Paul Senior has resigned from his role as director of football and operations at Blackburn Rovers.
The announcement came from Ewood Park today less than 24 hours after Rovers were relegated to League One.
“Paul would like to go on record by wishing Tony Mowbray, the club's loyal and hard-working staff and fantastic fans the very best good fortune going forward.”
Senior’s departure is understood to leave finance director Mike Cheston in control of affairs at Ewood Park.
Part of Senior’s reported remit was to oversee recruitment. Commenting on the news on Twitter former Rovers striker Kevin Gallacher said it looked like the budget at the club had already been cut. He said: “What next? Playing staff, working staff.”
“A highly-regarded football individual, Paul will work closely with Rovers manager Owen Coyle and Director Mike Cheston to enhance operations both on and off the pitch.”
