Leam Richardson is emerging as a leading candidate to become the next Blackburn Rovers manager.

£400,000 in compensation would be required.

I don't think you get far in football burning bridges and walking out after about 3 months, so I can't really see it.

Perhaps he can take Brogue with him if he does go. The £400k would be welcome.

That would be a surprise given he's only just started here and just completed his first transfer window. Why would he move to Blackburn immediately after a transfer window's closed?

The £400k would do nicely, but not sure who'd be the obvious candidate to replace him.

No different to what happened with Rob Edwards and Wolves?

Richardson still has his family in the North, has a previous association with the club and would be in a division higher (although granted every chance they get relegated). Only red flag would be the fans are boycotting and the owners are still getting grief off fans and not investing.

Not ideal given how much he just got backed in the window, but I wouldn't be that disappointed either. Seems very odd if it happens, I suspect it won't.

He was out of work, we gave him a job, he`s friends with JJ, seems a genuine sort, can`t see him jumping ship after 3 months, won`t be a massive disaster if he did though.

Most of the comments on that Daily Mail article are from Blackburn fans saying "Don't, we're an absolute shit show".
