Souness resigns.
 

Souness today resigned from blackburn and will take over at newcastle next week.

This move is totally out of the blue, and i`m sure most blackburn fans will wish him the best in his new job.

Rumours are that strachan is a favourite for the blacbkburn job.

Newcastle must be pretty desperate.

Parks caretaker manager again. He always does a good job.

Anyone else think TP has been given a job for life at the club ?

Re: Souness resigns.
 

You`d have thought so. Hes indestructable.

Watch out Stanley - Rovers could be after Coley as his replacement!!

Re: Souness resigns.
 

Whats the betting that Tony Parkes is caretaker manager for as long as it takes Clive Woodward to get his coaching certificate?

Re: Souness resigns.
 

Wow thats a long time as he never played in the top flight it will take at least 2 yrs.

Re: Souness resigns.
 

A while ago on this forum I predicted Souness would be sacked and Rovers relegated. Slightly off track with Souness but, nevertheless, he's gone. Let's watch Rovers be relegated now.

The favourites are.
mark hughes
paul jewell
mike newell
Gerard houllier
gordan strachan

Re: Souness resigns.
 

I would quite like to see Strachan there. Maybe with Mark Hughes as his assistant. What are they both doing at the moment?

Re: Souness resigns.
 

Strachan quit Southampton to spend some time with his family...(supposably for 2 years) and Hughsey is the manager of the Welsh national team.

Re: Souness resigns.
 

Thanks Smiffy. Well, I don't suppose Mark Hughes would give up that to manage Blackburn. How did Southampton fare under Strachan? I always admired the way he played, he was only small but he never backed down and always gave it 100%.

I love Slater-Scott's line "totally out of the blue" no pun intended no doubt!

Re: Souness resigns.
 

Mark Hughes is favourite.

Blackburn have recieved 30 serious applicants. And they say the people to apply are people they wanted.

All the unemployed from Blackburn
