It will so if you gona go for it, I suggest now is the time. 

After Armstrong goes and there’s no signings I think the odds will come down. Then during Mowbray’s first august-September death spiral we’ll be odds on.

Im not convinced we will go down. Hopefully the pre Xmas new manager bounce should be enough.

For the last 18 months I’ve said given enough time Mowbray will leave us in exactly the position a Coyle left us in when he took over. I think this will be the season. Bottom 3 by December and sacked, followed by a month to find a replacement as it’ll be such a “shock”

I've used a couple of free bets on it so not really out of pocket if we survive. Do you think they'll pot Tony if we are in trouble at Xmas? I wish i shared your confidence.

They’ve pulled the trigger before I have to believe for my own sanity they will do again. Although I appreciate their last golden boy who shall remain nameless was allowed to walk. So hopefully with the fans in (how many are left is another thing) giving him both barrels he’ll think sod this back to boro.

Nothing more left to say just fucking leave

[simongarnerisgod]

mowbray is only leaving if he decides to,he is`nt getting sacked,mainly because swag and himself have persauded venkys to take a back seat and let them run all departments of the club,he will get stressed though come november when we are inevitably hovering above the drop zone and the fans are getting at him,his vanity means he does`nt take criticism well

[Mattyblue]

I made a vow to not watch or listen to anything related to the abomination that is ‘The Hundred’ and it has helped my rage levels immensely.

By the same token I’ve not read or watched/listened to anything coming out of the mouth of this fella all pre season, here’s hoping I can keep it up until he finally departs.

[USABlue]

I can not believe this clown is still in here.  Morcambe ffs.  Another season wasted by Venkies, they should have potted him last season tonguve a new fella time to bed in and start the season running.  What haopens now is we drop like a stone, till anout November time before Venkies get iff their duffs.  Too late if course.  Gut feeling we have a Coylesque season coming but without having a go like Coyle might.  Doomed we are doomed I tell you.

[Ulrich]

Is tonguve some sort of America slang?

Dear Mr. Mowbray.  I saw this headline in the LET and couldn’t believe it.

Blackburn Rovers boss takes 'many positives' from cup defeat

Last evenings defeat, at home, to Morecambe was an utter and total embarrassment, nothing more nothing less.

The young lads coming through show promise but you will knock any potential out of them.  Not only are you changing formation (set up) match to match, you are changing it regularly more than once within matches.  Young lads learning their trade cannot handle that.  Even Klopp with his resources and personnel knows he can’t do that.

Time for you to call it a day and go NOW.

From a supporter of the last 60 years who has never seen a shambolic mess anywhere near this scale.

[gumboots]

What positives? That we didn't lose by more?

How can anyone take any positives from a home defeat to a team two divisions below us. But it was not just a defeat. We were out-played and tactically out thought. You cannot take a positive from a reasonable first half performance. All that shows is that you are good enough, but haven't got the ability to sustain the required levels. Or and more likely. You are being instructed to do the wrong things. If after last night you left the club, that would be a positive.

Positives from being defeated by Morecambe at home after selling your only prolific goal scorer. £12m on two forwards that haven’t scored 29 goals between them, in the years they’ve been here.

What a tit.

[DE.]

At this point I'd be far more surprised if he came out with something sensible. Feels like he's been trolling the fans non-stop for at least a year now with his comments. 

[CrouchingNunhiddenCucumber]

Good shout to get this thread warmed up again, it's going to get very busy over the next few weeks. 

[Ulrich]

What are you all on about of course there is a positive to take from last night's game. It's a huge one and one I know most rovers fans are praying for everyday.

Has he no shame? We've just been embarrassed by a side that it would be unthinkable to lose against not so long ago, yet he wants to 'take the positives' out of it. Any manager worth his salt would be ashamed by that result, fuming and trying to keep a low profile. No way does a proper manager try and sugarcoat it in that way. It's an insult to read that headline.

I couldn't care less how many formations we can switch to during a game. That means nothing if we don't win. As it is, his experiment with this 3 at the back started at the Southend game in 2017 and failed miserably back then. Four years later he's still experimenting with it! Take your experiment somewhere else.

"We always deal with the result" he says. Yeah, shrugging your shoulders and saying "we move on to next week" is dealing with it. I've got to stop reading his interviews.

[gumboots]

You have.  I stopped listening a couple of years ago and it's done wonders for my mental health

I never listen to anything he says if I can help it, it’s all self serving garbage.

[1864roverite]

The man is deluded 

[JacknOry]

You take positives from defeats against top teams, not the other way around.

[benhben]

His comments completely sum up the complete lack of pressure he feels to get any type of result. Completely and utterly repaxed with his feet up taking home a pay check along with his mate Waggot.

mowbrays terrible attitude in all departments of the game must rub off on his staff and players,if he can`t be bothered then why should his players,it seems to me to be very blaize right through the dressing room

To quote a favourite...we only lost by the 1 goal 😔

[JHRover]

Normal club that loses a home game to lower league opposition there are powers above the manager that start asking questions or having doubts about the manager.

Here? The owners probably won't have known we were even playing and if they did won't know what the League Cup is or who Morecambe are.

The 'CEO' in the managers back pocket. Won't say a word that might upset or annoy St Tony and instead will ring him up for instructions rather than answers.
