I know but once you add the snow balling of Venkys.

The snow ball wasn’t racist either.

All they had to do was sack Kean while we were in the PL and all would have been well.

10 Years ago Venkys were talking about qualifying for the Champions League.

Today they are allowing the manager to talk about being 4-5 years behind Brentford.

It's maddening really. 

I'm not sure you have used the right adjective, I'm thinking something stronger.

Adds to Darren Lewis' theory that Ince got canned because we are racist

Funny how Rovers were the first English club to appoint a black British top flight manager (a decision that had nothing to do with race). Not a mention. But when we sacked him it was racist (also a decision that had nothing to do with race). Lazy journalism by the gutter press.

No, absolutely, he was just a shit manager!

It was a rare fuck up by Williams et al which they rectified and a tad slowly I might add.

Is Mowbray still employed?!

Sadly, he hasn't told me otherwise.

Was it Darren Lewis? I thought it was Oliver Holt?

I thought it was Andy dunn of the mirror!! Whoever it was was a complete and utter moron to suggest it. We gave him plenty of time, too much in my opinion, and he had to go. How Ince must wish the Venkys owned the club during his tenure. He'd probably still be here now! 

[roverandout]

Confirmed wilder is leaving. Please do some good and get him in venkys

Bristol City and Norwich up next. Can't see anything out of these 2 fixtures. Wycombe after that is an absolute must win. Mowbray will still be in a job and we'll miss the boat on Wilder. Meanwhile wouldn't be surprised to see brum fire karanka this week and make a move for him. 

Preston will get rid of Neil before we fire Mowbray.

Just think that one through for an illustration of how dysfunctional this club is.

Neil has had a fraction of Mowbray's resources, at a smaller club with lower requirements, and had them top of the league last season before West Brom tried approaching him. They're supposedly having a bad season yet are level with us. 

These clubs are going to be ahead of us in getting new managers and getting themselves sorted for next season.

We will end up keeping Mowbray because we can't be bothered or don't have the skill set to find a new manager and won't have enough time with the squad set for demolition in the summer.

[Mattyblue]

‘Tony you talk about how it is a 5 year journey to just get close to Brentford. So how do you explain Barnsley?’

Andy, Rich, what you reckon? Nah didn’t think so.

[tomphil]

9 years ago we were in the Prem then we dropped with 4 years parachute money. Since then we've been bang in the middle of the champ barring 1 season in league 1.

How the feck can we be 4 or 5 years behind Brentford ?   He was saying similar about Preston not long ago when they beat us and finished above us x2.

Add in Bowyer turned a couple of million quids worth of signings into 20+ mill. We spent 8 on a striker before that and he himself has spent 15 million on 3 forwards.

The man is quite simply full of shit but the crafty old sod knows the owners and some of our fans are thick as shit as well.

I would say most fans

We're officially the worst team in the league over the last ten games. 1 win, 5 points and 8 goals scored. 

He'd be sacked at a normal club, especially where the target was challenging for the Top 6.

Was just looking at that. Brum are 19th in that 10-game-form table and have just sacked Karanka.

People are still defending him though. “Form table is meaningless, it’s about points  already won.”

Some truth in that but it does beg the question: how bad does it have to get?

The statisticians and drone flyers have other roles depicted within their job specifications, do I really need to spell it out any further where some influence on social media comes from?!

Didn't know Karanka had been sacked. He's been under pressure for months but still got 3 more points than Mowbray in the last 10 games. 

And as for points already gained, it's a fairly meaningless argument when Mowbray is going to finish miles from his self-acknowledged target of top 6. 

Looking at the fixtures our next 5 games are Bristol C, Norwich, Wycombe. B'mouth and Cardiff.

I wonder if 1 win in 15 games is enough to get him the sack? I have my doubts.

I just got a notification about a Rich Sharpe tweet. Its the hope that kills you

It’s hard to say what would get him the sack. If Jack had have been here he would have been gone about 2 years ago.

[Lucimo]

Apparently Brum are looking at Pulis till the end of the season. 

[tomphil]

Jacket sacked by Pompey, the manager grab is well underway now. Clubs getting it done and getting prepped for next season already in some cases.

Judging by a lot of Pompey comments it's a similar situ to here, nice guy, gentleman, tried his best. Need fresh blood and new ideas etc.  Players tweeting thanks gaffer always an honest guy and all that.

It needn't be a sour parting of the ways but when the time comes it has to be done. If it's done properly then it's a hell of a lot easier on everyone even if they don't agree with it.

Here though it has to be left so long it festers bad then ends up turning into a witch hunt. Turning fan against fan and the media onto the fans and all the rest. If it was politics you'd say it's being done on purpose to be as divisive as possble.

Another unwanted symptom of the venky era.
