📰 Valérien Ismaël has today left his position as Blackburn Rovers’ Head Coach by mutual consent.

Ismaël joined the club in February 2025, however it has been mutually agreed that he will step away from his role with immediate effect, along with Assistant Head Coach Dean Whitehead.

Blackburn Rovers would like to thank Valérien and Dean for their efforts during their time at the club and wish them both the very best for the future.

The club will now begin the process of appointing a new Head Coach and will make no further comment until an appointment is confirmed.

EFL decision to order the abandoned Blackburn Rovers v Ipswich Town game to be replayed in full is very, very harsh on Rovers. Game at Ewood (rightly) stopped because of rain: 11 minutes remaining, Rovers leading 1-0, Town down to 10. Fairest decision would surely have been to replicate situation when game abandoned: play the unplayed 10 minutes plus stoppage, 11 v 10.

If Ipswich win the replayed game, and Rovers just miss out on a play-off place (especially if they miss out to Ipswich), will lawyers be scrambled to recoup potential lost earnings? And as the first game has effectively been erased by the EFL will fans' expenditure on tickets, travel and refuelling be reimbursed? Todd Cantwell's goal has been deleted from the record books but not Jacob Greaves' red card and one-game suspension. Consistency?

The EFL was undeniably in a difficult situation, and sensibly the Championship directors on the board abstained, but it has chosen the least fair option. The fact that the EFL board has “agreed to consult Clubs on the best approach to the development of new guidance to be considered in the event of a match abandonment” itself places a question-mark against this decision. Even the EFL itself is clearly conflicted hence it seeks “new guidance” for future abandonments.

Until this “new guidance” is established, the EFL has set a potentially dangerous precedent. What if, in another game, fans force the abandonment? Or the lights somehow go out? Replay, please? #Rovers #ITFC #EFL

We'll lose this 1 nil and the goalscorer will be this greaves fella who got sent off....miss out on playoffs by 3 points......

Blackburn Rovers will have to play Ipswich IN FULL after last week's game was abandoned in the 80th minute.

Is this the right decision? 🤔

Kilmarnock have been forced to delete a new signing post and video because some sad and pathetic grown “men” thought it was cool to make comments on her skin condition on what should have been the happiest day of her life, signing her first professional contract 😢

Happiness has now been taken away from her and all trace of her signing removed from Killie’s social media pages.

Let’s show Skye Stout some love from the entire football community and wish her a successful future ❤️

It’s been a SHIT few days to be a Rovers fan.

That was exactly what was needed - that was just ballsy and defiant in spades.

Massive performance from all concerned against a side with a brilliant home record too.

Buckley great, Travis even better, Gueye even better than that.

If Makhtar keeps up this form, I'm gonna have to start lobbying for the Blues Bar to be renamed to "Gueye Bar" in his honour. 🇸🇳
