What is he so scared of, losing 2 nil instead of 1 nil ? He's such a strange guy at times. Well when we lose tight games ,he can point to the fact we lost by the odd goal and it looks better.

RoversClitheroe Posted June 18, 2021 Share Posted June 18, 2021 Meanwhile - Barnsley manager going to WBA - £2m compo. You want a good manager you go out and buy them. £5m and £7m for below championship level players is a joke. Meanwhile a good manager with a below championship level squad manages to get into the playoffs costing £2m 5 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Meanwhile a good manager with a below championship level squad manages to get into the playoffs costing £2m That's what iv'e been saying for years, if you want it and want to show ambition then pay for it ! Here they wanted a young naive coach who could be manipulated and a yes man. After a set of spectacular failures they switched tack to somebody on the scrapheap who'd be grateful enough for the job, then be pliable and a yes man as a result. There are reasons they'll never employ a rated boss and it really is not down to the money. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

If he has an inkling there's no contract after this one and a lower level club touts him a 3 year deal then you never know. Back in reality though there's more chance of Real Madrid coming in for Steven Pears ! Old Tony will have to be surgically removed from his Ewood comfort zone if the day it's over ever arrives.

LDRover Posted June 19, 2021 Share Posted June 19, 2021 So here is the question. What is more likely, a new contract or him leaving before or at the end of this one. Hate to even imply it but I think the former. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Popular Post roversfan99 Posted June 21, 2021 Popular Post Share Posted June 21, 2021 An interview that doesnt reflect well on how the club is run at home nor the manager. We know that the club is not all on the same page from the owners down. Downing was offered a deal towards the end of the season before last, which was then revoked. We then only went back to him after covid and injury issues, and he was kept in the dark as to why he wasnt playing, and was further aggravating by the rotation of subs rather than subs being picked on merit. 10 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I said a while back we could do worse than give him a try as manager. Mowbray is lost deep deep within his own mind somewhere. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
JHRover Posted June 21, 2021 Share Posted June 21, 2021 Downing the ideal player for this sort of setup. They have him where they want him and could exploit his desire to keep on playing and willingness perhaps to be mucked around at that stage in his career, so Mowbray and co. had a good lad on standby if needed. Makes you wonder though who often this sort of thing is happening - players getting lined up, under the impression a deal is to be done, hanging around and then all of a sudden the deal is off. I know deals are on and off a lot in football but suspect it occurs more frequently here with so much happening. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Every now and then clubs need a jump start and a kick up the jacksy so i'd have jumped at him with the squads we've had the last 2 seasons. Not so sure now though with the emphasis going to be soley on youth it seems. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Backroom DE. Posted June 22, 2021 Backroom Share Posted June 22, 2021 Can't imagine Tony's collection of soft lads lasting very long under Keane. He'd need to be allowed to buy an entire new squad. 3 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
