What has he got to do with Tony Mowbray and this thread? Set up an Agent thread and discuss him there Tbh, I really couldnt care about Simon Conning. You are obsess about agents. Thats why I think you are football agent or work for a sport agency Jal out!!! All that matters is staying up this season.

What has Simon Conning got to do the Mowbray thread? If you want to talk agents then start a thread about it I felt that Steele in the 3 league games Ive seen since Mowbray took over he looks better. Under Coyle felt Steele went massive backwards.

I've said all season long we need a new keeper and it should have been one of the most important areas to strength last summer

How much did Mowbray spend compare to Karanka? Plus wasnt Gibson(Boro owner) making cutbacks after the very expensive Gordon Strachan spend a forture and got nowhere? Before we start thinking of the summer transfer window and next season we must be focusing on staying up THIS season. On the keeper issue Steele looks better and more confident. Still think Raya needs some good game time here. Mowbray hasnt bought in a GK coach yet. So he needs to bring one in the summer. Maybe he is waiting for Dean Kiely or someone else employed. If Pardew get the Norwich job then I can see Kiely leaving cos Pardew always want Andy Woodman as Gk coach at his previous clubs(last 2 at least)

I did address saying We have to deal with who we got in that role. If Senior does a good job I will say so. If he does poor I will say so. Ive never say everything in the garden is rosy have I? I said lets focus on staying up this season..very impressed by Mowbray so far.

Are you the wind up or something? Cant believe we are still going on about a tie for 5 days. Its Black and Blue in all honest who really cares!!! Maybe his tie colour mattets more than win or picking points up???

The DoF model does work in English football. Look at Southampton for example. This model works in Europe. I think Mowbray and Senior will work together in bringing in signings this summer. But like Ive said many times signings must fit the style of play we will used. I'm happy with the points total so far. Its more than we would have got under Coyle tbh.

Yes it is wrong way to run a club but its Venkys way and that what we have. I agree with the Director of football/head coach model. Think it does work if used right. Lets just focus on staying up and supporting the players and Mowbray this season. Whether we have a worse squad next season we will see in the summer. I personally think we have too much deadwood in the squad like Greer, Brown, Lowe, Stokes. We need good signings in the summer that fit into Mowbray's style of playing and tactics. Last summer Coyle didnt have a proper plan or a clue

Cheston wont be in charge of the football operations side. He deal with the finances side of the club but very doubt he will be setting budgets cos all that will be decide by the owners. He will go through Pasha who then talks to Balaji. So he isnt number 1 but that is Pasha. Both Senior and Cheston both report to Pasha. Whether Senior speaks direct to Balaji I dont know but I think he does cos he must have been pushing for Coyle sacking for weeks

Thanks for the link there AllRoverAsia. But I dont believe he is in the loop at all. I said that Senior appears to running all football operations like his job title is.

I think Mowbray will bring through a few from the under 23's like Wharton, Hardcastle, Doyle and Rankin Costello. I would only offer new deals to Guthrie and Mahoney. I expect Wes Brown, Gordon Greer, Jason Lowe, Hope Akpan, Adam Henley all to leave I think we will sign Emnes on a permanent deal if we stay up. Knows Mowbray very well and he knows how to get him to play to his best. I would be looking to sign Gallagher or Hoban if we could. Expect Stokes to leave. Cheston said this? Is he in the loop? It appears that Senior is running the Football operations from start and end. Leaving Cheston and Slivester to deal with the admin side On the recruitment side, Senior will be charge of this but I think he and Mowbray will decide on a shortlist after the season has finish and Senior will do the deals. whilst Mowbray focus on the coaching side of the club and bring in one or 2 staff like a new fitness coach or gk coach.

Said this on Saturday night/Sunday. Cant believe people are still discussing this. Shame some people havent got better things to do

On Mowbray leaving Coventry, he was replaced by Russell Slade. Who has been sacked today. Only won 1 league game. Going to replace by Mark Robins according the rumours

How is Butterworth finding the under 23's level? Can I ask what type of player is Mols? I expect 6 or 7 of those you mention in our 1st team squad next season of 25 players

I did tell you the colours. Nothing wrong with my vision. So dont start this BS stuff. Its embaressing to read. But yet again all you want to keep talking about a tie. Very pathetic. You judge players you never seen. Time to put you on ignore I think

I think Ive answered this question in my post that this reply is from. I couldn't give a monkey toss what colour his tie was. If that's all you really care about then its time you gave up supporting Rovers and get back to the day job. You haven't comment on the Mowbray ability to get the team to pick up wins and clean sheets in his first 3 games. I wonder why you haven't. Does it not suited your agenda or agency? Lets be honest you and Stuart have blown this all situation out of proportion over the colour of a tie. Very disappointed and sad to see people focusing on a tie colour instead of winning Football matches. What more important Wins or Colour of a tie? I know which one I would pick and its aint the of colour a tie

Mid table means we stay up. that's is all that matters. maybe you want us to go then you can thinking what colour of tie Mowbray will be wearing next season as long as Mowbray is happy with Lowe as his number 2 that's all that matters.

I really don't care tbh But to me its look like Dark Blue and light blue(The colour of the home and away kits). But I just cant believe a poster is more bothered about a tie than a Head coach winning games. What your agenda then? Mowbray is winning games. That's all matters tbh

I think at his age he will have suspect moments. Think his heading is very decent. Crossing needs to work on but Under Mowbray I can see this improving. I noticed before the last 2 home games that David Lowe works with the back 4 before the game and all the back 4 work on their positioning and staying together as a unit

Nyambe is playing well at the minute. Look at his performances in the last 2 games How are players like Nyambe or Raya going to keep us down? You even admit you haven't seen Nyambe played recently but you choose to judge when you have no idea. The squad is good enough in this league and should be mid table under a good manager which Mowbray is doing and performances are better. Team is more organised and there is a clear game plan and the players are playing towards which we lacked under the previous manager. The players know what the plan is and we are playing to that plan.

But we aren't challenging for promotion tho Jal. We need to stay up 1st before even thinking of promotion to the PL Nyambe is currently playing well but all you do is pointless negative points about him which IMO aren't valid

I was sceptical about his appointment but like others spoke and read other clubs fans opinions of his and had very positive things to say about him On Magath, I remember people on here saying he would get them promoted but I said he wasn't suited the English game or his methods who cares about a tie. the questions should be 1. are his tactics and structure of the team working? 2 Are the players playing for him and respond to his methods? 3. the most important question are we winning games and out of the bottom 3?

I would be getting Nyambe to sign a new contract. Performances have improved game by game. of course he will have bad days and that's to be expected at his age but under Mowbray and his coaching team I think he will keep improving Firstly, You have to be there to judge a player and to see the improvement of a player. I think he has proven you wrong but you seem to have a personal issue with him. secondly, we are in the championship not the premiership. so its doesn't matter at this stage if he is premiership material. I will worry about that when we get there and not before.

I am showing respect. But Jal is more interested in a tie than commenting on Mowbray getting the team winning, more organised and keeping clean sheet. Plus he is pro active with his subs than most managers ive seen

How would you when you arent there? You cant stand it that Nyambe is proving you wrong. Its time you admitted you were wrong and that Nyambe's performances are getting better and better
