tomphil Posted May 13, 2021 Share Posted May 13, 2021 All he's doing now is preparing the ground for a rough summer and fans back in next season. He'll self combust before October if things aren't going well believe me. 3 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

It's a bad joke when you gotta explain it 💩 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

"Be realistic", "Mowbray's doing his best", "It isn't 1995 anymore", "You're spoilt", "we haven't got parachute payments". He's crafty and knows what he's doing by coming out with this guff. It’s also disingenuous. Any fans under 30 don’t have any experience of 1995. But why should we not have expectations of getting back to where we were under Hughes? Burnley are doing it. Mowbray is actively preventing that happening, simply because of his own lack of ability: recruitment, tactics, selection policy, man-management, motivation. All of the things you need from a manager are lacking. 16 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Unless the summer is unexpectedly kind we are going down next season unless there are 3 worse teams. He managed to win about 3 out of 20 or something second half of this season with the strongest squad hes had. Weaken it and well what can we really expect, alarm bells should be ringing loud and clear in VH group HQ. Having seen it with Kean then Coyle are they really still that stupid and ignorant to think history doesn't repeat itself as many times as you let it. 2 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

tomphil Posted May 14, 2021 Share Posted May 14, 2021 Who in their right mind regardless of age thinks we are anything like the Premier League BRFC ? Even of the later years in there ? The guy is infuriating and insulting he'll literally say anything to spin his own agenda now. If we had any real Rovers connected directors i'm sure one of them would've flattened him by now. As it is on we plod to the tune of a self serving loser mentality manager and a set of detached box tickers. 4 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Mowbray & Waggot are the conductors of it not the casualties. A pruning back of everything to their level of capability after wasting the last few years. Covid gives them the shield they all need, they are preparing the ground for low gates and even lower income imo. The just keep our heads above water in this league model is the new target. If they miss that one as well we really are fooked. Matching expectations to their abilities. I love that. That’s exactly what they’re doing. What he’s saying, is that as long as the players work hard, that will do for him and the fans really shouldn’t expect anything else. I would say if a manager is happy with that, he shouldn’t be managing anywhere. Edited May 14, 2021 by den 9 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
SIMON GARNERS 194 Posted May 14, 2021 Share Posted May 14, 2021 He can't be allowed to stay,his continued presence is now toxic,it's going to devide the fans massively. But he and his partner in crime Waggott are crafty two Hats..playing the Raos as the weeks roll by. This is no way to run a Football Club. 4 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Boroblue Posted May 14, 2021 Share Posted May 14, 2021 Does he really give similar interviews to the LT everyday or are they making these up from previous ones. I have become resigned to the fact that we will have to endure him for another season regardless of league position. The only saving grace is his big infrastructure project named sell Brockhall was stopped. When he goes at least the academy will still be there. I also can’t believe that the appointment of a long term post in recruitment is down to gelling with Mowbray. That I do believe is him bigging himself up.

What he’s saying, is that as long as the players work hard, that will do for him and the fans really shouldn’t expect anything else. I would say if a manager is happy with that, he shouldn’t be managing anywhere. It's ragingly obvious to anyone who steps away from hanging onto his every word. He told us he'd talked the owners out of going for a double bounce after promotion. He said they wanted to spend but he'd advised the slow build journey instead. He said stability first, then building to challenge the top end. In order to do this he's gone through a catalogue of stuff, drones, analytical recruitment, scouts, Euro network and all the bells & whistles that go with it. Next it was he needs experience, got backing for that. Next it was luxury young loanees, got backing for that. Also in there he wasted 12 million on just 2 players. Now since he's failed to push it on in the last 2 years all we've had is a catalogue of excuses and sob stories. Hitting the heights of desperation now with comparisons of 25 years ago. Does the Preston manager tell fans they aren't the PNE of Tom Finneys day ? He can't do anything without a 100 million it seems so next best thing is make it more manageable for himself and his pals. You can 100% see why Boro fired him off after a few years ( then got promoted) and why he flunked at Coventry. Any research will show he was doing and saying the exact same stuff after a couple of years as he's been doing here. But we seemingly have to lump it for a lifetime because no one else in the football universe is capable of managing the current Blackburn Rovers. 16 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
RTM08 Posted May 14, 2021 Share Posted May 14, 2021 There is absolutely no expectation from anyone that we should be competing at the top of the PL. FGS at this point we're barely competing with the likes of Luton and Coventry (the latter of which was left for dead by the trio we have in charge). He has had multiple chances to rebuild and improve and he has failed at every opportunity. Not to mention, he was the one who set the top 6 expectation before the season, not the fans. He will be here next season, but I fear a majority of the fans will not be. Keeping TM at this juncture may actually be more damaging in the long run than keeping Kean after we went down, both on and off the pitch. 3 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I remember Chris Wilder ripping into an interviewer last season when told his team had worked hard saying that's a given for any team and he wouldn't be going overboard on the fact they just tried hard. 15 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

gumboots Posted May 14, 2021 Share Posted May 14, 2021 They may well both have been involved. After all, Kean was very obnoxious. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
