Why can't we express the negatives when the appointment is made? I'm really not following this at all!

Of course I want him to do well, and I'm really pleased it's not TM in the driver's seat and it's not a terrible appointment. But it doesn't make it a choice without issues and think it's fair to share these when analysing the new appointment. 

And if we should be deliriously happy Venkys haven't appointed an absolute stinker- that in itself shows what a dark place the club is in and how low our standards have fallen. To just be pleased it's not a total arse up. Goodness, this lot - Venkys to be clear - need to go and soon. 

I have an opinion that Mowbray dumbed down the fan base so much, was so dour and downbeat that we now dont know a good thing when we see it,  JDT has won more than Mowbray could ever dream of, oh and as for managerial experience have we forgotten the derby debacle, that was fantastic management from Mowbray/Venus false 9 bollocks.

Regarding own goals, there aren't many of us left who remember Mike Harrison on the edge of our own penalty area looking to pass the ball to a team mate upfield and deciding to pass back to Fred Else on his goal line. Else meanwhile had come out close to Harrison to collect the ball. Both players stood spellbound as the ball rolled slowly towards the Rovers empty net. We on the Blackburn End were trying to will the ball to stop. Some were even blowing to try and stop it. There had been no pressure whatsoever from the opposition.

The most spectacular own goal was Keith Newton when playing right full back for Burnley. What a fabulous sight.

what about Stuart Metcalf a 25yarder as I remember after he had done his Zebedee  bit.🤣

I agree, but i didn't mean move on from his situation, i just meant we move on, you never know we might find an Ayala that isn't afraid of the cold.

Doubt he'll be doubling his wages but he'll probably have a nice signing on fee.

Second point i agree nobody is bigger than the club but the timing and nature of some departures can be damaging and doesn't reflect well.  Hell some over 60s still harp on about Derek bloody Dougan.

My original point still stands those rumours came out a good while ago before interest in the players became public.  There's nothing to move on from we know the previous regime had shithouses in it once they knew their time was up.

Yes i agree, but i meant move on from lenihan not what's been going on, you never know we might get an Ayala type that isn't afraid of the cold.🤤🤤

Funny how these two who were allegedly advised to get more money elsewhere look set to sign for 2 of Mowbray and Venus ex clubs.

Boro hardly a mega move, probably doubled his money. Move on,  Rovers bigger than players who want to leave.

Doesn't fall under his remit. I hope he’s fantastic but the jump from marketing manager to head of marketing is HUGE.

Good grief, talk about cup half empty, for Christ's sake give the new guys a chance, why question abilities if you don't know what their abilities are. not aimed at you J B  but in general, all I see is some negativity.

Not seen this elsewhere, but we have a new Head Marketing, Fraser Read, on his way from Bournemouth.

Waggott working overtime eh.

Change the headline to Bradley Orr podcast, should get lots more interest.

Nzonzi.

He was a disgrace in that Swansea game. I remember being left fuming at his display that day. The number of times he lost the ball and then petulantly threw his arms up in the air and then just ambled back. Not even jog back. It was a terrible attitude in a game we needed to win.

I'm sure it's Nzonzi he is talking about there.

I think he mentioned Nzonzi right at the end of the vlog (closing credits) gives me a  totally different opinion of Bradley Orr, played when injured when others tossed it off, good footballer or not at least he tried. Would love to know who in that relegation team gave up as he mentioned there were a few who just gave up, I'm sure some of our esteemed well known supporters on here may know but for whatever reason dont spill the beans.

If the owners are due to speak with Mowbray this week - as he himself implied - then I wouldn't expect an announcement until afterwards.

What the announcement will be, is anyone's guess. I fear the worst.

Ill sit on my season ticket renewal until its definite hes gone. (Mowbray that is)

Listening to Mowbray this week, it seems to me it's all about him, mind you Andy Bayes never asked about the dreadful run since we were 2nd in the table that would never do would it. If he had said yep I made some team selection errors fine but no not Tony, always something else like its a young team, they are learning blah blah blah, Must be different for Luton, Huddersfield and the like.

New young manager in touch with the fan base, they need a couple of good forwards and momentum could get them up there next season.....there is a bit of feel good from what I gather down nobberdale.

Yet many clappers on here want to stick with this old fart who has nothing but contempt for the fan base.

Really simple for me, if Mowbray stays I will NOT RENEW, if the local cat is the new manager I'm in.

You cannot absolve the players of any of the responsible of this current form and They need fair share of the blame. Where is the passion from the players in recent games cos I have seen none. It is simple not good enough and the last 2 games have felt like pre-season games at times. 

Depend on that club and who it is. 

I can't see Venkys letting Mowbray go to India at all. Mowbray has been very clearly that no contract talks have taken place and given that Pasha is here. If we don't go up then I don't see any new contract for him. Mowbray and the players have not been good enough over the season and the last 3 months form has been utter and totally disappointment and I am still annoyed/angry right now cos I know we have blow out bet chance of going up in years. Mowbray has not been good enough and we need a new man in the 1st team managerial seat for next season. 

Ahh we missed Mowbray's plan, you see the venky's offered £750k to the payers if we won promotion, but Wiley old tony will say look I saved you that promotion money so where's my new contract. Would be sad if true but you never know

I’m guessing he’ll omit to mention we will need to buy half a squad in order to avoid a relegation scrap, never mind promotion.

And lose quite a few season ticket holders like me

He does give a shit, but only to deflect any inadequacy in himself as he's thinking of the next place he'll steal a living from.

Mowbray will not walk, he has the skin of a Rhino, only he is right in his own head, his coaching team are as bad, i only hope on Monday there is a better team selection or Mowbray will get pelters from the fans, and i'll be one of them.

Awful today.Rothwell should be out of the starting 11 next week, going through the motions

Along with others but he was abysmal today, Van heck well under par Pickering dreadful, Nyambe not used, Dolan -- did he do anything today, all in all a shocking display. this is not a team that wants to finish top six, and if Gallagher gets MOM well that speaks volumes. Well naffed off tonight, Please Mowbray GO GO GO

I've put most of the blame on Mowbray in my post. But the owners could have provided him with a bigger budget, or could have made a change a few weeks ago, and did neither.

And IMO the reason Rothwell is still here is because they don't communicate with Mowbray and co. not because they insisted he was staying.

Maybe you are right but maybe Mowbray just didn't want to make a change, as for Joe it's well documented the Venkys wanted to keep the team together and lets not forget the Bonus the players would have  HAD if they won promotion, so I reckon there was communication and again Tony's playing a blinder.
