Those quotes came after he originally said it iirc. Maybe someone had had a word? And he flip-flops form week to week anyway. The fact is he said it. My interpretation is different to yours. Anyway, you asked for a reason, you got one. If you think he's still in a job on merit, and that it's acceptable that he should think he shouldn't be judged on results, then good for you. If those quotes don't make you angry, given the results he was getting when it was said, then you are obviously Zen. But back to your assertion that he's still in a job because Venky's aren't capable of sacking him. That's clearly bullshit. The question is therefore, why is he still in a job? Who would be fighting his corner and recommending he should be kept on? He must have support from influential people because he clearly isn't doing the business on the pitch. And if he knows he has their support is it beyond the realms of possibility that he knows he's unsackable and can therefore say whatever he wants?

And it isn't proven that he's doing it to cover his own incompetence, as you have stated. All we know is that he is the first manager in the history of BRFC, and possibly the history of professional football, to state he isn't a 'result-based' manager. That during one of the worst runs in the clubs history. Strange coincidence, especially as he has another 10 excuses he could have just as easily used, and often has....injuries, pitch, ref, money etc. And Venky's have sacked a lot of managers based on performance. So that part of your post is utter nonsense.

Has he been sacked?

I you don't know who they are it's probably hard for you to judge. Izzy Brown, Josh Bowler and Sepp Van Den Berg are 3 of the 6 signed by the two clubs. I'll look forward to us signing better.

Pre-season starts Sunday. Hence why clubs are signing players.

When he calls himself a 'performance-based' and not a 'results-based' manager he's giving the middle finger to every single Rovers fan who can see through his bullshit and wants him gone. Why? Because he knows he's untouchable. He's just gone on one of the worst runs in the clubs history and he's still in a job. Results clearly don't matter. So results might not matter, but words do, and I draw the line at him flaunting the fact he's untouchable with bullshit quotes that undermine BRFC and it's standing as a professional football club in a results-driven business. So when he came out with his bullshit that was the final straw for me. That and the training ground fiasco. Waggott and Mowbray genuinely disgust me.

At least you understand the issue now.

It's in the original post you quoted.

If results matter at BRFC, why is Mowbray still be the manager?

You seem to be missing the point.

He played against our U23's a few months ago for Everton. It was on youtube so probably still there. Looked far too good for that level and led our young LB a merry dance. Blackpool have signed 4 already. Nobbers 2 or 3.

Blackpool have signed an Everton player on a free called Josh Bowler. Everton got him when he was young for about £1.5m. He's an AM who can play on the wing. Would have been perfect for us as he's looks a good player and he's early 20's so would be the perfect age to develop. It's a worry if the embargo is preventing us making signings.

Yeah, don't think it's a coincidence that BB has become the subject of transfer speculation at the exact same time as Rovers have initiated contract talks with him. Or maybe I'm cynical and a Prem team really is in for him...

Rovers to host Morecambe in the Carabao Cup | rovers.co.uk

cheers for posting, i'll look forward to that. Loved RN! Absolute warrior!

Another one I knew briefly, (not Rovers) played in a major cup final but was a rugby league man. Didn't like football and absolutely detested most footballers and and thought they were all 'ponces'. It's just a job to some of them.

No, but I'm not going to say anyway.

Competition for places. If your back-up RB isn't bothered about playing 1st team football, the first choice RB isn't under any pressure to perform to keep his place. Some footballers don't even like football. It's just a job. I used to know a Rovers player in the 80's who hated every minute of it. He'd have happily just turned up for training, picked up his wage and never got on the team sheet.

That's a tough opening month:- August 7 - Swansea City (H) 14 - Millwall (A) 18 - Nottingham Forest (A) 21 - West Brom (H) 28 - Middlesbrough (A)

Everyone's available at the right price, they just have to want to come to Rovers.

Re the EFL/Derby article, what does the following mean in layman's terms:- More specifically, the panel determined that the Club’s policy was not in accordance with accounting standard FRS102 because it failed to accurately reflect the manner in which the Club takes the benefit of player registrations over the lifetime of a player’s contract.

What ya go that's positive, champ?

What will determine the expectation for Blackburn Rovers? | Lancashire Telegraph “At the end of the day everything is about expectation,” he said. “If you’ve got a talented young team who need to grow, the expectation should be less than if you’ve spent £100m.” Mowbray's negativity begins again in earnest. Getting his excuses in before a ball is kicked.

This is nothing. Wait till we sign Gary Pallister on a free...
