I think that the very act of giving back word to Warnock and Jepson, in order to install Coyle actually typifies the Venky's dire model. The claim had been made that promotion was not possible under Warnock. I posted 'IF' ..... What you say is quite correct and by definition so is what Gav posted. Again. I posted 'IF' .... example : IF only Warnock had been with Agent kickback we would have been promoted. Quote

Sparks Rover Posted January 21, 2021 Posted January 21, 2021 3 hours ago, Hoochie Bloochie Mama said: Absolutely a loan spell. I think the fact he hasn't been out tells it's own story. He's hardly pulling up trees here to warrant him stopping around, so why hasn't he ever been on loan. Simple, lower league managers need loans to do a specific job. Buckley offers nothing to nobody down there like a Wharton or Magliore, etc...believe me, them lads in league 1 and 2 are desperate for quality. Buckley just isn't on their list. Mowbray needs to do more for the lad to get him regular football...he needs to develop but it's not here. Quote

That's the camp I'm in. A decent track record in terms of promotions 'Colin' certainly has. If I gave him a tenner to buy something for me for £8.99, he'd give me no change and tell me that it really cost a score! Edited January 21, 2021 by darrenrover Quote

I’m going to create a John Buckley thread for you all to go nuts in. The end. Yea but John Bu... 😂 Steering the topic back on thread:. Time is running out for Tony. I said earlier this season that we need to see a proper improvement in final position and I just can’t see us ever breaking the consistency barrier to achieve it. That said, the change for me comes when it’s mathematically certain / the summer. I certainly wouldn’t have any negative or bad memories towards TM for his job done, I’m sure even he would agree that a step backwards this season, regardless of injuries or pandemic issues, is simply not good enough. I don’t “get” the reactive stuff to his interviews, I am however increasingly concerned by his body language next to the pitch - but I guess this may be a sign his frustration echoes our own. Faith in those behind the scenes to make positive proactive decisions is obviously a concern, out of interest; does anyone know when Tony’s contract runs out? Quote

He wants to sit in his armchair and watch them on match of the day The fans demand results, but hopefully they can see we are on a journey Fans of a certain vintage remember Shearer and Sutton, he remembers Ripley and Sherwood There is no pleasing some of those fans Its important we all stick together People on social media these days always talk about how he’s picked the wrong team or made the wrong subs Talk moves to Venky’s... when they came in we were comfortably top half of the Prem with Big Sam, when he took over we were 15 games away from league one The owners are humble, honest and full of integrity They run very different businesses and wouldn’t profess to be football experts He’s been to see them four or 5 times They understand we are on a journey They understand we have no centre halves and Bradley Johnson - a midfield player has had to play there They understand we had no right backs and a left back had to play there Hopefully we can get a solid defence and finish the season strongly Edited January 21, 2021 by Miller11 Forgot the bit about the Covid tests 2 Quote
roversfan99 Posted January 21, 2021 Posted January 21, 2021 Didnt we win the only game in which a left back played at right back which was one of 2 games in which Johnson played in defence? Quote

IMO, usual self preservation bullsh1t to keep our owners and happy clappers naively happy. Armstrong is 24 in 3 weeks times - FFS Mowbray, HE IS NOT A YOUNG BOY. You look at many players of 24 or under and see what they've achieved in terms of club, appearances, goals, medals and international caps. Yep, he wants a strong finish to the season as, IMO, it gives him another season and on and aimlessly on we will go. IMO, Mowbray is a clown and we need him out now. 9 Quote

Every one of his points is actually a backhanded criticism of himself or a lie! No defenders - his fault for assembling the squad. Having to change the attitude - his fault for not doing after 4.5 years! Owners being good eggs, and no pleasing fans - pure lies. Journey - absolute lies. Journeys have progress and we aren't. Journeys don't take as long as this without tangible improvements. Honestly if anyone didn't want him gone before this then they should now. Lies and excuses that only highlight his ineptness. 2 Quote

Hoochie Bloochie Mama Posted January 21, 2021 Posted January 21, 2021 (edited) Lots of chat about developing footballers and the club now having assets. H quickly adds that he's also all about 'winning' as that is what Rovers fans demand. Thought it was interesting that that was an afterthought. He then talks about journeys and how social media gives a platform for people to criticise his team selections, tactics 'blah blah blah'. Bit touchy Tony! Fancy fans having an opinion. He then mentioned journeys again.... For an honest, humble, working-class lad (his words) he's massively full of himself. Edited January 21, 2021 by Hoochie Bloochie Mama 1 Quote

Mattyblue Posted January 21, 2021 Posted January 21, 2021 (edited) The club gets such an easy ride from local media (and the crowd most of the time) they are unsurprisingly in a bubble - when that bubble is pricked every now and then they don’t respond well. I.e last season when Sharpe was rounded upon by the players for being *slightly* critical of SG and when TM got arsey when the fans showed their displeasure in the Barnsley home game.
