I have previously posted this - I understand it was Wilder but he thought there would be bigger fish in the sea.

Some six weeks ago after the Bournemouth defeat, I would have put big, big money on Mowbray being the next Championship manager to leave if there'd been a market. I also think for some time after that defeat, Mowbray half expected to be sacked - IMO, his behaviour and demeanour told a story. I think a new, and recent, surrealism has pervaded the club. I don't think we have been a 'normal' football club since ownership changed and I think recently we have deviated even further away from the 'norm'. I think there will be big changes at the club this summer and I would rule nothing out. I will only put my head above the parapet about specifics if I think there is a high degree of certainty it will happen. @oldjamfan1and @Paul Maniwhat's your take on the situation.

And how many things have I flagged that did happen! Two examples of 'bigger' things that readily come to mind that LT and Radio Lancs didn't have a sniff of: Posted on here that deal with Huddersfield done for Rhodes hours before any media knew (came from Huddersfield end) Posted on here Venky's been approached to sell part of / interest in Rovers and then reported a couple of days later in LT that Battersby and co were behind Venky's approach And there have been many others though perhaps not as 'big' as the above. I don't need to justify myself to anyone and frankly I'm getting a bit p1ssed off with snide comments from likes of yourself. What the feck have you ever brought to the table on this MB? Simple answer is I'll stop posting and sharing stuff that comes my way.

Funny isn't it how I posted a few weeks ago that the 'whole thing' had got bigger and more complicated only for Rovers to announce a couple of days later the Brockhall plan was off! Anyhow I don't give a flying feck what you think.

I would love to know how Waggott and Mowbray initially 'spun' the proposal to Venky's. I understand Venky's kiboshed the whole thing in the end.

Nail on head. Personally, I have zero trust in either Waggott or Mowbray. I think Waggott showed his colours a long time ago when he 'represented' Andy Cole in his move to Newcastle and seemingly pocketed Cole's £30k signing on fee. I would love the two of them to debate that one in a telephone box!

Think you are wrong. Can't stand the bloke - never been a fan but, IMO, his excuses, bullsh1t, demeanour and unwillingness to take any responsibility etc have alienated many. I think he is taking the p1ss and has been doing so for some time now. A humble, working, man of integrity with Rovers at heart - my arse!

Ole should be blaming the d1ckheads who stopped the match against Liverpool going ahead. I have no sympathy with United and hope they lose every feckin remaining game this season.

IF Mowbray is still here when the season starts, I think thousands will turn their backs on Rovers. IMO, Mowbray's toxicity is not dissimilar to that of Kean and Coyle. It's all very sad and I think Waggott and co, just like Labour have with its historic voter base, have made the mistake of taking the Rovers fans for granted and for too long. Most us us have minds of our own and can see through, IMO, the bile and bullsh1t emanating from Waggott and Mowbray. I think the club's heartbeat has been stifled and we are dying on our feet.

Nationalities don't matter. Money and philosophies are universal - and that is based upon personal experience!

We are in peril!!! We have cost them close on £200million - not met anyone in any walk of life who is 'relaxed'/'happy' about losing money. There will come a time when they say enough is enough - sadly, when that happens, it will be curtains for Rovers.

They've seen almost £200million 'disappear' in some 10 years. In decades of involvement in business / commerce, I have never seen folk sit back, do nothing and watch more money disappear down a plug hole. A tipping point will come. I think this will be their last roll of the dice to try and retrieve the situation otherwise it might well be curtains for Rovers. To try and retrieve the situation they now HAVE to be radical - shuffling the deck chairs will no longer suffice.

I'm with @Paul Mani on this one. I think the V's know they have to get the next set of managerial appointments right - quite possibly their last roll of the dice and hence the time being taken and what some folk might construe as an unnecessary delay or even evidence of maintaining the status quo. I posted about a month ago, just days before Brockhall 'cessation' announcement, that I understood the whole thing had got bigger and more complicated. If I'm correct, I think one hand might not be enough to count the departures from Ewood.

You miss the point. Mowbray bangs on and on and on about possession - IMO, just trying to buy himself more time. Last night, Real Madrid had close on 70% possession and got a hammering - a 5-0 scoreline would not have flattered Chelsea. Real Madrid were a more expensive version of Rovers, disorganised, couldn't defend, slow, boring and tiresome possession getting them nowhere and little creativity. Tuchel has been at Chelsea for about 20 games, not over 4 years! Yet Chelsea are organised, have a plan and Tuchel gets the very best out of what he has got. Compare to Mowbray - I think we are disorganised, have no plan, can't defend and lack pace, power and skill. Good managers get results and quickly. Impact of Ismael at Barnsley and Tuchel at Chelsea has been incredible. None of this evolution, slow build cr@p that Mowbray bangs on about. Sadly, I think Mowbray is one big dud.

What we would give if Rovers could play like that. Organised, pace, power and terrific invention and skill. Loved it - what football should be.

Pointless having any choice unless you know what Venky's business plan / strategy is (assuming they have one)!? It would have to be horses for courses - for example Kenny only came here because he knew Jack would back him big time.

Don't think you've quite got that right! My recollection is that I posted in December (four months ago) that my relative with PNE connections was of the opinion Neil would be the next Rovers' manager.

Let's be clear - Neil would not be my choice. However, my relative does have a knack of coming up with information that proves to be correct and he has made me a bob or two on these type of things!!!

Relative of mine with PNE connections lumped on Ainsworth as soon as market for next PNE manager opened and stands to win close to £1k should it happen. Same relative who told me back in late December that Neil would be next Rovers' manager (as I posted back then) and he still thinks it will happen!

Night before a match and just a dozen or so posts - says it all about the apathy. Just who cares what happens in tomorrow's match. Could be more watching me barbecue tomorrow - succulent steaks, sizzling sausages and 'magic' mushrooms all accompanied by a memorable Malbec (the Hermandad).

Rovers have big problem with Armstrong. Just one year left on contract and interested clubs, and I don't think there are many, know it - Newcastle also will be owed a big slug. IMO, wont be a first choice for too many out there. I'll put my head on the block and say he'll go for £15million or, more likely, less. Where is the market for a guy who, IMO, has decent pace but very limited football intelligence. Will be meat and drink for PL defenders. As for Assombalonga, wages way too much for us - dead in the water. More chance of Rhodes ending up back here (for love and not money!).

A favourite haunt of ours. Good grub, great ales and terrific views with Brockhall in sight! Hat trick of visits since re-opening!

You think what you want Gav. This is too sensitive and emotional to wind folk up. Not a drop passed my lips today - yet! It's a lovely day, off for a six miler followed by a bite and a pint or two in a beautiful setting not too far away from Brockhall. Just hope I don't bump into Mowbray!

Think @paulmani and @oldjamfan1could well be right and Mowbray is offski. Spoke this lunchtime with the guy who told me after the Bournemouth match that Mowbray would be gone within hours - he'd seen my post last night and told me 'all was still on', patience called for. Asked who he thought was next in line and how quickly he thought a new manager would be in place - would neither confirm nor deny Rovers had been turned down by a managerial target as that would be 'wild' speculation (think there might be a cryptic clue in there and I'd hazard a guess that Wilder was targeted but has bigger fish to fry). Was loathe to post this after what didn't happen almost three long weeks ago but maybe there remains a glimmer of hope for those who want Mowbray gone.

I think our owners are a problem - how many business folk out there spunk away some £20million a year whilst at the same time, IMO, sit idly by and watch their 'investment' go to rack and ruin. However, the club's most important senior managers (Waggott and Mowbray) are, IMO, two imbeciles who have been taking the p1ss out of the club and its fans for some time now. I could just about stomach indifferent ownership if I knew the operational senior management of Rovers had the best interests of the club at heart; IMO, Waggott and Mowbray fail miserably on this.
