The turning point was BBD's injury and Rothwell's head being turned.  We've looked poor since.

I agree that TM could have done more and I fancy a change this summer, but many of the names lauded here over the past two years have done little better, or indeed worse that TM.  So tread carefully.

I hear what you are saying but I am extremely tired of the repeated lack of fire, enthusiasm and inspiration from a man who constantly absolves himself of any responsibility. He's an absolute lemon drizzle twat. 

I would much prefer to try and fail than to perpetuate this death by a thousand cuts under this gutless twonk

Only Tim Sherwood can save us now.  He knows the club and what the fans want.

Absolutely f*****g not..

I know it’s a risk to have a first time manager but I’d be more than happy to give carrick his first go , absolute leader on the pitch and read the game brilliantly , plus he would have a good few contacts to step on for players. Think we could do a lot worse

I kinda hope in true Venky’s style that they play silly buggers with his visit to India, so out of contract, TM takes matters into his own hands and clears off elsewhere.

It’s one contract that they have run down and risk losing him for free, that may well turn out to be a blessing.

[chaddyrovers]

Will Mowbray even go to India if we don't get top 6 place? 

I'm not sold on one candidate or a couple of candidates thinking they are right manager to move us forward, improve us, playing the football I think we should be playing at this level to replace Mowbray, But I know I wouldn't who want to see in the Blackburn Rovers dugout. 

[tomphil]

Lets be honest now if he said he'd had enough tomorrow and left for his own reasons what would really change between now and the end of the season ?

Would it really be much different, would we have ourselves a better chance of a big final push ?   Would we implode completely and the season end in disarray and doom ?

Or would we likely as not just bumble on like we are now winning the odd one, losing and drawing 0-0 ?

As Ben has just said on another thread, I think it would help us and we’d get a bounce due to the players being relieved he’d gone.  Mowbray has become a hindrance. 
The first half on Tuesday and the whole match yesterday were the living embodiment of disarray.

Who are these many names that has been lauded over? 

Who would you like to see?

I remember Pearson, Warnock, the managers of Stoke, Preston, Forrest and Barnsley all touted, so that's six at least all considered to be a better bet than TM.  All are either below us in the league or have been fired.  

 

I have no idea who might replace TM - I just don't know enough about these things.

[Tyrone Shoelaces]

It comes down to this for me - he’s had 5 years to get us putting in more than a half of decent play in games and he hasn’t even achieved that. Some games we don’t even get a half !

Another bone of contention for me is recruitment. We were in a great position in January and he brought 5 players in. Not one of those players has contributed one single thing towards the promotion push. Not one single thing ! When you sign 5 players that takes some doing !

We have nothing to lose now, unlike in early January, when we were so handily placed.

Even if they told Mowbray to stay at home and made one of the players, player manager for 7 games, would it matter if we lost them all?

Fair enough. I wouldn't want most of those managers. We need someone who will bring fresh ideas, play on the front foot, press from the front, good tactically, modern training coaching methods. Someone like Neil Critchley from Blackpool would be ideal but given he has 4 years left on his contract I don't see leaving there.

I would just like two questions answered by the current regime...

Did the owners sanction more funds to be spent in January than we actually spent.

Is is true that Aynsley Pears is currently on more per week than what we have offered Nyambe, 

[Mattyblue]

I would presume he will be.

Nyambe last signed a deal as a 21 year old academy grad. Whilst Pears was signed as a senior professional on a four year deal (and that’s without even going into the Boro/family links).

But isn't Duff saying that Pears would be on more than Nyambe even if he signed his new deal??

If that is true that is absolutely mental.

Sorry, misread his post. 

No idea on the new offer, but if so, all this from the resident ITkers about ‘competitive offers’, ‘greedy agents’ will be another example of their gullible-ness post a few custard creams in Swag’s office…

Every day that goes by it’s getting less of a step up. Plus the massive  “ added degree of difficulty “ that is working for the chicken chokers.

Personally I'd take a defeat on each remaining game if it guaranteed the departure of Mowbray, Venus and Waggot 

Why on earth would anyone say that, considering where we are?

That's his opinion. 

I do think Mowbray won't be here next season if we don't get top 6 and playoff place

The needless angle of the post was the hypothetical deal of agreeing to lose all of the remaining 7 games when we are in 6th place, at least at the moment.

Did you go yesterday ? We did not deserve to be in the play-offs after that performance.
