For anybody driving down the M6 is closed on the exit and entrance slip roads at junction 10. https://nationalhighways.co.uk/our-work/west-midlands/m6-junction-10-improvement/

Hartlepool have sacked their manager Graeme Lee. It's only about fifteen miles from where Mowbray lives and he would have his work/life balance. Nothing would surprise me in football.

Did you see the empirical evidence posted on here by Miller11 which proves beyond doubt we are a better side with Nyambe in the team? I want Rovers to have the best chances of winning every game and leaving Nyambe out diminishes that. Lenihan and Rothwell are in the same position but have played recently - I have to ask why.

You're so wrong. Any employer worth their salt would have told Mowbray (irrespective of how he performs) what the situation would be with regard to their deal. It really shows these people up for what they are. All this innuendo about them and the future is bollocks, they aren't bothered about Rovers and if you think differently that's your prerogative but don't try and convince us that they are any different now to when they walked in the door. And as far as Rovers are concerned they are the 'idiots in Pune'.

You seem to be falling for Mowbrays patter. Why weaken the team by playing an inferior player when he is fit, just working too hard. And playing our captain and arguably best centre half at right back further weakens us wouldn't you say? Why has Nyambe not been on the bench recently but Zeefuik has? He is only back from long term injury buts gets on the bench ahead of a fit Nyambe? Again who is the best right back at the club?

He has been substituted several times this season and an inferior right back replaced him. I remember Mowbray dropping him for a game at Millwall because 'his numbers were high'. If I were a manager I would want every players numbers to be high. Mowbray has weakened the team by dropping/substituting Nyambe on numerous occasions, to me a case of cutting off his nose to spite his face. Who is the best right back at the club?

After Mowbrays work/life balance interview last week, in which he was adamant he was going, I honestly can't see him doing a u-turn and staying. If the story is correct (throw enough darts and eventually you'll hit the bullseye) from Nixon and they did actually meet my guess it was that finally Mowbray has got the official word that his contract isn't being renewed.

So Mowbray announces his departure and Nyambes agent opens talks again with the club about a new deal. Coincidence?

I was told at the weekend that lots of Ewood staff have been invited for free as the uptake is embarrassingly low. As you say £75 for a three course meal is scandalous and another example of how he sees the fan's as cash cows.

Well done Fulham on winning the Championship. The best team in it by a country mile.

Mowbray is being linked with the Hibs job. In my view it's just lazy journalism as Kean has been listed as 25/1.

But that's not a bit............

I heard Neil Harris being interviewed on Saturday and he said the fact he will only has five contracted players for next season is a positive for him. He said he can build a new squad with players he wants and mould them into a team playing how he wants to. Of course the huge difference between that and our situation is that at the moment we don't have anybody in place to start this process. And my real fear, based on the last twelve years, is that we won't have anybody yet for a few weeks and miss out on vital planning time for next season

A new competition - counts the chins. 😂😂😂

And he is arguably our best centre half. Playing him at full back weakens us in two positions.

It's strange because I was always under the impression that the coaching staffs contracts were aligned with the managers in terms of the length. Another anomaly from a dysfunctional place?

Great analysis. I have long felt for some reasons it was personal with Mowbray.

I agree and having just read the full transcript of his interview I have a degree of sympathy with him. Perhaps he will realise over the next few weeks that perhaps the owners are actually disingenuous and not all he thought they were. He did still Mark get a few 'good human beings' in though.

He should have Tom! The referee didn't handle that particular situation too well. It appeared to me that VH was going to get a last warning message when a Bournemouth player ran in waving an imaginary card. The referee booked him but didn't isolate him to do so - he just waved it in the general direction where a few players were. In the confusion I'm not sure if VH actually got his warning.

Didn't he say "the place needs exorcising' in one of his early interviews?

It was good to hear boos when Waggott stepped into the pitch yesterday to present some award. Hopefully he is hanging his head in shame today after the way his bosses have behaved with Mowbray. And then he leaves too.

In truth Simon Jordan has very little credibility when it comes to running football clubs. Venkys have handled this particular situation awfully, pretty much in keeping with the last twelve years. The elephant is still in the room.

Bournemouth were streets ahead of us today as not one Rovers player win his own individual battle. I'm actually baffled as to how we can play with real intensity and pace a few days ago and then put in such a flat, listless performance today. The passing was generally woeful today save for a couple of balls in the first half. We were back to the square passes along the back line for which Bournemouth just stood off and let us do it. In true Mowbray fashion though he dumbfounded everyone with his substitutions which made us look like a pub team as players shifted around the pitch looking confused. Although the season isn't get over I will certainly look back on this as a season of missed opportunity given our position in February. Lots of reasons for this but the main one was the lack of quality coming in in January. Many derided Bournemouth for their signings but they have got them promoted. Every Bournemouth substitute today would be a regular in our team.

And between them they have hundreds of league appearances. The young team thing is a myth perpetuated by Mowbray to cover most of his own inadequacies. And people fall for it.

Being entitled is a real slur. I object to that term being used to describe any of us who simply wants the best for us. I don't expect success but I want it. There is a marked difference between the two and the poster is insulting us by his insinuation.
