I keep logging in to see if he's gone yet, in the same way that you sit watching a match on TV when you're desperate for the toilet because you just know, if you leave the room, they'll score. But it's not happening is it. After every defeat you feel it must but it doesn't. Then you think, maybe its a bit late tonight so probably tomorrow. Just go, Mowbray. I want my life back. I want to dare not to check in here every 5 mins. I want to speculate about other things. I want our club out of your clutches. Problem is we are way past the point where most managers would be relieved of their duties due to poor results, therefore after every draw or defeat there's an expectation that he surely must be sacked now. It's a sharp reminder that the club still very much exists in the Venkyverse where nothing makes sense and decisions seem to be made largely at random. For all we know the decision has indeed been made to pot TM, but it won't be enacted until September. The club is still horrifically dysfunctional and that is being laid bare more than ever as Mowbray continues to drag us down with seemingly no repercussions. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

For all we know the decision has indeed been made to pot TM, but it won't be enacted until September. The club is still horrifically dysfunctional and that is being laid bare more than ever as Mowbray continues to drag us down with seemingly no repercussions. When the team is performing, we get away with it as the manager can just crack on with little interference. However, it is times like now when we are reminded what a hollowed out shell we are. Football is cyclical and the advancement of a football club is dependent on switched on executives and owners spotting staleness and decline, having an ear for fan (and player) unrest and nipping it in the bud. Here, we have powerless execs on the ground, an all powerful manager that is also the spokesman for the club, some shadowy go-between and owners that take little to no interest outside an annual meeting in which they fall for whatever claptrap is fed to them. We will never, ever get back on an even keel as a club until the whole culture of the place is transformed - alas, a decade on I doubt it ever will and we will all pay the price. 9 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
tomphil Posted April 8, 2021 Share Posted April 8, 2021 Pressers on a Thurs before or after training normally ? Don't know what they are bothered about anyway all the questions he'll get will be loaded for the usual easy stock replies. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Should be interesting as I suspect neither Sharpe nor Bayes expected Mowbray still to be in situ.. Think it will be a tad prickly given Bayes' pre match comments on Monday and Sharpe's subsequent articles. 5 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Backroom DE. Posted April 8, 2021 Backroom Share Posted April 8, 2021 (edited) https://footballleagueworld.co.uk/tony-mowbray-sends-defiant-message-to-blackburns-fans-after-frustrations-come-to-the-fore-in-barnsley-win/amp/ Hard to believe this was a year and a half ago. "The Rovers boss also reiterated his claims from last week that he will walk from the club if he feels it is the right thing to do" Lol, yeah, sure. Still not the right thing to do now, apparently. I wonder how bad it has to be before Tony decides it's "the right thing to do"? Edited April 8, 2021 by DE. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Would love to hear his answer "Listen, I don't think about that. I'm here to get the team performing well. Which they are doing. In fact I have no idea what the fans problem is? I mean have you seen how much possession we have had? Armstrong is third top scorer. Remember when we demolished Wycombe and Coventry? We aren't far off it. The journey goes on and as the band journey sang "don't stop believin" Covid, Dack, Injuries. Anyone got any cake?"

LDRover Posted April 8, 2021 Share Posted April 8, 2021 Just read in Lancs Live this run is the worst in 43 years. Surely that is worth pursuing in the press conference? 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Mercer Posted April 8, 2021 Share Posted April 8, 2021 54 minutes ago, chaddyrovers said: So why is he still there Mercer given your info? Why is it raining today when the weather forecast yesterday said it would be fine!? Seriously though, I posted an update yesterday and then decided to hide it after a few minutes - some on here might have seen it before I hid it. Decided to hide it because I didn't want to set the hares running again. All I will say is that my understanding now is it's got a bit more bigger and complicated. I still think there is a fair chance Mowbray will not be in charge on Saturday. Will be interested in where @oldjamfan1 thinks we now are. If I've been sold a dud and none of this happens, as posted previously, I will retire to my wines from this MB. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
