Personally choosing to believe that Mowbray will be gone in a few weeks (delayed by Covid concerns in India pushing Rovers down Venkys priority list) and a new manager is waiting for the mutual consent announcement to spring into action.

Hopefully one of Wilder, Howe or Ainsworth, but would equally love a proper back to basics dinosaur like Hughesy (as long as it ain't bloody Pulis).

Hughes isn't a dinosaur. He was on the bleeding edge when he managed us.

Because if I choose to believe he's staying I'll start losing interest in the club.

Mowbray is going nowhere - either personally in terms of leaving Rovers or making a difference to the Club's status next season where survival in the Championship will be a miracle

He will, in the dugout from about mid October to mid March.  Signs of life either side of that as usual.

Mike's happy place!

Anybody else check this forum/twitter/ let a hundred times a day hoping for positive news. The thought of watching the slow ineffective boring football we witnessed 2nd half of last season fills me with dread. Was hoping by the time I took the kids back to Ewood that they wouldn't be traumatized and bored half to death. Sadly it's looking like Bulletproof Tony and the cronies will be here until the end.

We haven’t had much positive news as a Rovers fans over the last 10 years.

I wouldnt be getting your hopes up.

Like me you're full of hope. Rovers close season is exactly that and those making decisions are on the beach.

Howe won't come north.

Would have done that for Kean. I wouldn't recommend it 😂 definetely not in this instance 

[TheRoversReturn]

Optimists, get over it. It's getting embarrassing the way some of you are trying to decipher some shitty tweets. It's over...he'd have gone by now if he was leaving. We all know it deep down. Mowbray's here next season. You know it, I know it, we all know it. Twas ever thus. Don't torture yourselves. 

Oh...and do you know how many ITK posters there are on BRFCS.com? Nada. Zero. Zilch.

Why? Because Venky's Rovers ain't a normal club and never has been...

I'd beg to differ - we were a normal club when we had a conventional management set up, and a footballing side that punched above its weight, rather than this bunch of weirdos who consistently belie their status as professionals (and I include the management as well as the players in that).

We can (and should) be 'normal' again, but it is going to take the departure of the headless faceless chicken chokers to precipitate any major change from our 'new normal' (the backwards facing / upside down mentality that has ruined our club for many of us long suffering supporters).

Bring on the revolution!

Wasn't his point about the club never being normal since Venky's arrived?

That was evident from week one, when they sacked Sam and appointed Kean.

Yes, it was - I missed that in my haste to post something. I agree we've not been a normal club since the Venkmachine rolled into town, though you could argue that the rot had set in some considerable time before they rocked up. I mean, doesn't anyone else remember the dark noises coming from the Walker Trust about the sustainability of the model that Jack had implemented..sloping shoulders that lot!

When you look at Rovers’ retained list it fully illustrates Mowbray’s inability to plan , to think, to develop. I’m not sure where we on “ this journey “...but we are currently without leaders, without hungry young men, without players with the ability to play out from the back ( his idea of progress ) , without structure ....

...we continue to sink..and eagerly  wait for return of Ayala ...and maybe Bennett running the dressing room....so much to look forward to ....😳
