Neither did Bowyer. Mowbray is talking about recruitment and budget for next season. For me, he is trying to keep him his job by communicating with the owners via the media. He has already admitted he doesnt speak directly to the owners but via Pasha. Logically the right time to change manager or sack Mowbray and appoint an caretaker manager was during the international break. Didnt happen

And what happens if some fans dont like what some fans chose? Surely you could only do any kind of fans opinion on away shirt? Not much you could do with our Blue and White home shirt?

Sounds like Bowyer towards the end of his second season knowing he failed his season target. Talking about recruitment and given the under 23's a chance. We see at the end of the season

Simon Garner on BBC Lancs full of praise of Mowbray

Why no Buckley or Dolan? Gallagher must play up front and not Elliott as a false 9?

Why I selected that team and a view on next season. Travis and Buckley in centre midfield. Rankin-Costello and Dolan both wide players. Gallagher up front cos he Striker not a winger or inside forward

Appleton knew the players staff needed overhauling and players needed to go. Its was obvious that was his long term plan. I would have kept Appleton. Yes the Millwall game wasn't good. I was there. Remember it well. Appleton has done a good job at Oxford which included an promotion and then now at Lincoln. Seen a couple of their games on TV recently.. Yet again. Disagree on Bowyer not being a Good manager. Did a good job in overhauling the squad and getting rid of the bad eggs at the club. But couldnt get us top 6 which was the aim in season two in my opinion. The game does matters in my opinion. Every game matters. We need Dolan pace on one side and Rankin-Costello on the side. His crossing wont be affected. Look at Conway. Good player for us. He could cross a ball

My team Kaminski Nyambe Lenihan Harwood-Bellis Douglas Dolan Travis Buckley Rankin-Costello Gallagher Armstrong The team I think Mowbray will pick Kaminski JRC Lenihan Harwood-Bellis Douglas Travis Trybull Buckley Elliott Armstrong Brereton Why did you want Appleton out?

Correct..20 million pounds plus wages for évery single

What happened to his comment about signing defenders permanently this season? https://www.lancashiretelegraph.co.uk/sport/19138535.permanent-defensive-signings-rovers-summer-transfer-agenda/

Was Stuart Harvey approach by Sunderland Sporting Director Speakman for the job or did he apply for the job. Was their big differences in players Harvey recommend to Mowbray? Did he recommend more European based players to be sign? We had this post by @philion the 25th January dont forget I expect Glyn Chamberlain to be given the job as head of Recruitment now. Currently our Head of European Scout

Yes that is his role at club and its fulltime one. The head of recruitment position is being advertised on the Rovers website. https://www.rovers.co.uk/club/job-vacancies/

Glyn Chamberlain has been head of scouting at clubs before being appointed Head of European scouting here. Here is his CV https://www.linkedin.com/in/glyn-chamberlain-19660abb?originalSubdomain=uk

Rovers's head of recruitment Stuart Harvey leaves us for Sunderland.. Rovers are advertised the position. Fully expected Bruno Reis or Glyn Chamberlain will get the role

All planning can be done just like it's been done every season by Mowbray and recruitment by that time come. The recruitment department will have done all the scouting, research and data analysis will be done by end of the season. Mowbray will have different list to select players from. He probably add a couple of Boro players to list 😂 Our recruitment department will be scouting players for the past 12 months and making lists up for the last month or so. So its doesnt make scouting players a thankless task at all. Our scouts will be watching loads of players on a weekly basis. Wyscout given you access to all the info, videos, data, etc. Rovers used Wyscout software. We have made some contracts offers to some players has you know . That's down to Mowbray and him making a decision who to go for. Nothing to do with the owners is it?. We went after a left back who was out of contract all summer and he turned us down for MLS club. Mowbray could have got Manning for a cheap fee but didnt. Signed a centre back on a 3 year contract who is totally injury prone. Of course there is a chance Mowbray will be gone. Do you really think the owners are happy with this season? Mowbray has admitted he doesnt speak to owners anymore but through their advisor Suhail Pasha. Is this the first sign that Mowbray has lost the confidence of the owners? That's is what I would do which is sack Waggott, Mowbray, Venus and Lowe today. Appoint Damien Johnson as Caretaker head coach for the rest of the season. Then interview for a new CEO to run the club within the next 2 to 3 weeks. Then appoint a new Sporting Director within 2 weeks of that appointment. Let him appoint a Head Coach to work under him. Sort out Rankin-Costello, Rothwell and Nyambe new contracts. Then Sportng Director with recruitment department starting choosing players to bring in that fit the head coach formation and style he wants to bring in. Playoffs/promotion should be aim every season unless you want to be mid table Championship club every season and on the highway to nowhere but middle table again. Let's get the champagne 🍾 for that again

Cos you are everytime by blaming the Owners. Its have been financially backed by the owners. He has 20 million pounds plus wages in 3 years and we havent improved enough to get top 6. Owners have backed Mowbray 3 years plan. Now it's time to change manager and structure You can keep moaning about this each and every summer transfer window but in all honest does it matter? No really. When was the last time we signed a player in May and June? Plus Waggott, Mowbray goes on holiday for 2 weeks away in normal circumstances.

England vs India summer series will be exciting and interesting how both play. Something to look forward

Mowbray is the main problem and his 3 years of recruitment that overall hasn't improve our position and in fact this summer we are going to lose a couple of talented players who are out of contract this summer plus need a total rebuild this summer. If its not Mowbray's fault then who to blame? Owners have provided Mowbray with another financial backing in 3 seasons to get us promote. I already know your view on that but Venkys have done twice previously as stated with Appleton and Bowyer. Who knows if he will be here next season. They will be end of the season review for sure . Mowbray wont be going to India this summer either and has already said he has only speak to Pasha now. Not directly to the owners. Does this Owners have lost faith in Mowbray now? Similar to Bowyer situation. Mowbray knows the way the owners work by now and you can keep making excuses after excuses for him, but to be honest I am bored of listening and reading them. Our recruitment department should have different lists with different price region for each position we need players for. If anything Mowbray should know his first, second and third targets for each position we need players for on different price lists right now.

Henderson wont be fit so its looks like Rice and Phillips. Until they play against them we wont know. Sterling and Foden can run in behind like they do for City.. Will Saka, Rashford and Sancho be fit by then?

Here I suggested playing 4-3-3 with Foden, Rice and Mount in midfield 3 https://www.brfcs.com/forums/topic/32147-premier-league-stuff/?do=findComment&comment=2183727

Mount can play there and could be discipline in there. I really dont think Centre midfield is a problem. Against the major nations Rice and Philips will play. Right way probably allowing Mount, Foden and Sterling behind Kane I dont see France as Favourite at all. Probably Belgium. But the Euros will be wide open especially with the pandemic around in mainland Europe.

Coming around to my way of thinking about Mount playing the deeper midfield role with Rice.

Cos we have a talent squad.. Looking at the Major countries who should be favourite then?
