I think they are just incredibly stupid. Not sure where you've got 'outraged' from, I'm certainly not outraged. You aren't bright enough to have such a big mouth. Balaji's best friend like one of the family, football investment funds popping up backed by who i wonder ? managers sacked out the blue then nearly always replaced by left field 30-1 shots. Players being signed from obscure places where Venkys just happen to have arms of their companies. Their financial input almost dries up the min the parachutes end, etc etc etc Hardly surprising it's suspected at least one (big) one of them has been in bed with the 'partners' all along.

I was only asking why you sounded outraged at something thats been going on for 7yrs? No I don't think so. Your initial comment was excessive, sarcastically asking where I'd been for 7 years. I'm not sure what you're talking about, how did I sound outraged? Edited March 13, 2017 by RV Blue 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
roverstdt Posted March 13, 2017 Share Posted March 13, 2017 Out of interest after 5 games, how do fans generally feel about Mowbray now that the dust has settled a little bit, I know we can't judge him after 5 games, just asking what is the general feeling of him so far across the team performance, structure, him as an individual etc...Just genuinely interested!

bazza Posted March 13, 2017 Share Posted March 13, 2017 After 5 games and listening to him speak, I reckon he's the best manager we have had that's been appointed under Venkys ownership. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

So far so good. Team set up to a proper gameplan. Structure is better than most managers we had. 9 points from 5 games has been good. His comments have been honest, simple and straight to the point.. Plus the fans at Ewood Park are right behind Mowbray. Sing his name during the game Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Absolutely fantastic roverstdt, the points return is better than anyone could have imagined and that's all that matters at this stage really.

The best manager/head coach that we have had since Big Sam. Good results so far. He has a great enthusiasm for the game and I enjoy listening or reading his comments. With the Venkey factor I doubt if he will be at Rovers for long. I hope that I am wrong. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Mattyblue Posted March 14, 2017 Share Posted March 14, 2017 (edited) I just can't get past the nagging feeling that he's been brought in too late. In normal circumstances, a draw at Norwich? Not the end of the world, we played well by all accounts, the team is improving, however due to the lateness of the change, is it two points that we will rue in May? There will be bumps along the way with a new appointment, but the right man will get his ideas across over the long run, however there is no margin for error when you are brought in at the end of February. Owen fecking Coyle! The 'owners' should follow Brian Clough's advise and sack Cheston and whoever else was involved in that disastrous appointment too.

Owen fecking Coyle! The 'owners' should follow Brian Clough's advise and sack Cheston and whoever else was involved in that disastrous appointment too. I'm of the same view. I worry that despite Mowbray's good work so far that it will be too late. I think most people can see now that this squad is good enough and has been good enough all season to be better than bottom 3 Championship. Coyle actually deserves some credit for that as several of our better performers were recruited by him or given more opportunities under him (Guthrie) than previously. The worst part of the whole thing if we go down will be knowing that we were good enough to survive, and have even ended up with a manager good enough to keep us up, but it came too late because of the terrible appointment of Coyle and sticking with him for far too long. I can handle relegation if we're one of the worst sides in the league and the club has done everything to try and avoid it. But we haven't got one of the worst sides in the league, and the club certainly hasn't done everything it could to avoid this predicament. 3 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Backroom DE. Posted March 14, 2017 Backroom Share Posted March 14, 2017 Unfortunately our fate now largely rests in the hands of others. Coyle should never have been hired in the first place, but at the very least he should have been sacked before Christmas. Bowyer wasn't even given until the end of November in his final season.

Feel the same, Mowbray has too much to do in the time given. He'll pick up some good results but can't work miracles and there's is so little room for error. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

We got absolutely fleeced by them over the past 6 years, but there was a concentrated period when we were probably getting fleeced and signing more dross than anyone else. Venkys learnt an extremely costly lesson. The unfortunate reality is that we will need to engage with agents to sign players going forward. There is no alternative. Picking and choosing agents isn't the answer either though. Number 1 is the focus on the right players we need to improve our squad and then work to deal with their agents. Every club is getting fleeced by them in one was or another. They are a horrible devious breed by and large though and a horrible by product of the money that has flooded the game. Even though I saw it before, reading that article is so depressing. It strikes me though that the one thing that Venkys really made a mess of was picking managers. If they had have gotten in a Mick MCarthy or a Warnock our first year in the Championship and given them the transfer reigns. I am pretty sure we would have been promoted in a similar fashion to Newcastle. So depressing. It should be about the players not the agency and right now we seem to be picking the "best" agency rather than the best possible players. 2 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
