'Look i'm just trying to win football matches all i want is the goalie to kick it down field and Gallagher to run in at the back stick an stick it in the net. Now if you strike me just for that you won't be a good human and i may drop to the floor or have to go to hospital. I'll end up where i end up'

That sums him up perfectly. His shoulder shrugging 'seen it all before' mentality is enough to make me vomit. No club on earth would continue with it if they had any slight shred of ambition. As for those still living off the lge 1 promotion for gods sake give up even Bowyer got Blackpool promoted. They were a far bigger mess than our lot despite what some would try and make out.

That game will be a nightmare as thousands of Stokies turn up howling your support is effing shit and a half empty ewood sits in silence.

Yes we were down to 10 but ended up getting our noses in front however the real issue here is how bad it was before all that started. the dingbat has in recent months noticeably slowed down the pace of the passing around the back line. We've had teams coming at us again after a period of them sitting back yet gone is the swift countering and tigerish ball winning and pressing. It's an embarrassing fall away no other word for it.

He needs to be gone tonight just resign man FFS !

Rovers have managed to lose to 10 men this season yet it's nailed on we'd not win one with ten.

Perfect excuse written now.

I was asking about Suhail and how this shadowman pays his bills. That's an eye watering wage though for a club like them so i wonder if it's a cost cutting measure planning for the inevitable. They are fooked now and i'm ecstatic.

What does John Coleman know about Championship football or dealing with players on 10k plus pwk ? Nowt. Sadly there is more to the job than just beating the drum.

What wages is he on ? What agencies is he pals with ?

You start your best team for the job ? Well what was the job v Derby and Coventry ?

I agree iv'e enjoyed parts of this season more than any recent ones but i didn't see many people smiling last Saturday or after playing Fulham at home. A few good months and unexpected top 2 position doesn't allow for everything else to be swept under the carpet. What we've seen over the last few months is the standard Mowbray stuff that we have to look forwards to next season and beyond if he stays. After basically blaming the players then - quite rightly - the officials he's now presenting himself as their protector. The guy is insufferable. As for the funds well over the FFP cycle him and his CEO have spent all the brass they were allowed, this is plain fact backed up by the accounts. Hopefully a new cycle begins in summer and if these owners keep the same commitments then there might be some wiggle room. So it's time for him to wiggle off for a good rest and in his own words let someone else have a go, we recovered from the Coyle debacle and will do so again. Blackburn Rovers FC doesn't revolve around Tony bloody Mowbray what if the fella actually wants to leave ? Anyone ever thought of that ? We have to move on at some point so now it's a case of sooner the better and leave the knee trembling in the past.

If Sam or someone is to step up we ain't reinvesting any BBD money there's the first clue right there. Also if that was the plan then there'd quite obviously have to be yet another change in style of play because Gallagher is a center forward. Nothing more nothing less despite what professor Tone tries to make him into it isn't happening, yet we don't play with CFs plus there is Dack to consider. More muddling next season to look forwards to.

The impression i get is that's how Mowbray and a few others down there would like it to be and the only remit they have to follow. Nice low budget easy number without the pressure of top 6 ambitions from owners and fans. Rotate team every week keep everybody involved, shrug shoulders when you win one in ten and say not bothered as long as some are developing. Oh, hang on a min we've already seen that in recent years ! This season has put that crap to bed and proved you don't need 100 mill or to be paying players 30k pwk just to at least have a go at it.

The odds are it would be one from the HSH bin list that nearest matched the criteria of the last 3. If they didn't want it it would roll onto the next one and so on. If i had to go for anyone on there it probably would be Robins he has form for doing what Mowbray couldn't do. Could he do better with a better squad and a bit more backing ? Why don't we try and find out because spinning the wheel, giving them a fair crack of the whip and reasonable backing is the only way this club will really turn into promotion material.

Instead of changing tack stand by your repeated words and take the bet. When Lambert came in he was mid 40s and had a promotion in the last 5 years on his cv. Coyle not much older and also a promotion in less than a decade on his cv. Mowbray early 50's and similar to Coyle. There's a pattern there that you aren't seeing and that's the reason Coyle got his foot in the door via his links to those he'd never heard of. Phil Brown is in his 60s he isn't on the dole (yet) he's in league 2 and his promotion was over a decade ago. It won't be Phil Brown and that is the be all and end all of the debate.

Whatever is going on at Ewood the LT comments section always has at least 50% beating the drum for what most see as the problem. Venkys, Kean, Coyle even Anderson and co at times, now TM can do no wrong. It's always been the same and if you were operating 'positive' PR with multiple accounts or looking for clickbait that's where you'd go. A lot of those clowns don't exist and others never ever take off the spectacles.

I'm saying it won't be Phil Brown who you keep throwing presumably because he is the worst you can think of besides Kean and Coyle. If you are going to keep trying to terrify people into clinging on to your hero i suggest you get a bit more realistic. Underwhelming it no doubt would be, HSH it no doubt would be but Phil Brown it won't be.

No it'll be Alan Smith or what about John Gregory ? Might as well throw all yesterdays men in whilst we frighten everybody into toeing the Mowbray line.

Stop the scaremongering FFS i'll stake you £100 right now it won't be Phil Brown so step up or...

Ha ha that's the funniest thing iv'e heard on here in a while. All they want to do is turn his words into print they don't want to be sweeping bits of eggshell off their shoes. After his ego has gone bang at the slightest prod.

It's just a kid from their youth squad i think.

If they are just going to pass it to Venus they might as well do it now and see if he can relight the fire in the remaining games. Mowbray threw the towel in with that first half v Derby ! All he's going to do between now and the end of the season is shrug his shoulders and tell us how great he thinks the players are, after blaming them since Feb for most things.

Don't think he's engineered it this season to be fair although in the past his odd methods have clearly held us back, opinions vary as to why. He was found out several years ago in terms of being bull headed enough for a promotion drive. Most clubs have ups and downs in a season but the regular post Christmas hardly any wins in double figure games that he serves up are an obvious flaw in his methods. There's no hiding from it now and another obvious trait of his is to blame it ALL on the players.

Very possible there is still an agency running this gaff for Vs via Waggot and Mowbray with the usual man in the middle. It would explain quite a few things like the old boys club, Boro connections and the untouchable yet never taking responsibility of a few of them.
