Yes but we are Blackburn Rovers, I'm assuming Melbourne are interested in results. I only hope the fans in Melbourne "know what we are trying to do here."

He's interim coach isn't he? Every chance he won't be kept on.

and the pyramids.

Should have been sent off early in that game. Would have saved his career!

I'm confident we won't go down. I think we are safe. What worries me is that this is what counts as success at Ewood these days!

If he's still here next season, the consequences will be profound. However spun, a large number of supporters won't buy it. The attendance figures will be embarrassing and Ewood will be more like a morgue. Relegation would be a near certainty.

Love this latest guff from Mowbray! Apparently he does not condone the practice of changing managers when things are going wrong! You have to gradually improve the squad by signing players over several windows! And what is important is that the Club has to "develop an identity". Utter self-serving shite aimed at the owners Tony! Just how low can you sink? You've had the years, you've had the time to develop the club's identity (whatever that means) and you've had the transfer money. And we are farther away from the goal of Premiership football than ever. And the reason is, you Tony are a rotten manager. Time to go! https://footballleagueworld.co.uk/tony-mowbray-issues-clear-message-on-his-current-situation-at-blackburn-rovers/

Many of the comments on LT are truly embarrassing but that will always be the case. Its the smugness that gets me, apparently that they can see what others can't. Just look at the points total since the end of January lads. Tells you all you need to know. They often blame the players too---haven't put a decent shift in! No attempt to look behind the individual performances---who bought them? Who picks them? Who decides where they play? Who decides the formation? The substitutions? In their world the manager doesn't have responsibility.

I do agree with Gumboots that the amount of swearing recently is over the top. Its no longer occasional---far from it. It doesn't worry me a lot but its not pleasant. If we were to get relegated at the end of the season I could understand a long venting outburst of it but everyday is too much.

I don't think he's even doing a very good job of that!

Even our most recent form is alarming---3 draws and 2 losses from last 5 games. That is nailed-on relegation form. We would go into the last game with 50 points if that were to be repeated. Probably OK but not definite.

The answer to money and time required is BARNSLEY. TM is a fraud.

Was wondering what Chaddy meant even while I wondered what Chaddy meant.

Fingers crossed.

Quick summary of this thread for anyone in a hurry: "we're in a right mess."

When we win (rare I know) Mowbray claims football's a results business. When we lose he goes on about the performance. Complete fraud.

Or, if they want to end these huge losses, sack the manager, get a good one and fund a promotion drive. Get promotion and sell. Only way you'll come close to getting your money back Venkys.

Those eye-watering losses they caused you mean? Do they want out of this league or not?

Shrug---just miss the 20 goals then.

Sooner play for Gerrard than Mowbray? Idiot! 🙄

Code for "we're selling him but the money can't be used to replace him as its going into Balaji's back pocket"?

I think it could have been( although its so unbalanced) if only the manager had played people in their natural positions and not changed the side every week. That alone would have lifted confidence and morale.

So what 's he been doing all this time then? No forced sales and £20m to spend. Its taken him over 4 years to have us worried once more about relegation. Barnsley, on the other hand.....

I agree. Its not healthy to be so dependent on one player to score goals. After all, he could be down with injury at any time. I would prefer 3 to chip in with say 12 each. That should have been Brereton and Gallagher's stats but they clearly are not what we needed. Manager again.

Quite right, they're either the owners or they are not.
