It's classic Mowbray. He gets very defensive when someone questions his choices.

We were bought by Venkys at one point in a similar way to how Wigan have just been bought. 10 years on and there is no comparison between us and Wigan.

Why would they walk away when Rovers owe them close to £250m? They only way they'll see any of that that money again is if we get in the Prem and they can take back a big chunk of the £150m TV money.

I was just asking for the detail? How does this work across different countries with different tax rules?

We are all Paul Yates

You might be right. What are the tax rules around loss-making in another country and how does this correlate with what Venky's are doing at Rovers?

This is the man who played two left backs against Oldham because he was scared of their right-back - a right-back who still plays for Oldham in L2.

Wigan and Rovers are hardly the same. How much were Wigan in debt when they were bought and much did they cost? Then think about the £250m Venkys have put in Rovers....

Well we know what Battersby and his mate were offering and it wouldn't have bought the club shop.

I said the same yesterday but apparently that is 'incorrect' according to @old darwen blue. He knows some local Billionaires who are going to give Venkys all their money back and take over the club. ?

£250m put in by Venkys and people think theres a queue of local businessman ready to step in and save the club?

Got any names?

Has he lost any pace due to his injuries?

We are heavily in debt to our owners. There won't be many in hock to the tune of £140m or whatever it is these days.

What like Battersby?

My point was purely based on stats - and statistically goal scoring isn't a problem which is all I said. I didn't pass comment on how we score those goals. As for on our attacking prowess I've said it many times - we are one-dimensional in the way we attack teams and rely heavily Grahams ability to hold up the ball and Dack's goal scoring instinct. We rarely pass through teams to create goals, or get down the wing and score from crosses. I also made the point a week or two ago that Mulgrew is a huge problem because he costs so many goals yet contributes so much up the other end. The problems are there for all to see. With Graham a year older, Dack potentially on his way and Mulgrew not playing we are going to have to find 40-50 goals from elsewhere. Mowbray has a huge summer ahead of him if we want to escape a relegation battle next season.

Not sure why there's a clamour for Bolton to go bust. That will be us when Venkys do one.

He has to sort his defence out, it's as simple as that. Goal scoring isn't a problem for this team, we're 11th highest scorers in the league and only 3 off being 8th top scorers. We've even scored more than freewheeling Frank Lampard's Derby County Football Club. We've scored 14 more than the 5th placed team and more than the teams in 9th and 10th. Even if we only get 1 more goal a game till the end of the season we'll score more than practically every team outside the top 6 did last season did in this league. The other side of the coin is we're 3 goals away from having the worst defence in this league. We've conceded 60, Bolton 63 and Rotherham and Ipswich 61 and 62 respectively. The season we went down we only conceded 65. For Mowbray to come out and say he knows where the problem is (no shit sherlock!!) only 2 months after saying he would struggle to find better CB's than the 4 he has now is breath taking. He either lied then or he's incompetent. Our CB's are L1 with the exception of Lenihan. Rodwell Williams and Mulgrew are simply not good enough at this level, and that's before we add Bell and Raya to the mix. So please lets stop with this Mowbray is a man of integrity/honesty BS. He's nothing of the sort. He'll do whatever it takes avoid responsibility for results, and if that involves publicly throwing his players under the bus then he will.

'Rothwell is like a little boy but he's talented'

PerthBlue posted the interview with Mowbray in the Sheff W match thread. It's a link to Radio Lancs.

He's pointing at other girls arses whilst his girlfriend is looking after the BBQ? Shameless.

I can but it's Gary Bowyer doing the reading. I'd wait for the DVD if I were you.

Let's hope he's tres bonne.
