Jon Dahl Tomasson's future at Blackburn Rovers is uncertain after explosive attack
JON DAHL Tomasson's future at Blackburn Rovers is hanging in the balance after his explosive attack on the club. The Danish manager has not resigned while Rovers are still considering their position but are understood to be deeply unhappy with his comments.
Financial concerns raise doubts about the club's ability to sack Tomasson
It is even unclear whether the skint Championship club can afford to sack the manager who still has half of his three-year contract to run. But a decision on whether he stays or goes is expected within the next 24 hours.
Tomasson frustrated over cuts in transfer spending
Tomasson declared this week how frustrated he has been for months over massive cuts in transfer spending. The plan of the club owned by Venky's and Director of Football Steve Waggott was to spend little and cash in on players coming through the academy. But Tomasson, with one win in eleven league games, insisted: "I'm a little bit more ambitious."
Tomasson's anger over the sale of homegrown midfielder Adam Wharton
Tomasson is also privately furious that 19-year-old homegrown midfielder Adam Wharton was sold to Crystal Palace for an up-front £18m plus £4m of add-ons last week. He expressed his disbelief that Rovers would sell in the January window with a potential battle against relegation looming.
Loan deal for striker Duncan Maguire blocked by EFL
Meanwhile, a loan deal for Orlando striker Duncan Maguire was blocked by the EFL after Rovers failed to complete all the paperwork on transfer deadline day. An appeal against the EFL decision will be heard today although the club are not hopeful of success. This is the third time in a year that Rovers have seen a transfer fall through due to administrative errors.
Previous transfer failures due to admin errors
In January last year, forms to green light the signings of Lewis O'Brien from Nottingham Forest and Ethan Brierley from Rochdale were both not handed in before the deadline. An appeal was then rejected by the EFL.

How To Understand Premier League Standings

One point is awarded for a drawn match. And none for losing. If there is a tie in points, then the first tiebreaker will be goal difference, which is goals scored minus those conceded.
