He'd be mad to go back there. That club is us in a few years time. Utter sympathy for the 5,000 fans they still have left attending. Sounds like they will also be playing at non-league Nuneaton next year due to another "Rent" battle over the RICOH.

8-9 years ago? They are hardly relevant when he has had three jobs since. Much like the position Coyle was in. He also oversaw relegation at WBA so far from an "excellent" record.... And then he bombed in the second half's without so much of a play off place and they were rooted below mid-table when finally potted. Why hark bark to 1st January when it's only 50 % of the season unless your trying to suit your own argument? So that's a promotion and a relegation at WBA Third worst in 130 years record at Celtic - the worst since 1993. Then Sacked A sack at Mboro Almost a sacking but left Coventry rooted earlier this season. Excuse me if I didn't come across that excited when he was announced. Certainly a good start and i would hope he continues with it. Far too early to call him a "success" though.

Who mentioned WBA? Facts are facts mate how is it unfair exactly?

He's still suspect in my eyes chaddy, looks ok at the moment as we've not had an out and out right back for years. He's still scared of crossing and heading which are pre-requisites for any full back role. Positionally naive but getting slightly better.

Genk Belgium 22 August 2014 22 June 2015 35 18 10 7 51.43 Zamalek[79] Egypt 28 February 2016 2 May 2016 10 6 2 2 60.00 Errr I'd say that is a pretty good record especially with Genk qualifying for europe. As said at the time i'd have seen McCleish till the summer and a fresh look then when there is time.

I'd heard it from a Very good source, that it literally was that. Happened six weeks ago if i recall?

Yeah the club offered 1.1k when he wanted 3k.

It's simple and probably more prevalent in this day in age..."Your only as good as your last job" and Mowbrays last three involved being sacked. Quite right there was skeptics over his appointment. Felix Magath was fantastic 10 years ago winning the league but when at Fulham was a complete horror show.

Had to save his CV i guess. Mark Venus his old assistant stayed i believe? Sacked by Celtic (worst win record since 1993) won just 23 from 45 in charge, 3rd worst win record in Celtic's entire history. Sacked at Middlesborough And the issue at Coventry where he left them routed to the table. You can see why people were not exactly enamored with his appointment BUT a big well done thus far.

If he didn't walk he'd have been sacked.

Sorry Ninja but entirely agree with DE, that much i'm not going to add further comment.

Would you be saying that if his return was 0/9 as opposed to 7/9? Fair play to Mowbray he has hit the ground running but the proof will be at the end of the year. 3 games out of 15 was it it to go, shows it's a mini marathon and not a sprint. Nothing changes for me, new manager/new face same s**t as owners. Still in your 56 posts to date I'm sure you've made more insightful posts and contributions to the forum.

Good to hear it Baggie and long may it continue, got a soft spot for you guys. No way Williams would have, shocking things on the weblink below confirm he was in an untenable position at the time including the leaked letter by the club drafted by him. https://www.sportskeeda.com/football/misery-at-blackburn-rovers-leaked-documents-reveal-harrowing-details-of-the-indian-rule-at-riverside. Glens blog on http://venkysout.com/(Rovers Revisited) May shed more in too. How do you fare on Pulis by the way? I know it was 50-50 with some fans at one stage? 8th now and a few points cushion is a terrific season!

Glad your taking to him, 77 now is John! Still as sharp as ever though. Berahino is a disgrace especially what WBA had done for him, he will never hit those early heights again. Almost 18 months sat around doing nothing instead of that goal scoring feeling does allot to a player. Good luck and fingers crossed with the Lai takeover. Hoping you and any other club don't get a Venkys.

Take it down Craigman will pm

Going to leave this just here for Mike Cheston/Venkys and give BRFC and the board a wide berth for a bit. All the best lads.

If by a miracle we stay up, with the way the club is now being ran and cut to death then surely you realise next season we will be the favourite for the drop anyways? Why delay the inevitable?

Manger well head coach... with a Senior in charge pretending to play director of football. You seriously have to wonder who the hell walks out on SISU and joins Venkys months later, it's hardly someone with a high level of self respect is it and it's borderline hypocritical. He can do whatever. I genuinely don't care anymore, good luck to him. Support from day one? We've done that for each of the Venky 7 appointments with each one progressively more underwhelming than any predecessor bar Lambert. Did we really have Lambert to Coyle to Mowbray in 12 months or am I in a bad dream. It's come to the point where I think support needs to earned over a period of time and not just give on day one because we've got our latest washed up has been with the Venky/SEM PR machine in the background lapping up the "support".

Like a majority of your posts

Why give him a chance? If he is prepared to work for this circus then he is just as bad as them. A decent bloke wouldn't affiliate himself with the vile. Let himself down big time.

You answered your negative section of your post with your positives. That is why he doesn't get results as he doesn't have a f****n clue.

I've been thinking about it for a while now but I think I'm done. I'm packing football in all together.

Corrected for you.

It makes me almost apologetic for dismissing Adkins.

"Outstanding" Candidate wait for it................
