Blackburn are expected to part company with their manager, Jon Dahl Tomasson, before Saturday’s game against Stoke, capping a turbulent week for the Championship club. John Eustace is the favourite to take charge, with an announcement anticipated of Tomasson’s resignation or a mutual termination.
Tomasson has grown disillusioned with the Rovers hierarchy after transfer blunders and amid the owner Venky’s facing questions about its finances. Tomasson remains popular with the board and fans but the Dane’s discontent and Blackburn’s woeful recent form, which has dropped them to 18th, seem to have convinced all that a departure would be in the best interests of the club. Eustace was controversially replaced by Wayne Rooney at Birmingham in October with the club sixth.
