Let's face it, the list of potential replacements would be very limited. Eddie Howe (who seems pretty settled at Newcastle) or Lee Carsley (if they promote from within) are the only other English candidates. I cannot see Southgage staying on beyond the summer regardless of his performance. If he wins it (yay) he walked away on top, if they fail to win it (boo) he walks away amicably. If the timing is right I think Pep will be the next England manager. Surely there is no chance?

The only difference I can see is he is foreign that’s enough for some. I just want the right man for the job regardless where he’s from. To be fair, Tomasson was an elite player, with Serie As and Champions Leagues - and 2 Swedish titles as a manager. And a 7th place in his first Champo season, with a team with a lower mid-table wage budget. And he comes across as intelligent and charismatic. Blackburn are also one of the most entertaining teams in the league. I think that's a bit more than jus not being English. To be fair yeah he’s got a better CV than Eustace and a probably a bad example for my point. I still think he’d be a big risk to what we are looking for though having an illustrious playing career doesn’t automatically make you a good manager but what do I know I was happy when we first appointed Rowett Jones and Neil. I’m just seeing posts of people automatically assuming attacking sexy football because they have an exotic sounding name.

Isn't he out of contract in the summer? Word is they are replacing him with talk of him going upstairs, weather he fancies that kind of role who knows. I was being a bit tongue in cheek mate.

If they cant get Potter, which I don't think they will by tempting him with loads of dosh, Sam just might be more tempted. Will not be cheap, thats for sure, but our club is known for throwing money at stuff.

With the theory of appointing an international manager, could there be delays due to the requirement to obtain work permits etc?

Considering there's a sudden jizzfest over JDT this morning, can someone explain to me the difference between him and Eustace? Both last season had unremarkable outputs – Eustace achieving lower-mid table, and JDT's Blackburn side managing the 8th lowest xG in the division. This season, both Eustace and JDT's sides are playing well after a handful of games, yet Eustace is being derided as a British plodder whilst JDT is lauded for turning things around. Neither have proven anything yet. Oh dear more nonsense not having checked facts. Very Potteresque in his achievements, en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Jon_Dahl_TomassonMiles ahead of Eustace. Last season Blackburn 7th, Birmingham 17th? As ever, you need to read between the lines rather than just looking at final table positions. Up to mid-November last season Blackburn showed Top 2 form, then for the rest of the season hit mediocre mid-table form. So a side that looked good for the playoffs ended up badly choking it. How much of that was down to JDT? He was the manager, and whilst they're doing well at the moment there's every possibility that could happen again. Even during that purple patch for the first 3-and-a-half months, they looked far from convincing - in no small part because of Brereton's goals. We don't even have that kind of forward line to ride our luck. It's due diligence like this that Coates and Tricky need to weigh up in their decision-making. For me, JDT is unproven and too much of a risk.

Blackburn were in contention for the play offs despite not scoring anywhere near enough goals and Ben Brereton had a pretty lean season particularly early doors. He was on fire the season before under Mowbray.
