The managerial shortlist
#21
Eustace wouldn't be a bad pick. I did sense they might go for someone with Championship experience and he would be a safe choice.

For those thinking Blackburn's financial issues can't be worse than ours, one word: Venkys.

However, those wanting a manager to "loosen the shackles" and "play on the front foot" aka have no defence might be disappointed...but that's actually another point in his favour.

Pretty similar here, I'm fully expecting someone who's name scores highly at Scrabble and is vastly difficult to spell for loads on here.

I can't be the only person who hates this phrase. Like really, whenever I hear commentators say it or fans say it, I immediately disregard anything they say as nonsense, it's a phrase with nothing to do with football and doesn't even make sense in any context of football.

They are both being considered, underwhelmed by both personally

Schumakers CV hardly jumps off the page nd as above Eustace teams are certainly not easy on the eye

Both in the frame though but plenty under consideration

I just think the way a chunk of our fanbase acts like Vietnam veterans with PTSD over the Pulis era needs to end. Likewise preferring a 3 - 4 win than a 1 - 0. Both the managers we've got in recent times when fans were wanting "front foot football" were bloody awful and in the case of Bruce, given a ludicrously soft time by fans.

If he were called Juan Eustacio this place would be a Kleenex frenzy.

The irony. You said Corberan's football was tedious. I personally think Eustace would be a steady appointment but I can see many on here turning on him in 6 weeks when they see us not going all Ossie Ardiles.

Id be surprised if he were someone we’d go and pay compo for though, he doesn’t strike me as someone who would come out on top of Nestor’s algorithm or whatever he is using

Nestors algorithm is actually a bingo ball machine.

Eustace is a good fit: strong coach whose teams are well organised and achieve more than the sum of their parts. However, his teams are very pragmatic and the Blackburn fan I work with is not a fan at all. Doesn’t bother me but those who thought Carlos’ team was too negative won’t be keen.

Schumacher: inherited Lowe’s team at Plymouth and kept the momentum going. Flopped at Stoke where he didn’t inherit a team. Big no from me.
