This is fairly standard practice, in most sports and in the business world too. Mowbray is certainly not above criticism for some things but this is nit picking in my opinion.

Another Blackburn (though not Rovers) connection to Ipswich is Mark Brennan, who played many games (100+) in midfield for them in the mid to late 80s. Mark was the captain of Blackburn & Darwen schoolboys when they got to the last 8 of the English Schools' Cup in the very early 80s and a very classy player with a sweet left foot. Similar in style to Simon Barker, for those who remember him. I think he went to St Marys College.

Your research should have told you that Blackburn is in fact a town, not a city.

I was chatting about holidays with someone at work just now, and he said "You can't beat the Canaries at this time of year", I responded with "Well we'll fooking see about that on Saturday pal!" Another Leeds performance and result will do nicely thanks.

Yeah, but when you discover what the promotion bonuses for getting to the first division were in relation to the wages at the time, no player in his right mind would have 'not tried' to get into the top two. All that 'deliberately avoiding promotion' stuff was just frustrated angry fans looking for a reason why we fooked up again. Thank God social media hadn't been invented back then......

I loved Don Mackay's era at the club - but I think this bit is extremely harsh on Sacko. They were quite different as managers. Saxton was a terrific man-manager, better than Mackay, whereas Don had a great eye for a player. Don also got a cash injection just when he needed it, when things were going a little stale. As someone has already stated, Rovers were skint throughout Sacko's tenure. I think Don and Bobby should be held in similar esteem and without those two (and Howard Kendall before them) we would never have been in a position to attract Sir Kenneth Matheson Dalglish to the Rovers. Its also worth mentioning that they are both lovely blokes who retain a deep affection for our club.

You're a regular then? ?
