Any idea what kind of wages TM is on compared to other Championship managers? I've never had TM down as the cheap solution. More that Venkys went to their favourite agency and said... "Who is available with a promotion on their CV?" No other questions asked.

Going off Friday's performance, I think you're being optimistic!

Liking because recruitment has been poor. Markanday hasn't played a single professional game. But we're dealing with a fanbase that think he's a striker. But I have to say players like Dolan and Buckley have been mismanaged. I think this gives us some insight into TM's mindset in the January transfer window.

On social media people seem to have turned, but usually it's very extreme LOVE!!! or HATE!!! No inbetween. Same as politics, pick your side and that's that, no grey areas. The LT comments section really is batshit insane though. The police should really monitor it as it's like a dark web sleeper cell waiting to happen. It's next level shit.

Another disappointing performance win or lose is pretty much guaranteed at this point.

Weird decision to play Edun.

Some think they will freefall through the leagues as they believe ALK have no money.

That was the first (2006) of four transfer windows before WBA's promotion from the Championship.

Yes.

He seems to have started well at all of his previous clubs only for it to go downhill. By the way WBA went straight back down the following season (bottom of the league... I think).

2006/07 - first season in the Championship after being relegated, finished 4th after a bad run of results. 2007/08 - promoted. And yes he had a decent budget. TM's CV is... Hibernian - left for WBA WBA - got them promoted to PL in second season Celtic - sacked Middlesbrough - sacked Coventry - resigned after 10 consecutive defeats.

I was being facetious obviously. However I've always thought he's a very laid back manager who has a history of teams collapsing. He probably gets found out and for some reason has no plan B when that happens. I remember one LT interview a couple of years ago in which he was asked why there was a sudden upturn of results. He said something along the lines of... I don't know, we aren't doing anything different. It's a surprise to me as well. I think there's more prayer than planning when it comes to TM's management style. And when his prayers aren't answered he just stumbles on till it either works again, or he's sacked/resigns.

If true that's despicable. Also I'll add to that... Poor WBA. No doubt TM will work his socks off to get results there, then get bored just before Christmas and spend the rest of the season phoning it in whilst passively blaming the young boys at the club. If any of our players are stupid enough to follow Mowbray anywhere then they are as daft as he is.

Echoes of the Venky takeover but Rovers were in no danger of relegation and as yet, ALK haven’t put a fox in charge of the chicken coop.

Wouldn’t surprise me. Yesterday it looked like he’d completely lost them.

The loan players are also the young players he’s nurturing. Anyway he’s the one saying it not me. I think he’s generally poor at whatever he does whether it’s nurturing young talent or making a sub.

Well as he keeps telling us his job is to develop these young boys. That seems to be his main role there. Managing a football team and winning games seems to be secondary.

A very ordinary team created by a poor manager. With some decent signings in January, implemented correctly we could have been promoted automatically (when you look at how other teams have dropped points).

There was one bloke on Facebook trying to start arguments with everyone last night. He finally gave up.

Yes, for man of his age and experience he’s thin skinned.

Yes it is, they had to keep him somehow after making such a poor impression.

I think I'll go off football altogether.

I was meaning in matches where someone goes off injured, instead of just replacing them with a similar player, he'll swap it all around. He'll stick Giles on the other side and someone less suited where Giles was. Then the next match comes along and Giles on the other side is the new normal.

Because it all began with Kean and co. I don't know how you missed that, it was quite possibly one of the most well documented and most despicable things ever to happen to the club. Just google Ruben Rochina.
