  1. Don't be such a bloody drama queen. I think we need a change of manager, and have done so since Mowbray oversaw our relegation to League One, and keep carrying on with Mowbray is akin to continually taking paracetamol for a headache that wont go away and a refusal to go to the doctors only to discover when it's too late that you have a terminal brain tumour.
  2. Think Neil will do a great job for Sunderland. Read somewhere he's taken 22 points from his first 11 games in charge. Would take him any day of the week over Mowbray. Others have posted on here that Rovers spoke with Neil last April about taking over.......Think You'll find in the fullness of time he came close to taking over from Mowbray. As for Bruce and break clause, I think you'll find I posted at the time of his appointment he'd be gone if WBA not promoted this season!
  3. Things will change when the fans vent their feelings about Mowbray and vote with their feet and cash. Think the supporters get the club they deserve. For goodness sake, put the man under pressure.
  4. Think you live in a fantasy world. Think Rovers are fecked which is due in no small part, IMO, to the gross mismanagement of Mowbray, Venus and Waggott.
  5. I hope we get spanked - anything to finish, IMO, the turgid tenure of Mowbray and Venus. Sadly, I expect Rovers to win to raise false hope and prolong the agony. Book your holidays because I think our season will end on Sat 7 May at Brum if not before.
  6. Dyche v Mowbray is a no brainer. Sadly, I think football boardrooms are littered with moronic and vacuous non entities not even capable of running a bath let alone a football club.
  7. Tosh!? IMO, next season will be a success if we stay out of the bottom three - I think that will be Mowbray's legacy. 8 to 10 signings is not evolution or strategic planning, it's either revolution or sheer desperation because you've fecked up so much! We stand to lose Nyambe, Lenihan, Hecke, Rothwell, Brereton. Imagine if Liverpool lost Alexander-Arnold, Van Dijk, Konate, Henderson and Salah. If that's a 'freshen up' then God knows what you are smoking. I think it will emerge in time how close Mowbray came to joining WBA in Feb.; I think the timing was all wrong and there were too many complications otherwise he wouldn't be here now. Many said at the time, Bruce had signed an 18 month contract - I think it will become clear there are break clauses and the only way Bruce would stay at WBA is if he got them up this season. I stand by that and would bet a small fortune on Mowbray rocking up at WBA in only a few weeks' time.
  8. No I feckin didn't. When the post was vacant, not once did I say we should appoint Coyle. Full stop.
  9. You don't half spout some shite. Not once did I promote Coyle for the manager's job at Rovers. Get your facts right before you have a pop at anyone.
  10. When the local press start getting a bit critical about Mowbray then you know his time is up. I always remember a home match in April last year when I thought both Bayes and Gallacher were unusually critical pre match - this was the time when speculation was rife that Mowbray was heading for the exit door. Now we have Sharpe calling out Mowbray: Mowbray’s comments of Peterborough ‘not threatening our goal for 80 minutes’ were disingenuous. Were it not for a fingertip Thomas Kaminski save, and poor finishes from Sam Szmodics and Kwame Poku, Posh could have had two or three goals in the first half. Make no mistake, if and when (and it looks almost certainly 'when') Mowbray leaves in the next few weeks, IMO, we will be left in a real 'Coyleyesque' mess. Our three best defenders all likely to be gone - Lenihan and Nyambe for feck all and Hecke back to Brighton. Rothwell almost certainly will be gone again for nowt. Brereton will look at what's left and, IMO, think feck this for a game of soldiers, I'm off. Whilst I think Dack is really struggling and may never get back to anywhere his best - if he does, I think he'll be another who's off. Khadra will go back to Brighton. Just where does that leave us? I think Mowbray's 5year+ journey will have taken us absolutely nowhere - even gone backwards. Some of us have never rated Mowbray and sadly, I think we will have been proven right. I've never bought the Mowbray line as a 'humble man of integrity'. IMO, Mowbray, Venus and Waggott will have almost ruined our club - I think at best it's incompetence on an industrial scale. I very much doubt that Jack Walker would have given any of those three the time of day.
  11. Maybe but it's the same for both sides!!! Think we get our fair rub of the green - Mowbray only vociferous on the ones we lose out on, never says we were a tad lucky there!
  12. Told Big Sam taking on Burnley job to end of season (and will be in stands at West Ham on Sunday) and then Rooney manager next season. Wouldn't Big Sam just love to rub Venky's face in it by keeping Burnley up!
  13. Today we are playing bottom of the league. There is not a feckin excuse available should we not win. Dack MUST start and pull him off when we are winning and have the upper hand. Rovers to win and comfortably to offer us all some hope - sadly, may well be false hope which will just prolong the agony.
  14. Amazed by sacking of Dyche at this stage in season. Arguably, he'd run his course - 10 years at one club is a long, long time and the place probably needs a new freshness, buzz etc. Venky's should break the bank to bring in Dyche. Fact he managed Burnley irrelevant. Only thing that matters is results. Just where the feck has Mowbray's 5year+ journey taken us and boy his tactics and football have been utterly turgid at times.
  15. Sharpe reporting Mowbray's involvement on the Poveda deal: Mowbray said he wasn’t involved in the deal for Poveda, who scored once in four starts and four substitute appearances in the first half of the season, but the specifics of it were likely agreed to get it over the line. He added: “I don’t do the deals, the deal was done and the deal is what it is. “It’s probably frustrating for the football club that we’ve been paying his salary for so long without having the player available. “That’s a resource, but that’s football and you take those chances. “You probably wouldn’t have been able to do the deal unless certain clauses were in it and you have to make those calls sometimes.” IMO, an abdication of responsibility - don't blame me!!!!!!!!!!!!! Just wtf is Mowbray there for as football manager. Surely, it's to advise those who do the deals (or seemingly have their pants taken down by other clubs) in terms of a half season's loan, a full season's loan, what the lad will bring to the club and therefore his value to the club and parameters as to remuneration, break clauses etc. IMO, another example that our football manager is not fit for purpose.
  16. Women's intuition! Interestingly though, I think many more women now have a bit more than a passing interest in horse racing due to the charismatic Rachael Blackmore who is, with Grand National / Cheltenham Gold Cup wins and six wins at Cheltenham last year, one remarkable woman.
  17. Snap so did my missus - mine just goes for the name! I will share in her happiness tonight - takeaway and wine is on her. Saying nowt about my bets.
  18. We don't fare well when we go a goal down, conversely, score first and we generally do okay.
  19. Game's over now. Just a question how many more we can notch.
  20. Indeed. Think Lenihan is the bigger risk - if that groin hasn't healed properly it's season finished for him. Think Mowbray has gambled here a bit as he knows our record without Lenihan.
  21. Point I'm trying to make is it should be about togetherness. Without exception, every single member of the 1st team squad should be at Ewood on match day. Please Ayala is there.
  22. Spot on. On match days at Ewood, every member of the first team squad including those outside the 18 named squad should be there watching and supporting. Be interesting if anyone can spot Ayala!?!?
  23. If that team can't see off Blackpool then we might as well give up on the season now. No ifs, buts, blaming the ref etc, we MUST win. No feckin excuses Mowbray.
  24. There are two available licences to print money today, Rovers and Minella Times in the Grand National. Bookies fancy Rovers strongly and I've a gut feeling we'll win. This Mowbray 'death spiral' has to come to an end sometime and I'm not sure just how much Blackpool will have left in the tank after their midweek 'Burnley' derby. 3-1 to Rovers with 2 to Brereton and 1 to Dack. As for the Grand National, Rachael Blackmoor is just superb and shows the men just how it should be done (have we no strikers in the Ladies' team Mowbray?) and made me a fair bob or two with her stunning Cheltenham Gold Cup win - today, I expect much the same and at 9/1 I'd go big each way.
