I feel completely different about this appointment. #EricRamsay 🇺🇸 I think we’ll play Vallball Football #ValerianIsmael 🇫🇷 - a disruptive, refined version of that. Strong on the set plays and a counter attacking style. Let's see if he will be in the dugout 💺 for #Middlesbrough. #WBA #NextManager

@heyhombre.bsky.social Pleased with #ValerianIsmael 🇫🇷 still want the #Venkys 🇮🇳 out ??

@herrplugg79.bsky.social Still happy with #ValerianIsmael 🇫🇷 big game Friday night, away to #Preston. Derby game. What do you predict 👀 🤔

@rachelfarran.bsky.social Who would you want in, if they part company with #ValerianIsmael 🇫🇷

@shackz.bsky.social I bet you wish #TheVenkys 🇮🇳 would sell up and get out your club. Stale and going no where. The managers on borrowed time as well. #ValerianIsmael 🇫🇷

@herrplugg79.bsky.social Who would you want as a manager if Blackburn get rid of #ValerianIsmael 🇫🇷 ??

@cpt-guinness.bsky.social Who would you want in if #ValerianIsmael goes ??

In the play-offs the Reds were beaten by Swansea City in the semi-finals. Ismael won 56.8% of the games as Head Coach, second only to Percy Lewis who was in charge before World War One. 2/2 #BarnsleyFC #ValerianIsmael #WBA

Valerian Ismael - Barnsley FC.

On this day in 2022, Valerian Ismael left Barnsley to take over as manager at West Bromwich Albion, newly relegated from the PL. Ismael’s time at Barnsley was short – just 44 games, but also successful, he led the team to 25 wins and a 5th place finish. 1/2 #BarnsleyFC #ValerianIsmael #WBA
