One thing i will say about Tony Mowbray after watching his interview on Rovers Player is that he comes across as an incredibly genuine, honest, hard working man. I will admit after the first interview he sounds like the second most likeable manager we have ever had (Bowyer of course being number 1). I am hoping to god he is successful as he does look like he knows what he is doing. Unlike Appleton, Kean, Coyle, Berg, and so forth. 

A man with a plan. But, I've still grave reservations about the lack of ability in this shambles of a squad.

He'll have his own ethos, but mentioned the main problem we have early on; our shape when we are out of possession.

Outright says we will go against his attacking philosophy in the 1st few days. "harder to beat, keep it tight, stay in the game."

Too many examples of tactics to list.

Easy to talk a good game, but he has my backing after that interview (Rovers player). He clearly has a plan, having seen our struggles and errors. 

More tactical nouse than Coyle and Bowyer put together. He's illustrated clearly in a single interview.

Impressive. 

Wow. That new coaching structure makes my head spin.

On Mowbray : had a wonderful few seasons but many moons again.   He seems a  throughly decent bloke, we should at least be thankful for that.

Lazy copy and paste job. Shows they are seriously short of content. I'm still raging that it's been published though.

They'll have known Rovers fans would've read the article, so its just another example of 'click bait.' - more fool us

Just now, Neal said:

I bet i could guess the 22. Again though... Don't click that nonsense.

Carl Elwell could be Coyle's pen name.

Kalinic has been superb for Fiorentina, and Dnipro before that. He's a very composed finisher, with clever movement.

Remember watching him exasperated as hoofed balls flew over his head. We never got the best out of him. He was another moved on by JA and his cronies.

Ferguson started poorly but put in some impressingly influential displays before his knee injury v Newcastle.

Martin Andresen was poor. Slow. Never got near anybody in his six month stint. Lowe is far better than him.

I don't watch much boxing but that was a proper fight.

Everyone may as well go to bed now as i doubt the Joshua fight can top that.

Chisora v Whyte was brilliant. A real brawl with spirit and guts.

Molina has non of that, so far. Usual stage managed fight.

Jose unearths Mkhitaryan, Klopp's kids, Chapocoense tragedy by Irish Times Second Captains Podcast

https://player.fm/1hYjCk#nowplaying

Skip to 23 mins to hear heartbreaking stories, then 29 mins to hear the technical suicide.

Ps. A great podcast, one of my staples.

Messi has tweeted that the ARG national team used the same plane the other week.

A tragic event. Condolences.

Darren Clarkes' speech. Sounded and looked like he'd been on the pop.

As speeches go, it was appalling. Sickening and false sincerity.

Didn't know where to put this, just out of the Supersonic viewing. There's a huge Rovers scene in it, I won't spoil it further.

Liam did a QandA and he may have inadvertently offended Indians when doing an impression of Noel.

I remember him in tears at Turf Moor as they taunted him with : "where's virsace gone? F#Ing Elton John"

Unless it's grown as a myth.

That brought back memories, as I think he was a member of the team that beat Palace 3-1 in the first leg of the play off final, under the old format. Unless I am mistaken, he missed the penalty that could have made it 4-1 ad we all know what followed at Selhurst Park.

His reasonings for declining are obvious and well delivered.

Good signing but worried I only shrugged my shoulders on reading it

Same # Venkys out, Coyle out

I still haven't managed to bring myself to watch that interview, and I still can't look at him holding our scarf/being at Ewood without wanting to vomit.......

Ive not heard anything still (apart from headlines sent to me). It's soul destroying.

It's on the LT site

Eric is a really likeable guy. Heard him speak at length and publically at the ' Tea Party.'

He's sorted out a real mess, and when he speaks you hear his passion and knowledge.

He's a Rover and this club means more to him than most.

Enjoyable article, too.

Lets home he's right about the current graduates, because we need them more than ever.

I've had a shocking nights football. Milan lost the cup final In extra time.

Then Nyc lost the Hudson derby 7-0. SEVEN!

Admittedly I only watched from 70 minutes onwards. But from what I saw Wimbledon just looked better.

Delighted for Wimbledon fans.

Polite lot of invaders too.

Posing for sedate selfies with the players.

Ship jumpers, you may return to Ewood!

This is brilliant. The fire brigade have been called. I don't think Stanley's lights had extra time in mind

Proper club, proper football; according to some.

In an ideal world, if successful, Wimbledon deserve huge credit. A club literally stolen, and relocated. Rebuilt from the bottom up. A wonderful achievement.

MK Dons are an insult to the English game, and I wish them nothing but ill. (The views are my own).

Tense in Serie A tonight.

Spare a thought for little Carpi who are winning 2nil at Udine.

As it stands it won't be enough. Palermo are winning against relegated Verona.

A mental struggle for them, though. 10 aside. Sutton commentating.

I'd give you all an overview of Palermo's coaching merry go round, but I'd be here til midnight.

Same for me. In fact I have more 'affiliation' with Wimbledon.

As I remember being at junior school in May 1988 - when literally ALL the glory hunters supported Liverpool....needless to say the Monday after the FA Cup final was a better day

No ties to LFC but, as a pure fball lover, I Remember being gutted Wimbledon won.

Liverpool were great to watch that season.

Beating Forest 5nil on Sports night remains a great childhood memory.

Spellbound. Must've worn the tape out.

No Ill will to Stanley, they're a great old name,

Rovers come first.
