BLACKBURN Rovers have announced Tony Mowbray as the club’s new head coach.
The 53-year-old Scot has agreed an 18-month contract at Ewood Park and replaces Owen Coyle who left the club yesterday after eight months in charge.
We asked our readers for their reaction to the news.
Here is a selection....
@lancstelegraph @Rovers @richsharpe89 Step Sideways. But let's judge after a few games

@lancstelegraph @Rovers @richsharpe89 I'm actually a little shocked but, he'll finally organise our defence. Hopefully keep us up

@lancstelegraph @Rovers @richsharpe89 He saved Boro from relegation, did well at West Brom. Hopefully he can do the same with us.

@lancstelegraph @Rovers @richsharpe89 useless at his last club, they used the #MawbrayOut Hash tag... A lot.

@lancstelegraph @Rovers @richsharpe89 uninspiring would sum my emotions up!

@lancstelegraph @Rovers @richsharpe89 Very uninspiring to say the least, but we'll have to give the man a chance with another man's squad!

@RussellJAdams7 @lancstelegraph @Rovers Well we certainly didn't waste any time in appointing a new manager this time round.

@lancstelegraph @Rovers @richsharpe89 Not going to judge him until his first couple of games, needs the support of the fans at this moment.

@lancstelegraph @Rovers @richsharpe89 laughable. Could be worse, could have been someone worse than Owen Coyle.

@lancstelegraph @Rovers @richsharpe89 Awful, cheap option. Had the chance to lift fans but instead went with this. League one confirmed.

@lancstelegraph @Rovers @richsharpe89 out of nowhere, out of touch and out of mind.

@lancstelegraph @Rovers @richsharpe89 we need a manager with experience so ticks that box, needs to hit the ground running withe games coming up.

@lancstelegraph @Rovers @richsharpe89 Underwhelmed. But 15 huge games coming up, we must back him.

@lancstelegraph @Rovers @richsharpe89 disappointing. But lets hope he can keep us up.
