That is replacing the manager and backroom team. To build for next season. Quote Link to post Share on other sites

He left Coventry after a run of 10 games without a win. Give us a break like you did Coventry Tony! (though don't leave Venus behind this time) Quote Link to post Share on other sites

The logical thing to do now would be to bring in a new manager now that a play off finish is unrealistic and play predominantly the players that he plans to keep in a formation that he would like to play, consistently. If they dont go up this season, I would suspect teams such as Forest and Cardiff will be much stronger with managers having already started to mould the team into the way they would like. As it is, Mowbray will still be overseeing confusion well into next season. Demoralising. Quote Link to post Share on other sites
Hoochie Bloochie Mama 5101 Posted February 20 Share Posted February 20 I'm genuinely struggling to come to terms with the arrogance of the man and his 'performance-related' comments. They really are Kean-esque. Mowbray obviously thinks he's bigger than the club if he thinks his 'philosophies' are more important than results. I've never known any other manager come out with such nonsense. Ever. Results matter, nothing else. Mowbray Out. Quote Link to post Share on other sites

We are still in the dark about the exact plans, but even assuming that they are a major threat, it isnt of Mowbrays doing. The only indirect way in which he would be responsible is not getting us promoted to date. Quote Link to post Share on other sites
roverandout 1505 Posted February 20 Share Posted February 20 Mowbray has played some part. If its about money then his failure to get rovers promoted in the past 3 seasons despite good financial backing would mean rovers have missed out on hundreds of millions. If its not about money then we'll never mind Quote Link to post Share on other sites
BlackburnEnd75 808 Posted February 20 Share Posted February 20 Just get rid now. Johnson will do on an interim basis to allow for a intensive search for a new manager and a new direction for the first team squad. Quote Link to post Share on other sites

If he goes soon though, I will move on from that and recognise the good job he did, to a point. I hope it doesn't drag to the point where he damages the good work he did do.

Stuart 16600 Posted February 20 Share Posted February 20 If it weren’t Rovers, it’d be fascinating to think about how this is going to play out. He isn’t going to walk. Waggott won’t or has no jurisdiction to replace him. Pasha looks to have no inclination or power to do anything. Venkys don’t appear to care one way or the other. How will it end?

Mr. E 695 Posted February 20 Share Posted February 20 Tony's new line of defense seems to be 'if Liverpool are losing anyone can lose, so what do you want from me?' Quote Link to post Share on other sites

Southside Rover 19 Posted February 20 Share Posted February 20 I could be wrong but the players also seem eerily quiet in their support perhaps further enhanced by the lack of commitment through contract extensions apart from 2 youngsters who have plenty to prove at this level Quote Link to post Share on other sites

I said it wasn't the most pressing issue, as in its not going to be solved over night, whereas Mowbray could be sacked and replaced in a few days. Setting us up with a manager who can work with the squad for next season, at least. Quote Link to post Share on other sites
