Tony Mowbray
Armchair supporter supremo replied to roversfan99's topic in Blackburn Rovers Fans Messageboard
gets overlooked that Mowbray spent probably over a million on TWO poor looking left backs this season, yet so many are saying he wasn't given any money to spend! Personally think it has been more of a case that whoever controls the purse strings lost confidence in Mowbray spending well Also how much did it cost to get Ayala to sign for us and keep our subs bench and the doctor/physios table warm the last 2 years! plus all theses loan signings from prem clubs will have cost at least few mill in total the last couple of seasons(with nothing really to show in return!!) -

Might have been my imagination... But sounded like large choruses of "tony give us a wave" and "Tony Mowbrays blue & white Army" Sound gets a bit muddled in the wind where i am but sounded very much like that to me -

Not at the game, but working outside close by! Am I really hearing what I think I'm hearing from the home fans ๐คข๐คฏ (hope I'm mistaken) -
I know his managerial stats dont look good in recent years, but.... I get the feeling that at the right club Jimmy Floyd Hasselbaink could still have the potential to become a very good manager (though Admittedly i do let my sentimentality of being a big fan of him as a player sway me a little๐) I also think if you read some of his interviews he does sound like the type of manager the venks seem to like, with his emphasis being on playing 'attractive attacking' football and bringing youngsters through

Has Wilcox not shown any interest in getting into first team management? Or maybe even suited more to directororial role in place of Maggot๐คทโโ๏ธ And no I'm not simply saying that JUST because of the rovers link! His work behind the scenes at Man city over the last 10 years shows how more than capable he can

Talking bollox right to the end(hopefully๐ค) lots of contradictions and the usual Mowbray arrogance in there. He's just lucky that he's at this club, anywhere else and hed have been sacked at least 5 times by now. -

Yes but sure there was something involving weller at one point as well, no charges brought or anything that i remember and seemed to get brushed off, but there was definitely something at one point im sure ๐ค -

I right, yeah cant stand weller, The jam had some great songs obviously and wellers early solo stuff was good, but the last 15 years or so he's just gone dull as dishwater. Didn't he also get pulled for having nonce material on his pc. -

Hate to be a cynic (but that's what Mowbray brings out in us/me) but I think tonight was just a little buffer, I'm expecting us to get a proper walloping from Bournemouth now (obviously I'd love to be proved wrong though!!) -

I've always thought his voice and personality seemed pretty weak for a manager, but tbf he's had a respectable career in the lower leagues, 100% not the man to take us forward though it would just be a side step (at best) to employ a manager like Grayson, he's definitely a manager like Mowbray who's best days are well behind him. -

Armchair supporter supremo replied to MarkBRFC71's topic in I Can't Believe It's Not Football
only 2 gigs there that I personally would pay to see, cant be doing with any of those naff 80s "pop stars" though, not even if they where all on the same bill, doubt they have a gigs worth of good tunes between the lot of them. -

The unhappy fans at the remaining games really need to make their feelings heard otherwise i think it's going to be inevitable that the prick is still here at the start of next season for another year of groundhog days. -
God! Remember the uproar when it came out that Billy Mckinlay was on the verge of becoming manager! And tbf Mckinlay looked like he had decent credentials at the time in many areas, but he just did have any real managerial experience. But anyway! Looking to the future... Apears as if Pocchetino is going to be available in the summer๐๐

Chiles Manager seemed to have improved Brereton by a 1000% more in the little spells here and there that he's had him then Mowbray did in over 3 years. -

The problem most fans have is not "The venkys" themselves, the problem is with not really knowing who's pulling the strings and to what end! If the venks just came out and said 'look we're just going to help keep the books balanced and debts under control the best we can, but there's not much available for large transfer fees' then you'd accept that, it's not like there's anybody out there that would want to buy the club and pump 100s of millions into the club for transfers, etc... But when false promises are being made and broken and the way the club is run looks crooked as hell from to to bottom it's just miserable and frustrating -

Massive coup for king Georges(and the town) I registered for the raffle but they've been promoting it heavily since it was announced so I think chances of winning a pair of tkts will be very very slim. King Georges hall is such a great venue for live music it's a shame that they don't get many other top quality bands/singers in apart from mainly tribute acts and irrelevant old bands/singers! Always been a firm fixture on the Comedy circuit for top acts though. I do have tkts for Liam Gallagher down at Knebworth this summer tough, But that wouldn't even compare to being able to see him at a far more intimate venue in my hometown though, I don't think even Oasis ever played in blackburn (even when they were just starting out) -

Not to mention the permanent signings mowbray has made recently have been relatively sheeiiite for example spending around a million on 2 left backs in the space of 6 months, both of which have played poorly and look out of their depth in the championship! -

We might not have paid many particularly high transfer fees since the likes of Brereton, gallagher, Armstrong, etc... But I'm pretty sure signing players on loan from premiership clubs cost upwards of a few hundred K a piece in total (especially when its exciting attacking players) So if you you add up all our loan signings in recent years I figure we've still quietly spent millions per season on bringing them in.
