I have heard plenty from Shearer and Sutton. I don't recall them making any comments about Senior. What did they say exactly?

Managers with their own trusted men fail a lot as well! Hence the merry go round. Personally I like the fact that Lowe and Dunn are going to be working with Mowbray. If we stay up he will probably get some other guys he knows in, but he may keep the 2 guys around. That is good for them and the club. Dunn is a Rovers legend.

What comments were these and by who? I didn't see this.

Great point. I would take that all day. We have gone though huge upheaval here over the past few years. If Senior wants to build his CV here, best of luck to him. We need stability. Mowbray is definitely a stable, solid manager. So if the two of them can figure out a way to work together, it will be the most stability we have had in manies a year.

Where was Mowbray living does anyone know? Did he have to move home to come here. Interesting in the interview he says his wife just had a child. Get in Tony lad. He sounded very good in that interview,I have to say. Honest,genuine and passionate with some good common sense thrown in. Here's to a good result tomorrow.

How much compensation would we get for Mahoney? Around 1 million? Need to keep him.

Great post. The most annoying comment I see by fans is that they want the club to be relegated,because it means Venkys MIGHT sell up and leave. Or even worse when they say they want the club to be relegated because it will hurt Venkys financially. Fans who say those types of things are a disgrace. Really frustrates me.

Interesting interview. I notice he says it would have been good to have had two weeks to prepare the players. Coyle should undoubtedly have been sacked,well at numerous points,but if they had the decision made after the rotherham game,right then. It would have given him two weeks with the players plus a competitive friendly against Utd. Having said that,we dont want to waste any bounce games and a win in the Burton game would be the ideal start. If we play like we did against Utd we could win by a couple. Although it's always difficult when the pressure is on.

I was shocked to read he is only 53. Could have sworn he was older. After letting it sink in and reading what fans of his previous clubs have to say about him,I am think he could be a good choice,all things considered. He seems to be someone the players would respect and play for. Coyle had lost that early in the season. In fairness he is an improvement on practically every manger we have had since Big Sam,you could debate Lambert,but I would definitely take him over the other chumps we have had here.

If he kept us up and fans still won't give HIM a fair chance,it would be cutting your nose of to spite your face.

Would 7 wins keep us up?

If he keeps us up will people give him a chance? I honestly don't think I can handle another summer of negativity.

Hence it being a good idea to leave him with them?

Stupid comment

I will support him, I really hope it works out here. But what is works out? Avoiding relegation this year and next? It is all a bit grim,.

That is why I don't get the 18 month contract.

Mowbray seems like a great man and top bloke, but for us now on an 18 month contract is an absolutey baffling appointment. I wonder what the players are saying about this.

If Dunn is first team coach, what is Mowbrays role? Tactics etc?

Seriously though, what is with the 18 month contract?? Makes absolutely no sense to me.

He got sacked from the Celtic job. That is an achievement in itself. One good spell in charge of WBA, a team he eventually relegated. This is a very, very worrying appointment.

I was actually half hopeful with Adkins.

I don't agree.

Coyle is a decent bloke too, but people turned him into the anti-christ. Watch he same thing happen Mowbray. With these owners, it will always be the same.

Is it?

Strange one. 18 month contract too. How did they come to this decision?
