiring choice - he'd got Blues to 6th but the season had barely started
No thanks

 

[SBT]

Yet another manager who wouldn’t be anywhere close to being on our radar were it not for him being a former player.

The lack of imagination people have for these hires is baffling sometimes.

 

[David O'Day]

no, if we had approached Blackburn for their manager it would of been reported by the actual press.

 

[Russell Slade]

Hope Hyams doing well

I know he's truly awful at golf, that's all I've got

 

[GIMOC]

if the Lampard deal falls through

eustace will be in

 

[BackRoomRummermill]

if the Lampard deal falls through

I thought it was a done deal ……

 

[David O'Day]

if the Lampard deal falls through

eustace will be in

really, he wants the job but we haven't even approached him yet

this is from people who know him

 

[Evo1883]

if the Lampard deal falls through

eustace will be in

I'm honestly that excited by this news I've just taken 3 xanax to chill myself out .

I'm besides myself , first frank lampard then john eustace

What a time to support this club

 

[GIMOC]

really, he wants the job but we haven't even approached him yet

this is from people who know him

he had an interview last week. He is 2nd choice

we can only approach if we are to offer a deal

Okay mate your random whatsapp messages know more than people who actually know John Eustace?

Is this like when sheaf was on strike? Or when we was injured? Or that hamer contract?

We'd have to approach Blackburn, he's currently employed.

you can have an interview for a job without approaching someone. Cov didn’t have to ask Blackburn for permisson for an interview

if Lampard deal collapses then we would approach Blackburn but why would we at the min?

A club does need permission to interview another clubs manager tbh

as I said we'd have to approach Blackburn first

If we did that then surely someone somewhere would leak that
