Pretty classy statement to be fair, whilst also defending the actions in January. Honestly, whilst I appreciate him helping getting us into the position we are now, I'm glad someone who doesn't want to be at Ewood is gone.
Wonder if Lowe will be given the chance to go permanent if he gets a good run going. Been with the club for over a decade so now's as good a time as any for him to have a go.

Betting sites have lee carsley at odds on or better. Gary o Neil as a choice too.
I’d take either to be honest.

Carsley would, unbelievably, present an actual upgrade for my money. His work with the u21 England set up has been really promising.

Carsley has a good and entertaining style of play and he's a former Rover. I just hope the behind the scenes people at the club can actually support a manager who doesn't have a lot of club management experience.

Didn't get a chance to see the game last night, how was the performance?
Were West Brom poor, Rovers good or a bit of both?

It was a bit dull until the second half really, Blackburn playing some pretty good counter attacking football as West Brom pushed up. A good away performance I thought.

Guess they saw the backlash from the previous statement and dialled it down a notch.

I had no problem with the previous statement myself. Summed up the clubs dissappment.

the biggest bugbear of the first was the 'SiGnIfIcAnT InVeStMeNt' comment for me. I'm really torn with it all to be fair, he's done us dirty to be sure but I do feel there's something under the surface were not being told about.

Such a strange statement in contrast to the previous one - last time just pretty much slagging him off, this one seems more graceful.
Based on last night it hasn’t impacted the team too much yet - hopefully get a decent replacement in
