He should have been sacked immediately after relegation had been staved off in 2014. No ifs no buts. After the Chelsea win we nosedived. It was the second such run of form we encountered under him. It was no surprise to any of use we had a 3rd in the autumn. Total wasted opportunity. The only reason he stayed was because the inpet board were too frightened of making duff (inappropriate) appointment number 4 on their watch, which they duly managed in their own inimitable manner.
He should have been sacked after we got beaten by Milwall during the nightmare run in his first season.
Seeing as Blackburn achieved their first win in ten games the other night ,you'd think he had enough on his plate to worry about,rather than what happened at a previous club
There was quite a bit of talk about Lukaku at some stage.And his mate on SSN Charlie Nicholas said he wanted Lukaku and Holtby -both available on loans- but the board wouldn't sanction it. On the day we signed Benteke, we had been in advanced talks with Bony's Dutch club at the time to sign him, so he seemed to have a reasonable eye for forwards. In his defence, I will say it's right that that is the calibre of player we should have been aiming at, so I understand his frustration. But he probably could have been sacked on at least five different occasions during his time with us, so swings and roundabouts.
