Ha! ‘The wider football world’, do me a favour! Nobody in football does a bad job, the pundits on Sky and his fellow managers will have been lauding Lee Johnson for the ‘great job he’s done’... until they’re sacked, then it’s ‘yeah it was probably time to freshen it up there’. Jobs for the boys.

what’s Mowbray’s style of play?

They 12 years old?

Why is having so much possession a good thing?

Everyone should stop taking him on. His WUM mask has slipped (it was hanging off already) with the constant ‘soccer’ posts. He’s now playing contrarian with every single post and suggestion - and his posts are getting sillier, must be tired, not as subtle. He’s an odd individual, but must be getting his kicks out it, but he’s making threads unreadable. *Mods* - I’m all for debate and differing views but it’s getting daft.

He knows if winds some folk up, so obviously...

So? You asked for a precedent, just given you one.

Neil Warnock said he’d retired earlier this year...

MashBot duplicating...

That sentence makes no sense. MashBot.

8 pages of pointless back and forth. ‘He should go’ ‘he should stay’. ‘He’d be good’ ‘he’s no better’ ‘wouldn’t come’ and on and on. (I’ve posted too much on this thread myself). Why bother wasting the energy? He’s one of the most powerful people in the club. His ‘boss’ doesn’t make decisions on managers. He has obviously ingratiated himself with the owners in their yearly get together, owners that are completely disconnected from the club, so as long as we plod along he won’t be going anywhere. Completely unhealthy way to run a football club, as proven each season with the one and only (and late) meeting a year to sign off everything from transfers to season tickets, a meeting that always has us behind the curve, but it’s been a decade now and it ain’t going to change. We’ve just got to hope against hope that a manager, who to me, has got to that stale stage where the players are just no longer listening, stumbles across a winning formula as there won’t be anyone else coming through the door.

Behave! You’ve can’t have spent much time in football grounds or indeed with other fans generally if you thing supporters don’t also vent - they do because they care! (Though you probably know that all too well and you are just performing your usual trolling routine)

A fair chunk of those 54 starts will have been as an 18 year old at Forest. He’s been here for nearly two years to make up the rest of those appearances (usually off the bench). Been a real decline. Is it the move? The fee? The lad himself? Mowbray? Or a combination of them all? Whatever, it’s been a waste of two years...

Competed until they went 3-1, heads dropped and we couldn’t get near them after that, would be my view.

Who’s buying our players with world recession happening due to the virus?

You can look at it both ways. Apart from a yearly meeting, managers here are given pretty much free reign (which is no longer the norm in modern football, with recruitment teams/DofF etc) and generally get their feet under the table for a sustained tenure, if they bow and scrape in that annual get together....

I’m glad Sharpe has tweeted that, might wake up a few to the fact these owners are still presiding over a farcical operation that will continue to achieve the square root of f*ck all, ‘paying the bills’ or not.

‘The Venky’s’, an actual journalist ?‍♂️

Get real JH, we are only a small town in east Lancashire!

I’m confused? You want our best players sold?

Who’s buying our players? Not many are PL quality and who in the Championship will have spare cash for fees?

I’m not particularly talking about brfcs, so I’ve not missed any point. The wider fanbase, places like Twitter being a prime example of it, is full of fans who think Venky’s are now good owners that we should be ever so grateful to, and ALSO think TM is irreplaceable. Their primary issue with him going is not a worry, like many of those that want him to stay on here (I’m probably in this camp myself), that the owners will pick some clown to take over, but ‘little owd Rovers’ couldn’t do any better. ‘Face facts, we are a small lower league club’ etc. Seemingly not realising that it is their beloved owners that have made us so ‘little’ and seemingly unattractive to potential managers in the first place.

Does make me laugh how fans’ own ignorance of other managers means the one in situ should never leave.

Sheff Wed rumours keep popping up on Twitter. As do Reading. Looks like it’s largely down to them having an even more ridiculous wages to turnover ratio than us than anything concrete.

Didn’t realise I was pressing for his removal? However, the fact that so many think he is as good as it gets proves how much we have been decimated by Venky’s, yet many of the same fans also salute the owners... go figure!
