1864roverite 2417 Posted June 23, 2019 Share Posted June 23, 2019 I see we still havent had any suggestions as to who the young talented managers are who can come in and better! I appreciate it its an obscure forum but if its discussionable then lets have the discussion. Truth is, there are NO young decent managers out there who would be able to make a mark at Ewood Park. We tried it with Ince, Berg and Appleton and they ALL failed miserably. There is so much good about the club in comparison to the last 7 years, love or hate venkys, they have to be acknowledged for allowing the Academy to flourish after initial abysmal raping of the clubs finances and gross mismanagement within the club. Its now time to be a bit more positive about the club if we can. 6 weeks to get ready for Charlton. I am sure TM and co will have the players he wants at the club. BRFC get behind the club Link to post Share on other sites

So its either he started one game because at the time he was poor or because the manager got it wrong, and played his trusted, magnificent and reliable bennett, smallwood amd evans in midfield. So which one is it? Its either one or the other, and you wont like either, so would love to know? What are you gibbering on about? It was the usual stuff of him "not being good enough" on here, before he even played for us, or didn't play as was mostly the case. It happens with practically everyone we are linked with or sign. The line was why is Mowbray signing this guy? Well we were in league 1 and a season later he is being linked with two of the biggest clubs in Europe. The move didn't work out here for various reasons, but it just shows that he was a good find. The couch scouts who don't even watch players before writing them off crack me up.

BRFC get behind the club Fans want us to get the Eddie Howes before he becomes famous. For every Eddie Howe there are 50 "young managers" who do jack shit. They are retrospective football experts. It's the same with signings, "oh we should sign a top quality striker and CB for 3 million each". Who should we sign? "oh I don't know, it's not my job to know." Link to post Share on other sites

If we sign Gallagher too play on the wing in the Armstrong role of not tracking back and just not even being a winger in the first place then it’s a no. Don’t know why anyone is talking about changing manager though, he’s not done much wrong and if he hasn’t got a pot too piss in this summer it won’t make a difference who’s in charge we won’t be making the play offs even if Pep was our manager.

Mattyblue 13851 Posted June 23, 2019 Share Posted June 23, 2019 (edited) Graham Potter came from Scandinavia (just like Berg) ended up at Swansea, now in the PL. Dean Smith. Cowley Farke Stoke nabbed Jones, who was in all likleyhood about to take Luton to back to back promotions. There are always potential emerging, who was Wagner when Huddersfield found him? Proper, professional football clubs make it their business to find the next one. I’m not after booting out Mowbray, so not sure why I’m even bothering, but to say there are no promising managers in Europe is just bloody daft, 50 years, indeed!

Its one or the other he either wasnt good enough/not ready or the manager didnt play him meaning the manager got it wrong, pretty straightforward mate, pick one of them two options, theres no inbetween? You wont cause you wont have a go at the manager in any way whatsoever. Link to post Share on other sites

Not addressed the issue though, dude. You were seemingly trying to make a point that Mowbray was (statistically at least) far superior to Lambert. That’s just not true. On a side note, it’s been a funny old day today. Everyone seems really on edge. Maybe it’s the crushing sense of impending monotony. At best. I think we desperately need a positive Championship-standard signing. Link to post Share on other sites

Any manager who manages celtic should have an above 50% win ratio, look at lennon. Manager bolton won about 5 games in a season they were woeful but probs still has a great win percentage.
