1.51 points per game in his 90 at Blackburn. Whilst playing good, progressive, possession-based football. Even this season they’re scoring plenty and Sammie Szmodics is the leagues top scorer. If you wouldn’t be happy with Tomasson, I fear you’ll not be happy with anyone. I like JDT, think he did really well at Blackburn last season and had a good record before that as well, however I imagine the timing is a bit out on this one, given that we are (hopefully) towards the end of the process. That's not to say they couldn't add him to the mix, but imagine it would be pretty messy. If he walks out on Blackburn and straight into our job, Blackburn would have a jutifiable case of compensation. Agree very unlikely, we may have already chosen. Had he been available a month ago I would have thought we’d make the phone call at least, but you’re right, timing is probably out

2+2=5 and all that, but what if JDT was told to not turn up to press conf last Friday as they had wind we had approached him and since then the delay is us reaching an agreement with Blackburn..... Stranger things have happened....

Would be good to have a manager with three names. Has that ever happened before?

Seems a lot of tippy tappy and not much end result. Since they lost Ben Brereton Díaz they have no cut at all. Is this lack of decent strikers or the way he has them playing? 1.51 points per game in his 90 at Blackburn. Whilst playing good, progressive, possession-based football. Even this season they’re scoring plenty and Sammie Szmodics is the leagues top scorer. If you wouldn’t be happy with Tomasson, I fear you’ll not be happy with anyone. It was more a question than an opinion if I’m honest. I have no problem with him but I know a Blackburn fan who hates all the possession football with little end product. They have been beaten by quite a few bottom clubs in the last few months and been on a pretty dour run. If that run was ours and he was our manager there would be a very long thread on him on here.

I never really fully get this. There was more or less 3 months of the window to go when CC left the building, and LO'B and HT didn't leave until a number of weeks AFTER CC. How did he know that the powers that be definitely wouldn't have intended backing him more completely, and that LO'B and HT were definitely off (especially given even within days of that pair of transfers completing they seemed to be potentially not happening because of HT's demands - theathletic.com/4165671/2022/07/19/nottingham-forests-move-for-lewis-obrien-and-harry-toffolo-collapses/ ). Even then, we signed Rudoni, Nakayama and Helik AFTER CC had gone, and nobody else of any great consequence really left (Sarr?). You could throw in kasumu and vaclik too and argue that transfer window was one of our best in recent times This must be why we have performed so well then!

One of the best in the division in that role in midfield... but not one of our best 3 players that season.. Nicholls and Lees transformed the defence totally and were incredibly consistent. Sorba was on fire for a large part of the season. Obrien that season was good and reliable, but nothing special. Tofollo went backwards from the previous season, though he had great last few games. The figures some thought LOB was worth when we were selling him were hilarious. We got really good price IMO and so its proved. Agree with Tofollo, his form was poor to start with. O'Brien on the other hand was the main reason we finished third, take him out of the team and we wouldn't have been near. Best player on the pitch in most games, let alone the town team! He was that season’s Mooy.

I think part of the problem we have now is that the manager I think we need until the end of the season (similar to, but not Warnock; tried and tested, older & experienced to keep us up), is vastly different to the person we would prefer for next season (similar to, but not Wagner; who can bring new ideas with the flexibility to know that some ideas may work, some may not - but over a full season in the Championship, more will go right than wrong and we will progress to at least top half, safely, allowing us to really give it a go in 2025/26).
I'm not seeing the same manager ticking both of these boxes (especially from those named so far).

Nagle did say how well Blackburn passed the ball or words to that effect. Seems the sort of man that when he wants something he goes for it.

So disinterested he only put the £5m in to cover the losses the following season! I dont think Obrien was even one of our best 3 players in 21/22. Id put him behind Nicholls, Lees and Sorba. Other than the last 10 or so games, Toffolo had a poor season IMO and was rightly dropped altogether at one point. Corboran did leave when his stock was high..something he'd clearly decided to do whether investment was there or not and whether we sold a couple of our better players or not. Judging by the way his career has developed since he left would suggest you're probably right. Don't suppose he's too bothered and good business for Town and him (financially) I reckon. Some of us got pelters for suggesting similar 😁

But after we missed out on our top targets! Proving that he had no bollocks. Loved that season's results and the way CC (accidentally/serendipitously?) came up with a way to win but IMO it will always be tainted by the way he bottled it the following season. A manager with balls would have stayed to prove it wasn't a one-off accident. Again, IMO obviously. But it was a one off, that squad should've been bottom half, at best.

Didn’t he resign a load of times then changed his mind ? Eventually Dean got tired of it. Either way he was streets ahead of Moore.

Look at last season as well, where they lost out on play offs on goal difference. Last 10 games or so haven’t gone well for JDT and Blackburn but the previous 80 had been good. All the while playing good football. And the recent form is largely down to the circus behind the scenes - www.lancashiretelegraph.co.uk/sport/24095815.blackburn-rovers-club-crisis-off-pitch/Suppose we could opt for an unknown foreign coach, but if he came in and had a 1.51 per game points return we’d be absolutely buzzing. Might as well go for a known one that has a track record in this league 🤷🏼♂️

Some fans might say he left because the owner of our opponents in that play off final had made him an offer he couldn't refuse.... Are you suggesting that Carlos Corberan took a bung? Me ? Heaven forbid...

Apparently JDT has held talks with the Swedish FA in regards to becoming their national manager.

He’s on a bookies odds list though.I took that comment this morning to mean they weren’t mentioned anywhere whatsoever. Anyway right now feels like the calm before the storm 😀 He's not on the skybet list 😜 Nobody's put a fiver on him.
