Have you heard anything toast ?

Bits and bobs but nothing that hasn't already been posted on here I don't think. Hughton was considered but isn't a front runner. I think he gets a bad rep but he's nothing if not solid and will get them working harder at least. But I don't think that's who we'll see.

I know that Schumacher was being interviewed when I got the text. My mate seems to think Eustace is the one Acun wants because of the attacking style he has, but he'll have a job on getting him away from Blackburn.

I can see it being Neil, his promotion record is pretty decent and he's the only one on the list who actually has experience of being promoted from the Championship. He did well on a shoestring for Preston, did very well at Norwich and Hamilton and was the man to get Sunderland out of League One after they floundered there for years.

Plus, if it is Neil, I can bring out my Young Ones jokes.

Alex Neill 10/11
Ruben Selles 5/2

Neill safe pair of hands. Selles potential higher ceiling. I’m always one for a gamble so would punt in Selles.

He was in Hamilton? That'll be an asset, a man on the touchline that can belt out a show tune when the need arises.
 
From Willypedia

Josep Guardiola Sala (born 18 January 1971), commonly known as Pep Guardiola(Catalan pronunciation:[ˈpɛbɡwəɾðiˈɔlə][3][4][5]), is a Catalan professional football manager and former player from Spain who is the manager of Championship club Hull City.[6] Guardiola is the only manager to win the continental treble twice, and he holds the record for the most consecutive league games won in La Liga, the Bundesliga and the Premier League.[a]He is considered to be one of the greatest managers of all time.[8][9][10]
 
We will see at the weekend if Eustace refuses to manage Blackburn and they have to use their assistant for the game.

And if that does happen you can wager everything you own on a Blackburn win.

Not a fan of this, he's unproven in the Championship.

Agreed although I think the finger pointing should be at Tan and the recruitment team initially. I actually think Acun has been burnt massively and has finally realised what was happening under his nose, hence the dismissal of Tan and a shake up happening behind the scenes.

I feel like for all Turkish market signings Acun still takes the blame, for the rest we can blame brain team.
