Backroom DE. Posted April 9, 2021 Backroom Posted April 9, 2021 (edited) And keep in mind this is the second time Mowbray has taken us on a truly horrific and embarrassing run of form. We also had the 9 defeats in 11 run in the 18/19 season. I believe somebody on here mentioned this is our worst run of form in 43 years. Imagine being able to lead a team on a worse run of form than Steve Kean, who was mostly managing us at a level higher than this one! If Mowbray had any of the pride he claims to possess he would have walked away a long time ago. Edited April 9, 2021 by DE. 9 Quote

We need points and we need them quickly. The man is a fool. This situation is frightening me. The cloak and dagger self preservation is in full effect,we have a complete conflict of interest here I fear. Hold on tight. Quote

Unfortunately they aren't. Quote

Makes grim reading for old Tony. Mowbray - P15 / W2 / D4 / L9 - 0.67 PPG Coyle - P15 / W4 / D4 / L7 - 1.07 PPG Bowyer - P15 / W3 / D8 / L4 - 1.13 PPG Interestingly both Bowyer and Coyle were sacked going into an international break so looks like we missed the boat the other week. I cannot understand how anyone with such a record is still clinging on. Man of integrity... Its because: Its about performances, not results The stats say we should be promoted already. There is light at the end of the tunnel. But also: Its about results We don't look at stats The tunnel collapsed Quote

Then recently.its like he been trying to talk the owners through the media cos he no longer has direct contact with the owners as everything has to go through Pasha now. 11 hours ago, chaddyrovers said: Think the decision to sack him has been made but cos we used HSH agency if they dont have a suitable candidate might be why hes not gone yet. Even if your optimistic theories are true, what would it make you think of owners who decide when they have lost faith in a manager rather than dealing with it and sacking him, they just dont deal with him at all and fob him off to Pasha, and also that they will only get a manager from one agency? Even if hes not under pressure with the owners, he still will feel pressure from the media and try to justify himself. He will still be here next season. We have collected 6 point from 7 games since that Reading game when he supposedly sounded under pressure, so its clearly not from the owners. Quote

Popular Post Mercer Posted April 9, 2021 Popular Post Posted April 9, 2021 I think modified words from Sinatra's 'My way' could be appropriate: And now their end is here And so they face that final curtain I think it's pretty clear the fat lady is clearing her throat. 10 Quote

Popular Post matt83 Posted April 9, 2021 Popular Post Posted April 9, 2021 Having said time and time again I do not believe Mowbray will be going anywhere on Monday evening I foolishly allowed myself to believe he’d sacked on Tuesday. Obviously when nothing happened I think this week I’ve been as low as a rovers fan as any point under kean and coyle. For me Kean is still the nadir as a rovers fan but the sheer volume of nonsense that comes out of Mowbray’s mouth can stand up against anything Kean said. 14 Quote

Cos this lack of communication between the owners and manager happened twice before with Bowyer and Lambert. Mowbray admitted this about a month I think that he doesnt have direct contact with the owners anymore and deals with Pasha now. The last 4 managers have come from that agency. No reason to think it wont again. 3 hours ago, roversfan99 said: Even if hes not under pressure with the owners, he still will feel pressure from the media and try to justify himself.

He has felt the pressure for weeks now. Probably since that Reading game. His comments are directly towards the owners and not the fans cos of the lack of direct contact. He has felt the pressure the media and some question over his future. Its one win in 14 games which is unacceptable. He said he had built a top 6 quality team this season. his words. We are 17th in the league which is unacceptable totally. Of course he is under pressure from them after they backed his slow plan and backed him financially in terms of transfer fees and wages. Do you think they bankrolled it to finish 17th in the league? If you think he will be here next season fine BUT others don't including myself. I know your view already so why keep posting it?

Do you think that an absence of communication between Mowbray and the owners, and also a narrow minded and dodgy approach of only considering managers from a particular agency are healthy ways to run a football club?

If they choose another manager from the same agency then it will prove furthermore that have learnt sweet F**k all Like Chaddy says the last four managers appointed from that particular agency's stable and they were all failures. 1 Quote

That's their way they do it. I dont think Mowbray should have a direct line the owners. Everything should go Pasha and good CEO(not Waggott) The last 4 managers have come from that Agency. Mowbray has done well but this season is unacceptable, Bowyer did a fairly good job but couldnt take us further, Lambert not here long enough as I think he would have got us top 6, Coyle was disaster. I hope they dont use any agency but appoint the best candidate whether it British manager like Wilder, Hughes, Neil, Ainsworth for example or we go foriegn head coach like Rosler or Ivic for example with Sporting director in place. 1 Quote
