Tony Mowbray Discussion

I don’t see the structure as much different to a lot of foreign owned clubs. CEOs are, by definition, paid employees, who answer to someone else. What was unusual was Williams having the latitude that he did, because the then owners were completely disinterested. Balaji’s son taking over might even by a good thing (or a less bad thing) 

I’m not particularly arsed who’s running things or what title they have, just strikes me as anything but transparent that the main man at the club, indeed the only person with executive power by the sounds of it, is completely in the shadows  - that isn’t the norm with foreign owned clubs.

@Mercer, you still think he is still coming here to replace Mowbray?

It's probably better than banging your head on a brick wall, which appears to be the only alternative. 

I made the mistake of reading the views of some Rovers fans on twitter today - happy with the owners, happy with Mowbray, happy with the world. Absolutely frightening. 

Mowbray should go now whilst he's flying high.

A 1-1 draw against Norwich leaving us rooted to 15th.

The "Unconditionally Mowbray" fan club would combust if that ever happened.

Please let it happen.

I'd be all over a swap with Neil for Mowbray just for a new voice and a bit more aggression.

Sums that lot up and their gynormous Rovers sized chips on their shoulders that they'd want a guy who's achieved less with more than Neil has done with them. He's got them punching way above their current weight.

Clowns.

And his promotion was less than a decade ago i think.

They have someone who can make decisions?

Just makes our set up even more exasperating.

It's the hope that kills ya apparently, so I'm glad in a way you've left me with none!

[tomphil]

I see quite a lot of No-benders angry at this and blaming Ridsale, saying he's a good manager but what can they expect selling their best players.

That'll be Mowbrays next excuse here once the summer sales have taken their toll.

Preston have put Alex Neil's number 2 McAvoy in charge for the rest of the season with Steve Thompson, Paul Gallagher assisting him

In a fantasy world where Mowbray actually gets sacked, would we be looking at a similar list ?

No Cowley on there and not too many foreign managers listed.

No way Preston would go for Ferguson again. I can see them going for Appleton or Derek Adams.

If that were a list of Potential Rovers Managers I'd plump for Ainsworth

[Richard Oakley]

Guy covering Norwich v Blackburn Rovers on Soccer Saturday said the players late in second half would set Mowbray in good stead for next season. 7 of said players are either loans or out of contract. Get Mowbray out of here to give a new management team time to assess what we've got here. Summer's too late, players we want to keep will have gone elsewhere.

Some gobshyte called Tim Sherwood I do believe

Wouldn't pay too much attention to that list, it's been compiled by the bookies to relieve mug punters of their money.

Cowley has just gone in at Portsmouth until the end of the season so is temporarily unavailable.

Whilst some of the list makes pretty grim reading, there are still 2 names that stand out Bilic and Jokanovic and I'd take a few more on there over Mowbray as well.
