Don't need a keeper 3 inches taller. Just need a better more experienced keeper.Replacing Ben Roberts in the 1997 FA Cup final with a keeper who was 3 inches taller. That way he saves Di Matteo's shot after 44 seconds and we have a chance.
No, Southgate was fine. Our recruitment was poor. Summer 2008 especially and the banks pulling the plug..Also going to add appointing Southgate. Gibson had got all his managerial appointments right but this was one step too far. We were at our peak as a club and we hired someone that was completely unsuitable for the job when there must have been good candidates available. It was the start of our demise into a championship team. From UEFA cup final and looking upwards to championship also rans in such a short space of time. Utter disaster.
Accepting the £6m from Leeds for Gestede when we got relegated..Getsede to get that flippin header in the back of the net at Swansea! We would have stayed up.

Appointing Southgate is incredibly harsh imoBlackburn debacle
Appointing southgate
That FA cup tie against cardiff - good grief that was bad
Its not a criticism of southgate i just think he was put in a very very difficult position and even at the time it was clear it wasnt the right move for a club that had just been in the uefa final - it was a backwards stepAppointing Southgate is incredibly harsh imo
we had to take a backwards step financiallyIts not a criticism of southgate i just think he was put in a very very difficult position and even at the time it was clear it wasnt the right move for a club that had just been in the uefa final - it was a backwards step
Thats understood and its all easy for me to say but appointing gareth was a false economy - a rookie manager and expecting him to have the savvy to cut costs. It was unfair and ultimately a failing of the club hierarchywe had to take a backwards step financially
100% thisHeskey equaliser for me.
The euphoria of winning that cup game would have kept us up
The only answer to this is 'Turn up at Blackburn'.
