den Posted July 25, 2016 Posted July 25, 2016 You say its not about numbers he brought in then go on about how 34 players is 34 players I think Blackpool brought in 50 players in 2015 alone, doesn't mean Oyston supported his manager, quite the opposite actually. Bowyer did well here, had to sell his best players (Gestede, Ollson and Cairney) and mainly shopped in the bargain basement due to FFP, to claim he had 'tremendous backing' is quite simply bunkum He inherited a better squad than he left. The squad he left was terribly short of quality and terribly unbalanced. He was backed in the signing of Gestede. We were heading down the league towards relegation at a rapid rate of knots mainly due to us conceding two goals every game. And yes, he asked to sign a player on 34 occasions and was backed all the way Gav. He signed players simply because he could at times. He got lucky on the odd occasion, but many of those he signed simply weren't up to it. I don't know what else a championship manager could honestly ask for.

Amo Posted July 26, 2016 Posted July 26, 2016 "You either die a hero, or live long enough to see yourself become the villain." Always said that applied to Bowyer. He steadied the ship through some choppy waters but we were a rudderless mess by the time he was sacked. And he blotted his copybook towards the end with some veiled digs at the fans and obsequious comments about the owners. He was no longer 'one of us' and just another Venky stooge.
LewisF Posted July 26, 2016 Posted July 26, 2016 Yep the comment after the 2-0 win at Leeds about fans going back under their stones after the burnley game was out of order
Iceman Posted July 27, 2016 Posted July 27, 2016 Good photo of Rovers fans at Post: 23 Goals at Post: 30 Bowyer interview at Post 31. Weirdly called ''Blackburn Reacton: Gary Bowyer'' Its from the Tangerine TV. Ok I suppose it means the game v Rovers but reads odd. http://www.backhenrystreet.co.uk/thread-30212.html#.V5XwHhKDcVA The Rovers fans look so excited and happy to be there lol
