DE.

Every game we fail to win brings more shame upon Mowbray, and brings him closer to breaking the worst kind of records which will hopefully make it difficult for him to find work at this level again when he finally leaves. I hate feeling this vindictive but after the Brockhall fiasco I'm out of empathy for the manager and his cronies.

Yes, all that money unnecessarily wasted on a scheme that the current lot were trying to sneak under the radar. Massive positive.

I don't think you need to worry.

Good news. Let's hope it's soon followed up with the sacking/resignation of Waggott, Mowbray and Venus.

And keep in mind this is the second time Mowbray has taken us on a truly horrific and embarrassing run of form. We also had the 9 defeats in 11 run in the 18/19 season. I believe somebody on here mentioned this is our worst run of form in 43 years. Imagine being able to lead a team on a worse run of form than Steve Kean, who was mostly managing us at a level higher than this one! If Mowbray had any of the pride he claims to possess he would have walked away a long time ago.

So now it's Travis on the chopping block. Never Mowbray's fault, is it?

He's very lucky stadiums are empty at the moment. I think even the Ewood crowd would have had enough of his nonsense by now.

https://footballleagueworld.co.uk/tony-mowbray-sends-defiant-message-to-blackburns-fans-after-frustrations-come-to-the-fore-in-barnsley-win/amp/ Hard to believe this was a year and a half ago. "The Rovers boss also reiterated his claims from last week that he will walk from the club if he feels it is the right thing to do" Lol, yeah, sure. Still not the right thing to do now, apparently. I wonder how bad it has to be before Tony decides it's "the right thing to do"?

Problem is we are way past the point where most managers would be relieved of their duties due to poor results, therefore after every draw or defeat there's an expectation that he surely must be sacked now. It's a sharp reminder that the club still very much exists in the Venkyverse where nothing makes sense and decisions seem to be made largely at random. For all we know the decision has indeed been made to pot TM, but it won't be enacted until September. The club is still horrifically dysfunctional and that is being laid bare more than ever as Mowbray continues to drag us down with seemingly no repercussions.

Coyle was actually sacked incredibly quickly by Venky standards (and considering the agency he came from). Still far too late, though, which tells you everything about how the club is run.

Venky's either couldn't or wouldn't sack him. Hard to say which as I think there's a lot about that situation we still haven't heard. Either way they clearly parachuted Shebby into the mix to make Kean uncomfortable. Kean saw a way to get a payout without getting sacked and took it. Arguably a win win for both parties as Venky's get Kean out and Kean gets a payoff. As usual the club and the fans were the losers, as we have been ever since the owners purchased the club. The TM situation isn't the same as Kean. More akin to Bowyer I'd say. Somebody the owners like and trust. Combine that with what is likely a passing interest at best in the club's fortunes and you get obvious decisions being delayed by months. Who knows how often Pasha reports back to them and what picture he paints. I doubt outside of his updates they care enough to look into us any further.

Very strange how that ended. Kean does seem to have been unsackable, and basically had to be given cause to resign and get a payout through Shebby. I don't think Mowbray is unsackable in the same way, but he's insulated himself pretty well.

Wouldn't miss many of them tbf and I don't think there are many players with a proper winner's mentality in the squad. With that said replacing 2-3 players is difficult, let alone more, regardless of said players lacking a winning mentality.

I actually think it's the opposite, and instead they make decisions months/years previous and are just incredibly slow to action them. I'm only partially joking with that. I can distinctly remember The Sun running a story that Bowyer had been sacked at the end of August 2015. The journalist in question must have heard it from a source within the club as it was put out with such confidence. After Bowyer remained in situ the story was quietly removed from the website, and GB ended up being sacked a couple of months later instead.

It actually came up on my facebook feed as an advertisement and I saw plenty of comments supporting Mowbray & Venky's. It shouldn't be underestimated how low expectations across the remaining fanbase have fallen and the general lack of ambition that has been drilled into supporters over the last decade. It's sad to see but inevitable, especially amongst the younger fans, some of whom won't even remember a Rovers that weren't owned by Venky's. I also saw comments from other club's fans in my FB feed so think a fair amount of those views will be from people with no affiliation to Rovers.

It's not a problem for you or anybody else to share info on here. Keeps the place lively.

It's very strange. It's a comment that'd be acceptable for a youth/reserve team manager to come out with, but a first team manager? Makes no sense at all. Especially when you take into account our performances are terrible anyway! The man is either in a completely delusional state or is trolling the owners in an attempt to get them to sack him.

Mowbray's credibility vanished for me during the 'defenders are coming' debacle. He took the entire fanbase for fools that summer. Since then I haven't believed a word that's come out of his mouth. The only positive I'll feel towards Mowbray when he eventually leaves is relief that he's gone.

Our current form is so bad that there are going to be rumours of TM being sacked after every draw/loss now. At a normal club he would have been gone weeks if not months ago. We've won 1 game out of 14 and have gone from within touching distance of the playoffs to a relegation battle for goodness sake. I've said for some time that eventually we won't be able to pull up out of the frequent nose dives we enter under TM, and I think we may be at that point now. Problem is, as always, Venky's are far too late in making a decision. Their glacial decision making ability is exactly why we will never be successful as long as they are in charge.

Conversations between who though? Waggott wouldn't sack TM, no chance. The only conversation of importance would be between Pasha and one/all of the owners, but not sure how that could possibly have leaked short of a decision already having been made and press releases being readied (as was the case with Kean at one point - press releases ready only for Venky's to change their mind at the last minute).

Wish one of the journalists would bring up his 'honourable man' quote from Coventry and ask what's changed since then? Why was it honourable to walk away from Coventry but not Rovers, despite this run being worse than the last one he resigned on the back of?

Sadly think we are past the point where Mowbray would leave with our gratitude and thanks. On here, anyway. Certainly for me he's been past that point for a while, especially after the Brockhall plans came to light. I now see him as little more than another parasite feeding on the club's corpse. In the decade Venky's have been here only one manager has had the balls to walk away when he realised he couldn't do the job we needed - and like him or not, that was Lambert.

What's sad is how many times this has been said in the past few months. Being brutally honest we've basically been abject since October.

Unfortunately another consistency with Kean, the media fawning over a manager who is clearly terrible. Although in fairness this happens with most managers due to the old boys club network amongst pundits and broadcasters.

I'm sure the 'honourable' man will once again blame everyone but himself. 1 win in 14, fucking tragic yet TM is bulletproof. I've always resisted claims that there are any similarities between Kean and Mowbray, but the longer this goes on and the longer TM blames everyone but himself and remains unsackable the clearer those kind of comparisons become
