Cardiff sack Mccarthy.  That will be another club taking a good manager.  If wilder goes there i will be furious.  Piss off venkys 

8th defeat, that's nothing. Try being a Rovers fan. How many was it last year when we slumped to 15th?

Daniel Farke will be sacked after today's defeat. Would have him at Rovers in a heartbeat

He has just signed a new long term contract there according to @DE.

There’s quite a few rumours on Twitter that TM will be gone by next international break. Was wondering if anyone on this forum had heard anything?

Find it so depressing when I can’t even get excited about a win due to a complete lack of faith in the manager. Change is needed!

People said same about Chris Houghton and he had a disaster. Not surprised about McCarthy, Cardiff were awful.

I can't find a single mention of him going by the next International break, and believe me I've been looking intently.

Don’t know what you’re seeing on Twitter but I’ve seen nothing of the sort. He’s here till May at least. If he gets a new contract I’ll top myself.

I think whether he stays or go will be conditional on his performance in the next 3 matches. 

There’s about 7-9 clubs vying for the last 2 playoff spots atm. We could easily find ourselves in one of those spots by the time the international break comes around. We’re facing bottom of the league Derby and an underperform Sheff Utd at home. 

It would be outrageous to sack him when we have the 4th best GD in the league and 1 point away from top 6.

“As I found out in the press conference on Friday, the questions start coming if you don’t win, there’s four you haven’t won in, and people aren’t bothered about the circumstances.. 

Tony tony tony, you won two in seventeen last yr and didn't get a raised eyebrow in your press conferences, let alone a difficult question. 

He's f%cking precious isn't he, another reason he couldn't cope at the top level.

Surely Venkys won't make a, on the face of it,  potentially incredibly positive decision to sack Mowbray and employ Wilder?

Don't think he'll go this season unless we're in imminent danger of going down.

SHOULD he be sacked tomorrow? Hell yeah.

That sounds like something Mercer would say despite the noticeable "imo" missing.

He isnt getting sacked imo

[arbitro]

He is as likely to get a new deal as get sacked. We have irrational, ignorant, illogical and unpredictable owners who don't have a clue.

It's more likely they would line up such a move and then pull the plug in favour of a cheaper, much worse option instead.

[matt83]

Id love to see that smoggy bozo sacked more than most but I’m just not buying this gone in November stuff. Doesn’t make any sense. If thinking of sacking him then now is the best time with better managers in McCarthy, Bruce and wilder available (I don’t see why we couldn’t get any of those as they’re not getting prem jobs any time soon). If wait for a random international break in November who’s to say anyone will be available then.

Plus from the owners point of view they were happy bumbling around lower mid table last season and the 2 seasons before that, and we’re bumbling around mid table now. We’ve gone on worse death spirals in ever other season than what we’ve managed this season. Compensation isn’t going to change one iota from now to next month. So what’s changed to make them want to sack him now.

My prediction is we’ll bumble to another boring pointless lower mid table finish. His contract will run down to a few weeks left then they’ll think who cares give him another one.

Like I say I don't think either will happen unless we're in imminent danger of going down.

Would that be my personal choice? No but there you are. 

By the end of the season Mowbray will most likely have burnt his way through roughly £100 m of Venky's money to not even finish in the play offs once.

If people think that's an acceptable return, and seemingly some on here think it is, I despair.

We all have our opinions on Mowbray. Yesterday he picked a formation that's suits the 11 he picked. Where against QPR he tried to be too clever tactical instead of keeping it simple. 

Mowbray need to keep it simple and not look to over complicated the tactics or team selection. But we know he won't do this. 

We can make playoffs this season and add a couple of quality signings in January..

Bruce will want a break and unlikely to return to football management anytime soon after his Newcastle experience 

Why McCarthy? Just sacked by Cardiff after 8 defeats and had no answers to stop the rot. No Plan B. 

If we are replacing Mowbray surely we need a manager who is on the up with fresh ideas, tactical aware, Motivator, etc

Because he’s an improvement on Mowbray. Will people be running down to ewood because of him no but is he better than 100% yes. He may not have a plan B but moggadon doesn’t even have a plan A after 5 years.

And yet our owners clearly think it is if they keep him until the end of the season.

He seen Plan A yesterday in 4-3-3. 

McCarthy isn't any improvement on Mowbray. He is yesterday man. 

Didn't we hammered his Cardiff team 5-1 recently? McCarthy had no idea how to stop us. 

[Tyrone Shoelaces]

I think McCarthy has had his day. There must be better options out there.
