  1. Would there? I think you overstate how much the general media would care.
  2. I dont get how literal you are being. There are 6 games to go, i would consider a top 6 place to be very much unlikely. Are you just not watching anymore this season? Would that change if we did make the play offs? Firstly, this idea that Mowbray doesnt care is quite frankly a load of bollocks. Mowbray was fuming blaming the referee (not justifiably necessarily) while the players had initially turned the game round and looked devastated at full time. Its not something that people need to make up either considering the various constructive technical criticisms that can go his way. You speak as if its in the Kean days where we were full of big name egos that didnt care, its not like that. We are full of young players many of whom arent anything special by any means, and a group that doesnt seem to be able to handle the mental strain of a promotion push, they look overawed. This idea that he has sole responsibility for the potential squad he will leave is flawed too. We will always have gaps left every year with departing loans because finances dictate that we have to heavily utilise that market. Mowbray raised an 8 figure profit last summer on one of his signings and received nothing to reinvest. He also had a sale of an out of contracter lined up with 2 potential assets coming in blocked by the owners, so like any Rovers manager, he has his hands tied somewhat. Again I would state that on the almost certain assumption that we dont make the play offs, we need to change the mamager. The last 3 months have been shocking and there are things even today I look at and shake my head. But does he give a shit? Yes. Is there a need to manipulate every word he says? No. Is he the second coming of the devil? No. Is he the worst pound for pound manager in 50 years? No. Is he on par with Coyle and Kean? No. Some of the shite on here in recent weeks has been laughable.
  3. Injury time was littered with our players lying down claiming to be injured and also with a pitch invader. Soon into injury time the time remaining was very difficult to keep up with.
  4. How bad is Jadon Sancho? 80/90m for a winger who is slow, out of shape, cant beat a man, cant shoot, cant cross and cant dribble.
  5. He went off for a bit and didnt come straight back on, was stretching on the side and I expected us to have to finish with 10. To be fair, whilst the need to make subs early is not a good thing. Even had we made no subs at HT, by the time Nyambe got injured, the 3 subs would almost certainly have been made anyway.
  6. By the way, has anything at all come from those cryptic meetings that you couldnt say anything more about at the time but that made you optimistic that Venkys were about to actually run thr club properly? You would think that to make you genuinely optimistic, they would at least have sacked the worst pound for pound manager in 50 years by now? Was it a false dawn?
  7. Its not defending him to find such a stupid statement to be laughable. For some reason, Mowbray's budget is based on the losses in the accounts, yet previous managers have had buttons whereby the wages presumably arent factored in.
  8. "Pound for pound Mowbray is the worst manager we've ever had in my 50 and a bit years of watching the Club for me." Definitely up there with the most laughable posts ever seen on here.
  9. Absolutely embarassing, I haven't got a clue how Mowbray managed to get this bunch of no-hopers into 2nd in the first place, albeit he is accelerating that fall as quickly as anyone. Need a change next season and a revamp which wont come. @chaddyrovers Gallagher is a waste of space no matter where he plays. Free shot central of goal, couldn't have hit it any weaker. Can't hold it up, win flick ons, bring others into play, the man is absolute shit and needs to find a new job. Giles is pitiful, every cross hitting the first man. We could have tricked someone into buying Rothwell, but Venkys are wankers. Buckley has been shit again too. Remember in the summer when the Analytics people were saying how great Pickering is going forward with his progressive runs etc, that turned out to be a load of bollocks. Rankin Costello is a liability too.
  10. Gallagher is probably better in an office or something. Striker, winger, wide forward, he's just not a footballer.
  11. Mowbray has been able to invest 80-90m apparently.
  12. 3 x 5 nil wins in a row at a World Cup. Bound to happen.
  13. Ignoring this agenda driven drivel that implies that when we do well, its nothing to do with the manager. We have probably had slightly more possession statistically in recent weeks, Mowbray said as much that teams had started to play differently against us to prevent us hitting them on the counter attack. But its nothing like last season when we had a gameplan to try and dominate games via possession, playing it across the back, side to side, wearing teams down. We are not trying to do that again.
  14. "Arrogant attitude about his own tactical prowess" in relation to him apparently going back to possession football, again a load of shite. I have certainly not seen a switch to a possession based game. We still usually have less of the ball, even with teams figuring us out and trying to give us the ball to reduce our threat in transition. Lets stick to tactical things that actually have happened.
  15. You like many are going through every interview with a fine toothcomb to look for any sentence that in your mind strengthens this view that hes simply trying to pull the wool over peoples eyes.
  16. The same owners that have prevented us from moving forward in 11 years will still be here in the summer. Obsession with picking apart the managers pre match interviews are still a pathetic load of bollocks. I heard his interview on the official site, he was on about the players finishing the season and making it one to remember for the rest of their lifes. He was also discussing how we could get the necessary points to achieve that. Does that fit the narrative that he is fed up beyond caring? Maybe not.
  17. There is no justification for owners removing the autonomy of the manager on transfers. End of. Especially when you try and justify it by ignoring the successful transfers overseen and assume that only poor ones would come in.
  18. We cant change anything, the manager, the tactics, the subs, the transfers, nothing. What sort of backwards logic is it that we cant change it therefore we should accept it and never mention it? Why have the messageboard at all? It will keep holding us back and as long as it does ill keep moaning about it as will many others.
  19. Venkys are never in a rush. They dont give a shit. In the summer when I moan that other teams are gaining an advantage on us as we wait for Venkys to allow whoever to fly over and have a few hours of their precious time, you will overpower everyone on here saying how "thats just how they work" as if that token line in anyway justifies that way or indeed makes its seem reasonable. Same every summer.
  20. Mowbray said yes to the first 2, Deyo is a no, Brereton not back until tonight, maybe on the bench.
  21. Why would they hand out token caps if they didnt think a player was capable? The issue with international football, he can make himself unavailable if he doesnt like it.
  22. Why does every share allotment make Mowbray a very lucky man? Makes no sense. That wont ever be seen by him, its merely Venkys raising funds to cover expenses outweighing income, moreso than need be due to themselves, but something that most/all Championship clubs need to do.
