No idea, but I’d wager that his knowledge of how to run a football club could be written on the back of a postage stamp. This is the the crux of the problem.

I’d rather have a bloke from Kettering who has two promotions to the Premier League under his belt.

Sean Dyche would do.

Yes. I rang on Monday and it arrived, (in Hull), on Tuesday.

To be fair, Posh's biggest problem is that they play pretty football, but are lightweight and leak goals like a sieve. The game at Ewood being a good example.

A pity one of these so called journalists doesn't confront him with the stats of his post Christmas collapses at Rovers, Cov and Boro.

All I can say is that, if there’s any substance to the WBA rumours, I hope the ink is dry on his contract. Otherwise, it is not going to happen given our form since February. I wouldn’t particularly want Steve Bruce, but I would definitely prefer him to Mowbray. As @JHRoversays, Bruce’s track record in the Championship is excellent.

I was unable to attend due to work yesterday but, from the reports on here, it takes me back to a must win game against Yeovil when Bowyer was in charge, and he instructed the players to protect a point at 0-0.

I think he recently said on the radio that clubs aren't interested in managers like him anymore. I think he forgot about us! He's another who's had his day and whose star is clearly falling. Mid table would be our ceiling with him, ie more of the same.

Unless you are close friends of the owners or their advisers, nobody really knows for sure what is happening / will happen. The club's employees in England will probably know as little as us, and cannot be treated as a reliable source of information.

My money would be on Pulis. HSH would easily sweet talk Venkys with a historical promotion to the Premier League, (Stoke).

If that's true, it just shows how little our owners and advisers have learned since 2010. They piss money away needlessly, but won't spend it when it's clearly justified and necessary.

I take your point about rushing through an appointment, but agree with @DE.that a caretaker would likely get better results than Mowbray on the run in. I normally wince when ex-players are being touted as managers, but I do think Ainsworth has shown enough to be given an opportunity at a bigger club. It’s far too simplistic to say he only has a team 7th in League One. If he was at Sunderland or Wigan I would agree. Ainsworth is at a club with very sparse resources whose natural level is League Two. He got them promoted to the Championship when they were favourites for relegation, made a reasonable fist it of it last season and has his team competing for promotion again this season. I don’t think any manager could be doing better at Wycombe, under the circumstances. His connection to Rovers would be a bonus, and we know he would be taking the job for the right reasons. Unfortunately, it’s highly unlikely anyway. It will be back to HSH Jurassic Park for another dinosaur.

Ainsworth will no doubt be be a damned sight better than whoever we end up with when Mowbray eventually leaves. Apart from the chance of some new manager ‘bounce’, the benefit of bringing in a new manager now is to give him the opportunity to assess ahead of preparations for next season.

Either way, one of the main reasons that Mowbray is still here is that Waggott almost certainly does not have the authority to remove and replace him. Venkys and their advisers make the big decisions, and they still know the square root of bugger all about football.

I mean Suhail Pasha and Gandhi Babu. Like every other CEO / MD since Venkys took over, Waggott’s appointment is simply to tick a box and give the illusion of a normal structure for a football club.

There are only about three teams finding it more difficult than us over a dozen or so games. As for, “We’ll keep going”, a typical crass remark and simply stating the bleeding obvious - we will fulfil our remaining fixtures.

Yes, this run is all too predictable. It's incredible that we were second a few months ago. Beggars belief.

Can see a win today, to build up hopes, followed by defeat at Peterborough on Friday.

Pasha and Babu, or whatever he’s called.

Absolutely nailed it.

I am hoping he goes at the same time as Mowbray, but if not I doubt he'll have any say in the next appointment. Mowbray essentially appointed him.

Yes, there are limits to what you can ask of players. If you are managing a top Premier League team with World class players, you can afford to experiment a little. If you are managing players with more limited abilities, you are better off keeping it simple. Eg, It’s debatable whether Gallagher is capable of playing at Championship level in any position, but playing him on the right is just plain stupid. As for the Johnson experiment v Derby ………….

Not sure he can shoot on his right one.

A decent loan striker, but of course we didn’t need one of those 🙄
