So what if John Park was influential in the Khadra signing?

That's his bloody job after all.

The article basically said Park watched him for 45mins in a friendly and said to Mowbray "If you want a direct player who can beat a defender, sign this lad."

Fuck me, I could do that job no problem.

Mowbray knew one of the blokes at Brighton (worked with him at West Brom) so parks involvement was Jack shit.

Do you really think Rovers are thinking of sacking Mowbray with us sat in 8th in the league? 

Didn't we approach Wilder last season after his sacking at Sheffield United and he rejected it?

If they aren't planning on offering him a new contract, then yeah, why wouldn't they sack him?

Clearly the clubs hierarchy don't believe he's the man to take the club forward in the medium/long term, so why not bin him and appoint someone they do want, before he gets snapped up by someone else?

Not sure if we approached him or not but perhaps he wanted a break before getting back into management again.

Or a man who knows he off at the end of the season?

 

I don't understand why we are just keeping him on until the end of the season if we don't want him long term?

Likely to miss out on other managerial targets whilst we wait for the season the pan out.

We still have to pay his wages for the remained of his contract either way, so what difference does it make if we sacked him now?

Wilder has done an interview with skysports.

He's ready for another job, expects it to be in the Championship and a club that isn't in the greatest shape.

What are we waiting for?!?!

mowbray would`nt get sacked if he took us into the conference,the only man who can relieve us of mowbray is tony himself,personally think he`ll reach some settlement and walk away at the end of this season,with a self satisfied demenour and a farewell from his telegraph groupies

I am right in thinking his contract is up at the end of the season?

Please 🙏

Imagine if we didn't concede that 8th minute injury time equaliser we would be third after so many of us predicted we would be turd this season! 

It's a great start, no doubts. 

I can't shake the thought that a typical Mowbray death spiral is on the horizon.

So, it's difficult to get carried away with it.

Did the commentator just say TM is considering bringing an extra defender on again? Better fucking not be.

He'd better not go 5 at the back again 😤 

Lovely finish by Diaz

Oh and Ayala!

Nice one!

Butterworth actually willing to have a go.

Lovely to see.

Brighton lad inbound

As well as Butterworth!

Edit my bad.

Not heeded the warnings and Hull have the ball in the net, saved by the lino.

A Hull goal is coming.

Be honest now, did anyone else nod off.

I'm going to set an alarm half way through the second half in case I do it again.

The frustration/anger keeps me going.

It looked like Diaz was on the right, Clarkson through the middle towards the end.

More false 9 bollox?

It's a weak league overall, but it's likely a season of mid-table nothingness again.

A play off push should be possible, look at crap like Barnsley and Swansea last season.

We aren't scoring anywhere near enough goals for a play off push irrespective of who's in charge.

So when we had Armstrong, we passed it around, trying to have all the possession and now we've sold him, we are trying to play on the break with a guy upfront I could probably out pace.

Not signing a striker is looking like an absolutely horrific decision.

Anyone who doesn't think we'll be in a relegation battle only needs to watch this.

Not many tacklers in that team, or goal scorers.

Nope, not much of either.

Sky sports arena.

Oh, what's sky sports arena? Balls, thought it was on the red button.

An early season must win against a team that could be our relegation rivals come the end of the season.

I fully expect Gallagher to be shunted back out wide and Dolan/Buckley/Brighton winger to play through the middle.

Preston have signed Connor Wickham on a short term deal
