Glad you see it as good news but as for the rest as usual you are probably 5000 miles off the mark.

The guy should be ripped into little pieces by ANY half decent journo with a pair of balls. The stuff he comes out with is meat and drink it's like a boxer standing thee with his hands down. Unbelievable how he can get away with such contradictory dog shit week after week, month after month. He's embarrassing. Soon as he mentions possession and performance again after another defeat there's your chance boys !

The ownership thick as it is are probably shrugging their shoulders thinking if we drop again we'll come straight back again. Only cost them a seasons championship budget and about 2 million in transfer money. I think they'd find that again for one more season of Mowbray. Especially if it gives another opportunity for cost cutting and is balanced by 10 million in player sales. Then there is the land..... Never underestimate the stupidity of this lot and their pals before progress attitude.

Has Mowbray ever really been in regular touch with the owners though ? Of has it been just another lip service line he's thrown out occasionally to pacify fans. Part of the reason for getting Waggot on board was so the lines of communication where supposed to improve through him. Leaving Mowbray to get on with his job. To be honest i doubt any of them ever speak to the real organ grinders unless they themselves ring from India. Also the messenger/spy or whatever he is has allegedly been away due to covid. Wonder if that's had any bearing on the mess of this season ? Easy street must've been that bit easier without any eyes and ears around the place.

Letting the likes of Nyambe go on nothing more than compen isn't exactly the Brentford model these 3 goons are pitching is it ? Absolute shower of R soles.

Blackburn Rovers these days seems all about Tony Mowbray. Something his disciples don't seem to notice.

He's a very very crafty operator when it comes to the verbals he's been at it years. Trouble is with guys like that when people finally see through them they can't see it themselves. He's been making a fool of himself for a while now in all but the most blinkered eyes.

So it sounds like Travis has spoken back to him in no uncertain terms. If dropping someone because they have a go back is the 'maturity' of Mowbrays management it's no wonder players are in and out so often.

He's been around quite a while, funny guy.

Definitely proved himself on a par with Coyle on and off the pitch. He over the last 12 months has developed a real tendency for verbal diarrhea like clownpants. On the football side of it equally as confusing and trying a style neither he or his team can make a success of. Coyle was a liar and ducker and diver though the min he set foot in the place and he began his charade in the transfer market straight away. Mowbray i think to be fair has been steady away and well meaning but has just gone into self preserving mode worse and worse as time has gone on. Now it seems he'll say anything he can regardless of contradictions and brazen it out. So he's turned into just as big a twohat as the goon he replaced.

That's the first question they should be asking.

So as long as the owners are enjoying the games and feel we are unlucky nothing else matters. Nothing sums up Venkys tenure as owners better than that. Fans feelings really do not matter a jot.

No need to retire your strike rate is no worse than a few who claim a bit of ITK on here. And besides Nixon makes a living off edging his bets.

This is why when people are saying there's a root and branch clearout coming in summer i'm convinced it's by him not starting with him. The only way he knows how to do things is down grading and cutting costs. That's why he was at Charlton and Coventry. Clubs on the way down adjusting to a low income existence. Now he's here with billionaire owners but pitching his down scale, squeeze everything you have methods. Then he'll be gone with a nice fat pension and maybe bonuses in his pocket. Not a good situation at all and of course it means Mowbray remains here. Another only suited to lower end deadbeat stuff. This really could end with another relegation and a load of money in from player sales and land sales. That side of it probably appeals to some parts of the ownership if not others. Dangerous people.

I reckon his PR man will be handing out plenty warnings before it begins.

Pressers on a Thurs before or after training normally ? Don't know what they are bothered about anyway all the questions he'll get will be loaded for the usual easy stock replies.

They'd built up some passion again after league 1 but failed to capitalize on any of it. Clubs like Rovers need a fire behind them once the blue touch paper is lit, always been the case. They miss judged everything very badly on that score, the ambition which everyone in a town like Blackburn needs to see to believe in was just replaced by a 'job done' attitude. They all settled in the the plod instead of the push on. No ambitious signings just new generous deals for players who'd turned in one good season after relegating us in the first place. Price rises assuming crowds would rocket again instead of trying to draw lapsed fans and part timers back in. And a manager telling the owners to put their money away lets go at a snails pace instead. Many chances gone right there and then. Of course hindsight is a wonderful thing, except we were saying it at the time !

He'll roll out the under performing loanees in front of our own again probably. You know the ones who won't give much of a toss because they won't be here next year. Got to do everybody else favors first, keep everybody happy. About as ruthless as a grandmothers canary.

Benson and Lowe are just collateral damage of the way the club is now run. Both iv'e no doubt work hard and do their best but really shouldn't be near a team that supposedly has promotion aspirations. Mowbray inherited both and kept them either because he had to or by his own judgement. I'll always remain a little skeptical of the moving of Johnson into the first team fold. Either way though he'd proven himself a very useful asst to the club with his management of the U23s. It looks from the outside like they moved him and created a position for him. Odd really when he was doing so well where he was. And how much does Mowbrays backroom team cost the club now ? Benson. Lowe, Johnson, Venus, himself, drones, drone pilots, analytical staff the list goes on and on. Then they penny pinch in the physio and medical depts. It's not good, i doubt it's all really needed and it's all on Mowbrays doorstep. Yet form on niggles and knocks and bringing back players before they are ready is worse than ever before. Sooner he's gone the better before he clogs up the entire club.

By the looks of it as well as the confused look on Mowbrays face he's quite simply installed too many cooks. Stats are taking over the game and he's thinking he's pioneering that so everybody is running around with a clipboard. Your attempts to smear Johnson and divert away from the REAL problem are rather obvious and a bit sad really.

That's what the manager expects of him though, it'll be fook all to do with Benson either way.

There is no argument to be had. A novice coaching from a manual was coaching young keepers and putting a loanee through his paces. Now he's got an experienced international number 1 there everyday. Who's rubbing off on who ? What can he possibly 'teach' someone like Kaminsky ? Nothing, apart from perhaps offering stats on the opposition. So in effect having him around is better for Benson and his own learning curve no ? The Johnno comment is bollocks seeing as he had a very good and long career as a high level player. So no correlation whatsoever but yes he should be perfectly able to coach the first team instead of Mowbray and Venus. How could he be worse than 1 win in 14 with such a good squad to pick from that he knows very well.

That's because Kaminsky has probably forgotten more than Benson will ever know. Quality keepers just need putting through their paces day in day out, thankfully the recruitment dept found us one. Perhaps Benson will learn something from him.

All the more reason to need a team with a bit of fight and hope about it. Sadly it reflects its manager, comfortable in a dire situation.

So JRC and A N Other rotating at right back, Bell again and now Pickering rotating at left back. The stuff of Tombola Tony's dreams this.
