You would get any enjoyment out of random Man United fans taking an interest purely because we had Roy Keane as manager?

Things like that shouldnt be of any consideration, just like with someone like Gareth Ainsworth shouldnt be appointed or prioritised solely for being a Rovers fan. Although he would have more merit in general solely on the job he has done at Wycombe, whereas after Keane's initial success at Sunderland, it went downhill both there and his job at Ipswich was underwhelming. I am unsure if he has the ability to man manage modern day players personally.

And you dont need to offer an alternative, my point consistently is that it doesnt have to be someone from the same small pool of names, especially with the main experienced options being in employment at other clubs, and you dont need to necessarily have a suggestion of exactly who the potential new manager is, hence my examples of Ismael, Paunovic, Xisco, Farke and Frank as 5 names who nobody would have really heard of prior to their appointment, or indeed Cooper in the England youth setups.

Not random fans, a lot of my mates support United. Keane taking over would generate enormous interest here and elsewhere. I think it would be good. 

Or Keith Hill , who I also saw mentione Don here. I would say Ainsworth and Keane would both have strengths and weaknesses. Neither would be my first choice, unfortunately, they aren't available. 

I would like that too, but we have yet to make anything less than underwhelming managerial appointments since Big Sam was sacked. I highly doubt Waggott has started looking at such candidates or has instructed others to start. The .ore I think about it, the more I think it has Johnsons name all over it. I would prefer Keane over him. He could be his number 2!

I don't know as Keane would last past the first training session. Boy would I like to be a fly on the wall watching Keane's encounter with our good group of lads 'down the country club'. I'm sure I'd learn a whole bunch of words derived from the Irish gaelic. Would he bring his own hairdryers? Keane would certainly shake things up!

Now I would watch that on Netflix or Amazon prime 😂 

I would imagine there would be a more serious and results focused attitude from the players, at the start anyway! There is a high possibility he would fall out with some very quickly. The summer would be interesting. 

[Bigdoggsteel]

For some reason, I keep picturing Dack and Brereton messing together like kids and Keane walking in and scolding them while they stand with their heads bowed. 

Must be cos of those shocking roverstore videos they did together on YouTube 

[BRFC4EVA]

Please just resign with dignity. Has done a good job on the whole over the last 4 years and we have a really good squad. Need a fresh start with someone new, either an experienced type or Ainsworth. Not just because he's a Rovers fan but what he has done with Wycombe is remarkable

[davulsukur]

Congratulations Tony.

5 losses on the bounce. First time thats happened since the worst manager in our clubs history was in charge.

👏

I’m going to bed shortly if that smoggy idiot hadn’t been sacked by the time I wake up I’m done. 

[1864roverite]

There can be no more excuses he has to be sacked or he walks. It is clear the players have lost respect for him, too many are being played out of position, formation wise no one knows where the hell they are supposed to be and defensively we are absolutely terrible.

Thank you and good bye

Mowbray's aftermatch thoughts 'wibble wobble, wibble wobble'

 

[Tugay-is-God]

Wonder which Mowbray we'll get tonight, dejected or defiant? 

[booth]

Come on Tony, give us a break now this is dire and you know it. You can't organise the team, you've clearly forgotten everyone's best position and we're now down to 15th. Who knows where we'd be without that bright start.

Not to mention those flukey January wins! 

[Theaxe15]

Given the upcoming fixtures, if we don't beat Coventry and don't remove the manager, I think we're going down

[K-Hod]

We could be a lot better, especially if we played players in their correct positions.

But we don’t, so we aren’t. 

All of this is on the manager. It’s time that he cleared off, whether by walking away or being removed of his duties. I don’t care which at this point.

[tomphil]

Performance manager - lose 0-1, 1-2, 2-3 he's happy because they aren't wallopings and he can roll out some faux stats about touches in the box.

Development manager - lose but happy a few kids have got another few mins and Everton and City will send him some biscuits for playing their kids.

We can see what he's trying to do here, progress isn't it.

[Roverall]

I'm desperate. Can anyone see any positives at all about TM staying as manager for at least another 18 months?

If Mowbray doesn't walk, he and his mates have to be fired. I don't see us winning another game under Mowbray and co. Without fans around the ground, it's not possible to determine just how toxid things really are.

Bored of this now.

[Don Said]

Mentioned he doesn’t want to be a burden on the club in his post match presser.

Well Tony, I take no pleasure in saying it, but have I got news for you.

[roverandout]

Sounded like my mum when she was living with me. 'I don't want to be a burden on you son'....so I dumped her in an old folks home.

[A Northern Horde...]

In the name of God be gone TM!😭

Florence Nightingale, is that you?

[PeteJD13]

TM doesn't sound like a man who is walking anytime soon

[Hoochie Bloochie Mama]

Waggott's not going to sack his mate. And Venky's are fucking stupid.

Mowbray's staying. 

[davulsukur]

Depressing but not surprising that he's going no where.

Honestly, I don't believe he'll get us a win against Coventry.

Potentially could start to get dragged into it.
