Mowbray and Rovers must attack from minute 1 and play on the front foot and hopefully the back 3 is dropped in favour of more attacking formation of 4-2-3-1

Lenihan going there would be massive disappointment and angry from myself given all that our club has done for him in his career here. I hope he doesn't go there but stays here

But you didn't answer my question about why you keep mentioning playing careers when no-one from you have? Wilcox worked at Man City academy structure for 10 years and has brought through players into the first team squad and players who have played first team football elsewhere. Mason has worked with Spurs youth team for 2 years and It was a name I mention. But I did say that Club need to do its proper research into potential candidates and work out what type of footballing structure we need at the club for short and long term

Yes I have and I agree with your point about his injury record.

Cos our academy players will be major part of football and transfer strategy going forward. I think we will see more academy players coming through in the couple of years. Farke didn't have a track record before Norwich and their Sporting Director Stuart Webber appointing Frake from Dortmund reserves/youth. I said Farke would be appealing but his experience at Norwich is head coach and not as manager and seems to need a director of football. On Bilic, I don't think its a realistic suggestions currently even tho I wanted to replace Allardyce 12 years ago.

No I haven't seen him play but read a couple of articles on him, but basing on him playing for Everton and I don't think Pike will break through here sadly cos pre covid/lockdown I thought he would be. Was Brown playing professional football in Ireland before joining here?

Alot will depends on finances there in the summer available to spend and what the squad look like but looks like massive overhaul is needed. The biggest mistake was the lack of quality replacement to replace Big Sam

Well that is Mowbray all over now and his stubborn to drop the back 3 which is no longer working BUT he is unwilling to change tactics and formation from the start of the game. Well you clearly have a different opinion which to be honest doesn't surprised with you

No one is basing on their views on people playing careers apart from you. I haven't mentioned playing careers in any post so why are you mentioning it? I am basing my opinions on coaching careers. I gave 2 examples of managers who have had success and prove their worth who had no 1st team managerial experience until a club gave them a chance and look at their success they had. What and who is the potential managerial market then? I've seen plenty of names mention on here I wouldn't want here as Mowbray's replacement

Looks like Rob Key has become the favourite for England's director of cricket after Marcus North withdraw his application Rob Key could be appointed England managing director 'by the end of the month' - Mirror Online England face big changes under Rob Key with Root in firing line but veteran duo may return (msn.com)

Just look how well drilled and organised Forest look now under Steve Cooper compare to Hughton time there or Swansea spell. Also Critchley has impressed similar and willing to adapt his ways and tactics to suit the league despite his background at Liverpool. I think its about having the right footballing structure at the club. Youth development and bringing these through to first team will be key part of any footballing and transfer strategy going forward at the club. I think Bowyer did a fine job at Rovers in year 1 and build a good team that in year 2 should have got playoffs at least. I think Critchley has proved himself so far. Can't say most of them I would excite me or think would be appalling. I don't know about Liam Manning at MK Dons but I will be watching with interest their game on Sky on Saturday. Mark Bonner similar. Rooney would be appealing but doubt he will leave Derby. Farke would be similar but he has never worked without a Director of football. He had Webber at Norwich. Cowley would be decent enough for me and someone who I rated. I always forget about him in these next manager discussions. agreed I am also trying to be realistic with my suggestions and who I would be happy with. Like I said early in this reply that youth development and bringing through these into the first team will be key part of any transfer and footballing strategy at Rovers. I didn't watch or seen that game or interviews so I can't comment on them sadly.

Yes it is the hope that kills you while I have been patient with the club about about not putting them on sale too early come Middle of March/April the info should be out there and should be able to buy them plus it gives people planning time to sort out finances, etc and etc. I live close to Stanley ground and training ground and Its impressive but Rovers should be doing far more in the community area to bring more fans to games, etc as I have posted several times on here. Another thing that is annoying with the club. I remember Rovers coming to my school of Peel Park in the Hyndburn area to do a 4 day footballing course with Children who signed to in the Easter holidays in 1995. Do Rovers still offer this and if could come the fans forum asked about why not? Why don't Rovers offer free shirts, kits, scarfs, gloves to youngsters now in schools?

Brereton goal against Cardiff for me. Brereton would also be my player of the season followed closely by Wharton and Van Hecke.

Yes I did. I have mentioned potential managerial appointments whether you wanted to go appointing a manager or go for different set up and appoint a director of football with a head coach. Did Neil Critchley or Steve Cooper played for their clubs they managed? Looked at how well they both have done. You keep mentioning evidence but that is dispel if you have badly Hughton failed at Forest and look at well they are doing Steve Cooper? You can keep slamming me for using different specific criteria but Rovers need to more thinking out of the box and try something different now after 5 years of Mowbray who has done a good job in the first 3 years but last season was huge disappointment given their financial backing he got and the squad he had plus the last 3 months of this season results and tactics wise have been quite frankly unacceptable for our great club. Mowbray is far too stubborn and unwilling to adapt his starting formation even tho in he last few games the back 3 is no longer solid and and we aren't winning games or scoring enough.

Dingles have been linked with Lenihan today to signing him in the summer https://c.newsnow.co.uk/A/1124508324?-11198:839

I think he will be ahead of bot of these. I think James Brown will be in the first team squad next season. Maybe even first choice. We also been linked with promising young player https://c.newsnow.co.uk/A/1124506100?-11198:839 Magloire has been linked with these Scottish Clubs https://c.newsnow.co.uk/A/1124522412?-11198:839

I emailed the club on Monday and received a reply Monday afternoon that Said they should on sale after the Easter holiday. I am hoping that announce can be made at Stoke game and their prices can be revealed.

Wharton scored from a corner against Derby. I think Gallagher was our best player in the last game until Mowbray tinkered again and moved him wide when he was playing very well up front in his properly role

I guess some fans think its time for change of manager as maybe Dyche and his have been found out and gone stale for some fans of the club. I think he will walk away in the summer if you go down. It is massive rebuilding job for whoever the next manager is or For Dyche. I seen you have been linked with our Captain Lenihan today

I am discussing what I would do if I was owner or in charge of running the club Fully aware of him good. past his best now. 12 years ago I would have said yes but not now is he going to leave Bestikas for Rovers job? Maybe Rob Edwards might be the hidden gem but would also be massive risk tho interesting tho I would be concern by the drop off they have experience just like we have I think Johnson might just be cracker with the right number 2 and director of football above him. bringing through more and more academy players is one of the must do's by any managerial appointment

A good CEO and Footballing board would have a shortlist already with names on it to replace Mowbray with. The club should be doing plenty of research, speaking to footballing people about potential managers/head coach. sadly Rovers don't have a footballing board or head of football operations like other clubs do. That's how you know whether fit into what I used above in Dynamic and Good training ground coach. I have given two examples of managers who would fit into this in Steve Cooper and Neil Critchley. I will ask you and other posters 3 very sensible and simple questions? who would be on your football shortlist? what would be your criteria to be on your shortlist? who from your shortlist would you appoint Let's be realistic neither are coming here. We are talking two of the best managers out there as yesterday game shown. I'm talking realistic and sensible suggestions and possible appointments from Blackburn Rovers

Bruce thought about Retiring after his experience at Newcastle but never did to my knowledge. Warnock and Pulis have both retired now. Time to move on from these same old names that always get mention on here.

Justin Langer is open to the idea of becoming England next head coach but wants to coach all 3 formats but no decision on the head coach role until Strauss and ECB appoint a new England's Director of Football. The 3 front runners for that role is Marcus North, Ed Smith and Rob Key Justin Langer thought to be softening to the idea of coaching England | Daily Mail Online

I wonder what Burnley's owners are thinking today and do they have plans in case they go down to the Championship
