From someone who attended the presser said he’s not walking, and it’s going to be a long summer. I took that to be he’s staying on

God help us. At least I'll save on a Season Ticket.

This is getting toxic now & it didn't need to be!

Me too. Its simple. The 3 stooges are at Ewood then I'm not

 

[Blue&WhiteArmy]

After 18 consecutive seasons as a season ticket holder, I will not be renewing, things have to change and I know I won’t be the only one. It’s all very sad and until he’s gone there’s no light at all. We’d be extremely lucky if we have 5000 in the ground next season.. wouldn’t be surprised if one or two teams end up with more fans in our own ground than us. Embarrassing from top to bottom. He has to go or I for one will not give a penny more.

Surely there is something else at play here.

He's definitely not staying due to results or performance so what is it? 

[Mercer]

I think Mowbray is taking the p1ss now and, IMO, knows his comments will be inflammatory with some - would he do this if he knew he had a future here? 

IMO, Mowbray has descended into Kean and Coyle territory. 

Humble, honest, a man of integrity?  Not in my book.

He actually makes me feel physically ill. 

This quote stood out for me too.  Obviously written word doesn't offer much insight in to the delivery of a statement, but it feels like another contemptuous, scornful, belittling, snide, barbed comment towards any journalist daring to bring to his attention the glaringly obvious failure of his role.

Facetious insinuations that that there are only two polar opposite methods of running a football club (blindly support the current 'now' failure OR rifle through six managers a season) are not only insane, but also downright disrespectful to anyone daring to question his position. 

Wonder if they all stayed quiet at that point or pointed out that this was indeed the worst run of results in 43 years.... not "losing three on the bounce".

We've suffered two relegations already because of the owner's inability to do anything. It's appalling we haven't had a senior statement addressing this issues at the club given the seemingly near 100% discontented fan base.

If they have a reason to keep him, please let us know what it is.

[roversfan99]

Because our owners dont give a flying fuck about the club, as has been proven right throughout their time owning us.

He isnt as bad as Coyle or indeed Kean either. We are going backwards, he has long since overstayed his welcome, but he isnt as bad as those 2 and will have to do a lot to get to that stage.

At least he should be gone by the weekend.

He wasn't as bad as Coyle. Isn't though? I'm not sure (see above post for some thoughts)...

This is getting ridiculous now. 1 win in 14. No other owners in the country wouldn't have sacked him by now. 

Annoying, irritating man

Leadership and clarity is needed from our owners and senior executive management. 

Publicly, they should back him or alternatively sack him. 

To say or do nothing are not options. 

[Bigdoggsteel]

They watch the games, we all get disappointed when the final result is a defeat, but they watch the games and if they can see some light, where the team is trying to go, see the journey this team is on then they have to make a call. That’s all.

 

Oh, fuck off 

[Trinidad Rover]

Just total apathy from me now.

Good job the cricket season has started.

A manager and owner that aren’t ‘results orientated’.

Certainly a unique way to run a professional football club...

 He's worse. 

[Bigdoggsteel]

Who would want results orientated owners anyway 

[JHRover]

Expecting me to believe that the owners watch every one of our games and understand what is happening is almost as ridiculous as expecting me to believe that the training ground scheme is being done for the right reasons

Both are lies and BS.

[Hoochie Bloochie Mama]

certainly not a performance-based manager. 

[windymiller7]

He's pissing himself laughing at us now as he knows his mate won't sack him, Pasha is a pussy, & the local press won't push anything too hard. The only way he'd get any grief would be from us in the ground and he knows that that's not an option we have. FWIW I think he'd cave under a barrage of abuse from the fans on a matchday.

I'm so angry, & feel so utterly helpless that it makes me even more angry.

(I've noticed Les isn't answering his phone today btw!)

[Bigdoggsteel]

I honestly think he's being a bit of a scumbag now

Yeah, right. 
 

Nowadays, in Mowbrays world results shouldn’t matter to the owners or the manager. Would that be because he can’t get results?

Hes turned into a wind up merchant of Kean proportions.

and while I’m at it, - all this talk from him lately about fans at Ewood expecting too much. Fans at Rovers have been spoilt with the PL days he’s saying quite often now. Well, yes, we were spoilt. Just so you know Tony a lot of those fans have been around Ewood Park for a long, long time. Some of them 70 years +. They’ve seen far more football than you have, they’ve seen a hell of a lot of managers come and go in that time. They know a good manager and they know a bad manager. They also know a bullshitter when they see one.

Youre currently falling into one of the worst managers and biggest bullshitters they’ve seen.

[Bigdoggsteel]

He hasn't just lost 2-3 games. That's a small death spiral for him. He is doing far worse than that. He's taking the piss. 

Absolute clown. 

Did anyone ask any difficult questions?
