Blackburn Rovers have named Northern Ireland boss Michael O'Neill as their new head coach, initially on a short-term basis.

The former Stoke City manager will also continue to lead Northern Ireland as they prepare to face Italy in the World Cup play-offs next month.

Blackburn are in the relegation zone and have won just one of their past 10 league games.

So, is O'Neill the right man? Can he keep Rovers in the Championship and will a job share really work?

Blackburn fans can have their say here and check back later for some of your responses.
