You cannot underestimate how much Rothell simply dislikes Mowbray. All the mismanagement, being dropped, weird interview comments have undoubtedly added up to this point.

IF it's happened, which I still doubt, then there'd be far more value for Rovers in making him put the cones out in training for 6 months than allowing him to move to Bournemouth.

No ..if it falls through ..keep him ..dont play him ..then release him back to the Championship... after getting promoted.

So fucking what ...if he doesnt want to play for Rovers ..i dont want him to play for Rovers.

Upwards and onwards ..with those that do.

Great.

Let's get the stocks out and pelt him with rotten tomatoes then hang, draw and quarter him in front of the town hall.

A few days ago people were correctly saying that under no circumstances whatsoever should he be sold to our main rivals. 

Now some people seemingly can't wait to get rid of him.

IF he's not happy, (of which there's no evidence whatsoever anyway) then tough!

I think you need to get some fresh air ...

Or as the WBA fans are probably  wanting ... Val-Ends Day ..lets hope we make their day .

I know you're only passing on what you've been told but IF this is true, then I don't see why he wouldn't just keep his head down for 4 more months. Fine if he wants to part ways after this. Hedges in for Rothwell simply isn't good enough.

Let's hope he's in the squad tomorrow and this is put to bed.

Problem for Rothwell  is if he waits and Bournemouth DO get promoted ( God forbid ! ) ,Bournemouth are then  in a position to buy a lot better upgrade than Rothwell.

Who says they d want him then ?

3 horse race for 2nd place now ..😛

Was the tactical change not when Butterworth came on for Khadra? Zeefuik's appearance was too late in the game to make much difference.

Zeefuik put on to put some energy back on the park ..we were flagging energy wise. 

He certainly had a nice lil cameo thats for sure.

He compliments them very well but Lenihan is the best in the division by a fair way for my money this season.

Van Hecke for me ..on the end of everything chucked into the box !

Derbys administrators need urgent cash, this means they cannot rely on a bidding war between clubs as clubs will already know the issues with DCFC. It will be down to which club the player himself fancies going to, the fee will be guided in all reality by the highest bidder and I dont see any club offering huge sums of cash for a player who might be released from his contract due to the club being financially bankrupt and being liquidated.

To be fair when administrators are in place they ve to get the best price for a Companys assets to pay off its creditors. They ll take  the top offer on the table  then upto the player to decide i would think.

Good point about his wages getting paid at this moment in time though.

The administrator has a general duty to act in the best interests of creditors as a whole, and this applies especially in their duty to get a good deal when entering into a sale agreement to sell a company's business and assets, either as part of a pre-pack sale or as a sale during a trading administration.

Not a chance on this earth that we would be able to pay Lawrence the wages he will be accustomed to.

If we were the only show in town he would still expect us to get close to what Derby are paying him - a lot - but up against Bournemouth and QPR no chance.

The only away around it would be to pay Derby a pittance of a fee for him and pay the lad a substantial amount of a signing on fee. Then wages in line with Rovers wage policy on top. 

The problem there though is the fact other clubs are involved which Derby will use in a bidding war/auction to try and get the best fee for him in their predicament. Which will still be dirt cheap for whoever does sign him!

Did the whole team get booked ???..never seen a referee like it !! 

Kaminski showing why we d miss him ..cracking save in 2nd Half but thought the one in the 1st (shot deflected) was possibly better!

Get innnnnn ...Rothwell!

Fantastic finish too ..

Newcastle triggered Chris Woods release clause £25m and he’s about to sign for them.

Nail in the dingle coffin.

 

Or ..could be their lifeline if Dyche is allowed to use all 25M to strengthen .

A change of style could be incoming !

I seen Newcastle signing Ramsey, Botman and a striker before the window shuts. 

they after Everton full back Digne for 22.5 million plus Sean Longstaff. Did Everton reject that bid?

I aint got a clue ..but i know signing Wood is hardly ambitious or relegation saving!

My take was that we were the better side in the first half, and probably should have got ourselves ahead with a few good chances missed, although Wigan themselves went close on a couple of occasions. As the half went on I thought the game deteriorated.

Second half I thought Wigan stepped it up and the game became more aggressive and bad tempered. I thought they ended up the better side after we were forced into changes.

The concern for me was that after equalising we did the old habit of surrendering any momentum or initiative from the goal to the opposition. I would expect having equalised so late in the game to be the side pushing for a winner yet after Ayala scored it was like a switch had been pressed and Wigan seized the initiative, pressured us and went and got the winner.

Only one side looked like winning it after we made it 2-2. This is something that has happened frequently before this season under Mowbray - we press for and get an equaliser and then once we've scored we look like a different side - seemingly switching off or losing momentum having scored. Whether that is thinking it is 'job done' or not being able to cope with the opposition responding to a goal I don't know.

I've seen a few people saying that we were in total control, should have won comfortably but for Pears' errors and can't agree. 

Take Pears mistakes out of the equation we win simple...not too sure why you cant see that JH. Regardless of team formation managers instructions ...substitutions ...its a done deal.

Individual mistakes on the day cost us ..end of.

Now ..if we want to question Pears actually playing ..thats certainly a different opoint.

thanks. 

Would be surprised if Newcastle want him but Burnley losing Wood would definitely end the PL spell. 

Burnley need signings not selling Wood  

Newcastle need signings not buying Wood !

If we're honest he should be sat in an office somewhere. He's not a professional footballer. 

Day to reflect ..it doesnt get any better.

Pears performance was like watching an out field player having to take the gloves. His positioning ..his body language ..everything just  didnt look right , but its not the first time.

Against Stoke when he replaced TK through injury , one of his saves he made just looked 'wrong'. He was in the wrong position and was diving the wrong way for it but through good fortune he somehow saved it. I just thought then ..hmmm ..lads a lil ropey.

I hate panning players because i know they do mean well but im sorry the lad cannot be relied on im afraid.

Why is Mowbray seemingly incapable of winning a Cup tie - even one against a side from a Division or 2 below us?

It can only boil down to attitude, whilst ostensibly he has picked a decent looking side today he obviously doesn't care about the Cups and this attitude transmits itself to the players.

If we somehow gain promotion no-one will care less. However if we don't and we collapse to mid table in the remainder of the season I will maintain my stance that he is a poor manager and that he is paid to manage us in 3 competitions and not just one.

I didn t realise Mowbray was in the sticks Rev ..ridiculous statement.

That team was a lot stronger than people on here even wanted him to play !
