We asked you how you felt about Valerien Ismael's exit from Blackburn Rovers on transfer deadline day and it seems the timing has got you puzzled. But it's never got going under him and I don't feel the players were ever particularly happy either. Jack: Correct decision to roll the dice and get someone else in, but should have been made a month sooner. Jack: I don't necessarily blame Ismael for the form we're in and quite liked the way he spoke as our manager. They sanctioned sales for a load of senior players over summer and replaced them with cheap inexperienced targets from lower leagues in Europe.
