Tony Mowbray Discussion

[SuperBrfc]

Have a listen to what Keegan says from 1:26 onwards. That's exactly the type of attitude I want to see from a Rovers manager. Mowbray is so far away from that kind of positive approach it's unreal. Bigging up average opposition every week just to cover himself. It gives players an excuse and puts doubts in their minds before a ball has even been kicked.

There are many things that wind me up about this lot. The defeatist, loser mentality is right up there as one of them. The fact he makes out as if he is some sort of football visionary is absolutely laughable.

Bristol City are an 'old fashioned' team according to Mowbray. He really does think he is some sort of modern day pioneer of the game in the same mould of Guardiola. He's utterly deluded I have seen anything since Mowbray turned up at Rovers that I hadn't seen before and I have also see a hell of a lot better stuff than anything he has ever produced.

Mowbray's signings:

Smallwood, Downing x 2, Johnson, Armstrong, Chapman, Dack, Samuel, Pears, Ayala, Douglas, Cunningham 

I don't think Mowbray Signings:

Brereton, Kaminski, Davenport, Rothwell, Braithwaite, Stergiakis, Harwood Bellis, Pickering, Adarabioyo, Dolan, Nuttall, Hart

Middle ground could be Mowbray but maybe not:

Gallagher, Holtby, Antonsson, Bell, Gladwin, Payne, Trybull

I'd say Rothwell was Mowbrays. Gallagher and Holtby too

Such a great character Keegan. I always remember the interview he gave when he resigned from the England job, took full responsibility for his failings and left with his honour in tact. No excuses. Cant remember a time where our Tony has taken any responsibility or blame since we’ve been on this bad run. If he’s still here next season I’m honestly not renewing my season ticket.

Gallagher was deffo his signing. Mowbray always wanted Gallagher to come back to Rovers. 

Rovers have scouting Pickering for 2 years according to local.media reports. 

Kaminski was scouted by our European scouting network for months. 

Mowbray wanted Gladwim and Bell before we got them. We wanted Rothwell during our league 1 season. 

Also question @JHRover, if they aren't Mowbray's signings then who.is signing them?

One thing you had to respect about Keegan is he was an all or nothing kind of guy. Driven by his emotions too much but if it was crap he'd say it was crap and when he knew the game was up he held his hand up and walked.

Football badly misses characters like him and their do or die style football.  We had some great set too's with Newcastle in his time there. They were always like cup semi finals no matter what league position.

Remember him going to to confront hundreds of angry Geordies on the steps at St James park when he was going to sell Cole ?   

Imagine someone having those kind of balls now, our fella hides at the back of the dugout in games when it ain't going well.

Mowbray Out!!!!!

"I believe that teams that dominate the possession, dominate the ball are the ones that get promoted"

Rovers - 74% possession in the last game

Also Rovers - 15th in the Championship 

[Bigdoggsteel]

Mowbray out 

Sick of this shit 

[G Somerset Rover]

Complete apathy on social media now. No anger, no Mowbray out. This will just continue for years more to come no doubt.

Thanks a lot Venky’s you absolute cretins.

Whereas we are what? Are we a more modern model then?

In that case why are we languishing in 15th place?

God he spouts some crap.

The usual suspects are blaming everything but Mowbray.

The shocker is that they aren't spitting venom at people criticising Mowbray like they usually do.

Coyle/Kean syndrome

[Bigdoggsteel]

How can anyone back him at this stage? The only fear would be they make a terrible appointment,but could anyone really be worse at this stage? I don't think so 

We could be relegated yet. Classic Venkys. Idiots 

[Ewood Ace]

Another barrel load of garbage from him. Bemoaning the fact that sides sit deep against us, Cardiff did it in the 4th game of the season we didn't have an answer then and 30+ games on we still don't. Instead of moaning about it come up with some fresh ideas instead of doing the same things game after game and getting the same results. As for saying that Gallagher 'isn’t someone who historically has scored goals from crosses'. Well it's quite difficult for him to when he is the one putting the crosses in tonight for example we had the 6ft 3 Gallagher putting in crosses for the 5ft 5 Dolan. But Gallagher showed under Coyle that if played central he can score goals from crosses.

Cant believe Mowbray is still here. I wouldn't be able to look at myself in the mirror if I were him.

I commented on it on the match thread but read that quote again, that's not actually what it says. There's a double negative 😅.

Mowbray out!

[RevidgeBlue]

Mowbray isn't going anywhere unless he is paid off and I doubt "The Coventry 3" as a whole intend going anywhere until the Brockhall development thing is resolved one way or the other.

Ideally we need the owners to step in and give all three the bullet. 

We can but live in hope. 

[simongarnerisgod]

final thought for tonight is he said he would quit if he was becoming a burden,well it`s gone past that tony,you are now officially an irritant
