Paul Senior appointed Tony and his body has never been found.

Did he really though ?   It's not what i heard but you never know.

I think his sole purpose was just deflection he was hired a bit like Singh to get rid of Coyle and maybe absorb the blame for not spending in that window. Just another Venky window dressing exercise, he got a few quid out of it and got his man Jao a gig for a bit.  Then his head rolled when the drop was confirmed.

More smoke and mirrors i'd be surprised if he had anything to do with appointing Mowbray imo he arrived via the usual avenues well away from Ewood. They'd have kept Senior around if TM had been his man, for a while at least.

I’m sorry Paul, but it really has bewildered me that running Blackburn Rovers sensibly has been made to look as arduous as sewing in sparring mitts, but that is how it has been presented throughout th

I certainly don't claim to be 'ITK' at all but shortly after the final whistle yesterday I received a text from someone extremely close to the club - not the playing or coaching side - who doesn't nor

I keep coming back in my head to just how ridiculous this whole scenario is. February 2017 - facing likely relegation they finally sack Owen Coyle - he should never have been allowed anywhere nea

Don’t think you read my post properly, where did I say go wanting the opposition to win, can let feelings know without losing. Think you read it how you wanted to react to be honest 

The logical extension of what you are saying is that by creating fan displeasure at the game creates a toxic atmosphere where players and management will feel inhibited  and be less likely to perform to their best. Thereby increasing the chance of defeat. An outcome you appear to accept.

Listening to his comments Mowbray will not be a burden to this club and he will leave if he feels he has lost the players and fans.

Venkys don't sack managers lightly.

Kean was safe and secure and was able to determine his own departure date whilst Singh got a lot of the media attention and flak for it.

Berg and Appleton weren't Venky appointments, didn't get chance to get their feet under the table and were removed by Singh/Agnew.

Bowyer was safe for over 2 years until someone decided that Pasha was going to take a hands on involvement in the operation and he got shut of Bowyer.

Lambert walked of his own accord.

Coyle lasted months and months through relegation form and it was only after mysterious Senior arrived that he was fired.

The head honchos in India don't get their hands dirty with such things. I doubt they even know where we are in the table and none of the minions are going to risk their own positions in suggesting the manager should be sacked.

Davies' agent went public that he wanted the job before Coyle got it. So I'm not sure he'd be against the idea although not sure if he's bothered about management now or what his situation is. As I say strange that a manager with his record has been unemployed for 5 years.

He has a reputation similar to that of George Burley, if you know what I mean?

I don't. What I do know from a PNE supporting mate of mine is that Davies should be nowhere near a football club.

As to Mowbray I think that he'll be here as long as he wants to be. If he does go who knows who Venkys will bring in. Probably not the next Mourinho. There are concerns about him. He hasn't figured out how to set up a defence which is weird for an ex defender. His teams don't seem fit enough, which is down to his staff. Do these warrant potting him? I'd say no. Yet as a club Rovers are a bit zombie like thanks to Venkys.

This site always leans toward the pessimistic. The majority wanted Allardyce gone so it's no surprise that the knives are out for Mowbray.

He's not a newbie manager, so if he hasn't worked out how to set up a defence by now, (which he hasn't), he never will.

The coaching staff working under him are his responsibility.

I agree that another poor appointment will almost certainly follow his eventual departure, so we're damned either way.

Yep, the dice should only be rolled in the worst case scenario when it's clear the manager is taking us backwards rather than forwards. Imo we've reached that point with TM and his safety blanket of they will appoint worse is deminishing by the day.

The following six games take us to Christmas. Two Q's to answer in your own opinion:

1) How many points do we get out of a possible 18?
2) Which game does Tony Mowbray last until?

Brentford (H) - 0pts
Stoke City (A) - 1pt
Derby County (H) - 3pts
Swansea City (A) - 0pts
Bristol City (A) - 0pts
Wigan Athletic (H) - 3pts

I've put my predictions alongside the fixtures.

7 points, possibly eight and Mowbray will be here until well into next season - or when his contract ends in 2022.

I felt he was very close to resigning on Saturday had the fans turned big style or we had lost.

He's not going to resign unless his position becomes untenable.

Got it correct tonight so he deserves credit and we can still salvage something from this season if he learns from it.

Will he ?  Unlikely but there is at least a chance to kick on a bit now.

We can't keep veering from "sack" to "stay" depending on individual results or even a run of 3 or 4.

Is he the man to take us forward to promotion? IMO he is not, therefore we should be planning accordingly.

We won't be, of course.
