[Archived] Bowyer Most Likely Not Sacked

[Stand & Deliver]

Just waiting for a win to announce Mrs D has given him a 24 Transfer window contract

Has she been advised off Parson & Chaddy?

[RibbleValleyRover]

It'll end up being a Steve keen situation

The unsackable manager v2, befriend the owners and they won't sack you. Fans or what's left of them on match days will turn on Bowyer eventually if results continue to be bad, doesn't matter that he has been a long servant at the club they will be calling for his head. Might not make any difference mind, Venky's are the ones that have to sack him.

Kean set a precedent here, a way to power and holding on to it. A modern day 'If Kean could do it, why can't I?'.

That performance gives the impression GB hasn't even any professional pride.

I won't talk about him tactically, because he's an absolute embarrassment.

[Proudtobeblue&white]

I'd like to think in a normal world Loons would see what happens tomorrow, see where we are and then try and appoint a manager commensurate with their ambition to go back to the promised land. No chance.

All managers are all about 'positives' these days, how often do you see them really lay into their players publicly after a poor performance? Bowyer actually might care but he's not going to voice it publicly, though I know nothing of the guy really.

Don't really care about his public persona, he can smile all he wants and come out with his BS. All that matters are results and he's failing spectacularly which is largely his fault.

[JBiz]

It's never healthy to have a manager who isn't under pressure to win football matches.

It's also unheard of outside of Blackburn.

Bolton? Don't see any pressure on Lennon...

Oh, but he has "reasons" not "excuses"...

[Mani]

No established pattern of play, tactically poor and underachieving.

Time to go Gaz.

[Stuart]

Please don't compare Rovers to Bolton. They've always tried to bring in credible managers and when they have failed they've paid the price.

Also don't waste your bandwidth by being obtuse just to try to provide 'balance'. One, it comes off as desperate and, two, I'm off to bed.

They've not paid a transfer fee for anyone in two years or so.

Guess they have it easier than Uncle Gary.

[West Yorks Rover]

Just read the report of the game in the Guardian, they reckon the owners are drawing up a list of potential replacements.

Bowyer under pressure after poor performance, players left the field to a crescendo of boos, amongst other comments.

[RevidgeBlue]

I posed the question after the Wolves game "Who are we going to be good enough to beat this season under this manager"

Not Wolves, Shrewsbury, Huddersfield, Cardiff Brighton or Bolton. I honestly think we'll still be waiting by Christmas if he stays in charge.

Oddly despite no win in 6 and not being in front for a single minute in that time GB seemed to be laughing and joking at the final whistle. He also seemed completely unconcerned when interviewed briefly after on TV. Doesn't come across as a man under any pressure whatsoever unless he is angling to get himself removed and earn a pay off.

Acts like he could not care less. For a man who's supposed to bleed blue and white he certainly doesn't seem bothered by anything that's happening.

You could be right there Rev, he must surely know he's not up to the job.

[RibbleValleyRover]

A one year rolling contract won't pay that much, well it could be a lot worse if he was on a 3-4 year deal. It won't be the financial cost of getting rid that is staying Venky's hand.

[Gav]

I still can't bring myself to target Bowyer, yes he's out of his depth, the sides going backwards but that's not his fault.

I've got every chance of taking over from Bowyer, so has anyone else on this site because the owners are clueless.

They're the real problem, until they leave we're going nowhere.

[ABBEY]

I know pal but he's a problem at ground level . Stands there motionless hands in pockets . Pathetic leadership skills .

Are you comparing GB to Lennon?

[RevidgeBlue]

Are you comparing GB to Lennon?

To be honest Lennon didn't look well at all tonight. Looked like he'd just been on a week long bender.

It's irrelevant what other Clubs do though, we can only worry a out ourselves.

[A cup of beans]

The crowd singing "Uncle Jacks army" songs Is a further slap in the face for Bowyer.

Can't remember the last time his name was chanted.

Shows exactly how the 13000 inside Ewood feel about the manager.

If he had any ferverent support, a few songs and chants would slip out.

Did Lennon get sent off after the final whistle?

On leaving the ground, there was a huge comotion, and boos.

I'm infuriated that home boos are drowned put purposefully.

[Tom]

I've heard people say it was a mix of uncle jacks barmy army and Gary Bowyers blue and white army but I only heard uncle jack.

In fact I can't remember when I last heard Gary Bowyers name sung

[ABBEY]

There was no Gary chants audible

[Tom]

I certainly didn't hear them, uncle jacks barmy army was loud and clear for a good ten minutes - great to hear

Not aware that Lennon was sent off but there was a decision in the wnd half that Imo went the wrong way and Lennon apparently kicked over the soft drinks crate in the technical area.

[chaddyrovers]

I heard some ppl doing Gary Bowyer's barmy army chant but Uncle Jack barmy army was loud and clear.

Some ppl were signing
