I'd imagine Burnley fans were thinking something similar in 2012 when they appointed Dyche. He'd had one season as a manager - finishing mid-table with a pretty unremarkable win percentage (34.69%). They didn't go for experience.

As opposed to Mowbray, who is currently causing trouble in an empty stadium.

Each to their own.

Well spotted. I've amended it.

Percentage of games lost by Rovers under Mowbray in all competitions (full seasons only plus this season for comparison😞 17/18 - 16% 18/19 - 37% 19/20 - 39% 20/21 - 47% Not sure I like this journey.

Add Petrovic to that list of abominations.

Please not Pulis. That would be the equivalent of being delighted at your mate finally getting rid of a nasty, abusive and fat wife.... And then moving in with Gemma Collins.

Has anyone seen the Michael Gray one of these? Really good watch. Apologises to Sunderland fans, but says playing for Rovers was the best time in his career. Said the team was fantastic when he came to Rovers - they felt they could beat anyone. He was gutted when he left Rovers, but Hughes didn't really speak to him when he left. Lists the best players he ever played with as Larsson, Phillips and Tugay. He speaks really highly about his time at Rovers.

I'm tempted to suggest Tony could do it.

I can only assume he was adding the 21 goals they scored in the cup (they got toe the FA Cup semi-final) - although I think he's pushing it to include those.

Surely that was the best bit of his Rovers career?

Whilst down the road in Norwich.....

On the flip side, Jamie Vardy was 25 when he made his football league debut and he's not done too badly. Didn't realise his first ever football league goal was at Ewood Park as well.

I'd not be excited by a Monk or a Rowett either, but I do have some concerns about Wagner. He started off fairly well at Schalke: P21 W11 D6 L4 Then it went rapidly down hill to the mess that Schalke find themselves in today. The 20 games following that start: P20 W0 D7 L13 Whilst it was also an impressive achievement to take Huddersfield up and keep them up for a season, the end of his reign there was pretty terrible as well. P34 W2 D9 L22 I'd still take him over Mowbray, as he could be brilliant, but equally, he could be a disaster.

I'd be going for the Cowley brothers while they are available. No doubt we'll get rid of Mowbray just after they've accepted a job elsewhere.

I don't think you can just do that or everyone who ever wanted to leave a contract would just resign and then sign with someone else. https://www.skysports.com/football/news/11688/8389166/Blackburn-set-to-name-Michael-Appleton-as-new-boss-after-agreeing-compensation-package-with-Blackpool

We definitely did. We agreed a settlement figure with them.

Just an observation, but can't you do average goals per game to more than 0 decimal places? You've got both sides as scoring 1 per game, when in reality Coventry are at 0.9 per game compared to Rovers being 1.45.

Why is he unpopular?

Not sure you can class 53 games out of 92 as "nearly every game". Just looking at the stats - he made 39 league starts in 2 seasons in the Championship. He made a further 12 substitute appearances.

Last 6 managers at St. Johnstone and win percentages: Callum Davidson - 35.135% Tommy Wright - 40.836% Steve Lomas - 36.111% Derek McInnes - 40.113% Owen Coyle - 52.857% John Connolly - 35.897% That Coyle bloke sounds like a good one 😂

Think you need a new calculator 😂

Tim Flowers v Newcastle in 1995

Isn't he moaning at the likes of Rich Sharpe making perceived negative comments? Not like the fans are getting on his back in empty stadiums - I'm assuming he doesn't come on here.

Or to go even further... Matches where Ayala and Lenihan have started together: Played: 6 Clean Sheets: 0 Conceded: 9 (1.5 per game) Matches where Ayala and Lenihan HAVEN'T started together: Played: 26 Clean Sheets: 9 Conceded: 28 (1.08 per game) So more complete and utter nonsense from the manager.
