Steven Gerrard to Blackburn Rovers verdict issued by Alan Myers
That has left the Lancashire outfit searching for a replacement for Eustace, little more than a year after took charge of the club.
One of the names who has been touted as a potential managerial candidate for Blackburn is Gerrard, who is out of work after leaving Saudi Arabian side Al-Ettifaq late last month.
Now the chances of the former Liverpool midfielder stepping into the dugout at Ewood Park have become clearer.
There a number of names who have been touted as potential replacements for Eustace at the Lancashire outfit.
Paul Merson has recently suggested that other linked with the role, such as Gary O’Neil or Richie Wellens, would be more suitable appointments for Blackburn than Gerrard.
Myers has appeared to indicate that such an appointment of the ex-England international to the Championship play-off hopefuls will indeed not be happening.
Responding to a question on X about whether Gerrard could be set to take charge at Ewood Park, the Sky Sports journalist, who previously worked behind-the-scenes at Blackburn simply said: “I doubt it”.
This next few months are going to be crucial for Blackburn Rovers, who currently sit fifth in the Championship table.
That of course means the Ewood Park outfit have a chance to win promotion back to the Premier League via the play-offs.
Given half of their squad have loans or contracts expiring at the end of this season, it may be vital they take advantage of the foundations they have laid while they are still there.
In order to do that, Blackburn are going to have to bring in a manager who is capable of getting the absolute most out of their squad.
Gerrard has seemingly not always done that in his managerial career to date, seemingly struggling to fully inspire in some of his previous roles.
As a result there may be other potential candidates who are better suited for the job in hand at Ewood Park.
